Horn has failed twice. The first time it was taken to the dealership and -??fixed-?? - now it has failed again. The second issue is that the car accelerates on its own, both at a high and low rate of speed. While traveling at approximately 60 mph on multiple occasions, when the engine transitions from the electric motor to the gas engine, it will suddenly rapidly accelerate without any additional pressure on the gas pedal. While braking at a low rate of speed, the car seems to fight the brakes and will accelerate instead, propelling the car forward. This has almost caused multiple accidents. At the first occasion (Mar 2023), the dealer did a -??transmission relearn-?? which mostly fixed the issue, but it has aggressively returned only 3 months later (one week ago) and is extremely dangerous. While trying to move to the side of the road and stop the car, the car continues the stop-go jerking/propelling forward and is nearly uncontrollable. The vehicle is currently at the dealership again and has not been diagnosed. On the first occasion they claimed they could not reproduce the issue. There is an open case with Hyundai regarding this. There were no warning lights or signals on the vehicle.

I drove my vehicle to the store, parked and went in to the store to get some things. When I came out and started the car several things were wrong with the car. The power steering was not working, the RPM gauge didn't work at all, the back up camera also was not operational. The check engine light was on, the forward collision light was illuminated. I was able to drive it home but that was a sketchy drive home. The next morning I got in the car and started it up no problem, none of the issues from the previous day were there, the power steering worked perfectly and everything was fine. I still drove it to AutoZone to get it check with a scan tool, and when I did the scan tool didn't come up with any faults. This all happened about two weeks ago. Hopefully the problems don't come back. vehicle mileage is 15,000 and I've had the car for almost a year so whatever it is better be covered under warranty. I also have been having a kind of wailing sound from my brakes when I slowly reverse, It's a high pitched squeal that is usually heard when the brake pads are worn. It sounds like a deeper kind of wailing sound. It actually comes and goes and never does it in normal drive only in reverse, If anyone else has experienced this please let me know.
