| Description of the problem | Drivers side air bag light will not extinguish. Air bag light remains on. This web site has reported 97 complaints in regards to the air bag light. Http://www. Carcomplaints. Com/hyundai/sonata/2011/seat_belts_air_bags/air_bags. Shtml do not know if this is a takata airbag system or not. Either way this should be a recall due to safety concerns. Apparently with the light on in this model, the bags will not deploy in an accident. This is a huge safety concern especially since this is my 19 year old daughters car. This light remains on at all times, all conditions on all roads. Weather conditions have been very dry for a couple of weeks. Light come on 9/18/2016 |
