| Description of the problem | The airbag light illuminated in my car shortly after purchasing it used. It was still under warranty and the dealer fixed it, saying something came unplugged under the seat. The light came on approximately a year later, when the car was no longer under warranty. I had to go to the dealer to have the problem diagnosed again and this time they said there was something wrong with a sensor in the door and they would have to take apart the door to fix it. From my understanding, the airbag light being on means that the airbags will not deploy in an accident. It is not acceptable for such an important component of the car to stop working because the driver moves his seat, etc. Every owner of a hyundai xg350 that i have met as the exact same problem. The light comes on and every time you take it in, it is for a different reason that is conveniently expensive to repair when your warranty is up. However if the car is under warranty, they say it is a seat issue and fix it quickly and make no concern of it. |
