2007 Hyundai SANTA FE Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1066820
Internal NHTSA #	10588913
Manufacurer	Hyundai Motor America
Brand	HYUNDAI
Model	SANTA FE
Model Year	2007
File date	14/05/14
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	5/14/14 31,509mi air bag light remained on after multiple ignition off-on cycles. Dealer followed directions in bul. 07-090-003. Code b1332 was shown but "not definitive". Code was erased and airbag light has remained off for 2 days. At the outset, dealer rep said there would be a 119$ charge for diagnostics (out of warranty). I objected strenuously because of the low mileage, airbag safety importance, and 2 previous unexplained airbag-related incidents (reported below). He also said that if the light came on again there would be a $900 cost for replacing the junction box (without mentioning erasing the code again as an option). Previous air bag issues: 4/22/13, 28,289mi, performed recall 105 update passenger airbag software; 3/26/12 25,606mi 103clockspringreplacement tsb#11-01-053 complete campaign does not apply(?) eventually the 119$ was waived after i strongly objected to any charges for safety related items, and particularly for those that have a demonstrated track record of problems. I strongly believe that hyundai and any manufacturer should stand airbag safety as a separate non-warranty issue. On the 2007 santa fe, which has had numerous complaints re airbags, i would expect hyundai to fix the problem once and for all and at no charge. As an electrical engineer, this sounds like a classic case of "buggy" software and/or hardware. They have simply dodged the issue and continue to do so, and their performance suggests they don't care for customers' safety or federal oversight of same.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
