HYUNDAI SONATA 2024 FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
low
We were backing up and leaving a parking space when the emergency braking system overrode our driving and forced a stop. This has happened many times, once while turning at a red light (which we had the right-of-way) and our car stopped on the middle of the intersection. Another time was during a turn in a non-traffic light turn lane where timing is important. Our car was again completely stopped in the middle of the road in oncoming traffic.

HYUNDAI SONATA 2024 FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
high
While driving the dashboard headlights and all safety systems shut off for a brief period and then reset and if driving at night this leaves you completely in the dark till the system resets. All lights exterior and interior all the safety sensors, adaptive cruise control everything shuts off. Anything tied to the electrical system shuts off. The only thing that remains running is the engine.

The vehicle's emergency brack system is malfunctioning. There have been several instances where the car's emergency brack went on while no coalition was going to happen. Several instances as well happened while in reverse the emergency bracks went on without there being anything behind the vehicle.

HYUNDAI SONATA 2024 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
medium
Bluelink remote start with climate control is defective. When initiated, the vehicle starts but the climate control system comes on in the OFF state and does not apply the saved preset, including front and rear defroster settings. This defeats the intended pre-conditioning function in winter conditions, where a remote-activated defroster is a meaningful visibility/safety feature. The defect has persisted since early December 2025 and is documented widely on Hyundai's owner forums and on Reddit across multiple model lines. A recent Hyundai-issued app update removed the standalone remote stop button that owners had been using as a workaround, making the defect materially worse. Hyundai Consumer Affairs Case #[XXX] has been opened. As of this filing, no resolution or response timeline has been provided by Hyundai.
