I drive a 2005 Hyundai Elantra. The airbag system in the car is faulty as indicated by the airbag light. The passenger side airbag system was recalled in 2005. In 2007 I took my car to fairfax Hyundai to have it repaired. After the car was repaired I noticed that the airbag light was on. At the time I did not know it indicated that the airbag system was faulty and the people at the dealership didn't mention there was a problem with it. (at that time the airbag system was still under warranty) since then I have taken my car to be safety inspected and I revisited the fairfax Hyundai dealership to have other items on my car fixed. No one mentioned it was an issue. When I went to the dealership they were sure to tell me about other (expensive) problems on the car but never said anything about the airbag light. Recently I went to have my car safety inspected again (as required by virginia law) and the inspector has now caught the problem. I took it back to the dealership and they want 100 dollars just to look at it. The are telling me repairs could be up to 500 dollars. This is outrageous! what are my options? as I understand it, I am driving around with no airbag system. For two years I have been driving around family members, some are children, without airbags.

I was in a car accident with my 2005 Hyundai Elantra. My front end of my vehicle was significantly damaged. Identical to the other vehicle. My air bag didn't deploy and my seatbelt didn't latch. I slid under the belt up to my ribs, smashing my knee, feet and fist into the dash. My airbag light lit up as if my airbag deployed. My repair man was appalled that the airbag didn't deploy. He said I had very significant damage and it should have deployed. I don't believe I would have been injured to the degree that I was in the accident. I am supposed to get my car back tomorrow (repaired!?) nothing was done to address the airbag situation except resetting the light on the dash. Hyundai replaced the seatbelt, they told my repair man that the pre-tensor went off as it should. . . That is a lie. Otherwise I wouldn't have slid under the seatbelt. I think this is a huge coverup. I know of another victim of the Hyundai 5 star crash rating. . . . I will have her contact you as well.
