if the 2.4 GDI engine is all aluminum, INSIST that the dealer replace the radiator, thermostat, complete coolant flush AND most importantly the head gaskets.
I learned this well from my Acura Legends--- if an aluminum block is allowed to overheat more than seconds, the head gaskets are fubared....
you can do what you want...****, let Hyundai walk all over you and convince you that your car is fine. In my world, I make the rules since I am the customer and they are getting MY money, not the other way around.You can demand, you can beg and scream, the dealer will not succumb to your demands. If its not broke, they aren't fixing it, should something break, then they will fix it, the car has a thousand or two thousand miles on a 100k warranty for 10 years. Do you really think they are going to break down and rebuild the whole engine? NO.
Pull the fuse that blew and see if it goes into the hot. Is this an aluminum block? Again, my V6 Sonata the temp gauge even with the fan off, the temp stays the same driving or idling.

either they change the HG's and all associated cooling components or they can take their $26k wannabe Lexus and shove it up their korean bungholes for all I care.....I own 5 cars, I'm certainly not married to my Sonata

They would take the car back and re-sell it used before they replaced the HGs on a new car, giving the OP a similar model or even try to up-sell. The labor+parts they would have to pay to replace all that crap isn't worth it for the minor chance there would be an actual problem in the first-owners lifetime of the car. If you tried that at the dealer they would laugh at you. There's a point where customers become so unprofitable and argumentative that they aren't worth keeping. You wanna take your (at a loss, problematic and time-wasting) business elsewhere? Go ahead.you can do what you want...****, let Hyundai walk all over you and convince you that your car is fine.

It could have been a defective fuse. If it blows again, then I'd say it's a bigger issue.I'd have to agree that it shouldn't have overheated that bad that quickly. Unless he sat there without the car moving just idling for 15-20 minutes on a very hot day (90+) I don't see why it would overheat that quickly. The fuse isn't supposed to blow, the fact that it did is a red flag. Fuses blow when there is too much current, that means there was an issue. I'd demand more of a result than just replacing a fuse.
