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.
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

2007 HYUNDAI AZERA. CONSUMER STATES REPEATED USE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE SEAT BELT TENSION SENSOR, THEREFORE ILLUMINATING THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR, RENDERING IT INEFFECTIVE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH *TGW THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER. THE CONSUMER STATED IT HAS BEEN OVER A MONTH.
HYUNDAI ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM BUT DID NOT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS AT THE DEALERS. SO MY 2007 AZERA WAS GIVEN A PARTIAL FIX ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO AND FOR THE REST OF THE FIX I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE DEALER TO GET THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR IN STOCK. MEANWHILE THE AIR BAGS ARE DISABLED! I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW HYUNDAI WOULD ISSUE A RECALL NOTICE FOR A SAFETY ITEM BUT NOT EQUIP ITSELF WITH THE REQUIRED COMPONENTS FOR THE FIX! *TR
