2012 HYUNDAI SONATA Air Bags Problems

Noticed there’s a crack on the passenger side dashboard of the car that’s about 12 inches long. From what I read this could cause issues with any possible airbag deployment.

My 2012 Hyundai Sonata (VIN: [XXX] ) experienced complete engine failure at 241,433 miles on August 7, 2025. The failure aligns with known safety defect symptoms described under NHTSA Recall Campaign 15V568000 and 17V226000, which cite premature bearing wear due to metal debris during engine manufacturing. My vehicle had previously received the knock sensor update under Campaign T3G and failed the BCT (bearing clearance test), confirming bearing damage. Despite this, Hyundai denied my engine replacement claim, stating the issue was related to a fuel pipe and not a rod bearing issue—this is contrary to their own recall documentation and dealer diagnosis. Hyundai continues to deny engine replacement, in violation of their federal recall obligations under 49 U.S.C. §30120. Their refusal endangers public safety by ignoring engine failures that can lead to stalling and crashes. I request NHTSA intervention to compel Hyundai Motor America to comply with federal law and perform the necessary recall repairs on my vehicle.

This is the 2nd Hyundai I've owned, same year make and model. The first one was totaled due to the air bag deployment. The accident did not warrant the air bag deploying. I should have reported it at the time. I didn't realize that I could and now it's too late. The claim has already been submitted. Now, we have the same exact car and a crack has appeared on the passenger dash. My concern is the airbag. The crack just appeared from nowhere. I do not feel that we should have to pay for a replacement dash. Is this something that can be repaired by Hyundai, as it poses a risk to my 18 year old student driver. My number is [XXX] , [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

With no warning my car left me sit on the side of the road and when started the engine made an awful knocking noise. Hyundai denied to replace the engine despite there being at least 2 engine recalls. When I asked why they said it was due to no maintenance records so I provided them with maintenance records like they requested and then they deny it again and say they aren’t replacing the engine because the problem with my engine had nothing to do with the 2 engine recalls my vehicle IS affected by.

Airbags failed to deploy. I was involved in a hit and run accident. Vehicle has not been inspected. I had a recall done on it with paperwork confirming it was fixed. I have 4 herniated discs in my back and neck.

On [XXX] while driving approximately 1.5 hours away from home, a warning message appeared on my dashboard stating: “Hybrid System Warning. Stop and Do Not Drive.” I immediately pulled over and contacted my insurance company, who arranged for the vehicle to be towed to the nearest authorized Hyundai dealership (Thomas Hyundai in Cumberland). The warning clearly indicated that it was not safe to continue driving. Later, I found out that the issue reported (recall 198) have presented cases ending with fire of the engine. It is critical to mention that in January 2025, I attended the official manufacturer recall for this vehicle, which was supposed to ensure safety and reliability. Despite this, the vehicle failed and left me stranded in an unsafe area. Since then, I have been without my vehicle for over three weeks. I contacted Hyundai customer care and opened a case. I was repeatedly told a case manager would call me within three business days, but I never received any follow-up until I insisted. I was eventually assigned a case manager named Snowy, and also remained in contact with the dealership. On several occasions, both Snowy and the dealership assured me that the vehicle would be ready by Thursday, July 10 and that It was not until then that I could start to request a reimbursement for my rental expenses. I repeatedly asked for confirmation because I am renting a car at my own expense in order to go to work and manage my life. However, on Thursday, July 10, I called again and was told the vehicle would instead be ready by Tuesday, July 15. Then, on Friday, July 11, I received an email stating that the engine had just arrived, and that the dealership was only now able to begin repairs. After that, and only once the car is finished, Hyundai will “review” the case and determine whether I qualify for reimbursement. This is unacceptable. I have been without a vehicle for over three weeks, forced to rent a car entirely at my own expense. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA),

2011-2013 SONATA (YF) AND AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT (RECALL CAMPAIGN 174) I did the recall at Sterling Mcall in 10/2022 and I had no airbag light before after I did the recall the airbag light came on the dashboard -The dealers scanned the car and it is visible on the baseboard however the dealer is reluctant to repair it and asked 3 weeks of diagnostic and 500 dollars only for diagnostic and nothing about the repair I showed them the recall repair failure is their responsibility and the airbag should be permanently fixed not to be worried about it from time to time The dealer's excuse is that car titles salvage however the car is being serviced at the dealer and is passing state inspection every year. I filed a complaint in BBB nad the dealer failed to respond and sent me a threatening letter for emailing their executive.

