Forward collision avoidance

16 reports2 crashes
“On Monday, 09/14/2026 at approximately 10:15am Mountain Time Utah State Route 36, North-bound. -- I was driving straight, approximately 60mph on dry road on a sunny day. There was no other traffic on the road either ahead, alongside, or behind me and no oncomming traffic. The Automatic Emergency Braking engaged, the emergency braking indicator flashed on the dashboard and the car slowed way down and then it just stopped engaging and the car rolled freely. I believe that the forward collision warning also sounded. NOTE-- this is not the first time this has happened to me. It has happened at least 3 to 4 times over the past two years since we leased the vehicle. I have asked the dealership service department to look at it, but they state that they can find no indication of any problem and that they have been unable to reproduce the event.”

“I am filing a safety complaint regarding my 2024 Hyundai Tucson N Line Hybrid (VIN: [XXX]), purchased as a Hyundai Certified Pre-Owned vehicle from Balise Hyundai in XXX. Since purchasing the vehicle, I have experienced a persistent grinding noise that continued despite multiple dealership visits. Initially, I was told a pebble lodged in the rotor was causing the noise. Further evaluation by the dealership’s General Manager and Service Manager led to additional investigation and proposed repairs. On XXX, I was informed that a factory-welded nut was not attached to anything on the vehicle’s floor support structure. The dealership advised that the vehicle was unsafe to drive and had to be moved to the collision department for further assessment. On XXX, the Service Manager informed me that the proposed repair would require removal and replacement of the entire floor pan. This raises serious concerns about a potential manufacturing or assembly defect in a structural component of the vehicle. My primary safety concerns include: An apparent factory-related defect involving an unattached welded nut on the floor support structure. The dealership’s determination that…”

Structure

3 reports
“While driving at a freeway speed of 70mph, my panoramic sunroof basically exploded raining glass everywhere. It sounded like a shotgun blast. There was zero indication of an outside object hitting it. The damage was so extensive it would have to have taken a fairly large object to cause this. It also seemed to have blown the glass outward, which indicates to me that there was some faulty component in the sunroof itself. I've read and watched other people who've had similar incidents”
