While driving, the driver seat adjusted causing my seat to move up to the steering wheel. At the time I was on the expressway. I was too terrified to scream, I had to pull over to catch my breathe before I could continue driving to get home. I took my car to Hyundai and the service man stated that it didn't happen when he drove it and that they didn't find anything wrong. I filed a complaint before and never heard anything back. The car seat still adjusts. I don't drive it as much now.

While I was driving on the expressway, my seat came forward bringing me to the steering wheel. Now when I drive I am always adjusting my seat because it still move forward on its own.

I'm the owner of a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe that the engine started knocking and when I opened the hood car was on fire I looked like a movie car blow up bursting glass everywhere I almost died if I didn't stop to look at it.

"takata recall" -the transmission does not engage at the proper times. Headrests make your head bend so far foward your chin is almost touching your chest.
