2006 Hyundai Accent: airbag warning light

Filed Nov 27, 2017 · Airbags · 101,000 miles · PA

Airbag light is on. Hyundai issued an extended warranty for the occupant classification system. The dealer will not determine the cause of the issue without a diagnostic fee. This is a safety issue and should be a recall so the dealer will inspect and assist.

My son has a 2006 hyundai accent and last week the air bag indicator light went on and has remained on ever since. The vehicle was previously owned by my father and has approximately 20,000 miles on it. I have read other complaints on this site and it appears that this is a common problem.

I noticed that my air bag warning light came on and stayed illuminated. I brought it to the dealer and was told that the passenger lower cushion sensor assembly needed to be replaced (for approx. $1,000). Was told that none of the airbags would work in a collision until it was replaced. Since I can't afford to replace it now, I have no airbags. (I also own a 2002 honda civic and honda just recently replaced both front airbags in a recall.) make sure that if you choose to buy a used hyundai you're in a position to spend an extra $1000 if you want your airbags to work. You might want to have the dealer do a code check to be sure that the air bags are working. Then again, it could be fine today and a b1448 code tomorrow. It's sad that the government requires auto makers to install airbags, but they don't require that they work. Facing a $1000 air bag repair, I do not recommend buying a new or used hyundai.

The air bag warning light went on. Mechanic had to replace the driver's side seat belt sensor to correct the problem. As this air bag sensor is being investigated in the hyundai sonata models, I think there may be a problem with other models this company offers, especially if they are using the same seat belt assembly in all models. Very expensive repair for a problem I have never seen in many years of driving.

The issue is that the airbag light is on; I brought this vehicle to the hyundai dealership multiple times over the last few years, and each time they ran some kind of diagnostic test on it, the airbag light would be off a few months, and then mysteriously would be back on again; I kept following this process until they told me the warranty was expired and to really fix the issue I had to cough up almost $1,000 .... And, why am I being asked to pay this kind of money for a manufacturer defect? Please finally investigate this issue and bring 2006 hyundai accent owners the kind of closure that the 2006 hyundai sonata owners had for the same issue. Clearly we have a class action lawsuit that is imminent after viewing the multiple issues with this same problem; and it's too much of a coincidence that there was a recall on the 2006 hyundai sonata's for the same issue with the airbag light. Is an analyst at your office finally going to "flag" this as a real issue and address this and pursue it. Do the research and you will find out what I did. Please contact the 2006 hyundai accent owners that also have this problem. This is more than about money, it's clear as the nose on anyone's face that this is a manufacturer defect that noone should have to pay for.

I have been to the dealership three times for the same issue with my hyundai 2006 accent. The airbag light is defective and will not turn off. I have since been told that it is upwards of a 1,000+ to fix. And the warranty is not liable, nor is it a recall or the dealership responsible. They have said that they do not know if the airbags will deploy, and the company rep did not seem to care about the issue. This seems to be a well documented issue, I am concerned why the problem has not been rectified. There have been multiple cases where there airbag has failed others, either deploying mysteriously or failing to deploy in a crash. Since this is a known defect in the manufacture, it should have been addressed. I have no money to fix this problem that is due to negligence knowingly committed by hyundai motors.
