 Description of the problemI had not had very many riders in the front passenger seat of my 2007 hyundai sonata until i went to upstate ny for a family reunion. During my 2 week stay in ny i had passengers riding in the front seat on numerous occasions. When i was returning home to ct i noticed that my red "air bag" light was on. From that point it has been on continuously. I called lia hyundai in hartford, ct and they said they would have to do a diagnostic test to determine the cause and since my vehicle was not under warranty, i would have to pay for the test and any repairs. I opted to not have the test and repairs done. In 2013 i received a notice from hyundai about a recall involving the front passenger seat and air bag deployment and warning light. I had moved to fl in april of 2013 and after i had settled in, i called cocoa hyundai in cocoa, fl. The service department told me that if my air bag light was on continuously, any repairs would be covered under the recall. On 7-25-13 i brought my car to cocoa hyundai to do a diagnostic test. After a wait of around 2 hours, the service manager told me that the cause of the air bag light staying on continuously was a sensor in the front passenger seat's seat belt buckle. He said this repair was not covered under the recall and it would cost me $481 to repair. I opted not to have the repair done because the quote to repair a seat belt buckle ($481) was outrageously high. I have since been notified by hyundai that cocoa hyundai did not follow the protocol for this air bag/passenger seat recall which required the dealer to remove the seat, have it sent out for testing and provide the owner with a loaner car. I am on a 4 month waiting list to have the proper test at cocoa hyundai.
