Description of the problem	The vehicle was driving down a rural highway (340 stuarts draft, va) at no more than 35mph, no bumps or jarring when the air bag light came on. Received a recall notice for the air bag sensor on my car which said "if your light remains illuminated, please see your local dealership". So i took the car in today and they said there is no fix for the issue recalled. I asked them to tell me what it would cost for me to repair it and they said they have no part, good or bad to put in it. Hyundai took all of the sensors back for defects, didn't give replacements and will only "back order" a new part until one is made. My air bag light remains illuminated and will fail inspection soon. Then i'll have a car payment, full coverage insurance and a car that i can not legally drive. When i asked what i should do next, the answer was hope there was a fix before my next inspection.
