RESPONDED TO A AIRBAG RECALL JULY 2013. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THEY CORRECTED RECALL. HOWEVER, NOW 11/2017 AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON. CAR MECHANIC SAYS LIGHT IS INDICATING A RECALL ON AIRBAG. CONTACTED HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CORRECTION ONLY REPLACED THE SEATBELT NOT THE SEATBELT TENTIONER AND WE WERE NEVER INFORMED THAT THEIR WAS NO FIX AT THE TIME FOR THE TENTIONER. NO FURTHER NOTICE WENT OUT INDICATING REPAIR COULD BE DONE. THEY INDICATE IT CAN BE FIXED NOW UNDER CAMPAIGN TXX2.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE LEFT THE ROADWAY, ENTERED THE WOODS, AND SPUN AROUND SEVERAL TIMES. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE CRASH. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED NECK, LOWER BACK, AND HEAD INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF INJURIES IN THE OTHER VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT WHERE IT WAS DEEMED DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED TO DETERMINE WHY THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

A RED LIGHT APPEARED ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL THAT STATED "AIR BAG" AND CONTINUES TO STAY LIT WHEN VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS AN AIRBAG OR SENSOR MALFUNCTION WITH THE VEHICLE. I AM MAKING AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP TODAY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE CHECKED FOR THIS ISSUE.

I OWN A 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA.WHILE MERGING INTO THE TRAFFIC. IT WAS RECENTLY INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION. THE CRASH WAS SO BAD THAT IT AFFECTED THE RADIATOR AND EVEN BROKE THE COOLANT RESERVOIR. THE MAIN FRAME OF THE CAR IS ALSO DAMAGED. EVEN AFTER THIS LEVEL OF SERIOUS CRASH, THE AIRBAGS STILL DIDN'T INFLATE. NO AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. I SUFFERED SOME INJURIES. THIS BRINGS ME TO QUESTION THE SAFETY OF THIS CAR. MY MODEL WAS PREMIUM SPORTS PACKAGE WITH 3.3 V6 ENGINE.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD STAYS ON AND THE PASSENGER CONTINUOUSLY BLINKS. I HAPPENED TO CLICK/ENGAGE THE SEAT BELT (WITH NO ONE IN THE SEAT) AND THE PASSENGER LIGHT GOES OFF BUT THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASHBOARD STAYS ON. I DO NOT KNOW THE EXACT DATE THIS STARTED HAPPENING BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER DRIVES IT AND SHE'S GOING TO COLORADO COLLEGE IN COLORADO SPRINGS. BUT TODAY'S DATE IS 6/5/2017

SENSOR IN PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND WILL CAUSE THE AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE AND ALSO CAUSES THE AIRBAG TO NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED FROM HYUNDAI AS THERE ARE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS SAME COMPLAINT.

IN MAY 2015, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HYUNDAI MOTORS AMERICA CONCERNING A DEFECT IN MY 2006 SONATA'S SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES (CAMPAIGN TXX2) CAUSING THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO WACO HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 1501 W. LOOP 340, WACO, TX 76712 ON 5/14/15 FOR THE CAMPAIGN NOTICE AND OTHER MAINTENANCE/REPAIRS. WACO HYUNDAI FAILED TO HONOR THE CAMPAIGN LETTER REFUSING TO REPAIR MY SONATA BASED ON THE FACT MY SONATA HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY WRECKED. I PURCHASED MY SONATA A FEW YEARS PRIOR WHEN IT HAD ABOUT 10,000 MILES ON IT KNOWING IT HAD BEEN WRECKED AT SOME POINT PRIOR. IT HAD 76,002 AT THE TIME I DROPPED IT OFF FOR SERVICE. WACO HYUNDAI ADVISED IF I HAD A COMPLAINT TO CALL HYUNDAI MOTORS AMERICA WHICH CREATED CASE #7944327. IT TOOK HYUNDAI MOTORS AMERICA OVER A MONTH, BUT THEY TOO WOULD NOT HONOR THE CAMPAIGN LETTER BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY WRECKED. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY REGISTERED, PASSES STATE INSPECTION AND IS ROAD WORTHY BY ALL APPEARANCES AND APPLICABLE STANDARDS, BUT NEITHER WACO HYUNDAI NOR HYUNDAI MOTORS AMERICA WOULD HONOR THEIR OWN CAMPAIGN TXX2 NOTICE.

