Air Bag Light On problems of the 2002 Hyundai Sonata

Tl -the contact owns a 2002 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated the air bag light sporadically illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and independent mechanic where the technician diagnosed vehicle needed new connectors and wiring under passenger side seat. The manufacturer was made aware of failure. The failure mileage was 150,000. Mc.

I have had the Sonata at the arapahoe Hyundai dealer on two different occasions having the airbag light reset/fixed they told me it was a connection problem and they had to use a special grace to fix it now it's the third time the light has come on and I'm having to take it back to the dealer again not knowing what they're going to find this time. Looking on the internet there's hundreds and hundreds of people with problems with Sonata airbag lights looks like this is a problem that Hyundai needs to recall. I've been told by the dealer that the airbag system will not work if the air bag light is on thank you.

My air bag light came on. It stays on while driving now. Updated 03/10/11.

Air bag light stays on my 2002 Hyundai Sonata. This has been a problem on and off for the past four years. The car was checked out by Hyundai dealers in staten island and new jersey four different times. Every time with a code b1738,high resistance driver side air bag,repairs were made by them but problem still came back. I made a complaint to Hyundai customer relations,case #3292132 about the on going problem with the air bag system,their reply was this was caused by debris under the drivers side seat. They also said if I wasn't happy with their answer I could take them to small claims court. The person I was in contact with at Hyundai was a misty 1800 633 5151 ext. 329 2132. On July 18 2007 Hyundai of freehold charged me $211. 86 to make repairs (poor connection under drivers side seat)codeb1378 at this time my car had 14,315 miles on it. Then on may 08 2008 at mileage of 18,895 I had to take it back for the same problem code b1378, at this time the dealer reset the srs at no charge but would deduct the $211. 86 they charged me towards the cost of a new wire harness if needed. Even though this car is six years old it has very low mileage on it,so it hasn't been abused . I feel there is a serious problem with the srs system in this make and model car. If the srs system isn't working this means the air bag will fail if there is an accident. All I want is to get this failure repaired properly,but it appears Hyundai will not admit to having problems with their air bag wiring.

She took the vehicle to the dealer four times and they attempted to repair the harness in order to remedy the issue. However, the indicator illuminated again a few days later. The manufacturer could not assist because the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The better business bureau referred the contact to NHTSA. The current mileage was approximately 64,000 and failure mileage was approximately 55,000. Updated 04-14-09 the tie rod was replaced. Updated 04/16/09.
