The thermostat not only allows the normal heat cycle but it also allows the coolant to be able to cool itself before getting returned to the engine block.. If you remove the thermostat then you are not giving the coolant enough time to cool itself before going back into the motor. This will actually make the vehicle run hotter then cooler. I would recommend looking into the lowest temp thermostat available for your vehicle and look for an additive to help cool better..

Sounds like either the battery failed or the there is a loose or corroded battery cable.

This vehicle is still under warranty - take it to the nearest Hyundai Service Dept.

It's not something you can fix yourself - it typically requires special tools and a very specific checklist of things to check in a special order. Driving with the ECS is no more dangerous than driving in a car made before 2005. It simply means that it cannot automatically correct things like driving to fast into a corner or slipping on ice. If you stay out of the "pushing the limit" type driving and treat the car as if it didn't have any kind of electronic nanny controls, you should be fine.

have the disc rotors checked for warpage and bad wear. Check that the wheel bearings are in good condition and properly adjusted. Check pad thickness as you may have metal on metal.

Check the fuse & relay (owners manual will show you where the box is) Relay box in under the hood on the driver side just above the tire. Inside fuse box should be on the side of the dashboard (driver side) very close to the door hinges. I'm pretty sure you popped a relay or fuse during the jump. You can pull the possible bad relay out and grab another relay (borrow it) from something else like brakes or lights.... just make sure it's the same part number. (don't use fuel or engine control or anything that would stop the car from working) Swap them and start the car to see if the AC/blower is working. Hope this helps

HAVE IT REBUILD BY A SERVICE SHOP...CHEAPER THAN BUYING A NEW ONE.
