My air bag “off” light comes on and then off again.
Once my 2015 Hyundai Accent reached 80k the airbag light came on. I took into the dealership for them to look into and found that the passenger side air bag sensor failed and needed replaced. Cost of new sensor was $1000. 00. Did some research on the issue and found that air bag sensors are failing on the passenger side for many Hyundai Accent owners. I believe some reported to this very agency. I plan on having the sensor replaced, however wanted to report the issue and the amount of reports on forums and reports to the NHTSA in hopes that it will be recalled so that future Hyundai Accent owners can be aware of the issue and protect their passengers.
Airbag light turns on/off. Had dealership investigate and found that it is related to the occupancy sensor mat in the passenger seat. Code was reset (no work performed) and remained off 7 months and now is back on. Could be related to weather (comes on more frequently during fall & winter). Dealer states it is a b1767 code and will need OCS mat replaced.
I was involved in a collision with a flying object that went through the windshield, knocked off my mirror, and damaged the frame of my car. The airbag attempted to deploy; however, it failed to do so. No warnings. The vehicle is currently at the shop waiting to be repaired. The airbag has not been inspected yet.
Ods system mat is defective. We are seeing the same cold temperature malfunction of the ods system that have been reported for other 2015 Hyundai Accent cars. We feel that the recall should expanded.
Airbag light on. Dealer pulled codes b7614 and b1490. Ocs fault in mat. Recommended replacing OCS mat in passenger seat. Airbag light turns on when weight in passenger seat vacant, or does not reach weight threshold. Light usually turns off when passenger is in seat. However, vehicle could not pass state inspection with this occupant detection system malfunction.
Passenger front airbag is constantly on. From time you turn it on till you n it off.
Driving on hwy 6, 6 lanes, heard a low squeal. Haven't had my horn/airbag looked at yet, but I have duct taped the horn down to stop the squeal sound. Glad the airbag didn't deploy! will have an inspection soon, hope it doesn't cost much to fix! 832-364-5231.
Air bags didn't deploy after a wreck that affected front driver side mph 35, signaificant damage done to front in. Car was in motion another car cut in front of that car had a small dent.
I was in an accident on March 12 2018 a tractor trailer sidewiped the LS of my car and destroyed the entire side . The car might be totaled. No airbags went off at all! he came into my lane at a good speed and a full load. I am lucky to be alive. I have had other problems with this car only to be ignored by the dealer. I paid cash for the car at the end of 2015 and now I have nothing. Besides being hurt.
