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.
Takata recall - continuing problems with airbag light coming/ staying on.. Car has been to several different dealers multiple times which have reportedly fixed the problem but the light always comes back on... This is a serious safety issue and something needs to be done about this long standing problem asap.
Airbag warning light comes on and stays on. Hyundai dealer repaired the seat wiring that controls the airbag warning light 3 times while under warranty. Independent repair service has tried repairing the wiring under the drivers seat 3 times, after each repair, the airbag warning light comes back on after driving the car. The car does not have to be in motion when the airbag light is on. It stays on all the time.
"takata inflators" airbag light always is on.dealer wants $3500 to replace inflator which is part of the seat back.
"takata recall"-my airbag light has been on for over 2 years! I bought my hyundai xg350l in august 2012 from a dealership in maryland. In 2014, I started the car and the airbag light came on. It's been on ever since. The light only goes off when the car is off. I had open-heart surgery in june 2012 and was, and still am in fear of anything possibly hitting me in my chest! Therefore, I took the car to be checked at two different nationally-known auto repair business. I also took it to a hyundai dealer. I have constantly been told there were many issues and complaints regarding the airbags for the hyundai cars and to check on a possible recall soon. I'm still waiting for a recall on these defected airbags! I have major concerns about driving the car for this reason, but I really don't have any other choice. My driving is limited though. Please recall so this issue is no longer a threat to my health! Thank in advance.
The airbag light has stayed on for over 2 years. When a touch the brake pedal, a bulb illuminates. Therefore I am constantly having all of my lights, brake fluid, and brakes checked. Especially since before any of the above issues arose, I attempted to put on brakes and the car would not stop! I had to come to a rolling stop. I immediately had the car checked by severall mechanics. None of them could find anything wrong.
Due to the takata recall I'm concerned because " my airbag light has been on for over a year. My car has been at the dealer & serviced so they are aware. I am waiting to hear from hyundai about a recall. On how they plan to fix these safety issues. What is hyundai doing about the air bags. My 84 year old mother was driving this car and I did not feel it was safe driving so I swapped cars. Now I'm driving a car knowing that fragments could explode in my face at any given moment.!!!!
Takata recall - airbag light came on and continuously displays without any prior deployment. Common issue among 2004/2005 hg350 owners and is a manufacturing problem.
Bought the car in summer of 2010 from dealer who had sold it new to someone else. 2 days later the seatbelt warning light came on. Took it to dealer during routine maintenance and pointed this out. They said there was a soda can under the passenger seat, they turned light off, no problem. Light back on in about 1 week. At next maintenance they turned it off again. I asked about recalls or advisories and they insisted that my problem cane from an empty soda can they said was under the seat. To fix it I was told would cost more than $ 2000. So now when I go for state inspection I first go to the dealer to have him turn the light off for $50.00, then straight to inspection praying the light does not come back on. Dealer insisted there were no complaints other than mine. Then I learned about this site. Light comes on while car is in motion and no one is in passenger seat.
"takata recall" my airbag light has been on for a year. I patiently waited to hear from hyundai about a recall. Other manufactures are taking steps to fix there safety problems. What is hyundai doing about theirs. I don`t feel safe driving my car knowing that fragments could explode in my face.
Takata recall my air bag light has been illuminated now for about 10 months. My car has very low mileage (56000). This is a very concerning to me,for it is a life and death problem.with all the complaints I'm wondering when hyundai is going to recall these cars. What are they waiting for? This makes me think twice about buying another hyundai.

Hello. I was sold a lemon by [xxx] of al's motor sales located on 1126 n. Montello st, brockton, ma 02301.when I went for inspection I got a rejection sticker because the car needed a catalytic converter, timing belts, airbag light being on, headlamps and a backlight, and would mysteriously accelerate on its own for no reason without my foot being on the gas pedal! Once I ran a VIN scan realized that he received the car like this but never disclosed that to me. He also left the information of the previous owners in the vehicle. Rather, he turned off the o2 sensor lights and LED me to believe that the car could pass inspection. I traded my 1998 infiniti i30 for a 2005 hyundai xg 350 so that the price of the vehicle would no longer be $3500 but $2400. Within two weeks the check engine light came on. [xxx] has avoided my calls and gotten very verbally aggressive in person when I speak to him about his actions. He has agreed to refund my money, infiniti, car keys, $2400.00 and brand new battery I put in the hyundai, but keeps putting off the times we're to meet. I believe he is trying to bleed out his time with the lemon law so that he doesn't have to adhere to the refund. When asked to read the terms of his own federal buyers guide, he couldn't! I would like his whole operation investigated as he is not being truthful and knowingly robs people continually. He has had my vehicle for 3 weeks going on 4 weeks. My trust and rights have been raped and I would like justice. As a school teacher I need this car to get work and instead, I take public transportation while paying car insurance. This dealer is illegally selling vehicles that are compromising the safety of other motorists and pedestrians. Please investigate the matter before it evolves into a tragic fatality.

Vehicles has air bag light on. Air bags will not deploy if in a accident. Apparently due to a manufacture defect with the wiring harness under the front drivers seat. The dealer said this vehicle model (multiple years) has a history of this defect as most all of those manufactured do this. The vehicle has been seen many times for this repair. Time for a recall.

