| Component | AIR BAGS |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | I was involved in an accident and noticed that the air bags never deployed. I noticed that the passenger air bag sensor light kept flashing and now it never comes on. Now my air bag sensor light in the dash came on so i took it in to have it looked at and the mechanic told me that there was a recall by hyundai to repair the issue. I called the dealer to see if they were aware of the recall and they told me that not all of the cars were recalled for this issue. So now my air bags have been deactivated because of the bad sensor and is not safe to be driving. I'm looking to get this issue covered by a hyundai dealer. |
