| Description of the problem | Air bag light keeps coming on. First time was 7/26/08. Hyundai service tech's notes on the invoice indicate the side air bag and wiring harness was faulty. This work was covered under warranty. Light came on again maybe 6 months later, but went off a few days later. The light came on again 3/31/10. Hyundai tech notes indicate the wire to srs connection was repaired. Work was covered under warranty. The next time was late nov 2011. I took car to my local auto care for annual inspection. The car failed because the air bag light was on. According to the tech diagnosis, "drivers side air bag high resistance. Rr electrical connector and apply stabilant - 22a to connector for terminal adhesion. If code returns in future, vehicle will need entire air bag harness." light came on again sometime in late 2012. I took it to my local auto care for annual inspection in dec. 2012. It failed because of the air bag light. In january 2013, i took the car to a different hyundai service dept. For "2nd opinion". Their diagnosis: "drivers seatback occupancy sensor shorted/part only comes w/seat, est. To replace drivers seatback-$1,749. 00." i took the car back to my original hyundai svc dept with this information and they did another fix so i could pass inspection. The light came on again in september 2013, they determined the seat back was needed and it would cost $ 2,100. I got the repair done on 2/14/14 for $2,161. 56. The light came back on again 2 weeks ago. I have an appointment with the hyundai svc dept on 4/22/14. I contacted hyundai motors customer service to find out if they would refund the money i paid, clearly there's a defect which should have been discovered and repaired the very first time i took my car in about this issue. I was told only if there is a recall or rebate. I' m not the only person with this problem so i believe a recall should be ordered. *tt |
