1 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2010 Hyundai Accent

Failure Date: 10/30/2021

Last week my airbag red light came on out of no where, no accident led to this. This car has been maintained and any repairs done in a timely fashion I called Hyundai headquarters and spoke to a supervisor. She went on and on about everything but what I was calling about. She then devulged some interesting issues regarding my vehicle. First she said there was a recall. On my vehicle. I believe she said 944, which she said was a rust issue recall on the undercarrige. She then went on to say the passenger side safety was an issue and complaints from other Accent owners of airbag light she then said OH I bet thats why you airbag light is on . She did also spkeak of my car having some sort of extended factory warranty. , calling it either a txx or possibly pxx whatever that means. I have been doing a lot of research on this only to find out there are many Hyundai Accents that have had airbag irepaired for free. I was not told that mine would also be fixed free of charge. Due to my persistence they expediated my complaint to a case manager whom I should hear from in a couple of days. My case number is 18924458. Why has there not been a recall on this? it obviously is a manufacturers defect and has occurred in many Accents. What should I do until I hear from case manager? what happens if I disagree with the case workers decision? I do have receipts for close to $ 2,000 worth of routine maintence and repairs which I will upload to you depending on the findings of the case manager.

2 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2015 Hyundai Accent

Failure Date: 03/26/2021

Yesterday, on March 26, 2021 during road trip an airbag light came on without no reason and it still stays on. On March 27, 2021 I called my dealer to get help. I was trying to ask them to waive inspection fee because it is safety concern, but they said "no". My car is 6 years old, 66,000 mileage. I am first owner and this car was never involved in any crash. Because of present covid19 crisis I have not enough money to pay upfront for special inspections. I hope that I will get help in your department.

3 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2017 Hyundai Accent

Failure Date: 01/01/2021

I bought it used with 63,000 miles around 11/8/20, everything was going good, and one day I noticed the airbag light was on. Over a the next couple of days, the light would stay on & if I turned my car off and on again, it would turn off but come back on a couple minutes later. I looked it up, and it talked about a possible issue with the airbag system or the airbag sensor. I also noticed that a lot of people had the airbag light issue with their Hyundai vehicles, mostly the Accent models.

6 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2017 Hyundai Accent

Failure Date: 07/21/2020

Occupant classification system defect. My car was only 2,000 miles out of warranty and Hyundai will not cover this defect. Right passenger seat air bag sensor mat is faulty causing the air bag light to come on. I've done my research online and this is pretty common. It should be a recall and I shouldn't be having to spend $1,400 to get it fixed.

7 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2016 Hyundai Accent

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. .

11 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2009 Hyundai Accent

Failure Date: 12/07/2019

When the car is started, the air bag light turns on and won't turn off. Restarted several times since and the air bag light still stays on. Another issue that I never reported is both driver and passenger sun visors won't stay up. I replaced the driver side, but this is very distracting to a driver to have the visor drop downand feel this should be considered a safety concern. The rest of the information is about the air bag light being on, not the visors.

15 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2016 Hyundai Accent

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.

16 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2015 Hyundai Accent

Failure Date: 09/14/2019

At first in the beginning my car does it once in a blue moon; however now everyday for the past two months my car would power down while being at a red light, stop sign, or in motion. When it powers down the engine and battery lights comes on. I would have to put the car in park and restart my car. It normally does it twice everyday. This is a safety hazard for myself and my baby. I'm scared that a car would come up behind and hit me while my baby is in the car. I fear our lives. When I took it to autozone for them to check and see why my check engine light was on the code was always catalytic converter. I went to go get that fix and my car is still having the same problem. Also, when my car is in motion the rpm doesn't move it stays at 0. Also, the sensor for the passenger air bag isn't working. When somebody is sitting on the passenger side the airbag light is off, but when somebody isn't sitting there the airbag light is on. I haven't been in any accidents.

28 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2012 Hyundai Accent

Failure Date: 01/02/2019

My 2012 Hyundai Accent just passed 100,000 miles and the passenger airbag light came on. I have had this same issue with a 2006 Hyundai and I understand this is a longstanding issue with multiple models and years. The fix can be very invasive and expensive and only some are covered by recall. Checking the VIN number, my Hyundai is not currently covered by a recall, but I believe it should be as this is a continuing issue.
