| Description of the problem | My airbag light first came on in january 2013. At first it would come on then go off for a couple of days. It did this for about 2 weeks then just stayed on until i fixed it in feb. 2013. It was the sensor in the belt, and cost me $668. 95 the first time. Then 6 mos. Later the airbag light came on again. This time it was a different problem and was charged $50. A couple of mos. Later, it comes on again, but i haven't fixed it yet. I had the problems fixed at gary rome hyundai in holyoke, ma. I sent a letter to hyundai regarding the issues that i keep having with the airbags. They sent a response, but not the one i wanted. I asked them why a recall hadn't been issued for the airbag problems i was having since obviously i wasn't causing the problems. I also printed out and enclosed many pages of consumer complaints about the same issues i was having. I'm glad that you're looking into this. Thank you. |
