What owners wrote
2009 hyundai sonata-2 front end collisions air bags never came out for either. Front end work done after 1st front end collision. Air bags did not come out during 2nd colision either. Concerned why the airbags did not come out for either accident.
We believe our vehicle has a takata air bag system. It is a 2009 hyundai sonata that was built in 2008. In november 2018, cracks started to appear on the dashboard above the air bags. It has gotten progressively worse since. The air bag light has come on and is consistently staying on while driving the car. The book says to contact the dealer. All indications from information online state that this is a serious safety concern and must be addressed immediately. We feel concerned about driving it.
