I purchased the car new and three times since then, the latest last week, the automatic brakes kicked in briefly for no apparent reason. I feel that if a vehicle would have been directly behind me this could very well have caused an accident. Each time it happened it was during daylight and fair weather although I can't remember if the sun was shinning. After the second time it happened I reported it to the dealer and they said they had no recalls on it and no explanation but if it happened again I should record all circumstances to investigate the cause. A couple years went by and it didn't happen again until last week. Now the warranty has expired on my car. No one has inspected my car; it has driven fine except for when the automatic braking problem occurs. There were no warning or indicator lights that I noticed at the time.
The full stereo system with cameras and most sensors and the car is currently at the dealership as 03/09 @11:00 am and I took it to them as well so that they can repair the other pending recall I have at the moment and they stated that it was a " point to point check recall " and that they would change it whether it would need to be or not and I raised concerns about another possible recall on the car and if they could check it out which is my stereo system they tried to charge me almost $200 and " the symptoms or warnings " was that sometimes it would happen but instead of it going out completely I was able to troubleshoot it by pressing on the little button under the volume button.
I have had this car for 2 years (13k miles). . . . Intermittently the car stops short when backing up. This has happened at least 15-20 times, backing out of my garage. It also happened twice backing out of a parking space. The most recent incident was driving on the hwy at 70mph and the emergency brake warning light came on causing the car to swerve, stop for a few seconds. Needless to say this was very scary. I am attaching a link with the same or similar complaints: [xxx] I have been in touch with corporate. The car is currently at the dealer ship and has been for 2 weeks. They are trying to duplicate the problem, but it is so intermittent, I doubt they will find anything. I was told they have to keep it for 30 days, then. . . . I don't know what the next step is. I love this car, but no longer feel safe in it. Please advise how you can help. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
Car did not stop in time to avoid a front collision with a stopped car on a highway.
Vehicle locked up the brakes by completely depressing them automatically and didn’t use abs when sensing another vehicle stop in front of it. Causing the Sonata to slide into the rear of the other vehicle.
