Air Bag On-off Switch problems of the 2006 Hyundai Sonata

Brake light switch did not function correctly. It caused the brake lights to flash erratically. The brake light switch was replaced and the problem was resolved. The sevice air bag indicator light is on constantly.

The air bag light came back on a couple of months ago, again, informed by dealer that they would have to research it the next time I came in. The park lights will not always shut off when in the auto setting, so far have been able to get them to shut off by repeatedly turning light switch on and off. The abs/esc light comes on randomly and will usually go off after turning car off and restarting. Now, the trunk will not close and the trunk light is on continually and the lights will not light when hitting the door lock button on the fob, so I do not know if the vehicle is secure and safe to enter at night. These situations all occur either when parking or in the case of the abs/esc while driving or when the car is running and stationary.

Driver's airbag light on dash stayed on, and the pass airbag light goes on and off at varying times (w/pass in seat). In 2010, in the summer (?) the dealer replaced a brake light switch under recall. The car most likely had under 80,000 miles on it. At that time I told the dealer's (van horn Hyundai of fond du lac, WI) service person about the pass airbag light and I was told there was no warranty on it. When the pass light would come on I would stop the car and turn the ignition key to the off position. After restarting the car the light would usually stay off.

Airbag light stays on, and ignition switch malfunction.

I had noticed at first the crack in the dashboard in 2006 right after I had purchased my car. They replaced the dashboard, but not correctly the first time. When I finally got my car back, I attempted to turn the headlights in my car on, at that time all of the interior lights of my car went out. There were wires that were apparently switched. At this time I called the dealership again and informed them of the new problem. This issue was subsequently fixed. After they replaced the dashboard I started to have probelms with the driver and passenger side air bag lights going on. The turned them off and stated it was my fault. About three months later both air bag lights came on again. At this time I took it to another dealer who looked up information on the computer and stated that it must have been my fault again. Someone went out to the car and shut them off but no paperwork was written up. Then another 3 months later the lights came on again and there was another crack in the dashboard around the passenger side air bag. I called the original dealer again and they ordered another dashboard for the car. At this time I asked them again to check to see about the airbag lights. They have had my car for a week now (I still do not have it back). While all the air bag lights issue was happening, there is also another issue with the abs and esc (electronic stability control) lights also coming on and not going off. I have been informed the the abs and esc light was coming on because there is a braking issue with the car. And the airbag lights that keep coming on and staying on is because of a sensor issue with the passenger side seat. They are not sure why this keeps happening. They are also not sure what caused the brake issue with the abs and esc lights.

To whom it may concern, I am writing this in regards to a service problem I am encountering concerning my 2006 Hyundai Sonata. I have taken the vehicle in for service two times for a problem with the passenger air bag system, and two times now I have been told they cannot find anything wrong. The problem with the vehicle is that when my wife is in the passenger seat, the passenger air bag off light remains on. It works properly when I am in the seat. The service representative told me that this happens occasionally with this type vehicle and there is nothing they can do about it. This is an unacceptable response and I want this discrepancy fixed. The Hyundai company prides itself on all the safety features. If they don't work properly, I would think you would do all you can to fix it. As for this service department, I will not be returning it there unless it is for warranty service. The last time I had it in for this they said they would call someone for tech assist and get back with me. I don't know if they ever contacted anyone, but I know they did not call back.
