My vehicle is in the shop now and will be due to 12volt battery charging system failure. I have taken the vehicle to the shop 4 times now because vehicle will not start unless you hit the reset 12volt button. The dealership told me that they were surprised that I was able to start the vehicle. I was told that it is the NHTSA Campaign # 24V868000. This vehicle is not included in this campaign number but it should be. Hyundai needs to include this make and model to the recall so other drivers don't have the same issue and so that they don't find themselves stranded.

Since a few weeks after buying the car new, the battery dies and self resets every few weeks on average. No error codes occur, but the car had clearly lost power while parked, indicating an issue with power management. For the last could months, car now has 26-27K miles and is 21-23 months old, it had mostly stopped resetting. It now is dead when I go out to it, even after only a couple hours of it being parked at night or during the day. I have to manually access the car and use the battery reset button. They observe no error codes. I have read other people have the failure while driving and fear and electrical issue could be a fire hazard. At the very least, it is a personal safety issue in making me take time to access my car, which could increase my risk of being attacked while trying to get into my car safely. It has occurred 5 or 6 times since August 21, most recently on October 8th and 9th.

I was driving on the freeway when the vehicle's hybrid battery continued to drop below a quarter of the meter. The vehicle's HUD started flashing red and the vehicle shut off. I had to pull over and wait for approximately 30 minutes before starting the vehicle back up and continuing home. The dealership stated it was a Hybrid battery issue, still under warranty, and is replacing the hybrid battery.

The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.
