What owners say
Air bag light is on and stays on
Airbag light came on. Dealership says the passenger occupancy sensor has failed and it will cost $2600 to repair. This seems very dangerous and like it should not fail under normal wear and tear. The sensor can not detect if a child or adult is in the passenger seat, making the car incredibly dangerous! This has happened to several other hyundai vehicles as well. Clearly a systematic problem!

The airbag light just came on when I started my vehicle. I am the original owner and the car has never been any sort of accident. I had a service tech pull the codes (b1448- ocs mat defect and b1481 - high resistance too high(2nd stage) for driver side airbag and the code points to the clock spring. There is a recall on these model veracruz's but not on my VIN. Hyundai may need to expand their VIN list. I have the car sitting now until I get this resolved by hyundai. My car is the exact same model and color as pictured here. Https://www.cars.com/articles/2011/09/recall-alert-2007-08-hyundai-santa-fe-veracruz/ hyundai will not fix it because there is no active recall for my VIN. Is there anything that I can do? Hyundai case # 11682549
Airbag light on since last week.
On at least a dozen occasions within the past few months alone, while driving I will suddenly hear a high-pitched "whirring" sound that sounds like it's revving up, then immediately afterwards all of my dash lights and the passenger air bag lights start to flicker and/or go off completely and then come back on again. Every single time this happens, as soon as I turn off my car (doesn't matter if I keep driving for a long while or stop driving shortly after it happens), it won't start again. It's completely dead and I have to have it jumped. My car has 94,000 miles on it, and in the past 8 years, the car has died/I've had to have it jumped over 30 times. I'm on my 5th battery! After the recall for the alternator gasket valve cap, I thought these problems would be fixed, but I've had exactly the same electrical issues/battery constantly dying since then! That recall literally did nothing. This is very unsafe, as the car can just suddenly lose power while driving, and then if you turn the car off, it won't start up again without being jumped. Hyundai needs to fix this asap. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of complaints about this, and it's just absolutely unacceptable!! I'll in the past 8 years, I have had to replace my battery 5 times in my veracruz.

The airbag light came on on dash panel hyundai advisor thought it may be a loose connection and to have it looked at on our next service visit, after hyundai diagnosed the problem it turns out that is the clock spring which has a recall dated 9/11/2011 recall confirmation #11v472000, hyundai dealer told me that my VIN is not involved in the recall
The airbag light has been on for 2 weeks. I've had to take this car in several times because the ABS light has gone on after every service, so I don't know if it's the sensor or the actual airbag that's the problem. It's a pain, and I don't know whether or not to be worried, with all the negative press about airbag issues these days. If I take it in I'm sure they'll charge me a lot to fix it.

Esc off, ABS & airbag lights are on for the hyundai veracruz. As few users of complained here this seems like an issue that other people have as well. I would request the federal safety agency look into this and have hyundai take care of this. Http://www.hyundai-forums.com/veracruz-forum/151125-ESC-off-ABS-awd-light.html.
