Was coming off an exit on the interstate and started slowing down. My brakes act like they didn’t want to work. Grinding and the pedal was twitching under my foot. The car stopped thankfully, but then all linda of lights came on the my dash and will not go off. And 3 warning come up!.
The automatic emergency braking system activated without there being any vehicle in front. This was on a highway at 60 mph. It lightly braked for a couple of seconds with the warning light flashing and beeping as well. There was no prior indication prior. I will be taking vehicle to dealer.
The automatic emergency braking has engaged 6 times while backing up and there has never been anything behind the vehicle.

My sante fe has shifted out of park and rolled away from me on 2 occasions. The first time I was about 30 feet away when my son and husband started screaming for me. The car we rolling across the parking lot. I tried to jump in and hit the brake but was unsuccessful and we slammed into a flag pole. The dealer ran a code rrader on it and there was no codes so they denied responsibility. Basically called me a liar 10/23 it happened again in mcdonald's drive thru the window lady witnessed it. I got out to. Get my debit card and as I was leaning down the car rolled out of park snd started coasting away from me. I again, contacted my Hyundai who assigned another case manager. This cse manager promised to. Reimburse me for a rental I paid for the first time the car rolled away from me. The case worker had told me she set up an appointment at another local dealer and they would have a rental waiting on me the next morning I asked her to call amd confirm the appt and rental and to call me back never heard from her again after numerous calls and emails I recieved an email stating she could no longer assist me since I had obtained legal counsel. Complete lie I never informed them that I had retained counsel. I merely asked if I needed one. . This was their way of brushing me off for the 2nd time myhyundai has record of me calling trying to gather a resolution at least 30 xs. I have contacted the attorney generalz office who reached out to my dealer and my dealer told them they followed protocol and found no issue that would be a warranty issue of course they aren't wanting to admit that this is issue because this one case could cost millions in recalls. Now there are more and more people that have had the same experience and I fear there will be death before this is addressed. Please help !!.
While driving the car in cruse control the speedometer would jump up and down rapidly making the car accelerate and break. The warning lights come on saying the forward, side back sensors are off. At times stepping on the breaks a plastic bottle crunch sound will occur but the breaks were fine. I scheduled a repair but was still driving the car. Then I approached an intersection and the light was turning green to yellow so I stepped on the breaks only to have the pedal go to the floor without resistance and no breaks at all. I had to drive through a red light endangering myself and others at that intersection. I pulled into a parking lot and the breaks were working again. Car has been towed to the west herr Hyundai dealer on transit rd williamsville, NY for repairs.
