Car turns off while driving continuesly misfires even after replacing coils and spark plugs check engine light on and flashes car charger port keeps blowing fuses
The red air bag light is always on, and the passenger sensor is always off even when there is a passenger. I am concerned that if I were to be in a serious accident, the air bags will not deploy. This started at about 115,000 miles. The car also recently started to eat up my gas for no valid reason. I drove 1.5 miles, yet used up 10 miles of gas, entirely abiding by traffic laws and signs.
Got car in 2011 in 2015 it stopped working after making loud noises that began with a chirp, found out it was alternator and battery. Had to borrow to fix it it was $700 +. 14 months later it did it again, the shop guy was so angry he contacted his parts guy and got another alternator, I had the car towed to joseph's garage and they installed the second alernator! now its doing it again!!!! I cannot keep doing this. Going to ftc, BBB, and attorney general. Also federal consumer protection.
Car is accelerating by itself, and continues to increase speed after the gas pedal is no longer pressed. This occurs while in motion on city streets, on highways, and when turning. And when stationary or in neutral the rpms will jump by 1500 to 2000 rpms. Is a manual transmission and the rpms jump up 1500+ when shifting gears. Started happening around 55,000 miles dealer reset the ECM which resolved the issue temporarily but came back within 2 weeks, car now has 61,000 miles and has been getting worse.

After starting the engine and tapping on the accelerator, the car will accelerate on it's own and rev up to 1,500-2000 RPM without pressing on the accelerator. Even when braking. Returning the car to neutral causes the engine to rev up to or beyond 2,000 RPM until the vehicle has been turned off. This incident first occurred in April 2016. I was told there was an issue with the sensors by the Hyundai dealership. The issue resurfaced again in January 2017. This time they told me it was due to a carbon buildup in the fuel system. Now it's doing it again. I have seen many other reports of this happening to hyndai's on the internet. This is a huge safety issue.
Around 50000 miles the car would over rev about 1000-2000 RPM when the clutch was released and foot off of the gas. It has progressively gotten worse. Now it will on its own while standing at idle run up to 5000-6000 RPM without warning and the only way to stop it is to turn the car off. When in gear, the car will accelerate without warning. If you depress the clutch, again it will run up to 5000-6000 RPM. The problem becomes exacerbated in warmer weather and lessened in cold weather. During the 12/24 heat wave here in pa, the car was undriveable and dangerous as I could not depend on it not "taking off". the dealer updated the software on 12/22 which did not resolve the issue, and no codes were found in the computer! before 50,000 miles everything was fine.
