| Description of the problem | After my 2007 sonata air bag warning light first came on, i phoned my hundayi dealer where i purchased my car new- waikem auto in canton, oh. They said they had a safety recall on it, and to bring it in. After i took it in, and they inspected it, they told me it wasn't the recall they thought it would be. They said it was due to my front seat belt sensors - both failing - that was causing my air bag light to come on & stay on. Also, they told me it was not covered under warranty, and then i was told that my air bags would not deploy because of this seat belt sensor failure! It is expensive to repair. My complaint- why would a seat belt sensor be tied to my air bag function ?? This is not right. My seat belts function fine. I see on news today, that you have other complaints with the same issues, and are investigating the matter. I want to file my complaint for the same reason as others have lodged, and feel that hundayi should be made to make a recall and repair these seat belt sensors, so that my air bags will function properly should i have an accident. |
