Greetings, I went in for an oil change and was notified that my car airbags did not work and/or have not worked for an indeterminant time. The dealership ordered a part which still has not arrived. It’s been nearly 3 weeks, and I am unable to collect my car unless I pay $2,000. I’ve been paying out of pocket for a rental during that time, and as a college student have missed some classes. Currently, my car is still at the dealership unable to be driven safely. They say the seat sensor went bad and disabled my entire airbag system. There’s no telling how long my family and I have been at great risk of injury or death driving this car. I’m afraid to pay or pickup the vehicle as I’m unsure if it’s safe. I have been denied warranty coverage from corporate Hyundai and from the dealership. Im not sure how to proceed.

When I first bought my car it seemed to have some sort of transmission problem because it's a dual clutch I was told they do have problems sometimes when I'm trying to pick up speed it seems like it won't switch gears so it won't pick up speed which is extremely dangerous especially when I'm on the beltway or highway and I've already had Hyundai replace the first transmission because it was faulty now my second transmission is already acting up and it's only been 2 years

Air bag sensor in cushion on passenger seat does not function properly. Air bag light comes on and off multiple times. Vehicle is either in motion or stationary. Light comes on for a week and then goes away for months and comes back again. Mileage since I notice it was 48000. Hyundai said the seat needs to be replaced and I would have to pay out of pocket. This makes no sense this problem should be covered especially since the seats in my car have never been touched or replaced they have the same seats that came with the car. So this faulty system should be replaced by the company. Noticed in the complaints I'm not the only one with this issues seems like it.

In september 2017 I was in a car accident in where my 2016 hyundai veloster base was t-boned on the right rear side by an infiniti SUV. I had filed a previous complaint with the california attorney general against hyundai motor america and also a complaint against hyundai motor america themselves. My complaint was based on the fact that my vehicle was struck at a speed of greater than 30 miles per hour and less than 60 miles per hour and that the damages done to my vehicle were right on the right rear airbag sensor but none of my airbags deployed. There has also been a lingering odor of leaking gas but hyundai refuses to do anything about it because they don't want to take fault. Since that I have had severe migraines and developed really bad arthritis in both arms and both shoulders. My previous insurance company paid out more money to the people that his me and deemed the accident a 50/50 fault on both parties. Even though the fault was on both parties, that has no bearing on a faulty airbag sensor nor does it have any bearing on hyundai's right to not do anything for me. What I had requested of hyundai motor america previously was payoff of my current vehicle or a new vehicle that doesn't have faulty equipment.
