| Description of the problem | Air bag light keeps coming on and off(every day , several times on a 30-45 mins drive ) on dashboard as i am driving on regular basis .. Seems like airbag won't deploy while light is on , and if there is an accident and light is on i think the driver airbag will not deploy . Hyundai dealers already know the issue and apparently is a bad electric connection on the seat belt click that needs to be replace ... They are willing to "diagnose it" for $125 .. But many people says the cost of repair is $490 . They wont acknowledge is a defect on the wiring and want people to pay for it . Is very scary driving knowing that my airbag may not deploy |
