Airbag light is on. Hyundai issued an extended warranty for the occupant classification system. The dealer will not determine the cause of the issue without a diagnostic fee. This is a safety issue and should be a recall so the dealer will inspect and assist.
My son has a 2006 Hyundai Accent and last week the air bag indicator light went on and has remained on ever since. The vehicle was previously owned by my father and has approximately 20,000 miles on it. I have read other complaints on this site and it appears that this is a common problem.
My air bag light has come on in my 2006 Hyundai Accent for no reason & stays illuminated no matter what I do.
Tl- the contact owns a 2006 Hyundai Accent. The contact stated while driving at various speeds the front passenger air bag light would intermittently activate without an occupant sitting on the seat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic test. The dealer stated the passenger seat sensor had failed and would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage 153,000. The VIN was not available. Az.
Air bag light on dashboard is on all the time.
The issue is that the airbag light is on; I brought this vehicle to the Hyundai dealership multiple times over the last few years, and each time they ran some kind of diagnostic test on it, the airbag light would be off a few months, and then mysteriously would be back on again; I kept following this process until they told me the warranty was expired and to really fix the issue I had to cough up almost $1,000 . . . . And, why am I being asked to pay this kind of money for a manufacturer defect? please finally investigate this issue and bring 2006 Hyundai Accent owners the kind of closure that the 2006 Hyundai sonata owners had for the same issue. Clearly we have a class action lawsuit that is imminent after viewing the multiple issues with this same problem; and it's too much of a coincidence that there was a recall on the 2006 Hyundai sonata's for the same issue with the airbag light. Is an analyst at your office finally going to "flag" this as a real issue and address this and pursue it. Do the research and you will find out what I did. Please contact the 2006 Hyundai Accent owners that also have this problem. This is more than about money, it's clear as the nose on anyone's face that this is a manufacturer defect that noone should have to pay for.
I have been to the dealership three times for the same issue with my Hyundai 2006 Accent. The airbag light is defective and will not turn off. I have since been told that it is upwards of a 1,000+ to fix. And the warranty is not liable, nor is it a recall or the dealership responsible. They have said that they do not know if the airbags will deploy, and the company rep did not seem to care about the issue. This seems to be a well documented issue, I am concerned why the problem has not been rectified. There have been multiple cases where there airbag has failed others, either deploying mysteriously or failing to deploy in a crash. Since this is a known defect in the manufacture, it should have been addressed. I have no money to fix this problem that is due to negligence knowingly committed by Hyundai motors.
I have a 2006 Hyundai Accent that I bought about 3 years ago brand new. I have noticed that my air bag light will not turn off and when someone is sitting in the passenger seat the air bag light that lets you know when the passenger air bag light is on or off will continue to say passenger air bag off.
