Takata recall
Air bag dash light is on for seemingly no reason. It used to be intermittent, but it eventually stayed on. Mechanics and hyundai dealership have no answers. It comes on as soon as I start the car and doesn't turn off until the car is off. I was told my airbags will not deploy in an accident. How delightful.
