2016 Hyundai Accent Air Bags & Restraints Problems

I got into an accident and my airbags did not go off... my face hit the steering wheel and my hand is broken because the airbags didn't deploy

The passenger seat airbag seat sensor does not work properly. The sensor wiring gets loose making the airbag system not work. It’s a common problem in this make and model. So I don’t understand why it hasn’t been recalled yet.

The airbag SRS light started to blink on and off and now stays on full time. I took the car to the dealership and they ran diagnostics and got code B1440 and B1774. They stated the entire passenger seat cushion must be replaced with the MAT sensor. This is a common problem per this website and there is no recall issued for some reason. Please investigate this issue as it was a common problem with earlier models 2006 through 2011 and later models are still having the same issue. This is a costly fix and it is suspicious that this sensor failed right after the warranty expired.

The car was rented by a Turo host with defectuous brakes and worn-out tires. During 3 weeks and 3400 Mi, forward disk brakes produced a thud of metallic grinding without effective braking at each brake. Forward tires were measured 2/32" and 'Replace Tire' marking were noticed on the treads. Rear tires were measured 3/32" and 'Replacement Tire Monitor' marking were noticed on the treads. A rear tire exploded on a straight line, between 55 and 60 Mph, the burst fortunately did not cause any swerve and the vehicle was able to be stopped on a few meters. During the journey, the driver's seat belt sometimes unlocks unexpectelly, even if initial locking has been checked by pulling on the buckle.

The car facing Air bag light ON few days ago. Mechanical Shop inspect the car the scan shows code B1490 ( PODA ( Passenger Occupant Detecting System) Sensor (Bladder) defect Contact the Hyundai Customer care to check if there is any extend warranty on the this part, they said NO, open case # 21683569

The airbag light in my vehicle has been randomly turning on and off sporadically, several times a month. When I had my local dealership check the codes, they reported that there were several passenger-side airbag related codes that were stored and that they didn't know why they were going off at all. They were able to observe the light turning off and on at random. There have been no other known issues with the car. This airbag issue occurs when I am driving, parked, with someone/something on the passenger seat, and without. The codes stored were the following: b1764, b1767, b1493, b1603, b1490. Dealer notes were: "cleared codes and tried to get them to reset and would not reset put 100lbs in pass seat and buckled it and went on test drive no codes pending no light on moved seat front and back no codes. unable to further diag"

The air bag warning light comes on frequently while I am driving and the passenger side air bag does not always turn off when there is not a passenger sitting in the passenger seat like it should. It is to the point where I am afraid to drive my car after spending a ridiculous amount of money on our family car. Please help us. Thank you in advance.

Since I’ve had this car, there has been an issue with the airbag light appearing on the dash and the light that illuminates the passenger airbag isn’t lit during this time. It seems to be caused by the use of the passenger door. Sometimes it works as it should and other times it doesn’t. Dealership won’t do anything about it because there is no code. So if someone sits in the seat, I won’t know if they are safe or not in an accident. This is a safety issue and should be fixed.

FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS THE AIR BAG SENSOR KEEPS COMING ON. MOST RECENT IS THE LAST FEW DAYS. IT'S STAYING ON, NOT GONE OFF. SECOND TIME IT CAME ON, EARLY 2019, I TOOK TO DEALER. THAT DAY IT HAD GONE OFF BUT THEY SAID THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND NOTHING WAS WRONG. YET AGAIN IT'S ON SINCE JULY 7TH. EVERY TIME WHEN STARTED THE VEHICLE, LIGHTS ON DASH CAME ON BUT AIRBAG LIGHT NEVER GOES OFF. I'VE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH IT ON FOR 3 DAYS..

FRIDAY JUNE 5,2020 I FAINTED BEHIND THE WHEEL AND REAR ENDED ANOTHER DRIVER AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHICH RESULTED IN AN SLIGHT HEAD INJURY

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON 3 DAYS AGO AND HASN'T TURNED BACK OFF. TODAY I TESTED MY SEATBELTS AND THEY DON'T LOCK LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO "UPON IMPACT". I CALLED MY LOCAL HYINDAI DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NO SAFETY RECALL AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT FOR PASSENGER SIDE IS ON AND WON'T GO OUT.THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET

ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10TH, 2019 THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT HAS STAYED ON WHILE DRIVING, EXCEPT FOR A SHORT TIME, ON NOVEMBER 14TH.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON CLUSTER.IT APPEARS AND DISAPEAR.SOMETIMES IT REMAINS STEADY.

AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND STAYING ON FOR DAYS AT A TIME AND DISAPPEARS FOR A FEW WEEKS OR SO..JUST RANDOMLY FOR MONTHS NOW

PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR MALFUNCTION. STARTED ON 21 JUNE 2019, I STARTED MY CAR AND NOTICED THE RED AIRBAG DASH LIGHT ON AND THE PASSENGER "AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT OUT. A FEW DAYS LATER, I STARTED MY CAR AND THE RED DASH LIGHT STAYED OFF AND THE "AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT WAS WORKING. IT WORKS OFF AND ON TILL THIS DAY; WEIGHT SOME TIMES INFLUENCES IT. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS UNRESPONSIVE AND THE DASH LIGHT IS ON. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED IT FOR $100 AND CONFIRMED IT WAS THE $1200 PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR.

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS RANDOMLY TURNS ON AND OFF READING THAT THERE IS NO PASSENGER WITH SOMEONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AND WILL COME ON EVEN WITH NO PASSENGER.

THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND PASSENGER CAN GET IN AND NOT BUCKLE AND LIGHT AND SOUND NEVER APPEAR WHEN CAR IS PARKED OR IN MOTION (ON HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS), AND NOW THE DOORS WON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH THE KEY FOB OR MANUALLY.

Dashboard light for passenger side airbag goes on/off randomly. Took to Coastal Hyundai 4/8/18 they verified code but found no problem. They just cleared the code. 7/15/21 same problem. Took to Wallace Hyundai in Stuart Fl. Was told passenger seat needs to be replaced for a couple thousand dollars but would check if corporate would pay a portion. Followed up but never heard back. I heard there was a recall on this but when I enter VIN it states no recall. This is a safety issue when I have passengers. The vehicle was still under warranty when I first had the problem and don't feel I should have to pay anything.
