What owners wrote
I had smelling a gas smell coming from the vents on friday july 19th andi took it to firestone for a new battery and a oil change. I called the hyundai dealership because firestone told me about a new recall for the fire pressure fuel regulator and they highly suggested I take it into them. I called hyundai and they said for me to bring it in and I didn't need an appointment so I told them I would be there around 3-4pm yesterday.
There are open factory recalls on this car and I have not received a letter to fix the deficiencies before it gets to become an issue of potential physical harm on the roadway. Driving down the road the front spring just broke a section off about a foot long, now drives dangerously brakes, transmission, engine, head lamps, suspension
