parking assist system malfunction

...And my car is still not fixed since approximately Sept of 2021 and now it is July of 2022. WHAT DO I DO?

This is a fundamental problem caused by the car in front of you having its backup sensors on while it is not in reverse. There really isn't anything that Hyundai/Genesis can do about it. Jaguar tried to solve the problem a few years back by turning off the front parking sensors until you pressed a button to turn them on. That didn't work out because the drivers expected them to stay on and were surprised when they hit something parking without any warning.

sometimes when I am at a light or stop sign and there is a car in front of me the sensors that indicate you are to close start beeping and showing the yellow warning symbol. I am not to close and this happens randomly.

There is nothing to do because there is nothing to be done. There are countless threads on this site About this and on almost every other brands forum. It results from your Genesis proximity sensor interacting with anthother car’s sensor. So how close is “not too close”? I’ll bet if you park with no one around and sit in the car, it will never go off.

stop wasting you time perseverating about this. Stay further back from cars at a light although you can’t do much about cars next to you, an enjoy your car. You can turn off the sensor at the light if it really drives your crazy. Enjoy!

The infamous Ford and BMW detector.... next time it happens, take a look around, there's a Ford or BMW product in front of you... includes their sub brands like Lincoln, Mini, etc... If you're lucky, you'll see a Rolls... lol

have a 2021 Genesis GV80 and sometimes when I am at a light or stop sign and there is a car in front of me the sensors that indicate you are to close start beeping and showing the yellow warning symbol. I am not to close and this happens randomly.

This particular case is neither random, nor a defect with the car.

The low speed parking distance sensors work like this:

1. Send a short pulse of sound.
2. Start listening for an echo of that sound bouncing back from a nearby obstacle.
3. Stop listening after echos of interest have had enough time to return.
4. Based on how long it takes for the pulse to travel to an obstacle, bounce off it, and travel back, it calculates how far away the object must be.

When you get false positives and a car is close in front of or behind you, the other vehicle sent a pulse from its own sensor just before your vehicle did the same. Your car then hears the other vehicle's pulse come in and thinks it heard an echo. It came sooner than the echo it was expected. Thus it calculates that the obstacle must be closer.

This is not something to be fixed. It is simply that other vehicles are using the same or similar distance sensors so false positives are possible when those cars are near one another.
