| Description of the problem | The airbag light came on and will not go off, took to dealer and they claim the sensor in the seat has gone bad and cost $675 to replace it and also i had to pay $90 just to diagnose it, this should not be right on a 5 year old car, i have seen other complaints online from car owners- i have not replaced part yet as i feel hyundai should do it for free- and btw there have been 11 recalls on this car so far that i have had to have done- please put pressure on them to recall 2010-2011 sonatas to fix the issue |
