“Takata recall my air bag light has been illuminated now for about 10 months. My car has very low mileage (56000). This is a very concerning to me,for it is a life and death problem.with all the complaints I'm wondering when Hyundai is going to recall these cars. What are they waiting for? This makes me think twice about buying another Hyundai.”
NHTSA complaint #10822762, filed 2016-01, 52,000 miles“The airbag warning light comes on and will not extinguish. The vehicle was purchased new. This happened under warranty and the dealership reset the light. It came on again after the warranty expired and the dealership charged me to reset the light. The light has been reset multiple times and is now illuminated and will not reset. I am afraid that the airbag will not properly work in an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #11113148, filed 2018-07, 3,000 miles“Air bag light has been on for over a year and a half. I have owned car since new.,problem has occurred on several occasions. Different Hyundai dealers described different causes for problem ,without making a lasting repair. Light continues to come on. My fear is that air bag will not deploy if needed.”
NHTSA complaint #10914291, filed 2016-10, 115,000 miles“The airbag light has stayed on for over 2 years. When a touch the brake pedal, a bulb illuminates. Therefore I am constantly having all of my lights, brake fluid, and brakes checked. Especially since before any of the above issues arose, I attempted to put on brakes and the car would not stop! I had to come to a rolling stop. I immediately had the car checked by severall mechanics. None of them could find anything wrong.”
NHTSA complaint #10863226, filed 2016-05, 68,764 miles“Due to the takata recall I'm concerned because my airbag light has been on for over a year. My car has been at the dealer & serviced so they are aware. I am waiting to hear from Hyundai about a recall. On how they plan to fix these safety issues. What is Hyundai doing about the air bags. My 84 year old mother was driving this car and I did not feel it was safe driving so I swapped cars. Now I'm driving a car knowing that fragments could explode in my face at any given moment.!!!!”
