| Description of the problem | There is an airbag light on in my 2006 hyundai sonata. My mother and stepfather are having the same issue with their 2007 hyundai sonata. They received a pamphlet regarding a class action lawsuit against hyundai that their 2007 hyundai sonata qualified for a "free" recalibration to "reset" the airbag light. They called their local dealer, and got the car in. They said that the airbag light was on due to a faulty seatbelt, and they would have to remove the entire seat, send it to california and it would cost me $300. I think this is absolutely ridiculous. I also see where there are several complaints online of the very same issue my car is having. Something needs to be done about this, and not a the customer's expense either. Obviously it is an issue hyundai should be taking care of. |
