| Description of the problem | My air bag light came on in my car. I took my car to the hyundai dealer at southtowne hyundai in riverdale georgia and they didn't call the manufacturer about my car. My car was hit t-bone on the driver's side front head light and the airbags didn't deploy. I asked the dealer several times to call because my airbag light should not come on by itself. The dealer just wanted me to pay over $500. 00 to get it repaired. I wanted to know at anytime was the airbag model for my car recalled and hyundai kept it a secret. This is the second hyundai i have purchased. I called my car my jaguar. |
