| 2006 | AIR BAGS | RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HYUNDAI IN 2010 ADVISING OF DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT BELT SENSOR WIRING WHICH IF BECOMES DAMAGED WILL CAUSE THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. IF THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH. ON 07/21/2010 THIS WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY THE DEALERSHIP. ON 01/26/12 THE AIR BAG WARNING ILLUMINATED I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY AS IT HAD ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED. ON O4/12/12 I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE REPAIR MADE AND WAS THEN TOLD THE THE PROBLEM WAS IN WAS AN INTERNAL SHORT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT TRACK. HYUNDAI IS CLAIMING NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR AND STATED THAT IT IS MY PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DETERIOATION OF THE INITIAL RECALL AND SHOUD BE REPAIRED BY HYUNDAI SINCE THE PART WAS DEFECTIVE. *TR |
| 2007 | SEATS | DRIVER SEAT ADJUSTS ITSELF FORWARD 45 DEGREE INCLINE ON MY BACK. UNABLE TO STOP OR PREVENT MOVEMENT WITH KNOBS MADE FOR THIS PURPOSE OF ADJUSTING BACK OF SEAT. THE SEAT INCLINES OR RECLINES 90 DEGREE ANGLE EVEN WHEN CAR IS TURNED COMPLETELY OFF. SEAT EXTENDED BACKWARD ON MY 4 YEAR OLD GRANDSON LEGS WHEN HE WAS PROPERLY SEATED IN A CHILD'S CAR SEAT BEHIND THE DRIVERS SEAT. I HAD TO QUICKLY REACH BACK AND MOVE HIS LEGS TO THE SIDE BECAUSE I COULD NOT CONTROL THE MECHANISM IN THE SEAT. AS A RESULT THE CHILD'S CAR SEAT IS NOT PROPERLY SEATED IN THE SEAT BEHIND THE DRIVERS SEAT BUT I HAD TO PUT IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BACK SEAT. THE SEAT INCLINES INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT MY CONTROL AND REMAINS AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE. THIS PUTS STRAIN ON MY BACK AND PUTS MY BODY TOO CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE AIR BAG. I AM UNABLE TO UTILIZE CORRECT VISUAL TOOLS SUCH AS SIDE, REAR MIRRORS, OR OBSERVE SAFELY THE SURROUNDING OF MY CAR. ANOTHER MAJOR CONCERN IS WHEN TRYING TO ADJUST THE SEAT IT MOVES FORWARD (NOT ABLE TO USE KNOBS TO CONTROL THE TENSION) THE SEAT BELT TIGHTENS AND I HAVE TO UNLOCK MY SEAT BELT FOR FEAR OF IT BECOMING TOO TIGHT PUTTING ALL PASSENGERS IN THE IN DANGER OF INJURY. PLEASE HELP AS I AM RETIRED AND HAVE HAD TO LIMIT THE USE OF A VEHICLE THAT I AM STILL PAYING A NOTE ON. |
