Stinger is 3 months old and had theses issues from the start. Nav directions on rear view mirrors N/NW/s/sw etc blinks but for some reason is blinks the most when facing north west NW


Other thing a few times I get in my car hit the start engine button and lights electronics come on but engines doesn't start. Thought key fob was too far so I brought it like 3 inches away from the button and nothing after turning it on off like 10 times it finally started. Had this happen like 5 times in 3 months

Sorry you are having the directional blink in the rear view mirror which I have had since day one on my 2020 GT1; car will be a year old next Saturday.
After two replacement mirrors, the blinking continues and at one point, I was told that removing the headliner and replacing a part may work, and I said no thank you to that idea. Never had a problem with my three previous Optimas and any kind of directional blinking in the mirror.
I as well have had the situation where I’m in the car with the fob and I get an error message saying I don’t have the key, but that also occurred in my 2016 Optima SX-L as well a few times.
 
My car has been blessedly (surprisingly) free of electronic annoyances.

I've not heard of this specific pair before. The mirror I could live with, especially if tearing in under the headliner is required to "fix" it. Hah!?

The non start issue I would be on right now. That kind of fundamental failure would signify to me that worse is yet to come. So, get on it and keep us informed, please.

It was quite disappointing having the mirror issue on day 1, but I’m living with it, or I can turn the compass off.
The non-start issue has been a rarity and has even happened on my wife’s 2020 Santa Fe Limited in the past.

The key fob issue has happened to me a couple of times as well and nothing consistent so its hard to determine what may be leading to it. I am still monitoring my situation to see if I can identify a pattern.
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
Yout foot was on the brake right ^_^

Maybe the battery in the fob is low. And at the very least you can turn off the flashing led in the mirror
