Has anyone else had this problem? I have a 2005 and after about a year my engine started stalling. I took it to the dealer and they told me it was an O2 sensor problem. They fixed it, supposedly. About 2 months later it started stalling again. This time I was on my way home from work and it stalled and this time I was screwed because I rearended the car in front of me since I had no power stearing or brakes. Not to mention my air bags didn't deploy either. Which I found now has a recall on it. The recall stating a small statured female driving might, not wearing a seat belt (i was but i dont know how the airbag sensor would know if you were or weren't) the airbags dont deploy. Yes the crash was hard enough for the airbag to have gone off, i couldn't even open my car door. Needless to say the insurance company is trying to decide if my car is totalled or not. I am charged with 100% of the accident for something that I couldn't control. If you are considering this car I would strongly consider something else. I have read that I am not the only person who has had this engine stalling problem. I am just thankful it happened when it did and not when I got the car and was taking 4 adults with developmental disabilities into the community. If anyone has ideas on what I can do to let Hyundai know it would be great!

I'd report this incident to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.  The lack of airbag deployment will catch their attention for sure.  Goto:
