6 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2019

Air bag warning light staying on. Took the car to Hyundai dealership. Diagnosis code was high resistance. I am told this is a broken wire. Hyundai refused to pay the $360 repair. My extended warranty also refused to pay the repair. When the light is staying on, if in an accident none of the air bags will deploy. The car only has 67,000 miles. This is a safety problem and there are many complaints about this. I spoke with their customer care dept, they refused to pay for the repair. Their was an extended warranty on some models, but they say my car isnt on the list. I have contacted the bbbauto line, and the missouri state atty general. At no time is money more important than consumer safety. I only ask for them to rightfully repair my car. They advertise how safe their cars are and there are 6 air bags. Unfortunately they dont work. Please help and make other consumers aware of this problem thank you.

10 Warning Light On problem

I have a 2013 Hyundai Elantra 4dr GLS with 86,000 miles on it. Red airbag warning light will not turn off. Took it to local Hyundai dealer in lansing, mi. Told me it would cost $122 just to read the fault code with their equipment. They told me it was fault code b138200. They said it was the airbag front seat passenger back assembly. Part number 884003x631pbs. They told me it was not covered under warranty because I am over 60,000 miles. When I looked up the fault code it stated side airbag front passenger resistance too high. They want $1,321. 00 to fix it. Searching on line revealed many complaints on the Hyundai Elantra airbag system. I believe this should be a safety recall. Thanks.
