5 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 01/14/2014

Purchased new, original owners. Airbag light has come on various times requiring repair, and dealership of purchase (north park Hyundai) has always refused to repair defects under warranty coverage on vehicle. Airbag control module failed for no real reason (dealership said moisture caused failure - very hot and humid in south louisiana) and refused to cover the part so we paid over 600 bucks to change the module because our college age daughter is using this vehicle. Not long after this repair (that was told to us, by this dealership, would take care of this problem), the airbag light came on again. Our latest visit to this dealership was the same - this time they said it is the airbag sensor under the passenger seat (not the center console one that failed last time) and (wouldn't you know it) they wanted another 600 dollars to change this module! there are obviously issues with the 2008 Tiburon airbag system (this car only has around 60k miles on it), and we are very concerned when we are in it. Luckily the car has never been in an accident.

6 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2010

Airbag light continuously illuminated. I've been the only owner of this vehicle since new (8 years) and it started shortly after purchase. Have taken it to the dealership multiple times regarding airbag light and they disconnect the battery and it disappears for a while. I've never been in a crash so have no idea if this light indicates the airbags will deploy or not.
