Airbag light will not turn off. I have taken the car to two dealerships and they have not been able to fix the problem. The OCS is defective. I have had the car for 10 years and no one ever sits in the passenger seat. I do put groceries on the seat at times. I believe the problem is the same as the tsb campaign that was put out for 2006 -2008 Sonata. The campaign number is 083. How can I find out if my 2009 Sonata was manufactured in 2008? when the vehicle was returned from the first dealer the seatbelt light was flashing.

The contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Sonata. While the vehicle was stationary, the driver's seat belt would not unlatch in a timely manner. It took the contact three minutes or more to get out of the driver's seat due to the faulty seat belt. A dealer and the manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Hyundai Sonata 2009 red warning light for passenger seal belt stays lit even if no ones setting there or only a purse, or no one setting ther. So I have to put seal belt into lock even when no one setting there. So I have to fasten seat belt all the time. When driving car all the time have to keep it fastened. Also window electric switch on driver side most times doesn't function properly. Then deal sold me it a few months ago. I opened door cover to see if it was a switch problem & there was 2/12 inches of dried dirt in bottom of door panel. Dealer large one in san antonio, tx, at used lot say it is normal. I seem to think it might have been flooded in water he say no way it normal. Sure jokes on me now purchased as is dummy me, in limbo in tx. Car paint is starting to chip as well with deep open scratches weird every wash seems to make it worse looking.

Air bag light on the display has come up and it won't go away. Took the vehicle to dealer and I was told that there is spring in the steering wheel worth $450 need to be replaced. Also I have been asked to replace passenger seat belt buckle assembly costing more than $350, to correct the airbag light. I read that an investigation is going on for 2008 Hyundai Sonata for the mentioned seat belt buckle. Please conduct an investigation into the mentioned air bag issue to find out if this is a widespread issue with the model and get the manufacturer to bear the cost.
