Airbag light in dash is lit. SRS has not been recalled" could it be the driver seat sensor does not detect a driver in the seat" this vehicle has had passenger seat sensor recalled and corrected. Thanks
Airbag light stays illuminated in will not go off. Literally drove an hour and a half away from home on a regular driving road. Notice the airbag light was on but the airbags have never been used in the car at all.

There was a recall on the OCS sensor which was fixed by Hyundai couple of years ago. Now this problem has again appeared which Hyundai usa does not want to take care of. This is a safety issue and a manufacturing defect and should be taken care of by Hyundai usa
My airbag light has been on for some time now. The passenger airbag light does not even turn on when a passenger sits on the front seat. I have never had an accident so I'm not sure why the light is constantly on.
There is a recall #083 (08V161000) that is exactly my issue. The airbag light stays on and it was diagnosed as the passenger seat sensor that is causing the issue. The cost of repair is $1500. Spoke with Hyundai and they advised that my car was not marked for recall. We have spoken with a number of junk yards thinking we could obtain a used seat to correct this issue. We have been advised that this issue is wide spread and they cannot keep seats in stock due to the seat sensor issue. I cannot pass my state inspection without this fix. I find it difficult to understand that my car is not covered by this recall. Please register this complaint and let me know if I have any other recourse.

Vehicle was taken to Hyundai because the airbag light was illuminated, and the passenger seat belt reminder light would blink when no one was in the seat. After a diagnostic test, the dealership advised this was due to a faulty airbag sensor in the passenger seat, that was part of the actual seat. The replacement seat cushion was going to cost upwards of $1200, with the installed price of over $1500! after looking at the NHTSA complaints, I saw I am not the only one who has had this problem. A quick google search also showed a plethora of other complaints in regards to this issue. There is obviously a major issue with the sensors/airbag/seat belt system in these vehicles, and I am hoping a recall will be issued. Hyundai could not tell me if this issue would affect my airbag system or not. Thank you.
Had airbag light stay on and got seatbelt buckle replaced under recall. Now one month later airbag light is on and I'm told it is bad sensors inside the seat. These cars have poor engineering. We can't even rely on airbags, since they won't work when the light is on for bad sensors.
Im not paying Hyundai dealers $125 so they can tell me that my airbag light is not working but no recalls, this is not my problem should be under warranty, red airbag is on and not sure its my seat but the passenger seat light is on and off, different readings on by my seat, I have a 175000 miles and need to put on another 175000 if I can. I guess when the passenger is not in the seat all the time, why should it go bad.
(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)
Airbag light is on all the time, passenger air bag light is off even when nobody is sitting in the seat. Code B 1448 OCS occupant classification system mat defect. Concerned about driving the car with airbag issues, understood that Hyundai extended the warranty on my 2007 Hyundai Sonata. It occurred 2 months ago, light just appeared.
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.
