Vehicle Speed Control · reported Nov 8, 2026
When driving, the speed control was not working and the vehicle was not allowing me to accelerate. This has happened three times. The first time it happened to my husband (around beginning of October 2026) while he was on surface streets. He had to pull over and fully restart the car to make it work normally. The second time (on 10/31/26) I was in the middle of driving the car and 15 minutes later I noticed that the gear shift felt off and the car stopped accelerating past 65 mph while on the highway. I had to pull over four times for the car to function normally. We took in the vehicle to the…
Electrical System · reported Oct 16, 2026
On September 28, 2026 our 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe would not accelerate while in the drive, while driving. My husband tried to accelerate and while pushing the gas pedal, it would not accelerate. On the screen it told him to pull over, and charge hybrid battery. He pulled off, let the car charge, and all indicators seemed find to drive again. Upon starting to drive again after 10mins of letting it sit and charge, and driving 15mins, the car again would not accelerate, and gave indicators to charge the battery. The vehicle was towed to the nearest Hyundai dealership. At this dealership, they…
Power Train · reported Oct 3, 2026
Driving the car in a shaded area. All lights went off on the dash telling me every warning. Car stalled out and died on the side of the road. 5th time this exact thing has happened and Hyundai dealer said nothing is wrong.
Electrical System · reported Aug 2, 2026
I keep getting the alert “Check Forward Attention Warning system”. It’s nonstop even when I’m not driving the vehicle. I have taken it in to the dealership 4 times. This started only after the most recent software update that Hyundai released. The dealership did everything they could, and contacted Hyundai who told them to replace the camera on the steering wheel (which they did). They thought that would fix the problem, and it did not. I believe this is something with the new software update since other users on forums are complaining about this exact alert. It’s sporadic, it…
Power Train · reported Jul 13, 2026
The vehicle will not accelerate past 30 mph on the highway. The fuel system will not engage, and the vehicle continues to run on hybrid mode which causes the battery to drain and acceleration to throttle. This occurs on all drive modes and fuel conditions.
