My a/c system has a strong mold/mildew smell. The dealership flushed the system and said a bunch of black mold came out. It has been 3 months and the issue is back. It can’t possibly be safe and healthy to be constantly breathing in mold spores. I have seen a ton of other owners complaining about the same issue. I definitely think the a/c drain design is faulty in some regard.

My wife and I purchased a 2024 Hyundai Tucson in June.  Since February 28, 2025 the SRS indicator lights have come on twice. Hyundai replaced the airbag twice.  In March, the emergency brake system red lights illuminated, and the car came to an abrupt stop.  Luckily, there were  no Cars behind me.  Seconds later, the car resumed, and the lights disappeared. Hyundai dealership took the car in and returned it in two hours noting they could not duplicate. Several days ago, the same thing happened with the emergency brake system. Driving at approximately 40 mph the car slammed on brakes and the dash illuminated again.  No cars behind me. The dealership returned the car once again, noting they could not duplicate.   The car has less than 8000 miles.  I won’t allow my wife to drive more than 10 miles alone.  It’s unsafe. The manual states the car is not to be driven with any of the sys indicators on and to do so would cause serious injury or damage to the car.   I will send attachments of invoices, NHTSA complaints and Hyundai manual info about unsafe condition.

As I am driving on the Garden State Parkway on sunny days and rainy days at approx 70-75 mph the Emergency Braking System notification activated on the dashboard in red, a noise activates and the car feels like it is going to stop short. This seems to occur about one and a half hours into my ride There are no cars in front of me or directly next to me. This occurs randomly and has happened seven or eight times since I leased the car in December 2024. It is very scary and the service techs at the dealership where I leased it cannot duplicate the occurrence because it is random. I feel unsafe driving the car because I am afraid at some point the car may stop on the highway. As it is now it feels like it is going to stop because it slows down.
