| Description of the problem | There is a recall on my car for the ocs , occupant classification system . Its what tells the car to turn on the passenger side airbag when an adult is in the seat. I took my car into the dealer for repairs like the letter stated and was turned away saying it works fine, even though i had an adult in the seat and the system said the air bag was turned off . After a few calls to hyundai motor america, the dealer decided to send the passenger seat in for testing . I received my car back from the shop on 10-27-08. The following day my 19 year old was in the seat and the light was illuminated saying "passenger air bag off" i called hyundai motor america and was told they would rectify the situation. Today is 11-17-08 and i have yet to receive a phone call regarding this matter. The dealership is refusing to help me , stating that " we fixed it once and its not our problem anymore" i am at my wits end as to what to do now . No one seems to want to fix the issue. They simply tell me to deal with it . |
