My vehicle "check charging system" warning came upon the start up of the hybrid in the morning 12/31/2018, going to work. This was an issue on a heavy precipitous day in past. However there was not heavy rain, I turned the vehicle back off. It turned on without the warning which 1st appeared in front area and is audible. It started as I approached a stop sign. I live about 6 minutes away from work. The battery life is visible and it was not changed from mid point which has always been same. The tank had gas, no issue, and I drove it to work. I assumed with the car turned off for the 6hour shift I had, that it would possibly be relieved. I started the car to now drive to the store for quick grocery essentials. Within a 15 min time frame from work, store quick shopping there, and home again. The warning came back on. As I braked, or came to a stop for lights the warning would stop. As I pushed on gas pedal it would start. As I was approaching an intersection with traffic lights, I prepared to stop but as I got closer the car would not stop anymore than it had (which was significant) but not stopping, as I noticed the distance, my foot on the brake all the way I heard the vehicle (closing song) which is supposed to be heard when you turn the vehicle off. I looked at the dash in front of me which went blank all across the board and I braced for impact. My vehicle came to a stop because the collision occurred with this malfunction and my car hit the car in front of me. Physically we are ok. I am still paying for this vehicle and it is powerless by the curb at my residence until I can afford to have a tow truck pick it up. The dealership said no warranty, no assistance by them. I have a claim with Hyundai which is slow. You tube has so many vehicles from 2011 and recent models that are reporting same warning issues. I have a recording of it from that day.

Check charging system and check brake light came on at 76000 miles driveing 65 mph in the highway after 3 hours. Collant did not read hot, battery read dead. Vehichle quickly decellerated and I pulled over. Radiator blew neck off and several components of the cooloing system and hoses were melted there is a strong smell of fludge/fule based residue/combustion in cooling system that blew off neck. Battery so week I could not use the key to open a door or the trunk, or move seats. Coolant had just been topped of and system was flushed within 10,000 miles. Mechanic at Kia dealership diagnosed tgat tge gead gasket/cylinder head leaded into the cooling system causing the neck to blow off the radiator and melting several sensors and components of the cooling system that would not have melted or blown from fumes of low coolant alone. Oil levels and quality was good. I photographed the dash lights at breakdown and the coolant levels did not read hot. Check charging system and check brake lights came on. Check brake lights check engine lights had been a problem before. Dealership for Hyundai (coggins Hyundai in deland) says they think a lack of coolant caused issue, but I know I had coolant in the car - they just want to not be responsible for warranty repair, as I am the first owner and have done proper maintainance. I have seen many other people complain of similar issues from when the car is new (check chargins system less than 3000 miles) and the car blowing up/catching fire, etc. Perhaps the reason mine did not catch fire was all the coolant that was released. One car owner insists that all Hyundai will do this between 70,000 and 100,000 miles. Something big is going on with these cars - mine has had continual problems and it should be replaced at huyndai's cost. This should be studied further! safty hazard! read Hyundai forum and the other complaints!

Charging system malfunctioned, sensors melted in valve trane, radiator elbow and fill neck blew off, complete engine failure and battery failure. I have had a problem with the "check brake" light and an alarm going off. However, when I stopped driving and had it towed to the dealership they could find nothing. Prior to this incident, I took a photo of my dash, I had 76,499 miles and the coolant meter did not read hot. I had had the coolant system flushed at 65,000 miles, and I had all oil and fluids checked again after this incident. The breakdown: Three hours into a roadtrip, the A/C began blowing warm, simultaneously - the "the check brake" light and alarm came on, and the "check charging system" light came on. I lost power to accelerate (or brake well) and immediately pulled over and took a photo of my dash warnings (76919 miles). The heat sensor was in the "cool" half, the battery gage showed no power. Battery so low key would not start car. I had the car towed. "tech found that elbow and radiator have holes in them vehicle overheated causing engine to blow." Tiffany richardson said "tech believe vehicle was driven with low coolant level causing vehicle to run hot melting sensors in the valve train and the pipes to fail." The tech is wrong, the coolant system was inspected and flushed at 65,000 miles, and was not due for another inspection. I had had coolant levels checked less than 1000 miles ago, and the heating sensor on dash did not read hot, at the point of breakdown or after a road trip 500 miles ago. Others had the problem at 3000 miles! it's the hpcu. The power for both electric motors is routed through hpcu. The inverters allow the A/C motors to be driven by D/C batteries. This caused the "check charging system" error. $15,000 fix. I owe $4000. 100,000 warranty has denied it & I am original owner. Hpcu recalled B4?.
