Car dealership sold me a car without out checking for recalls…?
I bought a used car from a dealership a month and a half ago. Last week i noticed that the passenger air bag was malfunctioning and not activating when passengers were in the seat. The car (Hyundai) came with a 2 month, 2000 mile 100% parts and labor warranty from the Honda dealership which i bought it from. When i went back to get the airbag system looked at, Honda said i would have to go to the Hyundai dealership to get it looked at because Honda didn’t have compatible scanning tools. Turns out that there was a recall in 2005 that the previous owners never took care of. The recall dealt specifically with the recalibration of the airbag sensors in that passenger seat. Shouldn’t Honda have looked into the recalls on the vehicle before selling it to me? They gave me no notice or information at all. Somebody could have been killed without that airbag working properly.

Yeah I’d be a little upset too after giving them all that money.Oh well,no harm done though.Maybe drive over to the Hyundai dealer and hope they don’t try to fish you in on some dealership scam.
i dont think that the dealership would be liable. I think it would have been better for you to have researched the car a little before buying.
good luck though
Ever car on the road has recalls or technical service bulletins You are not always contacted unless it is a common safety issue or if you bring it to the dealer for that specific problem
NO! A safety recall becomes the issue of the buyer. It is not mandatory if the owner does not feel like taking it in. You are being very rude about the situation. Just take it to Hyundai and stop crying.
