NHTSA Complaint #11438845 — 2020 HYUNDAI KONA ELECTRIC

When starting the vehicle, the forward collision avoidance system is automatically on, this is the default. I must take the active step of turning it off every time I begin to drive, if I do not wish to use it. The issue is that the avoidance system has several times almost CAUSED me to have an accident and thrown me forward, through sudden and hard breaking if the car thinks I am too close to the vehicle in front of me. This is why I continually turn it off. I would like to point out that I have NEVER rear ended anyone in over 40 years of driving, so rather than truly avoiding any collision, the car causes me to come very close to having an accident, as the sudden and hard braking has caused me to swerve while preparing to pass another vehicle.
