62 Electrical System problem of the 2015 Hyundai Genesis

Failure Date: 02/13/2024

On February 13, 2024, my vehicle was not starting at all, prompting me to seek professional assistance. Subsequently, the car was towed to a nearby auto shop for a comprehensive diagnostic. The findings indicated that the starter was the root cause of the issue and required replacement. Additionally, a battery replacement was deemed necessary. Coincidentally, on the same day, a recall notice was issued regarding the starter, citing a fire risk associated with the component. In light of the recall notice, the vehicle was relocated from the auto shop to my residence. On February 19, 2024, the car was then towed to the dealership for further investigation and confirmation of the starter diagnostic, as advised by Hyundai corporate by an agent named, doreen. I contacted Hyundai corporate on Friday, February 16, 2024, seeking guidance about the starter diagnosis. Their recommendation was to have the car towed to the dealership to validate the starter issue. She stated they will be able to expedite the resolution process at a national level once the dealership confirms the diagnosis. Today, on February 21, 2024, capitol Hyundai in san jose, CA, associate by the name of ali lee, informed me that the starter was not the culprit; rather, it was identified as a "faulty" new battery installed six months ago. This revelation is disconcerting, especially considering that the car, parked for six days, should not have been able to start if the issue was solely related to the battery, as confirmed by the dealership. This report aims to document the sequence of events for future reference and to address potential safety concerns associated with the recalled starter, which poses a fire risk. Moreover, I would like to bring to your attention some pre-existing issues that might be connected to the recall, including light flickering while driving, headlights turning completely off automatically at night on the freeway & challenges w the car windows when using the designated buttons.
