Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
The air bags warning light has gone on and is always on at just 117,780 miles. The dealership has informed me that when the light is on this has disabled all my car airbags. I was driving on the freeway at 70 MPH when I first noticed the red air bag light. I asked my passenger to read about this in my user manual while driving.
I have an issue with the air bag light being on and a coworker had the same issue with hers. With the light being on it prevents me from getting an inspection sticker in my state. This has been an ongoing issue for the last several years and there has been recalls on newer sonatas. Please look into this.
I was driving my 2004 hyundai sonata and air bag light suddenly went on then off. Then it went back on a few minutes later and has been on for 2 years now.
My foot slide off the break, and hit my van in the back bumper in my driveway and two weeks later my air bag light came on and never went off. At my home, no reports, or damage other them cut on my bumper due to the haul on the van.
10-01-2016 air bag light came on,while stationary and stayed on while driving.
Takata recall. Air bag light will not go off. I am told that in order to correct the problem, it will cost nearly 2300 dollars since the passenger seat must be replaced
My air bag light came on when I was driving, the light will not go off, until I turn the car off.
Takata recall. My air bag light is on and can't be cleared.
My air bag light came on in my car. I took my car to the hyundai dealer at southtowne hyundai in riverdale georgia and they didn't call the manufacturer about my car. My car was hit t-bone on the driver's side front head light and the airbags didn't deploy.I asked the dealer several times to call because my airbag light should not come on by itself. The dealer just wanted me to pay over $500.00 to get it repaired. I wanted to know at anytime was the airbag model for my car recalled and hyundai kept it a secret.this is the second hyundai I have purchased. I called my car my jaguar.
The air bag warning light started out intermittently for about 15 starts it was off and on. Then around 03/11/2004 it came on and stayed on.
Airbag light stays on. An internet search indicates that this is a chronic problem with 2014 sonatas, but hyundai has failed to issue a recall. There is, however, a recall for the 2013 sonatas. Don't understand why there is not a recall. I purchased my car early in 2004 year. Many parts are carryovers from the previous year.