Sterling McCall Hyundai at Houston 77074 installed an airbag unit as part of a recall last visit. The airbag light came, and I went to the dealership to fix the light, they said they were not responsible, and they wanted a $490 inspection cost plus the repair, and I had to leave the car for 3 weeks. They scanned the car and airbag showed on the dashboard The dealership must install genuine parts that do not require fixing every couple of months, which is their responsibility. I am flagging the Belvoir on my recall so far. this is not a good reputation for your company I hope this is done urgently to avoid further issues and we maintain a good relationship rather than fighting

My seatbelt in the front seat does not work effectively. My airbag light is on Recall 169 ANCHOR PRETENSIONER INSPECTION is the recall I see that is associated with my seatbelt Recall 174 AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT Is the recall that I see associated with the airbag light Both recalls say they are completed. I called the Hyundai Dealership and they said reach out to the manufacturer because there are no open recalls on my car. Both are safety concerns that I hope can get addressed.

Vehicle went over a pothole where the manhole cover was few inches above ground. Vehicle was traveling at 15 MPH. The driver side seat and airbags deployed on it went over the pothole.

The hybrid warning system came on. The ready light is blinking and beeping. The car is jerking

Airbag clock springs module malfunction disabling emergency deployment of the driver’s side airbag in the event of a collision. My 2012 Hyundai Sonata 2.0 Turbo with 93,336 miles on it, ending seized up going at highway speed causing instant and complete loss of power. Smoke started coming out from under the front engine compartment hood making me think the car was on fire. Trying to get the car manuvered off the highway and over to the right side of the road I was almost involved in a collision with other traffic. I was scared almost to death. Hyundai Motor America is now refusing to repair my vehicle even though it is covered under their extend warranty.

Airbags light shows up on the dashboard one day and it won’t go away, I was just driving and it came on. No collision has occurred causing airbag light to come on.

The front dashboard panel that protects the passenger side airbag has cracked in several different places. These cracks have created pieces with sharp and pointed edges that may cause injuries to face, eyes and upper body of the passenger in case of an airbag deployment.

The brake lights keep going off, they have been replaced several times. The passenger airbag deployed on a stop sign and cracked the entire windshield. The steering wheel feels like it’s going to come off. Please help

My vehicle sometimes stops on the highway. I get the alert hybrid system warning, do not drive. The dealership was charging over $8000 to fix the problem. They even told me they don't know if the problem will be solved after changing my oil pump

Mileage: 89,696

Sitting in parking lot with car running in park and passenger airbag deployed with person sitting in the passenger seat. No injury to passenger but windshield broke and driver seatbelt will not move now.

The air bag light is on in my dashboard and this car has never been in an accident before and I’ve gotten it checked by a professional mechanic and the code is reading driver airbag resistance high codes B1346 and B1481

The contact stated while his wife was driving 35 mph, another vehicle intercepted her lane and crashed into the front driver-side tire. No air bags deployed. The driver sustained injuries on her left leg and her neck but did not seek any medical attention at the moment of the crash. The contact stated the following day, she called her primary doctor and was receiving physical therapy for her injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not drivable. The insurance company deemed the vehicle a total loss. The vehicle was towed to a collision shop. A dealer was not contacted nor made aware of the failure. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

Mileage: 130,000

Cracked Dash Board The Dash Board has two cracks that run from Windshield to Passenger area. Located right where the SRS label is and the airbag is located and second crack is about 5 to 6" to the left. Dealer states that the Airbag will not deploy correctly if needed. I have read a lot on line about this issue, . In cases that Hyundai would correct the issue but in my case they will not. I have spoken with someone that had same issue and the Dashboard was replaced by Hyundai because of my very concerns. I am looking to see how this can get replaced without me having to pay $4000 to get it repaired. This car has been maintained and kept in very good condition.

The break light don’t want to turn off Seat belts don’t latch

On March 19th, 2022 I was t-boned and my airbags failed to deploy causing me to slam my head against my window. I herniated two discs in my neck because of the accident. My 2012 Hyundai Sonata had just had it's engine replaced due to the engine recall and had also never been in a wreck. My airbag light came on after the wreck. Sent my car to be fixed and light went off. I was hit again 2 weeks ago and afain, airbags failed to deploy. Notified Hyundai of the situation and was told my car wasn't part of the airbag recall.

Involved in a head on crash with a deer at 63 mph. Front end completely smashed in. All components including air bag sensor detached from vehicle on impact. Airbags did not deploy.

Fake Place and fake appointment. They give me an appointment after 1 month and I went to do the recall on the airbag unit they told me no part.Very bad experience

The Air Bag sensor light will not turn off. several months ago I had brake light sensory issues that cost me $1,500.00 and now its the Air Bag light.

