| Description of the problem | The air bag light came on when i moved the passenger seat. Mechanics can make the light go out by resetting the codes... However the light comes back on after a while and always when the passenger seat is moved. There are a great many similar complaints for hyundai xg350 2003, 2004 and 2005, yet the company does nothing about it. Haven't they learned from gm? Also where is the nhtsa . Surely they see these complaints all over the web? I'm told that the air bags will not deploy while the light is on. This is a great concern - but i can't afford to pay $1,000 every time it needs to be reset by a hyundai dealer. Nhtsa ---please put some pressure on hyundai to issue a recall to permanently fix the problem. By the way i'm bringing my 2004 xg350 to the dealer tomorrow to replace the subframe which is rotting - this does have a recall issued. |
