Power Train · at 80,000 miles · reported Jun 30, 2018
Clutch recall, powertrain recall, master cylinder recall, slave cylinder recall. When driving my car after a week of purchasing the car I pushed the clutch pedal to the floor to shift, and the pedal did not come back up.

When turning the car back on in neutral the car turned on, but would not shift to first it would push itself forward and die. Trying to start the car in first would take off but you could only put it back to…

My car turn on the air bag, all the time, I take to the dealer until the warranty was active, after the third year they said that this don't have no more warranty, the air bag light steel on all the time.
Air Bags · at 137,000 miles · reported Aug 2, 2016
My wife was in a rear end accident at approximately 30 MPH, air bags did not deploy, air bag light is on. My wife got whiplash from the accident. Reading similar complaints, I'm almost glad the air bags did not deploy because her injury could have been worse. Hyundai needs to fix the issue with their air bags immediately.
