I tried it again and it started but sounded hesitant. I then drove it about six more miles and left it for about an hour. When I tried to start it again nothing. This time I tried repeatedly but it wouldn't turn over. I called Hyundai roadside and they came and jumped it and it started immediately. I then drove to the dealer and the battery checked out fine. I make sure I lock it every time I park, even in my garage. Today after sitting in my garage for about 14 hours it started fine. Tonight I went out to dinner and a play for about 4 hours and again starting was hesitant but it did start. I live in GA and the temp is about 35 dgrees so it's not cold. I don't have anything plugged into any of the power outlets. Has anybody had this happen to them? It sure seems to me like something is or was draining the battery.
Sounds like a connection somewhere between the battery, starter and alternator. Get them to check it out. It could also just be a bum starter or solenoid. I have seen it happen before on other Hyundai cars.
