SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS
THE AIR BAG LIGHTS ON DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE STAY ON TO LET YOU KNOW THE AIR BAGS DO NOT WORK. WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE TENSION SENSOR WIRING HARNESS CLIP. THE PROBLEM HAS MANIFESTED ITSELF AGAIN. I HAVE TALKED TO THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY WILL NOT OFFER ANY HELP OR SOLUTIONS SINCE THE ITEMS WERE REPLACED UNDER THE EARLIER RECALL. I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $408. HYUNDAI TOLD ME TO MAIL IN THE RECEIPT ONCE THE ITEM IS REPAIRED AND THEY MIGHT CONSIDER MAKING SOME SORT OF "GOODWILL" REIMBURSEMENT. I AM FRUSTRATED WITH THEIR RESPONSE AND DISAPPOINTED AT HOW THEY HAVE RESPONDED TO A KNOWN DEFECT. *TR

AIR BAGS
AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON IN THE DASH (DRIVER SIDE). IT WILL NOT GO OFF. I WAS TOLD THAT IF THAT LIGHT STAYS ON, MY AIR BAGS ARE SHUT OFF AND WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT CONCERNING THE AIRBAGS, BUT WAS TOLD THAT THE SUIT WAS ONLY FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE LIGHTS. I AM TOLD ONE THING BY THE DEALER CONCERNING THE AIRBAGS (AUTOMAX HYUNDAI OF KILLEEN (254-699-2629), AND ANOTHER BY THE HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA (CASE # 6050686 TELEPHONE 1-877-277-0012). I AM DRIVING AROUND NOW WITH NO FUNCTIONAL AIR BAGS, AND THIS TO ME IS A SERIOUS HIGHWAY SAFETY FACTORALL I WANT IS FOR MY AIR BAGS TO BECOME FUNCTIONAL AGAIN AND ME NOT HAVING TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD FOR OVER 100,000 MILES ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN SAFETY BOARD. THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE, BECAUSE I AM SURE NOT GETTING IT FROM HYUNDAI OR THE DEALER. AGAIN THANK YOU.

I HAD ABS FAILURE LIGHT ON AUG 27TH, 2013. WHEN I CHECKED WITH MY FRIEND, I FOUND OUT HE HAS THE SAME ISSUE IN HIS CAR. WE BOTH PURCHASED THE SAME TYPE OF CARS FROM THE SAME DEALER IN APRIL 2008. THE WARRANTY EXPIRED JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO. THE TIMING OF THE ISSUE IS PUZZLING TO ME. HOW COME BOTH CARS HAVE ABS SYSTEM FAILURE DURING THE SAME WEEK? *JB

AIR BAGS
AIR BAG LIGHTS ON DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE STAY ON TO LET YOU KNOW THE AIR BAGS DO NOT WORK. WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE TENSION SENSOR WIRING HARNESS CLIP AND WE STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE TALKED TO THE MANUFACTURER AND HIGHWAY SAFETY AND THEY WILL NOT OFFER ANY HELP OR SOLUTIONS. WE DO NOT FEEL IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE AIR BAGS AT A HIGH COST WHEN THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN USED, YET THEY WILL NOT WORK IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. WE ARE FRUSTRATED WITH HOW WE HAVE BEEN TREATED AND ARE SHOCKED AT HOW IRRESPONSIBLE HYUNDAI IS. WE WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM THEM AGAIN. STILL WAITING FOR THEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM AND DO THE RIGHT THING!. *JB

