Started having a problem with the vehicle when my wife rode with me and the "passenger airbag off" light flashed on and off. Eventually, it started to remain on the whole time with her in the seat. Now the passenger seat belt unfastened light flashes constantly with no one in the seat. I took it to my local Hyundai to diagnose the issue and it is reading a fault code b1489 indicating an issue with the passenger occupant detection system (pods). Since there are numerous other Hyundai model's dating back to the mid-2000's that have had recall's on the pods, I am wondering if my vehicle may use the same seat sensor's that the other model's use. I haven't received a straight answer to if when the pods is defective, will the passenger airbags not deploy, or will they deploy no matter what should the event be triggered.

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.
After the vehicle is started, the air bag warning indicator illuminates. Issue seems to be related to a recall for campaign 094 which was fixed in Dec 2014. My regular car service provider has diagnosed and confirmed it to the same issue and says the recall is not properly fixed but the Hyundai dealer does not agree. How can one confirm if recall was properly fixed or not. Air bag and seat belt indicator came on after few months of fixing the recall. I initially thought it to be some computer codes issue and got the codes cleared but it came back after a month again. Campaign 094 states "the wiring harness for the right front seat belt tension sensor may become damaged after repeated use of the right front seat belt. If the wiring is damaged, the passenger front airbag will not deploy in the event of a crash. Dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began February 22, 2010. The Hyundai recall number is 094. " I don't remeber the exact date of when this happened so I am putting a dummy date of 01/01/2016.

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.
Cracks started develop cracks on the dashboard on the passenger side over the airbag. Called my local dealer, where I purchased my car, universal Nissan and Hyundai they did not have an knowledge regarding cracks on the passenger side dashboard over the airbag. They suggested that I call Hyundai, I did. I got the same round a round, they gave me case # 5235732. I've seen on the internet many more people with the same problem. Their emails from mechanics and Hyundai personnel acknowledge the issue with the crack over the airbag and that did have their dashboards exchanged. If ever I have an accident and the passenger airbag does not deploy properly and someone is injured or dies some one will answer for it.
I purchased a 2007 Hyundai Azera on 06/20/2007. Received a form letter notice of recall from Hyundai motor America on 3/11/2010. Essentially, the notice said that if the "air bag" warning light in the instrument cluster will illuminate to indicate a problem exists in the right front seat air bag system. . . That the air bag will not deploy in the event of a crash. I immediately called the dealer and took car in to fix the air bag situation. After six hours of waiting, I was informed that the dealer did not have the part(s) needed for the repair. I was told to call back in two weeks to schedule another fix attempt. I called on April 8. The service dept. Told me that the part was not in yet and to "call in ten days or so. " on April 20th and was told the part(s) were on "national back order. " at this point I asked for another Azera to drive whose air bag system works until they were able to fix the recall problem. (I didn't want to drive with my wife in the front passenger seat and run the risk of her being injured or killed if my car was involved in an accident. ) the dealer's response to my request for a loaner was denied. Questions: --is the dealer (or Hyundai motor America) required by law to provide for my safety with a loaner car? --the description of a "national backorder" seems like it may take several months before my 2007 Azera can be repaired? is there anything you can do to hold Hyundai's feet to the fire to speed this up? --any suggestions for me going forward? thank you for your time and interest.
Airbag covering has cracked on either side of the passenger side front airbag module. This first occurred back in 2009 and was told by 2 Hyundai dealers that this is a common problem with the 2006-2009 Azeras. In reading several Hyundai Azera forums (edmunds, Hyundai-forums, etc), it is very clear to me that this is indeed a very common problem. As the vehicle was out of warranty at that time, my nearest dealer offered to repair it for $2000. 00+. However, as I feel if the problem is so common, than perhaps a NHTSA investigation is warranted with the hopeful expectation that Hyundai will issue a recall and/or cover the costs to repair. I am deeply concerned that the passenger side airbag will not deploy correctly if and when needed. Please look into this serious safety problem.
I own a 2008 Hyundai Azera the airbag light came on the dashboard and stayed lit. I took it to the dealership and was told there was a defective side impact airbag sensor that needed to be replaced. I was given a 2009 Hyundai sonata loaner and was in an accident with that vehicle. The other vehicle t-boned my drivers side and caused over $11,000. 00 in damage. The side impact airbags did not deploy. I suffered a deep gash to the back of the head requiring staples to close it--a sprained should, which I still do not have full range of motion and a softball size hemotoma on my left leg. I contacted Hyundai corporation in CA to file a claim. I followed all of their protocol, filled out their forms and supplied all documents requested--police report, estimate, photos, repair document from my '08 Azera and overnighted the package to them within their allotted time frame. It's been 8 weeks since the accident and I still do not have an answer from Hyundai as to why the airbags did not deploy.
My vehicle was struck while standing still waiting for a traffic signal to turn green. The other vehicle which struck my vehicle was travelling possibly 20 - 25 miles per hour. Damage almost totaled my car. My wife was driving, alione in the vehicle and was injured but did not report it at the time. She was injured because the air bag did not deploy. She was wearing a seat belt which operated correctly. At the time, because other cars and excitement, no one paid attention or reported the fact that the front seat air bag did not deploy. Now, four years late, a red air bag warning light has lighted along with another faulty seat belt warning light for passenger side. The Hyundai people deny any problem with the air bag. I believe the air bag system to be defective. I have never been notified of a recall.
