You can turn it off in the settings. But I leave mine on and I've never had this. It sounds like something is faulty or misaligned.

It could be the car is telling you that you are not driving safely. For example , if you are changing lanes to pass, you will get a beep if you don't signal first. That is the system reading your vehicle crossing a lane line. If you get too close to the vehicle in front of you before you pass, you will also get a beep or an application of the brakes if you have it set to do so. You also have to be aware that if you pass someone while using the smart cruise control, your vehicle may accelerate automatically as you pass. Again, every time you cross a lane without signaling first you will get a warning. To deactivate the system I believe you long press the lane keep assist button on your steering wheel. I also believe it reactivates every time you restart.My Tucson Limited is 3 months old and we took it on the freeway for the first time.
As we pass vehicles and when it is directly beside the Forward collision warning beeps, it applies the brakes momentarily and displays a warning. This a scary thing at 70 mph. Does this almost everytime so we tense up as we pass, dangerous is an understatement. Is the forward radar in the bumper sensors or in the wind shield. I duct taped over the right front and right sensors. I need to get back on the freeway and pass a vehicle.
I really don't want to let the dealer touch it, I just want the false warnings to stop.
Has anyone had this or know where the system get its signal?
Thanks
If your car is defective that's one thing, but still the answer is going to a Dealer. But your assertion this car has many electronic issues I do not see born out in the forums or certainly in my daily use. In most of the cases it turns out the person did not understand how that particular thing works. That applies to me and locking the car with touching the door handle, reading posts here I now understand how to do it correctly - and it's not an electronic problem. Of course that does not mean there are no problems.Let's not throw insults, I just posted to see if any others had the same issues. I don't know more than anyone else but I can read. These new Tucsons seem to have many electronic issues, more than any of the last 65 new cars I have purchased.
I have belong to many car forums and I think that much can be learned from fellow owners. This one is not a car enthusiast forum and most here bought their Hyundai for normal ground transportation so I dont expect much in the way of technical advice.
This vehicle has a problem and I hate to have the dealer touch it as there is not much knowledge base in the shops now days. No code, no fix. I am trying to isolate the problem before I take to them. Or maybe just trade it. Not sure with all these other folks having failures.
I have read here that whenever they replace a windshield, the sensors mounted to it need to be recalibrated. It might be worth a try to at least allow the dealer to get his hands on your car for that.The sensor is plug in and fuctioning or I would get warnings. I removed the FWD Radar fuse and there were multiple warnings on the instruction panel. Replaced it.
OK
With Adaptive Cruise on or off, when passing a slower car, on their left side and my right, and when mid way through the pass with vehicle next mine (side mirror to side mirror )the warning bells go on , warnings on dash saying "Forward collision alert" in red and the brakes are momentarily applied. If cruise is on it also disconnects. The system is detecting something in front of my vehicle that not there. If I move way out to the left it sometime doesn't set off the warnings.
I wasn't sure which sensor was used for the Fwd collision System so thats why I taped over the right front sensor with duct tape. It gave the false warning again today so it must be the sensor/camera in the upper part the windshield. It will still activate the warnings and the brakes even with system turn totally off in the setup.
Plus if you depower( shutoff) the vehicle the system defaults to "on" again.
The Tuscon is really a nice car, comfortable, and seems well put together. I hate to have to replace it. I have KIA Stinger GT2 it has been flawless for over 2 years and 14k miles so I know they make good vehicles.
My wife doesn't want to drive it cause it scares her so much. I told just don't try and pass any cars.
Sad.
It is not clear from anywhere in all exchanges above ( unless I missed it) , if at any point, you actually turned OFF FSA ( under "Setup"- "Vehicle" - "Driver Assistance" - "Forward Safety" - and set it to "OFF")?The sensor is plug in and fuctioning or I would get warnings. I removed the FWD Radar fuse and there were multiple warnings on the instruction panel. Replaced it.

Since I'm new and absolutely can not figure out how to add a question to this web site I've chosen to reply to this - first one to come up. Sorry the topic is not related. I have no idea how to get started here. And all this is to simply state I wonder the percentage of new owners of the Tucson who find it so and unimaginably complicated to understand the two manuals that, like me, they have just given up as I have? Then, I come to the Tucson forum and it is even more complicated and upsetting..... how to even enter a subject. THIS IS MY LAST POST. The irony is, that I'm a retired SOFTWARE ANALYST who did the job someone else did to create the manuals!!! How atrocious they are written. Too bad, really, that I have not been able to enjoy my new Tucson (Oct. 2021 purchase) because EVERYTHING IS UNBERABLY DIFFICULT TO GET A GRASP OF. On top of that, the settings I've entered revert OFTEN by themselves It's so miserable. My previous Sonata was a dream. Wish I had it back. This 4 cylinders gets the exact same gasileagey 2008 8 cylinders Sonata did and it drove smoother. My Tucson hops all over the road and THAT is unsettling.It could be the car is telling you that you are not driving safely.
