| Description of the problem | I own a 2006 hyundai sonata. It is 4mos. And 4k miles over the warranty. The driver side seat belt warning light stays on constantly. A web search shows that this is a problem with these cars. Hyundai refuses to fix the problem under the warranty or to recall the cars. This is a major safety hazard. The cost to fix can be as much as $1500. 00 as the entire seat has to be replaced. I contacted hyundai and they refuse to fix the car. This is a major safety issue as these are very popular cars. Please help. Force hyundai to recall these cars. |
