Feel like the emegency brake is getting stuck but the dealer tells me im wrong but they never test drove it.
While driving down a busy road at 10:00 pm on new years eve, my vehicle's engine completely shut off. Immediately prior to the shut off, the vehicle's dash displayed the oil and battery lights. The vehicle's automatic emergency brake and steering wheel lock were both engaged, not allowing me (or the tow truck company) to move my vehicle out of this busy road. My car remained in this location for 3 and a half hours. The hazard lights stopped working after the first hour, making it extremely difficult to see that the vehicle was stopped. After the second hour, an officer parked behind my vehicle with their lights flashing as he said it was an extremely dangerous situation and my car was sure to be hit. He was able to get a tow truck to me before Hyundai. For hours, numerous people were forced to brake quickly/swerve into other lane to avoid hitting my car. This occurred right before an intersection, putting 4 directions of drivers at risk of collision. I stood in the rain, near my car, attempting to help direct drivers away from the lane until the police officer showed up. The vehicle is now at the dealership which confirmed engine failure, pending replacement. Possibly related, this vehicle had the catalytic convertor replaced 3 months prior. It is not yet confirmed if this contributed to the engine failure.
February 25th I took my Tucson to the Hyundai dealership for my recall to be done and everything seemed to be fine that day. Sunday February 28th I started my car and went to release the parking brake and my eps light was on and my parking brake was stuck I could not get it to come out of being engaged after messing with the button for a while and turning my car off and back on I was able to disengage and the eps light finally went off. Later on that day I was leaving work put my car in reverse and my brake pedal went all the way to the floor no breaks. I slowly drove down the road and parked at the vehicle turned it off restarted it and I have some break now but they're squishy squishy. There is also a extremely loud grind to the brakes since Sunday the 28th of February.
Sometimes the auto hold will turn orange and the button sinks in and freezes there. I cannot release it and it does not operate at all. It has happened twice since I got the one recall fixed, once before the recall. I thought the recall would fox it and the dealership thought so also but it did not solve the issue. Since the dealership has new management I have received no assistance from them. The new management has very poor customer service since the change and are still repairing the damage to my engine they said they caused, but I believe could be something to do with a lawsuit which is why they refuse to speak with me.
Driving on highways or interstates with the adaptive cruise control is when this happens. The first time I was driving on a sweeping left turn and coming up fast on a truck in the slow lane I was driving in, so I put on my blinker and made a quick lane change into the fast lane to get in front of another car in the fast lane behind me. Immediately as I was getting closer to the truck to pass it - suddenly my car put on its brakes to avoid a collision with the truck since the system was sensing the truck was in my path on the sweeping left turn. Fortunately the car behind me in the fast lane with me did not rear end me. This is just one of many times my car mistakes other cars as a danger and will brake. If I pull in behind a car that just passed me - brake! if a car is turning right and slows down at the intersection and is making the turn - even though I would never hit it -brake! this is supposed to be a safety item - but so far just is so overcautious I am surprised I have not been rear ended so far. I do not use the cruise control as much as I did when I first got the car. I turn it off now to avoid situations that cause the inadvertent braking.
