Before Nov 6,2018, we did not have any issues with our air bag control system. On Nov 6, 2018, we took our Sonata into parma Hyundai on brookpark rd in Ohio and had them perform the airbag control unit recall. They said it was complete despite the NHTSA's website saying the recall is incomplete. A few weeks after said recall was completed by Hyundai our airbag light has come on and has stayed on. We took it back to Hyundai and they refused to look at it without paying $100 something diagnosis fee. We never had any airbag issues with our car until they did this recall. Hyundai completeing said recall caused the reason for the recall in the first place.

My 2011 Hyundai Sonata' recalled engine seized while driving and was replaced by Hyundai motors America free of charge in August 2018, no one was injured. However, in less then 2 months the newly replaced engine once again seized up but this time on the freeway causing the vehicle to be hit by another driver traveling at 80 mph. The airbags, also recalled did not deploy. Fortunately, for myself, I was not driving the vehicle when the second engine seize up. The driver at 6'4 and 220 lbs suffered 10 fractured ribs, stitches in both front & back of the head as, well as, possible future back related issues. The drivers ribs and head hit the steering wheel at full force, myself at 5'7 and 145 lbs surely would have slammed my face into the steering wheel with such force, leaving little chance of survival. Hyundai motors America needs to be held accountable for replacing their faulty recalled engine with another of the same (faulty engine), failing to remedy the recalled airbags at the time of repair, removing these "death traps" off of the streets immediately, as well as, full compensation for the vehicle. Currently the other driver was found at fault for driving to fast and the vehicle has been stored and is being examined by all parties involved, insurance companies, as well as, several attorneys. I hope that this will help to ensure that this will never happen to another motorist, again. Thank you for your time. Pictures attached
