FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
I bought a 2025 Hyundai Tucson with adaptive cruise control. The first time I used the cruise control I was on the highway with a lot of traffic. I was in pace with the traffic then the all of a sudden the cruise control shut off. The car suddenly started to slow down and I had to do some quick maneuvering not to get into an accident. I reset it again and after a half minute or so it shut down again. There was a warning message on the dash that said it couldn't see the driver's face. I was perplexed. It happened a few more times. I noticed a camera on the steering column aimed toward me. I was wearing sunglasses and thought that maybe it couldn't see my eyes. I took the sunglasses off and it stayed on. I took them off and it worked again. I reported it to the dealer. They said there was nothing wrong and that it was a safety issue. I talked to Hyundai corporate. They said to talk to the dealer who then told me to talk to Hyundai. Back and forth it went for months. They say you can shut off the feature but when you do it still happens. I was told not to wear sunglasses while driving (on the highway in Arizona!). I am now told it's a safety feature and can't be shut off. I was told not to wear polarized sunglasses (which I don't have). I've tried several pairs and types. Nothing works. Hyundai has clearly designed what they thought would be a safety feature that is a hazard. You can't drive in glaring sun without eye protection. You can't trust the cruise to remain on if you wear eye protection including prescription sun glasses. There are a lot of complaints online and in their forum about this. Please help me.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Potential Consequences:
On 2 separate occasions, the forward collision warning system activated. On both occasions I was under control of the vehicle with my foot on the brake approaching a vehicle that had slowed while entering into a round about...I was approximately 10 feet from the car in front going about 6 mph. All of a sudden several warning indicators activated (audible and visual) and then out of nowhere, all four wheels locked and my car came to a skidding/juddering stop. I immediately looked in rear view mirror fearing I was going to get rear-ended. The vehicle in front proceeded to move on and I tried to get myself together and get moving. I was shocked that this had happened as it was totally unnecessary. I was completely in control of the vehicle prior to the activation.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The Driver Attention Warning is a dangerous feature that can't be turned off. It is constantly going off requiring that I take my eyes off the road to see why it chimed. I am a Disabled Veteran with an eye condition that requires me to wear very dark glasses in bright sunlight. The car is not drivable with my glasses on as the camera can't see my eyes. I was almost involved in a serious accident on I459. As I drove between an 18 wheeler and another SUV a red light on the dash and a message flashed that stated "Regain control of the car". The system slammed on the brakes which caused the car behind me to almost hit me at 70mph. This occurred in heavy traffic at approximately 8:30 AM. I almost lost control of my SUV.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
The forward attention warning system uses a camera on the steering column. It goes off constantly while wearing my required glasses. Hyundai nor the dealership will turn off the sensor. There are over 10,000 complaints for this issue and Hyundai will not correct the issue. The system will automatically adjust the speed and brake in the vehicle without the driver. I almost had a wreck yesterday when it shut the car down when the camera couldn’t see my eyeballs while wearing my glasses. Something needs to be done. I’m thinking of filing a lawsuit against Hyundai as a class action. Please advise if you have any suggestions. Thank you

The vehicle (a NEW 2025 Hyundai Tuscon) suffered a Shifter System Malfunction. A message came up on the electronic dashboard "Shifter System Malfunction - Service Immediately" and the car was immobile. It could not be moved (it was stuck in reverse) nor could it be shifted into neutral to be pushed out of the roadway. THIS WAS AN IMMEDIATE HAZARD. The car needed to be towed to the dealer. Base on internet search, this is a KNOWN and not infrequent issue on Hyundai drive by wire (electronic shifting) vehicles. My car and I were in imminent danger because the car was not mobile. I had just backed out of a driveway and was STUCK in the middle of the road. I am asking that NHTSA investigate this issue and if warranted require HYUNDAI to recall their vehicles to repair and/or replace the shift by wire system that is subject to such unexpected failure that puts vehicles and drivers at risk.

Defect Description:
LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
Potential Consequences:
All new Hyundais have a driver assist warning that does not function well and suggests the driver to take a coffee break every 15-20 minutes if it thinks it detects something that is inattentive. This error distracts the driver from the road and requires the driver to manually clear it with pushing buttons. This is an unnecessary distraction. Hyundai should be able to correct this with a software update, but has failed to do so for at least a handful of years.
