Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
2009 hyundai accent. Consumer writes in regards to front passenger side airbags. *ld the consumer stated the airbag light was illuminated.
When the car is started, the air bag light turns on and won't turn off. Restarted several times since and the air bag light still stays on. Another issue that I never reported is both driver and passenger sun visors won't stay up. I replaced the driver side, but this is very distracting to a driver to have the visor drop downand feel this should be considered a safety concern. The rest of the information is about the air bag light being on, not the visors.
Air bag light came on and won't shut off. Came on in morning just starting the car and has not turned off. I have unhooked battery and checked fuses but still on.
Air bag warning light for passenger seat-ocs---note many other 2009 hyundai accent have been recalled for passenger air bag issues--also 2008/9/10/11/12,etc-why not this one???
Airbag light came on when I turned the car on one day. I was informed the airbag pressure sensor had failed and would have to replace the entire seat to rectify the problem as the airbag wouldn't deploy correctly if someone was in the passenger front seat. Recently learned it was a recall for some kia models through a notice for my kia sedona, but my model wasn't included although the issue is identical.
Air bag light came on one day. And its on constantly. I called customer service and they dont care. I believe hyundai is the least trustworthy brand for car and should not be sold in us market.
The car has less than 90,000 miles, yet the air bag light came on. A mechanic diagnosed the error as b1448 ocs. The mechanic said the problem could be the weight sensor in the passenger seat, the wiring harness underneath the seat, or the control module.
My airbag light is on. I had a mechanic shut it off. It was off for a while but came back on. I have seen online where other people have similar issues. I think there needs to be a recall.
Started out to go to work, when I started the car, I noticed the "airbag" warning light on dash would not go off with the rest of the usual lighting. At the same time I noticed the "passenger" airbag light was "on". I pushed on the cushion of the front seat and the "passenger" dash light now read "off". However, the "airbag" warning light on the instrument cluster remained on. Turned the car back off and after a few minutes, started the car again. Airbag light remained lit and the "passenger" light on dash was reading "off". Disconnecting the battery cable for a few minutes did not solve,clear codes, either. Gls model with 143,800 miles.
Airbag light came on and won't go off. Took to independent mechanic stated error message b1448 is failure of passenger seat airbag sensor. I was informed that this is a very expensive repair but he thinks there is a recall. I called hyundai- they informed me there is no recall. The vehicle was in an accident and nothing happened that should have caused the sensor to go bad. I am now afraid that the airbags may not deploy as needed in this car
Passenger seat occupancy air bag sensor defect. Srs indicator light on. Dtc code b1 448 occupant classification system mat defect. Entire seat cushion with sensor needs to be replaced. Was no damage or abuse to seat, very low use and mileage. Many reports online of similar situations.
