What owners wrote
The power windows on the vehicle were not working. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic, who found a blown fuse. The fuse was replaced, and almost immediately, the tire pressure monitor computer located under the center console started to burn. The mechanic disconnected the fuse and cut the wires to the TPMS module. I then took the car to the dealership to explain the problem. At first they acted like they didn't have any idea what I was talking about. I left the car with them.
Dead battery after sitting for 3 days. Replaced battery. Dead battery again a few weeks later, again after sitting for a few days. Used the car a lot over next two months, so car didn't sit idle more than two days at a time. Then the problem recurred when not driving the car for a few days. Took it to a hyundai dealer, who couldn't find any problem. Car ok when using it on a regular basis. Then parked it for a few days, and battery died.
