Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The wiring for the air bag system under the driver's seat is exposed and unprotected which has led to disconnection and or damage to the wiring harness which then results in a disabled air bag system. This is a manufacturer design flaw and a serious safety issue. Other owners who have experienced damage to their wiring harness here have had disabled air bag systems for prolonged periods and costly repairs that Hyundai had refused to cover under warranty despite the fact that it is an obvious design flaw and a serious safety issue. …”
