A few months back I began noticing that my check engine light came on. Would take 10- 15 mins to fill up gas tank. Sensor was triggered every few seconds, suggesting gas tank was full, but it was not. Took it to the dealer and was told there was nothing wrong with the car. With in the last month I have been noticing that rear automatic locking seat belt is not staying locked. Child car seats do not stay secured. Car occasionally stalls when started, and air bag light does not illuminate to determine if air bag will deploy or not.

I purchased my car about 3 months ago. Not long after purchase, the engine line lit up. I noticed when this happened the RPM's dropped and the car would sputter. I had a mechanic look at it. He checked the car by computer and felt it needed 2 sensors. I let him replace these. 2 days after the repair the same issue began occurring again. This time, when I stopped as for a traffic light, the car would stall, all warning lights would go on, and it would take a couple of tries to start. Also, I purchased this car at arnold hyundai in roseville, mi. They went out of business not long after I purchased the car. I took the car to another mechanic and they could find nothing wrong. I took the car to a hyundai dealer. They thought a guide wire had come loose and repaired it. A couple days later the car was having the same problems. I took it to the dealership on december 22. They did a thorough inspection and said there is a leak in the vacuum system? Also a problem with the exhaust. I'm wondering has there been a recall on this system or do have some sort of recourse?
