 Description of the problemI purchased a used 2007 hyundai sonata on 5/29/2009 with 26,923 miles from gettel hyundai, sarasota florida. I took it back to the dealership on 12/14/09 (34,151 miles) because the air bag light remained on. They found b1706 error (the passenger seat belt buckle resistance was high) so they replaced the passenger seat belt buckle assembly with no charge. On 6/8/12 (61,000 miles) i took the car back to the dealership for the same problem. The technician found codes: b1448, b1701 and b1706. The repairs were not cover by warranty and would cost $800. I declined the work. Before i left they told me that the airbags may not deploy if i were in an accident. Last month i found out that there was a recall of 2007 hyundai sonata back in april 2008 to replace the airbag sensor in the passenger seat cushion which caused the airbag light to remain on. Today (7/18/2014), (91,000 miles) i took my car in to the dealership for the recall repair and they told me the problem was with the front passenger cushion airbag sensor and with both seat belt buckle sensors. They will ship the front passenger cushion seat to california to fix the airbag sensor problem for free but it would cost $630 to replace both seat belt buckle assemblies. The service manager said if i declined to replace both seat belt sensors that the airbags would not deploy if i ever get into an accident. Well, i cannot afford the repair. It is a sad situation. Hyundai must know by now there is a problem with the seat belt assembly, it is all over the internet. It seems to be all about money and that hyundai is paying for the cost of recall repairs for the seat cushion sensor by charging folks to have the seat belt assemblies replaced. I'm sure some lawyer will find out about this problem and find people injured due to the seat belt assembly malfunctions and file a lawsuit. I just hope no one dies because of it.
