Vehicle continuously alerts that the hood is open when it is in fact closed. Hood latch is in good condition. This happens very randomly, even while driving.
The airbag dash light intermittently comes on and off, it has thrown a B1490 code although the car has never been in any major accidents before. I have read that it is a common issue among vehicles like mine, however there is no recall though I've seen many complaints about it on online forums.
The recall of the ECU flammable software recalled was fixed at Hyundai tysinger dealership in hampton va July 2020 when I retrieved the car the TPMS sensor was illuminated they assured me the software pkg they upgraded and other services provided were not related to that happening. I had a second option at rnr hampton va who ensured me that replacing each tire valve would fix the issue. They charged me 400 on 9/16/2020 for that service when the car was picked up the TPMS sensor needed to re-set itself and driving it with it was fine - it would ask to prompt me to re-set it and / or do it automatically the next 24 hours - it did not do that - it is Jan 18 2021 I just had my diagnostic for the TPMS sensor for this 2015 Hyundai Sonata at hall automotive they are saying all four valves and software that the valves placed with rnr were not complaint with Hyundai software and should of known that - it states that prohibition of 49 usc 30122 are to be integrated and compatible before proceeding the dealership - rnr and original dealership should all me accountable for this 2000 error
Vehicle driver received audio and visual alert while driving at high rate of speed that the "hybrid warning failed and to check hybrid system-turn engine off" and to pull over safely. However, the vehicle locked and lost all power making it impossible to safely exit the interstate almost instantly after the alarm. Upon research, I manage a large vehicle fleet, we have multiple other Sonata's with the same issue-and there is a tsb for this known safety failure (17-hc-003-1).
The car has failed to start on multiple occasions. I enter the car, press the break and the push to start button, and the car fails to ignite. It happens normally when it is colder, but will still do it when it is warmer out.

My 19 year old daughter was driving home from the store and the car shut down in the middle of driving all power went out steering became hard and brakes became hard. And something smelled as if it was burning. We are the second owners of the car and barely drive it. It was purchased 2 years ago and regular maintenance is kept on the car. Unfortunately we don't have a warranty on the car any longer and still making payments. This is very dangerous and could have caused a major accident and as well as cost my daughter her life if she didn't know how to control the car when everything shut down in traffic.
Driving on the highway when "hybrid system warning. Do not drive" the vehicle lost all power and had to roll down the hill. This happened 2 years ago and the dealership supposedly fixed it.
In 2019 I had my computer replaced with less than 60K miles! I had every light come up on the dash board. I've been complaining to the dealer ship about my car running out of oil, the engine makes weird noises as it currently has less than 80K miles on it. I had my oil changed on April 15th. 2020 6 days later my cars engine was making noises checked my oil and I was down almost 2 quarts in less than a week. I bought this car brand new and have had nothing but issues with it.
The week of 2/3/20 I reported my vehicle's lose of power at interstate speeds and the illumination & chiming of the check engine light. I took the car to the dealer where they ran engine diagnostics and began an oil consumption test. On 3/2/20 the vehicle again lost power on the interstate. Again I took it to the dealer where they did the T3G campaign. Yesterday 3/17/20 the engine light came on and remained on for 5 starts of the engine. The dealer could not replicate the symptom on 3/18/20. The vehicle failed the oil consumption test by 363 miles and the dealer is submitting a claim for a new engine. This model year car has serious defects and may not be safe to drive.
When I have the "lane departure" running it cancels out the "blind spot detection". the dealer has recalibrated the sensors twice an finally told me I couldn't operate both of those two items and the same time. This occurred going down the road, city or highway or city streets.
