Common problems with the 2025 Tucson
NHTSA's file holds 459 owner complaints on the 2025 Hyundai Tucson. Owners named forward collision avoidance most often: 221 complaints, and half of the 24 that list a mileage came after 4,900 miles. A complaint can name more than one component.
| Component (NHTSA category) | Complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forward Collision Avoidance | 221 | 24 | 5,000 |
| Electrical System | 130 | 14 | 5,000 |
| Service Brakes | 50 | 2 | Under 5 mileages |
| Vehicle Speed Control | 41 | 1 | Under 5 mileages |
| Lane Departure | 35 | 1 | Under 5 mileages |
Of the 459 complaints, 42 report a crash, 2 report a fire and 24 report an injury (26 people reported injured). These are owners' reports to NHTSA, not findings.
Mileage when owners reported a problem with the 2025 Tucson
The 45 mileages owners gave run from 8 to 24,292 miles. A quarter are at or under 2,000 miles, half at or under 6,000, three quarters at or under 13,000 and nine in ten at or under 18,120; none came after 100,000 miles, none after 150,000 and none after 200,000.
These mileages say when owners reported a problem, not when a 2025 Tucson wears out. NHTSA's file holds only vehicles whose owners complained; one that ran without a problem never appears in it, so it gives no lifespan and no cutoff, and how a vehicle was maintained matters more than any one odometer reading.
Most of these reports came early in the vehicle's life: all 45 came at or under 100,000 miles, so they say nothing about how many miles a 2025 Tucson can cover.
Complaint mileage also follows a model year's age: the 2025 has had less time to cover miles than older years, so its figures will rise as it ages.
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Lowest mileage listed | 8 miles |
| 25th percentile | 2,000 miles |
| Median (50th percentile) | 6,000 miles |
| 75th percentile | 13,000 miles |
| 90th percentile | 18,120 miles |
| Highest mileage listed | 24,292 miles |
| Complaints after 100,000 miles | none |
| Complaints after 150,000 miles | none |
| Complaints after 200,000 miles | none |

Is the 2025 Tucson a good year?
Complaint counts cannot say whether the 2025 is a good or a bad Tucson: they rise with how many were sold and how long they have been on the road. They show how the 2025 compares with the other model years in NHTSA's file.
With 459 complaints, the 2025 ranks 4th of the 22 Hyundai Tucson model years from 2005 to 2026 with 10 or more complaints, counting from the most. The most: the 2016 (1,626). The fewest: the 2009 (18).
The 2025 is a recent model year: it has had less time than older years to collect complaints, so its count is still growing. No year is ranked by mileage here, because a year's median mileage mostly follows its age.
| Model year | Owner complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2005 Tucson | 185 | 139 | 57,000 |
| 2006 Tucson | 135 | 108 | 65,000 |

What these figures can and cannot tell you
- Complaints are owners’ reports to NHTSA. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them: a complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
- The mileage is what the owner wrote on the complaint; NHTSA does not check it against the odometer.
- The make, model and model year are the ones on the complaint. NHTSA records them as filed, so a few complaints sit under a model year the name was not sold in.
- They are not a lifespan study. The file holds only vehicles whose owners reported a problem, so these figures do not say how long a typical 2025 Tucson lasts.
- A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it is not a rating of the 2025 Tucson.
- Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
- 414 of the 459 complaints on the 2025 Hyundai Tucson give no usable mileage (blank, zero, a filler such as 999999, or over 500,000) and are left out of every mileage figure.
- NHTSA names counted: TUCSON, TUCSON HYBRID and TUCSON PLUG-IN HYBRID. NHTSA files some vehicles under several names (a series name and a trim name, for example); this page counts only these.
- Recall-file names matched: TUCSON, TUCSON HYBRID and TUCSON PLUG-IN HYBRID.
