NHTSA Complaint #10644996 — 2002 HYUNDAI XG350

IN 2007, WITH A LITTLE OVER 50,000 MILES ON MY CAR, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A LOOSE WIRE AND RESET IT. SINCE THAT TIME, I'VE HAD SIX OTHER INCIDENTS UP THROUGH 2014 WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING BACK ON AND EVERY TIME THEY'VE RESET IT, IT HAS COME BACK ON. I HAVE EVEN HAD A MODULE REPLACED BUT IT DID NO GOOD. THE LAST TIME I WENT IN, THEY WANTED TO REPLACE THE PAD ASSEMBLY FOR $1,000 BUT WOULDN'T GUARANTEE IT WOULD WORK. THEY ALSO SAID IT MIGHT BE THE HARNESS BUT THAT PART COULDN'T BE OBTAINED. THEY ALSO SAID THEY COULDN'T GUARANTEE THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD WORK!!! I HAVE LOOKED AT OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM SEVERAL WEBSITES AND SEE THAT THERE ARE DOZENS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE NO AIRBAGS. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN A MINOR TRAFFIC INCIDENT WHERE THE AIRBAG PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED WHEN THE CAR HIT THE CURB BUT DIDN'T. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR
