Concerning Safety Feature that Cannot Be Truly Disabled
Ride and reliability so far the 2024 Hyundai Tucson limited receives my praise. Where it falls short and leads to potential danger, is the automatic braking for collision avoidance. I have had it activate three times, almost resulting in an accident from the unexpected braking, despite turning it off in the vehicle settings menu at the start of my drive. My local Hyundai dealership said they would attempt to turn it off, only to find out it is not allowed and that despite showing it’s turned off the future reactivates after a certain time period during vehicle operation. I now utilize continuously recording dash cams, because if this safety feature causes an accident I will pursue legal action Hyundai for making an unreliable feature mandatory. It’s very deceiving, being told you have control over the features only to find out the options you select reset after a time period without the car being turned off.
