2006 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

My airbag light has come on. The censor in the passenger seat has failed and isn't recognizing the weight of the passenger. The recall is active for several 2006 Hyundai Sonatas, but when I enter my VIN, my Sonata does not show that recall. The problem has been confirmed by the Hyundai dealership. It is available for inspection upon request.

The airbag light is ON. Malfunction in Occupant Classification Sensor is detected by the Hyundai dealer.

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON, THE DRIVER SEAT BELT DOESN'T ALWAYS SECURELY CLICK DOWN, AND THE PASSENGER OCCUPANT LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY WORKS. THE BUSHING IN THE REAR SPINDLE IS SEVERLY WORN AND CAUSING THE CAR TO SWAY AND BOUNCE ON ROAD MAKING IT HARD TO CONTROL.

I WAS DRIVING 25 MILES WHEN THE REAR AXLE BROKE. ACCORDING TO RESEARCH, THIS IS A PART THAT WAS NOT REPLACED IN RECALL IN 2013. I NEED THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOT MOVING. I ALMOST CRASHED THE CAR WITH ANOTHER ONE. WE WERE MY PREGNANT WIFE AND ME. RECALL 113
