2011 Hyundai Sonata Seats Problems

“Airbag light came on at 66800 miles. Took car to Hyundai dealership being told driver seat needs replaced because sensor went bad!!!! Says it will be like 800 dollars to get a new seat. So airbags won't work unless I buy a new seat. There should be a safety recall done on these 2011 Hyundai Sonata limited with this problem!!!! I have read that lots of people who own these cars have the same problem!!!!”

“Sensors cause air system light to illuminate. System needs to be reset at dealership to clear. Technician said airbag won't deploy while this fault occurs. I have had this issue 4or 5 times. When I google Hyundai Sonata airbag issues I see many similar experiences with other people. This could be a potential safety hazard. I was told it was caused by a seat sensor. Yet under warranty they did not replace. No car is out of warranty.”

“I just purchased my 2011 Hyundai Sonata from a previous owner. Several recalls repairs have been performed on the vehicle prior to my purchase. The issue I'm reporting - the driver's side seat is stuck in the recline position and the seat will not go back up or move forward to incline position. I'm driving with no back support. The other driver's power seat controls work except for the one that raises the back of the seat. In the event of a crash, the seat could inadvertently recline and increase the risk of a very serious injury or fatality. …”

Car doors lock with key fob inside. 5) shaky steering wheel, that I've complained about since I owned the car. 4) seats are suppose to be leather, leather is cracking in the front around the base of the seat. …”
