Description of the problem | After reading about the hyundai sonatas probe (2006 - 2008), i believe the probe should expand to include my 2006 hyundai tuscon. Since january of 2014, my passenger seat indicator light ( on the dash board) has been on saying "passenger air bag off". Even when someone is present in the seat and the seat belt is fastened. I took the car to my hyundai dealer and they told me a sensor in the buckle has gone out and the air bag will not deploy if needed. They told me the replacement cost in $600, which i can not afford to have replaced. This leaves my family in danger if an accident should occur. |
