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. Dealership diagnostics have confirmed the following historical fault codes related to module communication: •C164286, C168886, C16B902, C28B981 Related Safety Recalls: This vehicle is currently subject to Recall 265 (NHTSA 24V561000) for main floor wiring harness chafing and Recall 288 (NHTSA 25V808000) for rearview camera wiring tension. I believe the uncommanded steering and camera failures are direct results of the electrical interference or harness damage described in these active safety recalls. Safety Risk: The uncommanded steering override creates an immediate risk of a crash, especially in high-speed highway conditions where the vehicle may unexpectedly pull against the driver's intent.

This alert appears to go off on imperfect roads at seemingly random intervals when the car "thinks" you are driving improperly. The alert is abrupt, jarring, and unsafe in my option. I have no…

2024 Models appear to not allow disabling the "Consider taking a break" alert even when disabling the "Driver attention warning" feature. This alert appears to go off on imperfect roads at seemingly random intervals when the car "thinks" you are driving improperly. The alert is abrupt, jarring, and unsafe in my option. I have no idea why they would release a model where you can't disable it when in previous models you easily could. It appears this is a common problem from my research online and I don't think Hyundia has made any steps to fix this.
