ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO THE SEAT BELT LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE. WE TOOK OUR CAR TO OUR HYUNDAI DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT WE NEEDED A NEW AIRBAG INSTALLED AND IT WOULD COULD AROUND $1000 FOR THE PART. THEY ORDERED IT AND WE HAVE TO SCEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO PUT IT ON. WE ARE ON A FIXED INCOME AND $1000 OR MORE IS A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY THAT WE DON'T HAVE. WE WERE WONDERING IF THERE IS OR COULD POSSIBLY BE A RECALL FOR THIS AIRBAG PROBLEM. LOOKING ON LINE AT THE COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS AIRBAG PROBLEM WITH THE 2008 HYUNDAI ACCENT WE WERE WONDERING WHY YOU HAVE NOT RESOLVED THIS COMPLAINT WITH A RECALL. THANKS FOR YOU TIME.

AT APPROXIMATELY 67,000. MI THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, HAD AN AUTO PARTS STORE SCAN THE CODE AND SAID IT WAS PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR, AT THE TIME I USED THE CAR FOR COMMUTING TO WORK AND NEVER HAD PASSENGERS. NOW RETIRED AND CANNOT HAVE A PASSENGER FOR FEAR THAT BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT COULD BE DEADLY FOR THE OCCUPANT OF THAT SEAT, WENT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, ( I'M SECOND OWNER ) AND THE SEAT ALONE WOULD COST AT LEAST $900. PLUS INSTALLATION WOULD BE ABOUT $1200. OR MORE ON A FIXED INCOME AND CANNOT AFFORD THAT, CANNOT SELL THE CAR IT LOWERS THE RESALE, AND WHO WOULD WANT IT. GUESS I'M STUCK

CRITICAL: DRIVERS SUNVISOR UNEXPECTEDLY FELL OUT OF IT'S MOUNTING WHILE TRAVELING AT NIGHT ON A VERY NARROW 2-LANE BRIDGE. DARNED NEAR GOT ME KILLED!!!. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD AND A VERY POOR & DANGEROUS DESIGN FLAW. REPLACEMENT UNITS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND EQUALLY FLAWED. YES, MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION @ ABOUT 45 MPH AND HAD I NOT HAD QUICK REFLEXES, I COULD HAVE EITHER SLAMMED INTO THE BRIDGE RAIL OR HEAD -ON WITH AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. PLEASE GET THIS CORRECTED BECAUSE IT IS A WIDELY REPORTED PROBLEM BY MANY HYUNDAI VEHICLE OWNERS IN ADDITION TO OTHER YEARS & MODELS. THANK YOU *TR

AT END OF MAY 2016, MY AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON AND STAYED ON. I TOOK MY 2008 ACCENT TO THE DEALER ON 6/2/16 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE OCS MAT MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1400 TO $1600. IF I DO NOT REPLACE IT, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE AIRBAG SENSOR SYSTEM IS DISABLED. THIS 2008 ACCENT SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
