| Description of the problem | I owned 4 sonatas and two currently. The airbag warning light is illuminated in both 2006's with the passenger airbag warning light going off and off intermittently. The dealer fixed the one with 60k+ miles only to have it happen again. The other one has 103k and the dealer told me they knew the problem and it would be $1500 for parts (original prob was thought to be a low voltage). The one with 60k has the problem again. Called hyundai corp and they opened a case, called me two days later and told me there is nothing they can do. I really want to buy a 2010 and told them i could not knowing this problem exists and hyundai refuses to assist. |
