I bought the Hyundai Sonata 2005 gle from colonial Hyundai of downigtwon PA. It was a used car with power train warranty given by the dealer. The car had approximately 73,000 miles at the time of purchase. Soon after I purchased the car the airbags lights started showing up. I went to the dealership and got it fixed, they charged me labor and scanning fees despite it not being my fault as the car had no impact to any object or accidents. Within 6 months of getting it fixed the airbags lights started flashing again, the dealership fixed it again. The airbags light again came back again for the third time, I reported it to Hyundai global customer service - their response was to take it back again to the same dealership and ask them to fix it. I did not take it back to the same dealership becasue I lacked confidence in their work hence I took it outside car service center where they ran the scan but could not find any issues with the airbags but said only Hyundai dealership can reset the lights. I now moved to NJ hence the Hyundai dealership now wants 90$ to do the diagnosis after which they will give me an estimate. I feel its unnecessary waste of time and money and I have already spent enough on this issue. I feel it's unsafe to drive the car with the airbags issue. Requesting help in this regard.
The contact owns a 2005 Hyundai Sonata. The passenger side front suspension failed while driving. The air bag deployed before impact. The contact did not know exactly what part failed because he did not have the vehicle right now because it was at the repair shop. The tie rod end was bent. While driving at about 10-15 mph heard like a crack, and then the air bags deployed, and vehicle hit a parked car. The road conditions were normal on pavement. There was no impact damage to the passenger side wheel or hub cap. The failure occurred at normal driving.
