This is a follow up to # 11560029, submitted 12/13/2023. On 12/14/2023, dealership updated the display software that I also previously updated on my own. Dealership unable to update navigation software because my car doesn't have navigation installed. Back up camera issue still persists with camera remaining on in neutral and drive as software update did nothing to correct the issue.

The backup camera stays on even in neutral and drive mode. In reverse the guide lines are present, however they are not present when in drive or neutral but the camera remains on. This is a safety hazard because it is very distracting to drive forward with live video on the 8" screen. I believe this is also illegal in my state when my teen is driving the car as state law does not permit drivers age 16-18 to use any hands-free devices when driving. I'm sure this includes live video being displayed even if it is the backup camera. Dealership reproduced the problem. I also have video of backup camera on while driving forward. Dealership service writer told me it "might" be that the navigation system needs updating. I told him I already updated the navigation. He told me to try again and acknowledged that the "process isn't easy". He says this is not covered by Hyundai. Apparently customers are responsible to update navigation/display software, even though my car was purchased brand new at the dealership in May 2021, is less than 3 year old (still under warranty) and has less than 25,000 miles on. The estimate to update the navigation, even though they aren't certain this is the problem is over $585. In Nov. 2021 (3,140 miles) the car was not turning over & starting. The dealership couldn't reproduce the problem, but discovered the horn wasn't working. They stated on the paperwork that I said it was not working, but I didn't not know that was the case. The dealership "energized horn and dislodged coil in horn assembly" and now horn works and coincidentally the problem with the engine not starting went away. The steering also makes a noise on occasion when turning which I suspect is also an electrical issue. All these electrical-like problems pose a safety risk and I am starting to believe they are all connected. I also feel it poses an additional risk to leave software updates to the customers when it involves safety features like the backup camera and display.

Horn will periodically quit working for days at a time. Will randomly start working again. Safety issue as horn is not always available to alert other drivers when needed.

The ignition failed me as a customer. Vehicle was stolen outside my residence. No keys were left in vehicle. This is very dangerous and high risk especially due to rise in crime rates of car jacking. My vehicle has been recovered and in the dealership collision center since March 30, 2023. My vehicle has never been in any accidents, with the exception of this thief. Not quite sure of the outcome of the manufacture, highway traffic center nor dealership.The information that I-??ve gathered is a lot of Hyundai and Kia vehicles are being stolen due to a leaked video on how to steal these brand of cars, which is terrible for buyers and owners. Please address these concerns, issues and unsettling problems for your customer safety.

I have had my horn fail 4 or 5 times since owning the car. It first failed when I got the car and somehow the horn wires has came loose. The second time it failed it completely failed and was replaced under warranty. The horn that was replaced the under warranty failed over the winter in like November of 2021. I had it looked at and they said that it worked when they tested it in a warm environment. Left the dealership and was told that if it failed to just call them and they would order a replacement for it under warranty. That had never happened they looked at the horn again and ordered the replacement that was installed in march or April this year. And it failed again yesterday 8/24/22. Please have this addressed under a recall since I really do not want to keep pouring money into replacing the same part that fails every 4-6 months

The horn started losing volume but would regain it back once the weather warmed up. I have to park overnight outdoors for work and when it snows and gets between 20-25 degrees outside, the horn starts being symptomatic. Now it doesn't work at all and it affects my alert and safety system because I have no way of warning other drivers or pedestrians around me. The other fault I have noticed is that the applecar play or the display itself loses its connection between apple carplay and the display. This causes the driver to lose attention from the road and the driver loses access to the visual map which is extremely dangerous in night time and snowy conditions.
