2006 Hyundai SONATA Seat Belts Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1055935
Internal NHTSA #	10578400
Manufacurer	Hyundai Motor America
Brand	HYUNDAI
Model	SONATA
Model Year	2006
File date	17/03/14
Component	SEAT BELTS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	"air bag" srs warning light on continuously. Per owners manual, this indicates this system "is not working properly" and "should be inspected by an authorized hyundai dealer". Concerned that the air bag/srs system is unsafe and could cause injury or not properly protect occupants from injury or death in case of accident, brought car to local hyundai dealer. Instructed that they would have to inspect the problem and charge us $105. 00. Dealer performed inspection and diagnosis was faulty "belt assy restence high in buckle assy front pass side" for additional charge of $470. 00. Repair was not performed. We called hyundai corp customer service and spoke with manager, but hyundai stated that since no recall noted and past warranty period, they would not fix defect at no charge. Why should we pay for a defective air bag/srs part/system that should not fail under normal life and use of a car? This is a fundamental internal safety system and should not stop working properly. This is a manufacturer defect for design, components and/or workmanship and should be recalled. Hyundai is not taking responsibility for it's faulty product to save themselves money at the expense of consumers and placing my family's safety at risk. We now paid $105 to confirm the car is unsafe to drive and are forced to spend an additional $470 to "correct" a defective srs system, which may or may not "fix" problem, in order to confidently continue using car. Ridiculous.
