TAKATA RECALL.. FOR SOME REASON MY BRAKE LIGHTS TURN ON WITHOUT ME PRESSING THE BRAKES EVERYTIME THAT HAPPENS MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS ON ME IVE HAD TO CHANGE MY DISK AND CALIBER ON MY CAR IN ONLY A WEEK 3 TIMES BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON ITS BEEN SCRATCHING MY BRAKES AND ROTORS AND IT MESSED UP A BRAND NEW ROTORS AND CALIBER MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A WEEK NOW BECAUSE IM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE NOT EVEN THE MECANIC KNOWS WHATS WRONG WITH IT (THIS IS THE LINK TO IMAGES (HTTPS://PHOTOS.APP.GOO.GL/3XCWPXP4T7QRVPLQ8)

FOR SOME REASON MY BRAKE LIGHTS TURN ON WITHOUT ME PRESSING THE BRAKES IT DOES IT THEN IT STOPS AND ACTS NORMAL THEN IT DOES IT AGAIN MEANWHILE IM ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STERRING WHEEL I HAD IT CHECKED A COUPLE TIMES AND EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE IT HAS FLUIDS BUT IT GETS STUCK WHILE IM DRIVING AND NOT ABLE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL IT GETS LOCKED WHILE IM DRIVING IT HAPPENS ALOT WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS STARTS ACTING UP I COULD BE IN A HIGHWAY OR I CAN BE IN THE STREETS ITS STARTING TO ANNOY ME

RECEIVE AN RECALL ON MY VEHICLE CONCERNING BRAKES LIGHTS, BUT I BOUGHT THE CAR ON THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2007 AND THE DEALER NO LONGER EXIST. WHAT CAN I DO IN SUCH A CASE TO CORRECT THE DEFAULT.

VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE. BRAKE LIGHTS DIDN'T ILLUMINATE. VEHICLE TOWED TO LOCAL GARAGE, WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS DEFECTIVE. 30 MINUTES AND $80.00 LATER THE PROBLEM WAS REMEDIED. HYUNDAI HAS HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS OF THEIR BRAKE LIGHT SWITCHES, BUT EACH TIME THE APPLY THE RECALL TO A VERY NARROW SELECTION OF MODELS, OF WHICH THIS AFOREMENTIONED VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED. STRANDING A 19 Y/O GIRL IN A DARK PARKING LOT AT 9:30 AT NIGHT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A LESS FAVORABLE OUTCOME. HOW MANY OTHER UNFORTUNATES SUFFER BECAUSE OF A FAILURE ON THE PART OF HYUNDAI TO STEP UP AND FIX AN INEXPENSIVE PART.

RIM OF AT LEAST ONE TIRE HAS DISINTEGRATED TO THE POINT OF A HOLE THAT LETS THE AIR OUT OF THE TIRE. A THROUGH HOLE IN THE BODY OF THE RIM.

I WAS TRAVELING (AND LIKELY SLIGHTLY BRAKING) ON A HIGHWAY OFF-RAMP WHEN I SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. IT FELT LIKE THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SEIZED UP, AND THEN THE STEERING COLUMN AND DASH STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND THE CAR FISH-TAILED AROUND. I CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE BARRICADE AND ENDING UP FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC -- WHICH COULD HAVE KILLED ME AND THE DRIVER OF THE ONCOMING VEHICLE, WHO ALSO ENDED UP CRASHING. WEATHER / VISIBILITY AND ROAD CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AND DRY, AND THERE WERE NO APPARENT O STRUCTIONS IN THE ROADWAY. AFTER THE CRASH, THE WHEELS MOVED NORMALLY AGAIN AND LOOKED UNAFFECTED.

"AIRBAG" INDICATOR CAME ON WHEN VEHICLE WAS STARTED UP AND DIDN'T GO OUT. HAS BEEN ON FOR 3 MONTHS. THIS 2006 ACCENT THAT HAS THROWN THE B1448 CODE (OC SENSOR MAT DEFECT). A RECALL FOR THE HYUNDAI SONATA (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V161000) WHICH USES THE SAME COMPONENTS IN IT'S AIRBAG SENSORY SYSTEM HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR SAME CODE. SIMILAR COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED FOR THE ACCENT ON THIS SITE AND ARFC.ORG. REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENT OF THE SENSOR RANGE FROM $800 - $1100. NOT ISSUING A RECALL FOR ALL VEHICLES USING THE SAME FAULTY COMPONENTS AS THE RECALLED SONATA IS COMPLETELY IMMORAL. RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED.
