Automatic Emergency Braking Problems of Hyundai Tucson - part 2

While driving n on hwy 75 in dallas, I was traveling at posted speed- 70- in the 2nd of 4 lanes when I was passed on either side by cars 10-15 mph faster than me. They passed almost exactly at the same time. This confused the cars auto breaking feature. The lane ahead was clear for over 100 yrds. My car braked hard and beeped a warning. There was no reason for the car to do this. This is the 3rd time the car has braked on the hwy when it was not necessary. Previously, I assumed road trip bugs on the censor caused the issue, that could not have been the cause this time. This is also a concern because the spyware in the car is sold to insurance companies apparently, as bad driving behavior which may affect my rates.

On Aug. 23rd, I was driving on the highway at 70mph when the emergency braking system deployed. The dashboard warning light flashed and the brakes were applied for approximately 3 seconds, and then the car returned to normal. This occurred 3 times in the span of 18 miles. At no time was there ever a vehicle directly in front of my car. Fortunately I wasn't being followed closely by another vehicle, or there would have been an accident. I took the car into the dealer and was told that they would run a diagnostic, which they did. They also drove the car for 3 miles. They were not able to replicate the problem, and found all codes to be normal. I feel like this car is an accident waiting to happen.

Sudden hard breaking for no reason. It's happened 3 times when in cruise control. If a car had been close behind it would have caused a wreck. I've had the vehicle just over a month.

2023 tuscon limited gas - multiple instances on vehicle forward collision warning system activating with alarms noted but no activation of emergency braking while sitting at stop light with cars in front and back that are not moving. Radio system going to show surround view and in some cases only front view even though at stop light. Biggest issue this weekend while taking a curve while merging onto another freeway the emergency braking system activated for no reason. First time occurrence. No one beside me or in front of me for some distance but did have someone behind me. It was a quick activation of the brakes and then release, I would say 1-2 second engagement. If had been longer and brought me to stop would of been an accident. I am taking the car to westlake Hyundai to investigate this week and will report. Also having dealer investigate premature driver seat excessive wear. Car has 15. 5k miles on it. I am concerned as this car is exhibiting same issues that my wife's 2018 tuscon had that ended-up being successfully lemon lawed. I am also seeing way to many similar complaints and Hyundai needs to figure out what is going on with their emergency front collision sensing system and issue a fix or recall.

While driving my 2024 Hyundai tuscon limited, 55 mph in left lane on highway, with no cars directly in front of me and only one car alongside me in the right lane, my emergency braking red warning light suddenly came on as the car abruptly braked hard for no apparent reason. Within several seconds, I regained control of the car. Luckily there wasn't a car closely following me, which thankfully probably averted a collision. I have since made an appointment with the dealer from whom I purchased the car and am awaiting the results of their inspection of the car.

While my husband was driving on the freeway and I was a passenger in the front seat, the automatic emergency braking employed while we were driving about 70mph. We have no idea why. There was no cars breaking around us, and no reason for it. There was plenty of space between us and the car in front of us. The car behind us had to swerve to the other lane to avoid rear ending us. My husband had to grab hold of the steering wheel hard with both hands as the sudden breaking made our car swerve to the side. It was terrifying. Then about 5 seconds after his happened, it happened again.

Driving down highway going about 65 miles an hour no hazards in front or behind me suddenly red flash emergency breaking lights and car slammed on brakes resolved on its own in about 3 seconds but could have caused an accident.

My Tucson is applying automatic emergency break without a reason. It happened to me 3 times in a week with my Tucson hybrid 2024 nline, it was scary and I was on freeway at 70+mph and couldn't capture the warning as it popped out for only 3 sec. I see no cars around when this happened and when I checked few forums I see this as a common problem in Hyundai vehicles in recent times and feeling scared. I was lucky enough last week as there is not vehicle behind me when breaks applied automatically.

