2019 Hyundai Santa Fe: lane keeping assist jerks the wheel

Filed Oct 12, 2024 · Driver assistance, Steering · NC

The Forward Collision Assist would intermittently disable during driving. The Lane Keeping Assist light illuminated and would not allow me to disable it causing the vehicle to drive straight only and to make left or right turns extremely hard to turn the vehicle. This incident occurred on [XXX] and was dropped off at Johnson Hyundai in Wake Forest on that date. After a week of no contact of a diagnosis, I had to visit the dealer and was told the steering column was the issue and needed to be replaced. I contacted Hyundai America to report this issue and currently waiting on a response from their warranty to see if they will cover all or a percentage of the replacement of the steering column since my mileage is over their 100k (113k to be exact) coverage. While I appreciate their efforts, I also feel this could have resulted in a very serious incident had my daughter been driving on the highway when this occurred. Thankfully, she was picking me from home and it happened as we drove off from our house in our neighborhood. A steering column should outlast any other part(s) of a vehicle. If not, this is a huge safety concern. My [XXX] was also in the car at the time and I cannot even imagine how I would recover if something worse were to happen while he's on board. Hopefully this reporting will keep something bad from happening to others who own this type of vehicle but failed to report it. Thank you for your time.

I had a serious issue with the Santa Fe lane keeper system. I was driving on I15 in a winding portion through the Virgin River Gorge in relatively high traffic on a corner. I have used this feature many times in the past and expected a gentle nudge on the steering wheel. But unexpectedly the steering wheel turned hard left, almost causing a total loss of control. I am safe driver always checking for other drivers doing what they shouldn't, but I never expected my car to be the one making dangerous movements. If I hadn't had a firm grip on the wheel, I would have been out of control on a narrow bridge in heavy traffic. Am I the only one with this problem?

Adaptive Cruise Control Automatic Emergency Braking Blind Spot Warning Forward Collision Warning Lane Departure Warning Lane Keeping Assistance Parking Collision Warning Rear Cross Traffic Warning Every one of these lights are going off in the car. I’ve taken it twice to the Hyundai dealership. Both times they have not been able to figure out what is wrong with it even with the OPD it’s not showing any issues or fault codes a technician has even had the car for one week went through every single sensor, cable, battery, alternator fuses and didn’t come up with any results. He returned the car back to me completely baffled and unable to fix the issue. Please email at[ XXX] For photos and video which I cannot add here on this website through mobile.

Electric power steering failed after starting car and beginning drive. No power assist was present. Concurrent with this failure the instrument panel displayed warnings that Blind Spot Detection System and Lane Keeping System were not working and needed attention. Codes for the later 2 problems were sent to central computer, but no power steering error code was sent. Disconnecting battery from car nor turning car off and on had no effect on errors. Let car set idle for 3 days. Restarted car and all problems were gone. Taking car to dealer on 9/20/22 in attempt to prevent future reoccurrence.

The active lane keep assist may work intermittently based on many conditions like weather, road, light, lane marking, etc... When the lane keep assist (active mode) is engaged a green light appears on the dashboard... And when it disengages the green light just turns off... And no sound/beep warning happens... And I believe that it is a design flaw that there would be no beep/sound/alert when the lane keep assist dis engages and you still say that the driver is accountable/responsible. I would consider this flaw as a safety issue. Please note that no incident or accident happened but raising this complaint so this can be reviewed.

A car veered off in my lane and the lane keeping assist feature veered me off in another lane and crashed into another car. I had to file a claim with my insurance company and had to get the vehicle fixed.

My vehicle applies the brakes while driving on busy roads when nothing is in my path. I've almost been rear ended a few times because of it and hyundai has no resolution. Then also my vehicle has lane assist and the computer fought me steering the wheel while driving down the highway. Hyundai replaced steering components in the vehicle but don't know why it happened so they never diagnosed the problem. We have tried to go to hyundai about the issue but basically they only care about our money we pay and not our safety.

Several occasions the safety features of this 2019 hyundai santa fe deactivates. 3+ occasions the vehicles frontal collision avoidance, lane keep assist blind spot detection automatic high beam lights as well as cross traffic alert suddenly will cut off. Have taken vehicle back to dealership where purchased to be told no codes are being stored. Contacted hyundai USA several times to get a run around or the response if its not recording there is nothing wrong with the car. I have owned a 4 hyundai santa fe's and never had the issues I am having like I am with this one.I do not take my grandkids in this vehicle as im worried that if these safety features fail to work I dont want to chance their lives in a vehicle that could possibly experience more severe issues or worse. Dealing with hyundai has become a disappointment as the 2004 santa fe I own is by far more dependable than this one .
