Description of the problem	Back in april, my santa fe also had the fuel gauge issue. It also began fluctuating wildly and the range computer was all over the place. The dealer told me it was part of the fuel pump and that i had to replace both of them, who knew it had two. It cost me $1,583. 80 to fix. They told me if i didn't fix it, the car could just lose power and we would be stuck on the side of the road. This should definitely be a recall!!!! Now, my santa fe has the air bag light on. There was a recall for this back in 2011, which i definitely received literature from hyundai about it. Yesterday, the dealer first told me that recall didn't exist. Then they told me it didn't apply to my make or model, nor did it apply to my vin. They wanted to charge $350 to fix the clock spring assembly. I refused since i know this was recalled. I'm going to try and contact the corporate office of hyundai about this. In the meantime, i don't have a driver side air bag in the event of an accident. Thanks hyundai. Stay away from hyundai vehicles!!!!
