Owner Complaints (1)
The Forward Attention Warning system in the refreshed 2025 Ioniq 5 gives constant false positives for both my wife and myself when we are driving the car. With Hyundai's HDA and lane keep active, the system keeps chiming, claiming that the driver is not looking at the road when we are. In fact, the calibration is so poor that it is a safety issue. The constant random warnings are very distracting, and sometimes the system does not recapture your eyes before timing out and hard braking the car on the highway. This is really unacceptable and a safety issue that I'm surprised Hyundai thought it could release. Lots of evidence of other owners with this problem on the Internet: [XXX] [XXX] and many others.
