Forward collision warning is frequently inaccurately sensing collision even when no other vehicles are on the road. I am now afraid to use adaptive cruise control because I fear sudden breaking especially when merging lanes.
2015 Hyundai Sonata driver assistance complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 29 of 29, newest first, as owners wrote them.
ABS and Traction Control warning lights came on, then went out the next time I started the vehicle. They then did this a second time. On the third time, they stayed on. Brakes worked fine, and vehicle had plenty of brake fluid. Inspection at dealership revealed left rear wheel speed sensor malfunction. Research discovered that this could cause a braking problem as the issue continued. Dealership verified this is a possibility. Dealership also stated they have had a number of vehicles report this issue; doesn't seem to be related to any particular year.
I had a safety recall on my car for the Smart Junction Box. I took the car to the dealership on March 9th 2022. They updated the software that controlls the Smart Juntion Box. On March 11th 2022 at 6:45am I got in a car accident due to the automatic braking system failure. I run into a Ford F-150 at the stop light. Even the brakes at this point failed to work properly as well. I called the deslership and explained what happened to me and I was told by the technician that there is a possibility that the update of the software that runs the Smart Junction Box has impacted the Smart Cruize Control. He said there is a possibility that the Smart Cruize Control settings have been erased to default so the car needed a new settings. That was something I did not know about. My car has the option where you can choose what distance you want between your car and the car in fromt of you. It goes from one-space car to four-space cars. So according to the technician this may has been the problem.
The abs and traction lights are illuminated on dash with check bsd system warning on dashboard as well. Seems to be common problem with this car. With these lights on the abs system I disabled. Was told it was speed censor and then it was the bsd sensor in bumper. They told me it was in an accident I should file claim with insurance. Sounds like they don't want to repair something faulty . No abs working could mean crash
My scc an my ldws came on an my RPM an speedometer gauge flat lined on my way to work going 55 to 60 MPH I pull over as soon as possible because I was on a highway not passing anybody I turned off the car an waited a couple minutes thinking it was probably a glitch because I just got my engine replaced from the recall not to long ago an when I waited about 10 to 15 min my car refused to start an I couldn't take it out of gear an had 5o have it towed to the dealership
I own a 2015 hyundai sonata and I own it since beginning. All of a sudden the key features such as blind spot detection (bsd), along with anti-lock braking system (ABS) and car skidding prevention system stopped to work in my car. I contacted hyundai dealership (with my car clocking about 62,650 miles) and I was told that such important safety features are not covered under warranty. When I contacted hyundai USA corporate office, I was told that such key safety feature can go wrong any time which was such a shocking news for me and my family. My car does not detect any vehicle which is coming/passing through at high speed, and the real worst thing is that it's anti-lock braking system (ABS) and skidding warning system are not at all functioning which compromise the safety of my family. I am really concerned for the safety of my family and other people traveling in different car at the same time. My family's safety means nothing for dealership or tp hyundai corporation but they are just concerned to bill me and my family hundreds of dollars for their faulty parts/safety system at this pandemic time.
When trying to set my cruise control a message pops up on my dash saying scc conditions not met.
I was involved in an automobile accident . In which an animal was in the road I sweared and hit the curb the air bags did not deploy in the accident the auto flip over and the car a model limited w/all glass sunroof shattered causing a concussion the design of the car caused the pillars to crush along with front air bags that did not deploy the design of the roof line failedto protect the passagers from its all glass sunroof design causing serious injury note right after this accident hyundia issued multi years this model had issues with its air bag and sunroof shattering with a roll over the car rolled from impact. All glass sunroof no air bags safety around the all glass sunroof.
2015 hyundai sonata se caught on fire after being parked in apartment building parking lot on 1/12/20. Car was serviced at certified hyundai dealership repair shop on 1/10/20 for recall work and to investigate oil pressure light that would come on and off intermittently. Repair shop claimed there was an oil leak and recommended an oil change/valve cover gasket replacement (last oil change just under 5000 miles prior). Car began smelling as if something was burning later after leaving repair shop, as well as the next day, so shop was called back on 1/11/20 and message was left that it needed to be brought back in on monday morning (1/13/20). Oil pressure light did not come back on, however, nor did any other warning lights. Car was driven sparingly in the neighborhood primarily for work purposes over the weekend and parked after approx. 12 minute commute home from work on sunday evening (1/12/20). I returned a little over an hour later to discover the situation and learned that the fire dept. Had already come and gone. Immediately called police/fire dept. To find out what had happened and was informed that neighbors had called the police due to seeing it on fire about 10-15 minutes after I had parked the car. I am unclear of the exact nature of the problem, though oil appears to have been leaking (and burning - some light smoke was visible under hood on 1/11 & 1/12) after repairs, and fire is said to have started in the engine compartment. Insurance company was immediately notified as well and deemed the vehicle a total loss and towed it away for further investigation as to cause of fire on 1/14/20. Dealership where car was serviced 2 days prior is of concern since car appeared in worse condition after repairs than before, but I am uncertain of their liability in this case.
