| Description of the problem | The vehicle will not charge the hybrid battery when properly plugged in, with either 110v or 220v plug. This happened previously and hyundai repaired it with a part costing around $2,000 they told me (it was under warranty and cost me nothing). Has been in the shop continually since july 7, 2017 (31 days!) this time. The vehicle was stationary, in my garage. This problem was noticed in the past (not charging overnight), but never stayed a problem--i was able to get it to charge usually the very next day. This current problem began around july 3, and i tried to get it to charge every day until i took it in for hyundai service. |
