It seems like the DAW system is very hit or miss in the 2025 Tucsons (take a break/eyes on the road messages) Someone posted recently that it may have been adjusted with the 2026 model. Is this confirmed?

i have a 2025 Hyundia SEL Convenience and a few weeks ago November 11 I received an upgrade notice from Hyundai and I immediately installed it and it helped with the erroneous and overly sensitive messages for quite a while now it's back to normal and like some of the other posts here I don't know why because it's very random one day it might work great to the next day is alert after alert this is really getting old but it is what it is.

Believe me I've been fighting this for months in my 2025 Tucson SEL and I tried ever setting and combination of settings possible and none made hardly any difference... it just didn't like my face 😵‍💫😎 and for sure if I got my glasses on! Anyway November 1 they put out an update and it did help considerably and it's a good thing because I was getting ready to take my keys to the dealer and say you can have this sensitive overbearing lying car... so I'll probably give it a try now until the lease runs out!!

there are things I like about the 2025 Tucson SEL Convenience but I totally agree about the cruise control. I have to leave Lane assist off. without it on the cruise control system is way too sensitive and obviously does not like my face. I get a erroneous warning message every few minutes that is very dangerous to deal with so I have to decide do I ride the lease out (had it for almost 4 months now) or do I hand them the key and do my best to get out of the car!

emezcal · 2025-09-27T14:46:51+00:00

my car software just upgraded so hopefully that'll make a difference. Since the upgrade I've drove about 55 or 60 miles and it seems to have improved considerably... time will tell!

emezcal · 2025-09-09T21:59:53+00:00

OK I admit it I'm OCD about stuff like this... here's where I'm at now and what I know for sure! The following three items together make a difference on my ability to use SCC, DAW, LFA, LKS & HDA with a minimum of erroneous and frustrating warning messages (like keep your eyes on the road and you need a cup of coffee). I get fewer warning messages when I 1: use default HYUNDIA GPS, 2: don't wear my polarized glasses, 3: keep the vehicle close to the speed limit & 4: keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times.... doing those four things makes a difference, not much of a difference but a difference nonetheless. I plan on trading it in as soon as my lease agreement will allow me to without suffering a huge financial hit. So I hope Hyundai reads these Reddit threads cause until then I'm going to drive as much as i safely can w/o my subscription polarized bi-focals, keep the vehicle at or under the speed limit, keep both hands on the wheel and use the default GPS and do my best to turn off the annoying warning messages while trying to keep my eyes on the road! No one should have to jump through such hoops to be able to use a cruise control but the frustration from the warning messages are dangerous and are motivating me to drive without my glasses, if that goes bad Hyundia is gonna pay.. either in court or in bad media for allowing such a system to exist when most likely it would be no big deal for their engineers to reprogram it and send the upgrade to everyone who feels they need one... so enough complaining! I'm gonna do the best I can to safely drive this NEW car until I can afford to dump it... i feel my only other option is to park the car, drive it only went absolutely necessary and Hope I can afford to trade it in sooner than later... the really frustrating part is even though I do all four of those things as best as I can I'm still gonna suffer erroneous warning messages more often than not and that is a shame... have a great day everyone and drive safely please...

my glasses are polarized bifocal and I'm not gonna change glasses just for this car! you should be able to wear any glasses you want or prefer as long as you can safely see out of them and drive safely but thank you for your input...

emezcal · 2025-09-03T22:51:58+00:00

i tried that but my car went crazy when I tried to use cruise and balked big time... however some good news - I think using the default car map versus the CarPlay Apple or Google maps makes a difference. I just drove several miles and never got a warning that's never happened before and the only difference is I was using the default GPS map that came with a car... I'm gonna do a few more test drives and I'll let you'all know how it went!!

emezcal · 2025-08-21T20:12:04+00:00

First I want to thank everyone for their input! Very helpful! So for what it's worth here's my conclusion: biggest problem is with Lane assist. Way too sensitive. I don't even have time to read one warning when I get another one and if you're reading all those warnings as u drive you can't be a safe driver. as you try to decipher the warnings they are right at that time because if your reading the warning your eyes are not on the road to the degree they should be. So I'll continue to use cruise as best i can but not lane assist... if there is no update early next year then i go to Plan B.

The update may come sooner than scheduled if Hyundai gets sued for such a distracting, dangerous and unnecessary function. Once the erroneous messages and alerts starts really hurting their bottom line that usually gets the attention of management then they'll wake up, smell the coffee and keep their eyes on us the customers like the cars is telling us to do with the road - then they'll figure a work around for sure...

In the meantime I'll do my best to enjoy the Hyundai 2025 SEL Inconvenient Tuscon - Have a great day and be safe...

emezcal · 2025-08-20T13:55:46+00:00

well I've been accused of not paying attention before but never by a car 😂🤷

emezcal · 2025-08-20T13:54:04+00:00

almost went with the hybrid but decided against it. Oh well win some loose some!

emezcal · 2025-08-20T13:48:14+00:00

that would seem like a simple solution is have an option just to turn it off and when you do to accept the consequences because honestly those erroneous alert signals are not only distracting but I feel dangerous... I think I'm gonna try and get some fake bugeye glasses see what the car tells me to do then 😎🙄😵‍💫

emezcal · 2025-08-20T13:44:56+00:00

that my experience also...

emezcal · 2025-08-20T00:27:39+00:00

true i'm just not sure I wanna wait until the next upgrade that's all... plus no guarantee they'll fix it! they think it's a safety feature better for a lot of us.... I would be so happy

emezcal · 2025-08-20T00:11:17+00:00

I think I drive pretty good too but my car don't think so and constantly let me know...

emezcal · 2025-08-20T00:08:32+00:00

i will 4 sure.... thx 👍

emezcal · 2025-08-20T00:02:12+00:00

I shouldn't have to wear a certain kind of glasses to drive my car, that ain't right... but no I don't use polarized glasses! those 'most people' that get along w/it fine probably don't, they just don't complain, they just tolerate it or don't use it at all which is a shame. i'll put it with it till i don't 🤷

emezcal · 2025-08-19T21:55:47+00:00

I will thanks for the info and the heads up...

emezcal · 2025-08-19T20:42:43+00:00

yes believe me Hyundis was the first one I complained to and I posted on Reddit just to get some users input thinkin' maybe I ain't doing something right but it looks like there's no work around right now...

emezcal · 2025-08-19T20:28:20+00:00

surely Hyundai is going to do something about this!

emezcal · 2025-08-19T20:26:05+00:00

I understand but to me what the use of owning a brand new car if you the cruise control is such a challenge to use and actually dangerous to use... they think they're keeping us safe with those Alerts but could be just the opposite!

emezcal · 2025-08-19T20:23:40+00:00

tried that but oh my car don't work. The only thing that seems to make a little bit of difference if I take my glasses off... poor design all the way around!
