i just bought a hundai santa fe 2005 that was not in any condition to be old by a used car dealer who pulled a fast one on me but the issue is the air bags isn't working it has a short in the ignition system requiring it to be jumped 2/5 times the horn doesn't work and seat belts in back seat are not working the drivers brake light doesn't work yet the fuse is good and bulb replaced , This vehicle was just bought and the dealer promised to check out the front end fix battery and other issues like the non worling ac that was a mandatory requirement and promised to me that it worked yet everytime I try to get it dealt with Im told its not their responsibility yet now I see nearly every issue with this car is listed in the recall list or other service bulletins despite a clean vin history , apparently there is missing information and I cant find it which is making e feel unsafe and robbed for a car i must pay for but cant drive or am in danger of being killed or hurting someon
