CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH ESC OFF LIGHT SHOWING UP ON DASHBOARD. AT TIMES WHEN STARTING VEHICLE UP IN MORNING VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, I'VE PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND NO ACCELERATION. SUNROOF WINDOW, BACK DRIVER WINDOW AND HEATED FRONT SEATS HAVE STOPPED WORKING AND MY AIRBAG LIGHTS STAY ON ?
I PURCHASED MY 2007 AZERA IN JULY OF 2018 THEN OVER A MONTH LATER IN AUGUST OF 2018 MY PASSENGER WENT TO PUT HIS SEAT BELT ON IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF YELLOW LIGHT STAYED ON WHICH IS NOT SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN NOW THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME AND THE YELLOW PASSENGER LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE THE SEAT BELT IS ON.
RED AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE YELLOW PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT WHEN MY PASSENGER WENT TO PUT HIS SEAT BELT ON AND THE RED AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO GO ON WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS MOVED TO CONNECT DOESNT NEED TO BE CONNECTED FOR THIS TO HAPPEN THERE IS A RECALL BUT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL INTO THE MANUFACTURING DATE MY MANUFACTURING DATE IS 05/11/2007 .I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND THEY SAID ITS NOT ON RECALL .I BELIEVE IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS EXPERIENCING THIS SAFETY HAZARD PROBLEM .PLEASE HELP ME CANT AFFORD THE 1000 DOLLAR FIX BY THE DEALER.
AIR BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHEN A PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT OR NOT. BOTH STAY ON EVEN AFTER READING THE MANUAL TO RESET IT.COSEQUENTLY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS IMOBILIZZED AND WILL NOT PROTECT THE PASSENGER.
DASHBOARD HAS OUTLINE AIRBAG CRACK ON PASSENGER SIDE. DRIVER SEAT MOVES FORWARD, TILTS FORWARD, MOVES BACK WHILE DRIVING. *TR
OUR AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME. BACK IN OCT 2014, CAR HAD 119K MILES, WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER. THEY SAID THAT THE CAR WAS SALVAGE TITLE SO NOTHING COULD BE DONE (SALVAGE TITLE DUE TO HAIL DAMAGE). THEY SAID THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED. THEY CHARGED US FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND RECOMMENDED WE REPLACE THE RIGHT (PASSENGER) SEAT BELT RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY BUT WE DID NOT DO THIS. ALSO, THERE ARE 2 CRACKS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD THAT WERE THERE WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR. MY HUSBAND THOUGHT IT WAS PROBABLY SUN DAMAGE, BUT I HAVE SINCE SEEN IN THE NHTSA COMMENTS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE DUE TO AIRBAG BELOW.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI AZERA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SEAT BELT AND AIR BAG WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE NEW WIRING HARNESS CLIP WAS LOOSE AND NEEDED TO BE TIGHTENED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V007000 (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS) BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT NO ONE OVER 150 LBS SHOULD UTILIZE THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE SEAT LIMIT WAS 150 LBS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.
AFTER THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATES. ISSUE SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO A RECALL FOR CAMPAIGN 094 WHICH WAS FIXED IN DEC 2014. MY REGULAR CAR SERVICE PROVIDER HAS DIAGNOSED AND CONFIRMED IT TO THE SAME ISSUE AND SAYS THE RECALL IS NOT PROPERLY FIXED BUT THE HYUNDAI DEALER DOES NOT AGREE. HOW CAN ONE CONFIRM IF RECALL WAS PROPERLY FIXED OR NOT. AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT INDICATOR CAME ON AFTER FEW MONTHS OF FIXING THE RECALL. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT TO BE SOME COMPUTER CODES ISSUE AND GOT THE CODES CLEARED BUT IT CAME BACK AFTER A MONTH AGAIN. CAMPAIGN 094 STATES "THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT BELT TENSION SENSOR MAY BECOME DAMAGED AFTER REPEATED USE OF THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT BELT. IF THE WIRING IS DAMAGED, THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE VEHICLES FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN FEBRUARY 22, 2010. THE HYUNDAI RECALL NUMBER IS 094." I DON'T REMEBER THE EXACT DATE OF WHEN THIS HAPPENED SO I AM PUTTING A DUMMY DATE OF 01/01/2016

I HAVE PERSONALLY PAID FOR A NEW BATTERY AND TWO STARTERS WHICH MORE THAN LIKELY DIDN'T NEED REPLACED BECAUSE MY CAR STILL WON'T START AT RANDOM TIMES. I FIRST EXPERIENCED IT NOT STARTING AROUND 79,000 MILES I COULD TELL IT WASN'T THE BATTERY CAUSE I TRIED JUMP STARTING IT AND ALL THE WHILE THE DOOR CHIME LIGHTS AND RADIO ALL WORKED FINE. SO I REPLACED THE STARTER ONLY TO HAVE IT NOT START THE VERY NEXT DAY. ANYWAY A WIRE WAS REPLACED TO THE STARTER AND ALL WAS FINE FOR ABOUT 10,000 MILES AND THE SAME NON STARTING ISSUES OCCURRED AGAIN AND AGAIN. SEEMS LIKE I JUST KEEP TRYING TO START IT AND MAYBE THE 8TH OR 25TH TIME IT STARTS.. RUNNING OUT OF WORDS AND THEY WOULD ONLY LET ME PICK 3 PARTS TO WRITE ABOUT ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH BRAKES CRACKS AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG ON DASH ETC. *TR
