SEATS
DRIVING ON I70. DRIVER POWER SEAT MOVED BACKWARD. WAS ABLE TO STOP MOTION AND RETURN SEAT TO PREVIOUS POSITION USING SWITCH. THE SEAT HAD BEEN MOVING BACK AND THE SEATBACK HAD BEEN TITLING FORWARD WHEN CAR WAS PARKED AND NO IGNITION ON. SEAT HAS SINCE BEEN MOVING BACK WHILE DRIVING MORE OFTEN AND THE SEAT BACK NOW TILTS FORWARD WHILE DRIVING. HAD TO STOP CAR SINCE SWITCH WOULD NOT OVERRIDE THE ACTIONS. HAD THIS CHECKED AFTER FIRST INCIDENT AT DEALER. STATED THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM BUT WOULD PROBABLY REQUIRE COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF DRIVERS SEAT AT ABOUT $2000. HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEM WITH PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS AND SEATBELT. BUCKLES HAVE BEEN REPLACED UNDER A RECALL ON BOTH FRONT SEATS BUT DIDN'T FIX THE AIRBAG PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THINK ABOUT GM KEY PROBLEM. *TR

SEATS
FRONT POWER DRIVER'S SEAT MOVES BY ITSELF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THE SEAT LEANED FORWARD ABOUT 45 DEGREES ITSELF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT TOUCHING THE SEAT SWITCH OR ANY BUMPS ON THE ROAD. THE SUDDEN MOVEMENT OF THE SEAT, WITHOUT ANY KIND OF WARNING, CAUSED COLLAPSING DRIVER'S UPPER BODY TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND PUSHING DRIVER'S HEAD DOWNWARD. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR IN THAT POSITION. DRIVING SPEED WAS NOT RELATED TO THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER IN EL PASO, TEXAS. AT FIRST, THE SERVICE ADVISOR DID NOT BELIEVE MY COMPLAINT, BUT THE SEAT MOVED ITSELF IN FRONT OF HIM, EVEN WHILE THE CAR WAS STOPPED AND NO ONE WAS SEATING ON IT. THE SERVICE ADVISOR RULLED OUT IF THAT WAS SEAT SWITCH PROBLEM AND RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE SEAT TRACK WHICH WOULD COST MORE THAN $2,000. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN I START CAR, IN DAYLIGHT, THE RADIO/GPS SCREEN IS DIM. IF I RESTART CAR THE CAR THE SCREEN COMES TO FULL BRIGHTNESS. ALL TECH PEOPLE AT MILLENNIUM HYUNDAI HAVE SUPPLIED DOCUMENTATION THAT THEY AGREE WITH MY STATEMENT BUT HYUNDAI CORPORATION CLEARLY REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ALL I HAVE ASKED IS THAT IF THIS BECOMES A PERMANENT SITUATION AFTER THE THREE YEAR GUARANTEE THEY WILL FIX IT. *TR

