So there are a few issues that need to fixed with this that just randomly stopped working. First the driver side door will not unlock and sometimes it locks with my key fob. Second, My air bag Symbol has also popped up and will not go away. My horn will not honk and the right side on the steering wheel buttons suddenly stopped working. And now my passenger side back door will not open from the inside and out. These are things that shouldn’t be happening to the car, it’s not even 10 years old since I’ve had the car. Please fix these issues which at the dealership charge an arm and a leg to fix these issues. We need recalls for these issue to get fixed that Hyundai couldn’t do when they released these car types.
