The driver attention warning feature is defective and often requires you to take your eyes off the road and stare at the DAW sensor in order to eliminate the car's constant "attention" warnings. Even while looking straight ahead while driving, the DAW is often erroneous and will disengage safety features (e.g., lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, etc.) because the DAW erroneously thinks that the driver is not paying attention. As another example, if you are driving uphill/downhill or on a curved road and are looking at the road ahead of you at a slight angle, the DAW will erroneously report that the driver isn't paying attention. The system will then disable the cruise control and lane keeping assist, creating a hazardous situation. Alternatively, the driver can look DOWN (not looking at the road) at the DAW sensor and stare at it until the car reacts. This takes your eyes off of the road and creates hazardous situations. As someone who wears prescription glasses, the problem is even worse. I cannot set a comfortable seat/steering wheel configuration where the DAW can "see" through my prescription glasses. If I want to drive in my normal position, I either need to take my glasses off or turn off the safety features (e.g. lane keeping assist and adaptive cruise control) in order to drive. Hyundai is well aware of this problem and it exists across much of the Hyundai and Kia platforms. Dealerships say that the car is working as intended. In reality, the defective DAW system creates more risk and contributes to a significantly less safe ride (as I'm constantly taking my eyes off the road to stare at the darn sensor).

ICCU failed with a pop sound in the evening. Next morning, on my way to the dealership, car started fine, alerted me about the “check electric vehicle system”, but drove fine for about a mile. Then the car came to a crawl mode, refusing to go over 20mph and stopped completely with out any indication. Luckily, I was in a quiet neighborhood and was able to steer the car to the curb safely.

When I started the car at 10pm , a loud pop was heard and warning lights on the dashboard indicated an electrical problem. I turned off the radio and anything extra that could use up power; during the next 45 minutes I took surface streets instead of the freeway to drive 22 miles back home and speed was limited to 40 mph. The next day the same warning lights were on the dashboard and speed was limited to 20mph; car lost power after 1 block. Car was towed to the dealer, where an ICCU failure and blown fuse in the engine was diagnosed by dealership and replaced.

ICCU failure. Car slowed ona busy street. Inspected by dealership service and confirmed ICCU failure. The pop sound and then check electrical system warnings.

While using Highway Driving Assist/Lane Following Assist on Interstate highways, lane markings frequently disappear on overpasses and in construction areas. When this occurs, lane-centering assistance silently disengages. The only indication is a small dashboard icon changing color. There is no audible warning, steering wheel vibration, or other prominent alert. The vehicle may begin drifting before the driver realizes steering assistance has been lost. Observed repeatedly on Massachusetts highways, including I-495 and I-290. This creates an unexpected and serious safety issue, potentially resulting in an accident. I had this happen during a recent trip, and multiple times the car wandered towards an adjacent lane. It caused me to lose confidence in the system, and to maintain constant vigilance, gripping the wheel tightly at all times. Had I not done so, I’m sure I would have had an incident. Who watches the dashboard all the time? The driver's eyes are supposed to be on the road ahead, especially when approaching an overpass. Had they incorporated an audible or tactile alert, this would have greatly increased the driver’s awareness and potentially avoid a crash. Since the system obviously knows when it has disengaged, it would be a simple matter to implement this. My preference would be steering wheel vibration.
