2025 Hyundai Tucson Brakes Problems

Your car's automatic emergency braking system is activating when there's no actual hazard — including from minor road bumps at low speeds — causing it to brake suddenly to a complete stop. This sudden braking creates a whiplash risk for you and your passengers and increases the chance of being rear-ended by vehicles behind you. The issue is that you cannot disable this safety feature from your dashboard controls.

Your vehicle's automatic emergency braking system has activated unexpectedly twice with no obstacles present, causing hard braking that injured your wrist. The dealership confirmed a faulty front right camera is causing the forward collision and automatic braking system to malfunction. Additionally, your brake pads needed premature replacement due to squeaking. Fixing this will likely require camera replacement and possible brake system diagnostics to ensure proper function.

Your Tucson's automatic braking system is activating suddenly and aggressively even when there's no real collision risk — such as when passing nearby objects or backing out of parking spaces. This unexpected braking could cause a rear-end collision or disrupt traffic flow. Adjusting the system settings doesn't fix the problem, and the settings reset when you restart the vehicle. A software update or recalibration of the collision-avoidance sensor sensitivity may be needed to address the overly aggressive braking behavior.

Your car's automatic braking system has engaged hard at least three times when there was nothing in front of you, causing sudden full stops. Once, the system activated when a piece of plastic bag was fluttering on the side of the road, nearly causing an accident. This suggests the automatic brake system may be overly sensitive to non-threatening objects. A diagnostic scan of the automatic braking sensors and software calibration may be needed to address the false activation issue.

Your car's forward collision avoidance system is triggering hard braking unexpectedly — sometimes when pulling out of your driveway, sometimes while driving through town — even when there's no actual obstacle ahead. The forward collision warning light stays on frequently and won't turn off even after cleaning the sensor. The dealer says all systems are functioning normally, but the problem persists. The issue may require diagnosing the collision sensor, cleaning or realigning it, or replacing faulty electronic components in the forward collision system.

Your car's forward collision avoidance system continued braking on its own even after you released the brake pedal, bringing the vehicle to a complete stop and nearly causing the car behind you to collide with your rear bumper. This happened twice during highway driving in normal conditions when you were braking for traffic ahead. While you can disable this safety feature, it automatically re-enables every time you start the vehicle, requiring you to manually turn it off each time you drive.

The contact owns a 2025 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed attempting to park in front of a building, the brake pedal was depressed, however the vehicle failed to stop as intended. The contact stated that the vehicle lunged forward and independently accelerated. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle crashed into the building. The crash caused damage to the interior and the exterior of the building. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. The vehicle was later taken to a collision center. The contact was informed to bring the vehicle back at a later date. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. No police report was filed. No injuries were sustained. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle had experienced some electrical issues six months after owning the vehicle. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 4,500.

The forward collision avoidance system in this generation of Hyundai tucsons is dangerously flawed. We previously had a 2020 and no issues, but this one slams the brakes at the drop of a hat and has nearly caused several accidents as there is no good reason for the intervention (ample space to leading vehicle) and it brakes so hard that cars behind typically need to veer to avoid rear end collision. This is not a one-off event or linked to particular driver/driving style - both adult owners of this vehicle have experienced this on multiple unrelated occasions. All sensitivity setting have been set to minimum and the only way to drive with peace of mind is to completely disable the system - but here is where the next massive design flaw is: the system automatically reenables at each re-ignition; there is not permanent override, which is EXTREMELY dangerous. It is not practical to manually disable the system on each drive because you need to navigate multiple system menus to adjust the setting. Google and user forums confirm this collision avoidance system is a widely experienced and complained about safety issue for Hyundai and it should be investigated. People will likely get killed due to this “safety feature”. Ideally Hyundai should push a recalibration for those who want this feature AND enable a permanent override option in the system settings for those who don’t.

customer of Hyundai 4 years now. issues with the Forward Collison-Avoidance Assist (FCA) on my 2025 Tuscan, malfunctioning, aggressively breaking, fantom breaking when absolutely no imminent collision will happen, causing other drivers to come within inches of a rear crash with me, also the same fantom breaking while parallel parking. the breaking causes me to be thrown towards my windshield. made appointment with a Hyundai service they inspected on a diagnostic machine and no recommended "codes" were available after test was done, no repairs made they said my car is fine. happened again within 2 blocks of service center PLEASE HELP

I was travelling East in the left kane on the southern state parkway in Long Island, NY. The car in fron of me stopped short. I had plenty of time to slow down, then my car brakes locked up and I was almost rearended. Fortunately the driver behind me was alert and moved to the shoulder to avoid contact.

The car breaks itself so abruptly when there is no real danger. This has almost caused for me to be rear ended on multiple occasions. Especially scary on the freeway. The forward collision warning is set to "late," and it still causes a huge jolt.

I was traveling on [XXX] in Nashville. There was a motorcycle speed trap on the right shoulder so I moved over to the left. The car in front of me also moved to the left and my car slammed on the brakes and came to a complete stop on the highway. I was badly rear-ended causing $12,500 in damage. This has happened 2 other times to me since then. This seems to be a consistent problem with the 2025 Hyundai Tucson. I'm fixing my car and selling it as I don't feel safe.

Several times now the Forward Collision Safety has activated and the car came to an abrupt stop. The car in front of me was braking and I was lightly tapping the brake pedal when out of nowhere the car started shuttering and came to a complete stop. This definitely scared me and I was relieved that the car behind me did not rear end me. I was not going fast by any means and I did not slam on the brakes as there was no need to. The Forward Collision is not a safety feature. This is a real problem and now I am scared of this braking design. I now deactivate this feature every time I turn the car on because there is no way to permanently dismantle this. Hyundai needs a recall to correct this.

Automatic brakes are deploying with no apparent hazard.
