Warning Light On problems of the 2012 Hyundai Elantra

When I turned on my car on in Sep. 19 2018, the airbag warning light turned and stayed lit. Now, I have the issue of my airbags won't deploy when in a accident. My car has never been in a accident ever, and now I have this problem that it can be one of two things. The cock spring needs to be reset or a computer board needs to be replaced underneath the passenger seat and reprogrammed. Also, it is hard to believe that is not safety concern to neither the Hyundai manufacture or NHTSA. In regards to that, when I had a 2008 Hyundai accent it had the same issue with the airbags light in the dashboard that turned on. Also, when took my accent to the dealership the cost related to that was $2,800 to fix the issue. I feel that if it happened to more then one Hyundai car model the issue should be address and fixed.

There is an active recall campaign on the clockspring for this vehicle. The airbag light will turn on and off while turning the steering wheel while driving. Hyundai charged for a diagnosis which revealed a "b1346 driver airbag resistance too high (1st stage)" code, but they would not replace the clockspring under warranty. On Hyundai's own website they describe the reason for the additional warranty "the clock spring is an electrical connection which rotates with the steering wheel to maintain proper functioning of the airbag unit. Hyundai's system is designed to illuminate the airbag warning light when electrical resistance increases, which can be contributed to by usage patterns and environmental conditions. " and in regards to warranty extension: "Hyundai is extending the warranty coverage for the driver's front airbag clock spring assembly to 15 years, unlimited mileage, from the date of original retail delivery or date of first use. This coverage is automatic; there is no action needed on your behalf. " I would like Hyundai of America to replace the part as promised, as I can't afford to do more diagnostic procedures, and I feel very unsafe driving the vehicle.
