| 2006 | SEAT BELTS | ON NOVEMBER OF 2011, THE "AIRBAG" LIGHT IN MY SONATA CAME ON AND STAYED ON. UPON INVESTIGATION BY THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY SEAT BELT. I HAD IT REPAIRED AT A COST OF $325.79. AT THAT TIME I MADE A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO YOU. NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10436650 NOW I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN! MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON THE WEEK OF 4/7/13 (ODOMETER 112,660) AND AGAIN I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS THE SEAT BELT. AGAIN IT WILL COST UPWARDS OF $300.00. AND THIS IS JUST 19,250 MILES SINCE I HAD IT REPAIRED IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS AN INDICATION OF EITHER A DEFECTIVE PART OR A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT WORK WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON SO I SEE THIS AS A CRITICAL DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BY THE NHTSA. IF A VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS SHUT DOWN EVERY 20,000 MILES OR SO, IN MY OPINION THE VEHICLE IS A DANGER TO CONSUMERS. JUDGING FROM A CURSORY SEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER HYUNDAI SONATAS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR |
| 2011 | ENGINE | I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE 5 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE, IT WOULD NOT START. THE FIRST 3 TIMES A SENSOR SWITCH WAS REPLACED. THE FOURTH TIME I WAS TOLD MY BATTERY WAS THE ISSUE SO I GOT A NEW BATTERY. TODAY WAS THE FIFTH TIME AND THE SERVICE DEPT INDICATED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT THEY WENT AHEAD AND REPLACED THE SENSOR SWITCH AGAIN. I AM NOT HAPPY, I FEEL THAT I CANNOT DEPEND ON MY VEHICLE. I AM PLANNING AN OUT OF TOWN TRIP FOR THANKSGIVING AND HAVE RESORTED TO RENTING A VEHICLE BECAUSE I AM PARANOID ABOUT BEING STRANDED ON THE ROAD WITH THIS ISSUE. I PAID ALOT OF MONEY FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THIS JUST IS NOT RIGHT. I AM CONSIDERING TRADING IT IN FOR A VEHICLE THAT STARTS THE TRADITIONAL WAY (WITH A KEY). *TR |
