The area in the dash where the passenger airbag is contained recently got two cracks along the edges of the airbag compartment as if the airbag tried to go off and didn't. There was no collision, the dash just cracked. The very next day the airbag light came on and had been on ever since. This seems to be a common problem. With. These cars. Hyundai needs to step it up.

The dashboard near front passenger side airbag is cracked and Hyundai wouldn’t tell me if it affects airbag deployment or safety.

My VIN# does not appear in the recall listing of Hyundai vehicles that are at risk for fires, but 2014 models should be. The original engine was replaced on 12/9/2020, as something melted inside, causing it to seize up. It was replaced with a used engine, with only 51,000 miles. My engine compartment caught on fire, on 10/3/2021, while my son was driving the vehicle on the highway. This model also needs to be placed on the recall list for fire risk!.

The dab module assembly (air bag system) driver's side has to be replaced due to failure. Only warning was a creaking sound from the steering column when turning. Although I have an extended warranty, never been in an accident, and the car is only 6 years old with 44,000 miles, the extended warranty for the air bags is only for 5 years. The cost to replace the dab is over $900. 00. I feel strongly that Hyundai should cover the cost.

The dash cover on my 2009 Genesis 4-door sedan has developed large cracks where the passenger side air bag is located. The concern is that this may cause the air bag to deploy inadvertently or increase the chance of flying shrapnel if/when the air bag should deploy during an accident. This problem started around 90,000 miles and has continued to get worse (the vehicle currently has approximately 125,000 miles). I took the vehicle to the dealer when the problem first appeared, but was told it was not a safety concern, and that it was not covered under the warranty. However, I feel this in fact could cause injury to anyone riding in the front passenger seat. 1 picture is attached.

I was backing out of my garage. My son had his car parked behind me. I saw that I was going to have to pull up to get around the parked car. I put my foot on the brake, I then put the car in drive. Took my foot off the gas and it took off at rocket speed. I wasn't completely out of my garage. The car was going so fast and I couldn't stop it. I was 6 ft from the brick wall. I was going so fast that I went through the brick wall and it didn't even slow down. It kept going took out a chain link fence. Then came to a stop and died. What stopped me was all the brick and fence that was under the car. If it had not stopped it would have killed me. This happened at my home. There was no police report.

The airbag on my dashboard the seam has split. My car is not parked in the sun and this started off as inch now it extends to the hold side of the airbag.

My car went airborne when I hit a railroad crossing with a steep drop off, landed in a ditch and flipped several times end over end, landing upside down. I was airlifted to an area hospital. Only 1 of the 6 airbags deployed. I lost feeling in the side of my face where my head broke the driver's side window and almost bled out. I now have seizures and was recently fired from my job due to having 2 seizures at work. I have only worked part time in the last 2 years. If the air bags had deployed, I would've walked away uninjured. I was also trapped when my hand went through the top window. I was left hanging and had to hold my face with my free hand to stop the bleeding until help arrived. If top airbags would've deployed, my hand wouldn't have been caught under the vehicle. I expected all 6 airbags to work when I bought this vehicle. The impact of the crash should've made all these airbags deploy. The vehicle was completely totaled.

I was involved in a moving two car collision on a city street intersection. After everything came to a stop, I realized my airbag did not work. My front end was totally damage.

Airbag I brought my car in to have the airbag and dash checked by Hyundai dealer in west palm beach florida. The dash around my airbag has cracked in a perfect line at the air bag location photo attached. They refused to check the airbag. However they contacted Hyundai and asked for dash replacement. Hyundai was willing to pay for the dash part but not any labor to install new dash or to check my airbag to make sure it will not go off. I am asking for help to get my airbag checked and also have the dash removed and replaced by Hyundai. I am very concerned that this passenger airbag is affected by the recall. I need this checked out before an insistent happens. Please help. They also refused to put anything in writing. Phone case number 8648772.

The adjustment on the steering column for telescopic/up/down adjustments doesn't hold the steering wheel in place, even under light pressure like trying to honk the horn, the column just pushes in. Since the column cannot stay in place under light pressure, it won't stay in place if the driver's airbag is deployed possibly causing severe injury or death. I first noticed this problem back in 2015, the local deal refused to fix the problem and wanted me to pay for the new steering column and the labor to replace it.
