| Description of the problem | Back in december, 2018, i noticed two large cracks on the passenger side dashboard where the air bag is. The cracks have only been getting longer and i fear for my safety... The airbag can deploy at any time or the airbag possibility won't deploy if i get into an accident. I have reached out to hyundai and the hyundai executives, as this has been a known issue with hyundai and the sonatas and they will not tdo anything to replace the dashboard for using defective materials. This is a major safety issue and something that hyundai should recall and fix. |
