08 Accent GS, airbag light on without any accident or unusual driving. Its a safety issue. Hyundai should have recalled this issue since many customers have the same problem.
Airbag light came on and stays on. Was informed by multiple mechanics in the area that is a known safety and system malfunction issue with the 2008 Hyundai Accent hatchback models and not sure way a recall has not been issued.
Takata recall: air bag light stays on and car cannot be inspected. Also check engine light stays on. Removed passenger and driver seats to check sensors/wires but did not solve the problem.
The airbag lights comes on an stays on you have to get it scan sn the code will read b1448, b1449, or b1450 an it should be a recall for this . Because only a dealer can get it off an then they want to chsrge you 1345. 95 just to get it fix thats highway robbery . Well the going to reject you an you can get a inspection sticker either.

Takata recall. Air bag light on all the time.

Red airbag light on the dashboard is on. I had the Hyundai dealership diagnose the problem, they told me that the air bag sensor pad in the front passenger seat went bad. They said the seat base would have to be replaced and that it would be $822. 82 for parts + 1. 5 hours labor for a total $985. 00. It seems very odd that the passenger seat airbag sensor would go bad in my car because I hardly ever have a passenger.
Srs,airbag light stays on, passenger airbag light lights up off.
At approximately 67,000. Mi the airbag light came on, had an auto parts store scan the code and said it was passenger seat sensor, at the time I used the car for commuting to work and never had passengers. Now retired and cannot have a passenger for fear that being involved in an accident could be deadly for the occupant of that seat, went to the dealer and was told its not covered under warranty, ( I'm second owner ) and the seat alone would cost at least $900. Plus installation would be about $1200. Or more on a fixed income and cannot afford that, cannot sell the car it lowers the resale, and who would want it. Guess I'm stuck.
About a year ago the air bag light came on for few days for no reason, then it came off. Now the air bag is back on for good, it started up again since July and is still on. We have not been in an accident for it to cause for the air bag light to come back on. I called to see if I can get it repair, the gentleman said it will cost more about $1,000 or more to check it and get it repair. I do not want to pay that much, but my son's safety is my concern. I feel like all the sudden everything with this car is falling apart. Sun visor and now airbag. . .
Air bag light stays on. No reason has been identified. Concerned for all Accent drivers, as this problem has been reported by many people in many places online and in the real world.

Air bag light stays on, plus passenger airbag light says off sometimes even when someone is in the passenger seat. Took in to dealer who says the passenger side sensor (OCS ) needs to be replaced charging approx $1000 for the part. There are many complaints on Hyundais faulty OCS , yet only the sonata has been recalled.
My 30,000 mile Hyundai has a faulty airbag sensor. My warranty was about to go up and I had it fixed. The airbag light is always on because of a seat sensor that doesn't work properly. Basically a week after my warranty went up and two weeks after the dealership fixed the problem, my light went back on. Needless to say it is very concerning having your airbag light on. I have no idea if they'll work so I don't use the interstate. I think it is ridiculous something like an airbag is something I am worrying about on a 5 year old car. I have heard horror stories of the airbags randomly going off or not going off at all in similar Hyundai's. It is a problem that needs to be fixed. It's a joke that I have to worry about my airbag system in 2013.
The passenger occupant sensor in the lower seat cushion failed causing the airbag light to stay on. The dealership scanned the computer and received code b1448. Passenger airbags would not inflate if there was an accident. Needed to replace the sensor to pass inspection.
The airbag light came on and would not turn off. The car was still under warrantee, so Hyundai fixed the problem. Now, just 4 months later ( no longer under warrantee) the light is back on. Other makes and years of Hyundai have the same problem. The 2008 Accent should also have airbag recall. This is the 3rd time for the same problem.
