The need to get a better supplier or find someone who knows what they are doing.]]>Apr 16th 2008 2:24PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/hyundai-recalling-nearly-400-000-sonatas-to-check-seat-sensor/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/hyundai-recalling-nearly-400-000-sonatas-to-check-seat-sensor/]]>Apr 16th 2008 2:42PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/hyundai-recalling-nearly-400-000-sonatas-to-check-seat-sensor/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/hyundai-recalling-nearly-400-000-sonatas-to-check-seat-sensor/
But when I got back into my car after they did the work sitting on the passenger seat was a piece of paper. It was a notice from Volvo Corporate to all owners experiencing the same problem I was. Basically it was some BS about how each person is different and the sensor may be confused by how someone is sitting in the seat. Also it said if the light is on, that may not mean the sensor is broken but rather the way you are sitting, so to solve the problem adjust your body in the seat.

Thats a good way for Volvo to cop out instead of realizing there is a problem with the sensor.

These are critical safety parts, it's happened repeatedly with Hyundai, and they shouldn't get a free pass or "break" as you suggest.

These airbags are getting so cheap to produce now days. But it's the sensors that's tricky to programme.


P.S. Don't you just get so irritated when you see these Asian car adverts (I'm talking about Japanese and Korean and elsewhere) that they always chop a side of the demo car off (doors and entire A,B,C-pillars) to get this side shot? It looks so fake lol, and they always overlay some low-opacity airbag images over it. ]]>Apr 16th 2008 2:45PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/hyundai-recalling-nearly-400-000-sonatas-to-check-seat-sensor/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/hyundai-recalling-nearly-400-000-sonatas-to-check-seat-sensor/
Stranding the driver, spontaneous fires, loss of control at speed, very serious. Front airbags? Unless they go off when they shouldn't, BFD.

From this description, it sounds as if the 'passenger airbag deactivated' light remaining on with an adult passenger is an indicator of a vehicle with the problem. You'd think owners would have noticed that from day one.]]>Apr 16th 2008 4:09PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/hyundai-recalling-nearly-400-000-sonatas-to-check-seat-sensor/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/hyundai-recalling-nearly-400-000-sonatas-to-check-seat-sensor/
