My wife was in a rear end accident at approximately 30 MPH, air bags did not deploy, air bag light is on. My wife got whiplash from the accident. Reading similar complaints, I'm almost glad the air bags did not deploy because her injury could have been worse. Hyundai needs to fix the issue with their air bags immediately.

The airbag light came on and stayed on. Seatbelts and airbags will not properly work or work at all when this light is on. Why shouldn't the 2004 model be included in the safety recall since all other tiburon years except for 2004 were recalled?

Air bag light came on intermittently several times before remaining on; seatbelt and buckle on driver's side replaced. Eight months later the same process occurred on the passenger side of the car.

This make and model has defective seatbelt sensors. These seatbelt sensors are wired into the airbag system and in the event of a seatbelt sensor shorting out, the air bag light comes on and the car's air bags are disabled. This is a very serious safety issue.

I am almost scared to drive my tiburon. I have read many stories about airbags not deploying when the light had been showing. Both my tiburon, and my mother's sonata had the airbag light steadily on. I was able to fix hers by adjusting a few cords, mine to no avail. I have been told not to get it diagnosed because problem returns.
