20251006FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

Car stopped abruptly in backed-up traffic on I-84 when there was no danger of hitting the vehicle ahead. It created a danger of being struck by the vehicle behind.

20251006UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The Driver Attention Warning alarms every few minutes in highway driving. The loud ringing bell and the dashboard display are very distracting and a hazard in their own right.

20251005FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS

The forward collision system suddenly slammed the brakes hard to a full stop. This has happened multiple times in situations where there was no real danger(still safe distance with the car in front). I was fully in control, and there were no obstacles or sudden movements from other vehicles. Both times there was a car right behind me, and I was just lucky they didn’t hit me because they swerved into the shoulder. After the first 2 times, I mentioned it to the dealership and asked if there wa

The Forward Attention Monitor (or Driver Attention Monitor/Warning...or something similarly named) that monitors the driver's eyes to insure he/she is looking forward at all times) is overly sensitive and shuts off the adaptive cruise control and lane keeping systems. While it does this, there is a beeping, and a text display on the dash that requires reading, it is probably a sentence long, further distracting the driver from looking at the road....This potentially would cause a following vehic

While driving, the digital cluster (unit that displays speed, fuel etc) goes blank many times and this is a major safety issues as critical info is unavailable and also very distracting while driving as the unit flickers and reboots during driving. Here are a few videos of the issue: [XXX] I took the car to dealership where they replaced the cluster module but i still am facing the issues even after repairs.

My new Hyundai Tucson has less than 5K miles on it and while driving on a fairly empty road the panoramic sunroof exploded for no reason (as we know nothing hit it). Fortunately the screen was closed at the time, but had it been open then glass shards could have entered the car. I often have my grandchildren in car seats with the screen open and this could have caused serious eye damage to them. Hyundai and other manufacturers know this is a common problem but refuse to do anything about it. The

20251004FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS

Cannot use any driver assistance features while wearing sunglasses (even the lightest lens). I have macular degenation and this affects my future vision. I either can't wear sunglasses (which my eye doctor says are a MUST) or cannot use cruise control or driver assistance features with them. This was not disclosed prior to car purchase and Hyundai claims it is to guard against drivers falling asleep. Unlikely in daylight and if cruise control and distance WAS being used and someone fell asleep

20251002POWER TRAIN

I purchased a brand new vehicle with only 12 miles on it. Less than 72 hours later I had to have it towed. I turned the vehicle on and tried to put it in drive and 2 error messages came up. One was the check hyrid system and the other was a check engine. The diagostic tool on the car says it is related to transmission. The dealership doesnt have time to look into it yet and the Manager from the dealership I bought it from offered no solutions since I travelled home to another state.

My 2025 Tucson hybrid violently stopped in mid traffic while leaving the intersection once the signal turned green to proceed. I accelerated getting to speed limit then it abruptly stopped, violently throwing contents from back seat to the forward cabin. Both, myself the driver and my passenger were jolted violently. The school bus behind me had to stop quickly as we were just getting up to speed from a stop light. The vehicle is brand new, 2024 miles on it. Tucson Nline Hybrid with all the safe
