Mechanic tells me that the frame on my xg350 2005 is very badly rusted and unsafe to drive at 100k miles. All other years of this vehicle have a recall on this issue!! Why not the 2005 model? Obviously a manufacturer's problem. Many others report the same issue. Also, the air bag warning light is on. I have had this fixed once and it was expensive. Problem is reported many times by other owners.

Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Air bag light stays on --needs a recall -I have a friend who sued general motors after her husband was killed in a car wreck -won big time
Air bag light has been illuminated since late 2013. Reading entries posted on site, and talking with former hyundai mechanic, this is a wiring harness issue that at least 60 other people have complained about. Also experienced the steering issue where the bolts locking the wheel in place sheered off, I was lucky to get off the freeway in 2015 get it to a local shop to fix. As of 2018 the steering is problematic again with the steering wheel sticking and now a squeaking noise occurs when turning right.
The airbag warning light comes on and will not extinguish. The vehicle was purchased new. This happened under warranty and the dealership reset the light. It came on again after the warranty expired and the dealership charged me to reset the light. The light has been reset multiple times and is now illuminated and will not reset. I am afraid that the airbag will not properly work in an accident.
Air bag light stays on.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 hyundai xg350. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator remained illuminated while driving, which was a safety concern. The contact felt as if the air bags would deploy. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (courtesy hyundai, 939 newport ave, pawtucket, ri 02861) where the wire harness and the driver's seat back were diagnosed as the cause of the failure and were replaced. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified and referred the contact to the federal safety agency. The failure mileage was 37,000.
The airbag light stays on. Dealer had repaired 2 or 3 times in early years. Seems the wiring harness under driver seat is too short. Extremely expensive for new harness and the dealer will not assure it will not also come loose.
The air bag indicator light for the passenger side, checked under the seat for loose electrical connectors, cleared the code but it keeps returning,
Air bag indicator light went on. Took it to my local hyundai dealer, rancho grande motors, and the technician said he found high resistance in the driver's side air bag itself and that the airbag would need to be replaced. Estimated cost $1052.00
Air bag light has been on since bought new in 2005. Hyundai can not/will not fix. Internet search shows 100's of same complaint. Covers 2003 to 2013 many models of hyundai, but especially the xg350 model. Have to drive with air bag light on all the time. Srs system not functioning. Major safety issue!!
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 hyundai xg350. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000. Updated 06/21/17*lj
Air bag light has been on for over a year and a half. I have owned car since new.,problem has occurred on several occasions. Different hyundai dealers described different causes for problem ,without making a lasting repair. Light continues to come on. My fear is that air bag will not deploy if needed.
