This is a continuing issue of the car not driving.
In 2017 the car would not restart after stopping en route from Nevada to California. Massive ordeal like many other's stories, haggling with Hyundai BlueLink, Hyundai "Corporate" to get towed/rental car/hotel reimbursement/long wait for car to be repaired in California then haggling to get car brought back to Nevada. Costly, time consuming, always frustrating. Was told it was a bad capacitor, which was replaced.
Continued to have malfunction lights/indicators from that point on, brought car in multiple times to dealers, they can never figure it out, last time brought car in November 2022, was given the "can't replicate issue" and gas cap leaking so would cause engine light to come on. Several error messages subsequent to that and my car died in the middle of the road 2/4/23 causing me to nearly be hit from behind.
Car at local dealer who I have zero confidence can never fix this major issue and I have an e-mail into Hyundai corporate as well (no response as of yet). Probably going to reach out to an attorney to explore lemon law potential as I prefer not to be a similar story to the Tesla that shut down while driving resulting in the drivers DEATH. Yes Hyundai, this is a massive problem and one you probably should not continue to brush off.
