| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2012 hyuandai azera in july 2012, the car has only 30,000 miles the vehicle has been garage kept and well maintained. Two week ago i noticed the dash was splitting around the area where the air bag is located (passenger side). Took the car to route 60 hyundai, service manager sad they wouldn't cover under extended warranty, however it would cost $2,600. 00 to repair, the part is $1,600. 00 labor is $1,000. 00. I don't have that kind of money. This defect was a problem in the 2008 model of azera, it is a design flaw and should be covered. What if this airbag deploys while i'm driving? There is a reason this area is weak and splitting around the airbag poor design or workmanship..... |
