Three problems related to automatic emergency braking have been reported for the 2019 Hyundai Kona. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2019 Hyundai Kona based on all problems reported for the 2019 Kona.
On multiple occasions the emergency braking system has engaged while making a lane change because the collision warning system thinks the vehicle is getting to close to the vehicle being passed. When this happens in city traffic, it has resulted in near misses from vehicles behind and in the lane for which a legal lane change is being made to avoid stopping or slowing traffic in the initial lane. The driver should always have such control. When this happens and the car is trying to be accelerated or at least maintain the current speed as the lane change is made, the brakes very aggressively counter the driver’s actions. Since this has happened more than a dozen times, including within the first few months of ownership, information in follow-on fields will use approximate most recent occurrence.
I started directing the car to the side of the road to park. As I was guiding the car to a stop, with my foot on the brake, I was about 12 ft. From the car in front of me when the car suddenly accelerated. The vehicle accelerated for approximately 10 ft. Before the anti-collision system auto-braked the car just prior to impacting the car in front of me.
Rad bearing defect. Engine needs to be replaced.
