On the 2022-2025 Hyundai Sonata, owners have reported the Forward Safety system, Smart Cruise Control, and related ADAS features becoming unavailable with warning messages such as front radar blocked or forward safety system disabled. In some cases the problem appears after minor front-end work, bumper cover replacement, windshield service, or without obvious damage, pointing to radar alignment, sensor contamination, bracket movement, or module faults. This is well documented through owner complaints and Hyundai service information covering ADAS inspection and calibration procedures.
Inspect the front radar area for impact damage, loose mounting, water intrusion, debris, or non-OEM bumper/grille parts affecting radar transmission. Perform a full scan for ADAS faults and complete static/dynamic calibration per Hyundai procedure; replace the radar sensor or bracket if alignment cannot be achieved or internal faults are stored. After repairs, verify operation of FCA, SCC, and lane/driver-assist functions on a road test.

On the 2022-2025 Hyundai Sonata, multiple owners of DN8-generation Sonata models report individual direct-injection fuel injectors failing, leading to cylinder-specific misfires, rough idle, hesitation, and flashing or steady MIL illumination. Reports are concentrated on the 2.5L Smartstream engine family and often involve one injector failing first, with some owners later replacing additional injectors. The issue is documented in owner complaints and forum discussions describing injector replacement as the corrective action.
Diagnose with a scan tool for cylinder-specific misfire and injector circuit/performance faults, then confirm by swap-testing, balance testing, or oscilloscope/current-ramp analysis. Hyundai dealers typically replace the failed injector and clear adaptations; if contamination is suspected, inspect fuel quality and rail/injector seals. If multiple injectors show abnormal flow or repeated failures occur, replacing the full set may reduce repeat visits.
