Description of the problem	Re. 2006 hyundai sonata (currently approx 71,00 miles) - was part of past recall on passenger side airbag light staying lit when passenger in seat. Brought to dealer - they couldn't replicate problem at the time. Wouldn't fix problem (replace seat) due to not being able to replicate. Light still comes on intermittently when passenger in seat. Addressed with dealer and hyundai corporate - corporate backed dealer. Shortly after 60,000 warranty expired, drivers side visor broke - falls down when driving - safety hazard. Called dealer - $45 just to buy - not installed. I have seen numerous complaints on here and other websites re. Same issue. Should be part of covered recall. Recently drivers air bag light began illuminating. Car battery needed replacing - thought this might be the problem - still illuminating after replacing battery. Called dealer - must pay diagnostic fee (i believe $88) just to look at it and then repairs which from my understanding can be costly. Have also seen numerous reports on this site and others of same problem. Should be safety recall also.
