| Description of the problem | I own a 2006 hyundai azera. The air bag warning light was illuminated in the instrument panel. Took it to the dealer may 24, 2013, and was told that the passenger seat sensor needed to be replaced and would cost $500. If i wanted this repaired, they would have to order the part and i was to call them and let them know. Afterward, i looked on your web site and found that there is a recall. Call the dealer and found out that i had the recall done april 17, 2010, and would have to pay for it to be repaired again. It seems to me that hyundai did a temporary fix for this problem. Since consumers have had this problem to recur after the fix, it is obvious that this is just a band aid. The fix doesn't even last five years. Because this will not allow the air bag to deploy, this is a safety issue and hyundai should repair the sensor for as long as the original owner owns the vehicle without charge. |
