The backup camera in the 2020 Tucson Ultimate is blurry, creating a serious safety issue. We have taken the vehicle to the dealer repeatedly with this complaint and although the service advisor agrees, Hyundai has refused to replace or repair the camera. Note that there are many of the same complaint that can be found through a simple internet search, but apparently Hyundai refuses to acknowledge and repair the issue. Both the driver's safety and the safety of others are at risk, since it's not possible to see clearly what is behind the vehicle. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer and the dealer requested a replacement backup camera, but Hyundai declined authorization for the replacement. Federal regulation that went into effect in May 2018 requires that all new vehicles must have a backup camera. Surely the backup camera must be usable, as opposed to just existing to satisfy the legal requirement? This camera is so blurry it is barely usable. We had this exact same make and model from the 2016 model year and the backup camera was crisp and clear, so this is definitely an issue with this particular model year.

I submitted a safety issue with my car's front and rearview camera. In low light, it is impossible to see what is behind me or how far I am from the object behind me. The federal government mandates backup cameras but does that mean a manufacturer can just put any camera on car without it working properly? It is not only a problem on my car, I have looked at other 2020 hyundai tucson ultimate trim levels, and it has the same problem. We can not wait until we run over someone before someone steps in. Please review and take my complaint seriously.

I am complaining about my car's rearview camera, I can literally not see what's going on behind me in low light. The entire purpose of the camera is to promote safety so people can see what is behind them, this is not the case with my vehicle. I also have an option in the menu to have an audible warning when backing up, this is not working either. I have raised the issue with hyundai and they just tell me that is how the car is designed and there is nothing they can do. How do you design a car to have a useless back up camera? It seems like it is a general problem with the 2020 hyundai tucson and I feel it should be investigated and corrected. I have another 2020 hyundai model, and the backup camera is crystal clear. I am attaching photos of the tucson camera quality, which is worse the majority of the time, as well as the quality on another hyundai tucson

The back up camera is fuzzy and blurry. It's hard to see through the camera to use it backing up in spot that I really need it. When it's dark its worse. The back up camera does not make the warning noise it should. I have came very close to hitting 2 parked cars and 1 person while backing up. I have made 2 payments on the tucson. It's not even due for the first oil change. It has around 2,000 miles on it.

The backup camera is blurry and fuzzy during the day and even worse at night. Almost useless at night time. The camera system is supposed to be a safety feature but it is not very good when you can't make out objects and there isn't a warning noise when you are about to back up into something. I have taken to service dept at dealership 3 times now and they have installed a new camera and it is still the same as the first one. I think hyundai needs to get a much better quality camera system for the 2020 hyundai tucson ultimates. I was at walmart 3 nights ago backing out of a parking space and did not see the lady walking behind my car b/c the camera system is horrible at night time.
