As I am driving on the Garden State Parkway on sunny days and rainy days at approx 70-75 mph the Emergency Braking System notification activated on the dashboard in red, a noise activates and the car feels like it is going to stop short. This seems to occur about one and a half hours into my ride There are no cars in front of me or directly next to me. This occurs randomly and has happened seven or eight times since I leased the car in December 2024. It is very scary and the service techs at the dealership where I leased it cannot duplicate the occurrence because it is random. I feel unsafe driving the car because I am afraid at some point the car may stop on the highway. As it is now it feels like it is going to stop because it slows down.

Forward Collision Emergency Braking. Have had this happen on 5 different occasions. Very dangerous. The vehicle without warning slams on the emergency brakes and issues a warning. Took into dealer and they could find NO error codes and did nothing. First time this happened I thought maybe a bag or something flew up and obscured the forward facing sensors. Pulled over and checked nothing. Then 3 times it happened within 5 minutes. Pulled over and sensors looked fine no dirt or anything on the sensors. Can not drive car with this and so have been disabling the system except for a warning tone. Today it activated it again. Usually when I approach something the sensors turn yellow and then red when getting real close to an object. But today when it activated when not close to anything and driving down the road all the forward sensors activated with the warning but it was gray. (not yellow or red) Since I had it on warning only the brakes did not activate. This is very dangerous and unless you disable the automatic emergency braking could lead someone to plow into the backend of the SUV and it evidentially does not cause error codes. Yes,someone can contact me concerning this. This has happened multiple times. Intermittently.

While driving my 2024 Hyundai Tuscon Limited, 55 mph in left lane on highway, with no cars directly in front of me and only one car alongside me in the right lane, my emergency braking red warning light suddenly came on as the car abruptly braked hard for no apparent reason. Within several seconds, I regained control of the car. Luckily there wasn't a car closely following me, which thankfully probably averted a collision. I have since made an appointment with the dealer from whom I purchased the car and am awaiting the results of their inspection of the car.

My vehicle has been malfunctioning with the automatic emergency brake. A total of 5 times. I am driving down the road going around 50-65 mph I am the only one in my vehicle and all of the sudden it puts the emergency brake on. It’s like someone else takes over my vehicle. Fortunately I have not been rear ended. Nobody has been in front of me when this happens the first time. It is not linked to or to be confused with the collision warning, it is wholly the emergency braking system that is put on with the light stating this & throws me forward into the steering wheel. I towed my vehicle into the Bakersfield Hyundai shop & they have been unable to duplicate my problem with the vehicle. I have lost ALL confidence in my vehicle due to it has done it a total of 5 times and I just got it in September 2023. It has been in the shop for this month. Was taken to them by tow truck on 2/7/24. Was told by tow truck driver that I would be in body bag if it happened again especially in front of a diesel truck. This is either a first of a major recall or a Lemon car. Either way not wanting to get in it again. Needs to be addressed and they can’t do anything about it. I do not have any pictures of my vehicle due to it is an internal issue but I do have the paperwork from the dealership shop.
