Hopefully, they can convince the dealer that they are acting foolishly. The entire procedure takes less than 10 minutes.
Talk about"Good will"!

I got to this discussion late. Can someone tell me what "limp home " means and why it has to be programmed?
Thanks in advance.

Hood Release by wards

The hood release failed twice on my Azera.The release handle is made of white metal and there is aball at the handle end. If the cable binds the ball pulls right through the handle as it did twice in my case.You can still open hood by pulling on the ball with pliers.
Dealer claims he modified handle so we will wait and see what happens. I haven't tried to open hood recently as temp -35

RE:3661
Limp home mode is a function of the security system. If the computer senses that an unauthorized entry or attempted engine start is made the security system disables the vehicle. A security code entry via the ignition key allows you to drive to a dealer at a reduced speed, hence "limp home" who will "unlock" the car, allowing normal use.
By the way, the dealer can also program the "ez exit" feature which automatically moves seat 3/4 way back and raises the steering wheel to full upright position upon removal of the ignition key.

Let me add to the discussion that to program the limp home mode takes no more than 10 minutes, at most. They use the hand held scanner and program it in with a 4 number code that you select. There really should be no charge, and if you use the dealer for your necessary services that should be a "no brainer". My dealer did the limp home mode and lock/unlock mode at the same time, no charge and it wasn't even an issue.

It's funny how one can feel that he's the only one with a certain problem until you post about it on the internet and see that others have had the same thing happen to them.
 
I certainly hope that this isn't a problem caused by crappy design or poor materials for the particular application. If it is, I can see my warranty getting used an awful lot!
 
Also, I'm gonna do an inspection and see if the cable end pulled loose from the handle. If that's the case...maybe we'll hear about this a little more and complain to Hyundai and they'll make a necessary change in design or materials used.

It's a little surprising that this wasn't picked up, as Korea's locale isn't exactly in the tropics!...

I checked mine today. It was the ball end of the cable coming detached from the lever. However, in the infinite wisdom of the tech that looked at my car...the front trim piece of the grille, the part attached to the hood...was broken loose. They will be replacing that as well.
 
I too was able to open my hood using a pair of pliers and pulling on the end of the cable.
 
Oh yeah, I also figured out how to adjust the parking brake as well! There's an access panel located in the bottom of the center console cubby. Remove all contents and you'll see the rectangular panel. Pop it loose, lift it out and you'll see the adjustment nut between two cables. With the parking brake off, you can turn the nut clockwise to tighten. I shall tell you...it can be done by hand, but you will have to contort your hand in such a way to get at the nut. A 1/2" wrench works, but...with such limited space, you won't get too much of a turn using it.
 
Just a lil FYI for those DIY'ers.
