Worst experiece ever had with a new car

2021 Hyundai Sonata Limited 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I was so excited to drive home the beautiful Sonata Limited a few months ago. A week and less than 1000 miles into my experience, the car's dash began to display multiple errors regarding driver features (lane departure, collision avoidance, tire pressure), all in sequence. Sometimes, the speedometer would fluctuate wildly, and even turn off, steering would get light (or very hard). I even had occasional sudden breaking while backing out (for no reason as there was no other cross traffic). I turns out wiring harness issues where causing severe electrical malfunctions that made the car "light up light a Christmas tree" to coin the phrase of Hyundai tech service. I was lucky not to have been in a major accident while driving given the driver malfunctions. The dealer took 5 weeks to solve, spent over 300 miles of testing, hours of idling while troubleshooting. Now I got my "new" car back that been dismantled and put back together twice, has oils stains on seats that I cannot remove and am nervous the repair may be temporary since service department "thinks" found the faulty electrical issues. My new car feels like a clunker now (and forget about the new car smell). Customer service was contacted, they logged my claim but never got back to me as promised by the rep; 3 weeks later I am still waiting. A nice car, nice features does not compensate for poor initial quality and bad customer service. I understand issues pop up with all cars, but a manufacturer stands out in how they treat their customers and provide peace of mind. In this case, Hyundai does not stand out. This car should never have left the quality control department. There's a reason why Toyota and Honda do not have to con customers with lengthy warranties.

This car is a head Turner I have people in every luxury brand asking or looking to see what I’m driving..it is one sexy car not to mention it has everything that most luxury cars have and it looks luxury and sporty which I love. Drives amazing panoramic roof Bose sound system 10in screen 19in rims with pirelli tires...only down fall is the limited interior color but I don’t mind the grey with read stitching...mind you I’m only 33
