What owners say

Filed Nov 6, 2026 · Airbags · WA

I own a 2010 Hyundai Accent and the vehicle has a catastrophic restraint system failure (the red SRS light) making it unsafe to drive. I contacted Hyundai corporate via Case# 43484901 and they have explicitly refused to diagnose or remedy the safety defect citing a standard warranty expiration.

Last week my airbag red light came on out of no where, no accident led to this.This car has been maintained and any repairs done in a TIMELY FASHION I CALLED HYUNDAI HEADQUARTERS AND SPOKE TO A SUPERVISOR. SHE WENT ON AND ON ABOUT EVERYTHING BUT WHAT I WAS CALLING ABOUT. SHE THEN DEVULGED SOME INTERESTING ISSUES REGARDING MY VEHICLE. FIRST SHE SAID THERE WAS A RECALL. ON MY VEHICLE.I BELIEVE SHE SAID 944, WHICH SHE SAID WAS A RUST ISSUE RECALL ON THE UNDERCARRIGE. SHE THEN WENT ON TO SAY THE PASSENGER SIDE SAFETY was an issue and complaints from other accent owners of airbag light SHE THEN SAID OH I BET THATS WHY YOU AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON . SHE DID ALSO SPkEAK OF MY CAR HAVING SOME SORT OF EXTENDED FACTORY WARRANTY., CALLING IT EITHER A TXX OR POSSIBLY PXX WHATEVER THAT MEANS. I HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS ONLY TO FIND OUT THERE ARE MANY HYUNDAI ACCENTS THAT HAVE HAD airbag IREPAIRED FOR FREE. I WAS NOT TOLD THAT MINE WOULD ALSO BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. DUE TO MY PERSISTENCE THEY EXPEDIATED MY COMPLAINT TO A CASE MANAGER WHOM I SHOULD HEAR FROM IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. MY CASE NUMBER IS 18924458. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS? IT OBVIOUSLY IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND HAS OCCURRED IN MANY ACCENTS. What should I do until I hear from case manager? What happens if I disagree with the case workers decision? I do have receipts for close to $ 2,000 worth of routine maintence and repairs which I will upload to you depending on the findings of the case manager.

The air bags randomly stopped working. I was not in a collision or near anything that would have made my air bags deploy or stop working. I have two air bag lights that are staying on to let me know that the airbags are not working. I had a mechanic do a free consultation and he could not find anything wrong with the airbags besides the airbag being faulty.

The break lights are not illuminating. I was not notified of any recall on my car after purchase and I don't think it was ever repaired. My air bag light is continuously on even though diagnostics have been ran and no code comes up.

Airbag warning light keeps coming on. After taking it to the dealership no error codes populated, but the late came back on two weeks later. Dealership cannot find any issues. I've seen past complaints of this in similar model cars, however hyundai will not cover due to warranty being expired.

I was driving approximately 20mph when I heard a breaking noise from underneath my 2010 hyundai accent when I lost steering power, the brakes didn't work and the accelerator as well. This caused me to lose control of my car resulting in me crashing into another parked vehicle. Thank god it wasn't on a hwy going 65-70 MPH. I see there aren't any recalls on any of the mentioned problems. Also to note I had to replace a coil pack that I read another owner had problems and the airbag light came on and I'm thinking there's also a problem with that too. Thanks hyundai for not keeping your consumers safe. How many people have to die in accidents cause of manufacture defects before they investigate and issue a recall. I will never purchase another hyundai. Buyer be warned!
