Traveling back from Aurora Co to Iowa the Heating stopped working in three hours of our trip. A code came up and the Heating shut down.

I had my vehicle serviced at Hyundai of Kirkland, located at 11800 124th Ave NE, Kirkland, WA 98034, on December 19th, 2024. During the service, the dealership did not inform me of any active recalls on my vehicle, nor did they address any recall-related issues. I believe it is their responsibility to notify customers of recalls and ensure proper servicing as required.

LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
Potential Consequences:
2024 Models appear to not allow disabling the "Consider taking a break" alert even when disabling the "Driver attention warning" feature. This alert appears to go off on imperfect roads at seemingly random intervals when the car "thinks" you are driving improperly. The alert is abrupt, jarring, and unsafe in my option. I have no idea why they would release a model where you can't disable it when in previous models you easily could. It appears this is a common problem from my research online and I don't think Hyundia has made any steps to fix this.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
We purchased our '24 Santa Fe hybrid on 9/18/24 new with no problems. On 10/8/24, about three weeks later, I was stopped at a stoplight after exiting the freeway. When the light turned green, I accelerated and felt a clunk, then the car would not accelerate past about 30 mph. Several warning lights came up on the dash. I could hear the engine revving, but it felt like it wouldn't go into the next gear. I thought I could make it to the dealership, which was only a few miles away. But at the next stoplight, I was stopped in a turn lane, and when I pushed on the gas nothing happened. I tried shifting back and forth from park and restarting the car, but nothing helped. The car would not accelerate at all. CHP shut down the intersection and helped me push the car to the side of the road, where I waited for a tow truck. The car was towed to Folsom Lake Hyundai, where it was purchased. Warning lights said "Check hybrid system," "Transmission control system" and "Driver assistance system." The app listed these codes under POWERTRAIN issues: DTC P198500, DTC P178400. We picked up the car from the service center on 10/11/24. They said a wire came loose from the oil pump, so they reattached it according to factory direction and it's fixed. 5 days later, on 10/16/24, the car stalled again. This time on the freeway. I entered the freeway and accelerated, then felt a similar clunk and got the same warning lights. This time, the car would not accelerate at all. I stopped on the side of the freeway and was towed to Folsom Lake Hyundai again. It took almost 2 weeks to repair, but they said the same thing happened again. The same wire came loose, causing the car to stall. Their solution was to reattach it again and wish me luck. They said maybe I drove on a bumpy road, but there's nothing else they can do but reattach it and get it out the door. I do not feel like this is an adequate repair and we are now worried that the car will stall again in the coming days.

Potential Consequences:
The trunk will occasionally not open. The car and trunk are unlocked, and when you pull the handle to open the trunk the car beeps like it's trying to open it, but it will fail to open and will then give some failure beeps. This has happened to me several times, and I've read online this issue has happen to others too. This is a safety hazard and makes the trunk unusable when it happens. I have a video of the trunk not opening, but it doesn't look like I'm able to upload videos files to this submission.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Forward attention warning camera continues to malfunction stating camera is obscured even when not. If cruise is allowed to be engaged the camera will randomly decide it doesn’t detect your face and will hard brake to stop the car. This has happened multiple times to me, narrowly avoiding collision from behind. Hyundai refuses to address the issue because their technicians can’t duplicate the issue so they state the car is safe to drive. Camera becomes hot to the touch much like an overheating cell phone. At times camera can be covered completely and will not detect it’s obscured. This camera is a big safety hazard rather than providing any safety. Someone will die if this is not addressed-the manufacturer doesn’t seem to care to fix the issue. I’ve reported this to the dealership from the 1st week I’ve owned the car. My car has been at the dealership for this issue almost half of the time I’ve owned it. I have seen many others with the same issue in Hyundai forums-their issues have always been dismissed as not a safety issue by Hyundai as well. How can a car that will brake from a high speed or any speed for that matter be safe-just because it “thinks” you aren’t looking forward but are looking forward.
Corrective Action:
Forward attention warning camera continues to malfunction stating camera is obscured even when not. If cruise is allowed to be engaged the camera will randomly decide it doesn’t detect your face and will hard brake to stop the car.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The infotainment screen on my 2024 santa fe hybrid started flickering around 3k miles and right now at around 4.5k miles, 95% of the times it stays dark and unresponsive, 5% of the time it comes on but constantly flickers and only works the other 5%. We have no way to monitor reverse camera and for a car with lots of blind spots, this has become a safety hazard. I tried the small reset button next to the right knob on the center console but no results. There's an open Reddit thread on other owners expressing the same concern. This is nothing short of a major safety malfunction that could lead to potential damage to property and/or loss of life
