1 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 08/02/2026

My abs system started smoking while the vehicle was in the off position. Police and fire department showed up. Police report number is 2026151090. I was called outside from the establishment and the emergency services were waiting on me. Corporate is now trying to get me to pay the tow out of pocket. I called the ntsha holiness but was unable to mention this issue about the towing. Also corporate has stated they will likely not service the vehicle.

2 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 04/21/2022

Abs hecu unit has failed, thus posing a safety risk. All brake lights (abs and warming brake lights), in addition to check engine light are illuminated on dash. Faulty relay recall was taken care of in timely manner (recall 188), but now fires are starting in other vehicles due to failed hecu unit (which dealership and independent mechanic has confirmed that I have). More recalls for earlier Hyundai years need to be included in recall 218 or a new recall implemented to avoid cars catching fire due to failed hecu (my car has not caught fire as of the time of this report).
