I have been in contact with dealership that I bought my car from expressing about the air bag recall and my air bag light being on. I travel for work and if an accident was to occur the air bag may not work properly. Every time I call, they say that the manufacture haven't sent in the part yet to fix it. This have been going on for several months.

Takata recall...I received a urgent recall notice about the driver side airbag not deploying in an accident. I made many calls to my dealership and to hyundai corporate offices and all I am told is "there is no remedy yet". This is unacceptable. I believe that hyundai should offer car rentals than to have customer's drive in a vehicle with an unsafe driver's side airbag!

I received a recall notice from hyundai that there was a problem with the airbag being in danger of "electrical overstress" causing operation failure. The letter said they were working on a fix. Prior to receiving the letter for the fix, my airbag warning light came on while I was driving. I called mike brown hyundai (granbury, tx) and they said they could do the warranty work. I took my car in and they said they did the recall work. However my airbag warning light is still on. I feel that my airbag overheated prior the recall work that is supposed to prevent it. The dealer wanted to charge me for a diagnosis and hyundai consumer affairs would not offer assistance. I believe my airbag system has a catastrophic failure and is unsafe.
The airbag light in my 2011 hyundai sonata came on while I was driving one day. The car has not been in any accidents. The airbag light has been on for several months now and I've been told by different mechanics that this may be the result of problems in the electrical steering system. I've checked numerous blogs and found that many other people are having the exact same issue with their 2011 hyundai sonatas.

Hyundai motor america (hyundai) is recalling certain 2011 sonata vehicles. In the event of a crash, the air bag control unit (acu) may short circuit, preventing the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side air bags from deploying.
