| Description of the problem | Takata recall about may 2016 airbag dash light and passenger airbag light malfunction, dash light stays on, passenger airbag light does not recognize passenger. Took vehicle to dealership on 8/18/16, and was diagnosed that "problem due to a makeup bag wedged under passenger seat causing poor contact at connectors." within 4 days, airbag dash light and passenger light were malfunctioning as initially described above. Took vehicle into dealership on 9/8/16 for same problem. Dealership did a pods reset, a recalibration as i understand it. Airbag dash light and passenger light worked for 24 hours before they malfunctioned again as initially described above. Further communication with dealership has been to inform me that the "ocs mat is $2473. 50 plus $312. 50 for install. That's the whole seat. Hyundai does not offer it separate." this is a known problem with the airbag system. This is not my bill to foot, it's hyundai's. In the meantime, i don't know if i have airbag protection. |
