| Description of the problem | Air bag light stays on in the dash (driver side). It will not go off. I was told that if that light stays on, my air bags are shut off and will not deploy if there is an accident. I was told that there was a class action suit concerning the airbags, but was told that the suit was only for the passenger side lights. I am told one thing by the dealer concerning the airbags (automax hyundai of killeen (254-699-2629), and another by the hyundai motor america (case # 6050686 telephone 1-877-277-0012). I am driving around now with no functional air bags, and this to me is a serious highway safety factorall i want is for my air bags to become functional again and me not having to pay for something that is supposed to be good for over 100,000 miles according to the american safety board. Thanking you in advance for your assistance, because i am sure not getting it from hyundai or the dealer. Again thank you.
