Takata recall 1)when the engine was in motion on a city street in a speed of 25 mph or lower whole body is shaking and vibrating like pulling up and down continuously. 2)in motion sometimes engine is doing some different kind of nice and it loses electronic stability control. 3) and my air bag light is always on. 4) overall my car is giving so less mileage than expected by you.
ESC/ABS lights came on while driving and was hard to control the car acceleration was hard and braking seemed to go down low enough to scare you. I made it home the lights went off but back on another doing the same thing happened where acceleration seemed to be dragging anf brakes felt low this is dangerous and now I do not drive it since these lights come on often. I had the car checked and dtc codes show multiple code for ABS, ESC, airbags all of which have been fixed but that did not help the ESC/ABS light still come and make braking/acceleration hard at times.
Brake light switch did not function correctly. It caused the brake lights to flash erratically. The brake light switch was replaced and the problem was resolved. The sevice air bag indicator light is on constantly.
As I was sitting in my driveway, the airbag light came on. It was going on and off then staying off while driving. It is now steadily on. Also, suddenly the passenger side seat belt unbuckle light now flashes continuously, and only goes out of I buckle the seat belt or of someone sits on seat and buckles it. I entered the VIN on Hyundai website and they verify no open recalls. This issue initially started at idle in my driveway shortly after start the car.

The airbzg light came on after my girfriend sat in the passenger seat.after leaving the vehicle the airbag light is staying on indicating a faulr in the airbag / OCS system. I had the codes pulled by independant mechanic and code B1448 showed indicating the seat mat sensor was defective. I went to Hyundai dealer in North hampton New Hampshire.the dealer said they would have to diagnose the issue for $125 and it costs about 1400 to replace the mat, many people online in forums have the same issue. They were able to have this repai done.its campaign 083. I was told to contact Hyundai corporate by service employee at the dealership. Hyundai continued to claim my VIN is not listed.this is not a recall but campaign.the campaign affects 2006 and newer Sonatas.the huyndai corporate employee said I csn have the car diagnosed and then they can submit a "request" to have corporate authorize the repair.which would cost significant money. Others online had no problem getting this repair done free as its a known issue with the Sonata. Failure of the seat mat and subsequent airbag malfunction light is very concerning to me cause I do not know if my airbag will functiin
The air bag light is constantly on. We have been given several reasons why, with repair costs from $250 to $800. There are a lot of Sonatas with this same problem. Have I missed a recall notice?
The contact owned a 2006 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle had veered to the right and lost control causing the vehicle to crash into a curb. The driver side air bag deployed violently. As a result, the driver sustained facial bruises and cuts that required medical attention. A police report was not filed. The insurance company indicated that the vehicle was towed to a yard and with extensive damages and deemed a total loss. A dealer had not inspected and diagnosed the vehicle. The contact was uncertain if the failure was related to NHTSA campaign number: 08V161000 (air bags). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was not available. Consumer stated electrical issued and dash warning lights were having issue and shift lock was acting up.
Airbag lights are constantly on, even after multiple repairs. Passenger seatbelt flickers on off when someone in the passenger seat. Looking on-line, there are several 2006 Sonata owners with the same issue. If truly the airbag does not work then the light is on, this is a huge safety risk. Enough on line to suggest this is an issue and should be recalled on-going.
Airbag light has been on for years. When I took it in they told me the driver seatbelt buckle sensor was bad. It would cost over $700 to fix. I think the sensor is bad.
The air bag light came back on a couple of months ago, again, informed by dealer that they would have to research it the next time I came in. The park lights will not always shut off when in the auto setting, so far have been able to get them to shut off by repeatedly turning light switch on and off. The ABS/ESC light comes on randomly and will usually go off after turning car off and restarting. Now, the trunk will not close and the trunk light is on continually and the lights will not light when hitting the door lock button on the fob, so I do not know if the vehicle is secure and safe to enter at night. These situations all occur either when parking or in the case of the ABS/ESC while driving or when the car is running and stationary.
This car is exhibiting the same behavior as other Sonata models from 2006 that have been recalled for the occupant classification system (OCS) in the right front seat. Thus with this issue, no air bag deployment could occur causing serious injury or death. I'm not sure why this particular VIN is not covered under a recall that spans all Hyundai Sonatas from 2006-2008. This has been brought to a dealership and was verified as the problem this car is exhibiting and this should be part of this recall. This is a major safety recall that should be covered and I would like more information as to why this would not be part of this recall, when the car is classified under the parameters of the recall and is exhibiting the signs of the problem the recall covers. This occurs whenever you turn on the vehicle and the sensor in the passenger seat malfunctions. Luckily, there has been no accident and thus no opportunity for the airbag to fail to deploy, but if it occurs, it will definitely lead to a hefty lawsuit.
The contact owns a 2006 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated and had remained lit as the failure progressed. The dealer northtowne auto group (6728 N oak trafficway, Kansas City, mo 64118, (816) 436-2255) diagnosed that the osc mat assembly needed to be replaced. The dealer and the manufacturer indicated that the vehicle was excluded from NHTSA campaign number: 08V161000 (air bags). The manufacturer provided no solution other than the dealer replacing the part. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
