Adas Driver Monitoring Camera/sensor Problems of Hyundai Santa Fe

The contact owns a 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and taking her eyes off the road ahead, there was a warning chime and a red warning light illuminated, advising the driver to "consider taking a break". The contact stated that the safety feature is the driver monitoring: camera/sensor and the safety feature was activating while turning her head or moving her eyes from looking ahead. The contact stated that the chime was loud and was distracting while driving. The contact stated that the failure was almost constant. The contact called a local dealer and was advised that the system could not be deactivated. The dealer referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline to report the issue. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 700.

The forward attention warning device located on the steering column (camera) cannot be disengaged. This device does not allow me to wear dark or polarized sunglasses, which I need since I have eye issues. This is a safety issue for me and others, especially since I am 5' 4" and there are times when the visor doesn't cover the sun. You can 'disengage' it in the driver assistance settings but it does not stop the warnings nor does it stop it from disengaging your cruise control. If you look to the side of the vehicle, look up to pull the visor down, or wear polarized or dark sunglasses, it will also shut off your cruise control. I have taken the vehicle in to the gainesville GA Hyundai and told them about this issue but they have said that there is no fix for this. Btw -- there are a bunch of posts on reddit about this issue. This problem isn't a failure of the system, it is a design flaw. I noticed it on the day I bought the vehicle. Now, it is an annoyance to the point that I am looking at buying a new vehicle. I have only had the vehicle a year. . . . Not happy.
