Vehicle suddenly accelerated after pulling out of store parking lot at low speed into side street behind vehicle stopped at light (less than a car length in front) while pressing hard on brake. Vehicle lurched forward incrementally during the braking process, but vehicle kept accelerating causing vehicle to hit stopped vehicle numerous times before vehicle engine was finally turned off. Driver of both vehicles could have been seriously hurt. Vehicle was driven home after this incident without incident but has only been driven out of garage and onto and off towing truck. Car has not been inspected except for damage to vehicle and is currently awaiting insurance rep inspection at vehicle repair facility. Once damage is repaired car will be towed to dealership for inspection. Because of the short distance vehicle traveled no warning lamps/messages were noted.

My car when shut off and restart will show the wrong speed. I am not the only person who has been dealing with this and you can look up 2024 hyundai sonata n line speedometer and a reddit post will come up with other people dealing with this. Hyundai is not willing to deal with this even after proving it was off

The DAW (Driver Attention Warning) system is obtrusive and a distraction to safe driving. The alert makes an audible "Beep" and the drivers display lights up with a warning to "Take a break". This alert will continue every 5 minutes if on a winding road until the car is stopped and the engine is turned off. When operating the vehicle in a safe manner keeping my eyes on the road and having the beeping and warning lights distracting me is quite the opposite of its intended purpose. In previous year models this could be turned off by the owner. This is not so with the 2024, 2025 models. This is not isolated to this vehicle but a search of the internet will find many frustrated owners all voicing their concerns. A safety alert system should not become a safety hazard. The dealer has no solution. The alert system cannot be turned off or it's sensitivity adjusted. The manufacturer has so far not responded to my complaints.

My vehicles speedometer is always reading 1-4 mph faster than the actual speed I am driving at. For example cars speedometer would read 67 but only actually going 63. I-??ve noticed it-??s always 1mph off but whenever driving the car and turning it off to say get gas and turn right back on, the speedometer will begging reading 3-4 mph faster until leaving the car off for a few hours then it would go back to only reading 1mph faster again.

I along with other people on various websites have noted that the 2024 N-Line has something wrong with the speedometer. I first noticed is on the waze that is was different. It must have something to do with the internal GPS of the car. I tested it alongside another car and it is indeed off. It happens after driving the car into a place that isn't obvious on the map. I brought the car to the dealership and they weren't able to help. I know there is a slight allowance for speedometer being off, but this is way off. For example, it can show one is going 25, while really going 20. This causes me to have to look at Waze to get proper speed. This is a real issue and if search hyundai sonate N-line speedometer being off, you can find other people talking about this issue. Please really look into this as this is a major concern that falls outside the allowed difference in speedomter and actual speed

The speedometer is not always accurate. About 75-80% of the time at highway speeds the speedometer shows 4mph higher than WAZE. While I understand this could be a WAZE issue itself, I have completed the following test. I was driving at highway speed with my wife following me in her vehicle. My speedometer is 4MPH faster than WAZE in my car, WAZE in her car and her speedometer. My WAZE, her WAZE and her speedometer all matched exactly. This is not a 1 time thing, it happens way more often than not.
