1 Seats problem

Failure Date: 11/28/2018

Seat: in August 2019, while my son was driving my car with both hands on the steering wheel and me in the front passenger seat on a city street the driver seat back started to fold forward to the point my son was screaming and scared not knowing what was happening he had to make an abrupt exit off the road into a parking lot we were passing. Once safely parked he pulled the latch on the side that controls the seat back and made the seat go back into place. Now as of may 2020, the seat will only go backwards and is stuck in that position and will not go forward at all. Suspension: I have had this car since the beginning of April 2014, I have had the suspension done I know at a minimum of 5 times to date, the last being 7/2/2020 and currently being told it needs to be fixed again!!!!!! this is ridiculous!!! engine: the check engine alert comes on every time I cut the car on for the last 2 years or so. Each time it was taken to the mechanic and the error code came up the same so I paid to get the issue fixed to no avail. The check engine alert continues to come on and I was told it is a sensor malfunction. Air bag icon: this has been on for the past year and I was told yet again that it is a sensor malfunction.

6 Seats problem

Failure Date: 06/13/2010

While driving our 2006 Hyundai Azera on route 81 south the drivers seat started moving forward on it's own. I could not stop it. The seat pinned me against the steering wheel. Also the back of the seat also move forward and essentially pinned me against the steering wheel. I could not get the seat to go back for about a minute and a half. I got the seat to reset and it did the same thing a couple minutes later. This is very dangerous and only the fact that I am a very experienced driver avoided a catastrophic high speed accident. Fuccillo Hyundai of syracuse replaced the switch and charged us $ 202. 56 I contacted Hyundai corporate and reported what had happened and requested reimbursement they refused saying the car had 109000 miles on it; I believe that this is a latent safety defect and this should be fixed at no charge. You need to remember that I could not stop the seat from moving no matter how many times I tried to activate switch. The only way I could stop the seat from pinning me against the steering wheel was to remove the fuse.
