| Description of the problem | My 2006 hyundai sonata has only 33,600 when suddenly the air bag light on the dashboard came on and stayed on. I went the dealer who told me that hyundai doesn't cover this under their extended warranties. In looking up this problem on the internet i found many hyundai owners with the same complaint. I believe this is no doubt a safety issue which hyundai has chosen to ignore and should be made to be held responsible. If the air bag is malfunctioning then those riding in the car can be seriously injured during an accident. |
