That’s good brother, I 100% agree that if you can clean your car at home just do it, but unfortunately there are people who do not have such a convenience and we have to rely on car wash to keep our cars clean, but it still a stupid problem to have haha

i have a Forte gt and have a similar problem; when it rains and driving on the highway it sends me into limp mode about 90% of the time it rains. when this happens i get locked out of manual shifting and paddle shifters. I seem to only be able to drive in 2nd, 4th and 6th in my 7 speed DCT code is for clutch position sensor, circuit A

Oh man that’s sucks big time brother 🫤 have you tried dealing with warranty on this?

LOL, that's wild! I got a 'Front assist not available" after taking my front bumper off to install an aftermarket intercooler. Apparently, the VW front sensor needs to be reconfigured any time the sensor is 'moved' VW was going to charge me $1800 to turn the CEL off, at least Hyundai doesn't charge you guys! Unfortunately, this is the issue we will face due to the cars having more computers and electronics controlling our cars.

Yeah brother little things that we love about our cars right? 😆

This happened to me years ago with my 2016 Ford Focus ST. I went thru a drive thru carwash and left the car running and a few mins after I pulled out the check engine went on. I then checked and reset the code with my own scanner. I tried several days later again to go thru the carwash and leave the car running and sure as shit the light came back on. Ford could never figure out the problem and I ended up trading the car in. P:S I also just washed my motor over the weekend on my 23 Elantra N and have had 0 issues after but I did just use a garden hose instead of a pressure washer.

Last December, I and another owner had our knock sensors fail within 4 days of each other when a massive winter storm roll through. Dealership replaced the sensor, haven't had any issues since. I run through the touchless wash with undercarriage wash at least weekly with no problems. I think Hyundai just had a batch of bad sensors (too sensitive, from what I understand).

@PolishBullitt

That would be great honestly, just to swap for a new sensor and be done with it. I hope thats the case

Same thing happened to me,. on the interstate with my two daughters in the back, and couldn't get out of limp mode. Had to get a tow truck and wait 2 hrs, and Hyundai didn't know how to fix it. They cleared the code, and luckily it hasn't happened since them. I bought a $20 OBD-II scanner from Amazon and keep it in my EN if it happens again. Also mine was triggered after an automatic car wash. I was my car myself now and haven't had any problems.

Good Luck brother and if you get a code try to use a scanner maybe we can pinpoint what’s the problem 😉

You guys keep your cars clean... have you tried the basic wash (less powerful with no undercarriage) to see what happens? Different car.... but I get a lot of condensation in my headlights and taillights when I use those powerful washes/options. When I started using the basic wash, everything was good. No more problems. Its worth a try to see what happens. Either way Hyundai needs to investigate because like you guys said, if you get caught in a rainstorm you might have issues.

****THE FIXX**** After a THIRD VISIT from the same issue (ran it through the wash again) they replaced the knock sensor. Since then I've been through the wash twice w/o a problem. Opening a case w/ Hyundai didn't do anything, it's why I gave them a 3 out 5 star review across the board. Infact, their advice of going to a different dealership sucked because they didn't even notify this other dealership of me coming by🤔 A simple email to them was too difficult for this rep, so when I get there the guy had NO idea about me and/or my issue. Additionally, erasing the code, something the dealership and the other dealerships idea, didn't work either🙄 I mean it did when they did it the first 2 times but not when I did it with the code reader I just bought or even when they themselves did it (maybe on Sat w/o the master tech there they don't access to the better one🤔) I'm glad it's taken care of but not impressed at all with customer service one bit here. If they could just take care of customer service they'd rule the world because the vehicles are incredible❗️
