Airbag light is on. Error code leads to passenger side seatbelt issue. Dealer just reset computer and light came back on. Known campaign #094 on this but doesn't apply to this VIN. Unknown if airbag will actually deploy in event of an accident. Light is on and dealer wants to charge $350 for the part alone (seat belt latch).

When I bought the car from a dealership its also had an airbag light on.

Takata recall air bag light remains on door handles inside and outside constantly break off even after being replaced by factory parts leaving occupants trapped in car also replaced camshaft contoller cause wiring is melting. Contacted brandon Hyundai dealer service dept they told me handles had been already replaced before and refused to repair also they lied and told me there were no further recalls for my vehicle but when I googled there are actually around 10 recalls for my vehicle and Hyundai refuses to fix or even admit there is a recall. . My control arms need replacing also.

The airbag in my car is on permanently. I researched the problem and found that there was a recall for this. It is caused by a wiring problem with the driver side seatbelt buckle under the seat. I was told that my VIN is not included in the recall. I replaced the seatbelt buckle and within a month the airbag light was back on.

The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Tiburon. While driving various speeds, the air bag warning indicator illuminated continuously. The failure recurred on several occasions. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

The airbag light came on and stayed on. Seatbelts and airbags will not properly work or work at all when this light is on. Why shouldn't the 2004 model be included in the safety recall since all other Tiburon years except for 2004 were recalled?.

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.

Noticed air bag light was on in my son's car when I drove over the weekend. Looked online found out there was a recall on 2003-2008 tibruons in regards to air bag/drivers side seat belt buckle safety issue. Called Hyundai 1-800 to no avail took to columbia Hyundai dealer today. They stated was driver side belt buckle which was making air bag light come on and wanted $397 to repair. I told them is safety issue already $14 million lawsuit against Hyundai for same thing they told me to come get car. Called back Hyundai service just a few minutes ago. They refused any help.

This make and model has defective seatbelt sensors. These seatbelt sensors are wired into the airbag system and in the event of a seatbelt sensor shorting out, the air bag light comes on and the car's air bags are disabled. This is a very serious safety issue.

Air bag light came on intermittently several times before remaining on; seatbelt and buckle on driver's side replaced. Eight months later the same process occurred on the passenger side of the car.

Had air bag light fixed at dealership last year (2010). They said it was seat belt . Now it is back on again , less than a year later.

The air bag light will not shut off.

My Hyundai Tiburon 2003 is just over 60k miles and the airbag light is on. At the very beginning, it stays on longer than it should be. Several days later, the light is always on.

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.

Recall id# 4217 and id# 74501 for a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon deal with the drivers seat belt buckle wiring causing the air bag light to illuminate. My air bag light keeps on turning on, even after my local mechanic checked the air bag and reset the light and turned it off. I finally had a Hyundai dealership check into it and they found that it is caused by the problem described in these recalls, however my VIN does not fall into the category that these two recalls are for. This recall must be expanded to more 2003 Hyundai Tiburons as it is a known problem and I should not have to pay to have air bags that work correctly.

The seat belt wiring appears to be faulty which was suppose to be fixed in 2003 when I brought my car into the Hyundai dealership in bloomington, mn for this recall. The seat belt keeps dinging when im buckled up and driving, I noticed the air bag light also came on and hasn't come off since the seat belt dinging started. I can stop the dinging from the seat belt by moving the seat belt piece around which is located between my seat and center council. The manager at luther Hyundai referred me to the Hyundai consumer affairs and they made a report and conveyed that I should bring it back to the dealership. I spoke to the manager again at the dealership and he is saying that regardless hell have to charge me $119. 00 for a diagnostic fee. My VIN number is very close to the VIN numbers that are being recalled for this very same problem but Hyundai wont look at it without charging me. I'm getting conflicting information from Hyundai consumer affairs and manager at the Hyundai dealership. Ultimately, im concerned that if I am in a car accident and the air bag doesn't deploy it could cost me my life.

Having the same problem as most stated! seatbelt dings constantly when not buckled and air bag light on at all times. Found the recall. Took it to a dealership who said my car was not covered under the recall. If my car is having the recalled problem and is a 2003, and it is a consistent problem for others. . . It should be covered! I refuse to settle for anything less! because of this issue and Hyundai's lack of taking responsibility for their problem, I will never purchase a Hyundai again.

Clutch failed at 44,000 miles after buying car used. Service department would not fix , stated it was wear and tear. Cost $1500 to fix. Airbag light stays on, past 65,000 so service department wont fix it unless I pay for it. Hatch back latch wont work, $200 to fix that. Headlights burn out every other month. Brought car to service center because of a noise in the front of car. Said they couldnt hear anything. 2000 miles over my warrentee brought car back because it was getting worse, said it was front wheel assembly and would cost $1000 to fix. During cold weather emergency brake sticks took it in and they couldnt find anything wrong, go figure. Seats wont latch sometimes after letting someone out from the back. Is there a end to the problems that I have with this Hyundai.

My air bag light has currently been on for almost a year now at first if I wiggled the seat belt latch it would go off but now it stays on. When I contact the dealership they say that my car is not affected by the seatbelt recall. They want to charge me all this money for something that should be covered by the recall.

Since we purchased this vehicle new we have replaced the battery twice, the clutch, fly wheel, slave cylinder,three times, a coolant leak fixed, the window motor and it is currently at the repair shop. We also have had to replace all four tires and have the vehicle aligned. The air bag light is also on at this time. The thing that makes me angry is that a service technician has seen or vehicle twice and said our vehicle was fine. So, why did the clutch go out 10 days later?.

Dt: contact states during routine maintenance of his vehicle, it was determined the rear tires on the vehicle needed to be replaced. The consumer contacted the vehicle manufacturer; they told him to contact the tire manufacturer. Upon examination, the michelin dealership stated the rear end was out of align causing premature wear of the tires. The vehicle has not been back to the local dealership as of yet. The contact is going to call on Wednesday to set up an appointment. The air bag light came on and off. Dealer fixed; but the light came on again.

Air bag light comes on intermittently during vehicle operation. Brought vehicle to dealer without results. I am still fighting with them to look into this matter especially after reading all the complaints filed concerning air bag malfunctions. I am concerned for my safety and the safety of my family. Something must be done Hyundai must be held accountable for their negligence.

2004 Hyundai Tiburon was involved in an accident and the front passenger air bag deployed but the driver side air bag did not. The vehicle was damaged on the driver's side front and there was no damage on the passenger side. The manufacturer claimed that the air bag operated as designed. The vehicle was taken tot he dealer and repaired. The dealer did not replaced the driver's side air bag because they claimed nothing was wrong with it. The mechanic will not release the car because after all the replacements the airbag light will not go off. The consumer believes there is something wrong with the airbag system on this car.

My car turn on the air bag, all the time, I take to the dealer until the warranty was active, after the third year they said that this don't have no more warranty, the air bag light steel on all the time.

My Hyundai Tiburon was partially submerged in flood water Dec 26, 2003. The air bag light stays on but did, not deploy. At 10,000 mi I was told my warranty was canceled, eventhough I'm still the initial owner. There are several recalls on the vehicle. Since I still driving the vehicle, I need the recalls taken care of.
