| Description of the problem | Not sure if this is the right forum for this issue, if not, please direct me where i can lodge my complaint. Hyundai motors provided a warranty repair notice for my 2006 hyundai sonata gls stating that the passenger airbag may not deploy under certain conditions. When i went to the dealer where i purchased the car (75 miles away from my house), the dealer said that they could not diagnose the problem unless i brought the person who sits in the passenger seat that causes the airbag light to not stay indicated. The person is my daughter, and pulling her out of school just to indicate that the passenger air bag is malfunctioning is not a reasonable expectation so that the produce defect can be repaired. The passenger air bag sensor will not indicate correctly if the vehicle is running and my daughter sits in the car. |
