1 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2024

This mainly concerns the forward collision detection sensor, if that’s even what it’s actually called. My vehicle is available for testing and inspection. I was driving on an interstate, with my adaptive cruise control set to 75 mph. I was in the left of 3 lanes when got to a curve that went to the right. As I came to the beginning of the curve, all of a sudden my dash is warning me of a forward collision and the car started braking hard on its own. There is a metal guardrail that separates the 2 sides of the interstate and cars are also coming from the other direction. There wasn’t anyone behind me, thank goodness. If there had been, I can’t say for sure what would have happened, but it would not have been good. It took a hot minute for me to figure out what it was doing so I could stop it and get back up to speed. It scared me when it happened. When I go the same way without my cruise control on, it doesn’t happen. That’s how I know it has something to do with how it’s all connected. This has happened twice at 2 different places since I got the car in may of 2024. I don’t use my cruise control hardly at all now because I’m scared it’s going to suddenly brake again. I wasn’t sure what could be done about it. I put the info on the Hyundai owner surveys but nothing ever happened. I found the NHTSA completely by accident. I want someone to inspect it and try to recreate it, but it’s an awfully dangerous thing to try. Nobody has yet. It’s not like it’s a noise or a rattle. The only thing that I would consider a warning was the crash detection warning on the dash screen that flashes red. That started right about the time that the brakes were activated.

2 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2024

While traveling from mn to ky on the interstate on two separate occasions the vehicle suddenly applied the brakes at highway speeds around of 80mph. There was nothing infront of me on either occasion. Then the next day it did it again at highway speed. Then I was driving on a mountain road in the smokies and it gave me a message that the front camera was blocked, and it was turning off the safety braking etc, I stopped when I could and took pictures there was nothing blocking the camera. I had a similar problem in March of this year which is documented by Hyundai customer service as the dealership told me that they could do nothing to help me.
