2005 Hyundai Sonata

(TAKATA RECALL) I HAD A ACCIDENT ON 1/20/2016. MY AIRBAG DID NOT INFLATION, WHEN THE AIRBAG CAME OUT IT WAS DEFLATED. THE AIRBAG LET OUT CHEMICAL IN MY FACE, EYES, NOSE, THROAT.THE AIRBAG EXPOSURE CAUSE ME EYE TRAUMA, FACE SKIN IRRITATED , AND SINUS INFECTION, HEADACHE . I HIT SOME BLACK ICE ON HIGHWAY 77, THREE MILES BEFORE YOU GET TO NEWBORN, TN. MY CAR SLIDE OF THE ROAD IN TO A DITCH. THE BAG DID NOT CAUSE THE ACCIDENT, BUT IT CAUSE BODY PROBLEMS.

DRIVING FROM DEALER AFTER PURCHASING THIS CAR USED, THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. RETURNED TO DEALER AND WAS "REPAIRED" AND TOLD THAT THEY MUST HAVE LOOSENED THE CONNECTION WHEN THEY VACUUMED THE CAR. SINCE THEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND STAYED ON. TOOK TO MECHANIC, THEY CHECKED THE CODES AND RESET THE LIGHT. THE LIGHT STAYED OFF FOR ANOTHER 6 MONTHS OR SO. THE LIGHT IS BACK ON AGAIN. TOOK TO MY MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS TIME HE COULD NOT RESET THE CODES AND THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE TO HYUNDAII DEALER FOR REPAIR. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS YEAR MODEL, I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SCAM BY HYUNDAII TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY MAKE MONEY OFF OF A CAR THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE DANGEROUS. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON AND I AM DRIVING THE CAR, BUT WILL BE UNABLE TO DO SO WHEN I NEED ANNUAL SAFETY INSPECTION. CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY $1500+ FOR A REPAIR ON A CAR ONLY WORTH ABOUT $4000. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

ELECTRICAL ISSUES BEGAN A MONTH AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE. FRONT AND REAR LIGHT BULBS CONTINUE REQUIRING REPLACEMENT, THE DASH LIGHT ALSO WILL FLASH WHEN BRAKES ARE DEPRESSED. THE TRUNK LEAKED THE FIRST CHRISTMAS, DEALER CLAIMED TO REPAIR IT, BUT FAILED, STILL LEAKS. AIR BAG INDICATOR CAME ON, WENT OFF EVENTUALLY, AND IS BACK ON AGAIN. FINALLY, CAR BEGAN LOSING POWER LAST YEAR AND CUTTING OFF SPORADICALLY IN TRAFFIC, AND NOW THE REAR AND WINDOW BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON WHEN LIGHTS ARE ON BUT NOT WHEN TURNED OFF. RECALL INFO POINTS TO DEFECTIVE STOP BRAKE SWITCH THAT FAILED EVEN AFTER REPAIR/REPLACEMENT, HOWEVER, MY VIN DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE RECALL LIST AND THE DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE. CURIOUS, SINCE MY CAR IS OF THE MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR REPORTED! GREEDY AND IRRESPONSIBLE ! *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN MY OWN LANE WITH MY SEATBELT ON AND LIGHTS ON AND I DIDN'T SEE THIS BUS COMING SPEEDING WITH NO LIGHTS ON AT ALL HE SCRATCHED MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND HE ALL MOST TOOK THE MIRROR OFF I HIT THE BRAKE AND IT SLOWED TO 55 AND I STILL HIT HIM I WAS GOING SPEED LIMIT THE RADIATOR BROKE AND THE CAR ALL MOST EXPLODED ALSO THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF AND THE SPEED MPH WAS ABOUT 5 OFF THE STEERING PUMP ALSO FAILED. I ALL MOST DIED. *TR

THIS IS THE FIRST DATE THAT I REPORTED TO THE DEALER THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON. SINCE THAT TIME, THE LIGHT HAS GONE OFF AND COME BACK ON A MANY TIMES. IT WAS CHECKED AGAIN BY THE DEALER AND ALSO BY A LOCAL, CERTIFIED MECHANIC. IT USUALLY STAYS OFF FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS, BUT COMES BACK ON. IT IS NOW ON AGAIN. IN ADDITION, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE DOOR JAM SWITCH IN JAN. 2014. THE DOOR CHIMES (SEATBELT SOUND) GOES OFF RANDOMLY. NOW, THIS SOUND IS BACK. THE CAR RANDOMLY LOCKS ITSELF AND THE RADIO RANDOMLY GOES ON AS WELL. I FEEL THAT THE CAR HAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT MAY MAKE IT UNSAFE. I AM ESPECIALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIR BAG ISSUE. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 57,000 MILES ON IT. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN RECALLED FOR ANY NUMBER OF REASONS. *TR
