The vacuum pump had an internal mechanical failure, resulting in complete failure of the airbag control module, electronic stability control system, power steering, ABS, and speedometer. These were all shown as warning lights on the dashboard, starting with the ESC, then sporadic airbag light, sporadic steering light, etc.. In the event of a crash, the airbags would not have deployed. In the event of low-traction conditions, the car would not have been able to maintain control and I could have crashed. In the event of turning across traffic, my steering could have failed and I could have crashed. Due to the speedometer malfunction, I could have been going too fast and put myself and others at risk for high-speed collision. This problem has been confirmed and repaired by a Hyundai Dealership. The repairs would have been covered under warranty, but the vehicle is no longer under warranty. The dealership specified that there was nothing I could have done to prevent this failure. Occurred at 78,000 miles on March 18, 2022.

The Airbag warning light came on soon after I bought the car and I took it to the dealership. They said it was sensor under passenger seat and repaired. A week later, did it again. Said it was probably another bad sensor under seat. It intermittently goes off and on now every few months. I have no idea if the airbag would work if I were in an accident. I haven’t continued to keep taking it back for more new sensors anymore. (I don’t believe every single new sensor they put in has gone bad.) So I’m at a loss what to do.

Air bag sensor in cushion on passenger seat does not function properly. Air bag light comes on and off multiple times. Vehicle is either in motion or stationary. Light comes on for a week and then goes away for months and comes back again. Mileage since I notice it was 48000. Hyundai said the seat needs to be replaced and I would have to pay out of pocket. This makes no sense this problem should be covered especially since the seats in my car have never been touched or replaced they have the same seats that came with the car. So this faulty system should be replaced by the company. Noticed in the complaints I'm not the only one with this issues seems like it.

Airbag light has been on for a couple days. After thorough research, other hyundai models have experienced the same problem with the airbag and is under recall. However, my vehicle is not. I proceeded to go get diagnostic testing, which confirmed that the airbag malfunction is the same as other vehicles. My vehicle was in motion when the notice first appeared.
