| Description of the problem | While driving on a busy street it felt like my gas pedal was not responding then without warning it suddenly lurched forward enough to screech my front tires. I do not have a floor mat on the driver's side. Thank god no one was in front of me, surely there would have been an accident. I have also had the air bag light on since the car was new. During hyundai new car service one of the service men noticed and mentioned it, but did nothing to correct the problem and today i got a recall on the air bag system stating i missed the 1st recall. My front passenger seat belt light goes on and off sometimes it is on when someone is in the seat buckled up and sometimes it is on when no one is sitting in the seat. I am taking my car in to hyundai for the recall i am going to mention the lurching and let them know about all these complaints! I believe they are ultimately responsible for these problems!! |
