2003 Hyundai Santa Fe airbags problems

Filed Jul 4, 2018 · Airbags · CO

The airbag lights keep coming on - I am now on my third repair to fix this ongoing problem. I likely need to replace the airbags! So costly but it is a safety issue so how can I not? This is a known and ongoing issue and hyundai should be responsible and cover this defect.

Airbag light remains on so this is a safety issue. Will I have to pay for this? I really don't know the history of this vehicle I never received a car fax on it. That is why I need to know if there were any recalls on the airbag with the airbag light remains on. I know this might be because of the module having to be replaced.

My airbags were defective. I was in a car accident, and the airbags did not deploy. After the accident, I was taken to the hospital to treat multiple bodily injuring, which could have been prevented if the airbag had deployed. I was driving in town when the accident occurred. I overshot a turn and hit a poll on the left side of the car. The car flipped and was totaled. Again, no airbags were deployed. I have included pictures of the car after the accident. My main concern is the issue with the airbags. I feel as though these should have worked properly and that I am fortunate enough that the accident was not any worse, as more serious injuries could have then occurred. If needed, I have more pictures; however, due to the file size allowed, I have limited it to key picture. Please let me know.

My hyundai santa fe air bag light turned on. I googled this issue and it seems like a lot of hyundai santa fe owners experienced the same thing a little after reaching 100k miles.

I was in a minor accident when the braking system failed on my 2003 hyundai santa fe. I could not stop the SUV and ran into a guardrail . I could have been hurt or killed because of this. Others could have been hurt or killed. The dealership in beaver falls, pa has done nothing for the problem and I have brought it in and they said that my model is not affected which I find that very hard to believe. I am selling the car but I also want to let someone know that I am taking it to the dealer in the morning to get the coil recalls done. If the dealer decides not to do that either and with the air bag problem someone is going to get hurt or maybe killed driving this car and I just want to do my part and I do not want a law suit on my shoulders. I will give them one more chance to do the right thing. I have not drove the car since I had the accident and want to sell it and to do so I am having it inspected too. All the work should have been under warranty at the time I had the accident ! I guess it must be to expensive to fix and a life does not matter anymore to anyone in this sick world.
