Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai veloster. The contact stated that the air bag indicator illuminated and remained lit. The contact took the vehicle to john o'neil johnson hyundai (2001 highway 39 north, meridian, ms 39301, (601) 621-5100) and was informed that a new air bag was needed at the cost of $530.

I have had to have multiple items fixed on my 2013 veloster turbo, I have had the factory speakers replaced because they have blown, had to have the A/C control job replaced and recently the red air bag light has come on. Mechanically it has been worse, at 72000 miles or so the turbo blew while driving at normal speed on the highway. This was fortunately covered under my warranty. I started having to replace spark plugs frequently as they became covered in oil, then in february my engine gave out. I took it to the dealership and they did a compression test and told me I needed a new engine. I was out of warranty by 5000 miles so I had to buy a used engine and have it replaced, three months later I got a recall letter in the mail saying the engine management system was recalled.
