18000 miles on the car started hearing air come from the brake pedal. Took it to the dealer who informed me that the brake booster was faulty no recall on the 2018 Elantra GT but there is on the 2017. Car loosing power and slipping transmission. Dealer was planning to charge for the inspection of a warrantied vehicle and it ended up with a braking system issue?

The aeb system does not show any warnings or attempt to stop the car. I do not drive around trying to make this feature work but after getting the new car I did realize it was not detecting anything while my other car detects and stops fine in the same scenario. I have gone to the Hyundai service center where I purchased the car about this as well as submitted a case with Hyundai corporate. Corporate response was: Go back to the service center again and tell them what my concern is (again). So, I did. Hyundai says they will not test the issue and since the computer says there is no issue... there is no problem with the feature. I have made a video of this issue and posted to Hyundai facebook and got no response. I am concerned as well as frustrated with the lack of attention from Hyundai for this safety feature on my car. I have read the manual, confirmed the settings and requirements for this feature to work and it simply does not work on my car and for Hyundai to tell me they will not test it and there is no problem because the computer says their is no problem is sad.

Car shut off while on the highway randomly started shaking. All lights turned on check engine, motor oil light battery light. Car shut off to the point where I couldn't accelerate. So imagine being on the highway and your car shuts off randomly while your in motion and cant accelerate to merge to the emergency lane. This happened 4 more times on my way to the dealership less then 800 miles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
