It requires backup cameras to shut off within a specific time or distance after moving forward to prevent driver distraction. A screen stuck on the reverse camera means the vehicle failed to comply with federal safety safety standards in that moment, actively flashing an illegal, high-contrast visual distraction while trying to navigate. I am writing to formally report a critical safety defect regarding the infotainment system in my 2026 Hyundai Tucson, which directly resulted in property damage on 7/6/26. While driving at approximately 35 mph, the center display screen failed to disengage the rear view camera. The persistent, high-visibility flashing of moving traffic behind me in my peripheral vision completely obscured my forward safety alerts and navigation, creating an immediate visual hazard. This system glitch distracted me at a critical moment, causing an impact with a curb. Given that this incident was precipitated by a verified malfunction of a federally regulated safety system (FMVSS 111), I requested that Hyundai corporate review this case, investigate the failure of this component, and cover the cost of the $3,337 structural repairs. They have denied my request. I am aware that NHTSA Recall 26V400000/Hyundai Recall 304 is pending complete entry of all affected vehicles (vehicle was built at the Montgomery plant). Hyundai issued Technical Service Bulletin TSB 24-BE-001H for 2022\u20132026 Tucsons. It officially documents that these infotainment systems suffer from \"freezing, lagging, unresponsive touchscreens, and intermittent blank screens\". The bulletin attributes this to a loose internal coaxial cable and software bugs. I feel strongly that the camera freeze is a direct byproduct of this documented hardware/software defect.

I am referencing NHTSA TSB #25-01-024H (Service Campaign 9C1). I would like to encourage NHTSA to reconsider their position on this ongoing network failure as more than a technical service communication issue but, rather, as an emergency safety recall as many Hyundai customers are experiencing this same stuck software update loop and loss of vital safety features.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2026","productMake":"HYUNDAI","productModel":"TUCSON","manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America"}]},{"odiNumber":11739395,"manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/20/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"05/21/2026","vin":"KM8JEDD14TU","components":"FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE","summary":"I experienced forward collision warning active three timeseven when the car before it's far more mine and one time it used automated emergency braking","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2026","productMake":"HYUNDAI","productModel":"TUCSON","manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America"}]},{"odiNumber":11739059,"manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/06/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"05/20/2026","vin":"5NMJBCDE8TH","components":"TIRES","summary":"Tire Brand Name Kuhmo HP71    23560R18103H  DOT Number 000CMYA8E 5225    The contact stated that while driving 30 mph and accelerated the passenger right rear tire on the 3 diameter hole, punctured in side wall.

I ran this through my Claude AI and it says this is an ongoing problem with the Hyundai Tucson. Please make them fix this before selling anymore vehicles as both are major safety hazards.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2026","productMake":"HYUNDAI","productModel":"TUCSON","manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America"}]},{"odiNumber":11723435,"manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"03/10/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"03/10/2026","vin":"KM8JEDD16TU","components":"FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE","summary":"I purchased the car about 30 days ago.  in that short time on two occasions, with absolutely NO REASON the 'Forward Safety Warning System' engaged and applied the brakes so severely that on both occasions i narrowly missed being rear-ended.  Fortunately, all vehicle occupants had their seat belts on, otherwise we would have been thrown around the car.  In the first occasion my husband was driving about 50 mph and BAM WHAM!  Totally out of the blue the car throws itself into a complete stop for NO REASON...he was NOT close to any car.  The second time happened today.  i was in traffic going about 15 MPH and BAM WHAM!  the car SLAMMED on the brakes and everything in our car went flying around the cabin and the car behind me had to evade from hitting me.    I am afraid to drive this car under this situation.  i saw i can turn off the braking system - but it only works for each ride and will come back every time i start the car.  This is VERY VERY dangerous and is an accident waiting to happen. i wish i could give the car back.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2026","productMake":"HYUNDAI","productModel":"TUCSON","manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America"}]},{"odiNumber":11721876,"manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America","crash":true,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":1,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"03/01/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"03/04/2026","vin":"5NMJACDEXTH","components":"SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE","summary":"The brakes pushed down to the floor before the collision and wouldn\u2019t stop the car my passenger was injured no warning system on the collision prevention and nothing engaged my foot was on the floor and there was about a 10 second delay before the brakes kicked in it\u2019s all on dash cam","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2026","productMake":"HYUNDAI","productModel":"TUCSON","manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America"}]},{"odiNumber":11717044,"manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America","crash":true,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"01/22/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"02/10/2026","vin":"5NMJCCDE7TH","components":"FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE","summary":"I was in stop and go traffic on the highway. The car in front of me started going and I did as well. At this point, I was at least 3 car lengths behind them. They braked fairly quickly and I was as well. When I was braking, the FCA emergency braking enabled super prematurely. The result of the emergency braking caused the vehicle behind me to rear end me. My car has since been repaired, however this is super disappointing on a brand new car with 500 miles.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2026","productMake":"HYUNDAI","productModel":"TUCSON","manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America"}]},{"odiNumber":11713864,"manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"11/11/2025","dateComplaintFiled":"01/28/2026","vin":"KM8JEDD12TU","components":"FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE","summary":"The contact owns a 2026 Hyundai Tucson.

The first time I had the forward safety timing set at standard and the second time it was set at late. In both instances I was fully at a safe distance from the car in front of me and was applying the break myself. Upon investigating it seems like this is a common problem. Like it is too sensitive to the break of the car ahead and too harsh on its own breaks. I would like to be able to keep this feature turned off and not have to reset each time I start my car. I feel unsafe that the safety feature will actually cause an accident.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2026","productMake":"HYUNDAI","productModel":"TUCSON","manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America"}]}]}
