Purchase 2008 hyundai azera ltd. On dec. 29, 2008. Car has 45000 miles and has always been garaged under roof. Dash board developed a rectangular crack on top of the passenger air bag. Complained to hyundai through braman motors and claim denied for being out of warrantee. I am afraid that the air bag malfunction and explode.

Started car and air bag light stayed , I'm not sure but I think there is recall for passenger front seat ...
My mother pulled in my driveway to park. The car made a weird sound and then accelerated at a quick speed. She pressed on the brakes and had skid marks to prove it, but the car would not stop. She ran into the next door neighbor's brick house. This happened on an easter sunday. My sister was in the front seat. My mother had abrasions from the seat belt and severe bruises to the chest from the air bag. My sister had bruising to her ribs and her leg was cut, which resulted in 5 stitches.
This accident happened in waco, texas, mclennan county. Chevrolet pickup truck was traveling west on fm 308 on the inside lane. Azera was traveling north on fm 933 on the outside lane. The driver of the chevrolet pickup truck was not wearing his corrective lenses according to his dl restriction (restriction a) and disregarded a stop sign and flashing red light at the intersection. Due to this, the chevrolet pickup truck struck the azera fd to rbq. This collision spun the azera clockwise. The azera left the roadway to the east and went into a ditch and received fd damage. The azera came to rest facing south in the ditch. The chevrolet pickup truck came to rest facing north on fm 933 on the inside lane. All air bags deployed in the azera except the drivers seat and drivers side curtain. Driver received blunt force damage to his left shoulder. Surgery was preformed on march 12, 2014. Azera was towed to "big boys wrecker service, 415 s. Robinson dr., waco, texas 76706".
The "air bag" light remains on the driver's side dashboard. The hyundai dealer says there is not a recall for this specific car for that problem. The repair station has told me twice that there is a recall in their system when they pull up the information. Since the dealer will not take ownership - it is costing us $463 to get fixed so the car will pass inspection.
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.
