| Description of the problem | The airbag light in the instrument cluster came on and now stays on while the car is being operated. This is the fourth time in less than a year that this has happened. I'm told that when this light is on the airbag system is not operating and will not function when needed. The prior three times this happened, the incident was addressed by my hyundai dealer, king hyundai in deerfield beach, fl. In one case, there was a recall by hyundai for a "clock spring" replacement which king hyundai claims they have completed, yet the light keeps coming on, usually within one month of having it repaired at the dealer. There are numerous complaints about this all over the internet yet there are no permanent solutions from hyundai while there is a significant risk undertaken by drivers of this vehicle when the government mandated airbag system is disengaged, thus i implore you to force hyundai to once again recall all affected vehicles that seem to commonly have this problem and permanently fix them. |
