2 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/30/2020

The esc light goes on and off when I am driving. In addition, the safety seat belt light is on. I feel these are tied to teh recall on this made and model, however, when the dealer runs my VIN, it is not on the list. I feel this is in error especially when I read the safety recall info on recall #13v113000, 09v122000, and 11v472000. I am not sure why my vehicle is not on the list when the VIN is run against the database since the description and symptoms are described in these known recalls. How do I get my VIN properly included in these recalls. The dealer refuses to work on it as part of the recall unless it is in the database. These are safety issues.

3 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/13/2019

Vehicle alternator went, something in driveshaft broke, causing vehicle to go right on its own into telephone pole, sir bags didn't deploy. Recalls are out on these issues but no one has covered vehicle loss and loan.

4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2015

Esc light comes on and off. This is repetitive problem. It looks like Hyundai has no idea how to fix. . If you google Veracruz esc light, you will see tons of posts complaining about this. . Air-bag sign is on intermittently after the recall. Hyundai refuses to repair because when they take the car into the garage, the light is off(unable to read the code).

5 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/30/2014

My airbag and esc lights went off and I took the car to dealership. They are saying that both the control modules (abs, airbag) need to be replaced and the parts alone cost around $2600. The car is out of warranty because of 5 year period (bought in sept 2008) even though the mileage is less than 60k. There were multiple recalls on this vehicle and it seems like these modules should not be failing for 50k miles. I have heard multiple people complaining about the issue and I think Hyundai should get the control modules replaced.

6 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2013

Passenger airbag is slowly expanding causing damage to interior of vehicle. Passenger airbag is now nonfunctional and Hyundai doesn't care about the safety aspect of it. I've been several dealerships and spoke with customer relations regarding problem and nobody seems to care.
