Dashboard light for passenger side airbag goes on/off randomly. Took to Coastal Hyundai 4/8/18 they verified code but found no problem. They just cleared the code. 7/15/21 same problem. Took to Wallace Hyundai in Stuart Fl. Was told passenger seat needs to be replaced for a couple thousand dollars but would check if corporate would pay a portion. Followed up but never heard back. I heard there was a recall on this but when I enter VIN it states no recall. This is a safety issue when I have passengers. The vehicle was still under warranty when I first had the problem and don't feel I should have to pay anything.
2016 Hyundai Accent airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 30 of 30, newest first, as owners wrote them.
For the last two years the air bag sensor keeps coming on. Most recent is the last few days. It's staying on, not gone off. Second time it came on, early 2019, I took to dealer. That day it had gone off but they said they ran a diagnostic and nothing was wrong. Yet again it's on since july 7th. Every time when started the vehicle, lights on dash came on but airbag light never goes off. I've been driving around with it on for 3 days..
Friday june 5,2020 I fainted behind the wheel and rear ended another driver and my airbags did not deploy which resulted in an slight head injury
My airbag light came on 3 days ago and hasn't turned back off. Today I tested my seatbelts and they don't lock like they're supposed to "upon impact". I called my local hyindai dealership who informed me that there is no safety recall available to remedy this safety issue.
The airbag light for passenger side is on and won't go out.there are a lot of complaints about this on the internet
Airbag light has been coming on and staying on for days at a time and disappears for a few weeks or so..just randomly for months now
Airbag light comes on and off at random, regardless of whether there is a passenger in the seat or not. Car was taken to a hyundai dealership, and they discovered a seat cushion with a sensor was malfunctioning. This would cost close to a $1000.00 to fix. This is a safety issue, thus, this should be a recall. Do not wait until enough people and children have died from this. Most of us do not have $1000.00 to dish out for a fancy seat cushion. I see from many complaints that this is a big problem. Please take this seriously and put out a recall for those of us that are too broke to fix a safety malfunction that came with the car.
On sunday, november 10th, 2019 the airbag light came on while I was driving with my wife in the passenger seat. It has stayed on while driving, except for a short time, on november 14th.
The airbag light illuminated on cluster.it appears and disapear.sometimes it remains steady.
Passenger seat airbag sensor malfunction. Started on 21 june 2019, I started my car and noticed the red airbag dash light on and the passenger "airbag off" light out. A few days later, I started my car and the red dash light stayed off and the "airbag off" light was working. It works off and on till this day; weight some times influences it. Most of the time it is unresponsive and the dash light is on. Dealership diagnosed it for $100 and confirmed it was the $1200 passenger seat airbag sensor.
The air bag indicator light comes on and off randomly.
Passenger airbag light for the past few weeks randomly turns on and off reading that there is no passenger with someone in the passenger seat. And will come on even with no passenger.
Airbag light is always on and passenger can get in and not buckle and light and sound never appear when car is parked or in motion (on highway or city streets), and now the doors won't lock or unlock with the key fob or manually.
I was in an accident with my 11 year old son. A woman ran a red light and we hit the car in the side completely mashing our front end. The air bags never deployed at all none of them.we were crossing the intersection on a green light!!
This vehicle has totally destroyed and flooded by hurricane maria 09/20/2017.I made claim and insurance did not declared it as " lost" because it has a new vehicle.safety features on steering wheel wont function , dash , radio, floor, seats,rear trunk was flooded. According to the manufacture company , the vehicle lost it's warranty because it has flooded. I don't need an accident and experiment air bags failure, all media system don't work to keep my hands on steering wheel.
Air bag - passenger side air bag light is illuminated and will not turn off when the vehicle is started and while driving. ( issue has been ongoing for the past 6 months and dealer wants to charge for diagnostic- car is 2years old!). Electrical- warning lights and radio turn on and off randomly while driving) other- often the car won't start (2-3 times/week) and have to get a jump. Battery is new, starter is good. Possibly issue with amps? (auto zone diagnostic did not show issue or codes). There are no recalls on this year ,make and model (2016 hyundai accent). There has been issues and recall with the 2015 make and model of the same with the air bag light coming on and staying on. Believe it was thought to be due to computer issue that affected kia as well. ( this must be a safety issue if the air bag (passenger) stays illuminated and shows the air bag to be off (wwith or without an adult passenger. Hyundai refuses to investigate saying lack of complaints and must be issue with just my vehicle. Warranty- does not cover as the mileage on my vehicle is over the allowance for the warranty.
