Hyundai Sonata 2008 Air Bags Frontal Sensor/control Module Review #10209742

HYUNDAI SONATA 2008 car safety problem was reported on Nov 21, 2007.HYUNDAI SONATA 2008, manufactured by HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE . the front passenger airbag light comes on when a passenger who weighs over 115 lbs is seated in the seat. the light states the airbag is off. this is definitely a serious safety issue because if the airbag is off it will not deplore if there is an accident. therefore with the exception of the seatbelt, there is no other safety feature in case of an accident. the car was purchased under the assumption there were front and side airbags which apparently will not be the case because of some sort of defect in the sensor for the passenger seat. this is intermittent but nonetheless is not a chance i should have to take with my passengers. this needs to be addressed and fixed immediately or my money should be refunded so i can purchase another vehicle with reliable safety features. the fact that this vehicle is rated 5 stars in safety features needs to be reevaluated. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):5NPET46C28H.

HYUNDAI SONATA 2008 car safety problem was reported on Nov 05, 2007.HYUNDAI SONATA 2008, manufactured by HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE . the airbag light does not go off when a lighter weight passenger is in the front passenger seat which we find very unsafe for our passengers. the weight it should register to go off as we understood is a body being over 85 lbs., but there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when it stays on or goes off to make the passenger safer. many drivers are light weight as are many passengers and this should be fixed for safety. occasionally when restarting the car, the light suddenly goes off and sets the airbag ready for use if needed, but it is very annoying to restart your car several times and a waste of gas. after several restarts and hoping, the light sometimes never goes out. this is with the same light weight passenger so it does not make sense. also the automatic headlights come on much later than dusk and therefore make unsafe driving conditions if the driver thinks they have come on and yet they are delayed much longer than normal. paying for this feature just to not have them come on in time for dusk makes for buyer dissatisfaction among the feeling of being unsafely driving with out lights at dusk. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 10 miles.

HYUNDAI SONATA 2008 car safety problem was reported on May 11, 2010.HYUNDAI SONATA 2008, manufactured by HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VISIBILITY . i purchased my 2008 sonata on march 11, 2010 about two months later the driver¿s side visor came down and will not go back up in its original position. it hangs in my line of vision making it very difficult to see. sometimes i have to hold it up manually and that in itself is very dangerous. i heard this is not covered nor is it a recall through the manufacturer. this is definitely going to cause an accident and i sure hope there are no serious injuries or deaths due to something that could have been and should have been recalled a long time ago seeing how many complaints there are about the same problem. it might seem minuet to the manufacture but to the people who are driving it, it is very dangerous and scary. i am at the point where i dread getting into the car to drive due to this because it hits me in my forehead and sometimes it hurts and it definitely distracts you. please be responsible for the defect and have it recalled and fixed correctly for all of our sakes, let¿s not wait for a tragedy. *tr.Hyundai Sonata 2008 problem was reported in CRANSTON, RI.

HYUNDAI SONATA 2008 car safety problem was reported on June 01, 2010.HYUNDAI SONATA 2008, manufactured by HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VISIBILITY . i have a 2008 hyundai sonata. the sun visors continue to fall down or sag. i've had both visors replaced within the last year and half. luckily, my car was still under warranty. however, they have failed again since then, and now my sonata is out of warranty (i have exceeded 60k miles). my research shows that the visor tension rod loses tension over time and eventually fails resulting in visor sag. obviously this is an ongoing problem because the replacement visors haven't been re-engineered, this according to a hyundai rep. you don't have to be a rocket scientist to see the hazard here -- the visor can block the driver's view or worse scalp you if in an accident. what does hyundai do? they check your warranty status and replace it with same defective part, or worse, if out of warranty, they offer to sell you a replacement at $85.00. really!! the dealerships claim no responsibility as does apparently the hyundai corporation, which should be investigated by the nhtsa for failure to acknowledge a recall. how many complaints does it take? and why are hyundai consumers stuck paying for a safety defect that is unambiguously clear? if you don?t believe me, talk to any owner of an ?06, ?07, or ?08 sonata. this is really upsetting to me because i thought hyundai was doing a good job. now, i'm having second thoughts. issue a recall already!! the p/n for the right side visor is 85202 0a750qdqqh by hyundai america. i don't have the option to select that under the equipment tab so i posted it here. *tt.Mileage was 45000 miles.

