I was rear-ended and the driver's seat did not maintain it's position and fell into the seat behind it.
I have seen this be reported online, but apparently it only covers the kia model, not the Hyundai model. But the ods mat/bladder defect in our passenger seat in our Hyundai Santa Fe 2016. Drops codes b149000 and b1764 - this causes our air bag light to come on. This flipped on around 70k miles but because we are the second owner, we have to foot the bill out of pocket. Its asinine to think that we have to replace the entire seat and that Hyundai doesnt see this as a problem for them. Hyundai looked at our car, and again they stated we have to fix it ourselves - or pay them. They confirmed it. The problem is, it shuts our air bags off meaning if we dont foot the $2000-$3000 to replace it, our air bags just wont deploy. Thats a massive security risk. This seems to be a problem with various Hyundai and kia models, but apparently only some models with the same codes get to be replaced. Ridiculous. Attached are various issues by Hyundai, kia, with the same issue across various models. Here is the link to the same issues in a different model of kia/Hyundai cars [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
