While driving on the highway at approximately 66 mph, my vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly activated the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) system and applied extremely hard emergency braking. There was no vehicle, pedestrian, or other visible obstruction in front of my vehicle that would have required emergency braking. The braking was severe and unexpected. The force of the braking was significant enough that it caused the passenger door to unlock. I was traveling at highway speed, making the unexpected braking a potentially dangerous situation for me and surrounding traffic. I did not intentionally activate the braking system, and there was no apparent obstruction immediately ahead of the vehicle at the time of the incident. I am concerned that the FCA/ADAS system may have incorrectly detected an object or otherwise malfunctioned and activated emergency braking when it was not warranted. I am requesting that NHTSA document this complaint and investigate whether similar incidents have been reported involving the 2026 Kia Sportage X-Line Hybrid, particularly unexpected or false FCA activation resulting in hard braking at highway speeds. I also intend to have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer and request that the incident, diagnostic findings, software status, sensor/camera calibration, and any applicable technical service information be documented.
