| Description of the problem | My airbag light has been illuminated for almost a year now. I was told by my hyundai dealer that this situation is under recall review... "your vehicle is affected by the sonata airbag control unit recall. The remedy is not yet available. We are currently making preparations to implement the recall." i was also told that they can fix the problem for approx $2,500. I cannot afford to pay that and it has been close to a year now that hyundai corporation has been trying to come up with a recall remedy. This is totally unacceptable and obviously unsafe. My complaint is on the hyundai corporation for moving entirely too slowly on this recall campaign. Mine and my family's safety is at stake!
