| Description of the problem | Before nov 6,2018, we did not have any issues with our air bag control system. On nov 6, 2018, we took our sonata into parma hyundai on brookpark rd in ohio and had them perform the airbag control unit recall. They said it was complete despite the nhtsa's website saying the recall is incomplete. A few weeks after said recall was completed by hyundai our airbag light has come on and has stayed on. We took it back to hyundai and they refused to look at it without paying $100 something diagnosis fee. We never had any airbag issues with our car until they did this recall. Hyundai completeing said recall caused the reason for the recall in the first place. |
