Vehicle goes into limp mode not allowing you to go over 25 miles per hour. Happens randomly and unexpectedly causing you to about be rear ended. Once you pull over and shut vehicle off and restart it is normally ok for an unknown period of time

I went to my Hyundai dealer because the tunneau cover is taking in a lot of water when it rains. All sides are taking in the water. This even occurs when I go to the car wash. The whole person of the cover is to keep things dry and from things flying out of the bed of the truck. The dealer spent four hours trying to resolve it and contacted Hyundai tech line for assistance. They were told that they know of the issue, but there is no fix for it because enough people have not registered a complaint about this situation. While it might not be a hazard, it makes the bed unable to be used. I have to have it shop vacuumed to be able to put things into it.

My issue was that I would press the gas pedal, but once I got to 20 mph the engine would stop giving power and I couldn-??t get up to speed. My top speed was 30 mph, even though I would give it gas to speed up. This was the worst after I would come to a stop at a traffic light. As I pressed the gas to gain speed, it would struggle to gain speed in the middle of the intersection, causing the cars behind me to be frustrated and aggressively tailgate. I was able to find a parking lot, parked and turned the car off for approximately 20 minutes. After that I turned the car back on, I went for a test drive and there was no problem at all. When this all happened no warning lights came on. Very concerned that this will happen again, as I have no clue what triggered this incident. I have reported this to my dealer, but as this just happened today nothing has been inspected.

This particular vehicle is safety risk for user and it was discovered during delivery and dealer said it is OK it is small part missing - no precautionary measures has been done and removal issues are not in place until maybe 4 weeks from now

Hyundai manual requires 0w20 oil (which is synthetic) in this engine, to avoid engine failure. Hyundai promises 3 years of free maintenance. BUT, all local Hyundai dealers tell us that Hyundai Corporate won't pay for the recommended oil when servicing our vehicles. SO, they will do the free maintenance but are putting the incorrect weight oil, according to HYUNDAI itself. The Hyundai free maintenance, promised when purchasing a new Hyundai (35k in our case), can actually damage our new car. And if we don't take the free maintenance, it could void our warranty, down the road. SOMEONE NEEDS to do SOMETHING about this. This is fraud. MAKE Hyundai put THEIR required oil in THEIR engine, as stated in THEIR owners manual.
