TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE SEAT BELT WARNING CHIME CONTINUED SOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS WHERE THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY IF A CRASH WERE TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,593.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE WHEN STARTING FROM STOP, HESITATES THEN ACCLERATES FAST. SOMETIMES MORE SO LEFT TURN BUT ALSO STRAIGHT AHEAD. ALMOST RAN THROUGH GARAGE DOOR BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. ALSO LAST NIGHT I TRIED TO ACCLERARATE TURNING LEFT FROM STOP SIGN. VEHICLE SCARES ME, THE WAY IT IS WORKING. APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE. THANK YOU. I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN.
