Description of the problem | I took my vehicle to wilson hyundai for the recalls to be corrected. I was also having issues with an air bag light and a clicking noise in the steering wheel. I received a call telling me my steering column needed to be replaced because there was a short in the sensors to a module. I was then told that the sensor to my passenger seat had malfunctioned and that i needed to replace the entire bottom portion of the seat. They were wanting to charge me over $6,000. 00 to repair these two issues. There are recalls on both of these issues: nhtsa 15v100000 addresses issues with the steering and the fix does not include or require the replacement of the entire steering column. The solution for this recall is to reprogram the computer. This does not address the clicking noise in the column where a gear/cog disintegrates over time.... A $12. 00 part is estimated to cost over $500 in labor to replace. The issue with the air bag malfunctioning is addressed in 2009 hyundai elantra air bags: frontal: sensor/ control module nhtsa campaign #11v143000. I am being told that this issue is only for certain 2007-2009 elantras manufactured before nov 1, 2008. My vehicle was manufactured april 30, 2009 so they dont want to fix the problem even though it is the exact same problem addressed in recall. I would greatly appreciate it if you would look into this matter and expand the manufacturing date to address those of us who own a 2009 manufactured after november 1, 2008 hyundai elantras whose air bags are malfunctioning. |