AIR BAGS
A RED LIGHT WARNING ON AIR BAGS CAME ON WHILE TRAVELING. WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS CHECKED BY A HYUNDAI DEALER, THEY REPORTED THAT THE SEAT PODS WERE SHORTED OUT AND THAT THE SEAT PODS NEEDED REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF OVER $1,600. THE CAR MILEAGE WAS 53,000. THE OCS SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY SENT A CONTRACT PERSON TO INSPECT THE PROBLEM. HE INDICATED THAT HE THOUGHT THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS WORKING, BUT COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THE WARNING LIGHT WAS ON, NOR WOULD HE COMMENT ABOUT THE DEALERS FINDING. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE OCS SYSTEM WAS NOT WORKING DUE TO THE SEAT POD MALFUNCTION. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AGAIN WITH THEIR DEALERS FINDING AND REQUESTED THAT HYUNDAI REPLACE THE PART AND I WOULD PAY THE LABOR COST. THEY REPLIED THAT THEIR POSITION THAT THE OCS SYSTEM WAS "OPERATING ACCORDING TO DESIGN" AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE SEAT PODS. IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HYUNDAI"S AIR BAG PROBLEMS, BUT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM OR REPLACE THE FAULTY PART. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. I HAVE KEPT ALL CORRESPONDENCE WITH HYUNDAI ABOUT THE PROBLEM.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS
ALL KINDS OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS LEAST OF WHICH IS THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER QUIT WORKING. THE POWERED PASSENGER SEAT CAN NOT BE MOVED ANY DIRECTION. AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AFTER HITTING A FAIRLY SMALL POTHOLE. AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON FOR A FEW DAYS/WEEKS THEN GOES OFF.PASSENGER SEATBELT INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON SOMETIMES WHILE PASSENGER IS WEARING SEATBELT SOMETIMES THE SAME LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON THEN GOES OFF WITH NO PASSENGER AND NO WEIGHT IN THE SEAT. I HAVE PERSONALLY PAID FOR A NEW BATTERY AND TWO STARTERS WHICH MORE THAN LIKELY DIDN'T NEED REPLACED BECAUSE MY CAR STILL WON'T START AT RANDOM TIMES. I FIRST EXPERIENCED IT NOT STARTING AROUND 79,000 MILES I COULD TELL IT WASN'T THE BATTERY CAUSE I TRIED JUMP STARTING IT AND ALL THE WHILE THE DOOR CHIME LIGHTS AND RADIO ALL WORKED FINE. SO I REPLACED THE STARTER ONLY TO HAVE IT NOT START THE VERY NEXT DAY. ANYWAY A WIRE WAS REPLACED TO THE STARTER AND ALL WAS FINE FOR ABOUT 10,000 MILES AND THE SAME NON STARTING ISSUES OCCURRED AGAIN AND AGAIN. SEEMS LIKE I JUST KEEP TRYING TO START IT AND MAYBE THE 8TH OR 25TH TIME IT STARTS.. RUNNING OUT OF WORDS AND THEY WOULD ONLY LET ME PICK 3 PARTS TO WRITE ABOUT ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH BRAKES CRACKS AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG ON DASH ETC. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS DIM DRASTICALLY WHILE THE CAR IS DOWNSHIFTING WHILE SLOWING TO A STOP. EACH TIME THE CAR DOWNSHIFTS THE LIGHTS DIM. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EVEN SHOWN THEM THE TSB PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE AND THEY HAVE YET TO FIX THIS ISSUE. EVERY TIME I TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THERE IS SOME EXCUSE WHY IT IS HAPPENING AND IT GENERALLY CENTERS AROUND SUPPOSED CORROSION ON THE BATTERY TERMINALS OR I NEED MY BATTERY REPLACED. AFTER CLEANING TERMINALS, REPLACING BATTERY, AND WHATEVER ELSE THEY SUGGESTED, THE HEADLIGHTS STILL DIM. THEY REFUSE TO DO THE FIX AS DESCRIBED IN THE TSB AND SAY THAT EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT FINE AND THERE IS NO NEED TO REPLACE ANYTHING, EXCEPT THE BATTERY WHICH DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT THIS UP WAS IN 2008 AND MULTIPLE TIME PER YEAR SINCE WITH NO RESOLUTION. IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE EVERY YEAR WITH THE AMOUNT OF STRAIN ON THE SYSTEM AND AGING OF THE VEHICLE. I FEAR THAT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE IS GOING TO DART OUT IN FRONT OF ME WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO REACT IN TIME SINCE MY HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT PROJECTING THEIR FULL DISTANCE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. *TR

SEATS
DRIVING ON FREEWAY, DRIVER SEAT LEANED FORWARD AS FAR AS POSSIBLE. IF THE SEAT HAD BEEN POSITIONED FORWARD FURTHER, DRIVER WOULD HAVE BEEN PUSHED AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL! HAPPENED RARELY AT FIRST, THEN BEGAN TO DO IT CONSTANTLY. WHEN SEATBACK IS PUSHING FORWARD THE BUTTONS ARE USELESS. BY CONSTANTLY HOLDING THE BUTTON TO TILT THE SEAT BACKWARDS, EVENTUALLY IT WOULD GO BACK. EVENTUALLY I DISCONNECTED THE FUSE FOR THE ELECTRIC SEAT SO THE CAR WAS USABLE (BUT YOU COULD NOT ADJUST THE SEAT). THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO HAVE HAPPENED ON A DECENT NUMBER OF THESE CARS. SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET FOUND MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. COST TO FIX IS OUTRAGEOUS (BASICALLY NEW SEAT/SYSTEM). *TR

WHEELS:RIM, TIRES
BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V-354, REPAIR WAS MADE BUT THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE TO REAR PASSENGER SIDE RIM AND TIRE. I BOUGHT 4 NEW TIRES BUT THE CAR RODE WITH A VIBRATION. MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT INSPECTED AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE NEW TIRES. NEW TIRES WERE INSTALLED. STILL HAVE A VIBRATION DUE TO THE DAMAGE TO THE RIM WHICH WAS A RESULT OF THE RECALL AND THE LOCAL DEALER HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE SITUATION. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY TO GET SERVICE AT THE DEALER, OIL CHANGE, FUEL INJECTION MAINTENANCE NEW TIRES, MOUNTED, BALANCED AND FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND STILL HAVE ISSUES. ALIGNMENT OFF DUE TO SECOND SET OF TIRES BEING INSTALLED, THE CAR STILL VIBRATES DUE TO DAMAGED RIM. I WILL NOT GET THE MILAGE OUT OF THE TIRES DUE TO THE VIBRATION. I WOULD THINK THAT THE RIM SHOULD BE REPLACED AT NO COST TO MYSELF. I DRIVE 3000 MILES A MONTH, SO FOR MY SAFETY, I STAY UP ON MY MAINTENANCE LIKE I SHOULD. I THINK THE DEALER, RTE 44 HYUNDAI IN RAYNHAM SHOULD TAKE CARE OF MY PROBLEM. I SEEM TO BE GETTING THE RUN-AROUND FROM THEM. HELP *TR
