2025 Hyundai Tucson
Too new to assess The 2025 Hyundai Tucson 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 (185 complaints), typically at 1.3 yr or about 5,000 miles.
