Driving the car in a shaded area. All lights went off on the dash telling me every warning. Car stalled out and died on the side of the road. 5th time this exact thing has happened and Hyundai dealer said nothing is wrong.

NHTSA ODI report, 2026-10-03

I keep getting the alert âCheck Forward Attention Warning systemâ. Itâs nonstop even when Iâm not driving the vehicle. I have taken it in to the dealership 4 times.

NHTSA ODI report, 2026-08-02

The vehicle will not accelerate past 30 mph on the highway. The fuel system will not engage, and the vehicle continues to run on hybrid mode which causes the battery to drain and acceleration to throttle.

If I wear dark sunglasses, the forward collision avoidance turns off while using cruise control. If I wear lighter sunglasses, it is fine. Unfortunately, I have to wear darker sunglasses due to previous eye surgery.
