Navigational (global Positioning System) Gps Problems of Hyundai Santa Fe

The vehicle's software update initiates upon start-up without the option to delay to a different time. The three updates I've received this year have taken 20-30 minutes each to complete, while I'm traveling. These updates disable hands-free calling, all media and gps. I can't confirm if any other vehicle safety components are disabled. I don't use them. I contacted my dealer and they stated that's how it works, and there is no option to delay the update. When the update initiates it states the update can continue without the vehicle "on". Wouldn't it be safer to have the ability to schedule it to a later time when the vehicle isn't being used? similar to a cellphone update?.

While driving my car on the highway, the entire electrical system shut-down including my cruise control, gps, radio etc. Also on this same trip, the engine completely stopped (also while on the highway). Luckily I was just turning off an exit ramp and was able to barely steer it to the side of the road. The starter light was still on, but the vehicle was completely dead. Had to punch the starter light again to turn it off and then back on again. A second incident occurred while my husband was driving my car in the city just this past week. Driving on streets (not highway driving) and the car shut down unexpectedly 4 different times: once climbing a hill; once trying to pass another driver; twice for no reason. I've taken this to the dealer since it's still covered under extended warranty but since they can't find any issues, the next time I take this in it will cost me money. Of course, since the engine completely stops, nothing is recorded with sensors or computers. Help please.

The screen on the gps unit cracked as I was cleaning it. I had the car for 10 months with 7000 miles on the car. Hyundai has refused to replace the unit. I am unable to download updates, the continuity is broken. The car was parked and in my driveway as I was cleaning it.

We were on a an extended trip and had programed the gps to take us to a remote point we had never been to before. Suddenly the gps screen went blank, except for the vehicle marker icon - this lasted for several minutes. It then flashed multiiple directions for future turns (which were incorrect), it went blank again, and then reflashed other multiple directions for future terms. This happend several times. Ultimately, the gps said we had arrived at our destination, but we were at least 30 miles from one of the points along the way to where we were going. Had I not known generally where to go, I would have been lost in a remote area with little or no other people on the highway to help.