HYUNDAI SONATA 2008 car safety problem was reported on Apr 06, 2009.HYUNDAI SONATA 2008, manufactured by HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . purchased demonstrator car with approximately 2,500 miles for normal use. rear disk brake noise at 15,976 miles required both rear brake pads and rotors to be replaced under warranty. same problem happened again at 33,356 miles, again requiring replacement of pads and turning of rotors (this time it was not covered - considered normal wear items). once again, at approximately 52,000 miles, loud grinding from the left rear brake revealed that both inner and outer pads had been totally scrubbed off with light metal to metal contact, while the right rear pads still had greater than 50% of original pad thickness. the caliper slides operated smoothly and were well lubricated and sealed, and the pad slides were dirty with brake dust, but not corroded or blocked with dirt. the pads appeared to have been exposed to high heat. i replaced the pads to finish my trip and upon return it was apparent that the new pads had been dragging as evidenced by a strong smell and glazed appearance. it does not seem normal for this condition to happen - there was no grinding or abnormal noise observed during the most recent event, until pulling into our destination, when it was very loud. appears that the caliper or caliper piston is sticking to keep the pads in contact with the disk, thus overheating and challenging the brake pad life. this seems to be only on the left (driver's side) caliper. hyundai discussion forums have indicated this is a common problem that hyundai is not formally addressing. i will take the car to the dealer this week, but wanted to register with nhtsa since it is a brake issue with safety implications. *tr.Mileage was 15968 miles.

HYUNDAI SONATA 2008 car safety problem was reported on Oct 15, 2011.HYUNDAI SONATA 2008, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company had a problem with VISIBILITY/WIPER . beginning in october 2011 the driver's side sun visor began to "sag" and not stay in the up position. the condition has progressively gotten worse and now the visor is always in the fully extended down position which impairs visibility. hyundai has issued a technical service bulletin (service campaign t97) that covers replacement of the visor. however, even though this condition started to appear when the vehicle was still under the 5 year/60,000 mile warranty, the local dealer indicates the repair will cost $157 because the current odometer is now over 60,000 miles. this is a safety hazard with 2008 hyundai sonatas as evidenced by the large volume of consumer complaints that appear on various websites. the responsible thing for hyundai to do is replace these failing visors under warranty regardless of mileage because it's a serious issue of highway safety. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 57000 miles.

HYUNDAI SONATA 2008 car safety problem was reported on Oct 28, 2013.HYUNDAI SONATA 2008, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company had a problem with AIR BAGS . my car was recalled for a faulty ocs system. this sensor is supposed to disable the passenger airbag when it detects a child, but a recall was issued because the sensor disables the airbag even for some adults. i have this problem too. i often notice that the "passenger airbag off" light illuminates when certain adult passengers over 120 pounds sit in the passenger seat.. so i brought my car to the pacifico hyundai dealership in philadelphia, after examining my vehicle, the dealership representative told me, in no uncertain terms, that the mechanic verified that the system operated correctly, despite my insistence that the airbag was turned off for some adult passengers. as the purpose of the recall was to fix the sensor for exactly the problem my car was exhibiting, i was worried that the dealership did not conduct the proper tests. the fact of the matter is that the airbag on my car is disabled for some adult passengers. after hours of calling the hyundai hotline and speaking with customer representatives, i was eventually told by a case manager that the dealership did not perform the necessary diagnostic test, and i should bring in my vehicle again. this is quite disturbing--if the dealership lied to me about conducting the safety tests, they very well could have lied to other customers as well. how many other hyundai car owners are driving around with a faulty airbag because the dealership lied about conducting this safety test? how many other safety recalls did they violate? the dealership exhibited willful neglect in complying with this safety recall, and this needs to be addressed so they do not continue to do so. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):5NPET46C88H.

HYUNDAI SONATA 2008 car safety problem was reported on July 25, 2014.HYUNDAI SONATA 2008, manufactured by Hyundai Motor America had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . i recently reviewed hyundai recall campaign 121 (nhtsa campaign #14v415000), which describes that 2007-2012 veracruz models may have an oil leak at the front valve cover gasket. the recall states that "if a sufficient amount of oil drips onto the alternator, the alternator can be damaged resulting in the charging system becoming inoperative." it goes on to state a risk of vehicle running on battery power, until battery voltage drops, and then potential for engine shut off, which increases the risk of a crash. in july, i took my 2008 sonata to the local hyundai dealership for service. the service department noted on my invoice that "left and front valve cover gaskets are leaking", and that "the front is leaking on the alternator." this appears to be the same mechanical issue noted in recall campaign 121, it is just happening on a different hyundai model. in my opinion, the risk of damage to the alternator on my sonata (via the confirmed oil leak onto it) is the same as what is described in hyundai recall campaign 121. i believe the valve cover gasket leak issue with my sonata should be addressed by hyundai in the same manner as how recall campaign 121 is addressing the valve cover gasket leak on the veracruz models. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 105136 miles.
