    We had a previous issue with our 12V battery not charging, which totally bricked the whole car. Hyundai updated the charge management system software under the active recalls and tested the 12V battery, which after it was fully charged they said was fine. Now (a few months outside our warranty period for the 12v battery), our car was bricked again and was so dead that we could not even start it/charge the battery with a jump start kit. We were stranded on the side of the…

    This report is an addendum to report 11762283 that was made yesterday. The vehicle allows driving with the rear liftgate ajar, however under some circumstances it engages the EPB when the vehicle comes to a stop while the gear state is still Drive. The gear state of the car remains in Drive when the EPB engages. This presents the driver with the choice, in the middle of the road and possibly in the middle of an intersection, of either exiting the vehicle and rearranging…

    After coming to a stop at a stop sign, and while the gear state was in Drive, the vehicle auto-applied the electronic parking brake because the tailgate was ajar. Gear state remained in Drive. Upon accelerator input, the parking brake did not release, and the vehicle delivered propulsion torque overcoming the parking brake. As a result, the vehicle accelerated and drove several blocks with the rear brakes fully clamped, which was only effectively indicated by a smell and…
