2008 Hyundai Accent Air bags Problems

“I was driving down a busier street in town at about 35-40 miles an hour, with family in the car, when a lady in an SUV pulled out in front of me. The front of my vehicle crushed into her driver's tire area. My car was totaled and none of the airbags deployed. Thank goodness everyone had their seatbelts on, and everyone walked away from the accident.”

“At end of may 2016, my airbag light went on and stayed on. I took my 2008 Accent to the dealer on 6/2/16 and was told that the ocs mat may need to be replaced at a cost of $1400 to $1600. If I do not replace it, the airbags will not deploy in an accident because the airbag sensor system is disabled. This 2008 Accent should be recalled because this is a serious safety issue.”

“Red airbag light on the dashboard is on. I had the Hyundai dealership diagnose the problem, they told me that the air bag sensor pad in the front passenger seat went bad. They said the seat base would have to be replaced and that it would be $822.82 for parts + 1.5 hours labor for a total of: $985.00. It seems very odd that the passenger seat airbag sensor would go bad in my car because I hardly ever have a passenger.”

“The srs warning light came on, so we took the car to the dealership. They told us it would be $900 to repair the occupancy sensor on the passenger seat, since the vehicle is no longer under warranty. Without the repair, the passenger airbag will not deploy in the event of a collision. This must be due to a faulty part or poor installation, since our vehicle has not seen any recent accidents or unusual use.”

“I got into a collision in las vegas, nevada. I was driving my 2008 Hyundai Accent, I got hit head on and none of the airbags deployed. I was turning and going approximately 5 MPH the person who hit me was going 35 to 40 MPH. The speed limit on that particular street is 45 MPH. My car is a total loss and luckily no one got hurt.”
