The car detects phantom blind spot alerts even after the camera update. It happens based on front and rear cameras. When the car falsely alerts it fully locks up the breaks and steering until the fault clears. It happened yesterday trying to pull out of a street side parking space. There were no oncoming cars, but the car fully alerted and locked up. It happened in rush hour traffic when trying to pull to the side for an emergency vehicle alerting and causing the car to fully lock up and delay moving aside for an emergency vehicle, and it happened trying to pull into a parking lot in a line of other vehicles also pulling into the lot (school pickup line). Every time it does this it fully alerts and locks up brakes and steering. There's no predicting when it will happen.

Backup camera is intermittent. This puts persons behind me in danger of accidental back-over. The vehicle has been reproduced and seen and confirmed by the dealer's Service Mgr. The vehicle has been turned in to the servicing Hyundai dealer on 4 occasions and they have failed each time to repair the issue. The system has been intermittent over for 5 repair attempts and a period of 5 months. It has been at an authorized Hyundai dealer for repairs for a total of over 60 days. There is no warning as to when this will occur other than the screen turns either green or blue when placed in reverse with the following: Check surrounding for your safety. No camera signal received. Please try again later."

The center infotainment display flickers then goes fully blank while driving, caused by a defective coaxial cable with undersized shield width (Hyundai TSB MC-11010978-0001). When the screen blanks, the backup camera also stops working, leaving no rear visibility when reversing. Audio and head-up display still function. The vehicle and component are available for inspection. Safety risk: the display and backup camera fail without warning during normal driving and while reversing, eliminating rear visibility and risking striking pedestrians, objects, or vehicles. Failures are triggered by heat, potholes, and braking—routine conditions—so the loss is unpredictable. The dealer reproduced and confirmed the problem, identified the TSB cable defect as root cause, and made multiple failed repairs: tightening clips, replacing the wiring harness, replacing the head unit, and performing the TSB repair. The identical symptom returned after the TSB fix. The vehicle has been inspected only by Hyundai's authorized dealer through these repeated visits—not by police, insurance, or a field engineer (field engineer involvement is being requested). No warning lamps or messages precede the failure. The first symptom is the screen flickering, immediately followed by the screen going blank and the backup camera failing. Symptoms first appeared at 10,717 miles on 07/23/25.

The rearview camera system on my vehicle intermittently and unpredictably malfunctions when shifted into reverse. Instead of displaying the live rear camera feed, the infotainment screen abruptly turns entirely green or blue, completely obscuring the rearward view. Component that failed: The rearview camera system and/or the main infotainment display module. The components are currently on the vehicle and available for inspection upon request. Safety risk: This failure severely compromises safety by eliminating critical rear visibility while backing up. The sudden loss of the camera feed creates a significant blind spot, increasing the risk of backing into a pedestrian, a moving object, or another vehicle, especially in busy parking lots or residential driveways. Dealer confirmation: Yes, this is a persistent defect that has been reproduced, confirmed, and documented by an authorized dealership service center during multiple service visits. Despite the dealer and the manufacturer being informed of this defect over two months ago, neither has been able to successfully repair the vehicle or provide a permanent fix. Inspected by others: The vehicle and the malfunctioning components have been inspected by the manufacturer’s authorized dealer technicians during multiple attempts to diagnose and repair the ongoing issue. Warning lamps/symptoms: There are no warning lamps, check engine lights, or error messages on the dashboard prior to or during the failure. The sole symptom is the immediate and spontaneous green or blue screen takeover on the center display precisely when the vehicle engages the reverse gear.
