Reported at 120,000 miles, September 2016 CrashInjury

This vehicle started showing issues with key fob not working - gas gauge not accurate next cruise control light on also check engine light pointing to bad fuel pump sensor units - I've researched this and this is known issue - my car has only 70 k miles on it and huyndai refuses to do fix as this is not a recall and car is out of warranty - I say this is known issue and huyndai should cover this as a recall - vehicle is now unsafe and can shut off at any time during driving.... Serious safety issue.
