Awful “safety” features that make the vehicle more dangerous
This car has caused severe pain and anxiety due to its “safety” driver “assist” features. The fact the car has the ability to take control away from me SLAMMING breaks unnecessarily, is absolute trash. I hate it with a burning passion. These control features have been the cause for close encounters, not preventing them. These control features have caused mild whiplash. And these control features are beyond inconvenient.
I love the idea of the car giving me ALERTS about what is around me. But I HATE that it takes control away from me. And these fact that when the control is turned off, the alerts get turned off too is beyond stupid in the programming.
This car has unnecessarily slammed breaks on me with the forward “collision alert” on multiple occasions. Once in a left turn lane because I guess the car in front of me wasn’t pulling away fast enough, the car’s computer thought I was too stupid to know how to control my own vehicle. Once when I was the only vehicle on the road in a three lane side street. There was no one to my sides or in front of me and the collision alert beeped like crazy for absolutely no reason before slamming breaks again for no reason. Only a few minutes after that I was on the freeway traveling at 65mph. I was in the far right lane, there was no one to my left, and the car in front of me was way far away. I was nowhere near them when the collision alert beeped like crazy and my car slammed my breaks. Thank God there was no one behind me. I got an instant headache and had fear for potential whiplash caused by this obnoxious and unnecessary vehicle control feature. Thankfully I had no lasting neck pain but the insane anxiety this feature causes me when driving infuriates me. I love driving and the fact I’m getting anxiety because a stupid programmed feature is ridiculous.
Another super frustrating time, I was backing out of a parking spot, and the car sensed another car coming so it alerted me, then I watched that car pull into the parking spot next to me. But the alert kept going despite there being no car anymore, so I started backing up again and it freaking slammed breaks for NO REASON. I had to put the car back into drive and then into reverse again to get that alert to shut up and take back control of my car.
I like the idea of having alerts/warnings. But DO NOT take control away from me. If I am going to get into an accident, let it be my own fault and not because your computer program has decided I’m too stupid to drive myself and takes that control away from me. Let me turn the control off without it removing the warning alerts.
I have loved this car until those cursed control features started rearing their ugly heads. I have serious beef with my car now and I am about ready to trade it in and go with a different dealer, if Hyundai does not fix its programming.
Cosmetically, I’m not a fan of all the hangover areas in the exterior. Such as the back windshield or all the nooks and crannies in the front. Makes it a pain to clean. On the interior, I don’t like the single tiny door cup holder on the back doors, just make it a normal door pocket like the front doors have…. I also don’t like how much smaller the cupholders are on the center back fold down…..
