2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON

Within the last month, the passenger side front door will no longer open from the outside even if the door is unlocked. The driver must lean over to open the passenger door from the inside. Then approximately one week ago, the passenger rear door began to have issues in that it would not open from the outside nor would it open from the inside. This is a known safety issue which puts passengers at risk. A Technical Service Bulletin 21-bd-006h extends the warranty coverage to 10…

The instrument cluster intermittently goes completely black while driving, causing loss of the speedometer, warning lights, and gear indicator. The failure occurs randomly, including while the vehicle is in motion. The symptoms match the known 2026 Hyundai instrument‑cluster recall, but my VIN is not currently included.

2025 HYUNDAI TUCSON HYBRID

The center infotainment display flickers then goes fully blank while driving, caused by a defective coaxial cable with undersized shield width (Hyundai TSB MC-11010978-0001). When the screen blanks, the backup camera also stops working, leaving no rear visibility when reversing. Audio and head-up display still function. The vehicle and component are available for inspection. Safety risk: the display and backup camera fail without warning during normal driving and while reversing, eliminating…

I received a letter in March that there is a problem with The Tow Hitch Harness Accessory which could lead to a fire etc. They said they will come out with a repair. I contacted the Victory Hyundai dealership in Jefferson Ohio where I got the car in April and they said they have a repair but the trailer electrical/ lights will not work. I got a second letter saying they have a solution for repair in May I contacted Classic Hyundai twice to make sure the repair now will allow the lights and…

The contact stated that oil was frequently added to the engine. The vehicle became inoperable.

The vehicle was returned to the dealer for…

WIPERS STOP WORKING. THEY WILL FREEZE AND STOP MOVING ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. SO FAR I CAN FIX THE PROBLEM BY TURNING THE WIPERS OFF AND THEN BACK ON. MY CONCERN IS THAT MAY NOT WORK IN THE FUTURE. ALSO, IN HEAVY RAIN AN ACCIDENT MAY HAPPEN BEFORE I CAN RESTART THE WIPERS. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

While driving on a highway shortly after taking delivery of this vehicle as a Certified Pre-Owned purchase from an authorized Hyundai dealership, I experienced sudden and total brake failure. The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) warning light illuminated and an audible warning chime sounded. The brake pedal did not respond normally. I was unable to slow the vehicle with the brakes and was forced to make an emergency maneuver to exit the highway and come to a safe stop. Upon inspecting the…

Horn on vehicle consistently goes out. Either goes out entirely or the volume of the horn is below a safe level. This is a known Hyundai issue and Hyundai refuses to acknowledge it on this specific model, but has acknowledged it on different models. I Have had multiple repairs by Hyundai directly, and the horn consistently keeps going out. There are sometimes in dangerous situations where I need to utilize the horn to avoid an accident and warn other drivers of danger, and I am unable to do…
