I have a 2014 hyundai santa fe. On 5/27 while i was driving the car with my 3 year old inside the car it stalled. The stall happened immediately after i completed a left turn and was going 10 mph and under. It started with me not feeling any acceleration as i pushed down on the gas pedal.

My airbag light has been on in my vehicle. I took it to the dealer today, and they diagnosed it as a clock spring problem. They said my airbag is not safe (may not deploy). They said there is no active recall, but i did a little research and found out the older santa fe, veracruz, sonata and elantra all have recalls for this exact same problem. It is clearly a hyundai problem and they need to issue a recall for the…
