| Since i bought my car, it randomly opens the trunk by itself without pushing any button on the dashboard or on the remote control. one time, i almost drove back into a car passing by, because my rear view was blocked by opened trunk. i am afraid that my trunk may open while i am driving by itself or run into another car because my view was blocked by this trunk. i have four videos of my trunk being opened by itself, but hyundai's distric parts and service manager is refusing to fix my problem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqudghgozug http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzcbox7oinu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ze2aspwh_0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew3df_vs954. *tr | |||

| This was the date of the first incident, another incident happened three months later. we were just driving along and the air suspension system failed and the whole car, mostly the front dropped a number of inches, we could barely drive home and had to have vehicle towed, seems to be a very unsafe item. the first time it was the passenger side, second time it was the driver side.i contacted hyundai, and wanted them to buy back the vehicle, as i have had numerous other small issues go wrong, but this suspension problem feels very unsafe and actually makes me concerned when i drive,they refused to buy it back. *tr | |||
