I have had while driving slowly (parking lot speeds) over uneven surfaces like cobblestones the car has trouble breaking, it lurches forward, brakes make terrible noise, and car vibrates. This has occurred at least 3 times. It is unsafe if I would be unable to stop as needed in time.

I was ata yield sign and the car in front of me started to go and had to slam on their brakes because a car ran a stop sign. I had started rolling forward and hit my brakes when I noticed she had hit her brakes. My vehicle started to vibrate and keep going. It did nit stop right away it way like it was just skiding. My vehicle has done this before but this time it did not stop quick enough to avoid hitting the vehicle in front t of me I have notified Hyundai of the issue and after doing research I have found Hyundai is awRe of an issue with the 2023, 2024 and 2025 models. There is also a class action law suit for thus same reason. I am waiting to hear back from Hyundai.

Vehicle Safety Concerns and Lack of Dealer Support As we approach a stop going about 20 mph and begin to apply the brakes as we pass over some slightly bumpy ground. The car lurches forward repeatedly as the brakes were applied, bouncing forward in spurts rather than stopping and taking twice as long to stop than it should have; this has pushed us into intersections. We've brought the vehicle in several times to no avail as the dealership says nothing is wrong. We contacted Hyundai Corporation to discuss this issue and determine any other feasible solution but unfortunately they were not able to assist in a timely manner. The braking problem has persisted. The vehicle exhibits issues when driving over uneven roads or on gravel—the brakes engage improperly, causing the vehicle to skid before ultimately stopping. This results in a dangerous situation where the car stops much farther than intended, posing a significant risk of collision, particularly at intersections. We have a [XXX] and we bought this brand new vehicle for the sole purpose of it being reliable and safe and it has been nothing but trouble. Please help us with this, we are at a loss of what to do. This is going to kill someone someday. You can also find others with similar situations online and it appears there is a class action lawsuit that has been filed that demonstrates the same issue we are having.

There’s an issue with the anti-lock braking system when you drive over a bumpy surface like large gravel that causes the anti-lock system to kick in and apply pulsed braking resulting in the car having dangerously long stopping distances. I’ve had this occur twice. The first time was going downhill on a driveway with large gravel. I tried to apply the brakes to sow down, the anti-lock braking kicked in and just kept repeatedly cycling. If I would have needed to come to a stop, it wouldn’t have happened. The second time it occurred could have resulted in an accident. I was leaving a paved parking lot, preparing to pull out onto a busy highway. When I was preparing to stop at a traffic signal at the end of the parking lot, the lot was bumpy and the ABS kicked in. It kept pulsing and the car didn’t stop until I was past the terrific signal and I was partially into the road before it came to a stop. The ABS system needs recalled.

Braking on rough road before cross street engaged what felt like anti-lock. Brake pedal vibrated under foot, went all the way to the floor and car failed to stop as expected. Has to release brake completely and reengage to stop. Was quick enough to do do before moving into oncoming traffic.

I was in stop and go traffic on a side road. I was traveling about 5-15 mph on an uneven road surface. The traffic stopped in front of me and I applied my brakes. I heard the grinding sound of the anti-lock brakes but my car did not stop. My foot was to the ground on the brake and it didn’t even slow down. I ended up hitting the car in front of me. This has happened before but I never hit anything before. It happens all of the time on uneven road surfaces such as man hole covered, rail road crossings, or construction or potholes.
