| Description of the problem | Takata recall.. My car is not new, but it is less than 6yrs old and my airbag light is on (will not shut the [xxx] off either. I contact hyundai they said it was the clock spring, which will cost me 400. 93 dollars to fix or i will possible die in a crash. I feel this should be a recall, because this is not wear and tear this is a builder mishap... The fact that this situation could cause death and they will not fix due to safety is [xxx] insane... I quest they will not be happy until lawsuits come in place due to airbags not deploying (because the warning light will not always come on, so you wouldn't know). Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
