Air bag warning light on dash while driving down street, although approximately 2 weeks prior I had to stop hard suddenly for a car in front of me that decided to just stop. I had already taken my car into the dealership for the seat belt recall and have since received another notification for a seat belt recall. Air bag light was turned off when purchasing used car from hyundai dealership in 2016. Called dealership and told no recall on air bags, and they don't know if it has takata air bags in it. I need to pay $69 to have it diagnosed.

First the airbag light came on while driving the vehicle. The next day while at work during my lunch break wanted to leve the facility to purchase lunch and was unable to. The car wouldnt start. It said on dashboard eps. Tried cranking several times afterwards and still nothing.
The air bag dashboard warning indicator has become illuminated and will not turn off. The vehicle was in motion on city streets when became illuminated. The sonata is a 2012 with 37,000 and has not been in a crash to activate the air bags. Hyundai wants to charge me $150 for a diagnostic plus repair costs.
Takata recall
Faulty airbag as a result of faulty clock spring. Took vehicle into dealership (due to airbag light), and apparently clock spring part is back-ordered. However, dealer and hyundai corporate told me to continue using vehicle despite faulty clock spring, as the vehicle is still "operable". Extremely disturbed that hyundai corporate would not advise on estimated time of clock spring arrival. This appears to be a major issue, given the back order, which should be investigated asap, as there may be more vehicles on the road with this issue - unbeknownst to drivers.
I was at a stop light and my airbag light came on and won't go off. The car has not been in any accidents. The car is only 5 years old. I'm worried the airbags won't inflate if I am ever in an accident. 5 years is too early for sensors to wear out.
I purchased a 2012 hyundai sonata from smitty's auto sales in des moines iowa on 2-24-2017 and was told car had clean title and 70,000 miles. I noticed the odo said 26, and asked the dealer he said it was the trip not actual miles. I was sceptical about car so I called back the next day to see if this car had salvage title their craiglist ad said clean title which was false. I was informed it was a salvage by flood and that the air bags didn't work. I was angry asked for my money back for false advertising and auto fraud they knew air bags were not working and the vehicle had outstanding recalls and didn't disclose any of this in writing. What can I do?
My airbag light has come on for a week and won't turn off when car is in turned on. The light came on as I turned the vehicle on. It is a safety issue and I have read numerous reports on this. I am the original owner of my 2012 sonata with turbo. I
The SRS light on the dash turned 'on' and disabled the driver's side airbag. Most likely caused by a defective clock spring in the steering column.
Takata recall??? 2012 hyundai sonata air bags not working. The air bag light in my 2012 sonata (bought brand new) stays on. My concern initially was that the bags would deploy spontaneously but when taken into dealer, I was told "they would not deploy at all - even if there was an accident." this seems to be a manufacture's defect. Could this be under the takata recal? .
Driver side air bag light stays on, when I called hyundai they told me take a picture and send it to them...? Engine cuts out while driving and then reconnects tail lights stay on air conditioner makes loud noises.
Airbag light came on in vehicle. The light came on while driving on the road.
I had been driving and everything was ok. I got home and had no dashboard lights on. I started the car up 10 minutes later and my airbag warning light was on. I took it to the dealer and they wanted like 70 dollars to diagnose and then more money for labor. This is a safety defect. I couldn't afford it. Honda diagnoses and covers stuff like that 100%. They say hyundai has the best warranty but so far no problems I've had has been covered. A mechanic and neighbor of mine says they've seen many hyundai airbag lights and are surprised there's not a recall.
I have had several malfunctions with this vehicle that is less than 6 years old. It started with clicking in the wheel, key stuck in the ignition and now my air bag light is on and that is a malfunction in the system. It seems like everything is a malfunction that shouldn't be happening to a car less than 6 y/o. My car stay in the shop for some reason or another. I can honestly say I will never purchase another hyundai of any kind.
Last week, my power steering suddenly stopped working while driving on a city street making it very difficult to maneuver. The eps dashboard trouble light as well as the airbag and ESC lamps all illuminated at the same time. Thankfully, there was light traffic at the time so was able to pull off to the side to regain my composure. Using extreme caution, I drove the next few miles back home carefully avoiding any sudden situations where I was forced to make sharp turns. I had an extremely hard time steering. Yesterday, I took the veh into the local dealership. After a couple of hours, they said the steering column had to be replaced and that somehow it was also causing all the other unrelated trouble lamps to light at the same time!. Approx. $1200 repair cost. The veh is 2012 with 82,000 miles. I asked if it was covered by the 100k mile warranty. They said no. After only 4 years of owning this car, I can't believe the steering column broke. I never heard of that before. I went on-line and noticed that 2011 sonata's had a similar problem the year prior and as a result, there was a national recall to rectify the problem by replacing faulty equipment. I can't help but think that perhaps the same faulty equipment was perhaps installed in some of the 2012's also.
Srs light comes on and stays on. Seems to be a problem with all sonatas
Sonata recall. The airbag light has been on for 3days now and won't shut off no matter what I do and I'm scared it will deploy. Back in may I noticed the paint in my car shipping after I took it to get washed, now my car looks ugly.
Recall campaign 132. Vehicle stalled/locked up causing a collision with heavy front end damage.
Vehicle type: 2012 hyundai sonata se on thursday april 14, 2016 at approximately 6p in the evening the air bag check light was illuminated in my vehicle for no apparent reason. The following day, I took the car to the dealer, and was told to make an appointment to have the issue addressed. On sat april 23rd, I was told that the repair was $436 to replace a clock spring assembly (part # 93490-3q120). Due to the fact the vehicle has over 60,000mi, this equipment replacement is not covered by any warranty. I was astonished to find that something of this import would ever need replacement and that such failure in the device would prevent my airbag from deploying in the event of a collision. For this reason, I believe that the warranty on any such item should be unlimited. Without this repair, I do not have a functioning airbag. I contend that the repair of equipment required by the federal safety agency should be covered by the manufacturer and warranted by such for the lifetime of the vehicle, as long as the vehicle is operational.
Takata recall- I have read online that there are 4 safety recall issues on my vehicle that will be towed to a dealership this am to be checked out. My case number with hyundai is 9059835 (kelly-contact person) 855‑671‑3059. I read about a side airbag issue as the fourth issue but was told that there is no recall issue on the airbags. How do I proceed?
My car is slowing down while I'm driving and in order to pick up speed I have to take my foot off of the gas and put it back on to accelerate. I am also having electrical issues which includes changing my brake lights several times every couple of months. The electrical issue also includes my check engine light, seat belt light, check tire light and truck light on when it is not open. The electrical problem is also affecting my doors and alarm system I.e. My car is currently only manual when it should be automatic.
