What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the manufacturer issued NHTSA campaign number: 18v137000 (air bags and seat belts) on february 27, 2018. Prior to the recall, the contact was involved in a crash. The contact was at a stop light when another vehicle crashed into the rear of her vehicle. As a result, the contact's vehicle slammed into the preceding vehicle. None of the air bags deployed. A police report was filed.
The cruise control malfunctions, when you press the steering wheel controls it may stay on even though you hit cancel. If you hit the reduce speed button, it may cancel cruise control, speed it up, or reduce speed. Also, the airbag deployed notification randomly turns on. It appears that some wiring running on the top middle of the steering wheel, directly under the airbag, is crowded or just malfunctioning. This happens when the vehicle is in motion while attempting to set or engage the cruise control.
