| Description of the problem | This started in july 2018. Airbag light on. Took to dealer scanned for error for front impact sensor. Rescanned to repair and no error code so reset light. Drove less than 5 miles and light back on. Took again to dealer march 2019. Scanned for error front impact sensor. Ordered part and replaced so far have over $400 invested. Next day returned to dealer as light back on. Rescanned need to replacesrscm airbag module assembly at $779 to fix maybe. Frustrated contacted hyundai opened case 15629286. Basically was told out of warranty so they can do nothing,take up with dealer. So since then afraid to transport front passenger since was told that airbag may not deploy in a crash. I find it difficult to believe that hyundai will not stand behind their product with all the bad press and recalls regarding airbag issues. I have diligently kept up with the numerous recalls on this car. |
