2006 Hyundai SANTA FE Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1469745
Internal NHTSA #	11097946
Manufacurer	Hyundai Motor America
Brand	HYUNDAI
Model	SANTA FE
Model Year	2006
File date	12/05/18
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Air bag warning light remained on after initial startup display. Code reader indicated b1511 code, short between driver side seat belt buckle and battery. Further evaluation demonstrated that seat belt warning light did not display at all, whether belt was buckled or unbuckled. Internet research suggests that this fault may prevent air bag from functioning in the event of an accident. To evaluate further, airbag warning light was reset to check for recurrence. Code recurred. It was noted that code could be prevented and seat belt warning light would display properly if the driver seat belt buckle was pressed downward and slightly toward the driver. This was consistent with observation that following a reset, air bag light recurred when vehicle turned left, causing driver to shift against buckle. Intermittent failure of seat belt light was observed while vehicle was parked and also moving slowly. Driver is unwilling to remove seat belt during highway driving to evaluate further. Hyundai motor america has denied responsibility for repair of this safety issue. Internet searches indicate that this is not an isolated occurrence, and further that there have been recalls on vehicles built on the same or similar platform.