I was coming back from the mall on the highway doing 50mph and my truck started losing power which it has done before but this time the emergency brake came on and my truck stopped in the middle of the highway on a Saturday. Thank god no one was following me close because that would have caused a bad accident. And also sometimes after I stop at a light or stop sign my brakes harden and I can’t press them down if that makes since and all my needles move back and fourth while the engine is making a noise but the car is still in drive but will not move. I have to hit the button to turn the car off and restart it and this has happened to me 3 times already. This is very frustrating and scary.

The abs, ! brake and auto hold lights activated. I took in into the Hyundai joplin, mo dealership on may 2, 2024. They could not find any thrown codes and suggested it was most likely the "ieb module" which they replaced and after doing so, the warning lights remained activated. As of may 22, 2024, they are ordering a new ieb module to install (backordered into June). This seems oddly similar to previous abs and brake problems of earlier models and makes me feel uneasy with the safety of this vehicle should they ever get it remedied.

While driving 35mph on a 3-lane street in the far left lane, a driver of a Ford f-150 was in the center lane about two car lengths ahead, decided to make a right turn onto a residential street (as if he were driving a semi). As I got closer, the forward collision warning suddenly alerted and immediately initiated emergency braking system causing all 3 passengers to be thrown forward. I hit the steering wheel before seat belt caught me. I was not even within distance and he was turning in opposite direction of my lane. There also seems to be sensitivity issues with lane keeping feature as in phoenix, there are never ending freeway construction with make-shift lanes not always marked well. On several occasions the steering wheel was jerked out of my hands because it couldn’t detect the lanes any longer. It has caused me to avoid freeways all together and has made me miss the exit off the freeway twice now. I thought this feature only activated during active cruise control, but apparently it does it regardless. Now I’m beginning to have problems with display going out at the worst times. I will be taking my Tucson to a dealer to have them deactivate both systems & advise of display. I shouldn’t have to pay for this. I’ll take over the driving, thank you very much!.

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at 25 mph for unknown reasons, he lost consciousness and crashed into a swing, curb, vehicle, fence, and pole. The contact stated the automatic braking and collision mitigation braking system failed to engage. The contact was provided with medical attention. A police report was filed. There was no reported fire. The air bags were deployed. The vehicle was towed to a car wreck auction site. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, who opened a case and informed  him the system was working as designed and only recognized people. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000. The vehicle was deemed a total loss. The VIN was not available.

Emergency breaking went on without any traffic around while driving on freeway. The car put the breaks on and took control of the steering. Lasted about 10 to 15 seconds.

While driving over 50 mph the emergency brake has initiated 3 times in a 4 month period. There are no cars in front of my vehicle and it is not the collision warning but it will flash on the dash the the emergency brake is engaged in red, it will make a warning beeping noise and the car will brake on its own.

My vehicle has been malfunctioning with the automatic emergency brake. A total of 5 times. I am driving down the road going around 50-65 mph I am the only one in my vehicle and all of the sudden it puts the emergency brake on. It’s like someone else takes over my vehicle. Fortunately I have not been rear ended. Nobody has been in front of me when this happens the first time. It is not linked to or to be confused with the collision warning, it is wholly the emergency braking system that is put on with the light stating this & throws me forward into the steering wheel. I towed my vehicle into the bakersfield Hyundai shop & they have been unable to duplicate my problem with the vehicle. I have lost all confidence in my vehicle due to it has done it a total of 5 times and I just got it in September 2023. It has been in the shop for this month. Was taken to them by tow truck on 2/7/24. Was told by tow truck driver that I would be in body bag if it happened again especially in front of a diesel truck. This is either a first of a major recall or a lemon car. Either way not wanting to get in it again. Needs to be addressed and they can’t do anything about it. I do not have any pictures of my vehicle due to it is an internal issue but I do have the paperwork from the dealership shop.

