The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Azera. When the vehicle was started, the air bag indicator illuminated and remained lit. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the seat belt tension sensor wiring needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to bob stallings Hyundai (214-694-2700, located at 39444 lyndon B johnson fwy, dallas, tx 75232) where it was stated that there was no recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 72,500.
The airbag light came on in my car. I took it into the phil long Hyundai dealership in Colorado springs and was told that the passenger occupant detection sensor in the front passenger seat was malfunctioning and needed to be replaced. At first the service representative was very confident that Hyundai would pay for the replacement, but after a phone call he was told that they would not because my vehicle had over 100,000 miles and I was not the original owner. (however, I do believe that this is a defective part because the same thing happened to my sister's Hyundai.) the mileage on the car was 117,108 when I had the issue diagnosed.
08 Azera: Air bag light comes on along with passenger seatbelt warning. First would occur intermittently 2 yrs ago but for more than a week the airbag light would stays on (even when a passenger is seated or not). Had dealer look at it (when it was on) & they indicated it is the passenger seat belt / wiring harness issue they've been replacing under a recall. Indicated the car's VIN didn't appear in recall but service rep. Said it appears to be the exact same issue. Had replaced. Now it is occurring again. Requesting Hyundai corporate review and approve repair at no charge. Concerned for our safety.
I purchased my Hyundai Azera 2008N used 2 years ago and have had minor issues with it. The heated seats cannot be turned off, the air bags do not work on the passenger side, brakes had a recall, and now gaskets are blown on the engine. I have spoke with the dealership and because its a whole new crew, the old crew was let go, they do not want to help with getting another car for me. Tony, the salesperson, . did try by passing me on to another dealership and they cannot help me. My car needs to be paid down some before any dealership will touch it.

Takata recall. The air bag light is on all the time. The tire TPMS light always comes on saying it failing. When driving the car is shifting funny, sometimes is jolts forward and sometimes it will not shift correctly. Car was also just stalling out at stop lights. It has not done that in a little while but it goes through spells where it will do it every time I come to a stop. I do not have an exact date when everything started.
Started having a problem with the vehicle when my wife rode with me and the "passenger airbag off" light flashed on and off. Eventually, it started to remain on the whole time with her in the seat. Now the passenger seat belt unfastened light flashes constantly with no one in the seat. I took it to my local Hyundai to diagnose the issue and it is reading a fault code B1489 indicating an issue with the passenger occupant detection system (pods). Since there are numerous other Hyundai model's dating back to the mid-2000's that have had recall's on the pods, I am wondering if my vehicle may use the same seat sensor's that the other model's use. I haven't received a straight answer to if when the pods is defective, will the passenger airbags not deploy, or will they deploy no matter what should the event be triggered.
The main air bag indicator light on the gauge cluster keeps coming on, as well as the passenger seatbelt occasionally light which occurs when someone has sat in the passenger seat, then exits. Once the seat is empty, the seatbelt light was supposed to be light off, but the air bag light on the main cluster remains lit. The only time the light goes off is when the car is restarted momentarily, but the airbag light is back on and always comes on until the engine is off. I drive a car in dangerous status every time and every day.
Air bag light on dash came on indicating the air bag would not work. My local Hyundai dealer ( colonial Hyundai in downingtown, pa) said the front passenger seat belt tension electrical sensor was defective and needed replacing. I paid them almost $500 to do that. The front passenger seat belt tension sensor wiring harness was the object of a previous recall on this car and was done. Since the electrical sensor is on the same wiring harness which was the object of a recall I contacted Hyundai America (800-633-5151) and asked them if they would cover the cost of replacing this electical sensor since it was on the same wiring harness that was the object of a previous recall. They assigned me a case # [xxx] and got back to me and said they would not cover this cost. Seems odd that they would cover repairing part of this electrical assembly but not the rest of it so I am appealing to NHTSA for some help here or clarification. Thanks for your attention to this matter, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'
Purchase 2008 Hyundai Azera ltd. On Dec. 29, 2008. Car has 45000 miles and has always been garaged under roof. Dash board developed a rectangular crack on top of the passenger air bag. Complained to Hyundai through braman motors and claim denied for being out of warrantee. I am afraid that the air bag malfunction and explode.
My mother pulled in my driveway to park. The car made a weird sound and then accelerated at a quick speed. She pressed on the brakes and had skid marks to prove it, but the car would not stop. She ran into the next door neighbor's brick house. This happened on an easter Sunday. My sister was in the front seat. My mother had abrasions from the seat belt and severe bruises to the chest from the air bag. My sister had bruising to her ribs and her leg was cut, which resulted in 5 stitches.
This accident happened in waco, Texas, mclennan county. Chevrolet pickup truck was traveling West on fm 308 on the inside lane. Azera was traveling North on fm 933 on the outside lane. The driver of the Chevrolet pickup truck was not wearing his corrective lenses according to his dl restriction (restriction a) and disregarded a stop sign and flashing red light at the intersection. Due to this, the Chevrolet pickup truck struck the Azera fd to rbq. This collision spun the Azera clockwise. The Azera left the roadway to the East and went into a ditch and received fd damage. The Azera came to rest facing South in the ditch. The Chevrolet pickup truck came to rest facing North on fm 933 on the inside lane. All air bags deployed in the Azera except the drivers seat and drivers side curtain. Driver received blunt force damage to his left shoulder. Surgery was preformed on March 12, 2014. Azera was towed to "big boys wrecker service, 415 S. robinson dr., waco, Texas 76706".
The "air bag" light remains on the driver's side dashboard. The Hyundai dealer says there is not a recall for this specific car for that problem. The repair station has told me twice that there is a recall in their system when they pull up the information. Since the dealer will not take ownership - it is costing us $463 to get fixed so the car will pass inspection.
I own a 2008 Hyundai Azera the airbag light came on the dashboard and stayed lit. I took it to the dealership and was told there was a defective side impact airbag sensor that needed to be replaced. I was given a 2009 Hyundai sonata loaner and was in an accident with that vehicle. The other vehicle T-boned my drivers side and caused over $11,000 in damage. The side impact airbags did not deploy. I suffered a deep gash to the back of the head requiring staples to close it--a sprained should, which I still do not have full range of motion and a softball size hemotoma on my left leg. I contacted Hyundai corporation in ca to file a claim. I followed all of their protocol, filled out their forms and supplied all documents requested--ie: Police report, estimate, photos, repair document from my '08 Azera and overnighted the package to them within their allotted time frame. It's been 8 weeks since the accident and I still do not have an answer from Hyundai as to why the airbags did not deploy.
