What 2006 Hyundai Sonata owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Passenger seat belt takes several times to remain secured and locked. Headlights are not positioned properly. At night the road is barely visible and could very easily lead to a crash if not providing proper attention and focus to road.
Responded to a airbag recall july 2013. Dealership indicated they corrected recall. However, now 11/2017 airbag light goes on. Car mechanic says light is indicating a recall on airbag. Contacted hyundai consumer affairs and was told that the correction only replaced the seatbelt not the seatbelt tentioner and we were never informed that their was no fix at the time for the tentioner. No further notice went out indicating repair could be done. They indicate it can be fixed now under campaign txx2.
Hi my airbag light is on continuously and when I scan with obd scanner it shows b1448 code.(ocs) ...so how to fix it......can hyundai dealer will repair this for free.....because its a recall as well....
Tl* the contact owned a 2006 hyundai sonata. While driving 55 MPH, the contact's vehicle was rear ended by another vehicle. As a result, the contact's vehicle left the roadway, entered the woods, and spun around several times. The air bags failed to deploy. There were no warning indicators illuminated prior to the crash. The contact sustained neck, lower back, and head injuries that required medical attention. The contact was unaware of injuries in the other vehicle. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot where it was deemed destroyed. The vehicle was not inspected to determine why the air bags failed to deploy. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact stated that in 2015, the vehicle was serviced at miller hyundai (4455 vestal pkwy e vestal, ny 13850 877‑386‑0382) per a recall number: 88801f01 regarding the front driver and passenger side buckle pretensioner and air bags. The correct recall information was unavailable. In 2015, prior to the recall repair, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The diagnosis was unknown, but a spring was replaced. The failure mileage was 154,244.
A red light appeared on my instrument panel that stated "air bag" and continues to stay lit when vehicle is driven. I am not sure if it is an airbag or sensor malfunction with the vehicle. I am making an appointment with the dealership today to have the vehicle checked for this issue.
I own a 2006 hyundai sonata.while merging into the traffic. It was recently involved in a front end collision. The crash was so bad that it affected the radiator and even broke the coolant reservoir. The main frame of the car is also damaged. Even after this level of serious crash, the airbags still didn't inflate. No airbag was deployed. I suffered some injuries. This brings me to question the safety of this car. My model was premium sports package with 3.3 v6 engine.
The airbag light on the dashboard stays on and the passenger continuously blinks. I happened to click/engage the seat belt (with no one in the seat) and the passenger light goes off but the airbag light on dashboard stays on. I do not know the exact date this started happening because my daughter drives it and she's going to colorado college in colorado springs. But today's date is 6/5/2017
I was involved in a accident on december 15, 2015 the other driver cut across three lanes and into my car at MPH 40. My vehicle was struck thrusting it into a small wall and pole. My seat belt unbuckled and the airbags did not deploy I think this is a manufacture defect.
Sensor in passenger seat cushion not working properly and will cause the airbag and seat belt light to illuminate and also causes the airbag to not deploy upon impact. This is a problem that should be a recall issued from hyundai as there are millions of people that have this same complaint.
