| Description of the problem | Air bag light on dash would stay on,andwhen locking car with key fob,lights would flash when pressing key fob first time,but on second press horn would not beep,vehicle alarm would go off intermittently replaced sensor under seat and it fixed problem for awhile. 6-20-2007,same exact problem again. After googling symptoms have found numerous complaints of almost the same problem or some variation there of! My question to the safety board is,why haven't you forced a recall on hyundai on this issue? Lives are being placed in jeopardy by your inaction. Is someone on hyundais payroll there ,or what? If so they should have become a senator or congressman,thats where the big payoffs are. |
