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.

This issue also affects: Hyundai Veloster

Common Symptoms

  • Forward Safety system warning
  • front radar blocked message
  • smart cruise control unavailable
  • collision warning system disabled
  • intermittent ADAS warnings
  • warning chimes on startup

How to Fix

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.

Owner tips & cautions

  • TipAfter any bumper, grille, or front-end repair, insist on documented ADAS calibration rather than assuming the radar will self-correct.
  • TipKeep the radar cover and grille area clean and free of heavy wax, ice, or plate brackets that can interfere with the sensor.
Typical repair cost:$250 - $2,200
