Owner report 11491864 · 2022-11-02 (November 2, 2022)
I just purchased a 2021 Hyundai Veloster N and I’m experiencing issues with my driver side blind spot monitoring system. The blind spot warning automatically turns on when there isn’t any cars around! There are times where it doesn’t come on when a car is in my blind spot! This is a very dangerous issue to have. I rely on my cars safety features to keep me safe.

Owner report 11501187 · 2023-01-11 (January 11, 2023)
The Blind spot warning system malfunctions and the warning always triggers when a turn signal is activated, even with no vehicle in the blind spot. This occurs more often on the driver side. It also fails to detect vehicles sometimes. One would be better off turning the system off entirely as it stands.

Owner report 11504087 · 2023-01-28 (January 28, 2023)
Upon swapping out the factory tires for winter tires of the same factory size, the blind spot detection system started showing something in my blind spot all the time. The light won’t go off. It is highly unsafe to have a feature like this that you should be able to trust that doesn’t work.
