The air bag light came on for the front passenger seat. I took it to Grayson Hyundai & they tried to get part #88840-3L500-J9 which is the latch right front buckle assembly. I was told there was no part available because my car is a 2006 & manufactures are only required to carry parts for 10 years. I was also told if the air bags worried me to trade cars. I would think the seat belt buckle for a safety feature like the air bag would have to always be available. I have owned this car since 2006, it only has 26,600 miles on it. It has always been garage kept & literally looks like a new one EXCEPT I have NO air bags. Also, today I was told part #88840-3L500-J9 is on a National Parts List, whatever that means. Surely this has happened to someone else. I just decided to report it.

How many people have to be injured before Hyundai figures out their non-airbag deployment issues" 57 complaints on NHTSA for the 2006 Azera air bags, and I was just in a hard side T-bone collision just in front of the driver's door that broke my collar bone, and not one air bag deployed. I was proceeding through a 4 way intersection when my light turned green, and a car to my left was accelerating through the red light. I bought the car brand new, and completed all issued recalls. When my air bag light kept coming on three years ago, I was finally told it was the driver side seat belt tension sensor, which was not covered by a recall, only the passenger side had the recall, so I spent over $600 to have it fixed, and the error light went out. I opened a case with Hyundai to inform them I was in a side impact accident and no air bags deployed. When they called to follow up, they did not seem interested in figuring out the problem, said I never brought the vehicle back for a follow up, and asked me what my agenda was" I had no agenda at the time, and was even looking to purchase a G90, but I guess now it is to let some Hyundai owners know their could be air bag problems.
I took my 2006 Azera to the dealership when I received a recall notice for a possible SRS malfunction (10V007000). After a year or so the SRS light came on intermittently but was mostly off. Starting this week (3/15/2019) the SRS light has stayed on and won't go off. Based on what I have read, this is a common problem for Azera owners. I believe a second recall is necessary since the first one did not solve the problem for very long.

I have an 06 Hyundai Azera and there was a recall made back in 2013 for the passenger seat wiring hireness. The defect would cause the airbag not to deploy. Would I be able to get this defect fixed now? I did not own the vehicle back in 2013, as I did not own it until may of 2015. It is showing the signs of the defect. The air bag light is on and it is throwing error codes B1489&B1495, which is for the passenger occuputant system. I also have this noise like something is loose in the suspension. Every little bump causes a rattling noise. I can not tell if it is the front or back, but I am assuming it is the back since there was a recall on this as well, plus I have replaced all front end parts. And the noise still exists.
Over past approximately 4 1/2 years, the airbag light has been on 7 or 8 times. Mileage ~136K, 151K 183K,191K & 203.6K. The seat belt pre tensioners and complete seat belts replaced 4-6 times and the airbag control module once. The driver's seatbelt pretensioner was successfully repaired ~August 8, 2016. A company agent inspected the functioning of the passenger air bag [OCS] August 26, 2013. Today 2-2-2017 the seatbelt light came on. My mechanic determined the code was B1382 side curtain airbag -high resistance. I have complete records of the maintenance and repair of this vehicle which I can supply upon request.

As a result, the vehicle skid across the intersection, crashed into a tree head on, and landed in a frozen retention pond. The seat belt was tithing across the contact's chest causing her to bleed. The contact required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent tow lot. The vehicle was destroyed. In addition, the air bags failed to deploy. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 71,400.
Airbag did not deplore until after the car fully stopped but the seat belt on the drivers side tighten continuously until I got a bleed injury inside my right breast the righting stopped only after I was abke to release it then afterwards the airbag deplored only in the drivers side no other airbags came out during this accident.
Air bag warning light(s) always on when no one is sitting in front passenger seat. Note: No accident has happened. This car was supposedly fixed under an earlier recall (Hyundai 094).
The contact owned a 2006 Hyundai Azera. While driving at 45 mph, an SUV pulling a trailer attempted to make a U-turn on a one way road. Another vehicle crashed into the trailer and caused the contact's vehicle to be struck by the trailer. The contact stated that the air bags deployed for the driver, but they failed to deploy on the passenger side. A police report was filed. The contact sustained injuries to the right hand from the thumb to the index finger and emergency surgery was performed. One of the occupants of the other vehicle perished as a result of the crash. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was deemed destroyed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
The air bag light in the instrument cluster lighted and from time to time was off but has been lighted since approximately 145,700 miles, about two years 3 months. In dealer and independent mechanics tests the code indicated that the seat belt sensor is malfunctioning and that the side impact air bag located in the right front seat back may be inoperative. This indicator light is currently lighted. Hyundai provided an examination of the front right airbag located in the right dash. It was indicated to be functional. In queries to Hyundai I have been told that the front airbag was repaired according to the recall requirement. Is the recall correction only valid for one correction?
The airbags on this car did not deploy after a narrowly avoided head on collision which resulted in driver side impact on the front engine side panel and driver door.the side curtains nor the airbags in the dash and steering column did not deploy resulting in belk did passengers coming in contact with steering column and dash of the knees and chest up both occupants.the impact at the front left tire was forceful enough to cause the tire to tuck up under itself indicating the side air curtains could have prevented contact with the side of the car in addition to the contact described with the chest and knees. Both occupants were transported by ambulance to the emergency room where they were evaluated.
A red light warning on air bags came on while traveling. When the problem was checked by a Hyundai dealer, they reported that the seat pods were shorted out and that the seat pods needed replacement at a cost of over $1,600. The car mileage was 53,000. The OCS system is not working. I contacted Hyundai about the problem and they sent a contract person to inspect the problem. He indicated that he thought that the air bag system was working, but could not explain why the warning light was on, nor would he comment about the dealers finding. I returned to the dealer and they confirmed that the OCS system was not working due to the seat pod malfunction. I contacted Hyundai again with their dealers finding and requested that Hyundai replace the part and I would pay the labor cost. They replied that their position that the OCS system was "operating according to design" and that they would not replace the seat pods. It is apparent that this another example of Hyundai"S air bag problems, but they refuse to acknowledge the problem or replace the faulty part. This is a serious safety problem for me and my family. I have kept all correspondence with Hyundai about the problem.
The airbag light has been on intermittently for ~2 years. Tests indicate that the right front side impact airbag located in the seat back may be defective. Hyundai is unwilling to repair this problem without charge.