The airbag warning light went on while driving without any cause, no recent accident or repair. After starting the engine, the light goes off for a couple seconds, goes back on, then stays on most of the time while driving but will go off for a minute or two occasionally. Checked for codes and looked at the fuses - both are good. I'm reluctant to take it to the dealer based on the probable repair cost and believe this should be a recall issue.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the airbag warning light illuminated on the instrument panel upon the start of the vehicle. The contact called the local dealer and an appointment was scheduled to diagnose the vehicle. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 41,000.

Mileage: 41,000

My air bag light turned on without any code. My dash cracked with only 40K miles.

On March 19th I was involved in wreck where the other driver was at fault. The lady t-boned me on my driver's side. Airbags never deployed so my head smashed Into the window leaving me with a concussionand spinal injury. My usually working horn failed as well. I would also like to mention that I have only had this car a year. I was also told it was never in a wreck and had 1 owner. Nope. A week after I got it, I was driving and my engine seized while I was doing 70mph. The steering stopped working, but somehow managed to pull off to the side. i had to stay in my car because of the busy highway. It was 100+ weather and my windows wouldn't work. I sat there for 2 hours. Took the car to a shop just to find out about the engine recall that I believe my car wasn't apart of, but should have been. Fought with Hyundai for them to fix it then lost my job because I was denied a loaner car while waiting. 2 months later they finally fix it. Now the breaks do a weird grinding thing a lot, my shifter slips out of place, the steering column wobbles, the engine is constantly making a disturbing noise and is sluggish, it has trouble shifting when accelerating. I have had the car rapidly accelerate instead of slow down when stopping at a stop sign or light. I only got it to stop after stomping the breaks repeatedly while throwing it in park and turning the car off all at the same time. Emergency break and traction control light come on a lot. It's throwing a high speed can bus code, but only sometimes. My gas mileage has went down to 16-18 mpg. Oil changes are necessary every month. AND my taillights burn out every 1 to 2 months. Now I have 4 traffic tickets. And that was all BEFORE the wreck. Hyundai refuses to call me back after they reluctantly fixed the first recall.

Front and back lights keep going out. Replacing monthly. Also air bag light starting to show off and on

front Seat belts do not fasten properly and air bag light stays on. I don’t see a pending recall, however did notice certain models recalled. This is a huge safety issue that is very concerning to me. I would appreciate if someone could get in touch with me to discuss further. Thank you.

THINKING IT WAS FLORIDA HEAT RELATED, I PAID IT NO ATTENTION. DURING THIS COVID PANDEMIC I NOW SEE THAT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG NOTATION ON THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AS WELL, AND THE LAST TIME MY HUSBAND AND I RAN AN ERRAND, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WENT ON. NOW I'M AFRAID TO USE THE CAR TO ANY EXTENT EXCEPT AROUND TOWN FOR SHORT ERRANDS AND WAS WONDERING WHAT I SHOULD DO. THE RECALL NUMBER 174 SHOWS NO OPEN RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE...HOWEVER....ALL RECEIPTS I HAVE SINCE I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE DO NOT SHOW IT HAVING BEEN REPAIRED. I SEE THAT THE INITIAL REPORT OF THE RECALL (NOT REMEDY) WAS INCORPORATED INTO THE SEAT BELT ISSUE, HOWEVER, THE REMEDY NOTICE IS THE ONE I HAVE NO RECORD OF HAVING BEEN REPAIRED. THE DEALER HAS RECOMMENDED OTHER WORK BE DONE ON THE VEHICLE EACH TIME I'VE BROUGHT IT IN FOR A RECALL ITEM (??)! *TR

I GET IT BACK ON A BIG CLOUD OF WHITE SMOKE PRODUCES AND CUTS OFF AGAIN WHILE IN TRAFFIC. PRIOR TO PICKING THE CAR UP THE MANAGER OF THE SHOP CALLED INFORMED ME TO COME PICK IT UP AND BRING A BATTERY DUE TO THE BATTERY IN THE CAR IS DEAD. THE CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP...THEY DID NOT HAVE THE COURTESY TO CHARGE TO BATTERY TO TEST THE WORK THAT WAS DONE. I TAKE A BATTERY UP THERE THEY KEEP THE CAR FOR ANOTHER WEEK OR 2. WHEN I PICK IT UP THE ARMREST IS BROKEN THEY PUT A SCREW IN THE POSITIVE CABLE POST TO HOLD THE POST IN PLACE; I GUESS. THERE ARE ASHES ON THE FLOOR AS IF SOMEONE WAS SMOKING IN THE CAR, PUT DIFFERENT COLOR ANTIFREEZE IN THE ANTIFREEZE RESERVOIR; MEANING THEY MIXED THE FLUIDS THAT WOULD CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS. I CALLED THE MANAGER AGAIN IMMEDIATELY AND TOLD HIM THE CAR IS DOING THE SAME THINGS. TOLD ME TO DRIVE THE WHITE SMOKE OUT, CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE DON'T STAY RUNNING.