IN THE MID OF APRIL, I RECEIVED A EXTENDED WARRANTY LETTER FROM HYUNDAI FOR MY "AIR BAG" LIGHT THAT HAS BEEN ON. IT WAS FOR THE AIR BAG LIGHT DUE TO RESISTANCE WITHIN THE CONNECTOR FOR THE FRONT SEAT BELT BUCKLE. ON APRIL 27, 2015 I SCHEDULED MY FIRST APPOINTMENT AT SAVANNAH HYUNDAI. ON INVOICE IT STATED: 135681 CHECK AND FOUND HISTORY CODES B1701 DRIVERS SEAT BUCKLE PRETENSIONER RESISTANCE HIGH B176 PASSENGER SEAT BUCKLE RESISTANCE CLEAR CODES NO CODES RESET. I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. AS I DROVE OFF THE SERVICE LOT, MY AIR BAG LIGHT WENT BACK ON. ON MAY 4, 2015, I WENT IN FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSIS AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY NEEDED MY CAR TO STAY AT THE SHOP AND THEY GAVE ME A RENTAL. THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO SEND MY SEAT OFF TO BE FIXED. IT WAS A FEW DAYS THAT THEY HAD MY CAR. ON THAT INVOICE IT STATED: CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM FOR CODES B1701 AND B1706 DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT SEAT BELT BUCKLE PRETENSIONER RESISTANCE HIGH FOUND SERVICE BULLENTIN 15BE002 INSTALL TIE STRAP ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT BUCKLE PRETENSIONER CONNECTORS.ON JUNE 22, 2015 I CAME IN SAVANNAH HYUNDAI ONCE AGAIN BECAUSE MY AIR BAG LIGHT WARNING CAME BACK ON. I WAS TOLD THAT MY WARRANTY WAS ALREADY EXTENDED WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET IF I WANTED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. WHICH I HAD THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND HAD NO IDEA WHY THEY WERE FIGHTING WITH ME WITH THIS. FIX THE SAFETY ISSUE! ON INVOICE IT WAS NOTED THAT THE TSB FOR PRETENSIONER CONNECTORS WERE ALREADY PERFORMED AND THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS PASSENGER BUCKLE PRETENSIONER AND THE TSB DOES NOT MENTION ANY WARRANTY COVERING THE REPLACEMENT, ONLY THE ZIP TIE INSTALLATION. I CALLED CORPORATE AND ON MAY 29, 2015, THEY ORDERED THE PASSENGER SEAT BUCKLE PRETENSIONER AND SUPPOSEDLY THEY FIXED THE ISSUE. TODAY IS JULY, 15, 2015 AND MY AIR BAG WARNING LAMP IS ON ONCE AGAIN. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED.

I WISH TO MAKE A COMPLAINT ON THE SAFETY OPERATION OF THIS CAR. SINCE IT WAS BOUGHT NEW FROM SANSONE AUTO MALL THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON 4 TIMES AND NOW A 5TH TIME IN MAY OF 2015. THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ALWAYS POINTS TO THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE ON THE DRIVERS SEAT. EVERY TIME WE TAKE IT TO HYUNDAI THEY HAVE NO CONCERN OF THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH WE COMPLAIN. THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO EXCEPT REPLACE THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY. THEY WILL NOT WARRANTY ANYTHING. ALSO TALKED WITH HYUNDAI AND THEY HAVE NO CONCERN EITHER ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE. WE FEAR THE SAFETY OF NOT JUST THE DRIVE BUT THE PASSENGERS SHOULD AN ACCIDENT OCCUR AND THEY AIR BAGS DON'T DEPLOY OR THE SEAT BELTS WORK CORRECTLY. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION ALSO BECAME DEFECTIVE WHICH HAD TO BE REPAIRED AS WELL. HYUNDAI AND THEIR DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING US AND AVERAGE OF $350.00 EACH TIME FOR THIS ISSUE WHICH WE BELIEVE IS THEIRS. APPARENTLY AS WE SEE IT THEY HAVE NO CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF THIS MODEL CAR SERIES. WE HAVE TO TAKE IT AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM PRIOR TO MOTOR VEHICLE INSPECTION IN JULY OF 2015.

THIS IS THE SECOND REPAIR OF BUCKLE ASSY- FRONT (FIRST REPAIR WAS PERFORMED IN 2009). I PAID FOR THE SECOND REPAIR ON 6/25/14 AS THE MAINTENANCE MANAGER SAID IT WAS A ONE-TIME RECALL AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. (PART: 88840-0A000-QS) NEEDED IT DONE FOR SAFETY SO I PAID; BUT, IT BOTHERED ME THAT IT WAS A RECALL AND I HAD PAID NEARLY $260. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR (2015) AND AFTER TALKING TO A COUPLE OF PEOPLE FOUND THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT SHOULD COVER THE COST. AFTER NUMEROUS CALLS, MAILING INVOICE WITH CHECK NUMBER, FAXING SAME ON 3/20/15, I GOT A PHONE CALL TODAY REQUIRING ME TO UPLOAD A FILE TO A PARTICULAR WEBSITE. I CALLED AND WENT THRU 2 MORE PEOPLE, ONE OF WHOM HAD MY HARD COPY INVOICE DOCUMENT IN HAND, COULD NOT ENTER MY PERSONAL INFO. (PHONE #, ADDRESS, EMAIL ADDRESS) AND, WAS NOT IN THE DEPT. THAT HANDLED THE "CAMPAIGN" REFUND; SHE TRANSFERRED ME TO "SWEETIE" WHO STILL INSISTED I MUST CREATE A JPG FILE OF MY INVOICE TO POST TO THE NEW WEBSITE. (I AM 62 BUT FIGURED IT OUT, OTHERS WON'T. I HAVE DOGGEDLY PURSUED MY REFUND BUT HYUNDAI IS MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE (WHICH I TOLD THEM). TODAY IS 4/20/15. WAITING FOR NEXT RIDICULOUS REQUIREMENT. TOO MANY PHONE NUMBERS AND WEBSITES TO LIST HERE. ALSO HAD VALVE COVER OIL LEAK REPAIRED ON 6/25/14 AND BASED ON A COMPLAINT SEEN ON THIS SITE, I AM WAITING FOR A SECOND OCCURRENCE. INSTALLED 22453-3C110 GASKET-ROCKER COVER LH, REPLACED VALVE COVER GASKET. WE CAN COMPLAIN ALL DAY BUT NOBODY IS STREAMLINING THE RECALL REPAIR PROCESS. AT LEAST I FINALLY DISCOVERED THIS WEBSITE WHICH I AM SAVING TO FAVORITES. *TR

