| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Air bag off light illuminates intermittently when passenger (130+ lbs) is seated properly in front passenger seat, indicating the air bag would not go off. have had this problem repeatedly and randomly since purchasing the vehicle 9/05, and have requested action at each warranty servicing. (22,500 mi currently) each time the dealer service department claims the diagnostics do not find a problem and the air bag sensor is working properly. they say there are no service bulletins or recalls from hyundai on this problem. however there are at least 15 complaints on this website about this problem as of 12/06. i am very upset by this apparent lack of caring on hyundai's part about the safety of their passengers. just because the intermittent problem can't be reproduced at the dealer's does not mean that the passengers are not experiencing the problem. there has got to be a way to isolate the problem even if it can't be observed in the moment, even if it means replacing the parts in the sequence till the problem goes away. *nm |
