Airbag light came on. Car is in otherwise perfect shape (red flag). Brought to Hyundai dealer. Was told it was a short somewhere on front passenger side. But it will cost $250 to figure out where. Then possibly over $1000 to fix it!! Upon researching it I found many complaints on same issue on otherwise normal good condition sonata-??s. Clearly they used inferior components designed to fail. Similar to their stealable cars (with a USB cable) I-??m sure you-??re fermi liar with. They hid that until TIC TOK put out videos showing how to. They HAD TO fix it due to owners auto insurance going up (way up). I can-??t afford to repair this pressing safety issue. Hyundai should be held responsible for using knowingly faulty parts in their air bag system then charging customer large $ just to make an otherwise perfectly running car safe to operate. Oh, then they said they-??d offer me a -??loaner-?? till fixed. But their -??loner-?? costs $50 per day!! That-??s a RENTAL not a loaner.

Sonata 4-cyl

  • miles
While traveling in one direction, an oncoming vehicle attempted to U-turn in an intersection with no traffic lights or stop signs. They hit my car in the front driver's side, causing enough damage for the vehicle to be towed away and totaled. In this crash the airbags did not deploy. There was no previous indication that the airbags were faulty, no recall, and the vehicle was brand new at time of purchase 7 months prior to the incident. Luckily, I was not injured although my hand did hit the steering wheel or window (or something in that vicinity), it was too quick to really realize what specifically I hit.
