The high voltage battery will no longer charge neither from being plugged in to the charger on the wall nor from the buikt in system onboard the car. There are warning lights saying the inverter coolant is low but the reservoir is at the proper level. I suspect the coolant for the Hybrid charging inverter is bad and crystalizes causing blockages in the inverter coolant system. My car refuses to charge for the last 2 years. After a few seconds (about 7-10) the car shuts off the charging system when plugged in. And now that summer heat us here in the South West, it will not even charge from the regenerative braking. The high voltage battery previously would maintain 10-15% charge from th

While driving the car it suddenly decelerated and multiple warning errors on electronics, driver assist, braking started going off then the error message of Check Hybrid Turn Engine Off came on. I was able to coast into a parking lot as the car could only go around 5 miles an hour. I turned the care off and on and the Check Hybrid Turn Engine Off remained for the 2 hours it took to have a tow truck come to take the car to a dealer. The car has 16,383 miles and prior to this there was no warning or error messages. The dealer hasn't reviewed the car yet, but the fact that it immediately, with no warning, decelerated and would go only 5 miles an hour is very risky and unsafe.

The computer screen began to flash on and of and the windows would not roll up smoothly. When the tow truck arrived the car wouldn't start and it didn't recognize the key fob. Hyundai now has the vehicle and claims the car needed a "software update", but they cannot

THE TOUCH SCREEN RADIO IS INEFFECTIVE WHEN TUNING TO SIRIUSXM. IT JUST SITS ON UPDATING AND NOTHING ELSE YOU PRESS WORKS. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE MECHANICS LOOK AT IT, PULLED FUSES, RESETS AND NOTHING FIXES THE ISSUE. FROM RESEARCH ONLINE IT APPEARS THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR YEARS WITH HYUNDAI TOUCH SCREENS. THEY SAY THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO, BUT I LITERALLY JUST BOUGHT THE CAR.
