There are 4 owner-reported driver assist & adas complaints for the 2022 Hyundai Sonatain NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
I purchased the car new and three times since then, the latest last week, the automatic brakes kicked in briefly for no apparent reason. I feel that if a vehicle would have been directly behind me this could very well have caused an accident. Each time it happened it was during daylight and fair weather although I can't remember if the sun was shinning. After the second time it happened I reported it to the dealer and they said they had no recalls on it and no explanation but if it happened again I should record all circumstances to investigate the cause. A couple years went by and it didn't happen again until last week. Now the warranty has expired on my car. No one has inspected my car; It has driven fine except for when the automatic braking problem occurs. There were no warning or indicator lights that I noticed at the time.
Car did not stop in time to avoid a front collision with a stopped car on a highway.
When backing up the vehicle we break when no objects are present. When stopped at a light, the vehicle will detect that cars are too close or will sense objects are around when nothing is around. The collision warning will sound at random times.
vehicle locked up the brakes by completely depressing them automatically and didn’t use ABS when sensing another vehicle stop in front of it. causing the sonata to slide into the rear of the other vehicle.
