Position of accelerator and brake pedals is dangerous and potentially fatal. The brake pedal is significantly higher than the accelerator, often causing the driver's foot to slip onto the accelerator. Also, braking is difficult due to pedal placement that does not allow natural movement from the accelerator to the brake pedal because the height difference causes the driver's foot to hit the side of the brake, forcing driver to panic, lift leg high, and hope he hits the brake in time to prevent a rear-end collision. The dealer confirmed that the pedals are not adjustable, rendering the entire vehicle unsafe. Other Venue drivers have told me they have the same problem but no solution.

One incident of Unintended acceleration, Other incident of deceleration to the point of stopping, gear jumped from Drive to Neutral in one incident. Acceleration by itself while driving several times. Lane Keep Assist while driving is abrupt with a lot of force, unpredictable at times. I'm at risk every time i drive this car, i cross myself, for safety and protection before i drive. The car was inspected by the dealer technician and an independent tech hired by Hyundai Corporation findings were not reproduced. No warnings, the incidents just happened/happens. There are others observations that i expressed concern about but were not taking in consideration

Aug 2021 Crash

VEHICLE ABRUPTLY TURNED TO THE RIGHT KNOCKING MY HANDS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL. VEHICLE WENT UP A CURB AND HIT A RETAINING WALL. NO OBVIOUS REASON WHY THE VEHICLE WOULD TAKE CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND OVER RIDING MY INPUT OR IF IT WAS A MECHANICAL FAILURE OF A BALL JOINT ETC, TOO MUCH DAMAGE UNDERNEATH TO VERIFY IF IT WAS BEFORE THE CRASH OR AFTER THE CRASH. IT WAS RAINING HEAVILY AT THE TIME, NOT SURE IF THAT CAUSED AN ISSUE WITH THE SENSORS OR ELECTRONICS.*DT Consumer stated while driving between 15-20 mph adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist were both not on. Vehicle suddenly turned to the right. Warning lights on the dash did not come on and consumer ended up having a flat tire. Dealer was not notified.

FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST IS NOT WORKING! I NOTICED ONLINE, OTHERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. VIDEOS ONLINE FROM HYUNDAI'S OWN SITE STATES THERE SHOULD BE 3 WARNINGS WHEN APPROACHING A MOVING OR STATIONARY CAR/OBJECT. WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THEY SAY THEN CANT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. NOT SURE HOW CAN A NON WORKING SYSTEM BE REPRODUCED. A 2020 CIVIC HAS THIS SYSTEM AND IS OVERLY SENSITIVE, THIS ONE DOES NOT EVEN WORK. WE ARE CONCERNED SINCE THE CAR IS GREAT BUT THIS SAFETY SYSTEM IS A GIMMICK.
