I was in a car accident in 2019 and my airbags never deployed. Since then, the airbag light has stayed on. I've gone to every mechanic around about my airbag light and they all say I have a recall on the car. I've also been pulled over multiple times over my brake light either not illuminating or staying illuminated while driving.
There have been various problems that were discovered recently mostly based on the rear suspension and shocks. The brake lights have gone out many times and the alignment is frequently incorrect, and so the tires go through a lot of wear. The most recent tires were placed 9 months ago and already have terrible wear from both the suspension and the alignment. Whenever the car is in motion, the car does not drive as smoothly as it should and bounces lightly. There is loud noise whenever driving over speed bumps as if the tire pressure is poor. There is also a grinding noise when the car turns somewhat sharply. Many of these problems have existed for a while but were only diagnosed today at a midas auto in wilmington, nc.
My Hyundai Sonata has had issues lately with esc. When I have 2-4 people in my car, esc automatically turns itself off after 5 minutes while driving it and I'm unable to turn it back on unless I turn the car off and on again. As a result of this, my brake lights do not light up at times, as I have noticed this by parking my car in my garage at night and pushed on my brake pedal. When the breaks are repeatedly pressed, there is a 3-5 second lag time for the lights to turn on. That is enough time to keep a vehicle behind me in the dark and end up rear ending me.

Esc off light comes on and the brake lights stop functioning/lighting when brake pedal is pressed.
My brake lights no longer function. My "esc off" light and check engine light appeared. I had a mechanic scan my car regarding the aforementioned issues and the code that displayed was "p0504". After researching this code I have discovered: the engine control module (ecm) has detected a fault in correlation between the two brake switch circuits. This very problem has resulted a massive recall for Hyundai & kia vehicles. Unfortunately, my vehicle is not eligible for the recall according to the VIN look up for this recall campaign (110). I should not have to pay out of pocket for this manufacturer defect!!!.
Hyundai has changed my seat belt buckle numerous times because of an air bag related issue. Now that its out of warranty they will not cover it. Air bag light back on and they want,$400 to replace the bad seatbelt with any warranty. This is probably the 4th time since I had the vehicle brand new that im having this problem, I never in my life experienced so many airbag problems with a vehicle other then a Hyundai. Also now they are saying my brake light switch is bad yet again after they supposely changed it out a few years ago for a recall, to many of the same problems with Hyundai. Scared to drive the car feels like I bought a lemon. Wish there was more that Hyundai could do for there customers but it seems like they dont care. What ever happend to Hyundai slogan about safety 1st. .

I was notified by another driver that the brake lights on my car were out. Specifically the left and center lights. The left was easy to fix but the center is a nightmare. I will have to take to a dealership. $50. After doing extensive reading on the internet, I found out that this is a known issue with several Hyundai cars and they and ntsa have done nothing about it. Hyundai is claiming that a brake switch recall they issued in 2009 solves the problem. It does not. People with this issue have been told by dealerships everything from bad ground to defective wiring harnesses. This virtually makes the car illegal and a death trap. I can't tell you how many people have been cursing me in the last few weeks, evidently because this issue has been in place. Thanks to one good samaritan I now now why. A recall needs to happen yesterday!!!!!.

My air bag light stays on all the time. Whenever I am driving alone, my passenger seatbelt light flashes not stop. This two things been going on for a while now. Also my my lights stay on even after I switch my lights off, I have to turn them on and turn them back off until they shut off. A mechanic told me its the brake light switch causing the problem. I have had technicians look at these issues, and it will cost hundreds to repair. I believe Hyundai is missing out the point that the 2007 Sonata models have an air bag issue too.
