I bought this car in September 2017. I dont know if the previous owner had the issue fixed on the recalls about the engine, brakes, and seat belts.

Hyundai announced the most recent recall for the 2011 Hyundai Sonata on February 27, 2018. To date there is no announcement on any remedy. This is a safety feature, or rather not, is Hyundai being told that this kind of delay is unacceptable. There have been so many recalls on this model.

Sonata 2011 recall was announced more than a year ago and nothing has been done: Hyundai motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2011 Sonata vehicles. In the event of a crash, the air bag control unit (acu) may short circuit, preventing the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side air bags from deploying.

2011 Hyundai Sonata - recalled 2/2018 do to seatbelts/ airbag malfunctioning. Still no solution. Customer is advised to keep driving (unsafe) vehicle while waiting. However, also advised to take straight to dealership as soon is there is a solution.

- Roanoke, VA, USA

My airbag light has been illuminated for almost a year now. I was told by my Hyundai dealer that this situation is under recall review... "your vehicle is affected by the Sonata airbag control unit recall. The remedy is not yet available. We are currently making preparations to implement the recall." I was also told that they can fix the problem for approx $2,500. I cannot afford to pay that and it has been close to a year now that Hyundai corporation has been trying to come up with a recall remedy. This is totally unacceptable and obviously unsafe. My complaint is on the Hyundai corporation for moving entirely too slowly on this recall campaign. Mine and my family's safety is at stake!

The air bag light stays on and won't go off. We've had it in the dealership at minimum 3 times in the past 5 years for this and they have never been able to correct it, just cleared the code. Car has not been into any accident or crash.

Takata recall. As of 6/30/2018 I have yet to be notified on how Hyundai will remedy this problem. I recieved a letter about this problem months ago.

- Littleton, CO, USA

Recall for the air bag control unit still has not be completed. The recall was issued in February of 2018 and still no remedy available. In the event of a crash, the air bag control unit (acu) may short circuit, preventing the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side air bags from deploying. It is unacceptable that a solution has not be found at this time. Hyundai should have to buy back all 2011-2014 Sonata's as they are a danger to the owners.

Complaint in regards to NHTSA recall number 18V137000 Hyundai has failed to remedy this safety recall for my vehicle in a timely manner. Campaign 174 is dated Feb. 27, 2018. I called Hyundai recall hotline at 855-371-9460 on May 2, 2018. I requested a rental car until remedy is provided. I was told nothing can be done, and I should contact my local dealership. Local dealership said they have no information or remedy and told me to call the hotline. Dealership said if I wanted a rental car, I could rent one myself, as nothing would be provided for me. Recall remains incomplete as of June 29, 2018. This recall is a serious safety concern and places myself and my family at a great risk of injury or death. Hyundai has acted in bad faith by providing no remedy or solution to my requests over this matter in a timely fashion. While there are no airbag warning lights active on my vehicle, you won't know the airbags and seat belts properly function until you crash. That's unacceptable. I have a case number from my initial contact with Hyundai regarding my concerns over the vehicle. Case # 11225055. Honda provided free rental cars for their airbag recalls. How can Hyundai sit idle and offer nothing? I am requesting NHTSA to please pursue this complaint to help expedite a remedy from Hyundai for this recall.

The vehicle was driving down a rural highway (340 stuarts draft, va) at no more than 35mph, no bumps or jarring when the air bag light came on. Received a recall notice for the air bag sensor on my car which said "if your light remains illuminated, please see your local dealership". so I took the car in today and they said there is no fix for the issue recalled. I asked them to tell me what it would cost for me to repair it and they said they have no part, good or bad to put in it. Hyundai took all of the sensors back for defects, didn't give replacements and will only "back order" a new part until one is made. My air bag light remains illuminated and will fail inspection soon. Then I'll have a car payment, full coverage insurance and a car that I can not legally drive. When I asked what I should do next, the answer was hope there was a fix before my next inspection.

Hyundai recall / Sonata 2011 June 2018 : no remedy has still be announced, am still on "stand by" for a " possible remedy". was recommended to continue my safety recalled car by Hyundai Consumer Affairs, by brandon R. in huntington beach. And also andrew in corporate. After patiently waiting and requesting a loaner vehicle and manufactures refund, ive been directed to corporate to wait for this. We cannot just walk into a dealership and request a loaner vehicle. After waiting 2 months still no remedy, I am legally obligated to a refund or replacement which has still not implemented. After emailing the director of Hyundai manufactures, jim trainor says he will try and help me due to the severity of my situation and relaying multiple reports of my model catching fire (non-collision) after denying my request for a refund and/or replacement in result of a loaner vehicle since no remedy has been found long after the notice described one by April 2018. This can simply be resolved if matters were taken seriously as we are told.. the manufactuers get away with too much. Instead of being greedy.. my vehicle will be in stationary and have a airbag warning light on. Electrical safety and airbag saftey make this vehicle unfit to drive. I am demanding a refund and replacement.

The air bags are under a safety recall but no fix has been created for it, but the car will not pass state inspection due to the air bags. Is there any recourse?
