My driver's side airbag light came on suddenly one day. I don't know why since I didn't do anything to the car. I searched online and see previous hyundai recalls on the airbag for sonata. 07 sonata wasn't included though.
2007 Hyundai Sonata airbags complaints
Page 4 of 10: complaints 71 to 100 of 257, newest first, as owners wrote them.
12/22/2016 I was involved in a collision with a stopped car which I hit at about 40 MPH. My airbag did not deploy. The car was a total loss. City street. Spotsylvania va. 6:30 pm.
Took the car into the shop for an airbag light. They said that it was a bad oc mat sensor. I was quoted $1000+ for parts and labor. I asked why this wasn't covered under the recall because my car was in the range 06-07, they said my VIN did not indicate an active recall. I called corporate and they also said I was sol. This is something that needs to be fully recalled, far too many of them are failing and hyundai refuses to do anything about them.
This is now the 4th time I have had to take the car in for an airbag light that indicates a bad seat belt sensor. Frustrated to have to still deal with this issue. Stationary on start up light goes off then comes right back on.
Tl* the contact owned a 2007 hyundai sonata. While at a stop light, another vehicle crashed into the rear of the contact's vehicle. In turn, the contact's vehicle rear ended the preceding vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained injuries that required medical attention. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a tow yard. The failure mileage was 77,061.
The last week of october 2016, my sonata''s air bag warning light came on and has stayed illuminated for the last two weeks. Simultaneously, the right passenger seat's seat belt warning light has stayed on even when no one is in the seat. Also, the "passenger seat air bag off" light has come on.
The air bag warning light (remains on constantly) and passenger side seat belt warning lights remains on even with a passenger above the weight limit. The air bag warning light will not turn off and the passenger side seat belt light will not turn off even when the seat belt is hooked up. There is a recall for faulty sensors, recall notice, 08v161000, for 2006 - 2008 hyundai sonatas but my 2007 is not covered? I feel like my sonata has many of the issues in past recalls but for some reason isn't included in them (outside lighting, ESC light periodically kicking on, brake sensor failing numerous times, continuous issues with rear brakes, etc.) I think hyundai should expand this airbag recall as I hope we aren't being put in harms way with an unexpected airbag failure when we need it most.
Tl* he contact owns a 2007 hyundai sonata. While the vehicle was stationary, the air bag indicator illuminated without warning. In addition, the electronic stability sensor remained illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 100,000.
The air bag warning light and passenger side seat belt warning lights come on when I start the car. The air bag warning light will not turn off and the passenger side seat belt light will not turn off unless the seat belt is hooked up. I understand that these may be issues associated with faulty sensors. This is particularly disconcerting because I've reviewed the issues on-line and it's possible the air bag system may not be operating properly. I've seen that other hyundai owners have tried to deal with these same issues and gotten little or no satisfaction from their hyundai dealership. There was an extended recall notice, 08v161000, associated with the passenger side air bag for 2006 - 2008 hyundai sonatas but my 2007 is not covered? Is there a way to find out why that is?
My airbag sensor light has been on for the past few months. I've looked online and saw that this is a common complaint for hyundai's. Also, my ESC light goes on and sometimes stays on. Again another complaint with this car. Both are safety issues that seem to be negligent on the manufactures part. With the number of complaints that have been logged this should be a safety recall issue that hyundai should be responsible for.
I have an airbag light that has been on and the dealer ran the code which came back b1448 which is the passenger seat sensor. They recalled substantially all 2006-2008 sonatas for this well documented problem, but said mine is excluded despite it being exactly in the middle of the problem years. I have an airbag system that wont deploy due to a very well documented problem by hyundai and they wont fix it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 hyundai sonata. While operating the vehicle with the front passenger seat occupied, the front passenger air bag sensor light illuminated, which indicated that the air bag system was turned off. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the air bag sensor was faulty. The sensor was replaced, but the failure recurred. The contact also indicated that the seat belts randomly activated while operating the vehicle. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 36,000.
Airbag light on driver's side dash illuminated. Took to mechanic; code read that it was the occupant sensor in the passenger seat (known issue) and covered by hyundai. Took car to hyundai dealer to have seat removed, shipped to california, for repair. Dealer states that airbag light will not go off once seat is replaced; it also needs clock spring assembly replaced. This, too, is a known/frequent issue with this age/make/model, however it's not covered by hyundai. Will cost $400 to replace. This is a safety issue and if it's occurring frequently enough to find numerous forums online with people complaining, it should be a covered/warrantied service performed by hyundai. Should not have to shell out $400 for repairs. Very upsetting! :(
Takata recall: airbag light coming on for no real reason and now deale/mechanicr is quoting a huge amount to replace the sensor. When I tried to search online, it looks like hundreds of hyundai sonata customers had a same issue. How could government allowed them to sell these cars when they are not recalling their defective parts ?
Air bag light is on and will not go off. In addition to that, passenger air bag light constantly blinks on/off, even when nobody is sitting in the seat. Vehicle has not been in a accident.

