| 2000 | AIR BAGS:FRONTAL | WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. CONSUMER WAS TRAVELLING APPROXIMATELY 35MPH ,AND BOTH DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING CHECKED BY DEALER.*AK |
| 2008 | AIR BAGS | THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DASH INDICATOR WAS LIT INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAG WAS OFF WHEN MY WIFE (170 LBS) WAS SEATED & BUCKLED IN. I WAS ALSO ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS CONDITION (238 LBS). THE DEALER PLANET HYUNDAI IN GOLDEN CO COULD NOT DETECT A PROBLEM. MY WIFE & I LATER DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM WHICH WAS WITNESSED BY A SERVICE ASSOCIATE [XXX]. THE SERVICE MANAGER [XXX] CALLED & SAID THAT HE HAD SPOKEN TO THE HYUNDAI ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AND THEY TOLD HIM THAT THE SEAT SENSOR IS PLACED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEAT CUSHION & THAT PUTTING WEIGHT ON THE SEAT SIDE BOLSTERS WOULD NOT ACTIVATE THE SENSOR. [XXX] SUGGESTED THAT I PUT A CUSHION ON THE MIDDLE OF THE SEAT TO HAVE THE SENSOR BE MORE RESPONSIVE. HE REFUSED TO REPLACE ANY PARTS BECAUSE HE STATED THAT HYUNDAI BELIEVES THAT THE SENSOR IS PERFORMING "AS DESIGNED". THIS IS CLEARLY A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE & THE RESOLUTION IS INADEQUATE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR |
