2025 Hyundai Tucson
This year drew an ordinary 269 complaints for a Hyundai Tucson — the model's median is 175. What they were about is the unusual part: 20.8% of them mention screen, against 8.2% 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
Instrument cluster screen and HUD go entirely blank intermittently, for various lengths of time. Loss of speedometer is a safety issue. Also, have no idea of what other functions may, or may not be working. Dealer acknowledges seeing and servicing this problem…

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.
