Too much Safety and Tech. Absolutely ridiculous!
Vehicle is nice looking rides ok but all the safety and infotainment tech is ridiculous and ruins it for the whole vehicle. Examples:
You can’t go thru a track driverless car wash without the vehicles safety tech halting car and causing near collisions. Even going thru the track car wash with someone in car you have to try and turn off safety features then hope it works. Should getting your car washed be this difficult? I don’t think so.
The forward collision safety warning has nearly caused rear end collisions in heavy traffic when I was changing lanes when it took control and momentarily stopped car.
Infotainment system is difficult to use if you can use it at all with older iPods or flip phones. Again instructions seem to not help or are not user friendly. I have yet to figure it out.
I thought maybe it was just me having a difficult time navigating this car. But apparently I am not the only Tucson owner who feels this way if you seek reviews on line.
I had high expectations of this Tucson because it’s the 4th new Hyundai I have bought. I loved all 3 of my other Hyundais, 2000 Elantra (4yrs), 2004 Santa Fe (10yrs), 2015 Elantra (10yrs).
But this 2025 Hyundai Tucson Sel is a big disappointment. I should have kept my 2015 Elantra that only had 60000 miles on it. Better vehicle all around and so easy to drive and use phone, radios, and iPod with music.
