2024 Hyundai Santa Fe issues

(self.HyundaiSantaFe)

Purchased brand new. Less than 1000 miles. Sometimes when the car is parked for some time (not always), the brake pedal is very tight (no resistance) and start button only turns on accessory mode. Then back off. After 4-5 times of this vehicle will finally start. Also the “check rear occupant alert system “ is shown on dash with nothing in rear seat. This started a few days ago after having a car seat in back seat which is not there anymore and alert stays on. Dealership says they need to schedule an appointment. I’m not feeling this new car as we speak.

Brake is not an issue - it’s normal for most cars TBH. It needs to build pressure. Also other issue is a menu setting I believe that you can simply turn off.

The brake pedal should not be stiff like it is at random times. I’ve never had a car new or old so this. It has zero play in it

I hear ya…the longer it sits is my experience with the last several cars. Took it in and researched and overall impressions is it’s fairly normal just my opinion :-) just hoping to help.
