I took my vehicle in to be repaired for the recall for the air bag sensor. Three months later the light came on again and I took it back to have it evaluated and now they are saying that it the seat belt buckle pre tensioner sensor. I said to them that it was repaired already and they said that it was not . Through further investigation I found on a web site from the hyundai dealer for campaign 094 that when repairing the wiring harness that they are to look at the sensor as well and fix at that time and submit a claim for this. Now they are wanting to charge me for something that should have been repaired in the beginning.

However, the consumer would have to pay for the labor. The consumer stated a recall was issued regarding the air bag problem and therefore he should not be responsible for the labor.

The consumer believed the part that was replaced in 2010 was also defective.
Split dashboard cover on 2006 hyundai azera. Started to split at 58k miles and a second split has developed at 74k miles. Splits are just above the airbag.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 hyundai azera. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 30 MPH, the side curtain air bag suddenly deployed. After the deployment, the air bag and traction control lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where she was informed that the failure was caused by a problem with the air bag and instructed to call the manufacturer. The contact called the manufacturer and was informed that the failure was due to a collision sensor and they could offer no assistance because the sensor indicated that the vehicle had been in a collision. The current and failure mileages were approximately 48,000.
Air bag light stays on. Do not know if air bags will deploy car has been at dealership for over 3 weeks. Recall notice received about 2 weeks ago, yet they are unable to get part.
I have owned my 2006 hyundai azera since 9/06. From the beginning my complaint to them has been the passenger air bag would not engage when I was sitting as a passenger. I am petite but the answer of "you are just too thin" was really not the professional answer I was searching for. This also has happened when my 16 year old 180lbs son was my passenger. In 1997, I was involved in a head on collision with a drunk driver. I was very adamant with the service dept about this issue as I know my air bag deployment saved me in that crash. When did hyundai know this was a problem with the azera during the years they were telling me I did not weigh enough. What will I be before this gets fixed, if they are better than toyota at that, or, if I am involved in another innocent accident? I just don't think this recently discovered as it has been happening to me since 2006. I feel as if my life has been arbitrarily ignored for the past 4 years and that is wrong.
I own a 2006 hyundai azera 4 door. The front headlamps do not reflect out sufficiently. The driver side lamps reflect down and create a severe blind spot and extremely poor visibility. I took vehicle to a local hyundai dealer and was told nothing can be done to correct this safety hazardous. I went on line yesterday and discoverd there is a recall for this problem what can I do to have this problem with my vehicle repaired? Also, I saw my model vehicle has been recalled for a malfunctioning stop lamp switch. And, the wiring harness for the right front seat belt tension sensor has a defect which can prevent the air bag from deploying in the event of a crash. How do I get these defects on my auto corrected?
Drivers side air bag deployed but was so small drivers head struck roof of car causing neck and back injuries and never made any contact with airbag. Drivers forward motion in accident was stopped by hitting head on roof.
Air bag light goes on when two adults are in front seats. Red airbag light on driver's side and "airbag off" light on passenger side. After three attempts dealer cannot fix problem. Contacted hyundai factory rep without results.
Repeated ( four occasions ) warning on dashboard that the airbag system was not functioning properly. Dealer has been unable to solve problem. Driver's door repeatedly will not latch. Oil leaks repeatedly - three occasions - head gasket replaced twice complete electrical failure twice - alternator replaced transmission rough shifting and rough, delayed engagement into reverse on 12/30/08.
Air bag: the air bag light on the driver side instrument panel stays on and the passenger seat 'icon' flashes when no one is sitting in the passenger seat. At this time the "passenger air bag off" sign is also on. I first noticed this condition in the summer of 2007, however it only occurred one or two times so I thought it might be heat related as on the two days it happened it was extremely hot. I did not notice it all winter long, however once the weather started getting warm it started to happen again. Now it is happening on a weekly basis and lasts several days in a row. My mechanic has looked at it but has not been able to determine what the problem is. I am concerned as to what the status of my air bags is-- are they working or not. The date of the "incident" is the approximate date of the first time this occurred last summer but as I stated it is now happening on a regular basis.
We have a safety issue with our 2006 hyundai azera limited. The front passenger airbag system that features an occupant classification system or ocs is not working. We have advised our dealership of the problem for almost a year and have been told the system works as designed. When my wife sits in the car's front seat (her weight is 137 pounds) with or without the engine on and buckles in, the dashboard airbag light below the speedometer stays lit and a middle console indicator says, "passenger airbag off." to make the system function properly we have had to place the transmission in park and turn off the engine. Once restarted, the two front passenger airbag indicator lights go off and the front airbag system works normally. The service manager at our hyundai dealership in huntsville, al said that the system is operating normally if the dashboard indicator lights reset after we restart the car. All previous diagnostic tests by the dealership have found zero errors in the system. On 14 june 2008, we started our car in our garage and both the dashboard and center console indicator lights remained on. We turned off our car's engine and restarted it 5 times to get the system to reset without success. My wife sat in the back seat for safety. The front airbag system would not reset after multiple stops during the day. We brought the car to our hyundai dealer on 16 june and service personnel are still diagnosing it. I called hyundai's recall center to see if our azera's front ocs airbag is similar to the 2006 to 2008 hyundai sonata ocs recall (#08v161000) and was told to contact my dealer. When I relayed this information to our hyundai dealership's service manager he said that hyundai had not informed him of any problem. This is a serious safety concern and if the 2 systems are similar then the sonata ocs recall should be extended to the azera model too.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 hyundai azera. When someone is seated in the passenger seat, the air bag sensor indicates that the seat is unoccupied. The passenger side seat belt light and the air bag indicator lights illuminate as well, regardless if the seat is occupied or not. The vehicle has been to the dealer on four separate occasions: july, september, december of 2007 and june 4, 2008. On each occasion, the service technician could not duplicate the failure or make any repairs. The current mileage was 18,474 and failure mileage was 1,500.
Sensor fails for seatbelt/airbags resulting in ?????
Thumping noise under rear of vehicle, possibly suspension components, when going over speed bumps or even a smooth road, and while making a turn. Intermittent problems: red "air bag" indicator light stays on while vehicle is in operation. "passenger airbag off" indicator light stays on when passenger seat is occupied.
Air bag light is always on.
Passenger air bag intermittently disengages while driving. With an average size adult sitting in the passenger seat, the airbag light (indicating that the air bag is disengaged) often turns off while traveling.
