I have had a ton of issues. My blind spot sensors only work occasionally. (I actually know someone else with a Hyundai that is having the same problem). Additionally, sensors go off at random. I have had the warnings for flat tire pop up multiple times when there was no flat tire. One of the tones my steering wheel actually locked up and I was unable to drive. I have also had issues with my radio screen and the radio playing. My push to start button also has issues. Sometimes it will not turn the whole car off. They replaced something in the bottom but it is still happening. Today it actually had a hard time starting. This has been happening since I got the car. I've had it less than a year and it has been to the shop a couple dozen times. This happens at all times both when I'm moving and not moving depending on the issues. It has also happened when I was driving slower and faster. My screen has also frozen and I have been unable to use it. Both in motion and parked. P
