Your 2022 Hyundai N Line had an oil seal left out during an oil change at about 17,000 miles, causing rapid oil loss on the highway. This led to a catalytic converter fault code (P0420), and Hyundai replaced the converter under warranty but refused to provide diagnostic details. After the repair, your car developed new hesitation during acceleration that wasn't there before, suggesting the warranty work may not have fully resolved the underlying problem or caused additional issues.

Car horn failure. Almost had an accident. Tried to honk the horn, so that i could warn the other driver coming toward my lane, nothing, no sound at all. I swerved my car out of the way... it could have been bad if there was a car next to me. Took the car to the dealership. Verdict, they said the car horn needs to be changed. Nope, did not notice any warnings that the horn gonna malfunction. It is messed up. I hardly use the horn and yet it is broken. Isn't the horn supposed to last a while?
