Due to the recall of the ABS fuse I believe it has caused a electrical short and that's why my junction box does not work, also I had problems with slow acceleration almost causing me to get hit.

Once I am driving on the highway the car seems to loose power almost like if the car wants to shut off the rmp goes low then the check engine light has turned on. I have taken it for its service on time and no issues but the good year rep told me the error code they received was P0326 which is the knock sensor and now the engine light went away but it has happened twice so far within the last two months.

Takata recall: I had took my car into the dealership multiple times while it was under warranty because it gets stuck when shifting gears and won't pick up the power when accelerating. While the on the highway it drives horrible and the steering is unpredictable. Each time that I took it into the hyunadai dealership they can't figure out what wrong with it. While it was still under warranty I did take it to other places to see what they would say and they all noticed the issue and stated that it appears that it's with the transmission. I did contact hyuandai directly and they refused to fix the problem and now the car is out of warranty and I am screwed!
