“When I have my car parked without starting for 3 or more days, I get a alert that my 12vdc battery is low. When I get back to my car, I have to use the physical key to unlock and push the 12 dcv button to jump start the system.

“I bought my 2022 Hybrid Sonata in the summer of 2022. I drove it down to the beach (8 hour drive) about a week after purchasing the vehicle so at that time there were less than 100 miles on the car. We didn't use the vehicle for the week we were at the beach and when we tried to unlock the car to load our bags, the key would not unlock the car and we couldn't get in. We had to manually unlock the doors and call roadside assistance because the Battery reset button would not jumpstart the car. …”

They observe no error codes. …”

“As I was driving my dashboard lit up with warning lights and audible alarms indicating that I should inspect my regen brake. Safety features such as lane departure, lane assist, blind spot indicator stopped functioning and my speedometer did not work. I stopped the car and looked behind the front wheels and nothing looked “unusual”. I restarted the car and all of the alarms went off again, leaving me without a speedometer or the safety features mentioned above. I scheduled an appointment with my dealership explaining what had happened. …”
