When I got a new battery the air bag light came on. I took it to my mechanic and he disconnected the battery and tried to reset it, it didn't work. I then took it to my mechanic at naples dodge and he tried to get it off by hooking it up to a computer. After several tries he said he could not do it. I don't know what to do.

The air bag light on the dashboard illuminated. This marked the third such incident since the vehicle was recalled for an airbags defect and received a replacement airbag wire kit and vinyl cover on 12/12/2008 at 60,414 miles. When I took the vehicle in to the local hyundai dealership, they found that the side airbag for the front passenger seat had too much resistance because the wiring harness had fallen from the protective bracket. To address the issue, the dealership tightened the connector and secured it to a protective bracket with a zip tie. The dealership performed the work under the twelve-month/ 12,000-mile service and parts guarantee stemming from the repair for the previous incident in which the airbags became inoperable because of a poor connection at the psab connector under the front passenger seat.

Air bag light is on. Currently there is a safety recall in effect describing movement of the air bag wiring harness underneath the front seat.

Both times I've been informed there's nothing they can do because my car is not within the VIN range of the recall.

The airbag light illuminated. I took the vehicle to lakeland automall hyundai and was charged $101.93 for an assessment that the airbags were inoperable due to a faulty airbag control module. This hyundai dealership then quoted me $693.31 plus tax to perform the repair. I asked whether this issue should be covered by the recent airbag recall under which the vehicle had received a replacement airbag wire kit and vinyl cover on 12/12/2008 at 60,414 miles. Lakeland automall hyundai claimed that the faulty airbag control module was not subject to recall. Eventually, this dealership and hyundai agreed to replace the airbag control module on 2/13/2009 as a "warranty extension" for the $101.93 fee that I had already paid.
