 Cruise control was activated at 60 mph when applying brakes to avoid an accident, but consumer lost control of vehicle and hit retainer wall head-on. vehicle still maintained 60 mph, and brakes did not deactivate cruise control. eventually, vehicle stopped after consumer turned it off. passenger's side air bag did not deploy/ seat belt did not lock up, and cruise control would not deactivate. *ak

 The brakes on this vehicle have squealed since the first few months after i bought the car. i had learned to live with it. i keep my windows up and radio on so i can't hear them squeal. lately, though, they have become louder and more constant. i haven't gone to the dealer with a new complaint, because they assured the last 2 times i complained that there was nothing wrong and that's just hyundai brakes. they'll stop you, but they are loud! whatever, surely there is something that can be done. i have friends with other types of hyundai's and their brakes don't do this. mr

 The transmission sensors have been replaced several times, i have also complained about transmission problems which dealer stated didnt exist until it went out completely. my biggest problem is with my brakes, they fail from time to time while driving, i once hit a parked car because i had no brake pressure when depressing brake pedal and pumping. has also happened while in traffic almost causing an accident numerous times, yet dealer says there is nothung wrong with my brakes, i have brought this up everytime i bring my car in for all the other repairs. my airbag wiring is faulty and has been replaced 3 times which i feel is a serious safety issue. my engine stalls occasionally in mid traffic for no apparent reason, yet the recalled part that caused this has been replaced. dealer offers no explanation and says car is fine.*ak
