FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
while traveling from MN to KY on the interstate on two separate occasions the vehicle suddenly applied the brakes at Highway speeds around of 80mph. There was nothing Infront of me on either occasion. Then the next day it did it again at highway speed. Then I was driving on a mountain road in the smokies and it gave me a message that the front camera was blocked, and it was turning off the safety braking etc, I stopped when I could and took pictures there was nothing blocking the camera. I had a similar problem in March of this year which is documented by Hyundai Customer service as the Dealership told me that they could do nothing to help me.

ENGINE
Upon leaving the City, I attempted to accelerate and my car did not respond. I smelled Exhaust Gas fumes faintly. I heard the warning chimes approximately 4 times, but did not see any warning light. I coasted to a stop a few hundred feet where I could get off road. I pushed the Engine off button and waited a few seconds, then I restarted the car and proceeded like it never happened. This could have caused serious problem if I had been on a freeway, Tunnel, or Bridge. I took the car to the Dealership Service Department the next day, and they checked it out with nothing showing up. My Incident seems like the faulty EGR Valve with poor solder connections: NHTSA Recall No. : 24V-308 Manufacturer Recall No. : 260, but my Vehicle was not Included in this Recall.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
When operating the vehicle, all the electrical systems will just cut power for 1-2 seconds. The infotainment, gauges, and headlights will all go completely black, speakers will stop, everything. All electrical power cuts. This happens when driving the car, day or night and happened now 6 times in the last few months. Hyundai dealers say nothing is wrong. If driving at night, it will cause no visibility of the road since the headlights and taillights turn off when this happens. Numerous people are experiencing this issue with the same model and getting told nothing is wrong. Safety is HUGELY at risk as this can cause an accident very quickly with no visibility with the car going dark. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer several times with no luck of tracking down the problem. No warning lights, fault codes, or messages are associated with this issue with the vehicle either.
