| Description of the problem | I received a recall letter advising of a problem with the passenger airbag system. The airbag warning light was illuminated on the dash of my 2006 hyundia sonata. I followed hyundia's instructions and took my vehicle to the dealer where i purchased my vehicle, colonial hyundai, downingtown, pa. They inspected the vehicle on december 8, 2008 and advised me the problem was not associated with the recall but was rather due to another part. I was informed i would need a replacement passenger seat at a cost of $1,409. 96. At that time, they recalibrated the passenger airbag system and the air bag warning light went out. However, the light returned to illumination days later. For the past three months i have been driving my vehicle with this airbag warning light illuminated. |
