VEHICLE ABRUPTLY TURNED TO THE RIGHT KNOCKING MY HANDS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL. VEHICLE WENT UP A CURB AND HIT A RETAINING WALL. NO OBVIOUS REASON WHY THE VEHICLE WOULD TAKE CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND OVER RIDING MY INPUT OR IF IT WAS A MECHANICAL FAILURE OF A BALL JOINT ETC, TOO MUCH DAMAGE UNDERNEATH TO VERIFY IF IT WAS BEFORE THE CRASH OR AFTER THE CRASH. IT WAS RAINING HEAVILY AT THE TIME, NOT SURE IF THAT CAUSED AN ISSUE WITH THE SENSORS OR ELECTRONICS.*DT Consumer stated while driving between 15-20 mph adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist were both not on. Vehicle suddenly turned to the right. Warning lights on the dash did not come on and consumer ended up having a flat tire. Dealer was not notified.

FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST IS NOT WORKING! I NOTICED ONLINE, OTHERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. VIDEOS ONLINE FROM HYUNDAI'S OWN SITE STATES THERE SHOULD BE 3 WARNINGS WHEN APPROACHING A MOVING OR STATIONARY CAR/OBJECT. WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THEY SAY THEN CANT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. NOT SURE HOW CAN A NON WORKING SYSTEM BE REPRODUCED. A 2020 CIVIC HAS THIS SYSTEM AND IS OVERLY SENSITIVE, THIS ONE DOES NOT EVEN WORK. WE ARE CONCERNED SINCE THE CAR IS GREAT BUT THIS SAFETY SYSTEM IS A GIMMICK.

I BELIEVE THAT THE LANE ASSIST FEATURE MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO COLLIDED HEAD ON WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC.. THE CAR TOOK OVER CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND INSTEAD OF NUDGING THE CAR TO THE RIGHT DURING A CURVE ON THE ROAD IT OVERPOWERED THE DRIVER AND PULLED THE CAR LEFT INTO TRAFFIC AT 40 MPH.*DT*JB
