Just purchased this vehicle off a lot two days ago and ran a VIN to see if its all legit after I get it home. Two recalls came up and on one it states no remedy for the seat belts and neither one has been taken care of, where does this leave me at and what do I need to do, I paid cash money for this car and only two days this shows up, can the car dealer be held responsible?
I was driving on a 2 lane hwy, cajalco rd. In riverside county California driving about 50 mph suddenly the car loses all power and stalls out. The vehicle would no longer start. I check engine oil levels where normal. Had to have the car towed to the nearest dealer and I am waiting Hyundai response to how this will be fixed.
I received a letter regarding about safety recall 160, regarding front seat anchor and extended warranty txx7, for motor driven power steering coupling.I also want to mention that the car has has had a weird "clan noise" that I think comes from the near when it is in motion or sometimes even after it is parked. I have taken the car 2 times for this to be checked, but apparently, they don't know what it is, because it is happening, every time more noticeable.I worry that this could be a dangerous making the car to malfunction. I wish this matter could be solved.

I'm not happy with my Hyundai Sonata 2013, my first recall was my seatbealts and my current second recall is about a malfunction in the engine. I drive everyday with 2 little kids in the car I do not feel safe anymore. I do hear a weird sound when I press on the brakes.. I would like to see what are my options are if I can get a replacement car because I find this so unfair, unsafe and time consuming for the second time

Was recently in a car accident on 7/15/15 driving my Hyundai. I was on the freeway at a complete stop in the exit lane. The other driver was going freeway speed (60/65) and I was rear ended, pushed into the car in front of me, my car spun and I was hit again on the drivers side and through all this, none of my airbags went off. I am now recovering from hitting my head on the steering wheel, back and neck problems.,safety was one of the main reasons we bought the car. Updated 09/14/15
