What owners wrote
While looking for a parking place, the air bag in the back of the driver side front seat spontaneously deployed, injuring my back and my left knee. My chiropractor got my back somewhat repaired, but my knee ended up having a meniscus tear that has not yet been repaired. Hyundai is willing to replace what my insurance company paid out for medical care and to fix my car. I will be having medical issues for the rest of my life thanks to this air bag incident.
Dt: the end of january 2004 or beginning of february 2004 while in the car it shout off and steering wheel locked. About 30 seconds later the car just started up by itself. Then, in april 2004 the car did this again while driving on the highway. Got a recall 03v030000 notice on this vehicle which stated it would stall in cold damp weather, took vehicle tto he dealer they fixed the problem. . Then in june 2004 while driving in traffic on a sunshine day the car did same thing.
