| Description of the problem | Hyundai had recall for airbag light. I took it in for the recall november 2013 and they supposedly fixed the problem. Less than a month later-december 25, 2013 my air bag light went back on. Took it back to dealer who said it's not the airbag problem, but seat belt-code b1706 for passenger seat belt-said the seatbelt needed to be replaced. Asked if this was covered as part of their recall as it seems to be safety issue? I was told no-i was responsible to replace it-approximately $250. 00. Airbag light is now off-seems like it is working, but tech said they did not guarantee the airbag would deploy if in an accident! I told him it should be a safety issue then and they should be responsible for this. He said no--my problem. I have grandchildren who ride in my car sometimes and i have no choice but to fix it, but again-it seems to be related to the air bag recall since it triggers that light and they will not guarantee the airbag will deploy if in an accident--i feel hyundai should be responsible for this. If people do not fix this and have an accident, there could be a loss of lives due to this problem. I feel hyundai should be responsible-seems to be a large defect from what i see on line-lots of problems with airbags/seat belts. |
