| Description of the problem | While driving, the check hybrid system warning light came on. This began in september 2020. I would pull over and turn the ignition off then restart the vehicle and it would be fine and light would be off. This happened a few times and then on a long distance trip i shift it off and it took about15-20 minutes to restart. The dealership said it was the relay assembly and that it was a recall. It had completely melted the casing around my battery. They replaced it for free in october. Now in january it has started the same thing. I will never get another hyundai. This car has had more problems than my 2000 honda accord that has 300,000 miles on it. And my hyundai only has 84,000. |
