ENGINE
MY DAILY DRIVER BEGAN TO MAKE A KNOCKING NOISE AND MY DASHBOARD BREAK LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULED SERVICE WITH MY HYUNDAI DEALER. BUT IT DID NOT MAKE THE (2) DAYS WAIT. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE FRONT END BEGAN TO INTERMITTENTLY PULL TO THE RIGHT AS IF THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE WAS BEING TAPPED INDEPENDENTLY. WITHIN MINUTES ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL SHUT OFF AND THE ENGINE STALLED. I DRIFTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE ELECTRICAL DID COME BACK ON BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO CLOSEST HYUNDAI DEALER, WHO SAID THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND ALL THAT WAS AVAILABLE WAS A USED ENGINE WITH 60,000 MILES ON IT AT AN APPROXIMATE COST OF 5,000.00 DOLLARS WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT IT MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL REPAIRS.

AIR BAGS
THERE WAS NO MAJOR OR MINOR INCIDENT THAT WOULD INDICATE AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAGS. AT ABOUT 07/10/20 I BEGAN TO NOTICE MY AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT WOULD LIGHT UP AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES OF DRIVING INDICATING THE DRIVER SEAT AIRBAG WOULD BE INOPERABLE; HOWEVER, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT THAT TYPICALLY IS LIT "OFF" WOULD NOT BE LIT INDICATING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD BE CURRENTLY OPERATIONAL. IN ADDITION I NOTICED THAT WHEN I HAD A PASSENGER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT ("OFF") WOULD NOT BE LIT AS DESIGNED AND MY DRIVER SEAT AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD NEVER TURN ON (INDICATING IT BEING NOT OPERATIONAL.) MOST RECENTLY, ON 07/25/20 I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT THE DRIVER SEAT AIRBAG WOULD BE LIT FROM THE MOMENT I TURN ON THE ENGINE. IT REMAINS LIT FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE DRIVE AND NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SEAT WILL TURN ON OR OFF SPONTANEOUSLY AND HAVING A PASSENGER NO LONGER HAS AN EFFECT ON THE DRIVER SEAT AIRBAG LIGHT.

SUSPENSION
ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC, RUST ON MY COIL SPRING CAUSED IT TO FRACTURE WHILE DRIVING AND PUNCTURE MY TIRE. MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS "CRAZY" BECAUSE THERE WAS A FRESH FRACTURE FROM IT "SNAPPING". I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT SOUNDS JUST LIKE HYUNDAI RECALL #133. THIS RECALL INVOLVED RUSTING OF THE COIL SPRING TO 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRAS IN STATES THAT USE SALT FOR SNOW REMOVAL, SUCH AS MINNESOTA. I LIVE IN MN, SO I CALLED HYUNDAI TO SEE IF MY CAR WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT. I AM WONDERING IF IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERING THERE WERE KNOWN AND SIMILAR ISSUES WITH OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL IN MINNESOTA. IT SHOULD BE NOTED, MY VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN ANOTHER STATE (I THINK LOUISIANA OR MISSISSIPPI) AND WAS NOT BROUGHT UP TO MINNESOTA UNTIL 2013. AFTER WHICH I PURCHASED IT.

AIR BAGS
THE LIGHT APPEARED WITH NO APPARENT CAUSE. WHEN IT INITIALLY CAME ON, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROAD. IT TURNS ON THEN WILL GO AWAY, ONLY TO TURN ON AGAIN. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REQUESTED I COME IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AT $140, AND I WAS ASKED TO DROP THE VEHICLE OFF. ALSO, THIS WOULD ONLY BE FOR THE TEST AND I WOULD BE CHARGED TO FIX THE PROBLEM ONCE DISCOVERED. THIS IS INCONVENIENT AS I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND ONLY ONE VEHICLE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I AM BEING CHARGED FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE NO ACCIDENTS.
