2011 Hyundai SONATA Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1299744
Internal NHTSA #	10885482
Manufacurer	Hyundai Motor America
Brand	HYUNDAI
Model	SONATA
Model Year	2011
File date	15/07/16
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The air bag light has recently illuminated and stays on. There is nothing obstructing the wires under the seats and the vehicle has not been in a crash. The light illuminated while driving down the road and has remained on. Contacted the dealership and was informed that airbags and sensors are only covered under the first 5 years and 60,000 miles. Based on the recent plethora of recalls on the 2011 hyundai sonata and after reading countless complaints online with other vehicles of the same make and model having the exact same issues, i am concerned that not only are the airbags covered under a limited warranty, but that this may be another possible recall in the long line of recalls for the hyundai sonata. I do not feel that this is a safe car for anyone and feel that the airbag light/deactivation could result in deaths should hyundai not cover the airbags longer and for individuals who may not be able to afford the repair.
