Tl* the contact owns a 2012 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to abc hyundai (6825 redwood st, las vegas, nv 89118, (702) 475-8698) and was informed that she would have to pay for diagnostic testing.

Red airbag indicator light is on since 6/27. It turned on when the car was started after being parked in my garage for about 4 weeks while I was away on vacation.
Back in december, 2018, I noticed two large cracks on the passenger side dashboard where the air bag is. The cracks have only been getting longer and I fear for my safety... The airbag can deploy at any time or the airbag possibility won't deploy if I get into an accident. I have reached out to hyundai and the hyundai executives, as this has been a known issue with hyundai and the sonatas and they will not tdo anything to replace the dashboard for using defective materials. This is a major safety issue and something that hyundai should recall and fix.
There was a safety recall number 169 on my vehicle affecting the seatbelt pretensioner. I had it checked approximately 2 years ago and the dealership told me it was not defective. My airbag light has been on since that time. Now I took my car to another dealer and they told me my seatbelt pretensioner is faulty. They are charging me nearly $800 to fix it. They are stating since the recall was "cleared" they are unable to re-open it. This is dishonest. They know that the part is defective and are refusing to fix it. Just because it hadn't broken when I had it checked, doesn't mean that they still shouldn't be responsible for the defective product. I am now driving an unsafe vehicle because they are refusing to do the right thing. Please help me resolve this.

This is an ongoing problem, the plastic that the tail light bulb is attached to is melting and I have had to replace the tail light casing already recently. Since the replacement, I replaces a bulb and the plastic is starting to look burned again. Two weeks since I replaced that bulb, the light is out again.everytime I have this problem my check engine light comes on. After a few days it goes off. When I take call the dealer they said if the light goes off they cannot check the problem, this problem started about 3 years after I got this car and now my check engine light is on again and will not go off.the driver side airbag light is alway on since a year ago. No accident. Looks like there are a lot of similar issues with sonata

Airbag light stays on.
On saturday, october 13, 2018, I was in a parking structure looking for a place to park. I was on the ramp to the 2nd floor when for no apparent reason, my car accelerated and hit the vehicle in front of me and my vehicle immediately quickly reversed backwards and hit the vehicle behind me. The vehicle continued to move back and forth like a bumper car. I was trying to press the break but nothing happened. I started screaming for someone to help that the vehicle was out of control. After going back and forth about 5 times before being stopped by the vehicle behind me. The vehicle was stationary when this all happened.
Takata recall when you press on the gas the car stalls then drives . When you turn on the headlights the back tail light goes out. I took my car to hyundai multiple times to get these and the air bags checked out and still they didn't fix nothing. When I first got the car I had totake it to hyundai bc it smelled like smoke they fixed it but now when u turn on the air the car don't excel the way it does when the heat is one
1.) I have been having issues with the fuel light flashing as if I am out of gas, when I just put gas in the vehicle. I had the fuel pump changed and that does not fix the problem. So now I am in the process of trying to find out what the problem is. 2.) I have received a letter that there is a recall on the air bags, my air bag light is now on and stays on. When I checked online it shows that there is not any remedies available. I drive this vehicle everyday with my 3 children in the car. Heaven forbid I get in a serious accident and the airs bags do not deploy, who knows what may happen. This issue really needs to be corrected. 3.) I noticed on the recall list that my vehicle also has a recall on the seat belts as well; another safety issue if I were go get in a car accident.
Air bag light stays on but vehicle has never been in an accident
