2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA CAR STARTED STALLING AT RED LIGHTS AND WHEN STOPPING. ALMOST CRASHED TWICE. IT STARTS BACK UP. IT STARTED 10\12\20. IT HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH CODE P3006. ABOUT 20 MILES IT WENT OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. A LOT OF PEOPLE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. IT NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED.

AIR BAGS
ON MONDAY WHEN I STARTED MY CAR I REALIZED MY AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD WAS ON ALERTING ME THAT MY AIRBAGS ARE DEACTIVATED AND WON'T DEPLOY. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER DEPLOYED. IT IS UNSETTLING THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND WITHOUT AIRBAGS BECAUSE I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY OVER 100$ TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO RECALL EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS NOT THE FIRST HYUNDAI TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THE LIGHT EPS , (ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING) RANDOMLY TURNS ON AND MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD BE STIFF AND I NEED TO PUT GREAT EFFORT TO TURN.
