Below 50 degrees it takes the heater an extremely long period for the car to reach normal operating temp and then when the heater is turned on it falls back to almost into the cold position and begins to blow cool air. The temp gauge will then go up while driving but will go down toward the cold position while idling. My other car is a 2011 elantra and have no issues with it as it warms up in just a couple of miles…

My car will not start sometimes, and the keys won't handle the signals to the car. If i were to want to turn it on it won't, when this situation happens. Also, this has happened twice. I park my car, and it won't turn on, not even the dashboard lights. The engine light does not come on so i the dealership can't scan it supposedly. I am worried this will happen while i am driving.
