Recall 02V105000, after ignition switch recall repairs were performed the defect recurred. On certain passenger vehicles, an intermittent condition that leads to the supplemental restraint system, (SRS) air bag warning light illumination could result from motion of the side impact air bag wiring harness and side impact air bag wiring harness connector which mount to the adjustable seat cushion assembly. This condition only relates to the side impact air bags, and could prevent air bag deployment during a crash where such deployment should occur. Consumer disappointed in the services rendered and the harsh treatment received.

While traveling about 5mph another vehicle traveling 30 mph hit her, and the dual airbags didn't deploy. Dealer is aware of the problem. Ph dealership stated airbags did not deploy because consumer was only traveling at 5 mph. Driver sustained minor injuries and the vehicle was considered totaled.

Had reported the air bag light being on to my dealer. They "adjusted wires" to make the light go off. The entire damage was to the front of the vehicle. Upon phone call to dealer, I was told this was a "ongoing" problem with Sonata's.

Dealership states brakes are normal. They said all Hyundai car brakes makes noise; worked on air bag light - stated it was on due to someone giving a jump in my car, light came back on 3 days later; changed a switch which was causing no acceralation, car still not getting the acceration it should. Now I'm getting some humming noise from the dashboard somewhere. I have had this car 8 month. It is a lemon and jacobs twin continues to put a band-aid on a patient bleeding to death.