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SEATS
BOUGHT MY HYUNDAI IN FOR PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR AND WAS TOLD ALL MY COMPLAINTS WERE THE WAY THE CAR WAS BUILT AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE ABOUT IT... FIRST MY TRUNK DOESN'T OPEN ALL THE WAY ANSWER BECAUSE THERE IS NO MOTOR BUILT INTO THE TRUNK FOR IT TO OPEN ON THAT MODEL CAR. SECOND WHEN REAR WINDOW IS OPEN IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO FALL APART VERY LOUDLY AND NOISILY BUT THAT IS NORMAL FOR THE WAY IT IS BUILT.. SUGGESTED BY SERVICEMAN EITHER OPEN FRONT WINDOW SO THE NOISE SHOULD LESSON, BUT DID NOT, THEN KEEP REAR WINDOWS CLOSED AT ALL TIMES. USING TO MUCH GAS THEY TESTED IT AND STATE IT CLOCKS IN AT 33 MPG. YET EVERYWHERE ONLINE IT STATED IT GETS 29 MPG AT THE MOST, SO HOW IS IT GETTING 33? 33 MPG MY CAR DOESN'T EVEN GET 29 MPG ARE YOU KIDDING ME 33 MPG IS WAY THE SALESMAN TOLD ME IT WAS BUT NEVER WAS... UNLESS YOU ARE LOADED WITH MONEY DON'T BUY THIS GAS GUZZLER!!!! OR THIS LOAD VEHICLE UNLESS U KEEP THE WINDOWS CLOSED!! *TR

SEATS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR IS LOCKED, PARKED AND NO ONE IS IN IT. THE BACK RECLINING PORTION OF THE DRIVERS WILL MOVE TOWARDS THE STEERING WHEEL BY ITSELF. I WILL MOVE IT BACK TO POSITION AND BEGIN TO DRIVE. THE SEAT WILL MOVE ON ITS OWN TOWARD THE STEERING WHEEL, SMASHING ME. I HAD TO REMOVE THE HEADREST JUST TO HAVE SOME ROOM. I WILL KEEP MY HAND ON THE SEAT CONTROLS AND TRY TO MOVE IT BACK INTO ORIGINAL POSITION. SOMETIMES THIS WORKS BUT MOST OF THE TIME WILL NOT LET ME MOVE IT. WHILE THIS IS GOING ON, MY SEAT BELT IS ALSO GETTING VERY TIGHT AND UNCOMFORTABLE. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN AND SOME HAVE SEEN IT WHILE NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR. THE BACK OF THE DRIVERS SEAT JUST MOVES TOWARD THE STEERING WHEEL. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. IF I CANNOT GET THE SEAT TO RETURN TO POSITION I AM UP AGAINST THE AIR BAG, WHICH ALSO SCARES ME. IF I HAD AN ACCIDENT WHILE ALL THIS IS GOING ON, (AND THIS IS VERY FRIGHTENING FOR ME), THE AIR BAG WOULD DEPLOY AND IT WOULDN'T BE GOOD, I AM SURE. THIS IS SOMETHING I HEAR ABOUT ON THE NEWS, AIR BAGS KILLING SOMEONE. I REALLY NEED SOME ASSISTANCE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND POSSIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
REAR SUNSHADE STUCK MID-WAY THROUGH CYCLE. POSITION OF THICK RETAINING PLASTIC SEVERELY OBSTRUCTS DRIVER'S VIEW. BUTTON UNRESPONSIVE, BUT CAN HEAR MOTOR GRINDING WHENEVER PUTTING CAR IN REVERSE (REAR SUNSHADE DOES NOT MOVE AND STUCK IN THIS POSITION). FURTHERMORE, ONCE PARKED AND OFF THE ROAD, NO AMOUNT OF MANUAL FORCE RETRACTS THE SUNSHADE INTO ITS RETRACTED POSITION. DRIVER MUST CONTINUE DRIVING IN THIS PRECARIOUS AND LIMITED-VIEW SCENARIO. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING FROM A PARKING LOT, STOPPED AT A FEW STOPPED SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS, AND WHEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 30 MPH, I NOTICED THE CAR WOULD NOT SPEED UP BEYOND THE SPEED I WAS DRIVING. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT REV UP MORE THAN 1.5K - 2KRPM. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE. STOPPED THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR BUT IT WOULD NOT SPEED UP TO MORE THAN ROUGHLY 10 MPH. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE AGAIN SINCE THERE WERE VEHICLE APPROACHING BEHIND ME. I TRIED TO RESTART THE 3RD TIME, AND THE ENGINE STARTED UP WITH SOME HESITATION. AFTER MAKING SURE I COULD GET THE ENGINE TO REV UP TO MORE THAN 5KRPM, I PULL OUT AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR. NO ENGINE CHECK CODE WAS DISPLAYED. *TR
