1 Assist problem

Failure Date: 02/13/2026

Incident description: I am reporting a recurring and dangerous safety defect involving the adas (advanced driver assistance systems) on my 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe hybrid. On multiple occasions, the vehicle has exhibited uncommanded steering input. Even when the lane keeping assist (lka) system is manually disabled by the driver, the vehicle software overrides this command and re-activates the system without driver input, causing unpredictable steering behavior. System failures & error codes: the vehicle intermittently displays a "check forward attention warning system" failure. Dealership diagnostics have confirmed the following historical fault codes related to module communication: •c164286, c168886, c16b902, c28b981 related safety recalls: this vehicle is currently subject to recall 265 (NHTSA 24v561000) for main floor wiring harness chafing and recall 288 (NHTSA 25v808000) for rearview camera wiring tension. I believe the uncommanded steering and camera failures are direct results of the electrical interference or harness damage described in these active safety recalls. Safety risk: the uncommanded steering override creates an immediate risk of a crash, especially in high-speed highway conditions where the vehicle may unexpectedly pull against the driver's intent.

2 Assist problem

Failure Date: 02/05/2026

When using lane following the system repeatedly warns you to pay attention, usually when in heavy traffic and after repeated warning shuts of the cruise and lane following system. When using the cruise control system the system will suggest you take a break. Both problems appear to be associated with an in cabin camera. I have driven my vehicle almost 25,000 miles and taken two cross country trips. The warning system has almost never warned me of a real problem. 99 percent of the time it is a false reading by the camera and occurs under challenging driving conditions when the last thing you need it to be told to pay attention when you truly are. During this winter I have driven more at night and the vehicle is basically un drivable because of false notifications. This has repeatedly happened in the 14 months I have owned the vehicle - the date below is just for when it happened today. I am more than willing to share details and would welcome a call.
