The air bag light came on for the front passenger seat. I took it to grayson Hyundai & they tried to get part #88840-3l500-j9 which is the latch right front buckle assembly. I was told there was no part available because my car is a 2006 & manufactures are only required to carry parts for 10 years. I was also told if the air bags worried me to trade cars. I would think the seat belt buckle for a safety feature like the air bag would have to always be available. I have owned this car since 2006, it only has 26,600 miles on it. It has always been garage kept & literally looks like a new one except I have no air bags. Also, today I was told part #88840-3l500-j9 is on a national parts list, whatever that means. Surely this has happened to someone else. I just decided to report it.

I took my 2006 Azera to the dealership when I received a recall notice for a possible srs malfunction (10v007000). After a year or so the srs light came on intermittently but was mostly off. Starting this week (3/15/2019) the srs light has stayed on and won't go off. Based on what I have read, this is a common problem for Azera owners. I believe a second recall is necessary since the first one did not solve the problem for very long.
Airbag did not deplore until after the car fully stopped but the seat belt on the drivers side tighten continuously until I got a bleed injury inside my right breast the righting stopped only after I was abke to release it then afterwards the airbag deplored only in the drivers side no other airbags came out during this accident.

I have owned my 2006 Hyundai Azera since 9/06. From the beginning my complaint to them has been the passenger air bag would not engage when I was sitting as a passenger. I am petite but the answer of "you are just too thin" was really not the professional answer I was searching for. This also has happened when my 16 year old 180lbs son was my passenger. In 1997, I was involved in a head on collision with a drunk driver. I was very adamant with the service dept about this issue as I know my air bag deployment saved me in that crash. When did Hyundai know this was a problem with the Azera during the years they were telling me I did not weigh enough. What will I be before this gets fixed, if they are better than Toyota at that, or, if I am involved in another innocent accident? I just don't think this recently discovered as it has been happening to me since 2006. I feel as if my life has been arbitrarily ignored for the past 4 years and that is wrong.
