Owner's description

I have not had accident in vehicle. There is a driver attention warning feature in the 2024-2025 Hyaundai vehicles that can not be turned off. They were able to be turned off in previous models. Because of the over sensitivity of the feature it creates a distraction while driving. It triggers activation after 10 minutes of driving and goes off if you’re swerving or wearing sunglasses, etc. a number of reasons. However, while I have been driving perfectly fine, it continues to go off and beep every 5 or so minutes. No swerving. Both hands on wheel. The feature isn’t a bad idea but needs to be less sensitive and able to be turned off. Going off so consistently creates a distraction to me while driving. I could see there potentially being many lawsuits regarding this due to accidents. I have spoken to multiple Hyaundai dealerships and they all say there is nothing they can do.
