| Description of the problem | Air bag warning light malfunction. The alarm has been reset with no reported code problems, but the air bag light will immediate fault when car is driven again. Thus when the light is on, the air bags will not work. Internet research indicates this failure happens to hyundai tiburon's of the same year as my car. Hyundai headquarters and local dealer were called and indicated there was a tsb for this problem, but it did not apply to my car and they will not issue a safety recall or investigate further. They would not provide specific details other than there are some air bag electrical system wiring/sensor problems with other cars in my model year range, but again my car does not have this problem... |
