Hey there, So, funny enough, had a similar issue with my 2014 Hyundai Sonata not too long ago. The display started acting up out of nowhere. Tried everything, resetting, switching it off and on again, you name it, but nothing worked. After a fair bit of contemplation, decided to take it to a different garage. Turned out, the problem was a fried internal circuit thingy within the display. Wasn't something I was ready for, but It would seem these beasts have minds of their own, right? I'd say it wasn't a minor issue, but it wasn't end-of-the-world-type serious either. Just gave me a solid couple of days of stress, 'cause apparently these things can happen regardless of mileage. Though, taking into account your experience with your old mechanic, I can see why you're wary. Feel for you. Hope you get your issue sorted soon without burning too much fuel on errands. Best of luck!

Hey there feels like I just read a page from my own car's drama script. Appreciate you sharing about your Sonata's experience. Now, here's the part where I'm freaked out - the potential cost of it all. I'm kind of hoping you can give me a ballpark idea of what sort of bill I'm looking at here. Do you remember what you had to shell out for your display circuit issue? What's more, has your ride been smooth since, or you found yourself up against any more electronic gremlins? Just trying to brace myself for any possible bumps ahead. Cheers!

What's up? Yeah, I hear you. It's a real sucker punch when your trusty steed throws that kind of curveball. In the interest of honesty, it wasn't cheap to fix, but not like I had to sell a kidney either. The damage was a cool 725 Euro for replacing the dodgy display. Stung a bit, I can tell you. And you know what's really cool? Since I got that fixed, the old girl's been humming along quite nicely, actually. That audio system signal error you mentioned earlier, well, that got sorted after the display was fixed. Go figure! Not gonna lie though, the whole ordeal was a bit of a wallet drainer. But hey, a smooth ride's worth it, right? Here's hoping your Ioniq holds up and this is the only problem you encounter! Catch you later dude.

Hey! Thanks for the honesty. That pricing stings indeed. But good to hear your Sonata’s been giving you a smoother ride since. I’ve been meaning to listen to some good old tunes on a long drive. This audio chaos in my car has been a real party pooper. Well, seems like I've got my work cut out! Just hope 'n pray now that my car's saga doesn’t have any more unpleasant surprises in store. Your heads up really did set some expectations for me. Appreciate that. Catch you around take care! Cheers!
