At approx 1000 the horn fuse blew and rendered horn inoperable. Fuse was replaced by dealer. At approx 1500 miles horn was inoperable again, dealer recommended horn replacement however the horns are currently on back order. In both cases, no lamps or messages were available in the car indicating the horn was inoperable.

NOVEMBER 2023: PURCHASE VEHICLE. SEPTEMBER 2, 2024: DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 50-55MPH IN RIGHT LANE. NO ONE/NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME. CLEAR DAY. VEHICLE COLLISION ALERT STARTS BEEPING, VEHICLE ABRUPTLY BRAKES AND STEERS ITSELF INTO THE LEFT LANE. I FEARED FOR MY LIFE AND ALSO FOR THE PERSON WHO WAS BEHIND ME. SEPTEMBER 16-17, 2024: DROP OFF VEHICLE AT DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE. NOTFD SERVICE ADVISOR OF SEP 2 INCIDENT, REQUESTED INVESTIGATION. WAS TOLD I'D HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND THEY WOULD LIKELY NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I WAS ALSO TOLD IN SUMMARY: "NOTHING SEEMED WRONG, INCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN A GLITCH, WE CAN TALK ABOUT TURNING OFF THE ENTIRE SAFETY FEATURE." -- I FELT COMPLETELY DISMISSED. SINCE EARLY 2024 (SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING): • VEHICLE RANDOMLY DISABLES ALL SAFETY FEATURES WHILE I AM DRIVING. YELLOW ICONS APPEAR ON MY DASH, AND DINGING NOISES KEEP ALERTING. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY! I SHOWED PHOTOS AND VIDEOS TO A SECOND DEALERSHIP, AND SENT THEM TO HYUNDAI CORPORATE (DEC 2024). NO ONE HAS MADE ANY RESOLUTION FOR THIS. • NOTICING MOISTURE BUILD-UP IN WINDOW CREVICES. REAR WINDOWS HAVE ROLLED DOWN WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2024: • VEHICLE MAKING HIGH PITCH WHISTLING NOISE. PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AS CRACKED HEATER CONSOLE. SEALED/REPAIRED TWICE, IN TWO DIFFERENT SPOTS. WHY WOULDN'T THEY JUST REPLACE IT?! • HORN NOT WORKING. I WAS UNAWARE UNTIL DEALERSHIP TESTED IT. • REAR DOORS BARELY OPENING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. PEOPLE NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT (AND IN). BROUGHT VEHICLE IN, WAS TOLD THEY "LUBED IT UP", YET THE DOORS ARE NOT OPENING FULLY AGAIN AS OF DECEMBER 2024-JANUARY 2025. DECEMBER 2024: • CONTACTED CORPORATE TO FILE COMPLAINT. SINCE I FILED IN DECEMBER 2024, WHICH IS 13 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE, I WAS TOLD I DON'T QUALIFY FOR ILLINOIS LEMON LAW BUYBACK OPTION. ONE MONTH TOO LATE?! DANGEROUS AND ANNOYING PROBLEMS, AND I'M STUCK DEALING WITH THIS? MY VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP!

Extremely dangerous issue and soon further research its a very common problem with some newer Hyundais. There needs to be a recall before some actually gets hurt!
