2007 Hyundai Sonata Air Bags

(XXXX) VIN NUMBER OF HYUNDAI SONATA 2007 . AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON .. TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP,THEY TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL..FOR THIS VIN NUMBER.,. PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

AIR BAG LIGHT IS CONTINUOUSLY ON AND CODE READER DOES NOT PICK UP AN ERROR CODE BUT AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK IF IN AN ACCIDENT. AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY ON FOR OVER A YEAR WITH NO ACCIDENT OR OTHER DAMAGE CAUSING THIS.

I HAVE AIRBAG SIGN ON ON MY CAR DASHBOARD. WHEN I CHECKED IT WITH CAR CODE READER, THE NUMBER I GOT IS B1448. BECAUSE OF THIS AIRBAG SIGN IF MY CAR WILL CRASH IN FUTURE, AIRBAG WILL NOT BE DEPLOYED.

AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATOR REMAINS LIT DUE TO MODULE CONTROLLING THE OCS SYSTEM ON PASSENGER SEAT, AIR BAG SYSTEM IS SEVERELY COMPENSATED. DEALER INDICATES $1200 REPAIR TO FIX PROBLEM. AIR BAG INDICATOR CAME ON WITH CAR IN A PARKED POSITION.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES WHEN CAR IS STARTED AND STAYS ON UNTIL THE IGNITION IS SWITCHED OFF. STAYS ON WHETHER THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. NOT HAVING AIR BAG ACTIVE IN THE EVENT OF NEED IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION. DO NOT KNOW CONDITION THAT IS CAUSING AIR BAG LIGHT TO STAY ON. OTHER SONATA MODEL YEARS HAVE A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM SO I THINK THE 2007 MODEL YEARS IS RELATED TO THE SAME PROBLEM BUT DEALER SAYS THIS AUTO IS NOT UNDER A RECALL FOR AIR BAG LIGHT.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND THE PASSENGER SEATBELT LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. I SEE THERE WAS A RECAL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED BUT I THINK IT WAS "FIXED ONCE" AND NOW IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN.

CALLED DEALER SAID NO RECALL-AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND IS DISABLED FOR PASSENGER. HAS NOT BEEN WORKING FOR 2 MONTHS. CONTINUES TO STAY LIT UP AND INDICATES IT IS DISABLED. NOTED PREVIOUS RECALL IN OTHER CARS. DEALER NOT WILLING TO REPLACE IN WILMINGTON, MA

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ("IDIOT LIGHT") REMAINS ON. FROM THE MOMENT THAT IT DID TURN ON, IT HAS REMAINED ON. I HAVE READ THAT PE14023 MAY APPLY? SURELY WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP THAT I CAN GET, THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ISLAND HYUNDAI IN STANTON ISLAND, NEW YORK WHERE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING REVEALED THAT THE OCS WAS FAULTY.

IT WAS DETERMINED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V161000 (AIR BAGS) WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,500.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME AND THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT LIGHT BLINKS WHETHER SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR NOT. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THE AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT NO LONGER WORKS, BUT HE COULDN'T TELL ME IF THE AIR BAG WOULD DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR BUT WHEN I CALLED HYUNDAI CORPORATE THEY COULDN'T FIND A RECALL. I THINK THE RECALL WAS CLOSED BUT IT NEEDS TO BE REOPENED AGAIN BECAUSE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THE AIR BAG SENSOR BY ITSELF COSTS ALMOST $1,100 NOT INCLUDING LABOR. A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD THAT AND THEREFORE WILL NOT GET IT FIXED. WHICH MEANS HYUNDAI IS GOING TO EVENTUALLY GET SUED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED BEFORE HYUNDAI DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? I'VE READ OVER AND OVER ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE WITH HYUNDAI'S. IT'S ALWAYS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR THAT MALFUNCTIONS. THANK YOU FOR ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO GET THE HYUNDAI PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALLED.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND IS NOT GOING OFF. WORRIED ABOUT AIR BAG SAFETY.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THREE DAYS AGO. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ON TEMPORARILY, BUT THEN I DID RESEARCH AND SAW THAT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE PASSENGER SENSOR GOING OUT I THINK AND SAW THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON IT.

PASSENGERS SIDE FRONT SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR WENT BAD. MADE AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON. TOOK CAR TO DEALER THEY SAID SENSOR WAS BAD AND WITH LIGHT ON AIRBAG WOULDN'T WORK. SO I HAD IT FIXED . 1800.00 AND A NEW NEW LATER IT'S FIXED. BUT HOW MANY PEOPLE OUT THEIR IS GOING TO SPEND 1800. ON A 2007. IF THAT'S NOT A SAFETY CONCERN I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. LOTS OF BAD AIRBAG SENSORS OUT THERE.
