On the 2016-2025 Hyundai Tucson, the panoramic sunroof glass on the Tucson can crack or shatter spontaneously without impact. The issue has been reported across multiple model years and has generated significant NHTSA complaints. Thermal stress from temperature differentials and body flex during driving are suspected contributing factors. The large glass panel size makes it more susceptible to stress fractures originating from the bonded edges.
Replace the panoramic sunroof glass at the dealer. Hyundai has covered some replacements under goodwill warranty due to the volume of complaints. Document the damage with photos immediately and file an NHTSA complaint to support any warranty claim. Some owners opt to have a protective film applied after replacement, though this does not guarantee prevention.

On the 2016-2023 Hyundai Tucson, rear brake calipers on Tucson models are prone to seizing due to corroded slide pins, causing uneven pad wear, pulling to one side, and premature rotor warping. The issue is worse in northern climates with road salt exposure. Some owners report rear brakes needing replacement at only 20,000-30,000 miles.
Inspect and clean brake caliper slide pins, applying silicone-based caliper grease. If caliper piston is seized, replace the caliper ($100-200 per side). Replace pads and rotors as needed. Preventative maintenance: clean and re-grease slide pins at every brake service. Budget $300-700 per axle for pads, rotors, and caliper if needed.
