Air Bag Light On problems of the 2006 Hyundai Elantra

Air bag light on brake lights stay on after car off and foot not pushing them on.

The car airbag light intermittently comes on. It does not seem to be related to anything in particular. A mechanic read code b1448 for a defective passenger side seat occupancy sensor. It seems this is a common problem with Hyundai's and the accent's were recalled but not the Elantra. I suspect the same or similar problem is happening with the 2016 Hyundai Elantra occupant sensor.

Tl the contact owns a 2006 Hyundai Elantra. While the vehicle was stationary and while driving various speeds, the air bag indicator illuminated, which was a safety concern. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall on the vehicle. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

This safety complaint has to do with the b1448 oc sensor mat defect, I have an air bag light on and have used a scan tool and got the code for the b1448 oc sensor mat defect. This issue was given a recall for the Hyundai sonata but I have a Hyundai Elantra and there is no recall but my car faces the same issue. I've read that dealers try to charge as much as $1,000 to fix this issue.

Passenger airbag light in the center has never worked properly since I've gotten the car, the light never used to go off when an adult was sitting in the passenger seat which means the airbags were disabled. Now the dashboard airbag light has been illuminated constantly for about 6 months and does not ever go off, meaning all airbags are disabled. It came on upon starting up my vehicle and has not gone off since. This is very dangerous and a common problem with this car, but is not reported properly via NHTSA, instead many complaints are made via forums. Also, when driving at night and my headlights are on, turning the wheel and using the blinker causes all dash lights as well as my headlights and brake lights to flicker briefly. Rear windows are not able to be rolled down via the main control on the driver's side, only can be rolled up.

Air bag light came on 2 weeks ago, technician said the code is b1448 passenger seat mat cushion sensor. I am told that all air bags are now disabled and this is a very expensive repair. I see several complaints on this issue in just the latest incident reports. This should be repaired by Hyundai at no cost to the consumer.

Air bag light is on.

Air bag light on / emmisions air bag all senors were swapped and now I'm being told the cushion should be replaced since the sensor swap didn't solve the problem. $1500 emissions/ pumping gas fuel pump was replaced. Gas pump kicks out after 2-3 seconds when putting in gas. Now I'm told I need to replace charcoal canister, canister close valve, purge control valve, and vent valve. If I don't I eventually won't be able to put gas in the tank. $1,100 they are both serious safety issues and Hyundai needs to back up their product. These are simple consumable pieces like fluids, values, hoses or filters.

Air bag light on dash is lit all the time. Dealer has reset the light on two occasions, but it keeps coming back after a few drives in the car. Dealer says the passenger seat occupant sensor is shorted out. Dealer informed me that while the air bag light is lit, the air bags are disabled and will not deploy, even if in an accident. Now I own a car that will not protect me in a crash and is unsafe to drive. Dealer says the only repair is to replace the entire passenger seat bottom costing over $1400. The car is not worth much more than that, but it is worth alot to me because I need it for transportation.

Airbag light stay on.

The airbag light goes on and stays on.

Intermittent problem where dash air bag light continues to go on and off, whether passenger seat is occupied or not. Problem started to occur shortly after rear end collision, and diagnosis from Hyundai dealer pointed to defective right front seat mat and sensor. Diagnosis and repair costs estimated to be $1500. 00. Insurance carrier denies connection between rear end collision and air bag light/seat problem. We are concerned about our safety while using 2006 Hyundai Elantra with intermittent air bag light, and numerous other air bag related complaints for this particular make and model. Can manufacturer comment and help customers and address this unusual defect occurence, and should recall be made due to numerous related air bag complaints in the system?.

Air bag light randomly illuminates if a passenger is seated in the car. Hyundai dealership demands $100 just to look at the car with no work performed and says that the problem is probably a "lighter weight" person or someone sitting "incorrectly" in the seat. As this is not the case, and the problem occurs no matter who is seated in the passenger seat, there is grave concern that the airbags will fail if involved in an accident - or will deploy and cause an accident. Considering Hyundai's historical issues with air bags and recalls on model years surrounding the 2006 model and complaints found all over the internet related to airbag issues for this model year as well, it is without a doubt a manufacturing issue. We would like to see an investigation and official recall in place to resolve the safety issue.

When an adult passenger (weight 125 lbs) is sitting in the front passenger seat, the "passenger airbag is disabled" indicator remains illuminated. In the event of a collision this could result in the passenger airbags remaining undeployed, possibly further resulting in injury or death.

Air bag light came on and stays on. Hyundai had recalls on 2005 and 2007-2009 years models. My car was built on 6/16/2006 and the recall for the 2007 was 7/14/2006. They have known issues with the air bags in a number of year models. The 2006 year model needs to be include in these recalls. Is it a safety issue and having a disabled wife riding with me makes me feel uncomfortable driving it. There are numerous reports of issues with this year model all over the internet.

Passenger side air bag off- warning indicator would come on at inappropriate times . When it should be on , no rider in seat it would not be lit. When rider in passenger seat, the warning indicator would be on. It would function right sometimes and not at others. Now it no longer works at all . Air bag warning indicator in driver center gauge console is now on always. This leaves you wondering will the supplemental restraint system will work or not . The Hyundai's sister company kia had a recall on their air bag system and this left me hope full Hyundai would right this problem.

I have a 2006 Hyundai Elantra that was manufactured February 4, 2006. Within the first year the air bag light in the dash illimunated when a pot hole was hit but turned off when driven over railroad tracks. Air bag light recently came on again now that car is over 50,000 miles and our of warranty dealership claims that the srs harnesses driver and passenger need to be fully replaced. These parts cost over 1200. 00 without labor and neither have been recalled in this year and model. Dealership informed me that none of the airbags in the vehicle will work while this light is illuminated. Passenger seat is operated by a weight sensor and previously had illuminated properly until I paid the dealership to look at my car. I noticed later that evening that now the lights were not illuminating in regard to the passenger air bag. Vehicle was bought brand new and has never been involved in any wrecks.

Air bag dash light constantly lit and passenger air bag indicator constantly off even with passengers sitting in it or even if the seat is empty.

I noticed that my airbag light stays on near my dashboard where are the speedometer is and when I have passengers in my car the passenger airbag light is off I don't believe my sensors work for my airbags.

Was broadsided in my 2006 Hyundai Elantra, prior to my accident had car at dealer twice where car was purchased for problems with airbag light going off an on. No matter who sat in front seat it still did that. I was told both times that it was fine only it wasn't, my 14 yr. Old daughter was in front seat the side air bag did not go off. She hit her head on the passenger window causing her to be rushed to the hospital. She is ok but still feeling pain. Only after this accident did I hear about some of the recalls and troubles others have had.

Airbag light on dash illuminated for 10+ years, will not shut off. Passenger air bag off light in center console will not illuminate regardless of even when a small statured passenger is present or there is no passenger at all.

The contact owns a 2006 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated the front passenger air bag off indicator illuminated whenever a passenger was positioned in the front passenger seat. An authorized dealer was notified and the failure was not diagnosed nor was the vehicle repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the defect. The failure mileage and VIN were unavailable.
