2008 Hyundai SONATA Air Bags Frontal Sensor Control Module Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	652807
Internal NHTSA #	10209742
Manufacurer	HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY
Brand	HYUNDAI
Model	SONATA
Model Year	2008
File date	21/11/07
Component	AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The front passenger airbag light comes on when a passenger who weighs over 115 lbs is seated in the seat. The light states the airbag is off. This is definitely a serious safety issue because if the airbag is off it will not deplore if there is an accident. Therefore with the exception of the seatbelt, there is no other safety feature in case of an accident. The car was purchased under the assumption there were front and side airbags which apparently will not be the case because of some sort of defect in the sensor for the passenger seat. This is intermittent but nonetheless is not a chance i should have to take with my passengers. This needs to be addressed and fixed immediately or my money should be refunded so i can purchase another vehicle with reliable safety features. The fact that this vehicle is rated 5 stars in safety features needs to be reevaluated.
