OUR AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME. BACK IN OCT 2014, CAR HAD 119K MILES, WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER. THEY SAID THAT THE CAR WAS SALVAGE TITLE SO NOTHING COULD BE DONE (SALVAGE TITLE DUE TO HAIL DAMAGE). THEY SAID THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED. THEY CHARGED US FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND RECOMMENDED WE REPLACE THE RIGHT (PASSENGER) SEAT BELT RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY BUT WE DID NOT DO THIS. ALSO, THERE ARE 2 CRACKS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD THAT WERE THERE WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR. MY HUSBAND THOUGHT IT WAS PROBABLY SUN DAMAGE, BUT I HAVE SINCE SEEN IN THE NHTSA COMMENTS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE DUE TO AIRBAG BELOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI AZERA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SEAT BELT AND AIR BAG WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE NEW WIRING HARNESS CLIP WAS LOOSE AND NEEDED TO BE TIGHTENED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V007000 (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS) BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT NO ONE OVER 150 LBS SHOULD UTILIZE THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE SEAT LIMIT WAS 150 LBS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

AFTER THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATES. ISSUE SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO A RECALL FOR CAMPAIGN 094 WHICH WAS FIXED IN DEC 2014. MY REGULAR CAR SERVICE PROVIDER HAS DIAGNOSED AND CONFIRMED IT TO THE SAME ISSUE AND SAYS THE RECALL IS NOT PROPERLY FIXED BUT THE HYUNDAI DEALER DOES NOT AGREE. HOW CAN ONE CONFIRM IF RECALL WAS PROPERLY FIXED OR NOT. AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT INDICATOR CAME ON AFTER FEW MONTHS OF FIXING THE RECALL. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT TO BE SOME COMPUTER CODES ISSUE AND GOT THE CODES CLEARED BUT IT CAME BACK AFTER A MONTH AGAIN. CAMPAIGN 094 STATES "THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT BELT TENSION SENSOR MAY BECOME DAMAGED AFTER REPEATED USE OF THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT BELT. IF THE WIRING IS DAMAGED, THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE VEHICLES FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN FEBRUARY 22, 2010. THE HYUNDAI RECALL NUMBER IS 094." I DON'T REMEBER THE EXACT DATE OF WHEN THIS HAPPENED SO I AM PUTTING A DUMMY DATE OF 01/01/2016

ALL KINDS OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS LEAST OF WHICH IS THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER QUIT WORKING. THE POWERED PASSENGER SEAT CAN NOT BE MOVED ANY DIRECTION. AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AFTER HITTING A FAIRLY SMALL POTHOLE. AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON FOR A FEW DAYS/WEEKS THEN GOES OFF.PASSENGER SEATBELT INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON SOMETIMES WHILE PASSENGER IS WEARING SEATBELT SOMETIMES THE SAME LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON THEN GOES OFF WITH NO PASSENGER AND NO WEIGHT IN THE SEAT. I HAVE PERSONALLY PAID FOR A NEW BATTERY AND TWO STARTERS WHICH MORE THAN LIKELY DIDN'T NEED REPLACED BECAUSE MY CAR STILL WON'T START AT RANDOM TIMES. I FIRST EXPERIENCED IT NOT STARTING AROUND 79,000 MILES I COULD TELL IT WASN'T THE BATTERY CAUSE I TRIED JUMP STARTING IT AND ALL THE WHILE THE DOOR CHIME LIGHTS AND RADIO ALL WORKED FINE. SO I REPLACED THE STARTER ONLY TO HAVE IT NOT START THE VERY NEXT DAY. ANYWAY A WIRE WAS REPLACED TO THE STARTER AND ALL WAS FINE FOR ABOUT 10,000 MILES AND THE SAME NON STARTING ISSUES OCCURRED AGAIN AND AGAIN. SEEMS LIKE I JUST KEEP TRYING TO START IT AND MAYBE THE 8TH OR 25TH TIME IT STARTS..

I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, BUT THEY WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG.

THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED SOMETIME DURING THE SUMMER OF 2013. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANT - IT WASN'T FLASHING, IT DIDN'T SAY WARNING, IT JUST SAID "AIR BAG" - SO I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I FINALLY CALLED THE DEALER, LITHIA HYUNDAI OF RENO, TO FIND OUT WHAT IT MEANT, AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. THEY CHARGED ME $120 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS, THEY SAID THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BOTTOM CUSHION WAS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE AIR BAG. THEY OFFERED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM FOR $5051.87. APPARENTLY, THEY HAD SEEN THE PROBLEM BEFORE, BECAUSE THE SERVICE TECH SAID "THIS IS WHERE I USUALLY LOSE PEOPLE" WHEN HE SHOWED ME THE ESTIMATE. THIS IS FOR A CAR THAT, ACCORDING TO EDMONDS, IS WORTH $6500. FROM OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE I HAVE FOUND REPAIR ESTIMATES RANGING FROM FREE UP TO $3000. APPARENTLY, HYUNDAI SEES THIS PROBLEM AS A POTENTIAL PROFIT CENTER. WHEN I GOT ON THIS WEB SITE TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT, I FOUND OUT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE AIR BAGS FOR THE 2007 AZERA. ALSO, THERE WAS A RECALL NOTED FOR REPAIRING THE AIR BAG/SEAT BELT PROBLEM ON MY MODEL AZERA; I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL. *TR

WE HAVE A CRACK ON OUR DASH BOARD THAT HAS INCREASED AROUND THE AIR BAG ENCLOSURE. VERY CONCERN THIS WILL POP OUT WITH NO WARNING. *TR

CRACKS STARTED DEVELOP CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OVER THE AIRBAG. CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER, WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR, UNIVERSAL NISSAN AND HYUNDAI THEY DID NOT HAVE AN KNOWLEDGE REGARDING CRACKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD OVER THE AIRBAG. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I CALL HYUNDAI, I DID. I GOT THE SAME ROUND A ROUND, THEY GAVE ME CASE # 5235732. I'VE SEEN ON THE INTERNET MANY MORE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEIR EMAILS FROM MECHANICS AND HYUNDAI PERSONNEL ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE WITH THE CRACK OVER THE AIRBAG AND THAT DID HAVE THEIR DASHBOARDS EXCHANGED. IF EVER I HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY AND SOMEONE IS INJURED OR DIES SOME ONE WILL ANSWER FOR IT. *TR

I HAVE A CRACK, OUT LINING THE FRONT AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH . IT IS GETTING BIGGER. MY DEALER SAYS THAT IT WON'T EMPLOY ON USE, BUT I DON'T FEEL SAFE. THEY SAID THAT TO FIX IT RIGHT IT WILL NEED TO HAVE A NEW AIRBAG PUT IN BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO DISENGAGE THE ONE THAT IS IN THERE. THAT WILL COST US BETWEEN $600.00 AND $700.00. I FEEL THAT, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUED AND SHOULD BE THE MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBILITY . I HAVE GOTTEN ON LINE AND HAVE SEE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. MAYBE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS MATTER. I DO NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY TO GET THIS REPAIRED. COULD YOU GRANTEE ME THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE THIS WAS. *TR

AIRBAG COVERING HAS CRACKED ON EITHER SIDE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIRBAG MODULE. THIS FIRST OCCURRED BACK IN 2009 AND WAS TOLD BY 2 HYUNDAI DEALERS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2006-2009 AZERAS. IN READING SEVERAL HYUNDAI AZERA FORUMS (EDMUNDS, HYUNDAI-FORUMS, ETC), IT IS VERY CLEAR TO ME THAT THIS IS INDEED A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. AS THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AT THAT TIME, MY NEAREST DEALER OFFERED TO REPAIR IT FOR $2000.00+. HOWEVER, AS I FEEL IF THE PROBLEM IS SO COMMON, THAN PERHAPS A NHTSA INVESTIGATION IS WARRANTED WITH THE HOPEFUL EXPECTATION THAT HYUNDAI WILL ISSUE A RECALL AND/OR COVER THE COSTS TO REPAIR. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY IF AND WHEN NEEDED. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

