| Description of the problem | My vehicle lights for the ecs system, seat belt and airbag keeps illuminating. I took it to hyundai here in jacksonville and was told that a diagnostic for $94, would need to be done to see why the esc light is on. The air bag light will go off when the seat cushion is recalibrated but, something is wrong with my seat belts(both), so it will stay on and therefore the air bags will not deploy on impact, i pray that i don't get into any accidents till i find out what the problem is. Why aren't the seats belts part of the recall for the airbag system? They work inconjunction with each other. The esc was suppose to have been fixed in 09 but here it is 2014 and the same thing is happening again, the same problem as before. I have to pull over turn the car off and wait a minute to restart it only to have the light come on again once i start to drive. What is wrong with this car, it is suppose to be safe. |
