2004 Hyundai Santa Fe - Airbag light kept coming on - Had it to the dealer 4 times before the problem was diagnosed as fault wiring. Dealer got the light to go out, but told me if the light comes back on, they will need to replace the entire passenger side airbag. Cannot tell me whether the airbag will deploy in an accident or not, and said that Hyundai will not tell them. Today, the vehicle is in to have a bulb replaced behind the heater control.

Was told it is not a bulb after all but, once again, faulty wiring. This vehicle has had every recommended service since the day it was purchased. Faulty wiring should not be an issue. This sounds to me like a factory problem that should not be my problem. I see there are many other people who have had these same problems. Why is something not being done to help the consumer?

Passenger Air Bag senor failure. Air bag light would come on when the passenger would shift their weight in the seat. notified the dealer. Took car in, no problem notice. Problem still present. Took in second time, no problem found. Probelem still present. Third time returned to dealer, factory rep was there, found problem, said could not be fixed. No attemp was made to fix.

I was offered that I purchase another car model, they picked out. I would have to pay the difference of sticker price or they would buy my car back with a charge on mileage used. Mileage I put on the car while driving an unsafe car waiting on a solution. They referred to the Lemon Law which they used to save money on a major problem.

I own a 2006 Hyundai Elantra which I was in a car accient. I was hit on the driver's door. The door came in about a foot, and the driver side side airbag failed to deploy. Hyundai is saying that it work like it was supposed. Which I do not understand. I have like 50 pictures which show that the driver side door and the passager door pushed into the car about a foot. Even the roof it pushed in. The pillar which houses the side impact sensor is clearly struck and pushed into the driver seat. If you need the pictures or would like them let me know.Thanks

I had 2 crack ribs, bruise lung, and a grade 2 cut on my spleen. I was in the ICU for 2 days and then moved to a regular room for 2 days.

I own a 2004 Hyundai Elantra. While making a left turn from a stop, my car was hit on the driver's side; the driver's door was the center of impact. The driver's side airbag did not deploy, yet the car was totaled.

The driver suffered a concussion and traumatic cataracts in both eyes; he has had two operations, and it looks like at least one more is to follow. I wrote to Hyundai, they sent an inspector to inspect the car. The conclusion was the airbag operated according to its design. So I guess what Hyundai is saying is that the airbag was designed to never deploy. I mean, the car was totaled by an impact directly to the driver's door. What they are getting away with is criminal!! My insurance shouldn't have to cover the medical expenses, Hyundai should!
