Consumer Description

The Battery dies randomly and requires the physical key to unlock the door. It is a hybrid, so it has a 12 volt battery button that jumpstarts the car. While driving the vehicle, the battery meter on the dashboard will show a near-full battery and then a near-empty battery within a few minutes. This vehicle was bought brand new from a Hyundai dealership and for the first 2 years, there wasn't an issue. The past few months, the battery issue started.