The car suddenly and unintentionally accelerated. To avoid going through the back of my garage, I turned slightly and hit the frame of the garage. It continued to accelerate for a few seconds until I managed to stop it. I then backed up. Again, the car suddenly unintentionally accelerated. I managed to stop it. I slowly drove it into the garage. I left it in the garage until having it towed to planet Hyundai. I did not want to drive it in case it accelerated on the drive to planet Hyundai. I was driving about 5 mph when I hit the frame of the garage. The car continued to accelerate. Automatic emergency breaking and forward collision warning. The vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer. The inspector or the dealer could not reproduce the problem. The vehicle can be inspected. The vehicle has been parked at planet Hyundai from 1/29/2024 to 4/15/2024 I reported the incident to Hyundai USA. I have not received any inspection reports.

I was driving on the freeway and suddenly the auto emergency breaking auto system activated. However there were no cars ahead of me, the road was completely clear. I was driving within the speed limit. Thankfully there were no cars behind me; otherwise this could've ended very badly. I pressed on the accelerator multiple times and the emergency breaking disengaged. Since I was driving I did not want to get distracted by figuring out how to disable auto assist. But the next time I got into my car I am went into the dashboard system to turn off auto emergency braking and set it only to provide warning notifications. It was not that easy to do. I had to google it and look at multiple user forums to figure out how to turn off auto emergency breaking in the dashboard.

I was driving home on christmas day 2023 in my 4 month old 2024 Hyundai Tucson hybrid. An hour into my 4 hour drive my car began making a low whump whump sound. No alerts or alarms came on my display to indicate anything was wrong. The noise was off and on for a couple miles. Suddenly my emergency brakes slammed on, my dash went red and the alarms went off. No one was in front of or around me. Had someone been behind me I would have been rear-ended. This was while I was going approximately 75-80. It could have caused a massive wreck had the freeway been congested. The noise went away after that and I made the rest of my trip without incident. The dealer said they couldn't replicate it and the analysis showed nothing was wrong so there is nothing they can do. I have found web forums and a reddit thread with numerous people complaining about the exact same issue with their newer Hyundais. So far a lemon lawyer seems to be the only recourse.

On multiple occasions, my new Hyundai Tucson randomly deployed emergency brakes while traveling on highway. This created a dangerous condition as my vehicle started braking without reason which prompted vehicle following my vehicle to slam on their brakes.

No known malfunction at this time on my vehicle - however a recall #251 has been issued with no repair available. Recall strongly recccommends parking car outside and away from structures due to possible fire which can also occur during driving. This problem has been going on with Hyundai cars for several years - and they still don't have a solution??? I called my two local dealerships and neither was aware of recall campaign 251. I asked if my abs module completely failed - what module would they replace it with? I was advised that they would probably sell me a new one costing $1900 plus labor that has the same problem!!! Hyundai is not taking this seriously - this is not being repaired in a timely manner. Please restrict them from selling anymore cars in the USA until this recall has a remedy!.

The contact owns a 2023 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving at 55 mph with the cruise control activated, the forward collision avoidance warning system activated, and the vehicle inadvertently applied the automatic braking before releasing. The contact stated no other vehicles or objects were nearby. The forward collision avoidance warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.

Sudden braking / collision warning. Approximately 10 times in reverse at a very low speed. 2 times in forward drive (once at a very low speed & once at approximately 30 mph). Dash constantly alternates between warnings for uneven roads ahead and slippery roads ahead. I took it to brookshire Hyundai service on 7/19/23. I was told that Hyundai is aware of the problem but doesn’t know how to fix it so just take my car home and check back to see if they have a fix in a month or so.

I took the car to my mechanic to get brake pads because car was pulling to the left upon braking and he informed me the abs module was bad and was not distributing brake fluid to the right front wheel. I called customer care center for Hyundai and they informed me tuscan models are not included in the abs module recall event. Yet the information printed on all Hyundai abs recalls threaten a possible fire safety concern. I want to file a complaint because the abs brake systems are all the same on all Hyundai models. Please address my safety issue ASAP.

