What owners say
The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Accent. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the passenger’s side air bag warning light illuminated. The contact stated that after a visual inspection of the vehicle, she became aware that the vehicle was leaking oil. The check engine warning light was also illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed with failures to the passenger’s side occupant sensor and the catalytic converter. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was unknown.
Airbag light came on while driving. Took the car to the dealer and the dealer noted PODS MAT DEFECT. Dealer recommended replacing mat and unit. As the vehicle warranty for 5 years just expired, the burden for repairs is unfairly falling on me. I contacted Hyundai and they told me that the warranty expired and they cannot cover the cost for the fix. This is very expensive (greater than $1500) and should have been covered by the manufacturer .
Randomly have the passenger side airbag light go off on dashboard then an warning light in gage cluster for air bag issues will come on.
The airbag warning light comes on and won’t go off. According to the Hyundai dealership it’s just a faulty mat on the passenger side but they are claiming it’s a $1400 fix.
I bought it used with 63,000 miles around 11/8/20, everything was going good, and one day I noticed the airbag light was on. Over a the next couple of days, the light would stay on & if I turned my car off and on again, it would turn off but come back on a couple minutes later. I looked it up, and it talked about a possible issue with the airbag system or the airbag sensor. I also noticed that a lot of people had the airbag light issue with their hyundai vehicles, mostly the accent models.
Occupant classification system defect. My car was only 2,000 miles out of warranty and hyundai will not cover this defect. Right passenger seat air bag sensor mat is faulty causing the air bag light to come on. I've done my research online and this is pretty common. It should be a recall and I shouldn't be having to spend $1,400 to get it fixed.
The air bag warning light came on (and stays on) for no apparent reason when car was started. The car has not sustained any impact or any damage. It appears a sensor has failed. The car has less than 42k miles and is in perfect shape.
Whenever I start driving the driver side airbag light turns on and won't turn off until I turn the car off and then back on and it still turns back on when I start moving.
Airbag light came on. Got it diagnosied and appeared code b1490 (occupent classification)
