While driving in the expressway or road the car will suddenly shut off. All of the lights will come on in the dashboard and I have to put the car in neutral or park to start it back up. It will also shut off if I'm turning slowly around a corner or if I come to a complete stop after driving for awhile.

In January of 2019, my car began shutting off while I was driving. The battery light would appear on the dashboard before the car would completely shut off. I tried to have it fix but nothing worked. I'm September 2019, as I was driving 60mph on the highway, I suddenly heard a loud noise after which my car shut off and would not start again. I was able to have it towed to the nearest Hyundai dealership and was told I needed a new alternator, battery, and there was a misfiring. All these issues were'fixed'. my car has continued to shut off and I had to bring the car back to the dealership at which I was told they could not find anything wrong with the car. Something is seriously wrong with this vehicle and I am anxious and scared to drive this car. I have had to buy 3-5 batteries since purchasing this vehicle in 2016. My car is currently at the dealership due to this issue.

The door lock actuators on both rear doors have failed preventing the doors from being opened from the inside or the outside because the locks will not disengage. This presents a serious safety issue since any rear passengers are forced to exit the vehicle through the front doors of the vehicle. This is a known issue with Hyundai vehicles and can cost several hundred dollars to repair a part that is not generally considered consumable.

While driving down the highway my headlights shut off completely. Leaving us driving in the dark. It has happened multiple times especially when trying to use blinkers or switch high beams on or off. I took my car to the dealership and they say it's the multifunction switch and want $372.84 to replace it. My warranty has just run out and I have already had to replace the thermostat and now this is out as well as the back door lock actuator. I bought the car new, it's a 2017. I feel the switch and possibly the back door actuator must be faulty.

Doors will not open have to pull the handle 5 or 6 times for the door to finally open the passenger door will not open at all from the outside you have to open it from the inside to let your passenger in the car. The back door on driver side will not open from the inside or the outside only the driver side front door and back passenger door will open from the outside the other 2 doors either will not open at all or only from inside. If we was just have an accident or if it was to catch fire with us inside they would have to break the windows or cut us out of the vehicle because none of the doors work properly. The driver door you have to hit unlock and jerk the handle bout 5 or 6 times then it will open finally. I've took door panels off everything is hooked up and in working order so it's gta be a malfunction within the locks or something I can't figure what else it can be.

The car was purchased as a new car with 3 miles on the odometer from an authorized Hyundai dealership in June 2016. In August 2018, the car was driven for a little over 30,000 (highway)miles and was checked for the 30K-mile-service at the Hyundai dealership. The day after, engine check line turned on and the vehicle began shaking heavily in both high and low speed. Although I knew that the issue was related to the engine misfire, and was able to provide a obdii scan results from autozone, but the Hyundai dealership completely ignored all information I provided. In fact, they boasted about how well their "Hyundai scanners" are the only scanners that can correctly scan the vehicle. Consequently, I had to make four visits to the dealership within five days in order for them to admit their mistake and fix the problem. However, now the engine is still throttling in an unusual manner at a very subtle level. I spoke to the Hyundai's regional customer service manager about how this misfire could lead to dangerous situations on a highway where a driver's at a greater risk in higher speed traffic. But the response was simply advising me to continue visiting the dealership.

While the car was sitting in the drive, the car was turned off all of the lights except the headlights and reverse lights turned on. The only way I could turn them off is if I turned the car on and back off. It has happened 3 times in the last 3 days. The first two times it happened was about 2 hours apart from each other. The second time the lights turned off on their own within 30 minutes. The third time I was at work and am not sure how long the lights were on but I walked out of work to them on.
