| Description of the problem | My 2006 hyundai sonata's air bag light stays on. I took it to dealership. They said the problem is due to faulty passenger seat belt tensioner. This matches the description stated in nhtsa action number: pe14023. This investigation was closed because hyundai will extend the warranty to 15 years or 250k miles. My hyundai dealership does not honor this warranty because they did not get notice from corporate. I called hyundai customer connect center 1-855-671-3059 with this issue and provided the nhtsa case number. I talked to a agent and his supervisor and his supervisor. Neither acknowledge the existence of this nhtsa action number: pe14023. They said i had to repair this on my own cost. I am surprised to hear that hyundai just ignores the authority of nhtsa especially on the airbag issue. I have recorded the phone conversation with both supervisors for reference. |
