2008 Hyundai Sonata Seat belts Problems

“Air bag warning light came on when driving and passanger seat belt light flashes when a passanger is present, even when the passanger seat belt is buckled. The dealer said it was due to a faulty sensor in the passager seat buckle and was not covered. I still have not fixed, but I must before next state inspection. I am reporting because I saw recent report of investigation into this matter.”

“The passenger buckle was replaced in april 2017 after airbag light came on. October 2019 went to dealer to have airbag light checked and they again say the passenger buckle needs to be replaced. They say it is not covered by Hyundai 15 year warranty on seat belt buckle issues. Code is b1518. They say it has to flash a different code for the extended warranty. Paid $406 in 2017 for the repair and will need to pay $480 to have it replaced again. I rarely use the passenger seating because I usually drive alone. I am the original owner.”

“Airbag and front passenger light came and stayed on. On march 20, 2012 dealer stated recall took my car for a week then returned no lights. The problem came back again on august 14, 2012 and they refuse to do any further work because my 2nd owner warranty expired in april of 2012, the dealership won't even honor the parts/labor warranting their work for 1 year I was told they were supposed to do. This is bad for me because I chronically ill. …”

“The other day, I found the srs airbag warning light keeps on on the instrument cluster and then I found that the seat belt warning light in the front passenger's side is also on and the passenger air bag off indicator is turned off when there is no passenger or luggage on the seat. I went to the local dealer and it turned out to be that vehicle has no communication from occupant classification system (ocs) module under the front passenger's seat.”

“I purchased a used 2008 Hyundai Sonata from a Hyundai dealer there was no indicator lights on the said the care had been inspected. I had the car for 3 weeks then a air bag light was on. So I took to the dealer because I had bought a 2 year warranty on the car. They told me that I would need a new seat belt buckle and they would have to reprogram the computer. Them I was told it was not covered under my warranty and I would have to pay over 400 dollars to get it repaired. How is this legal to sell a vehicle that is knowing sell a vehicle which they know about?”
