AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
CAR WAS TAKEN TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR OCS RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT RECALL. A FEW HOURS LATER DEALER CALLED TO ADVISE THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE OCS AIR BAG. I WAS TOLD THE CODE ASSOCIATED WITH THE LIGHT BEING ON INDICATING "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" RELATED TO THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER NOT WORKING, NOT THE OCS. SINCE THE SEAT BELT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I ASKED THE DEALER TO TAKE CARE OF IT AT NO CHARGE TO ME. THE DEALER (RICK CASE HYUNDAI IN DAVIE, FL) REFUSED TO DO SO SAYING THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED IN THE OCS RECALL AND THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I THEN CALLED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REQUESTED THAT HYUNDAI REPAIR THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER AT NO CHARGE TO ME. THEY READ ME A PREPARED STATEMENT STATING THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE OCS RECALL AND WOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF IT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. AFTER I SPOKE TO A CASE MANAGER AT HYUNDAI, THEY AGREED TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND SEE IF THEY COULD WORK SOMETHING OUT WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SEAT BELT REPAIR. HYUNDAI WAS SUPPOSED TO CALL ME BACK WITHIN A WEEK TO TELL ME WHAT WAS WORKED OUT. THEY DID NOT. WHEN I CALLED BACK A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER, HYUNDAI AGAIN READ ME THE PREPARED STATEMENT SAYING THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I REITERATED THAT THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I EXPECTED THEM TO REPAIR IT. THEY CONTINUED TO REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR. I ADVISED I WAS GOING TO REPORT THIS SAFETY ISSUE TO NHTSA. HYUNDAI WAS UNCONCERNED. AS NHTSA SHOULD SEE, SEVERAL HYUNDAI SONATA OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME SEAT BELT PROBLEM TO NHTSA. MY PASSENGER SEAT IS RARELY USED, SO THIS SEEMS TO BE A HYUNDAI SAFETY DEFECT FOR WHICH THE DEALERS AND HYUNDAI SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO MAKE A RECALL AND REPAIR AT THEIR EXPENSE.I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS NOT REMOVED AND SENT TO HYUNDAI FOR ANALYSIS AS NOTED IN THE OCS RECALL. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SIX MONTHS. GOT THE RECALL NOTICE ABOUT PASSENGER OCCUPANT SYSTEM WHICH INDICATED THAT IF THE LIGHT STAYS ON TO BRING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SYSTEM CHECKED OUT OKAY. I TOLD THE SERVICE REP THAT THE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. HE INDICATED THAT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE. HE ALSO INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG MAY OR MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. HYUNDAI SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS APPARENT DEFECT. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DUMMY AIRBAG LIGHT IN MY 2006 SONATA HAS BEEN ON FOR A FEW YEARS. THE LAST TIME I BROUGHT IT IN TO SERVICE, IN JULY 2012- I WAS TOLD THAT MY PASSENGER SEAT MAY NEED TO BE SENT OUT, BUT THAT I WOULD ALSO NEED 2 NEW SEAT BELTS. I WAS TOLD THE AIR BAGS WOULDN'T DEPLOY IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT.THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO TURN THE DUMMY LIGHT OFF BUT ONLY FOR A DAY OR TWO. THIS NOVEMBER 2013, THE SEAT WAS SENT OUT TO CA UNDER A RECALL NOTICE I WAS SENT BY HYUNDAI, AND I PAID TO HAVE MY SEAT BELTS REPLACED, BUT I FEEL THE WHOLE THING IS RELATED AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. EVERYONE I HAVE SPOKEN TO ABOUT IT FEELS THE SAME WAY. THE SEAT BELT REPLACEMENT COST $350 PER SEAT EXCLUDING TAX. HYUNDAI HAS KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM (THROUGH MY DEALER) SINCE JULY 2012 AND THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN ONGOING FOR MONTHS PRIOR TO ME TAKING IT IN FOR SERVICING, NOT REALIZING IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I MISSED THE 5 YEAR 60K WARRANTY PROBABLY BY 10K MILES OR LESS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY