Vehicle experiences intermittent dtc c222908 (integrated brake actuator internal circuit malfunction). Warning lights (brake, abs, esc, hybrid system) illuminate intermittently, brake pedal feel changes, and regenerative braking fails. Dealer confirmed stored code but refused repair stating "no current issue". This is a known failure in 2015-2019 Hyundai hybrids that can lead to sudden loss of hydraulic brake assist and increased stopping distance. Safety critical defect.
Intermittent loss of power "sputter" at any speed with solid mil. Releasing the throttle clears the condition and the mil goes out. Vehicle drives normally with no warning indicators until next occurrence. Cause unknown at this time, began happening a few weeks after engine long block replacement under warranty campaign.

Sun roof exploded while driving on the freeway. There was no known road hazard that would have caused this.
Shattered sunroof. Driving down highway, sunroof spontaneously shattered. The outside temp was approximately 55-60 degrees f.
Spontaneous explosion of panoramic sunroof as I was travelling down the highway at about 60 mph. No foreign object involved. Sounded like a bomb went off above my head. Thank goodness, the inner liner was closed.
While I was driving on interstate , moonroof/sunroof start making awkward noise. I noted the moonroof had came out of it's position.

Brakes and emergency brake failed. Warning lights came on slowed down pulled off road after short time lights went off. Then back on again and again no brakes we were in transit cross country. Traveling 75 mph, the speed limit,.