THE AIRBAG CAN DEPLOY AT ANY TIME OR THE AIRBAG POSSIBILITY WON'T DEPLOY IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO HYUNDAI AND THE HYUNDAI EXECUTIVES, AS THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HYUNDAI AND THE SONATAS AND THEY WILL NOT TDO ANYTHING TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD FOR USING DEFECTIVE MATERIALS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMETHING THAT HYUNDAI SHOULD RECALL AND FIX.

THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL NUMBER 169 ON MY VEHICLE AFFECTING THE SEATBELT PRETENSIONER. I HAD IT CHECKED APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS NOT DEFECTIVE. MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE THAT TIME. NOW I TOOK MY CAR TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME MY SEATBELT PRETENSIONER IS FAULTY. THEY ARE CHARGING ME NEARLY $800 TO FIX IT. THEY ARE STATING SINCE THE RECALL WAS "CLEARED" THEY ARE UNABLE TO RE-OPEN IT. THIS IS DISHONEST. THEY KNOW THAT THE PART IS DEFECTIVE AND ARE REFUSING TO FIX IT. JUST BECAUSE IT HADN'T BROKEN WHEN I HAD IT CHECKED, DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY STILL SHOULDN'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. I AM NOW DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY ARE REFUSING TO DO THE RIGHT THING. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS.

THE AIR BAG DASHBOARD WARNING INDICATOR HAS BECOME ILLUMINATED AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS WHEN BECAME ILLUMINATED. THE SONATA IS A 2012 WITH 37,000 AND HAS NOT BEEN IN A CRASH TO ACTIVATE THE AIR BAGS. HYUNDAI WANTS TO CHARGE ME $150 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC PLUS REPAIR COSTS.

FAULTY AIRBAG AS A RESULT OF FAULTY CLOCK SPRING. TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP (DUE TO AIRBAG LIGHT), AND APPARENTLY CLOCK SPRING PART IS BACK-ORDERED. HOWEVER, DEALER AND HYUNDAI CORPORATE TOLD ME TO CONTINUE USING VEHICLE DESPITE FAULTY CLOCK SPRING, AS THE VEHICLE IS STILL "OPERABLE". EXTREMELY DISTURBED THAT HYUNDAI CORPORATE WOULD NOT ADVISE ON ESTIMATED TIME OF CLOCK SPRING ARRIVAL. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE, GIVEN THE BACK ORDER, WHICH SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED ASAP, AS THERE MAY BE MORE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD WITH THIS ISSUE - UNBEKNOWNST TO DRIVERS.

I PURCHASED A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA FROM SMITTY'S AUTO SALES IN DES MOINES IOWA ON 2-24-2017 AND WAS TOLD CAR HAD CLEAN TITLE AND 70,000 MILES. I NOTICED THE ODO SAID 26, AND ASKED THE DEALER HE SAID IT WAS THE TRIP NOT ACTUAL MILES. I WAS SCEPTICAL ABOUT CAR SO I CALLED BACK THE NEXT DAY TO SEE IF THIS CAR HAD SALVAGE TITLE THEIR CRAIGLIST AD SAID CLEAN TITLE WHICH WAS FALSE. I WAS INFORMED IT WAS A SALVAGE BY FLOOD AND THAT THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T WORK. I WAS ANGRY ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK FOR FALSE ADVERTISING AND AUTO FRAUD THEY KNEW AIR BAGS WERE NOT WORKING AND THE VEHICLE HAD OUTSTANDING RECALLS AND DIDN'T DISCLOSE ANY OF THIS IN WRITING. WHAT CAN I DO?

I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WON'T GO OFF. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS. THE CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. I'M WORRIED THE AIRBAGS WON'T INFLATE IF I AM EVER IN AN ACCIDENT. 5 YEARS IS TOO EARLY FOR SENSORS TO WEAR OUT.

