| Description of the problem | My santa fe was taken in for service during which time the air bag light was activated. I had it checked by my local hyundai dealer and i was told that the air bag module had failed. I was told that the repair cost was going to be $450. I have already had to spend over $4000 for other repairs on this vehicle and i cannot afford to spend any more. I have read on the internet of numerous complaints of air bag module failures on many different models of hyundai's. Since there have been so many reports of the same problem and it is a safety issue i think that there should be a recall to repair the faulty air bag modules. |
