Seat Broken Problems of Hyundai Elantra

Airbag light turned on while driving on rough road on hwy appx. 59k miles. Had passenger in car appx 200 lbs. Took to dealer at 60,500 miles. Is either a faulty seat bracket $2500+ to replace the passenger seat or damaged srs module $1000+, or possibly both. Dealer recommends bring car in for additional diagnostic to remove seat an center console $300+ in labor just for that. My warranty conveniently expired at 60k. Dealer could not guarantee a 500 mile extension to my warranty so I will not be proceeding with repairs. This is an unacceptable practice from Hyundai, I did nothing wrong to my car, this is a factory defect.

I was involved in a collision on i35 in saledo, TX in November 2007. I was in the right lane behind a semi. I switched lanes (into the left) to pass the semi when I saw a semi tire in my lane. I had no time to react. There was a retaining wall with no shoulder on my left and a semi on right - I had no choice but to hit the tire. I was thrown into the retaining wall where the front end of my car struck the concrete barrier. My car continued to spin, hitting front to back, 3-4 more times. During the impacts my driver's seat broke (stuck in a reclined position), which resulted in my injury (l1 burst fracture). I was taken in an ambulance to scott & white hospital where I underwent extensive surgery, and a three week stay (my family and I live in forney, TX). Since that time I have been unable to work and am continually suffering complications from the burst fracture. Had my seat not broken, I would not be in this situation.
