| Description of the problem | We bought this vehicle brand new in 2007. With about 5000 miles the air bag light came on. We took it to the dealer and they could not find a problem and turned the light off. It came back on i think around 11,000 miles. Same thing happened, the dealer said they could not find the problem & turned the light off. In october 2010 we took it in again with the air bag light on at 47,458 miles. The dealer repaired a passenger seat belt. In may 2011 with 58,640 miles the air bag light comes on again. This time they repair passenger seat cushion. The air bag light came on again in 2012 but we've been driving it this way for a while. The airbag light has been on more often than off it seems, and it always is some minor issue or can't be found. In feb 2013 with 87,725 miles i took the car to the dealer and now they say it is a driver's seat belt issue and is not covered under warranty. Clearly hyundai is having major issues with the seat belts and the ocs system. Something should be done about this. |
