2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Cruise Control Problems

When in cruise control, the driver attention warning message appears regardless of where my eyes might be, whether I am wearing glasses or sunglasses or not, with nothing obstucting the sensor, with the steering wheel adjusted higher or lower. I have since May of 2025 tried to figure out how to get it to work properly to no avail. The warning continues to appear with an alarm ubntil it turns the motor off completely, even at highway speed causing an extremely dangerous situation. Additionally, I depend on the cruise control to help me maintain a safe, legal speed. This malfunction, rather than being a safety feature, is a distraction to safe driving. It CAUSES distraction, rather than provide safety. Hyundai is fully aware of this deficiency, yet has not addressed it I know that Many have experienced this smae problem. It is time for a recall to remedy this problem.

1. Component/System: One-pedal driving / regenerative braking (i-Pedal mode). Vehicle is available for inspecti On three separate occasions since leasing the vehicle in April, 2025, the vehicle failed to decelerate when i-Pedal mode was active and I fully released the accelerator pedal. Instead of slowing immediately as expected, the car continued maintaining speed for a few seconds before eventually reducing speed. In all instances, the accelerator pedal returned fully to its default position, and my foot was completely off the pedal. My foot was hovering over the brake and prepared to brake manually. This unexpected continued acceleration created a safety risk, particularly in situations where I anticipated immediate slowing. Safety Risk: This behavior increases the risk of rear-end collisions or reduced reaction time in traffic. It causes uncertainty in vehicle response and requires sudden manual braking when the system fails to operate correctly. Inspection/Reproduction: The dealership has inspected the vehicle and has denied existence of any issues. Warning Lamps/Messages: No warning lamps or messages appeared before or during the events. ⸻ 2. Component/System: Blind spot monitoring / driver assistance sensors Since acquiring the vehicle, the blind spot monitoring system routinely activates warnings when vehicles are more than one lane away, not in the adjacent lane. This results in frequent false warnings, especially on multi-lane highways. Safety Risk: The false alerts cause distraction and hesitation during lane changes. The system startles the driver and forces additional visual checks beyond normal safe driving practice, increasing cognitive load and reducing confidence in the system’s accuracy. Inspection/Reproduction: This behavior is frequent and occasionally reproducible. Warning Lamps/Messages: System behaves as if detecting vehicles in blind spot even when lanes are clear.