OTHER SONATA OWNERS HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEIR SEAT BELTS AND WHETHER OR NOT WE SHOULD BE SUING HYUNDAI TO HAVE THEM COVER THIS "REPAIR". I COULD GET NO STATISTICS FROM HYUNDAI WHEN I CALLED THEM REGARDING HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE EXPLANATION PROVIDED TO ME IS THAT THEY ARE SEPARATE PROBLEMS, NOT INTER-RELATED AND THAT THE SEAT BELT ISSUE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND THE SERVICE CENTER WAS GIVEN A CODE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER OF HYUNDAI ON OCTOBER 29,2013 FOR THE SAFETY RECALLS RECEIVED FROM HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V-354 AND FAILURE OF OCS RECALL BY NHTSA).SINCE THE SERVICE PERSONNEL INSISTED TO DO 70,000 MILE SERVICE I AGREED AND AFTER 1 HOUR HE CALLED ME AND SAID THERE IS A LEAK IN THE RADIATOR HOSE. THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED BY AUTHORIZED HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTERS AND ALWAYS HAD PERSISTENT PROBLEMS LIKE OIL LEAKS (CHANGED GASKETS (PAID$400), POWER STEERING LEAKS (PAID $300), BRAKE ROTORS PROBLEMS WHICH I HAD TO PAY $1300 TO REPLACE AT 30,000 MILES ETC ETC.THIS CAR COMES WITH 10 YEAR/100,000 BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY THAT IS FAKE.I HAD ALSO PAID ($1200) FOR AN EXTENDED COVERAGE FOR THIS VEHICLE WHEN I BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW. BUT HYUNDAI DID NOT HONOR IT SINCE IT WAS A DEALER PACKAGE AND THAT DEALER NO MORE EXIST. ON OCTOBER 29,2013 AFTER THE RECALL SERVICE I PAID $400 SINCE THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE DID ALL THAT IS URGENT FOR THIS CAR. NEXT DAY MORNING I FOUND MY CAR IN A POOL OF MULTIPLE FLUIDS.I DECIDED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER, BUT ON THE WAY THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN SMOKE. I PULLED OVER TO THE GAS STATION WHICH HAD A WORK SHOP, FOUND THAT NO COOLANT IN THE CAR. THEY FILLED THE COOLANT AND PUT A NEW CLAMP ON THE HOSE WHICH WAS LOOSE. I MADE A COMPLAINT TO THE HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA AFTER 2 DAYS. CASE NUMBER IS 6156086. SINCE THEN I ESCALATED THE CASE CALLING THEM SEVERAL TIMES, BUT NO REASONABLE EFFORT FROM THERE SIDE TO HELP ME. ON NOVEMBER 13, THE CAR AGAIN BURNED AND GOT ENGULFED IN HUGE SMOKE WHEN MY WIFE WAS PARKING IN THE DRIVE WAY AFTER RETURNING FROM WORK. (I HAVE THE VIDEO ON MY CELL PHONE). AGAIN I CALLED HYUNDAI AMERICA AND THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT THE DEALER. I CALLED THE DEALER (HYUNDAI OF PARAMUS) AND THEY SAID THE SERVICE MANAGER WILL CALL BACK. BUT NEVER DID. *TR

2006 HYUNDAI SONATA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE FRONT CONTROL ARMS RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE CONTROL ARMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, DUE TO THE FACT THE BUSHINGS WERE STARTING TO SEPARATE. THE CONSUMER ASKED ABOUT THE CAUSE, AND THE DEALER STATED IT WAS DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR. THE CONSUMER BEGAN TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE, AND DISCOVERED A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE FRONT CONTROL ARMS. THE CONSUMER FILED A COMPLAINT AND HYUNDAI RESPONDED BY SAYING THEY DID NOT SHOW ANY OPEN CAMPAIGNS ON HIS VEHICLE. IN OCTOBER 2013, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL # 13V354000 WHICH OUTLINED AN ISSUE WITH CORROSION THAT COULD RESULT IN DETACHMENT OF THE INBOARD CONTROL ARM MOUNTING POINTS. AS A RESULT OF THE NOTICE, HE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD, IT APPEARED TO BE RELATED AND THAT IT WOULD BE FIXED AT NO COST. CONSEQUENTLY, WHEN HE CALL THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE ISSUE IDENTIFIED IN THE NOTICE AND HIS ISSUE WITH THE BUSHINGS THAT WERE STARTING TO SEPARATE WERE TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES AND THAT THE INITIAL ISSUE WOULD NOT BE A PART OF THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER STATED THE ONLY THING THE DEALER DID, WAS ADD A CORROSION KIT UNDER-COATING AERO AND RUST PREVENTIVE V. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THEY WERE NOT REPLACING THE CROSS-MEMBER ON ANY VEHICLES, THEY WERE MERELY USING SOME KIND OF PROTECTANT TO PREVENT FURTHER CORROSION.
