The Driver Attention Warning continues to go off shutting the cruise control off. This happens continuously and is a safety issue when driving in traffic and the vehicle suddenly decelerates. This causes traffic behind you to almost reared you because the vehicle decelerates so quickly. Hyundai suggests to move seat, not to wear glasses and other options that in themselves are additional safety concerns as seat positioning and glasses are needed for driving. So far my car has had the sensor located on top of the steering column shimmed up, and wiring harness replaced all to no satisfactory conclusion. Hyundai is aware of the issue, but has no solution to the issue. I’ve been in a loaner for almost 2 months while they string me along looking for a solution. Something needs to be done to fix this safety concern.

I purchased a brand new 2025 Hyundai Tuscan and with 984 miles I had an issue which first started when reversing the SUV into my garage. December 9th: When first starting the vehicle, all warning lights came on the dash. The ABS stating an issue with the braking system. I experienced a dead pedal and no power steering. After restarting the car all the lights went off and the car returned to normal. Code: DTC C165686 and DTC C162587 December 10th Error: Check driver assistance system While driving the vehicle which had no errors on start, the error came up again but this time power steering was available and the brake pedal appeared to be working. Originally, the Hyundai dealer would not be able to assist until the following week but after calling them and expressing safety concerns they immediately took the car and put me in a loaner. Code: DTC C165686 and DTC C162587 It’s Jan 3 2025 and the vehicle has been waiting for a replacement hybrid battery. The manufacturer told the dealership weeks ago that the error is due to a bad hybrid battery.
