The forward collision avoidance system in this generation of Hyundai tucsons is dangerously flawed.

The ABS Control Module failed. After checking with the dealer, the part is unavailable unless you agree to pay 4x the price. After further research, blogs, online info, it appears this part is back ordered because of a widespread failure. This is dangerous and should have been recalled. Instead they are releasing small amount of part for the purpose of gouging.
