The horn on my 2025 Hyundai Tucson Limited failed without warning in mid January 2026 and no longer functions. This creates a serious safety risk because I was unable to warn another driver while they were merging into my lane on the highway. Without a functioning horn, I cannot alert other drivers to avoid potential collisions. The vehicle was inspected by Balise Hyundai in Springfield, MA, on January 23, 2026, and the dealership confirmed the horn requires replacement. However, they cannot ca

The horn in our 2025 Hyundai Tucson failed. We took the vehicle to two separate dealerships to get replaced, but were told the horns were out of stock with no ETA for parts. I followed up multiple times over several months with both dealerships, but got nowhere. This is a huge safety issue. How can Hyundai not correct this issue?

The adaptive cruise control reduces speed when the car's driver camera "senses" that driver is distracted when in fact, this occurs frequently within even a 30 minute drive: it senses "distracted driving" due to wearing sunglasses, short stature making in cab camera have difficulty seeing eyes of driver, etc. This is a frequent problem in my car and a frequent problem in driver forums. This is unsafe when it slows car without warning and is stressful. Upgrades needed for safety.

I had the Car's instrument panel go totally blank in March 2025 on my new 2025 Tucson Hybrid while driving on my first long distance trip. I took it to my local Hyundai dealer to have the issue looked at upon my return home, but they could not replicate the problem and therefore could not help me. I had the exact same issue of the instrument panel going out again on my latest long-distance trip in December 2025. I have not taken it in for service since the first time this problem happened as

I was driving straight in the left most lane on an expressway, about to make a left turn on a green left turn arrow. The vehicle in front of me was making a U-turn. My Hyundai Tucson abruptly braked quite hard. I'm not sure what caused it but I'm guessing the vehicle making U-turn slowed down a bit before the U-turn and might have triggered a forward collision avoidance braking but I didn't feel like there was a need. This caused the vehicle right behind me to also abruptly brake and if they had
