| Description of the problem | My 2011 hyundai sonata had the air bag light come on. It was diagnosed as a bad sensor in the passenger seat. To buy this sensor you have to buy an entire seat track assembly at a cost of $1259. 00 plus labor to install it. After looking this up on the internet, i see many hyundai vehicles have had this issue. This should be covered in a recall as it is a safety issue and been a problem with many vehicles. |
