2018 Sonata 2.4 would not start due to cold weather.

The car will:

1. have a super hard brake pedal 2) have everything else turn on including Bluetooth, fan, etc. 3) not crank / click or anything for starting.

Unless the OP has driven an incredible number of miles in just a couple of years, the _Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty_ is still in effect, and will cover repairs for problems 1 & 2.

The _Powertrain Warranty_–that runs for 10 years/100k miles–will cover the resolution of problem #3.

If the car can’t be started, it is even possible that the warranty will cover towing the car to the dealership.
