2015 Hyundai Sonata airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 25 of 25, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The airbag dash light intermittently comes on and off, it has thrown a b1490 code although the car has never been in any major accidents before. I have read that it is a common issue among vehicles like mine, however there is no recall though I've seen many complaints about it on online forums.
My air bag light kept on lighting up on my dashboard, it kept lighting on and off for several months and now it is a steady light. Every time I start the car now it's a steady light.
I was involved in an automobile accident . In which an animal was in the road I sweared and hit the curb the air bags did not deploy in the accident the auto flip over and the car a model limited w/all glass sunroof shattered causing a concussion the design of the car caused the pillars to crush along with front air bags that did not deploy the design of the roof line failedto protect the passagers from its all glass sunroof design causing serious injury note right after this accident hyundia issued multi years this model had issues with its air bag and sunroof shattering with a roll over the car rolled from impact. All glass sunroof no air bags safety around the all glass sunroof.
Tl* the contact owned a 2015 hyundai sonata. Driver stated he was not going 45 MPH, the air bag deployed without warning. As a result the other driver was not injured as her airbags deploded correctly. The contact's vehicle crashed into another vehicle. At the time of surgery, went back in 2 weeks later and received another unit of blood. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an insurance tow lot and was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000. *bf
I've been having an oil consumption issue on my vehicle. I've been getting my oil changed on time regularly & the oil seems to burn off extremely faster than it should. Every time I get my oil changed I've been told that there aren't any leaks. Now my check engine light is on & my engine is shaking. Ive only had my car for 3 years & my air bag light came on out of no where. Also my gear shift seems to lock up & wont release from park to drive
Took vehicle to dealership for service and mentioned when my wife drives the car the air bag light intermittently comes on while she is driving straight down the highway. It will just come on, and go off. No rhyme or reason to it. The airbag light will not come on in this fashion while I am driving the vehicle. Technicians looked at the vehicle and checked the clock-spring, and then said air bag ECM and sensor (srscm) modules need to be replaced. This vehicle has not been subject to any jump starting, has the original battery, and not involved in any frontal crashes. Car has been well-maintained. Believe there is a manufacturing defect in these parts.
This car has several re calls and I wasn't never informed and this doesn't make any sense
Airbag light of driver side is light up on dash possible chances that airbag might not inflate at the time of crash. And passenger seat belt light keep flashing even though there is no one on passenger side.

"takata recall'. When sitting in traffic I thought someone hit me from behind. Next thing I know,I am hitting car in front of me. I really feel when air bags on steering wheel and under wheel went off the bottom bag hit my leg and knocked my foot off the brake pedal leaving bad bruise on my leg.first response,hit the brake but in confusion I think my foot was knocked over the gas peddle causing me to run into car ahead. Result: $9000.00 damage to my car, other car got scratch on bumper. I was the only one injured and needed to go to doctor for treatment. Please follow up because this is a big concern for the safety of the car owners. I truly am afraid to drive my sonata again but would like to know because I would not want someone else to get hurt if I trade my car in. [xxx]. Please talk to my husband when you call, I get to upset talking about it. Thank you very much for your concern for your customers. My car is a 2015 sonata,VIN. Thank you information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I was parking the car at an angle and hit the outside wall of a store at 2:30 in the afternoon. Both air bags deployed on the driver's side. Initially, I thought I had done something wrong, and maybe I did but I came to find out much later that this car has a floor mounted gas pedal. I had owned the car about five weeks by that time and had been out of town one of those weeks when I didn't even use it. I had put plastic mats in the car to protect the mats and carpeting in there. That morning I saw that the mat had gone up against the gas pedal. Again, at that point, I did not realize that the pedal was floor mounted. My only complaint is that hyundai should tell people this and tell them not to put extra mats on the driver's side unless they are custom made. I really don't know if the accident was because I did something wrong or because the mat was pressing against the gas pedal and propelled the car forward while I thought I was pushing on the brake. The front corner of the car was severely damaged as was the wall I hit.
We purchased a 2015 hyundai sonata sport/l1 on 26 dec 2014. My wife requires an extra cushion to sit on due lower back problems. Our previous car (2007 chevrolet impala) has sensors under the passenger seat that control the passenger air bag deployment. With my wife sitting on the extra cushion, the sensors correctly determined she was sitting in the passenger seat and set the airbag to operate if we were to be involved in an accident. Not realizing we were going to have a problem with the new hyundai sonata airbag sensors, we did not take the extra cushion along with us on the test drive. Three days later we discovered that the passenger airbag sensor did not recognize my wife sitting in the passenger seat while using her extra cushion for support. I brought this to the attention of the hyundai service department where I purchased the car. Several attempts to correct the problem were unsuccessful, and I finally convinced the general manager to have the ocs system connected to the diagnostic computer and check the operating specifications. The general manager and the service manager informed me that the sensors were working properly, but they stated that hyundai is now using a "gel pack" in the seat to sense if someone is sitting there. In the owners manual there is a note saying that a thick coat or extra cushion will not allow the sensors to operate properly. This seems to be a safety problem since anyone wearing a thick coat and sitting in the front passenger seat of the 2015 sonata would not be protected by the airbag. Also, my wife is not the only person using an extra cushion for support while riding in the front passenger seat of a vehicle. We are now stuck with a new car that is unsafe for my wife to ride in "comfortably". We have experimented with "other" vehicles, and the extra cushion does not effect the sensors in them.
