Description of the problem	I own a 2006 hyundai sonata. I bought it new from henderson hyundai in henderson, nv. My car has now 73,831 miles and i have had every required maintenance done to my car by the dealership that sold it to me. A week ago the driver's airbag light came on so decided to take it to the dealer so they can fix it. To my surprise they said i would need to replace the passenger seat, the whole seat, and that it would cost me $1800 to repair. He also mentioned something about the insulation in the wiring being gone. My car has never been into an accident so the airbags have never been deployed. Right now, because of this problem, none of the airbags in my car will deploy should i have an accident. I tried to make the dealership understand this is a safety issue hyundai should fix since it is obvious this is a matter of a faulty system and not normal wear and tear. I can not afford paying $1800 for something they can not even guarantee will not happen again. I strongly believe hyundai motor inc should be held liable for this type of poor craftsmanship that makes driving my car unsafe.
