2002 Hyundai Sonata air bags problems

“MY ROOMMATE GOT INTO A T BONE TYPE ACCIDENT SHE WAS GOING AT LEAST 25MPH AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY BUT IT HIT HARD ENOUGH TO RIP THE CORE SUPPORT OFF, WE HAVE PICTURES. SHE DID NOT TAKE THE AMBULANCE BUT SHE'S WILL PROBABLY GO TO THE ER LATER”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE HIT A POT HOLE AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYED INADVERTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 181,800. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.”

“AIR BAG LITE STAYS ON, HAD NO ACCIDENTS, OR CRASHES, DEALER WANTED ME, TO SPEND A ARM AND LEG TO REPLACE THE MODULE CONTROL UNIT. I SENSED, THAT THAT MAY NOT BE THE PROBLEM, I TOOK IT TO A INDEPENDENT SHOP, AND HAD IT DIAGNOSED, WITH A SCANNER, AND THE SCANNER SHOWED A CODE BD1406 PPD. WHICH STANDS FOR PASSENGER PRESENCE DETECTOR, AND SHOWED THAT IT WAS DEFECTIVE. SO ITS A FAULTY SENSOR. WHICH TRANSLATES TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I CANNOT AFFORD, TO SPEND $1.500 FOR A MODULE, WHEN IT SHOULD ONLY BE THE DEFECTIVE SENSOR UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT, WHICH SHOULD TOTAL AROUND $360.00 INCLUDING LABOR, AND THE HYUNDAI MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FIX. BEFORE I GET INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT, AND MY LIFE IS AT STAKE, INCLUDING MY CHILDREN, AND WIFE. I CONTACTED, HYUNDAI, AND STATED THAT I HAVE A DEFECT, AND THEY WANTED PROOF, AS FROM, A DEALERSHIP, OR OTHERWISE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO RESOLVE THIS DANGEROUS DAILY TASK.”

“TL * THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG CONNECTORS AND WIRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.”

“I HAVE HAD THE SONATA AT THE ARAPAHOE HYUNDAI DEALER ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS HAVING THE AIRBAG LIGHT RESET/FIXED THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A CONNECTION PROBLEM AND THEY HAD TO USE A SPECIAL GRACE TO FIX IT NOW IT'S THE THIRD TIME THE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND I'M HAVING TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN NOT KNOWING WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO FIND THIS TIME. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET THERE'S HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH PROBLEMS WITH SONATA AIRBAG LIGHTS LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HYUNDAI NEEDS TO RECALL. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WILL NOT WORK IF THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON THANK YOU *TR”
