Spokane hyundai matter I bought my hyundai in 2001 and have over 100,000 miles on my car. I am the sole owner of the vehicle. Recently (about 2 weeks ago) my dashboard airbag light went on and I called the dealership to inquire what I should do. I am concerned that the airbag may not deploy or may be defective. Hyundai spokane (the dealership who sold me the car) said to bring the car in for them to investigate. I brought the car in the next day: december 21, 2011 and the car dealership informed me that it would cost me $90 for them to run their tests to determine what is wrong with my airbag light. They went on to say that there were a couple of recall notices on the car that they could replace. This airbag concern is a safety issue that is mandatory for the dealership (manufacturer) to investigate and fix. This safety issue is for the life of the car, so even though my warranty has expired on my engine, transmission, etc; the safety (airbags) is for the life of the car. Why would I pay to have spokane hyundai investigate and fix a problem that hyundai is responsible for? If I had an accident and the airbag did not deploy or ineffective; spokane hyundai is liable and at fault. Why is spokane hyundai trying to gauge the customer (again) for expenses they are responsible for fixing? Could you pleases investigate.
