| Description of the problem | The "passenger front air bag" light does not turn off when my wife, who weighs 123lbs, rides in front passenger side. This means that the front air bags are not activated. Went to dealer for service & was informed that this was within factory specifications. Spoke to hyundai hq & was informed that specifications should be 80lbs. We have an initial appointment for 9/18 to meet with a company service rep, which we can not meet (we will be up north visiting g'kids) advised to make appointment after our return late september, which appointment would be in october. In the mean time i guess we are to drive extra carefully. If this happened to us there must be many more out there. This is potentially a very dangerous situation & no one from the company or dealer seems to be concerned, when i want this taken care of immediately. |
