The red air bag light is always on, and the passenger sensor is always off even when there is a passenger. I am concerned that if I were to be in a serious accident, the air bags will not deploy. This started at about 115,000 miles. The car also recently started to eat up my gas for no valid reason. I drove 1.5 miles, yet used up 10 miles of gas, entirely abiding by traffic laws and signs.

Got car in 2011 in 2015 it stopped working after making loud noises that began with a chirp, found out it was alternator and battery. Had to borrow to fix it it was 700.00 +. 14 months later it did it again, the shop guy was so angry he contacted his parts guy and got another alternator, I had the car towed to joseph's garage and they installed the second alernator! Now its doing it again!!!! I cannot keep doing this. Going to ftc, bbb, and attorney general. Also federal consumer protection.

Car is accelerating by itself, and continues to increase speed after the gas pedal is no longer pressed. This occurs while in motion on city streets, on highways, and when turning. And when stationary or in neutral the rpms will jump by 1500 to 2000 rpms. Is a manual transmission and the rpms jump up 1500+ when shifting gears. Started happening around 55,000 miles dealer reset the ECM which resolved the issue temporarily but came back within 2 weeks, car now has 61,000 miles and has been getting worse.

After starting the engine and tapping on the accelerator, the car will accelerate on it's own and rev up to 1,500-2000 RPM without pressing on the accelerator. Even when braking. Returning the car to neutral causes the engine to rev up to or beyond 2,000 RPM until the vehicle has been turned off. This incident first occurred in april 2016. I was told there was an issue with the sensors by the hyundai dealership. The issue resurfaced again in january 2017. This time they told me it was due to a carbon buildup in the fuel system. Now it's doing it again. I have seen many other reports of this happening to hyndai's on the internet. This is a huge safety issue.
