Malfunctioning blind spot detection

This morning my car took control of itself, and as I was left turning the wheel turned itself counter clockwise and I slid into the sidewalk. I wasn’t able to control the car. I nearly hit a light pole. There were absolutely no cars on the road at this time. A blind spot collision detection message popped up to explain what the car was doing. I called Hyundai today but they cannot explain it. Does this sound safe to keep driving?

Sorry, I got a bit confused. You were turning left then the steering wheel turned counter clockwise? Does that mean it turned the wheel even more to the left? The active LKA should steer you back to your lane instead of steering you away even more.
Also, I don't think the BCA system does any steering correction but "It gently applies braking power on the tire, which is located in the opposite side of the possibly-colliding point" (as per user manual).

A key word the OP used was the roads were icy, this is in thread 10.

It would be interesting to know the year of the vehicle, the condition of the tires, If it is an AWD or FWD, and if there was any snow/ice buildup on the radar sensors or cameras. Also it would be important to know if traction control was turned on or off.

I am glad the OP is okay and was able to avoid any damage to themselves or the vehicle!

On page 5-93 in my 2020 Santa Fe Owners Manual There is a whole chapter on the Lane Keep Assist option and how to use it. Our Salesman helped us set it up on our 2020 Santa Fe before we left the lot. Are you sure about your statement that the Santa Fe doesn't have lane keep assist?

Here is a link to a sticky thread on this forum and a link to the 2019 Santa Fe owners manual see page 5-93 for what we are speaking about


Manual see page 5-93

So far, whenever Active LKA or collision avoidance systems have taken control, I have always been able to override them with my commands. I have had the collision warning pop up a few times where is beeps, displays the car symbol in the HUD, and gauges turn red. I guess I am an aggressive driver hehe :ROFLMAO:...Anyway I've always been able to turn the wheel, accelerate, etc.when the systems attempt to take over.

Yeah it was really weird and after the wheel turned itself, it locked in place. I’m eager to hear what the issue is. One of my clients had the same thing malfunction on his 2019 and the car caused a multi car accident and he broke his collarbone and 3 ribs.
