Instead of them engaging, the whole cars electrical system just shut off. No headlights, no instruments, interior lighting, co

I was sold a 2024 Hyundai Sonata SEL and while driving on the road multiple times the car completely shut off.

After a dealer-installed software update on my 2024 Hyundai Sonata sel awd, the car began jerking during acceleration and shifting. This happens at low and moderate speeds and creates an unsafe hesitation, especially in traffic. This issue did not exist before the update.

Please investigate whether this is linked to a faulty update aff
