| Description of the problem | Took to dealer to check on air bag indicator light on dash. Told by dealer that sensor in passenger side seat belt needs to be replaced for $375. 00. And that all airbags were inoperable until sensor is replaced. Car is 8k miles past warranty. Called hyundai consumer affairs hotline to file complaint but was told nothing could be done by hyundai at this time. B&*l s&%t. My car has never been in an accident & the passenger side seat has been occupied 10% of the time. After reading all of the other sonata owner complaints of this nature, a moron can discern that this is a system design flaw & hyundai should step up & claim responsibly and make this right b-4 people die & this problem turns real ugly. |
