Two recalls came up and on one it states no remedy for the seat belts and neither one has been taken care of, where does this leave me at and what do I need to do, I paid cash money for this car and only two days this shows up, can the car dealer be held responsible?
I was driving on a 2 lane hwy, cajalco rd. In riverside county california driving about 50 MPH suddenly the car loses all power and stalls out. The vehicle would no longer start. I check engine oil levels where normal. Had to have the car towed to the nearest dealer and I am waiting hyundai response to how this will be fixed.
I received a letter regarding about safety recall 160, regarding front seat anchor and extended warranty txx7, for motor driven power steering coupling.I also want to mention that the car has has had a weird "clan noise" that I think comes from the near when it is in motion or sometimes even after it is parked. I have taken the car 2 times for this to be checked, but apparently, they don't know what it is, because it is happening, every time more noticeable.I worry that this could be a dangerous making the car to malfunction. I wish this matter could be solved.
