The vehicle has twice been disabled while driving due to “lost communication with hybrid module powertrain control module.” This breakdown is a significant safety hazard as the car loses power and coasts to a stop without any warning. The second time was on a 65 MPH highway. Neither time has had any warning before the malfunction lights appeared.

Issue: cruise control speeds up too much going uphill, and slows down too much going downhill. Description: I set my cruise control to 75mph, the car will go over 77mph when going uphill, and slows down below 73mph when going downhill without any driver input. This doesn't occur on other gasoline only hyundai I drove such as santa fe.