MY VEHICLE WAS STRUCK WHILE STANDING STILL WAITING FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL TO TURN GREEN. THE OTHER VEHICLE WHICH STRUCK MY VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING POSSIBLY 20 - 25 MILES PER HOUR. DAMAGE ALMOST TOTALED MY CAR. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING, ALONE IN THE VEHICLE AND WAS INJURED BUT DID NOT REPORT IT AT THE TIME. SHE WAS INJURED BECAUSE THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. SHE WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT WHICH OPERATED CORRECTLY. AT THE TIME, BECAUSE OTHER CARS AND EXCITEMENT, NO ONE PAID ATTENTION OR REPORTED THE FACT THAT THE FRONT SEAT AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. NOW, FOUR YEARS LATE, A RED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS LIGHTED ALONG WITH ANOTHER FAULTY SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT FOR PASSENGER SIDE. THE HYUNDAI PEOPLE DENY ANY PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG. I BELIEVE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM TO BE DEFECTIVE. I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED OF A RECALL. *TR

I NOTICED TWO CRACKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF DASHBOARD. THEY FOLLOW THE OUTLINE OF THE AIRBAG. I AM CONCERNED THAT THEY MAY INTERFERE WITH THE OPERATION OF THE AIRBAG IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS CONDITION IS COMMON TO AZERA OWNERS. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON CONTACTED THE DEALER SINCE A RECALL WAS ISSUED BEFORE BUT WAS TOLD RECALL HAS BEEN CLOSED THIS SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE RECALL SHOULD NOT CLOSE, ALSO THE POWER SEAT SWITCH ON DRIVERS SIDE WILL NOT RECLINE BACK SEAT ADJUSTS FORWARD AND NOW IS TOO FAR FORWARD INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *KB *TR

THESE HAVE BEEN REPLACED FOR SOME AND NOT OTHERS. IT APPEARS THAT IT IS UP TO THE LOCAL PEOPLE. I BROUGHT MY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS DESIGN TO THE DEALER BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, IT THEN CRACKED AND NOW THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO REPLACE IT. I HEAR THE REPLACED ONES CRACK TOO. I HAVE HEARD THAT THEY CAN INTERFER WITH THE AIR BAG. *TT

I PURCHASED A 2007 HYUNDAI AZERA ON 06/20/2007. RECEIVED A FORM LETTER NOTICE OF RECALL FROM HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA ON 3/11/2010. ESSENTIALLY, THE NOTICE SAID THAT IF THE "AIR BAG" WARNING LIGHT IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WILL ILLUMINATE TO INDICATE A PROBLEM EXISTS IN THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT AIR BAG SYSTEM...THAT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER AND TOOK CAR IN TO FIX THE AIR BAG SITUATION. AFTER SIX HOURS OF WAITING, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEALER DID NOT HAVE THE PART(S) NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR. I WAS TOLD TO CALL BACK IN TWO WEEKS TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER FIX ATTEMPT. I CALLED ON APRIL 8. THE SERVICE DEPT. TOLD ME THAT THE PART WAS NOT IN YET AND TO "CALL IN TEN DAYS OR SO." ON APRIL 20TH AND WAS TOLD THE PART(S) WERE ON "NATIONAL BACK ORDER." AT THIS POINT I ASKED FOR ANOTHER AZERA TO DRIVE WHOSE AIR BAG SYSTEM WORKS UNTIL THEY WERE ABLE TO FIX THE RECALL PROBLEM. (I DIDN'T WANT TO DRIVE WITH MY WIFE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND RUN THE RISK OF HER BEING INJURED OR KILLED IF MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.) THE DEALER'S RESPONSE TO MY REQUEST FOR A LOANER WAS DENIED. QUESTIONS: --IS THE DEALER (OR HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA) REQUIRED BY LAW TO PROVIDE FOR MY SAFETY WITH A LOANER CAR? --THE DESCRIPTION OF A "NATIONAL BACKORDER" SEEMS LIKE IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE MY 2007 AZERA CAN BE REPAIRED? IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HOLD HYUNDAI'S FEET TO THE FIRE TO SPEED THIS UP? --ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR ME GOING FORWARD? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND INTEREST. *TR

HYUNDAI ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM BUT DID NOT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS AT THE DEALERS. SO MY 2007 AZERA WAS GIVEN A PARTIAL FIX ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO AND FOR THE REST OF THE FIX I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE DEALER TO GET THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR IN STOCK. MEANWHILE THE AIR BAGS ARE DISABLED! I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW HYUNDAI WOULD ISSUE A RECALL NOTICE FOR A SAFETY ITEM BUT NOT EQUIP ITSELF WITH THE REQUIRED COMPONENTS FOR THE FIX! *TR
