This Problem Across All Years
AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON IN 2011 AND WAS TOLD ENTIRE SEAT HAD TO BE REMOVED TO STOP LIGHT. COULD NOT AFFORD THE COST. RETURNED TO DEALER AGAIN IN 2014 AS HAD READ CONNECTOR UNDER SEAT MIGHT BE DISCONNECTED WHICH COULD BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND DEALER FOUND THIS TO BE TRUE AND SECURED THE CONNECTED AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT; HOWEVER, WITHIN FEW WEEKS, LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND HAS REMAINED ON SINCE. I DID NOT ASK THE DEALER ABOUT IT AGAIN, KNOWING I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A MAJOR TAKE-OUT OF THE SEAT TO CORRECT. OVERALL, THE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE LIGHT CAME ON BEFORE MILEAGE WAS 51,131 AND MILEAGE IS CURRENTLY 83,486. I COVER THE LIGHT WITH ELECTRICAL TAPE AS IT DISTURBS ME THAT I CAN'T GET IT EASILY FIXED. I DOUBT IF THE AIRBAGS WORK BUT DON'T KNOW FOR SURE AND PROBABLY WON'T UNLESS I HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR A RECALL IS MADE FOR THE DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND IS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. HYUNDAI DEALER CANNOT CONFIRM THAT THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT OR COLLISION. I TALKED WITH HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS PERSON AND WAS TOLD THAT THE AIRBAG PROBABLY WILL NOT DEPLOY WITH THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON. I WAS TOLD BY HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS THAT THE AIRBAG SENSOR PART WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE OR FIX THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE REPLACE BY HYUNDAI DEALER OR HYUNDAI USA. HYUNDAI OF AMERICA CASE NUMBER 3753255. *TR

1) ON MARCH 25, 2005 I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT MY DOCTORS OFFICE AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE THE CAR ENGINE REVVED- UP AND THE CAR ACCELERATED. I WENT THROUGH THE PARKING SPACE ONTO A GRASSY AREA. I DO NOT REMEMBER HOW I GOT CONTROL OF THE CAR TO STOP IT. MY WIFE WAS LEAVING OUR DEVELOPMENT AND HAD TO CROSS A DUAL HIGHWAY. WHEN SHE GOT TO THE CENTER STRIP SHE HIT THE BRAKE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC IN THE OUTER LANE. SHE IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THE CAR HOME AND WOULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR AFTER THAT. ON APRIL 15, 2005 I WAS HEADING SOUTH ON ROUTE 41. WHEN I WAS ABOUT 100 FEET FROM A TRUCK THAT HAD STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, I STARTED TO GRADUALLY FEATHER THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN. WHEN I WAS APPROXIMATELY 10 FEET FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK AND ALMOST STOPPED, I APPLIED THE BRAKE TO STOP BUT THE ENGINE REVVED-UP AND THE CAR ACCELERATED INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK CAUSING A GREAT DEAL OF DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR. ALTHOUGH THE IMPACT WAS CONSIDERABLE, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND SHOULD HAVE. I AM NOW CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR IF A SATISFACTORY SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEMS CAN NOT BE FOUNDED FOR THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM AND NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAGS. THE CAR IS AT THE FORT MYERS HYUNDAI DEALER BEING REPAIRED AND INVESTIGATED. *NM
