The air bag warning light is on. I have had the dealer fix in the past but about 6 months later the light is on again. Can't seem to get the light to be permanently off.

When light is on, at least one of the airbags will no deploy.

My daughter was involved in a car accidnet, the car was totaled. The entire front of the vehicle was damaged, and the passenger back and damaged to both sides of the car. She was on an interstate where the speed limit was 70 mph. We are lucky that we did not lose her. I contacted Hyundai two days later to ask about the non-deflating airbags, they took my name, number, the number where the vehicle was taken and I was told that they would have someone go and inspect the vehicle. I purchased these vehicles for my daughters going off to college, most importantly because they talked up their safety features(all of the air bags) and that was my concern for them being so far away from home.

INitially I wanted them to inspect this vehicle, and figure out what was wrong so that this would not happened to anyone else. Instead I received a package that contained a book about air bag operation, which I already had one and a check list of items that I needed to send to them, none of which had anything to do with the fact that these airbags did not operate properly. What does my purchase agreement/bill of sale, repair/maintenance invoices/pictures, that I must take, and documents reflecting payments to my insurance company have to do with anything?

I contacted Hyundai, for the third time today 09/04/2008 and was given the run around, and told that there are no other cases at this time. She was looking them up and didn't see anything. So imagine how shocked I was to see (google) that I am not the only person who has had this problem. We also had clutch problem with two of the vehicles.
