2004 Hyundai Sonata Air Bags & Restraints Problems

Air Bag autolight is on.

THE AIR BAGS WARNING LIGHT HAS GONE ON AND IS ALWAYS ON AT JUST 117,780 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME THAT WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON THIS HAS DISABLED ALL MY CAR AIRBAGS. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE RED AIR BAG LIGHT. I ASKED MY PASSENGER TO READ ABOUT THIS IN MY USER MANUAL WHILE DRIVING.

I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT BEING ON AND A COWORKER HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH HERS. WITH THE LIGHT BEING ON IT PREVENTS ME FROM GETTING AN INSPECTION STICKER IN MY STATE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS AND THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS ON NEWER SONATAS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2004 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF HIS VEHICLE AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO ANY TIME TOWING LOT IN LEWISTON, MAINE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

10-01-2016 AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON,WHILE STATIONARY AND STAYED ON WHILE DRIVING.

TAKATA RECALL. AIR BAG LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. I AM TOLD THAT IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, IT WILL COST NEARLY 2300 DOLLARS SINCE THE PASSENGER SEAT MUST BE REPLACED

MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I WAS DRIVING, THE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF, UNTIL I TURN THE CAR OFF.

AIR BAG LIKE ON

MY FOOT SLIDE OFF THE BREAK, AND HIT MY VAN IN THE BACK BUMPER IN MY DRIVEWAY AND TWO WEEKS LATER MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND NEVER WENT OFF. AT MY HOME, NO REPORTS, OR DAMAGE OTHER THEM CUT ON MY BUMPER DUE TO THE HAUL ON THE VAN.

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED OUT INTERMITTENTLY FOR ABOUT 15 STARTS IT WAS OFF AND ON. THEN AROUND 03/11/2004 IT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 HYUNDAI SONATA AND AIR BAG LIGHT SUDDENLY WENT ON THEN OFF. THEN IT WENT BACK ON A FEW MINUTES LATER AND HAS BEEN ON FOR 2 YEARS NOW.

WE OWN A 2004 HYUNDAI SONATA (109,000 MILES) WE HAD A FRONT END COLLISION WITH SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. ME AND MY WIFE SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WE FOUND OUT ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE ARE FREQUENT COMPLAINTS IF THIS FAILURE AROUND THE NATION AND ALSO IN MANY HYUNDAI MODELS ACROSS MULTIPLE YEARS. WE ARE FILING THE COMPLAINT SINCE THE ERROR IS CRITICAL AND SEEMS TO BE SYSTEMIC IN HYUNDAI VEHICLES. WE DO NOT KNOW IF NHTSA HANDLES CARS THAT ARE OVER 100,000 MILES BUT WE FELT A COMPLAINT WAS WARRANTED SINCE THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE ERROR IS SO EXTREME. WE FEAR FOR OUR SAFETY WITH THIS VEHICLE NOW! BEING A DISABLED VETERAN, ON A FIXED INCOME, WE FIND IT DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT THAT HYUNDAI TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM. ITS NOT EASY FOR US TO REPLACE THE CAR. *JS

TAKATA RECALL. MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND CAN'T BE CLEARED.

MY WIFE SOMEHOW GOT HER FOOT CAUGHT IN HER SANDAL AND TRYING TO GET IT UNSTUCK HIT A CONCRETE LIGHT POLE. THE AIRBAG SHOT WHITE POWDER OUT ,LIGHT WENT ON TO SHOW AIR BAG WENT OFF BUT IT NEVER DEPLOYED. HAD IT BEEN A WORSE ACCIDENT FATAL INJURY COULD HAVE OCCURRED BECAUSE OF FAULTY AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING YET SHOWING IT DID BY ALL SYMPTOMS SUCH AS THE LIGHT, WHITE POWDER AND THE SEAT BELT CANNOT BE MOVED AND WILL NOT OPERATE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NO MATTER IF UNDER WARRANTY OR NOT. *TR

ALL OF SUDDEN THE AIR BAG ICON IS CONTINUOUSLY ON. ALL FUSES FOR AIR BAGS HAVE BEEN CHANGED AND PROBLEM STILL EXIST. THE COMPANY STATES THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO RECALL. BUT READING INTERNET BLOGS THERE APPEARS THAT THIS PROBLEM DOES OCCUR ON THIS MODEL WHEN IT REACHES THE 100,000 MILE LIMIT. WHAT IS MY RECOURSE TO HAVE THEM CORRECT THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT FINANCIAL PROBLEM. THANKS *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OUT. AFRAID TO CALL DEALER SINCE REPAIR COULD COST CLOSE TO $500.00. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED, CALLED THE DEALER TO ASK ABOUT A RECALL THEY SAID NONE WERE ISSUED, HOWEVER IT NEEDED TO GET LOOKED AT BECAUSE THERE COULD BE A DEFECT. AND THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE AIR BAGS COULD DEPLOY ON THEIR OWN AT ANY TIME OR NOT DEPLOY AT ALL IN AN ACCIDENT. THE COST TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM LOOKED AT WOULD BE AROUND $125.00 WHICH WOULD BE SUBTRACTED FROM THE COST OF THE REPAIR IF YOU CHOSE TO GET IT FIXED BY THE DEALER THE TOTAL COST COULD RUN AT LEAST $500.00 I WAS WONDERING IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON, AND HAS STAYED ON. LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN AN AIR BAG RECALL FOR THE 2003 SONATA. WE (ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS) ARE HOPING THAT ONE WILL BE ISSUED FOR THE 2004 MODEL, AS WELL. THANKS! *TR

MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IN MY CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER AT SOUTHTOWNE HYUNDAI IN RIVERDALE GEORGIA AND THEY DIDN'T CALL THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT MY CAR. MY CAR WAS HIT T-BONE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT HEAD LIGHT AND THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY.I ASKED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES TO CALL BECAUSE MY AIRBAG LIGHT SHOULD NOT COME ON BY ITSELF. THE DEALER JUST WANTED ME TO PAY OVER $500.00 TO GET IT REPAIRED. I WANTED TO KNOW AT ANYTIME WAS THE AIRBAG MODEL FOR MY CAR RECALLED AND HYUNDAI KEPT IT A SECRET.THIS IS THE SECOND HYUNDAI I HAVE PURCHASED. I CALLED MY CAR MY JAGUAR.
