| Description of the problem | Airbag light / problem. Took car to car pros hyundai, seattle wa on aurora. Advised them my airbag light all of a sudden stays on. They advised me that it was seat belt issue and some wiring under the floor board. Hyundai advised me that the air bags wouldn't work if i was in a accident. Asked them if this was under warranty, they said only up to 60, 000 miles. And my car is over that. I advised why aren't all seat belt functions and airbags covered through the life of the car. Doesn't make sense. Its the law that i have to wear a seatbelt, well it should be a law that the seat belts are working properly and airbags for the life of vehicle. |
