1 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 04/02/2025

At times, this vehicle will refuse to go. You will get an alert in the dash that the emergency braking system has engaged. It may be a door is not completely shut, or sometimes it's just that I don't have my seat belt on. It seems to be inconsistent, because I often times put my seat belt on after I finish backing out, and am ready to go forward. If there is any kind of incident that requires a fast escape, this "feature" could cost somebody their life, or cause them to deal with a carjacking. The car needs to go when I tell it to go.

2 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 03/07/2021

I was notified in September of 2020 that there was a recall to install a fuse kit into the abs module electrical circuit and update the abs software on my vehicle. It is now March 2021 and Hyundai still does not have the parts to correct this problem. Since this is a fire hazard, I see this as an issue that they need to promptly correct. 6 months is too long to be waiting when they know there is a problem.

3 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 11/16/2020

Received recall 195 notice pertaining to electrical short in abs system and that vehicle should not be parked in garage or near any structures do to potential fire. Went to dealer for inspection, was told that part would be in and replaced in a week to ten days. Three weeks later I now have been told that Hyundaii does not have the part available. Was told part may not be available until the first quarter of 2021. This is huge dangerous recall! I do not feel safe in this car but I am stuck paying for a defective vehicle. I only have 2,100 miles on this car. It is inexcusable that Hyundai does not have this recall part. Meanwhile I have to keep paying for this dangerous brand new car monthly. I understand recalls unfortunately happen but this corporation should have the replacement parts available.
