| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2011 hyundai sonata on 6/15/2015 with 55000 miles on it. Since then, i've had numerous recalls on my car. The issue i have now is the airbag light is on in the car dashboard. Due to loss of wages from other recalls i have not been able to afford to get my airbag light checked. The car was not in motion when the light came on and i have never been in a car accident. The light came on around the 63000 mile mark and i have no warranty to get the car fixed. I've read online about numerous amount of complaints about their same car have the same issue as me. With all the complaints i've read i'm surprised there hasn't been an investigation or recall yet for this issue. It's a huge safety concern and is going to get me or somebody else driving a 2011 hyundai sonata killed if nothing is done. I've had atleast 5 other recalls on this car which just gives me more reasons to believe that this is the manufacturers fault. I just simply ask that you look into this matter and hopefully get it resolved. I've had the airbag light on now for 10 months and don't know what i can do about it. Please help. |
