2007 Hyundai Accent Air Bags

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON SO I TOOK IT TO LOCAL DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THE ISSUE WAS WITH MY DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO RUN MORE TESTS TO PIN POINT THE PROBLEM. OF COURSE THESE TEST WE'RE NOT FREE OF CHARGE SO I DECLINED THEM. THEY INFORMED ME THAT NEITHER AIRBAGS WOULD DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. HOW THIS ISSUE IS NOT COVERED BLOWS ME AWAY.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS IN AND WON'T GO OFF. I AM WORRIED THE SYSTEM WON'T WORK IN AN ACCIDENT & ALSO CONCERNED THAT THEIR HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS THAT HAVE INJURED OTHERS WHEN DEPLOYED

SAME PROBLEM AS OTHERS. "AIR BAG" WARNING STAYS LIGHTED NO MATTER WHAT. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT PEOPLE ARE DISCOVERING THAT IT'S THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR AND THAT THE REPAIR IS $1000. THEY HAVE RECALLED THIS SAME PART ON SONATAS (SAME YEAR) BUT NOT HE ACCENTS. WE'RE TOLD THAT NONE OF THE AIR BAGS WORK IF THIS LIGHT IS ON. PLEASE HELP!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 HYUNDAI ACCENT. WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. THE DRIVER WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE AIR BAGS EMITTED SHRAPNEL, BUT THERE WAS NO TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED CHEMICAL BURN INJURIES AND MINOR CUTS/ABRASIONS FROM THE METAL FRAGMENTS FROM THE AIR BAG. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS RECEIVED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO AN UNKNOWN LOCATION. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE CRASH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE CRASH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS CAME ON IN MY CAR. DONT KNOW WHICH AIRBAGS IT IS.

RECEIVED ERROR CODE B1448. WHICH IS DEFECTIVE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR. OTHER HYUNDAI CARS IN THIS YEAR WITH THIS SAME CODE HAVE BEEN RECALLED. WHY NOT THE ACCENT. BECAUSE OF THIS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT WORK. REPAIR FOR THIS SENSOR IS ALMOST $1000.

AIR BAG LIGTH WARNING CAME ON..

AIRBAG ERROR LIGHT CAME UP SUDDENLY AT ABOUT 125K MILES AND STAYS. THE CODE READ IS B1448 - THE MALFUNCTION OF PASSENGER OCCUPANCY SENSOR. THE REMEDY SUGGESTED WAS TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SEAT, WHICH WILL CAUSE EXPENSIVE $1000+. THIS MAKE/YEAR/MODEL SHOULD BE ON RECALL LIST AND HYUNDAI SHOULD FIX THE ISSUE FOR THE CUSTOMERS SINCE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE POPPED UP WITHOUT ANY FAULT ON CUSTOMERS PART.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON WITH CODE B1517, AND B1448. SHOP IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHETHER AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY OR NOT. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT IT?
