1 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 01/08/2008

Several issues with the vehicle, airbag has had several problems, never deployed when in accident, first issue was covered under warranty, said they had to rewire it, a few months later light come on again. This time they tell me the circuit motherboard has crashed, completely disabling the airbag. Second incident was with alternator, light continued coming on, dealership said nothing was wrong with car. Car eventually broke down in traffic, alternator had went out completely and it was only a few days after the warranty expired. I was forced to come out the pocket, now there are issues with the engine. The shaft position sensor has failed and my car broke down on the interstate. There have been several issues with my car, and I use it for transportation from school and work locally.

2 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 07/31/2007

I purchased my 2003 Hyundai Sonata in April 2004. Since then I have taken my car into the dealership to have my air bag light turned off a total of 6 times. The dealer stated that connectors pins were not making good contact, he re-positioned it and stated it should be fine. It is a serious problem and needs to be addressed soon.
