The blind spot collision warning (bscw) light comes on 10 minutes into a drive (we live in a rural area and drive two lane roads for at least 25 miles before multiple lanes). I have had the car in for service on the system twice before learning that this is built into the system. Others are having the same problem, (see the two Hyundai Kona forum links below). I've spent about $600 trying to solve a problem Kona already knows existed (see p. 5-52 of the 2021 Kona owner's manual). Of course I hadn't read the entire manual, but I feel the service technicians should have. I will attempt to put a more detailed description in the files below.

Driving down the highway going about 65 mph, I get a quick warning that flashed on my screen about the blindspot collision warning, too quick to actually read. Then the car jolts like I hit a giant pot hole, which I haven't, and the gears on my car drop and I am unable to accelerate or change gear until I pull over and turn the car off. This issue has occurred over 5 times and has been reported to Hyundai every time, with no success in getting the issue fixed and it keep occurring. Happened again today friving home on the highway, and now my check engine light is on.
The bcw tends to go on every time the vehicle is driven on a rural two way road to town, approx. Less than 20 miles. Been to dealership for the problem with the bcw ,paid for diagnostic and scanned for codes ,none apparent. The dealership did minimal calibration without realalinig the sensor. The vehicle will automatically downshift causing the vehicle lurch which is totally unsafe. This began at 6000 miles. No obstructions to sensors as per dealer inspection. A brand new SUV awd never been offroad ,or any collision whatsoever. Reading forums leads me to believe it occures quite often to this particular vehicle. I called the local global representative and have a case number of 21601680, I thank you for your prompt response to this issue.
1: car stopped abruptly without vehicle lights or warnings , stopped while driving 39 mph without any warning. 2: car engine smoking -fire d/y motor seize and oil leaking 3: motor seized piston bore hole in engine block appears to be of concern with other vehicles same year same model unsafe vehicle.
I’ve had this car since end of September 2021. The blind spot monitor on the right side of the vehicle lights up and beeps at random times, even when there is nothing in the blind spot itself. Happens mostly while driving on the highway.
After I had the car for about 10 months, the front collision warning system light came on while I was driving 65mph. There was a huge jolt, as if I'd hit something large and metal, and the engine revved as if stuck. I pulled over and found nothing in the road. It was terrifying, and I can't imagine it's safe to have this keep happening. This has happened numerous times now, at different speeds and in all types of weather, and sometimes accompanied by the blind spot collision warning system light. The dealership has kept my car many times, trying to replicate the problem, which they did-once. They replaced the camera and tcu. The car worked fine for a while, but the problem returned, and again, the dealership could not replicate or fix it. I have seen this problem mentioned on Hyundai forums, and it seems we're all having the same experiences with dealerships finding and fixing the issue. I turn the fcw system off every time I start the car, but now the bscw (which I have also turned off) is coming on and jolting the car. Both warning systems have done this too many times to count at this point. I can't afford a new car and am scared to drive my Kona, but don't have a choice. This is not right and I do not feel safe in this car.
The contact owns a 2018 Hyundai Kona. The contact stated that "blind spot has been disabled" illuminated on the instrument panel. Shortly after, the blind spot monitors turned off and failed to work. The contact had to turn the vehicle on and off for the blind spot monitors to work properly again. The vehicle was taken to kunes country Hyundai of quincy (207 n 36th st, quincy, IL 62301) where it was determined that there was a glitch, but the dealer was unable to repair the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 1,100. Off then on. Consumer stated safety feature of blind spot technology should be on at all times but "blind-spot" feature was disabled.
