Airbag light is on so I took it to local dealer. They told me the issue was with my driver's side seat belt and they would have to run more tests to pin point the problem. Of course these test we're not free of charge so I declined them. They informed me that neither airbags would deploy in an accident. How this issue is not covered blows me away.

What owners say
Regarding the federal safety agency reference # 1088179: my air bag light started staying on around february 2017. I made appointment on phone with only hyundai certified service dealer near my home 3-2017and drove to chico (70 miles away). They said it must be battery and charged me for a new battery. I called them around april 1, 2017 telling them light was still coming on and they said I would have to buy a whole new seat and system, no safety issue recognized by hyundai, therefore I would be responsible to entire cost regardless of safety issues. I called hyundai USA which gave me a case # 1012618 but said there is no recall on file with hyundai and I could file a complaint with the federal safety agency. I am sending them a copy of what I am filing with you. I looked up other hyundai accent 2007 complaints and hyundai said there's not enough to make a recall. A local auto repair agreed to replace items for my paid invoice amount enclosed. I'm filing this now because I don't want to be a statistic for seat belt failure or faulty air bag deployment and maybe help someone else.
The air bag light is in and won't go off. I am worried the system won't work in an accident & also concerned that their has not been a recall on the airbags that have injured others when deployed
My airbag light has came on in my car. Dont know which airbags it is.
Air bag light is on with code b1517, and b1448. Shop is unable to determine whether airbag will deploy or not. How many people have to complain about the same issue before something is done about it? I've read multiple complaints over the same issue. If an air bag doesn't deploy that could most definitely be fatal.
