Driving on interstate at 70mph. Multiple, five or six, warnings pop up in rapid succession mostly dealing with the safety features such as distance to car in front, adaptive speed control, lane keeping. The last one was hybrid system - safely stop. The car then immediately lost all acceleration power leaving us coasting. This all happened within a few seconds. Terrifying. Luckily we had space to get over quickly. 30 miles sooner we would have been in downtown Jacksonville with no place to maneuver. Extremely dangerous. A few seconds warning then nothing. Turned the vehicle off as soon as we stopped and car was completely dead, no electrical power to anything, including flashers. Not sure how you can’t have flashers on a hybrid. Basically no warning to no power at highway speeds and then no flashers. Something is seriously wrong with this.

The 2022 Hyundai Elantra Blue is Hyundai's entry level hybrid model, and after purchasing it about a month ago, we started experiencing 'near misses' while changing lanes and using the blinkers. While other models have a visible side mounted blinker on the right and left mirrors, they removed this important feature from the entry level model. This means there is no visible blinker on the side of the vehicle. While many vehicles have a blinker mounted on the front and rear of the vehicle with a reflector that wraps around to the side to give some visibility, Hyundai opted for small blinker lamps only visible directly at the front or rear of the vehicle. We have recorded a video at night showing the car with it's blinkers on as viewed from the side, and the only way to see that the blinkers are on is from the reflection on other surfaces. We actually tried the blinker in the daytime, and it is completely invisible when the blinker is on. The vehicle does have a blind spot warning that shows the driver when someone is in the next lane, which has been helpful. However, on a three lane freeway, we have experienced the issue where we are changing lanes at the same time as a car in the far lane, and the blind spot warning doesn't register the other vehicle until too late. Thankfully, all we've experienced so far is honking from other drivers, but we are very concerned that this may lead to an accident. I contacted Hyundai Consumer Affairs, who directed us to take the vehicle in to a dealership. When we took the vehicle in, the Hyundai Dealer rep recognized the issue, but said there was nothing they could do to take care of it since it was a design issue. We let Hyundai Consumer Affairs know what the dealership said, and they said "unfortunately the dealership would be the one to assist in the blinkers on the side mirrors. If the dealership is stating that there is nothing they can do unfortunately this would mean that your vehicle did not come equip".

Hello, I bought a brand new Hyundai Elantra Hybrid 2022. In the first month my Navigation system started having trouble and would just stop working as I was driving. Which was very unpleasant experience. I would like to keep using it but it just wont work. I already went to the dealership for this issue but they were unable to resolve it. The only thing they could do was to restart the car. Please see the screenshots of errors for your review and investigation. Today, but accidentally discovered that my huydai has a recall and I was not informed about it. The issue at hand is following: "Safety Risk THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH DRIVER/PASSENGER PYROTECHNIC-TYPE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS THAT MAY DEPLOY ABNORMALLY DURING A CRASH. AN ABNROMAL PYROTECHNIC PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT COULD CAUSE METAL FRAGMENTS TO ENTER THE VEHICLE OCCUPANT COMPARTMENT, WHICH MAY RESULT IN INJURY TO VEHICLEOCCUPANTS." This is serious. I am scared to drive because my seatbelt can kill me if I get into an accident. I would like to ask you, please take care of this issue asap and also provide a remedy for failed notification on time which puts my life and health under risk. Thank you very much, Victoria
