Electrical system

2 reports2 related recalls
“The HUD will disappear and warning lights will flash on the dashboard. It lasts for about five seconds. Sometimes it happens a few times in a row and then it might not occur again for a couple of days. This problem is covered by NHTSA Campaign 26V400 and I had the car's software updated at the dealership in July as per Hyundai Recall 304. However, the problem persists. Hyundai issued TSB 24-BE-007H-1 and has provided tools to dealers to fix the issue, but the dealer is refusing to perform the repair saying that it isn't covered by Hyundai.”

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 6,400.”

Vehicle speed control

1 report
“Advanced Driver Assistance System not listed: "Forward Attention Warning" I recently purchased the 2025 Hyundai Tucson PHEV Limited and on a road trip the next few days later I tried to activate the cruise control when all of a sudden a few seconds later it gave a warning and shut off. I tried again and it did the same thing. I had to pull over, check the setup menu and even though this is a process to deactivate the system it DOES stay active. After researching this online and looking up the Hyundai Manual, when you activate cruise control it automatically activates lane assist which automatically activates the Forward Attention Warning which, at that point, deactivates the cruise IF you are either wearing sunglasses or blocking the view of your face from the steering column camera using say your arm. The "assistance" does not allow you to drive with your arm at the top of the steering wheel, I was getting tired using both arms on each side and had to give one of my arms a rest only to realize this was an issue and couldn't. Add to this that it was sunny and could not use sunglasses as the camera couldn't see my eyes. I researched this online and there's…”

Lane departure

1 report
“We are writing to describe an issue we had with our 2025 Hyundai Tucson PHEV this past [XXX] day We were returning from Bellingham heading south on [XXX]. The Driver Assistance Eyes on the Road notice came on often, making beeps ([XXX] has experienced this message often even though his eyes are definitely on the road). Suddenly, it came on constantly, and then the alert in the center circle on the console turned RED and showed a message that said “Take control of your vehicle immediately. Turning engine off. Leave the road” I may not have this quote exactly right, but it’s close. All the time the loud beeping continued. [XXX] did as directed and immediately pulled over unto to the narrow shoulder on the freeway with cars racing past at 70 mph. We had no idea what was going on. He quickly determined that the car was functioning ok so pulled back out onto the highway. I was panicked, but of course [XXX] was calm and in control. He decided to take off his hat and also his glasses (doesn’t need them for driving). Still got the message but not the red alert one we had previously experienced. We stopped for gas before continuing on to the ferry and took the time off…”
