| Description of the problem | I purchased this vehicle from used dealer in march 4,2016 despite not wanting to but had little choice after dealer sold the car i put money down on that day for cash while i wad retrieving the last document she sent ne home for when,i returbedvmy car was gone and the car in stuck in now is this hyundai with a very shaky front end that rattles and literally skips off the road into the shoulder if in not very careful ,my mechanic days its the strut on driver side ,additionally the air bag light stays onbat all times and i just failed a safety inspection foe this vehicle and can not be allowed to drive fir lyft or number until its repaired i already had to fix brake lights tires battery and other safety issues on this car in addition to 1400 in air conditioning system estimates to,learn it was merely a electrical connection to the compressor as it appears to be the case fir dozens of others with no cold air on this car model see axil adaddicrepair comments on 2005 hyundai santa fe ac blowing hot air. So im very upset hyundai will not even look to see why my air bag light is on despite a known,issue with air bags and it being recalled . My vin number doesn't show a recall open however i feel as long as i am driving it and the issues remains unresolved. I am at serious risk if the air bag is defective or the fact it remains on all the tine and when there's a passenger in the front seat the passenger bag off light appears. |