I've had numerous issues with my vehicle, including power steering, brakes, loss of power, and more. On a few occasions, I started my vehicle and put it into drive, only to find that the power steering hadn't disengaged. This led to near collisions, such as almost hitting another vehicle while backing out of a parking spot and nearly running into a wall. I've reported these issues to Hyundai multiple times, but the dealership can't reproduce the problem, despite having recordings of the incidents. I've also experienced delayed release of the electronic e-brake and it feeling like it hadn't fully disengaged. In a recent event, with passengers in the car, the e-brake auto-engaged while driving downhill, bringing the vehicle to a halt. I had to manually disengage it and restart the vehicle to resume normal operation. I contacted Hyundai customer service again, but I'm still waiting for a formal response. Other symptoms include loss of power during acceleration, engine starting issues, stuttering, and occasional burning smell from the brakes. Despite my efforts, Hyundai hasn't provided any solutions to these problems. I drive with multiple passengers in my vehicle all the time, including children and have major concerns regarding any of these issues happening, let alone while I am driving at higher speeds or with someone else driving my vehicle.

The contact owns a 2023 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving at various speeds on several occasion, the forward collision avoidance: automatic emergency braking system activated unintendedly. The contact stated that on several occasions there were no vehicles nearby. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,500.

On 04/16/23 I got into my car and immediately after going into drive the brakes completely failed. The car continued accelerating even after releasing the accelerator and refused to stop even while pumping the brakes. Thank god I turned into a tree and missed pedestrians. The car was totaled.

The contact owns a 2023 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that on three occasions while the vehicle was in park(p), the vehicle failed to shift into the intended gear. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the rear-view sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. On another occasion, while at a car wash the rear hatch opened inadvertently. On another occasion, while driving approximately 65 mph, the emergency automatic braking display light was illuminated, and the vehicle slowed down inadvertently. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 500.

I was pulling out of a parking lot when my auto-braking activated. There was absolutely nothing anywhere around my car. I was entering a 2 lane road with zero traffic on it at that moment. When I pressed the gas pedal the brakes stayed locked. I quickly pressed the brake pedal at which time it released the brakes. I was then able to accelerate freely.

The following is an account of what happened when the SUV's brakes failed, which caused serious damage to the 2022 Hyundai Tucson (the "SUV") and also damaged two other vehicles. On February 15 in the afternoon, the SUV was traveling approximately 20-30 mph and was rolling up to a red light. There were about 6 car lengths between the SUV and the next vehicle as driver started pressing the brakes. Driver noticed the SUV wasn't slowing down so driver started pumping the brakes and still nothing. Driver even looked down to make sure he/she was pressing the right pedal and he/she was. The SUV was getting closer and closer to the vehicle in front. Driver kept trying the brakes, pumping, flooring, everything. The SUV would not slow or stop. Driver tried to avoid the car ahead and did all driver could think of to slow and not hit the car ahead but the SUV would not slow down. The collision warning came on as the SUV struck the right of car in front of it. The emergency braking did not come on. Further, the SUV still did not stop until the tire hit the concrete barrier in the road. The airbag did not deploy. In total three vehicles were damaged as the SUV hit one which pushed it into another at the light. Hyundai corporate consumer assistance was contacted and a case opened. The case manager did the initial reach out after the complaint but has failed to return any phone messages or emails about the case for close to a month. They were told where the vehicle was and consent signed so they could inspect and it remains available for them to do so. The dealership was contacted but the person spoken to said its a corporate issue. The SUV is at a body shop and will be sent to Hyundai for mechanical issues and we are hoping they will look at least then for cause. There were no issues before the accident. No previous brake issue. The SUV is badly damaged. It is available to inspect upon request. The accident could have caused driver or others serious harm.

Feel like the emegency brake is getting stuck but the dealer tells me im wrong but they never test drove it.

The automatic emergency braking has numerous false alerts, several times each day. The problem seems to be worse when a vehicle travelling the same direction in a different lane slows. The problem also appears when the Tucson's own shadow shifts directly in front of the car near sunrise and sunset when longer shadows are present. The car will brake hard though there is no risk of forward collision. This creates a danger as vehicles behind my own cannot anticipate this sudden hard braking, thus increasing the risk of a rear end collision.

