When driving at night there is a black shadow on the windshield making it impossible to see. It is not fixed by reaiming lights. It is worse as you hit bumps in the rode. It makes it impossible to drive at night! I was driving in my subdivision and could not see a woman walking.

On July 27, 2019 driving on a county road at 50 mph in dry and sunny conditions, the airbag light illuminated as well as the passenger seatbelt light. The next morning I scheduled service right away. I started my car to go to schwartz Mazda in shrewsbury NJ on 7/27/19 for service thru my purchased extended warranty. At that time, neither the airbag or seatbelt lights were on, but nervous for mine and my family's safety, I brought the car anyway. I was informed by jarrod in the service department that they reset my computer and to let him know if the light(s) came back on. The airbag light came on briefly on August 11th while driving on a residential road going 35 mph on a dry and sunny day. I turned off the vehicle to park and then restarted my car to return home. The light was not on. Monday August 19th while traveling on a county road at 45 mph in rainy wet driving conditions airbag light came on accompanied by the flashing passenger seat belt light again. Made an appt for service on Tuesday, August 20th with once again, schwartz Mazda in shrewsbury NJ where I purchased the vehicle in may of 2018. Both lights were on upon my arrival in sunny and dry driving conditions. Their code reader produced the code "passenger mat sensor" and I was informed they would have to send it to circle Hyundai in shrewsbury for further diagnosis. I received a call from jarrod at schwartz Mazda at 11 am on Thursday August 22 with news that my repair was not covered under my purchased extended warranty and that the repairs would cost almost $600. I am fearful for my family's safety and the resources I have reached out to have been useless and unaccomodating. Why is no one concerned for the safety of airbags that will not inflate in the event of emergency? please contact me with a course of action I can take to repair this vehicle and keep my family safe.
