Hi all! This is my first post to the forum.

I purchased new 2018 Niro last December. All has been fine. However, today I attempted to start my car and a VERY loud growling sound happened and I could not shift out of park. I tried three times. I did not see any warning lights. I pressed the stop engine button, noise continued until I opened the drivers door.

Very startling and puzzling.

Five hours later I tried again and it started fine. I drove it around the block and all seems normal.

Does anyone have an explanation for this? Thanks in advance for any feedback. Susan

What is hibernation Interruption?

It is an attempt at a joke. ;-)

(I live with bears, so I got it.)

Jokes aside, this problem is not funny at all.

I believe this statement may well help the diagnosis: "I pressed the stop engine button, noise continued until I opened the drivers door."

So NOT a noise from the engine/elec motor/drive train.

Do keep us informed, Susan. And keep watching this thread, hopefully the community can point you towards an answer.

Do you happen to remember if the status light on the ignition button was lit at the time, and which color it showed?