Bsd issue light is on, traction control light, ABS light. Dealer said right rear hub sensor was faulty. Had this replaced and didn't fix problem. Was charged $136 just to diagnose issue but changing the righty rear sensor hub didn't fix anything. Dealer says next repairs will be almost $500. Issues with warning lights happened during normal weather and driving conditions.
While driving down the highway the warning light for the bsd sysiem started blinking on and off. The next morning it stayed on. I took it to the dealer and after two hours the service man came in and told me they couldn't find the problem but they thought it would be behind the rear bumper. They wanted me to pay $150 to remove the rear bumper to check it. He said if it was a problem there I would most likely have to pay for the repair as it was likely my fault. I refused to do so as I felt it should be covered by the waranty. I no longer have a functional blind side detecter. To detect traffic in my driver side blind spot.
Engine light is in after recall in regards to the engine light and electric issue. The car is stopping and the gas pedal not working properly. The car starts shaking like it wants to turn off.
To note vehicle had a complete evaluation 1 week prior with no current or upcoming issues. Upon starting car "ABS light, traction light, bsd (blind side detection) light" came on. Upon driving, my bsd sensors did not operate, and engine made whistling sound upon acceleration and would not go over 40mph without the power being pulled from the engine. Also to note my car was apparently trying to be in a higher gear at 30mph (5th gear). All of this is very suspicious as the car has only been serviced at dealerships with most recent being 1 week prior. Service department seemed very poor at explaining the cause for the simultaneous malfunctions of all these systems. I do not currently feel as safe with this vehicle as I have before.
Car decellarates on it ,s on when you try to pass or speed up.cuts off.jumps.
The car in question is the limited edition with hi tech package & accident avoidance pacakage ,has been acting up & requireing updates regarding safety,sensors codes errors & failure to read & correct conditions. One of one was the brakes & front end avoidance rader/sonar equipt . Going east bound less then the road designated speed post . All of the sudden a truck across the line no lights making it almost unnoticeable . I had been driving in the sonar ,rader mode it failed to work the brakes,lights where not working correctly confused and claimed error.,turn signals impact crossing one more lane still the avodiance failed to notify those inside .how ever since the spreed was slow minor damage was recorded still waiting for adjustorto review damage. I have taken in care on many occasions complianing about this same goes with the rear end safety cameras not wooking as nenned.one partys where injured yet the sonata did get damage the other truck was old a dark redish blk color the truck was about 20-25 years however there where few street lights to view the sensors malfuntion it was confused not noticing truck driver warning of this hazard no lights ...to the car, damage front grill & bumper,trims the brake system seem to need to be check as the anti lock did not come on off popperly the braking system seems to be not funtionly needs to be address thus it might of been part of the issue also the intake maniflord was making a wheening noice and the cover of the air filter not secured making the car not ide correctly...the car was in motion traveling east bound in lane 2 .the car & truck hit & at that time everything came on warning errors failure stating fail engine ,brakes ,along with many error codes reading .take to shop problems with safelty features lane changes & a wheening noice .
Bsd system dose not work as it should be , I took it to the dealer and they clear the code and preform calibration now there is not error code but dose not preform as it should be , dose not detect any car in blind spot , it is to risky to say I do relay on this system but dosenot detect the cars
I was driving at 6:20 am on the new jersey turnpike. I was in the left lane and going approximately 70 MPH using the scc (smart cruise control). All of the sudden, the lights start flashing and the car completely turns off. Since it was before sunrise, everything was black and I couldn't even see where I was driving, not to mention that the steering wheel became locked. 10 seconds later, the care came back to "life". It did that same intro with the "system check" thing as it does when the car is started from a park position- only I was on the highway going 70 MPH. I have never heard of something so absurd, but I guarantee that if this was during rush hour or a busier time during the day- there would have been a major accident!
1st event june 10 2016 - car stopped on the fwy at speed over 65 MPH. Stepped on the gas pedal and was no power. Attempt to restart and car run rough. Car towed to dealer (tuttle click-hyundai -irvine,ca.) 2nd event july 18 2016 - driving on fwy at speeds over 65 MPH, gas pedal starts vibrating, driving become rough, clicking noise from engine when idling. File complain with dealer, dealer say it did not find anything, blame the situation to costco gas, and it says that the car requires to use different type of gas (such: chevron, shell).
In the snow, my hyundai sonata will drive fine until turning. During turning, even with minimal snow, my brakes lock up and my car slides slowly but at that point I am unable to do anything, usually making me hit a curb. This has happened twice in the last two weeks costing me $2200. I have had two cars before my hyundai sonata and haven't had issues with such a problem. The mechanic scratches his head in confusion as to how almost the exact same thing happen in such a small time frame. It is a major safety issue, I believe something with traction control or braking is wrong. Had I been a worse driver the damages could be worse.
