  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

On my 2015 sedan, 4 times now in the last 2 weeks, when I go to start it, is completely dead...but when I close the door sharply, everything starts up. I checked all the battery connections that I could and they all seem tight. Figure there must be something loose that closing the door jars back into place but have no idea how to find it. Don't know what else to check. I'm widowed and live alone in a rural area and am afraid that one of these times it won't start. Suggestions??

I had the same issue last year. I could never track down the reason. I started not using the alarm, and it seemed to stop for some time now. I also bought a jump pack that I keep in the trunk now. Odd thing was, my other vehicle (work van) also kept going dead. It was a strange time. I would say check the fuse block and positive connection on the block on the battery. Some folks solved their issue that way.
 
Are you using a Hyundai battery or an aftermarket battery, if so the aftermarket battery shims are slightly smaller than Hyundai battery ones and that can cause loose connections.
