For no specific reason my 2003 Hyundai Sonata 4 cylinder base model's airbag light came on. I had to get the passenger airbag replaced at a cost of $900 at the dealer. No explanation was given by the dealer as to why the bag went bad.

My 2003 Hyundai Sonata's airbag light repeatedly comes on and off for no reason. While driving the light will spontaneously come on and will go back off either during the same driving event or in the next few days. It has never been in any accidents nor has the air bag assembly or seat been damaged.

I have a 2003 Sonata gls. The airbag light has been on and steady for about a year, now with the new state inspections in Massachusetts my car will not pass and I am an outside sales rep using my own car. I asked Hyundai about the problem and if there has been complaints or a recall and she said no. I am very frustrated with this problem, I owe more money than the car is worth and I cannot afford to fix the problem at this time. I have not been in an accident and I did not receive a car fax from the dealer so I don't know if it was in an accident prior to me buy it.

My 2003 Hyundai Sonata gls has a dash air bag light continually on. The local dealer said they have seen this problem before. The car has never been in an accident and has @ 70,000 miles. He said a diagnostic test would be needed to figure out why the light stays on and I would have to pay for this, I noticed similar complaints on the web site. Has Hyundai done anything about this problem?

Airbag light is always illuminated. On a side note, my wife was using the car in 2008 and the whole car ust shut down on her while she was driving, she could not start it and after a few tries it started again. It seems to be on or after a very wet/rainy day?

The contact owns a 2003 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the air bag indicator continuously illuminates. He took his vehicle to the dealer and stated that they should have installed a harness to correct the failure. Instead, they only reconnected some wiring and cleared the air bag indicator. The contact would have to pay for the repair because it was not covered under the warranty. After two to three weeks, the light illuminated again. The Hyundai manufacturer stated that they are reviewing the issue and will call the contact back. He has not yet received a return phone call. The failure mileage was 76,800.

In 2007, I had several problems with my airbag light repeatedly coming on. I was involved in a accident involving another vehicle and the airbag never deployed. When I took it into the shop they told me that there was wiring problems and at that time it was still covered under warranty. A few month later it came on again and this time I was told the sensor had to be reset. When I took it to the shop I was told that the complete motherboard circuit has failed and would need to be replaced with a new one, running almost $800.

Several issues with the vehicle, airbag has had several problems, never deployed when in accident, first issue was covered under warranty, said they had to rewire it, a few months later light come on again. This time they tell me the circuit motherboard has crashed, completely disabling the airbag. Second incident was with alternator, light continued coming on, dealership said nothing was wrong with car. Car eventually broke down in traffic, alternator had went out completely and it was only a few days after the warranty expired. I was forced to come out the pocket, now there are issues with the engine. The shaft position sensor has failed and my car broke down on the interstate. There have been several issues with my car, and I use it for transportation from school and work locally.

I am the one-owner of a 2003 Hyundai Sonata, 4 cyl., sedan. Two months after my warranty expired, the airbag light came on. I have yet to have it checked, but the vehicle has never been in an accident. I am hesitant to find out how much this indicator will cost to diagnose.
