| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Vehicle was taken to hyundai because the airbag light was illuminated, and the passenger seat belt reminder light would blink when no one was in the seat. After a diagnostic test, the dealership advised this was due to a faulty airbag sensor in the passenger seat, that was part of the actual seat. The replacement seat cushion was going to cost upwards of $1200, with the installed price of over $1500! After looking at the nhtsa complaints, i saw i am not the only one who has had this problem. A quick google search also showed a plethora of other complaints in regards to this issue. There is obviously a major issue with the sensors/airbag/seat belt system in these vehicles, and i am hoping a recall will be issued. Hyundai could not tell me if this issue would affect my airbag system or not. Thank you. |
