| Description of the problem | On my 2006 sonata the sensor in the drivers side seat belt breaks, turning on air bag notification light. I took the car into crain hyundai of north little rock and they stated this is a common issue with this model and it wasn't covered under warranty according to the mechanic at crain this will stop the seatbelt from working properly and it will turn off the air bag. This is two major safety violations. 1 seat belt not functioning properly, 2 the air bag is now turned off. This makes the car worthless as far as resale value and a major safety issue. |
