Consumer Description

SENSORS CAUSE AIR SYSTEM LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE RESET AT DEALERSHIP TO CLEAR. TECHNICIAN SAID AIRBAG WON'T DEPLOY WHILE THIS FAULT OCCURS. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE 4OR 5 TIMES. WHEN I GOOGLE HYUNDAI SONATA AIRBAG ISSUES I SEE MANY SIMILAR EXPERIENCES WITH OTHER PEOPLE. THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. I WAS TOLD IT WAS CAUSED BY A SEAT SENSOR. YET UNDER WARRANTY THEY DID NOT REPLACE. NO CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR
