I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT THAT I DRIVE IN DAILY. I WAS MAKING A ROUTINE TURN, AND WHEN I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN FROM 30MPH I GOT TO ABOUT 20MPH AND THEN THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AS WELL AS THE STEERING WHEEL. I DID NOT SLAM ON THE BRAKES SO THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE LOCKED. AFTER THE CAR WENT UP ON A CURB, SEVERAL SECONDS LATER THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THEY DID NOT DEPOLY ON IMPACT.. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I WAS TOLD I HAD ANTI LOCK BRAKES AND NOW I AM TOLD I DON'T HAVE THEM AND THAT IN ITSELF IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THE BREAKS LOCKED UP ONCE BEFORE AND I BROUGHT IT TO HYUNDAI, I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT JUST A SCARE, AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME IT WAS IN MY HEAD. THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND I AM SCARED OF THE BREAKS GETTING ME INTO A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE 4,376 WAS ALL FROM THE ONE ACCIDENT WITH THE BRAKES AND THE AIRBAGS. *AK

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELTS MAY NOT EXTEND AND RETRACT SMOOTHLY THROUGH THE D-RING GUIDES MOUNTED ON THE BODY PILLARS AFT OF THE DOORS. IF THE SEAT BELTS DO NOT EXTEND AND RETRACT SMOOTHLY, THEY MAY TWIST IN THE D-RING GUIDES AND MAKE IT INCONVENIENT TO EXTEND AND RETRACT THE SEAT BELTS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE SEAT BELTS ARE INCONVENIENT TO USE, THE SEAT OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE INCLINED TO WEAR THE SEAT BELTS PROPERLY, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A STOPPER OVER EACH FRONT SEAT BELT D-RING GUIDE TO ASSIST THE SEAT BELT TO SMOOTHLY EXTEND AND RETRACT. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN DECEMBER 10, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT HYUNDAI AT 1-800-633-5151.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE TIRE PRESSURE PLACARD REQUIRED BY FMVSS NO. 110, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS," WAS MISPRINTED. IT INCORRECTLY CONTAINS THE TIRE SIZES, SEATING CAPACITY, AND LUGGAGE CAPACITY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: EXCESSIVE LOADING CAN CAUSE TIRE AND VEHICLE DAMAGE THAT COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE PLACARD AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE SEALS DO NOT REMAIN SUFFICIENTLY ELASTIC, RESULTING IN TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKAGE. THIS LEAKAGE CAN RESULT IN REDUCED PRESSURE APPLICATION TO THE CLUTCHES, BRAKE, AND KICKDOWN SERVO, ALLOWING THEM TO SLIP.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: SUCH SLIPPAGE CAN CAUSE PREMATURE DETERIORATION OF THE FRICTION ELEMENT SURFACES AND COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE NOT TO ACCELERATE, OR NOT ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED, WHEN THE DRIVER PRESSES THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE.