TAKATA RECALL??? 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA AIR BAGS NOT WORKING. THE AIR BAG LIGHT IN MY 2012 SONATA (BOUGHT BRAND NEW) STAYS ON. MY CONCERN INITIALLY WAS THAT THE BAGS WOULD DEPLOY SPONTANEOUSLY BUT WHEN TAKEN INTO DEALER, I WAS TOLD "THEY WOULD NOT DEPLOY AT ALL - EVEN IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT." THIS SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURE'S DEFECT. COULD THIS BE UNDER THE TAKATA RECAL? .

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL MALFUNCTIONS WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN 6 YEARS OLD. IT STARTED WITH CLICKING IN THE WHEEL, KEY STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND NOW MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND THAT IS A MALFUNCTION IN THE SYSTEM. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING IS A MALFUNCTION THAT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING TO A CAR LESS THAN 6 Y/O. MY CAR STAY IN THE SHOP FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER. I CAN HONESTLY SAY I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER HYUNDAI OF ANY KIND.

I HAD BEEN DRIVING AND EVERYTHING WAS OK. I GOT HOME AND HAD NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS ON. I STARTED THE CAR UP 10 MINUTES LATER AND MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANTED LIKE 70 DOLLARS TO DIAGNOSE AND THEN MORE MONEY FOR LABOR. THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT. I COULDN'T AFFORD IT. HONDA DIAGNOSES AND COVERS STUFF LIKE THAT 100%. THEY SAY HYUNDAI HAS THE BEST WARRANTY BUT SO FAR NO PROBLEMS I'VE HAD HAS BEEN COVERED. A MECHANIC AND NEIGHBOR OF MINE SAYS THEY'VE SEEN MANY HYUNDAI AIRBAG LIGHTS AND ARE SURPRISED THERE'S NOT A RECALL.

LAST WEEK, MY POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE EPS DASHBOARD TROUBLE LIGHT AS WELL AS THE AIRBAG AND ESC LAMPS ALL ILLUMINATED AT THE SAME TIME. THANKFULLY, THERE WAS LIGHT TRAFFIC AT THE TIME SO WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE TO REGAIN MY COMPOSURE. USING EXTREME CAUTION, I DROVE THE NEXT FEW MILES BACK HOME CAREFULLY AVOIDING ANY SUDDEN SITUATIONS WHERE I WAS FORCED TO MAKE SHARP TURNS. I HAD AN EXTREMELY HARD TIME STEERING. YESTERDAY, I TOOK THE VEH INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS, THEY SAID THE STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THAT SOMEHOW IT WAS ALSO CAUSING ALL THE OTHER UNRELATED TROUBLE LAMPS TO LIGHT AT THE SAME TIME!. APPROX. $1200 REPAIR COST. THE VEH IS 2012 WITH 82,000 MILES. I ASKED IF IT WAS COVERED BY THE 100K MILE WARRANTY. THEY SAID NO. AFTER ONLY 4 YEARS OF OWNING THIS CAR, I CAN'T BELIEVE THE STEERING COLUMN BROKE. I NEVER HEARD OF THAT BEFORE. I WENT ON-LINE AND NOTICED THAT 2011 SONATA'S HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM THE YEAR PRIOR AND AS A RESULT, THERE WAS A NATIONAL RECALL TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING FAULTY EQUIPMENT. I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK THAT PERHAPS THE SAME FAULTY EQUIPMENT WAS PERHAPS INSTALLED IN SOME OF THE 2012'S ALSO.

VEHICLE TYPE: 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA SE ON THURSDAY APRIL 14, 2016 AT APPROXIMATELY 6P IN THE EVENING THE AIR BAG CHECK LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED IN MY VEHICLE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, AND WAS TOLD TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE ISSUE ADDRESSED. ON SAT APRIL 23RD, I WAS TOLD THAT THE REPAIR WAS $436 TO REPLACE A CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY (PART # 93490-3Q120). DUE TO THE FACT THE VEHICLE HAS OVER 60,000MI, THIS EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT IS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY. I WAS ASTONISHED TO FIND THAT SOMETHING OF THIS IMPORT WOULD EVER NEED REPLACEMENT AND THAT SUCH FAILURE IN THE DEVICE WOULD PREVENT MY AIRBAG FROM DEPLOYING IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. FOR THIS REASON, I BELIEVE THAT THE WARRANTY ON ANY SUCH ITEM SHOULD BE UNLIMITED. WITHOUT THIS REPAIR, I DO NOT HAVE A FUNCTIONING AIRBAG. I CONTEND THAT THE REPAIR OF EQUIPMENT REQUIRED BY THE NHTSA SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND WARRANTED BY SUCH FOR THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE, AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE IS OPERATIONAL.
