2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid

Too new to assess

The 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid is too new for this measure. Almost every complaint about a vehicle this recent is a first-year complaint, because that is all the service life there has been, so the figure cannot separate a genuine early defect from simple youth. The complaint counts, systems and recalls below still stand on their own. The most-reported system is collision avoidance (86 complaints), typically at 10 mo or about 5,380 miles.

In owners’ own words

Collision avoidance mileage not reported 5 mo in service
I have had two incidents where the emergency braking system applied itself when there was no reason for it to do so. Both times there was a car in the distance, over 20 feet away that was slowing, and I was slowing as well. The second time it happened, it was with great force and I was fortunate that the car behind me was able to brake in time and avoid rear ending me.
Collision avoidance mileage not reported 7 mo in service
The emergency braking system slams on brakes prematurely when the car in front of me is 4 or more car lengths ahead which is causing the cars behind me to swerve to avoid rear ending me. The safety of the emergency braking is making the car more dangerous to me and other motorists.
Collision avoidance mileage not reported 8 mo in service crash / fire / tow
The automatic braking has almost caused me to be rear-ended, and the enraged driver behind me Leaned on his horn and flipped me off. Today, it caused a rear-end collision behind me because of the unwarranted abrupt locking of the brakes. I drove to the dealership and had them turn off this safety feature. It's VERY dangerous!
