The shark fin antennae on top of the vehicle was ripped off in a car wash; the antennae serves to transmit radio/gps/data to & from the vehicle which will cease to function if it the cover is removed and components damaged. Hyundai description: the shark fin antenna will receive am, fm broadcast signals and transmit data multiple Hyundai dealers have been contacted for quotes on replacing the antennae which they claim will cost $1500+ since the top of the roof must be removed and electronics/circuit board/cables must be replaced; it appears to be a common issue with these shark fins according to the dealers and online research. The gps and data transfer could be a major safety factor depending on the systems affected. These shark fins need to be replaced with a more resilient system. Owners are unable to 'store' the antennae when taking it to the car wash as it is not removable or retractable. It is a design flaw. I've read that many have lost them simply driving the vehicle --not agitated using a car wash.

I along with other people on various websites have noted that the 2024 n-line has something wrong with the speedometer. I first noticed is on the waze that is was different. It must have something to do with the internal gps of the car. I tested it alongside another car and it is indeed off. It happens after driving the car into a place that isn't obvious on the map. I brought the car to the dealership and they weren't able to help. I know there is a slight allowance for speedometer being off, but this is way off. For example, it can show one is going 25, while really going 20. This causes me to have to look at waze to get proper speed. This is a real issue and if search Hyundai sonate n-line speedometer being off, you can find other people talking about this issue. Please really look into this as this is a major concern that falls outside the allowed difference in speedomter and actual speed.

The nav radio freezes up. Restarts randomly over and over. Can still tune the radio and sound through steering wheel but cannot see anything on the nav screen. This happened a day after the car was purchased. The dealer was contacted and said that the warranty was up. Would really like to get this issue fixed, as this is why the car was purchased. For the navigation feature.
