Blind Spot Warning no longer works correctly after replacing stock Pirelli high performance summer tires with All-Season tires. The system constantly detects a vehicle on the passenger side, even when nothing is there. Numerous other Veloster N owners have reported this issue on the "velostern.com" forum site. I drive my car 300+ miles a week and depend on the Blind Spot Warning system while driving on busy highways, especially now that it is dark out so much. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership and they also could not figure out the issue. They claim to have spoken with Hyundai Tech Support and they said to replace the radar unit. This was on 11/16/21. The radar is still on back order with not estimated date of arrival. This car is not even a year old with 10,000 miles and a safety system that I depend on for safety has stopped working after replacing the tires.