MY 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA'S AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO FAULTY PASSENGER SEAT BELT TENSIONER. THIS MATCHES THE DESCRIPTION STATED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE14023. THIS INVESTIGATION WAS CLOSED BECAUSE HYUNDAI WILL EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO 15 YEARS OR 250K MILES. MY HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HONOR THIS WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY DID NOT GET NOTICE FROM CORPORATE. I CALLED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CONNECT CENTER 1-855-671-3059 WITH THIS ISSUE AND PROVIDED THE NHTSA CASE NUMBER. I TALKED TO A AGENT AND HIS SUPERVISOR AND HIS SUPERVISOR. NEITHER ACKNOWLEDGE THE EXISTENCE OF THIS NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE14023. THEY SAID I HAD TO REPAIR THIS ON MY OWN COST. I AM SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT HYUNDAI JUST IGNORES THE AUTHORITY OF NHTSA ESPECIALLY ON THE AIRBAG ISSUE. I HAVE RECORDED THE PHONE CONVERSATION WITH BOTH SUPERVISORS FOR REFERENCE. *TR

SINCE PURCHASING MY CAR NEW IN 2006, I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE REPLACED TWICE. FIRST ON OCT 6, 2010, THEN ON OCT 25, 2013. BOTH TIMES IT WAS RELATED TO THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATING ON THE DASHBOARD AND STAYING ON CONSISTENTLY. IN 2010, I WAS TOLD IT WAS A FAULTY SEAT BELT PART. HYUNDAI REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY. IN 2013, I WAS AGAIN TOLD IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SAME SEAT BELT PART, AND THIS TIME I WAS CHARGED $164.31 FOR THE REPLACEMENT. THIS WEEK, THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I CAN ONLY ASSUME IT'S, ONCE AGAIN, A FAULTY SEAT BELT BUCKLE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHO DID THE PREVIOUS REPAIR (DAVIS HYUNDAI IN NJ) AND THEY SAID IT WAS ONLY COVERED UNDER WARRANTY FOR 12 MONTHS.. SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT AGAIN. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND IT SEEMS TO BE UNDER INVESTIGATION BY YOUR GROUP. IT'S CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE.. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED AGAIN, AND REALLY I THINK HYUNDAI SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE FIRST REPAIR. IF THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE A SEAT BELT BUCKLE THAT FUNCTIONS PROPERLY, THEY HAVE NO BUSINESS MAKING CARS. ANY HELP WOULD BE HUGELY APPRECIATED. I PLANNED TO GO THROUGH THE BBB AS WELL, BUT WANTED TO ADD TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FILED. I HAVE RECORDS OF ALL PREVIOUS REPAIRS.

UNLESS I AM READING NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE14023 INCORRECTLY I THINK IT SHOULD BE??? CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING NOW. *TR

I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY TWO YEARS AGO AT ABOUT 55,000 MILES. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALER FOR A CORROSION RECALL AND SPOKE WITH THEM ABOUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT. THEY TOLD ME IF IT STAYS ON SOLID THEN RETURN AND THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT FOR ME. I PROBABLY COULD HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED AT THAT POINT HAD THEY LOOKED INTO IT FURTHER. SO NOW LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME, TOOK IT IN TODAY AND IT IS "SEAT BELT BUCKLES" THAT IS CAUSING ISSUE, REPAIR IS 700 DOLLARS AND NEED MY CAR FOR AT LEAST 4-5 DAYS. I AM GUESSING IT WILL TAKE ANOTHER CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT TO HAVE HYUNDAI STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AGAIN AND ISSUE RECALLS FOR IT'S CUSTOMERS. I CALLED CORPORATE AND INQUIRED ABOUT INVESTIGATIONS INTO MAKING THIS A RECALL BUT OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T GET ANYWHERE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT THE AIR BAGS DO NOT WORK NOW AT ALL. I SAW MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, HYUNDAI OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT HAVE THE SATISFACTION OR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AS A PRIORITY. *TR
