| Description of the problem | Air bag light illuminated and will not go off. For a few weeks, anytime the drivers seat was adjusted, it would trigger the air bag light on the dash but once the seat was moved, it would go off. Now to the point, it will not shut off the air bag light. Similar thing happened last summer, took to dealer and had to pay to have system cleared as hyundai is the only one with the proper tool to "scrub the air bag memory". My concern, is will the air bags go off in the event of an accident? Why should i have to go back to the dealer to pay to have error cleared if no misuse on my end? It appears by reading this site that many hyundai owners have experienced similar issues so perhaps this is a recall? |
