2015 Hyundai Genesis Air bags Problems

“New 2015 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 v6, driven only 6407 miles in 11 months, showed airbag malfunction warning display. Car was in perfect condition and parked inside a covered car garage before going on vacation. After returning from the vacation, noticed the airbag warning light. Took the car to an authorized Hyundai dealer, who diagnosed and said the airbag deployment control electronic board has failed and needs immediate replacement. Hyundai dealer also advised me not to drive the car without the fix and provided a loner car and sent me home. …”

“The vehicle, a 2015 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 in relatively slow motion entering a parking lot, was involved in a passenger side impact accident on 10/6/15. The other car sustained frontal damage and was towed but the Genesis remained drivable. Four (4) days later, on 10/10/15, while in motion, the passenger side and curtain airbags spontaneously deployed.”

“Entering into a right turn lane the vehicle may have grazed a curb. Immediate explosion & both right side air bags blew causing minor injuries to passengers. The car is new, approx. 985 miles and the tires had been replaced that morning with michelins under a tire exchange program. There is no external body damage to the vehicle, however the rear axle appears to be bent. Why would air bags deploy by bumping a curb at low speed?”

“I have completed 2 of these recalls through factory Hyundai while stationed in South Korea for military service. I have the paperwork, and I'm trying to get the NHTSA to clear my vin of these two repairs in order to import my vehicle back to the US. Can you please help me?”

“The DAB module assembly (air bag system) driver's side has to be replaced due to failure. Only warning was a creaking sound from the steering column when turning. Although I have an extended warranty, never been in an accident, and the car is only 6 years old with 44,000 miles, the extended warranty for the air bags is only for 5 years. The cost to replace the DAB is over $900.00. I feel strongly that Hyundai should cover the cost.”
