What owners report
When approaching a turn, I let off the accelerator but the car didnât stop accelerating. Instead, it gently kept accelerating. I applied the brakes and the car started slowing down but not at the same rate I was applying brake pressure. Therefore I floored the brakes to try coming to a complete stop. Sadly, the cars ABS system did not engage, half of the car hopped over the curb at about 20 mph. I was able to steer the car back onto the road where it finally came to a stop but acted like it wanted to keep going until full blackout power loss happened. The car was deemed a total loss by my insurance company American Family. Essentially, the vehicle malfunctioned causing the accelerator to s
Refill Coolant warning light intermittently signals EV battery coolant problem. Hyundai dealer in Fort Wayne, IN, topped off coolant. Andrew service representative was informed of two YouTube videos explaining recall due to defective coolant ASC1 that crystalizes and/or becomes sludgy.

The regenerative brake system failed to operate as it normally does, and no indicator lights came on on the dashboard. This unexpected loss of braking force nearly caused me to hit the car in front of me. I had recently disengaged cruise control and was approaching a red light. I pressed my foot on the brake pedal and felt no response from the car. I lifted my foot and pressed again two or three times with no response, neither deceleration nor any change in the regenerative braking meter on the dashboard. I had to press the brake all the way to the floor before the mechanical brakes were activated. This loss of braking power greatly increased my stopping distance and I narrowly avoided hitt
This issue is easily repeatable, when braking if you hit a bump (pot hole, etc.) the braking power is greatly reduced & the brake pedal becomes almost impossible to push down to stop the car, making it very hard to stop even when not coming to an abrupt stop.
