| Description of the problem | On february 23rd of 2012 i received a clock spring replacement that was under campaign 103-clock spring replacement tsb# 11-01-052 for 2007-2008 santa fe models or 2007-2008 veracruz models. My hyundai santa fe had 42,229 miles on it at this time. The campaign was performed replacing the clock spring with part # 93490-2b300 and paid for under warranty amounting in $0. 00. However, on august 1st of 2013 the air bag light illuminated and the same replacement was performed on my vehicle. The vehicle now has 56,985 miles on it and was scanned for codes and according to paperwork, b1481 and b1332 were found, indicating the failure of the clock spring. The clock spring part # 93490-2b300 was therefore replaced again amounting to $282. 92 for parts and labor. My own extended warranty company now had to pay for this part that in my eyes is a vehicle safety issue and should be proceeded with much concern. In one year a very important part continued to fail which, if not working properly at the time of an accident can cause extreme harm to the driver. This part shouldn't be failing in my eyes unless the air bag has been deployed. I don't see how this part is safe if it has failed a little over a year after being replaced due to a campaign that was issued by the hyundai manufacturer. This is a part that should withstand the lifetime of the car! |
