| While driving the vehicle cut of completely. electrical, engine, power steering, windows, everything was completely unresponsive and shutdown. i was forced to manually force the vehicle on the side of the road away from traffic/into safety. this is the second time this has happened in 2 weeks! the dealership stated that they had replaced the pcm/ecm. once on the side of the road the vehicle was completely unresponsive and it was towed to the dealership again. this is completely inexcusable. | |||

| The hyundai elantra 2012 is equipped with front and rear seat warmers. the switch for the front seats resets to off when the car is turned off. the switch for the rear seats, however, remains in the on position. the next time the car is turned on, the rear seat warmers will be activated again until they are manually deactivated. a caveat in the hyundai manual states: with the seat warmer switch in the on position, the heating system in the seat turns off and on automatically depending on the seat temperature. this safety feature is to prevent injury to someone using the seat. my concern is the potential hazard the rear seat warmers pose when they are not being used by a passenger and the driver is unaware they are activated. on cold winter days the rear seat warmers could be heating at maximum wattage every time the car is turned on, unbeknownst to the driver. with this being a seating area often used by children, i believe there is a high likelihood that these switches could be left in the on position frequently and for lengthy periods of time. this poses both a health risk, as well as, endue wear on the electrical system and rear seat components. | |||
