Description of the problem	My vehicle "check charging system" warning came upon the start up of the hybrid in the morning 12/31/2018, going to work. This was an issue on a heavy precipitous day in past. However there was not heavy rain, i turned the vehicle back off. It turned on without the warning which 1st appeared in front area and is audible. It started as i approached a stop sign. I live about 6 minutes away from work. The battery life is visible and it was not changed from mid point which has always been same. The tank had gas, no issue, and i drove it to work. I assumed with the car turned off for the 6hour shift i had, that it would possibly be relieved. I started the car to now drive to the store for quick grocery essentials. Within a 15 min time frame from work, store quick shopping there, and home again. The warning came back on. As i braked, or came to a stop for lights the warning would stop. As i pushed on gas pedal it would start. As i was approaching an intersection with traffic lights, i prepared to stop but as i got closer the car would not stop anymore than it had (which was significant) but not stopping, as i noticed the distance, my foot on the brake all the way i heard the vehicle (closing song) which is supposed to be heard when you turn the vehicle off. I looked at the dash in front of me which went blank all across the board and i braced for impact. My vehicle came to a stop because the collision occurred with this malfunction and my car hit the car in front of me. Physically we are ok. I am still paying for this vehicle and it is powerless by the curb at my residence until i can afford to have a tow truck pick it up. The dealership said no warranty, no assistance by them. I have a claim with hyundai which is slow. You tube has so many vehicles from 2011 and recent models that are reporting same warning issues. I have a recording of it from that day.
