2004 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

THE AIR BAGS LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON MEANING THE MODULE IS NOT FUNCTIONING. I HAD THE CAR INSPECTED AND IT FAILED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. RECORDS SHOW A RECALL WAS REGISTERED IN 05. WELL HERE IT IS 10 YEARS LATER AND THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED AND SOMETHING OVERLOOKED. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD REGARDING MY LIFE AND OTHERS AS WELL NOT KNOWING IF THESE AIR BAGS DEPLOY OR NOT WHILE I'M ON THE ROAD. I NEED THIS RESOLVED QUICKLY. THEY NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME SO WHY'S IT HAPPENING AGAIN? *TR

AROUND JULY OF 2008 I NOTICED THE CLEAR COAT ON THE ROOF,TRUNK,AND FENDERS START TO DELAMINATE. THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 100,000 MILES AND WAS WAXED EVERY SIX MONTHS OR SO. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MY CAR WHICH IS BLACK, UNTIL I SAW THREE MORE CARS OF THE SAME COLOR DO THE SAME IN THE EXACT SAME SPOTS. IS THIS NORMAL FOR THE CLEAR COAT TO PEEL OFF OR NOT AT 4 YEARS OLD AND LESS THAN 100,000 MILES? *TR

I HAVE THE CAR CHECKED DIAGNOSTICALLY AND THEY SAID THE 02 NEEDED CHANGING AND NEW P;LUGS / WIRES. THE WIRES/ PLUGS ARENT DUE FOR ANOTHER 30K MILES WE THOUGHT, AND THE CAR RUNNING FINE! WAS WAITING TO HAVE THIS SERVICE DONE AS WE WERE GIVEN A $613.00 QUOTE! IN MEANTIME THE CHECK LIGHT WENT OFF AND CAR RUNNING FINE! IT HAD JUST HAD THEOIIL CHANGED AND A NEW AIR FILTER WHEN THIS OCCURED, AND NEW GAS. IT SEEMED WHEN THE CAR WAS ALMOST OUT OF GAS( I LET IT RUN LOW) I PUT A BETTER GRADE FROM ANOTHER STATION AND THIS IS WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF!
