Hi, my daughter has an 02 Hyundai Elantra GLS. I brought the car in to our local torrington CT, dealer who performed "two recalls" but not the one needed because it isn't showing up as a recall. My VIN# is [xxx]and the recall I am looking to have done is number 088 which is listed everywhere from motor trend to automotive. Com as the exact problem on my daughters vehicle for 2001 and 2002 Elantras. They only have recall 080125 listed which was completed. This is a very serious problem because neither air bag will work. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
Car involved in a collison, air bags failed to open, driver injured, car struck on passenger side, car was a total lost.

Several weeks ago, I filed a complaint on this site 10049365. I have seen no responses of any type. Now to take that complaint a step further. Many of the problems that I have encountered with this Hyundai death trap,and the unwillingness of hma to look into the problems ,or the dealers to rectify the problems is well documented on this web site. As I mentioned in my previous complaint, I went through the lemon law process in my state. They require arbitration with the bbb autoline. The arbitration was a joke and the hma representative accused my wife of driving the vehicle as a commercial vehicle and put all of the car woes on her. She drives the car for work, mostly highway. Also, the arbitrator accused us of having a tow hitch on the car, which is legal, but not recommended. Well, we have no trailer or hitch. The bbb autoline is rigged against the consumer and they should not associated with any state or federal laws whatsoever. Hyundais of this model are certain death traps and I feel that the federal government should order hma to repair everyone of them now. The consumer is stuck between a global conglomerate and local dealers who will not repair these vehicles.