Airbag light is on. Dealer checked and suggested that I get the front passenger seat replaced to fix the problem. There is a bad sensor under the passenger front seat. Many others are reporting the same problem.
Driver's air bag light came on in may 2008. I was told it was caused by a loose connector under passenger's seat. It seemed to be corrected but it has happened several times after that and each time I took it in the mechanic was able to get it to turn of. But, now, it is on permanently and the mechanic who I sought in september 2014 to get it to turn off was unable to do so. Approximately during the same timeframe, the radio turns on by itself. Oftentimes it will do so several times before I can get it to turn off.

Air bag light keeps coming on. First time was 7/26/08. Hyundai service tech's notes on the invoice indicate the side air bag and wiring harness was faulty. This work was covered under warranty. Light came on again maybe 6 months later, but went off a few days later. The light came on again 3/31/10. Hyundai tech notes indicate the wire to SRS connection was repaired. Work was covered under warranty. The next time was late nov 2011. I took car to my local auto care for annual inspection. The car failed because the air bag light was on. According to the tech diagnosis, "drivers side air bag high resistance. Rr electrical connector and apply stabilant - 22a to connector for terminal adhesion. If code returns in future, vehicle will need entire air bag harness." light came on again sometime in late 2012. I took it to my local auto care for annual inspection in dec. 2012. It failed because of the air bag light. In january 2013, I took the car to a different hyundai service dept. For "2nd opinion". Their diagnosis: "drivers seatback occupancy sensor shorted/part only comes w/seat, est. To replace drivers seatback-$1,749.00." I took the car back to my original hyundai svc dept with this information and they did another fix so I could pass inspection. The light came on again in september 2013, they determined the seat back was needed and it would cost $ 2,100. I got the repair done on 2/14/14 for $2,161.56. The light came back on again 2 weeks ago. I have an appointment with the hyundai svc dept on 4/22/14. I contacted hyundai motors customer service to find out if they would refund the money I paid, clearly there's a defect which should have been discovered and repaired the very first time I took my car in about this issue. I was told only if there is a recall or rebate. I' m not the only person with this problem so I believe a recall should be ordered.
When the power seat was moved, it disengaged the air bag system and the light on the dashboard came on alerting me that the air bag system was disengaged.. Thus, if I had an accident during this period, the air bags would not have engaged. I subsequently took my car to the dealership for a warranty repair. They reengaged the system and sent me on my way. Again on 11/4/09 I had to have another warranty repair and again on 1/4/10 and 2/23/11. Each time I took the car to the dealership for repair and asked if it could be permanently fixed. Each time they said they had to remove the seats and reconnect the wires for the system to reengage. Each one was covered by the warranty. However on 8/23/12 they said it wasn't under warranty anymore and they would charge me to fix it. They were too expensive and I took it elsewhere to get it fixed. This occurred again on 1/30/13 and I had to pay to get it fixed. I have had to permanently keep the front seats in the same position since then so I wouldn't disengage the system. Each time I go for routine maintenance I have a sheet of paper on the steering wheel indicating not to move the seats for fear of disengagement. I don't understand why the manufacturer can't permanently fix this issue at their cost. This seems to be a safety issue to me. Thank you.
The air bag light is always on. From what I was told by a mechanic this is a defect from hyundai as the wiring is faulty. This may affect the air bag from properly working if there is a accident. Hyundai is aware of this problem as there are so many complaints and yet they do nothing to fix it. So the light on the dashboard stays on that says airbag. Not very comforting from a safety standpoint.
Air bag indicator light on dashboard remains illuminated due to manufacturer defect of harness being too short to accommodate movement in driver and passenger seat. I have taken my vehicle in to repair shops and they have verified this defect. They quoted me over 700.00 to fix this issue. They said the entire module has to be replaced since the harness is not longer available. This is a major complaint for this model vehicle, but hyundai is not addressing this defect. It is poor customer service!
The "air bag" dash icon light stays on all the time. Hyundai has "fixed" it once by re-inserting connectors under the driver's seat. The "fix" lasted a couple of days. The vehicle now has 61,000 miles on-still under the 10k mile warranty, and the light stays on still. Hyundai keeps saying that it will cost over $500 just to diagnose. Hyundai has no solution for this issue, the internet searches will show that. This SRS light problem is endemic with all hyundais in the early to mid 2000's. An internet search will show hundreds of SRS "light-on" issues with these hyundais. There is no question that all these model's SRS systems are problematic at best and a total failure at worst. All people driving these model hyundais are absolutely at risk. A recall is positively required. Like I said, just do a search on hyundai SRS/air bag/airbag light and you can see the magnitude of the issue. I can't believe that I am the first to complain about this issue, so what is happening!? In no search is there a solution: check connectors under the seat, jiggle this or that, but no solution that works and no recognition from hyundai of the problem....and this is a life threatening issue not just an inconvenience. These models need to be recalled and at the very least hyundai has to come up with a real solution.
Air bag lamp is on...wire under passengers seat this has happen multiple times.
