FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
Issue has happened twice now, about 2 months apart. Driving at highway speeds, 60-75 mph, no other cars around, no reason for braking or stopping, the emergency brake comes up for a few seconds, abruptly slowing the car down for no reason. Very scary as the car starts to slow down from a high speed, very jolting. I've complained to Hyundai but they claim they are not aware of the issue and there are no codes the vehicle puts out so they cant investigate further without replicating the issue, but its random and you don't know when its happening. I've looked online and it appears there are quite a bit of 2023/2024 Tucson's that are having the exact same issue I am.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
While driving, car suddenly slowed and would not accelerate as normal with accelerator depressed. A dashboard warning "check hybrid system" appeared and acceleration was unable to power car up hill. Driver forced to pull over on shoulder. After turning off and turning on vehicle, issue seemed to temporarily resolve itself. Dealer was unable to identify any faults in the car 3 days after this incident, and returned car to owner. A week later, the same issue occurred. Car would not accelerate after stop sign. When pressing accelerator, car coasted forward a a few mph. Turning off vehicle and turning on again resulted in normal performance resuming.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
This car has an option buried deep in the digital menus to limit the speed the car can go. It is impossible to accidentally turn it on. But two times now, the car has set a limit significantly under the road speed limit. For example — the car set a limit of 30 mph in a 45 mph zone, or 20 mph in a 35 mph zone. The only fix is to find a safe place to pull off the road, stop the car and restart. That clears it. I’m lucky that I was not rammed from behind given my forced way-too-slow speed.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Potential Consequences:
From the first day of purchase last June 2024, the front collision warning and avoidance system does not perform as advertised. If a vehicle cuts you off or you approach a vehicle too quickly the warning and braking do not intercede. I’ve taken the car to our local deal 3 times and they have found no trouble codes and say there is nothing they can do. I was also told by the service department manager “that they are all like that”. As a reference, we owned a 2019 Kia Sorrento for 140,000 miles and that collision avoidance system worked perfectly. I also contacted Hyundia National Service and they simply sent me back to the dealer. Lastly, I submitted a Lemon Law request that was rejected by Hyundia.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Hesitation upon accelerating from a stopped position. When pulling out from a stop into a busy intersection the vehicle hesitates for several seconds. I have almost been broadsided when attempting to pull out onto a busier roadway. The vehicle feels as though it is stalled, then suddenly lunges. Apparently this is a known feature of the Hyundai hybrid after reading that it is the top complaint. There are no codes or warning lights that appear. I feel this is a safety issue. A car should move when you put your foot on the accelerator and not just sit there for several seconds. Please, please have Hyundai resolve this issue. I have had my car to the dealer 3 times for this issue without resolution.

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.
Corrective Action:

Hyundai Motor America
Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
Defective operation of switch that controls shade panel on panoramic roof. A quick single rearward press should open the shade panel on the panoramic roof. Sometimes is does. More often than not a quick single press operates as a long-duration press and opens the shade panel *and* opens the panoramic roof. This was reported to the Hyundai mechanic at my initial warranty service and ignored. This issue was again reported to the Hyundai Service Manager at my second warranty visit and he successfully reproduced the issue during his own testing. Having the panoramic roof open unexpectedly may be a driving hazard, requiring the driver to respond to the unexpected circumstance, take their eyes off the road to reengage the control switch to be able to close the panoramic roof (what if it is inadvertently opened during a thunder shower, dust storm, or hail storm?)

Defect Description:
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
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.