Twice in the past two months, I have been driving down the highway going 70 mph with no car in close proximity to the front of me and the automatic emergency braking has activated, suddenly braking for no reason. In the first instance, there was a car in the lane to the left of me, and the second time cars on both sides of me. But in neither instance was a vehicle close to them front of my vehicle. The second time the car felt like it was going into a skid when the braking activated. I took the car to the dealer (irwin Hyundai) the first time and they told me the sensors on the car were not properly calibrated when the new car was delivered to me. When I called irwin’s today after it happened a second time, I was told the car was “functioning as designed” but they would look at it. I am scared to drive the car at this point given that the brakes randomly were activated while at high speeds and without any basis for activation.

I had multiple occasions where the car would blink lates and make screaming noises when acceleration. The vehicle never had a smooth process of stopping and going. When stopped at a light, you could press the acceleration and it idle or not speed up than rev the rmps and start to catch speed. It was very unsafe, I tried several attempts years ago at getting the vehicle maintenanced but only got rotors repaired from shaking and two other shops stating it was a recall and they could not service or fix the vehicle.

Purchased vehicle new at dealership with less than 20 miles on it. No aftermarket parts, no accidents or issues. Normal daily conditions, and constant logging on fueleconomy. Gov. 08/17/2022 at 8:15 driving 45-55 mph on major freeway with a low/moderate traffic. Roughly 5 miles from home, good road conditions and good weather. Suddenly, automatic emergency braking system engaged (and related cluster lights/alarms displayed on dash). There was not a vehicle in front of me, and nearest vehicle in front was roughly 150 ft. Away. Emergency brakes engaged so forcefully that I was unable to keep my vehicle moving forward, and vehicle came to a complete stop in the left lane of major freeway. My vehicle instantly turned off (or "died") with the radio still playing, but nothing else on. Had to place the vehicle in park, push the start button, and place the vehicle in drive, in order to continue. Obviously very unexpected. Vehicle behind me had to slam on their brakes (tires squealed) and narrowly avoided hitting my vehicle by about 36-48 inches. I'm unsure how they managed to avoid not hitting me. Unfortunately, the vehicle behind that car could not avoid the maneuver, and hit the vehicle that was directly behind me. I do not know if the other vehicle had injured individuals, as I was trying to get out of the left lanes of the 5-lane freeway, coming from a complete stop. Essentially, my vehicle caused someone to hit the vehicle that was directly behind me. I placed my hazard lights on, immediately pushed bluelink button, but after two (2) times of inability to hear their voices because of breakup, I pushed sos. Ultimately drove directly to steele south loop Hyundai and informed them of incident. Per dealership, they were unable to duplicate the problem, and found no error codes. I am not afraid to drive my car, with only 5,500 miles on it. Requested for dealership to report to you, but do not believe they took me seriously, so I am doing this. Major safety hazard.

Hello, I am writing because I have experienced mechanical issues with my car since I purchased the automobile. Since I bought the car, I began having problems with the electrical components, the automatic emergency brake engaging while driving, and the chassis. The emergency brake has engaged while driving numerous times and has consistently been unpredictable since I've owned the car. In addition, the car's handling and suspension have been problematic since purchasing the vehicle. The car has driven poorly, with many vibrations and feeling extra loose throughout my owning the car. I received a diagnostic code via my Hyundai app indicating issues related to the chassis. I have contacted Hyundai on far too many instances regarding these problems and have not gotten any resolution. I've expressed my concerns about feeling that the car was unsafe for myself and other drivers on the road. However, Hyundai has still been unresponsive, as indicated by numerous open case files where there was no followthrough. Last week, I was in a car accident with a bus. I believe the accident occurred because of the above-stated problem. Specifically, when the emergency brake unexpectantly engages as it did right before the accident. The car is now at the Hyundai dealership. A representative from the dealership contacted me about my concerns as if the car's problems were new and they were not aware of them. These problems have caused me to experience high-stress levels because of the car's unpredictability and my fear of being in an accident. I desire to receive a two-fold resolution by submitting this letter of complaint. I want to get a properly functioning automobile and to prevent anyone else from being in an accident because of the critical mechanical issues present in the 2022 Hyundai Tucson.
