Description of the problem	2006 sonata gls very well maintained (for life of vehicle) by top notch local dealer + no accident history - reports driver side seat belt buckle err code, airbag light on/airbag system not activated. Dealer attempted oc3 test-passenger seat voluntary recall issue - could not complete test-buckle error... Replaced buckle assy: same code + light. Dash opened, console removed, driver seat removed: airbag system harness inspection, reseat connections - new code appears: drivers belt retractor assy. Replaced belt retractor assy. No code! And airbag system still not working/airbag light indicator on. .. Dealer advised this expensive problem is well-known to 06, 07 sonata owners: sole viable solution=replace air bag system wiring harness. Ordered part # on harness - wrong harness delivered (connectors in wrong location on harness/don't meet up with car connectors. Ordered again, same result (dealership noted - these harnesses arrive with bag torn open (not first mechanic to order it for same problem and outcome).. Local hyundai territory engineer (troubleshooter for large problems) asked to visit for discussions - right part # / wrong part. Solution = i've dealt with this 3x recently and in this area - order this part #. Guess what, new part is $750 / double old part cost. New harness reaches into back seat area as well and causes double the labor costs >$1,000. ..$1k already invested in parts and labor plus facing another $2k in harness parts & labor. Dealer can't provide any guarantee this will solve it short term let alone long term - contacted hyundai usa for financial assistance - denied due to out of warranty + 2nd owner/not original (how convenient for them).. As mentioned, 3x '06 sonata owners in this territory recently experienced identical issues and after getting tough with hyundai usa, received buy-backs of their cars. Try to guess my next move ...
