The contact owns a 2005 Hyundai Elantra. Upon starting the vehicle, the air bag indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the OCS mat failed and the front passenger seat needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired by the contact's husband; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to autonation Hyundai mall of georgia (3445 buford dr ne, buford, GA 30519) where it was diagnosed that the failure recurred and the seat needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

The passenger seat weight classification sensor failed and as a result the car shut down the airbag system. The airbag warning light is on and as such none of the airbags will function. The dealer quoted me at nearly $2,000 to fix the problem, and mentioned replacing the entire seat bottom. Requiring a complete seat replacement for a simple sensor seems like a major design flaw. Meanwhile, this really affects the safety of the vehicle as the airbags are not functioning.

Regardless of whether or not a passenger is seated in the passenger seat, the 'air bag' light on the dashboard goes off - problem began upon initially starting car, and is not linked to any accident ever occurred. A recall should be issued by the department of transportation for the safety of passengers riding in these vehicles.

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?.

My car was stopped in a 45 mph zone when it was rear-ended by a truck. At the time of collision my seat moved back rapidly on the rails and the back of the seat flipped down several stops. Of a passenger had been seated behind me she would have likely been injured. I wonder if this seat is safe and if there have been similar incidents? it could be a recall item. I was advised by Hyundai customer service to take it to the nearest dealer and have it checked. The car is in the body shop and nearest dealer is 60 miles. . .

I bought used car with air bag lights on. No accident on the car and air bag light is on. I checked witth my local mechanic and he checked and told me sensor on passenger front seat is bad and need to replace seat.

When braking or accelerating, the driver's seat slides forward and backward slightly. I have been told this is "normal", but none of my previous cars had this problem and, frankly, it makes me feel unsafe.

The last incident occurred this July, 2002. I will try to have it addressed by the dealer at my next oil change.
