The airbag light came on in my car. I took it into the phil long hyundai dealership in colorado springs and was told that the passenger occupant detection sensor in the front passenger seat was malfunctioning and needed to be replaced. At first the service representative was very confident that hyundai would pay for the replacement, but after a phone call he was told that they would not because my vehicle had over 100,000 miles and I was not the original owner. (however, I do believe that this is a defective part because the same thing happened to my sister's hyundai.) the mileage on the car was 117,108 when I had the issue diagnosed.

08 azera: air bag light comes on along with passenger seatbelt warning. First would occur intermittently 2 yrs ago but for more than a week the airbag light would stays on (even when a passenger is seated or not). Had dealer look at it (when it was on) & they indicated it is the passenger seat belt / wiring harness issue they've been replacing under a recall. Indicated the car's VIN didn't appear in recall but service rep. Said it appears to be the exact same issue. Had replaced. Now it is occurring again. Requesting hyundai corporate review and approve repair at no charge. Concerned for our safety.

Takata recall. The air bag light is on all the time. The tire TPMS light always comes on saying it failing. When driving the car is shifting funny, sometimes is jolts forward and sometimes it will not shift correctly. Car was also just stalling out at stop lights. It has not done that in a little while but it goes through spells where it will do it every time I come to a stop. I do not have an exact date when everything started.

The main air bag indicator light on the gauge cluster keeps coming on, as well as the passenger seatbelt occasionally light which occurs when someone has sat in the passenger seat, then exits. Once the seat is empty, the seatbelt light was supposed to be light off, but the air bag light on the main cluster remains lit. The only time the light goes off is when the car is restarted momentarily, but the airbag light is back on and always comes on until the engine is off. I drive a car in dangerous status every time and every day.

Air bag light on dash came on indicating the air bag would not work. My local hyundai dealer ( colonial hyundai in downingtown, pa) said the front passenger seat belt tension electrical sensor was defective and needed replacing. I paid them almost $500 to do that. The front passenger seat belt tension sensor wiring harness was the object of a previous recall on this car and was done. Since the electrical sensor is on the same wiring harness which was the object of a recall I contacted hyundai america (800‑633‑5151) and asked them if they would cover the cost of replacing this electical sensor since it was on the same wiring harness that was the object of a previous recall. They assigned me a case # [xxx] and got back to me and said they would not cover this cost. Seems odd that they would cover repairing part of this electrical assembly but not the rest of it so I am appealing to the federal safety agency for some help here or clarification. Thanks for your attention to this matter, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'

I own a 2008 hyundai azera the airbag light came on the dashboard and stayed lit. I took it to the dealership and was told there was a defective side impact airbag sensor that needed to be replaced. I was given a 2009 hyundai sonata loaner and was in an accident with that vehicle. The other vehicle t-boned my drivers side and caused over $11,000.00 in damage. The side impact airbags did not deploy. I suffered a deep gash to the back of the head requiring staples to close it--a sprained should, which I still do not have full range of motion and a softball size hemotoma on my left leg. I contacted hyundai corporation in ca to file a claim. I followed all of their protocol, filled out their forms and supplied all documents requested--ie: police report, estimate, photos, repair document from my '08 azera and overnighted the package to them within their allotted time frame. It's been 8 weeks since the accident and I still do not have an answer from hyundai as to why the airbags did not deploy.
