I was in a car accident in 2019 and my airbags never deployed. Since then, the airbag light has stayed on. I've gone to every mechanic around about my airbag light and they all say I have a recall on the car. I've also been pulled over multiple times over my brake light either not illuminating or staying illuminated while driving.

All 4 brake lines were corroded and leaking break fluid, which prevented the car from stopping when depressing the brake pedal. Mechanic thinks the plastic cover around the break lines may be trapping water and causing corrosion. This is hazardous and unsafe.

My brakes failed in january, and my car hit the garage door. I spent $800 to get them fixed, only to have them fail after five months. Because of this it came to my attention that there was a rear cross member recall for corrosion on my car. To complete the recall, the dealership wants to charge me for all of the rusted parts that will break once they dig to reach the recall. I have been without a car since january, and hyundai corporate declared my case closed and refuses to assist, after weeks of deliberation, they only addressed the problem of my brakes and not the recall, which they completely left out of their final determination. The dealership cannot proceed and complete the recall because many parts they will have to remove will be unusable, and cannot safely be placed back. Things are at a standstill, and I desperately need my car back and operational!

I want to create a safety recall on this vehicle if not other makes and models from this manufacturer. This vehicle is a fire hazard due to chronic corrosion on the fuel lines. It is also a safety hazard due to loss of brakes and steering due to chronic corrosion of the brake and power steering lines. Our 2007 hyundai sonata needed power steering fluid and brake fluid on a regular basis. Most recently we lost brakes and had the car inspected. The inspection determined that the power steering lines, brake lines and fuel lines are severely corroded and all leaking. The brake lines had the most severe corrosion but the fuel and power steering had corrosion deep enough to cause a leak. These leaks are not in the vicinity of fittings or connections. The worst leaks are in the vicinity of brackets or line retainers. This car has been sold and operated in the northeast snow belt but the corrosion is worse than most vehicles that are much older with higher mileage. Clearly the lines were made of inferior metal causing the components to fail prematurely. Apparently, instead of using a more costly rust resistant metal the manufacturer relied on a plastic coating on the lines to protect them from the elements. This completely failed as some of the lines are completely corroded along the entire length. The plastic coating likely accelerated the corrosion as it retained corrosive materials in contact with the metal. I contacted the hyundai dealer and they said that there are no recalls on these components and I would be responsible for all part and labor costs. I opened a case with the manufacturer and they said they would look into it but indicated the car was out of warranty and would not likely pursue a safety recall.

The vehicle would randomly accelerated without warning. During the failure, the rpms would increase and the vehicle would lunge forward. The failure occurred on multiple occasions. The contact would have to apply extra force to the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from accelerating around 70000 on car. It has a jerk when I am accelerating until I get to a faster speed. But it doesn't accelerate on its own.. I was string at a lightor whenever I go to stop it accelerates on its own. Sometimes while I'm driving it seems to pick up speed on its own as well
