Had airbag light stay on and got seatbelt buckle replaced under recall. Now one month later airbag light is on and I'm told it is bad sensors inside the seat. These cars have poor engineering. We can't even rely on airbags, since they won't work when the light is on for bad sensors.

Same problem as described in 14v415000 hyundai veracruz recall. While driving the ESC warning light on, then intermittent battery + seat belt indicating alternator failure, caused by leaking valve cover. Can cause sudden failure. This defect is not isolated to the veracruz and perhaps the recall should be broadened

Re: investigation seat belt buckle electrical malfunction the federal safety agency action number: pe14023 the federal safety agency closed this investigation 12/1/14 on the condition that hyundai would extend the warranty to 15 years and 250,000 miles for this repair. Per the letter attached to the case I contacted hyundai today to get reimbursed for the expense related to this issue ($380.75). I spoke to two different reps at hyundai and neither had any idea what I was talking about. So it's been three months since this case closed and hyundai is not honoring the new extended warranty.

Airbag light illuminates. Was told by dealership it is a problem with an electric circuit inside the seatbelt buckle and that it can lead to problems with airbag. Checked online and saw many, many hyundai sonata 2006 and 2007 users complaining of the same problem.

Air bag light came on , so took it to dealer an they said passenger seat belt buckle needs replacement at the cost of 400 bucks. So air bags won't deploy an seat belt may not work. This is dangerous an should be a recall on this vehicle as I see it has happened to lots of people years 2006 2007 2008. When can we expect the recall on this. I would like to get my car fixed.

Dealer found codes b1706 and b1102 present. Dealer tech stated driver seat belt buckle needs replacing, with an estimated cost of $344.56. The SRS module is not allowing codes to be reset, needs replacing also, with an estimated cost of $1,004.00. I see the federal safety agency has just started investigating the b1706 code -- my understanding from reading the other complaints is that a short circuit is causing the error code, and replacing the seat belt assembly is not permanently fixing the problem for most owners. Most owners mention repeat bills of about $350, but a few of the complaints mention much higher repair estimates, over $1,000. I suspect these estimates include replacement of the SRS module, like my estimate did. The federal safety agency should consider whether there is also a rash of SRS module failures due to the same short circuit. My b1102 code, indicating a high-voltage error, could also be more common and could also be caused by the same short circuit.

Hyundai has changed my seat belt buckle numerous times because of an air bag related issue. Now that its out of warranty they will not cover it. Air bag light back on and they want,$400 to replace the bad seatbelt with any warranty. This is probably the 4th time since I had the vehicle brand new that im having this problem, I never in my life experienced so many airbag problems with a vehicle other then a hyundai. Also now they are saying my brake light switch is bad yet again after they supposedly changed it out a few years ago for a recall, to many of the same problems with hyundai. Scared to drive the car feels like I bought a lemon. Wish there was more that hyundai could do for there customers but it seems like they don't care. What ever happened to hyundai slogan about safety 1st..
