“I have had my new car only two weeks and have driven only 500 miles. Yesterday, while driving on a freeway at constant 65 mph speed, I suddenly experienced COMPLETE POWER FAILURE. I coasted across three lanes of heavy traffic and came to a stop on the shoulder. There were no warning lights on the dashboard. I turned the car off, turned it on again, and the car drove normally. I checked on my Hyundai app and it said under Vehicle Health that all systems were normal. …”

I got on my hands and knees looked with a the flashlight And saw nothing. …”

I turned off the radio and anything extra that could use up power; during the next 45 minutes I took surface streets instead of the freeway to drive 22 miles back home and speed was limited to 40 mph. The next day the same warning lights were on the dashboard and speed was limited to 20mph; car lost power after 1 block.

The war displacy came on to tell em to check electrical system. I originally bought th car from Capitol Huyndai in San Jose on September 2025 and it has 5992 miles. I towed the car to Dublin Hyundai for repair and confirmed the DTCP1A9096 for ICCU computer failing to charge the 12 v battery. It was a well known recall .
