2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Recalls, Ratings & Complaints

Incident: August 20, 2026 · Filed: October 27, 2026

While trying to start my 2025 Hyundai Tucson SEL hybrid that was parked on incline with 13,000 miles on the vehicle, the gear shift was stuck on Neutral and we could not even turn-off the engine. The failure occurred onXXX while parked at XXX Market ([XXX]. The vehicle was stuck on "Neutral" and the gear could not be changed nor could we even turn off the engine. Furthermore, because the car was parked on an incline, we had to apply break until car simply allowed us to have control over the gear shift function after about 30 minutes. As a result, we were highly distressed and could not even go out of the car in fear of car rolling back and crashing into another car or people. Fortunately, there was no crash, no injuries. The vehicle was taken to dealership but no diagnosis or repair performed since they required leaving the car at dealership for extended time and the dealership did not have the loaner car, which was included in the purchase warrantee. I believe this condition creates a safety hazard because the same scenario of being parked on incline on Neutral could happen anytime. The problem has not occurred again but we are extremely concerned for our safety. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The rear middle seat's seatbelt anchors on the outside of the rear passenger seat's inner rigid LATCH system. It is permanently anchored under the seat, so it cannot be moved. This causes the middle seatbelt to overlap over the rear passenger seat's rigid LATCH system after installing a car seat, which is a safety concern, as the middle seatbelt would be rubbing against it. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? We cannot put an infant carseat in the rear passenger seat using the rigid LATCH system until this is resolved. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? UNKNOWN Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? UNKNOWN Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No.

I was in an accident back in March that I think is related to a recall announced in June. I asked that Hyundai refund my insurance deductible and they rejected my claim. I'm hoping regulatory support will be able to help.

This relates to emergency key. Key is not attached to FOB. It is separate. The key has a plastic sheath which comes off easily, allowing key to bend at hinge, and weakening hinge. Key then can separate from key ring and be lost ( I lost one of mine like this). Had an issue with car having no electrical power, could not get in, no electricity. App would not work. Luckily was close to home so got emergency key off wife's key ring. This is a safety issue since had I been away from home, in freezing weather or at night, this could have been dangerous since I would not be able to get in car. Since I am the primary driver, I now have the emergency key with me, but same thing is happening as the plastic sheath comes off easily in my pocket, and the key is bending. I suspect the hinge will break on this one also; I have temporarily taped the sheath on and ordered another key.

The heads-up display, all warning signs and the instrument cluster showing the speed unpredictably goes off - sometimes comes back on right away, sometimes doesn't for hours. The car is available if needs to be reviewed. One cannot know the speed of the vehicle without the speedometer, warning signs turn on & off randomly impairing one to judge the actual warnings, the blind-spot cameras that usually are visible on the instrument cluster cannot be seen, the randomized turning off of the HUD and instrument cluster mid-drive causes a great deal of distraction to the driver. Three services done so far - in last one they found the associated codes with the issue but could not duplicate the case. Inspected by the manufacturer. No particular warning signs - happens randomly and all warning signs turn on randomly too without any actual warning.
