GOT THE CAR WHEN MY MOM DIED IN 2015. SHE RECEIVED A RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS BUT WHEN I TOOK IT DOWN TO GET IT FIXED THE GUY TOLD ME AND MY DAUGHTER IN LAW THAT I WAS A WEEK TOO LATE TO GET IT FIXED AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT NOW IF I WANTED IT FIXED. I DON'T HAVE THE CARD THAT WAS MAILED ANYMORE BUT HOW IS THIS SAFE FOR ME, MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS?

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. HYUNDAI ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM. THE DEALER WILL NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE WITHOUT A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL SO THE DEALER WILL INSPECT AND ASSIST.

SUN VISORS BREAK OFF AT THE CONNECTION POINT AND AND THEN FLOP DOWN BLOCKING YOUR VIEW OF THE ROAD. THIS IS FROM JUST NORMAL USE. THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR BROKE LAST YEAR. I HAD IT UNINSTALLED BECAUSE A NEW ONE, ( WITH SAME DEFECTIVE PLASTIC CONNECTION ), COSTS $150.. PLUS INSTALLATION. THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR JUST BROKE OFF THIS MONTH.

I HAVE A 2006 ACCENT. I RECENTLY FOUND OUT IT NEEDS A PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR PANEL REPLACED IN ORDER TO FIX THE AIRBAGS. (THAT IS, MAKE ANY OF THE AIRBAGS WORK) I JUST NOW LEARNED I HAVEN'T HAVEN'T HAD AIRBAGS FOR 2 YEARS.!!!! (ACTUALLY OUR KIDS HAVEN'T --OUR SONS HAD THE CAR AT COLLEGE, DRIVING HOME ON THE INTERSTATE FOR 2.5 HOURS - WITH NO AIRBAGS) THE LIGHT WAS ON. FIRST 2 YEARS AGO. I ASKED MY MECHANIC. THAT MECHANIC NEVER ALERTED ME THAT I HAD TO GO TO A DEALER. MY CURRENT MECHANIC DID - SO WE WENT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER, PAYING THEIR $80 SERVICE FEE JUST FOR THEM TO TELL ME IT WILL COST ME AROUND $960 TO FIX IT!!! I KNOW FROM FORUMS THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLE

I'M DRIVING MY CAR FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS NOW AND THE LIGHTS FOR THE AIR BAGS ARE STILL ON AND HAVE NEVER WENT OFF. SO I THOUGHT, SUPPOSEDLY MAY BE THE FUSE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT SO FAR TO THIS DATE I CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT'S THE ISSUE OTHER THAN A FAULTY AIR BAG SYSTEM. NO I HAVEN'T TAKEN THE CAR TO A DEALER YET, BUT I NEED TO KNOW AM I THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS ISSUE.I LOVE THE VEHICLE BESIDES ITS UNINTENTIONAL POOR GAS USAGE I AM A SATISFIED CUSTOMER. BUT PERHAPS MAYBE ITS TIME TO START SEARCHING FOR A MORE EFFICIENT NEWER CAR. BE CAREFUL WHEN BUYING USED CARS EVERYBODY.
