Description of the problem	Takata recall. Just prior to a hyundai recall in 5/3/16 for a defective gas tank, my "air bag" light went off. Let me back track . In 5/16, my car began leaking gas underneath. So badly, that one day while passing the fire/police station in norfolk, ma the fire chief and his crew began pursuing me. Stopping me in my driveway, i was told about the leak and was told i would have to surrender my car, it was a "safety hazard to (all)." i presented a aaa membership card. The chief himself called and arranged a tow to a local repair shop. After 2 days, i received a letter from hyundai corporation stating that my "gas tank was faulty" and was subject to a "recall". Imagine the timing on that? The national office of hyundai sounded just great on the phone. But when my mechanic said he would not touch the car for fear of complicating the warranty, no one including hyundai would send anyone to tow the car. At my personal peril, i drove to the nearest dealership. As i approached the reception area, all remaining gas gushed out of my car. I was given a beautiful current hyundai to drive as a loaner car; i needed that car for 2 months. When the dealership called to tell me my car was "ready", their advisor issued 2 pages of problems allegedly existing and tried to sell me a new car. I have since had someone else look at my car; none of those problems exist. When i picked up my car from the dealer, i also asked their advisor "why hyundai hadn't fixed the air bag light?" over the 2 mths they had my car. I was told that "hyundai didn't use takata air bags." however, numerous friends of mine driving other models of hyundai have received recalls citing the "takata airbag recall." my passenger air bag is defective. The dealer told me "the bag alone would cost $800. Buy a new car!" what is going on here?
