I am writing to file a complaint for the "consider taking a break" alert. I am a competent driver and yet my new Hyundai consistently alerts me on almost every drive that I need to take a break. It's problematic because it's ironically very distracting. It's not a feature that can be turned off and I think it needs to be optional.

Vehicle: 2025 Hyundai Tucson SEL Mileage: Approximately 14,500 miles Tire: Original factory-installed 235/60R18 Incident Date: August 13, 2026 Time: Approximately 2:24 PM Location: US 751 near Garrett Road, North Carolina Injuries: None At approximately 2:24 PM on August 13, 2026, a 2025 Hyundai Tucson SEL with approximately 14,500 miles experienced a sudden front driver’s-side tire blowout while being driven on US 751 near Garrett Road in North Carolina. The vehicle was equipped with the original factory-installed 235/60R18 tires. The tire failed suddenly while the vehicle was being driven, creating a significant safety concern and potential loss of vehicle control. No injuries were reported. I went to the location to assist. Initially, I believed the damage was limited to the tire. The damaged tire was replaced so the vehicle could be driven safely, and the tires were subsequently replaced at a tire shop. After the incident, an unusual and persistent noise developed from the front driver’s-side area. Because the noise continued after the tire replacement, the vehicle was taken to a repair facility for further inspection. The vehicle is currently at the repair facility, and I am waiting for the inspection and repair findings. I do not yet have the mechanic’s final diagnosis regarding the source of the noise or whether there is additional mechanical damage. The front driver’s-side wheel/rim also sustained visible scratches and damage during the incident. I have photographs documenting the damaged tire and wheel, although the original damaged tire has already been replaced and is no longer in my possession. Given that the vehicle had only approximately 14,500 miles and the tire was an original factory-installed tire, I am concerned about the safety implications of a sudden tire failure on a relatively new vehicle. I am submitting this complaint to NHTSA so that this incident can be documented and evaluated for any potential safety issue or pattern involving t

The rear seat belt is stuck. The vehicle was only 3 months old when it was noticed. Originally, I thought the constant beeping about the rear seat belts was due to this error, but it is 2 separate issues.

The windshield wipers will only go up once they have fully gone down all the way. Therefore, when snow (or something else) gets stuck below the windshield wipers while they are in use, they cannot go all the way down, and they will therefore not go back up again. The wipers become inoperable while trying to complete their cycle, and stay stuck in place creating extremely unsafe conditions. This incident occurred numerous times while in the snow, where a large chunk of snow or ice prevented the wipers from going all the way down, and the wipers would not work to remove additional falling snow until I pulled over and cleared the area below the wipers. I contacted HyundaiUSA and they said I had to go to dealer to address this issue, but the problem is not a manufacturing problem or broken part with my car, it is a design flaw that significantly impacts safety.
