2024 Hyundai Tucson
This year drew an ordinary 93 complaints for a Hyundai Tucson — the model's median is 185. What they were about is the unusual part: 8.6% of them mention manual, against 0.5% across the other years of this generation.
Generation 4 of the Hyundai Tucson, which began in 2022. Everything below compares this year against the others in that generation, not against a different car wearing the same name.
NHTSA opened a defect investigation into this model year.

Words owners used for the same problem are counted together, so a fault written four different ways is measured once. Grouped by which complaints they appear in, not by a list anyone wrote in advance.
What owners wrote
At high speeds above 40 MPH vehicle automatically brakes with no vehicle or objects in front while vehicle is in operation. Very concerning when driving on interstate.
the entire computer system shorted out throughout the entire car. It did not let me select above all of what it affected. The entire car malfunction due to the dealer not doing predelivery inspection. They have the vehicle and have not given me a written expla…

How this was worked out
Every year of the Hyundai Tucson was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