The car was involved in an accident in city streets of hialeah florida on a 4 way stop(my son was driving) and was declared total loss by insurance company none of the airbags deployed. He hit mid drivers side of a a flat bed truck and front of my car was crushed. Thank god my son is ok. With the amount of damage on the car one of the airbags should have deployed. I have reported this incident to hyundai and have not received any comment from them yet
Air bag sign is still on after the recall service. In fact, I do not remember getting it fixed, but the dealership claims that the issue had been addressed. They would not fix the issue with free of charge. I am scared to drive with my friends and family on the passenger seat.
After starting the ignition, the red "air bag" light near odometer stays lit. Orange "passenger air bag off" light stays lit even when someone is sitting in the passenger seat. These lights remain on regardless of whether the car is stationary or in motion. I had this problem once before a few years ago. The dealer removed the passenger seat and sent it off to be fixed. The issue also happens periodically if something gets stuck under the passenger seat. The wires and connectors under the passenger seat are exposed. However, this time there is nothing stuck under the seat and the air bag lights remain on.

Both of my visors have never stayed up, they are always down in my line of vision this probably started 6 months after I had the car. I took it to the dealer they stated it was not covered. A few years back the drivers side air bag light came on and is still on. The passengers air bag comes on and goes off regularly. My back break lights have had to be replaces several times, something is wrong with them. Again the dealer wanted to charge me to replace them after my husband had just replaced them. There are so many parts that are falling apart. The gear shift has broken and the back handles on the outside of the car are broken. My brakes rotate and the whole care shakes when I press on the breaks on the freeway. Now my back end is making noises. I bought this car new , but will never buy another car from hyundai again, this is the worst car I have ever had. From the beginning I have had problems and the dealer never wanted to fix anything unless I payed for it. I am not paying for things that I did not break. .
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 hyundai sonata.

The failure mileage was 72,000.
While driving alone the passenger seat belt light keeps blinking and the air bag light in the drivers console came on and wont turn off
I went to a local garage to have my vehicle inspected which passed with no problem. As I was driving my car out of the garage I noticed that the air bag light was on and notified the attendant who shrugged it off and said it will probably go off on it's own. Needless to say it has been over a week and the light is still on. From everything I have seen, this is an on-going problem with this make and model and it sounds like a very expensive fix to the problem. It is also a danger because the air bags will not deploy in a crash. I think that hyundai should definately do a recall on this asap.
My passenger airbag is no longer active. A dashboard light has come on / stays on, saying airbag not working and the passenger seat belt causes the dashboard light to constantly blink, because the occupant matt sensor is not functioning /code b1448 sensor has deactivated for the airbag. This is a major safety issue and hyundai has not recalled this . I called hyundai to check and the repair is extremely expensive. Hyundai has had numerous similar problems with other models. I want consumer satisfaction. I have had them repair another recall. I take safety seriously.

My 07 sonata had a recall for airbag issue which I took to local dealer to have corrected. The dealer had to ship the seat cushion out to add padding to fix airbag light staying on. After a couple of months the airbag light came back on and I took it back to the dealer and they said it must be an issue with the seat. I've been waiting 2 weeks for hyundai to contact the dealer to see if the will cover the cost to replace the seat due to the airbag issue. My spouse drives this car with my kids and it's unsafe to have to be driving around like this while they take their sweet time.
