8 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe

Failure Date: 08/20/2019

On July 27, 2019 driving on a county road at 50 mph in dry and sunny conditions, the airbag light illuminated as well as the passenger seatbelt light. The next morning I scheduled service right away. I started my car to go to schwartz Mazda in shrewsbury NJ on 7/27/19 for service thru my purchased extended warranty. At that time, neither the airbag or seatbelt lights were on, but nervous for mine and my family's safety, I brought the car anyway. I was informed by jarrod in the service department that they reset my computer and to let him know if the light(s) came back on. The airbag light came on briefly on August 11th while driving on a residential road going 35 mph on a dry and sunny day. I turned off the vehicle to park and then restarted my car to return home. The light was not on. Monday August 19th while traveling on a county road at 45 mph in rainy wet driving conditions airbag light came on accompanied by the flashing passenger seat belt light again. Made an appt for service on Tuesday, August 20th with once again, schwartz Mazda in shrewsbury NJ where I purchased the vehicle in may of 2018. Both lights were on upon my arrival in sunny and dry driving conditions. Their code reader produced the code "passenger mat sensor" and I was informed they would have to send it to circle Hyundai in shrewsbury for further diagnosis. I received a call from jarrod at schwartz Mazda at 11 am on Thursday August 22 with news that my repair was not covered under my purchased extended warranty and that the repairs would cost almost $600. I am fearful for my family's safety and the resources I have reached out to have been useless and unaccomodating. Why is no one concerned for the safety of airbags that will not inflate in the event of emergency? please contact me with a course of action I can take to repair this vehicle and keep my family safe.

Failure Date: 03/10/2019

The air bag light came on my console 2 days ago. I took it to a mechanic who ran a diagnostic on it and concluded it was the occupant classification system (OCS). I found out there was a recall on 07/25/2012 recal number 12v354000 for this exact problem. However, I was not the owner at that time. I called 2 Hyundai dealerships nearby - countryside and st. Petersburg, FL who both told me they could not find any open recalls under my VIN number. This is unacceptable. Hyundai needs to accept all charges for the cost to repair this issue and it should be covered under the recall. As of now I am driving a vehicle that is unsafe because Hyundai will not honor my vehicle!!!.

Failure Date: 08/18/2017

A week ago, the red lamp on my dashboard for air bag began to stay lit, while driving, parked, anytime the vehicle was running. Then a few days ago, while my 275 lb son was sitting in the passenger seat, the passenger air bag light stayed lit, saying off, indicating it was not working, despite having a passenger in the seat. Both of these have had recalls, (12v354000) and 11v472000, but I have not received notification to have serviced. One I suspect is because my vehicle was manufactured March 27th, and the recalled includes dates though March 21 (2008) but it is the same problem, so my vehicle should be repaired without cost to me. This is a safety concern for both drivers and passengers in this vehicle. I also have a special needs son, who cannot comprehend safety issues. . . .
