Consumer Description

MY 2012 HYUNDAI ACCENT JUST PASSED 100,000 MILES AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH A 2006 HYUNDAI AND I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A LONGSTANDING ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE MODELS AND YEARS. THE FIX CAN BE VERY INVASIVE AND EXPENSIVE AND ONLY SOME ARE COVERED BY RECALL. CHECKING THE VIN NUMBER, MY HYUNDAI IS NOT CURRENTLY COVERED BY A RECALL, BUT I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE AS THIS IS A CONTINUING ISSUE.
