3 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/16/2024

Airbag light came on. Car is in otherwise perfect shape (red flag). Brought to Hyundai dealer. Was told it was a short somewhere on front passenger side. But it will cost $250 to figure out where. Then possibly over $1000 to fix it!! upon researching it I found many complaints on same issue on otherwise normal good condition Sonata’s. Clearly they used inferior components designed to fail. Similar to their stealable cars (with a usb cable) I’m sure you’re fermi liar with. They hid that until tic tok put out videos showing how to. They had to fix it due to owners auto insurance going up (way up). I can’t afford to repair this pressing safety issue. Hyundai should be held responsible for using knowingly faulty parts in their air bag system then charging customer large $ just to make an otherwise perfectly running car safe to operate. Oh, then they said they’d offer me a “loaner” till fixed. But their “loner” costs $50 per day!! that’s a rental not a loaner.
