Adaptive Cruise Control problems of the 2022 Hyundai Kona

There are multiple issues with the adaptive cruise control: -when setting the cruise control speed, it can drop 10-15 mph until it kicks in. -when a car pulls in front of you with the adaptive cruise control on, it takes to long to recognize it has to slow down and has to abruptly decrease speed when it finally does. -if the adaptive cruise control does slow down because of a driver in front of you and that driver changes lanes, the adaptive cruise control can again take 10-mph drop until it kicks in. .

Cruise control on the 2022 Kona is not viable. In the standard cruising gears the cruise control is unresponsive for a long duration resulting in reductions of speed of up to 11 mph at highway speeds, in traffic. The response of the cruise control to following a car can take up to 1 minute to actually try and recover speed.

Adaptive cruise control is practical non-functional. There is a major delay when setting the cruise control speed before it actually kicks in. Speed can slow down upwards 10-15 mph below the intended set speed and take roughly 30 seconds. Once it engages its spotty with it's functionality. Depending on traffic scenarios it seems to reset the ability to re-engage cruise control and will again dropping down speed taking 15-30 seconds for before re-engaging.

The cruise control does not engage. When setting the adaptive cruise control I have had the car slow down 15-20 mph before turning the cruise control off because traffic is backing up behind me and I become a hazard on the road. I have taken it to 2 different dealerships, the one I purchased the car from and one that is closer to my home as I moved and now live in a different state from where I purchased the car. Both dealerships claimed they were not able to replicate the issue. However, every time I drive the car and try to use cruise control I have the same issue of the cruise control not engaging. The car dashboard's speed indicator is supposed to turn green and make a "ding" sound when you engage the cruise control at the posted speed limit. My car does not do this. The speed limit on the freeway here is 80mph and it will turn green and "ding" at 81mph but still not actually engage and maintain the speed. I have had numerous incidents where cars behind me honk and have to go around because I was slowing down so much. I spoke with another 2022 Kona owner and they stated that they have had the same problem and they were told the same thing by a different dealership that they bought their vehicle from.
