| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1) front air bag passenger seat sensor randomly works when my wife is sitting in seat (she weighs approx. 130lbs). it's been a problem since vehicle purchase in 06/2006. 2) i have to keep stopping vehicle to shut off and restart to clear off light (and hope it actually is on when the light is out). consequences is that if it doesn't deploy if i ever have an accident, my wife could get killed (or anyone else in the passenger seat). 3) i have had the vehicle in the garage 3-4 times to have it fixed. they replaced the seat cushion once and it didn't fix the problem. hyundai wants the seat sent to them (so they can "re-program" it. i want a new seat sent to me and replaced. i don't know what they do to "re-program" it, but if i ever trade the vehicle, it might not work for the new car owners (not a very good solution). if the light stays on (meaning the air bag is off) and my wife doesn't move, i turn off the car and restart it, the light will go off 1/2 the time. they blame it on the way she sits in the seat. but if it goes out after restarting the car and she doesn't move, then this doesn't hold true. incident date is approx for first occurrence. it has happened too many times to list all days (probably over 100 times so far). vin can be provided if necessary. *jb |
