I agree fully. An airbag warning light should be a major red flag to anyone. Carfax would highly discourage buying any car with that light on. It's clear from your link that 2000 and after Sonatas without any engine even specified, have timing chains. Thus, your link doesn't argue V6 only. The other commenter may have been the mechanic who ripped off the reviewer, convincing him the car had a timing belt?

No, the issue is whether the 2.4 liter 4-cylinder Sonata had a timing chain prior to 2006. Whether the V6 had one or not is irrelevant. The car in the review is the four cylinder, and to try and argue that the engine was, unbeknownst to the owner, replaced with a V6 is just wrong.

The reviewer's car is disqualified "given the airbag situation"? Does this mean you really believe that every car driving around with an airbag light on was previously wrecked AND had its engine replaced? Good luck with that.
And now you are really reaching by saying the engine was not only replaced, but that they replaced a four cylinder with a V6, thereby contending not only did the reviewer not know the difference between a timing belt and a timing chain, he/she did not even know what kind of engine they had in their own car. If I was the reviewer reading this, I would be highly incensed to say the least!
