NHTSA Complaint #10971762 — 2014 HYUNDAI SANTA FE

EXACTLY 2,000 MILES AFTER MY 60,000 MILE WARRANTY EXPIRED, MY CAR EXPERIENCED A FAILURE OF THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE WHICH ALSO IMPACTED STEERING, YAW/STABILITY AND OTHER VEHICLE SAFETY FEATURES. THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE I WAS STARTING THE VEHICLE BUT I ENCOUNTERED NO ISSUES WHEN DRIVING IT 25 MINUTES TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT (FORTUNATELY). IT TOOK FROM 2 PM APRIL 4 TO 4 PM APRIL 6 TO GET THE NECESSARY REPAIRS DONE (THE PART HAD TO BE SPECIAL ORDERED). IT WAS NOT COVERED BY EITHER THE EXPIRED 60,000 MILE WARRANTY OR THE EXTRA ($1,500) 100,000 MILE WARRANTY (I WAS TOLD THAT THAT WARRANTY DID NOT COVER SAFETY ISSUES).
