LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
Potential Consequences:
Hello, I bought a brand new Hyundai Elantra Hybrid 2022. In the first month my Navigation system started having trouble and would just stop working as I was driving. Which was very unpleasant experience. I would like to keep using it but it just wont work. I already went to the dealership for this issue but they were unable to resolve it. The only thing they could do was to restart the car. Please see the screenshots of errors for your review and investigation. Today, but accidentally discovered that my huydai has a recall and I was not informed about it. The issue at hand is following: "Safety Risk THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH DRIVER/PASSENGER PYROTECHNIC-TYPE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS THAT MAY DEPLOY ABNORMALLY DURING A CRASH. AN ABNROMAL PYROTECHNIC PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT COULD CAUSE METAL FRAGMENTS TO ENTER THE VEHICLE OCCUPANT COMPARTMENT, WHICH MAY RESULT IN INJURY TO VEHICLEOCCUPANTS." This is serious. I am scared to drive because my seatbelt can kill me if I get into an accident. I would like to ask you, please take care of this issue asap and also provide a remedy for failed notification on time which puts my life and health under risk. Thank you very much, Victoria

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
I attempted to accelerate while on my way to work and the vehicle would not start the engine. With the pedal pressed all the way to the floor, I was barely accelerating. Had this happened when I was pulling into traffic or otherwise had to accelerate quickly to avoid an incident, it could have been extremely dangerous. The battery almost completely died before I was able to pull over, but turning off the vehicle and starting it again returned the vehicle to normal. The vehicle has not yet been inspected concerning this issue. There were no warning lights to indicate there was any sort of fault. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.
