Air Bag problem #1

Dashboard is literally disintegrating into many small pieces. The area over the passenger airbag will come at the passenger as plastic shrapnel. It will also probably affect the force the bag has when inflated. This issue is from using substandard materials.

Air Bag problem #2

On September 26, 2021 the airbag indicator light in my 2012 Hyundai Veracruz remained illuminated upon starting the vehicle. Around a day later, the airbag light stopped illuminating. Around a month later, I received a letter from Hyundai regarding a warranty extension to cover the clock spring, so I contacted my local Hyundai dealership. Tracy Hyundai indicated that the clock spring is fine, however there is a faulty passenger side occupant sensor. The fault code cleared; however this creates a safety issue as it is unknown if the front passenger airbags would deploy in the event of an accident. Tracy Hyundai indicated that Hyundai corporation no longer makes this part so there is no available resolution. I contacted Hyundai corporation, however they could not assist and referred me to contact the dealership.
