We have a 2006 sonata that we purchased used from a Hyundai dealer about 1 year ago (it was a lease turn in). It has about 40,000 miles on it. Yesterday, I while driving, the red "air bag" dashboard light came on. There was nobody in the passenger seat, and the "passenger air bag" was "off". I was on my way home (only a few blocks away), so when I got home, I turned the car off, waited a minute then re-started it. The air bag light came one and stayed on, so I turned the car off.
A little while later I needed to move the car, and when I started it, the air bag light behaved like the other lights, on for a few seconds at start up, then off.
I figure if it comes back, I'll contact the dealer, but I did some internet searching and saw some references to a recall in the air bag sensor in the
2006 Sonata. Was there a recall on this? Since we just got it last year, I would think any recall would have already been done by the dealer.We're on our 4th Hyundai from the same dealer, so we have a pretty good trust level with them, but I figure any information I can get would help. I checked the HMAService site and didn't see anything.
Any comments would be appreciated.
