Owner report 11666178 · 2025-06-10 (June 10, 2025)
I keep getting a warning that pops up saying “consider taking a break”. It’s very distracting and there’s no way to turn it off. Please give us a way!

Owner report 11671577 · 2025-07-07 (July 7, 2025)
Driver Attention Warning System. It is often incorrect, and EXTREMELY annoying, and distracting. It can not be shut off. It does not understand that wind, and potholes cause somewhat erratic driving habits, coupled with overly sensitive steering systems. Issue occurred on the Maine Turnpike, at legal speeds, and persisted for the entire journey from Gray to Houlton. Approximately EVERY five minutes, I would get an alert.

Owner report 11690220 · 2025-09-28 (September 28, 2025)
When driving there’s a feature that flashes across the screen saying consider taking a break and makes noise. This happens especially during inclement weather and is an incredible distraction that I cannot disable.

Owner report 11695773 · 2025-10-27 (October 27, 2025)
The “consider taking a break” warning pops up way too frequently and cannot be disabled. It completes the exact opposite of its intended purpose, and actually is a danger to driving, as it diverts your attention away from the road. It has no maximum warnings either - so it can divert your attention and distract you every few minutes for as long as you are driving.

Owner report 11699608 · 2025-11-15 (November 15, 2025)
The car has a "take a coffee break"warning light that dings when it comes on. It will randomly go off even if you don't leave your lane or cross a line. It's distracting and sometimes will go off if you have to veer around an object in the road making you think there's some other issue that you have missed, like a car beside you or something. Other times it will go off if you're just driving down the middle of the lane but wind is shaking the car, distracting you making you think there's an actual issue. There appears to be no way to turn this…

RE: 2025 HYUNDAI ELANTRA LIMITED AUTOMATIC BRAKE CONTROL On a recent road trip, the automatic brake system activated twice in a manner that could have put our lives at risk. The list below applies to both incidents: On a four lane interstate highway at approximately 70 mph. Wide, level median. Full daylight. Dry pavement. Unlimited visibility. Flat landscape. No objects in the median or anywhere abutting the lanes. No wind. No car for at least a mile ahead of us, none next to us. Brakes were suddenly applied by the “assist.” Brakes…
