We were driving on the highway, taking the off ramp when the warning sound and alert to "Safely stop and do not drive" came on. So I pulled into a parking lot right away and had the car towed home. Firstly I found that the issue was likely the EV safety plug has a fuse in it that likely failed, so I tried ordering a replacement but couldn't get a proper OEM replacement. So I called a Hyundai dealership where I had it towed. I found out that there were 4 active recalls for the car such as the ABS fuse, auxiliary canister, engine monitoring logic, and the EV safety plug.
The Technical service bulletin (23-HC-001H-1) dealing with the recall on the EV fuse also requires that the Power Relay Assembly be replaced but unfortunately the Hyundai told the dealership they are not willing to replace that in goodwill and they want $1450+tax for just the power assembly relay. Fortunately I have the tools, the TSB says exactly what to do, and I have enough experience working on cars. Just sucks that the part costs $350, the dealership diagnostic is $211, and I'll have to get a dolly to tow the car home to save just $1000. Hopefully this issue doesn't come back, but from the looks of the other reports for this vehicle range from 2011-2015 it's likely to either keep happening or have further issues (engine and electrical) due to this failure. It's a damn shame that this felt like a good car at first, but it really isn't. Hoping to get it fixed and to turn it in quick, but we're not getting another Hyundai again. Stick with 2015 and older Toyotas or non-turbo Subaru's if you want reliability.
