Anti-theft Devices Problems of Hyundai Elantra

After anti-theft software upgrage my car will lock me out. I cannot unlock the car door with the key fob or by using the key. This has happened three times. I don't kkow if it will lock me in the car when this happens, since that has never happened. Had to call aaa to get back into car. On another occasion waited two hours and the car opened using key fob.

After koons Hyundai in woodbridge, va did my anti theft safety recall, my 2012 Elantra's engine would stop working and I had to restart my engine. Often the BMW guage would malfunction/stop working, my Elantra would not accelerate past 30 mph and the engine would stop working. When I first went to koons Hyundai for the anti theft safety recall, earlier this year, I did not have any of these issues and I could contact Hyundai and schedule an appointment ASAP. However, after koons Hyundai started performing its anti theft safety recalls on Hyundai vehicles is has taken very, very long for Hyundai to schedule my appointment. For instance, I called koons Hyundai around September 6, 2020 (my 63rd birthday) and the earliest that koon's Hyundai could schedule me for an appointment was October 2, 2023. In fact, for my 63rd birthday, I traveled to my son's home in midlothian, va and dropped my car off with pearson Hyundai at 11701 midlothian tpke, midlothian, va 23113 on labor day, September 4, 2023 and received a call from pearson Hyundai on September 5, 2023 thatm it would take three weeks before they could service my Elantra. This very, very long service delay by Hyundai never existed before the anti theft service recalls and I believe Hyundai is doing repairs to make money from its anti theft service recalls which reset its Hyundai computers causing my Elantra's computer to cause starting and BMW and slow transmission mph issues. . . As if somebody was stealing my Elantra. Due to Hyundai's anti theft safety recall issues, I am going to have to go to Hyundai, spend tons of money to have Hyundai fix problems, that never existed before, at my expense, which basically sucks. I know Hyundai did not want to spend money on this anti theft safety recall, but Hyundai should not rip off Hyundai owners through its own inabilities to properly update safety features of its vehicles.

When I tried to start my 2009 Hyundai Elantra touring, I could not move the ignition key or the steering wheel. With great effort in trying to turn the wheel, it has been possible to get it to move. After this happened for the third time, I took it to the Hyundai dealer in punta gorda, FL. Before he even looked at it, the service manager told me all cars do that. That there was nothing they could do to fix it. Something about an anti theft feature and that I had to leave the steering wheel at 11:00 o'clock position. The car now has only 23,232 miles on it and I was stranded again in the grocery store parking lot. This has now happened to me 5 times, in flat parking lots, in the hot sun in florida. I had to call aaa, twice, as I was not strong enough to move the wheel. What good is a 100,000 mile warranty, if they can't or won't fix the car? I am afraid to drive it, as I would not want to get stuck someplace unsafe.
