1 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 07/07/2020

For the last two years the air bag sensor keeps coming on. Most recent is the last few days. It's staying on, not gone off. Second time it came on, early 2019, I took to dealer. That day it had gone off but they said they ran a diagnostic and nothing was wrong. Yet again it's on since July 7th. Every time when started the vehicle, lights on dash came on but airbag light never goes off. I've been driving around with it on for 3 days. .

2 Air Bag Light On problem

My airbag light came on 3 days ago and hasn't turned back off. Today I tested my seatbelts and they don't lock like they're supposed to "upon impact". I called my local hyindai dealership who informed me that there is no safety recall available to remedy this safety issue.

5 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2019

Airbag light comes on and off at random, regardless of whether there is a passenger in the seat or not. Car was taken to a Hyundai dealership, and they discovered a seat cushion with a sensor was malfunctioning. This would cost close to a $1000. 00 to fix. This is a safety issue, thus, this should be a recall. Do not wait until enough people and children have died from this. Most of us do not have $1000. 00 to dish out for a fancy seat cushion. I see from many complaints that this is a big problem. Please take this seriously and put out a recall for those of us that are too broke to fix a safety malfunction that came with the car.
