Description of the problem	Thankfully, my situation doesn't yet include any type of accident. My airbag light came on around august, 2014. I purchased the car used in january of that same year from a hyundai dealership. It was only 3 years old, so i didn't think the indicator light was anything serious, maybe just a sensor. I serviced the car on sept. 17, 2014 for a different problem, and the tech noted the airbag light was on. I declined to do repairs or diagnostics because i had just paid several hundred dollars that day. When i serviced the car september, the following year (sep 17, 2015) i requested they check the airbag. They kept the car overnight, unable to establish the source of the problem -- in fact they had to consult a hyundai expert out-of-house. Eventually they told me the whole driver side airbag assembly needed replacement - $1,100. The paperwork lists "airbag b1102 bat voltage low, b1346 resistance too high, needs new air bag assy." my concern is that a car only 3 years old needs a new air bag. Until i'm able to afford a new one, mine still doesn't work. Given the other electrical issues in the car, i have to wonder if other hyundai owners have had similar problems. I hope this information is helpful, and perhaps prevents serious injury due to faulty air bag assembly units.
