AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON 3 DAYS AGO AND HASN'T TURNED BACK OFF. TODAY I TESTED MY SEATBELTS AND THEY DON'T LOCK LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO "UPON IMPACT". I CALLED MY LOCAL HYINDAI DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NO SAFETY RECALL AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS
AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AT RANDOM, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT OR NOT. CAR WAS TAKEN TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, AND THEY DISCOVERED A SEAT CUSHION WITH A SENSOR WAS MALFUNCTIONING. THIS WOULD COST CLOSE TO A $1000.00 TO FIX. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THUS, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL ENOUGH PEOPLE AND CHILDREN HAVE DIED FROM THIS. MOST OF US DO NOT HAVE $1000.00 TO DISH OUT FOR A FANCY SEAT CUSHION. I SEE FROM MANY COMPLAINTS THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM. PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY AND PUT OUT A RECALL FOR THOSE OF US THAT ARE TOO BROKE TO FIX A SAFETY MALFUNCTION THAT CAME WITH THE CAR.

PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR MALFUNCTION. STARTED ON 21 JUNE 2019, I STARTED MY CAR AND NOTICED THE RED AIRBAG DASH LIGHT ON AND THE PASSENGER "AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT OUT. A FEW DAYS LATER, I STARTED MY CAR AND THE RED DASH LIGHT STAYED OFF AND THE "AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT WAS WORKING. IT WORKS OFF AND ON TILL THIS DAY; WEIGHT SOME TIMES INFLUENCES IT. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS UNRESPONSIVE AND THE DASH LIGHT IS ON. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED IT FOR $100 AND CONFIRMED IT WAS THE $1200 PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR.

MULTIPLE TIMES NOW ON THE DASH DISPLAY THE INDICATOR LIGHTS FOR THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND BRAKES ARE ILLUMINATED. THIS OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. ADDITIONALLY, IF YOU PUT THE CAR IN GEAR AND BEGIN DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK AND REMAINS AT ZERO. MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUES ON VARIOUS WEBSITES. A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD DEFINITELY BE ISSUED BEFORE IT CAUSES SOMEONE TO WRECK.
