I have an 06 Hyundai Azera and there was a recall made back in 2013 for the passenger seat wiring hireness. The defect would cause the airbag not to deploy. Would I be able to get this defect fixed now? I did not own the vehicle back in 2013, as I did not own it until may of 2015. It is showing the signs of the defect. The air bag light is on and it is throwing error codes b1489&b1495, which is for the passenger occuputant system. I also have this noise like something is loose in the suspension. Every little bump causes a rattling noise. I can not tell if it is the front or back, but I am assuming it is the back since there was a recall on this as well, plus I have replaced all front end parts. And the noise still exists.
The contact owned a 2006 Hyundai Azera. While driving 30 mph, the vehicle struck a block of ice and the contact lost control of the vehicle. As a result, the vehicle skid across the intersection, crashed into a tree head on, and landed in a frozen retention pond. The seat belt was tithing across the contact's chest causing her to bleed. The contact required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent tow lot. The vehicle was destroyed. In addition, the air bags failed to deploy. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 71,400.
The airbags on this car did not deploy after a narrowly avoided head on collision which resulted in driver side impact on the front engine side panel and driver door. The side curtains nor the airbags in the dash and steering column did not deploy resulting in belk did passengers coming in contact with steering column and dash of the knees and chest up both occupants. The impact at the front left tire was forceful enough to cause the tire to tuck up under itself indicating the side air curtains could have prevented contact with the side of the car in addition to the contact described with the chest and knees. Both occupants were transported by ambulance to the emergency room where they were evaluated.
Car was traveling at approx. 18 mph. I applied brakes to make a left turn. When I pressed on the brakes, the car accelerated, and the brakes began stiff and would not stop the car. The car ran into a closed overhead double garage door, continued thru the garage and hit the brick wall on the back of the garage. The airbags did not deploy. I sustained lacerations and bruises. The car was deemed a total loss by the insurance company. Hyundai had the car inspected by an independent third party, and no problems were noted. Hyundai has not shared the results of the investigation with us. We have since used our own third party to test the car and the abs and esc warning lights remain on indicating there is a problem with both systems.
Received a letter from Hyundai in 2010 advising of damage to the right front seat belt sensor wiring which if becomes damaged will cause the air bag warning light to illuminate. If this problem persists the passenger air bag will not deploy in a crash. On 07/21/2010 this was supposedly fixed by the dealership. On 01/26/12 the air bag warning illuminated I returned to the dealership and was told that the repair would be my responsibility as it had already been repaired. On o4/12/12 I returned to the dealership to have the repair made and was then told the the problem was in was an internal short in the passenger seat track. Hyundai is claiming no responsibility for the repair and stated that it is my problem. I feel that this is a deterioation of the initial recall and shoud be repaired by Hyundai since the part was defective.
