Warning Light On problems of the 2004 Hyundai XG350

My airbag warning light comes on and will not go out. I took my car to capitol heights Hyundai dealer in maryland and was told that my passenger airbag did not have suspension. The cost to repair this will be $3400. 00. I believe that this should be a recall on the airbag on the passenger side. Was also told that there is a part to the airbag that is a recall but of course my code did not fall within this repair. There must be a better way to handle this.

Chronic problem. Air bag warning light continuously illuminated after starting engine. Dealer cleared fault and attempted to fix issue multiple (7+) times, but never achieved a permanent resolution. Each time it was reported to have been "resolved" by manipulation of connectors, rerouting of cables and/or replacing wiring harnesses. Issue has been a chronic recurring problem for the entire life of the vehicle, and never been more than temporarily suppressed. Dealer diagnosis presently is that a 3rd wiring harness now needs replacement, but Hyundai motors is disallowing the work as not being covered by the in-force extended bumper-to-bumper warranty. This should have been previously fixed once and for all, and not dragged out by applying ineffective band-aid fixes until such time than they disavow further responsibility for the problem that they never truly fixed to begin with. Briefly researching the subject, I find it remarkable at the volume of consumers reporting the same or similar experiences. An intuitively obvious conclusion that this is an engineering design fault that Hyundai is well aware of, for which they have been incompetent or unwilling to properly implement a remediation post-sale. It is particularly unconscionable that they are ignoring their moral, if not legal, responsibility to provide protection for the vehicle occupants by initially delivering, and subsequently maintaining such a vital safety system.

Tl- the contact owns a 2004 Hyundai Xg350. The contact stated that the air bag warning light flashed and then stayed lit for several years as the failure progressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who reset the code several times, replaced the top portion of the drivers side seat and also indicated that there was an electrical short with the wiring associated with the air bags. The vehicle was taken to a second dealer who reset the code and the failure recurred. The contact indicated that after the repair the air bag warnig light stayed lit. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Dyd.
