Recall for the air bag control unit still has not be completed. The recall was issued in february of 2018 and still no remedy available. 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. It is unacceptable that a solution has not be found at this time. Hyundai should have to buy back all 2011-2014 sonata's as they are a danger to the owners.

Complaint in regards to the federal safety agency recall number 18v137000 hyundai has failed to remedy this safety recall for my vehicle in a timely manner. Campaign 174 is dated feb. 27, 2018. I called hyundai recall hotline at 855‑371‑9460 on may 2, 2018. I requested a rental car until remedy is provided. I was told nothing can be done, and I should contact my local dealership. Local dealership said they have no information or remedy and told me to call the hotline. Dealership said if I wanted a rental car, I could rent one myself, as nothing would be provided for me. Recall remains incomplete as of june 29, 2018. This recall is a serious safety concern and places myself and my family at a great risk of injury or death. Hyundai has acted in bad faith by providing no remedy or solution to my requests over this matter in a timely fashion. While there are no airbag warning lights active on my vehicle, you won't know the airbags and seat belts properly function until you crash. That's unacceptable. I have a case number from my initial contact with hyundai regarding my concerns over the vehicle. Case # 11225055. Honda provided free rental cars for their airbag recalls. How can hyundai sit idle and offer nothing? I am requesting the federal safety agency to please pursue this complaint to help expedite a remedy from hyundai for this recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 hyundai sonata. The contact took the vehicle to crenshaw hyundai (330 huffman mill rd, burlington, nc 27215, (336) 584-1144) for routine service and a diagnostic testing was completed on the air bags. The contact was informed that the air bag module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the repair fees. The VIN was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 18v137000 (seat belts, air bags); however, the part needed for the repair was not available. The manufacturer informed the contact that the part was not available for the repair and opened case number: 11401169. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator remained illuminated. The approximate failure mileage was 121,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
The vehicle was driving down a rural highway (340 stuarts draft, va) at no more than 35mph, no bumps or jarring when the air bag light came on. Received a recall notice for the air bag sensor on my car which said "if your light remains illuminated, please see your local dealership". So I took the car in today and they said there is no fix for the issue recalled. I asked them to tell me what it would cost for me to repair it and they said they have no part, good or bad to put in it. Hyundai took all of the sensors back for defects, didn't give replacements and will only "back order" a new part until one is made. My air bag light remains illuminated and will fail inspection soon. Then I'll have a car payment, full coverage insurance and a car that I can not legally drive. When I asked what I should do next, the answer was hope there was a fix before my next inspection.
Hyundai recall / sonata 2011 june 2018 : no remedy has still be announced , am still on "stand by" for a " possible remedy". Was recommended to continue my safety recalled car by hyundai consumer affairs , by brandon r. In huntington beach. And also andrew in corporate. After patiently waiting and requesting a loaner vehicle and manufactures refund, ive been directed to corporate to wait for this . We cannot just walk into a dealership and request a loaner vehicle. After waiting 2 months still no remedy, I am legally obligated to a refund or replacement which has still not implemented. After emailing the director of hyundais manufactures, jim trainor says he will try and help me due to the severity of my situation and relaying multiple reports of my model catching fire (non-collision) after denying my request for a refund and/or replacement in result of a loaner vehicle since no remedy has been found long after the notice described one by april 2018. This can simply be resolved if matters were taken seriously as we are told.. The manufactuers get away with too much. Instead of being greedy.. My vehicle will be in stationary and have a airbag warning light on. Electrical safety and airbag saftey make this vehicle unfit to drive. I am demanding a refund and replacement .
The air bags are under a safety recall but no fix has been created for it, but the car will not pass state inspection due to the air bags. Is there any recourse?
Takata recall for suspension feel like we are bouncing up in down or the vehicle is going to fall apart. I notice the light on for the passenger airbag and the seat belt keep getting stuck or sometime want lock. This is concern for me because we take road trips and have to drive a long distance to get to work myself and husband would like to feel safe. I really feel that the frontal air bags seat belt pretensioners and side air bags are disabled and the suspension is a risk for many people lives. I subject you get these vehicle in the shop asap before something terrible happen. Please make sure that each shop have an experience mechanic last mechanic we had for a recall we had to come back several time and the vehicle still run like crap. Maybe you should refund people the remainder of there loan. I still have a balance of 6,000 which comes to all the trip and time consuming. I also called every dealer in minnesota trying to make appointment could someone contact me asap to let me know that the parts are in. Myself and husband is taking a road trip and would like for the problem to be taken care before the end of june.

I am appalled at the conditions I've had to endure with my sonata. I've never seen or owned a more unsafe vehicle. My steering column broke, the engine was replaced twice, I've dealt with electrical problems, now it's involved in the airbag failure recall and I've needed to take my car in due to the 13 recalls. My sonata is one of the first made. It's from the alabama plant. I would like to hear why the federal safety agency has not made hyundai buy these vehicles back? I don't have the option of just going out and buying a new vehicle. I've raised my granddaughters and am now afraid to take them anywhere in my car. I'm begging that you make hyundai get these cars off the road. It sickens me to know I've owned several hyundai's. Given them my trust and dedication to only feel they've turned their backs on me and the safety of my family. I'd really like to be contacted. I have records of all my work done. The only thing I could not get was receipts for warranty items they determined I didn't need receipts for. Even after I complained and demanded them. My vehicle was purchased and serviced at superior hyundai north in fairfield oh. I have so many records, even recordings, that I can't possibly upload them all on here.
Air bag light came on about 2 weeks ago. I looked up my car to see if there was a recall for it and there is but there was no remedy listed.

There is a recall saying my airbags and seat belt may not work in a crash but there is no remedy. This has been a recall since feb 27th. I don't know what is considered a "timely" manner for hyundai to respond but I am uncomfortable driving my car without getting this fixed yet I can't because hyundai doesn't know what to do.

Air bag light stays on , car was never hit.
The light for airbag is on the dashbborad
Air bag sensor is on horn stopped working
Airbag light illuminated, dealership says sensor needs replacing which requires replacement of front passenger seat track assembly. Sensor is part of assembly and can't be replaced separately. Cost with tax will be $975. Another code came up along with this one. One on steering column was covered by hyundai so can't understand why this one shouldn't be as well. Seems asinine to have sensor integrated into seat track and not replaceable on its own.
