Example complaints

“The infotainment screen on my 2024 santa fe hybrid started flickering around 3k miles and right now at around 4.5k miles, 95% of the times it stays dark and unresponsive, 5% of the time it comes on but constantly flickers and only works the other 5%. We have no way to monitor reverse camera and for a car with lots of blind spots, this has become a safety hazard. I tried the small reset button next to the right knob on the center console but no results. There's an open Reddit thread on other owners expressing the same concern. …”

“I keep getting the alert “Check Forward Attention Warning system”. It’s nonstop even when I’m not driving the vehicle. I have taken it in to the dealership 4 times. This started only after the most recent software update that Hyundai released. The dealership did everything they could, and contacted Hyundai who told them to replace the camera on the steering wheel (which they did). They thought that would fix the problem, and it did not. I believe this is something with the new software update since other users on forums are complaining about this exact alert. …”

“On September 28, 2026 our 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe would not accelerate while in the drive, while driving. My husband tried to accelerate and while pushing the gas pedal, it would not accelerate. On the screen it told him to pull over, and charge hybrid battery. He pulled off, let the car charge, and all indicators seemed find to drive again. Upon starting to drive again after 10mins of letting it sit and charge, and driving 15mins, the car again would not accelerate, and gave indicators to charge the battery. The vehicle was towed to the nearest Hyundai dealership. …”

“Incident Description: I am reporting a recurring and dangerous safety defect involving the ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) on my 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid. On multiple occasions, the vehicle has exhibited uncommanded steering input. Even when the Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system is manually disabled by the driver, the vehicle software overrides this command and re-activates the system without driver input, causing unpredictable steering behavior. System Failures & Error Codes: The vehicle intermittently displays a Check Forward Attention Warning System failure. …”

“While driving on the highway the vehicle lost power and then lowered the transmission gear and would not accelerate over 17mph regardless of pressure on accelerator. I switched from auto hybrid mode over to sport mode so the gasoline engine could be used yet the transmission would not increase power to the tires. I stopped several times and restarted with no corrections. Vehicle battery drained quickly and vehicle alarm told me to pull over to charge battery. Sat for a few minutes to charge battery, put in drive and vehicle went forward to 17-20 mph and would not go any faster. …”
