Air Bag Light On problems of the 2009 Hyundai Sonata

Airbag light will not turn off. I have taken the car to two dealerships and they have not been able to fix the problem. The OCS is defective. I have had the car for 10 years and no one ever sits in the passenger seat. I do put groceries on the seat at times. I believe the problem is the same as the TSB campaign that was put out for 2006 -2008 Sonata. The campaign number is 083. How can I find out if my 2009 Sonata was manufactured in 2008? when the vehicle was returned from the first dealer the seatbelt light was flashing.

We believe our vehicle has a takata air bag system. It is a 2009 Hyundai Sonata that was built in 2008. In November 2018, cracks started to appear on the dashboard above the air bags. It has gotten progressively worse since. The air bag light has come on and is consistently staying on while driving the car. The book says to contact the dealer. All indications from information online state that this is a serious safety concern and must be addressed immediately. We feel concerned about driving it. It was purchased new on 09/10/2008. We believe that this car should have been listed in the recalls for the Hyundai Sonatas years 2007-2008 since it was built in 2008.

Driving along on a city street and noticed airbag indicator on console was on. Looked around and the passenger airbag indicator off light was not off. Passenger seat belt indicator was flashing and there was no passenger in seat.

Air bag light turned “on” the dash of the 2009 Hyundai Sonata. Called and reported to Hyundai (case # upon NHTSA request) and then took the vehicle to a Hyundai dealer. Vehicle has 26,456 miles on 12/23/2014. Dealer description of fault – scanned for dtcs, b1322 and b1324 present and active in srs system. Cleared codes and attempted wcs reset procedure via gds, reset failed and dtcs returned. Passenger seat bottom needs replaced per TSB 09-bd-007. Customer declined repairs at this time. Quoted $2,189, tax included. I paid $127. 43 to diagnose the srs system problem. The NHTSA has a campaign (recall # 08v161000) for the failure of occupant classification system (OCS) in the right front seat for 2006 – 2008 Hyundai Sonatas. This 2009 Hyundai Sonata was manufactured on 01/8/2008. These early manufactured 2009 Hyundai Sonatas should be included in NHTSA campaign (recall # 08v161000) since the same 2008 passenger seat bottom part was probably used in these vehicles. The failure of occupant classification system (OCS) in the right front seat is a safety issue that the NHTSA needs to address.

Air bag light on the display has come up and it won't go away. Took the vehicle to dealer and I was told that there is spring in the steering wheel worth $450 need to be replaced. Also I have been asked to replace passenger seat belt buckle assembly costing more than $350, to correct the airbag light. I read that an investigation is going on for 2008 Hyundai Sonata for the mentioned seat belt buckle. Please conduct an investigation into the mentioned air bag issue to find out if this is a widespread issue with the model and get the manufacturer to bear the cost.

The passenger air bag light continues to flash when there is no one in the seat. Took to the dealer and they said it is suppose to flash when first start up the car, but I let them know that it on the entire time I am driving. The dealer said they could not duplicate the issue. I took video of it so I can show them. It is on multiple days in a roll with nothing in the seat. I want to make sure it will work correctly when I do have someone sit in the seat.
