Wiring Problems of Hyundai XG350

: the contact stated the air bag light illuminated frequently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who determined that there were air bag wiring problems underneath the driver side seat. The air bag wiring was disconnected when the seat was adjusted. The dealer readjusted the sensor, which did not remedy the problem. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who rerouted the air bag wires, but the problem persisted. Updated.

The airbag light came on 3 months after purchasing the vehicle. Dealer repaired, but it has occurred 6 times total since then. Dealer has replaced the wiring harnesses, front seat, and strapped the harness, but the light has come on again. Service rep informed me last time they had done all they could to fix the problem and that if the light was on the air bags would not work. The light is on again.

I have a 2005 Hyundai Xg350. Six months after the vehicle was purchased, the air bag light illuminated. There has been eight attempts to repair this vehicle. The dealer has replaced sensors, plugs, and wiring harness; however, the light continues to illuminate. I have all the repair invoices and diagnoses that were performed. The failure mileage was 11,000 and current mileage is about 48,000.

The air bag light stayed on after starting the car - all else seemed ok. I called the dealer and he said it was not important that a connector had probably just come loose and that the air bag would probably still work if needed. When I took it to the dealer he removed the driver's side seat and said he found a broken wire and repaired it - at a cost of about $56 - for a car that has a "bumper-to-bumper" warranty. It was suggested that we must have put something under the seat that caused the wire to break when the seat was moved - this seat automatically moves every time the car is started and stopped. About six months later the same thing happened again. This time it was the passenger's seat that had a broken wire under it. This seat is moved less frequently, but it is a power seat. As far as I know the only thing under that seat was a box of tissues. Again I was required to pay for the repair. I believe this to be a design defect in that anything that is allowed to get under the seat will cause this wire to be severed and prevent the side air bags from deploying. I have never had a car that had any problem with items under the seat. Also this design has a sort of "pan" or depression under each seat that traps any loose article left on the floor when the car is stopped and it slides under the seat. It never slides back out when accelerating. This seems to just make the problem worse. I do not believe that any normal item left on the floor of the car should cause this damage and debilitate the air bag system.
