On October 1, 2023, I started my vehicle in the driveway to having the red airbag warning light appear as a dashboard symbol. No accidents have occurred. I do not see any recalls on this issue. I’ll be visiting the Hyundai dealership today- October 3, 2023.

The air bag light on the dashboard came on and has stayed on. I got into my car in the morning as I do everyday, and the air bag light came on. The light goes out when I turn off the ignition. But the light stays on while the car is running and while I'm driving the car. This has been a problem for over a week. I haven't been involved in any accidents or incidents that led to the light coming on. And I haven't had any work done to the car that would cause this problem. I'm worried that the air bags won't deploy if I was involved in an accident. I see others all over the internet that have been having the same issue. The cost is prohibitive to have it checked and fixed. A recall should be issued. There's no reason that the air bag light should just come on and stay on. I would like Hyundai to cover the cost of checking and fixing this safety issue.

The airbag light goes on and off intermittently. I've not had any accidents or anything so I'm not sure why it's doing this. A lot of people are complaining about the same problem on blogs on the internet. I think this should be a recall and be fixed for free.

There was no major or minor incident that would indicate an issue with the airbags. At about 07/10/20 I began to notice my airbag service light would light up after a couple minutes of driving indicating the driver seat airbag would be inoperable; however, the passenger airbag light that typically is lit "off" would not be lit indicating the passenger airbag would be currently operational. In addition I noticed that when I had a passenger the passenger airbag light ("off") would not be lit as designed and my driver seat airbag light would never turn on (indicating it being not operational.) most recently, on 07/25/20 I began to notice that the driver seat airbag would be lit from the moment I turn on the engine. It remains lit for the entirety of the drive and now the passenger side airbag seat will turn on or off spontaneously and having a passenger no longer has an effect on the driver seat airbag light.

I didn't notice exactly when happened, but basically the air bag light came on and it hasn't left. Most likely the vehicle was moving.
