Something not quite right....Hyundai has a 10 year/100K mile warranty on the electric car battery. Why is the warranty “no longer in force”? Over 100K miles on a 2022 model?! The “damage” voided the warranty? Or ???

“The “damage” voided the warranty?’

Yes

Why is the warranty “no longer in force”?

According to the video the scratch on the shield on the underside of the car that is there to protect the battery indicated to the dealer that there was some type of impact that voided the warranty. I have had similar experiences with other warranties that retailers and insurance companies did not want to cover.

Hyundai advertises that they have “America's best warranty” but it states over and over in the documentation that it covers only manufacturer's defects. If there is any indication that a problem might have been caused by the consumer... no dice. A warrantee is only as good as the fine print.

Many years ago my sister fell down in a roller-skating ring and broke her wrist. The health insurance company refused to cover her medical expenses because they said that she had put her hand out “on purpose” when she felt herself falling.
