I have a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. A few days ago, I got in my car and the airbag light illuminated and did not go off. I have an appointment scheduled this week to have it look at, although I see it is an issue with a lot of the same make, model and year sonatas. Very aggravating. The whole line of 2011 Hyundai Sonatas should have been recalled with all of the complaints and ongoing issues. This is the 14th issue I have had with this car from date of purchase. It is absolutely ridiculous on Hyundai's behalf to sell a vehicle with this many issues.
