So the brake pedal goes randomly "Hard" when you try to press it? of something else?I bought a 23 X Line premium pkg with 15k miles on 2-1-23. 2x in a month I've had the scary as hell Emergency Hard Brake issues! It has been with the dealer on 3 trips & they held for a week but couldnt duplicate it so nothing happened. Surely I can't be the only owner scared to drive their kia because of this? Trying to find out what others are doing before it happens a third time!
My guess is that his car will sense a non-existing obstacle and perform an emergency braking.So the brake pedal goes randomly "Hard" when you try to press it? of something else?
Normally the brake pedal becoming hard to press is the result of a bad brake booster or vacuum line leak.
Hopefully you get it sorted, if you have your phone make a video of it next time it happens
Ah that kind of automated assisted "emergency braking".My guess is that his car will sense a non-existing obstacle and perform an emergency braking.
Perhaps there is something in front of the sensor or water in the connections? Maybe the classic issue of soft-connect?
No, it just HAPPENS with a visual on the dash, audible sound and the car SLAMS THE BRAKES BY ITSELF.So the brake pedal goes randomly "Hard" when you try to press it? of something else?

'something' is right! Unless the dealer can duplicate, they can't fix. Car is cleaned weekly & I wipe front & back everytime before I driveMy guess is that his car will sense a non-existing obstacle and perform an emergency braking.

Makes me think about the Driver Attention Warning System!
Ok but with the IDA alerts happen its what your describing with a sound and sometime steering and brake corrections in conjunction with the other assist functions.couldnt be further off course
Where do you get a schematic to show this connection?It does sound like a critical safety issue though ... The only thing that I could suggest is to check the connection to the camera near the mirror and make sure it's tight
I think one of the members here had a link to the tech manual? but you'll have to pay for the access though.Where do you get a schematic to show this connection?
If its simply a bad part, then yes, you could be the only one its happened to. But this forum represents a very small sample size. We had a bad part in our Tucson PHEV and the symptoms were sensor errors in the driver's door. (Anyone else experienced this?) Apparently, KIA/Hyundai service MO for fixing anything non-obvious in these cars, is to get on the phone w/KIA tech support and rely on them to suggest parts to be swapped out.Yep driving along and SCREECH! Fortunately had a friend with me the 1st time as a witness. I really think kia is giving me the runaround. Surely I can't be the ONLY owner this has happened to. Taking it to an independent mechanic next week
