| Description of the problem | Airbag light on dashboard was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local hyundai dealer shop . The technician performed diagnostics and found that occupant classification system (ocs) in passenger seat was defected, which resulted in failure of all airbags system in the car. Technician indicated that this can be fixed by replacing a whole passenger seat, which will cost about $1065. 07 + tax. Previously, a recall was issued for the problem of ocs (recall number 08v161000). There are so many same complaints made here. There should be urgent investigation on this issue because this is safety issue and this problem is not caused by owner/driver. Hyundai motor company in us should be responsible for fixing this safety issue (it's air bags!!! Not some exterior or interior issue). This hasn't been repaired yet. |
