| Description of the problem | My air bag light came on and has stayed on consistently. Our mechanic read the code and it is the passenger side seat beat buckle. I have been told by hyundai that their warranties only cover seat belts and air bags for 5 years or 60,000 miles. I cannot believe they advertise as "america's best warranty." i know this affects whether the air bags would function properly in an accident, so i urge you to please force them to recall this item and repair and/or replace it for anyone affected for free. Fyi, i did have this problem with a honda accord in the past and honda did not even question repairing it-it is warranted for the lifetime of the car. I will certainly never buy another hyundai again and will encourage anyone i know not to buy one either. Again, please force hyundai to correct this problem with a recall. Thank you for your time and investigation. |
