THE ESC LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF WHEN I AM DRIVING. IN ADDITION, THE SAFETY SEAT BELT LIGHT IS ON. I FEEL THESE ARE TIED TO TEH RECALL ON THIS MADE AND MODEL, HOWEVER, WHEN THE DEALER RUNS MY VIN, IT IS NOT ON THE LIST. I FEEL THIS IS IN ERROR ESPECIALLY WHEN I READ THE SAFETY RECALL INFO ON RECALL #13V113000, 09V122000, AND 11V472000. I AM NOT SURE WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE LIST WHEN THE VIN IS RUN AGAINST THE DATABASE SINCE THE DESCRIPTION AND SYMPTOMS ARE DESCRIBED IN THESE KNOWN RECALLS. HOW DO I GET MY VIN PROPERLY INCLUDED IN THESE RECALLS. THE DEALER REFUSES TO WORK ON IT AS PART OF THE RECALL UNLESS IT IS IN THE DATABASE. THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES.

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. DEALERSHIP SAYS THE PASSENGER OCCUPANCY SENSOR HAS FAILED AND IT WILL COST $2600 TO REPAIR. THIS SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS AND LIKE IT SHOULD NOT FAIL UNDER NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE SENSOR CAN NOT DETECT IF A CHILD OR ADULT IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, MAKING THE CAR INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS! THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL OTHER HYUNDAI VEHICLES AS WELL. CLEARLY A SYSTEMATIC PROBLEM!

THE AIRBAG LIGHT JUST CAME ON WHEN I STARTED MY VEHICLE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN ANY SORT OF ACCIDENT. I HAD A SERVICE TECH PULL THE CODES (B1448- OCS MAT DEFECT AND B1481 - HIGH RESISTANCE TOO HIGH(2ND STAGE) FOR DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG AND THE CODE POINTS TO THE CLOCK SPRING. THERE IS A RECALL ON THESE MODEL VERACRUZ'S BUT NOT ON MY VIN. HYUNDAI MAY NEED TO EXPAND THEIR VIN LIST. I HAVE THE CAR SITTING NOW UNTIL I GET THIS RESOLVED BY HYUNDAI. MY CAR IS THE EXACT SAME MODEL AND COLOR AS PICTURED HERE. HTTPS://WWW.CARS.COM/ARTICLES/2011/09/RECALL-ALERT-2007-08-HYUNDAI-SANTA-FE-VERACRUZ/ HYUNDAI WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO ACTIVE RECALL FOR MY VIN. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO?

ESC LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. THIS IS REPETITIVE PROBLEM. IT LOOKS LIKE HYUNDAI HAS NO IDEA HOW TO FIX.. IF YOU GOOGLE VERACRUZ ESC LIGHT, YOU WILL SEE TONS OF POSTS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS.. AIR-BAG SIGN IS ON INTERMITTENTLY AFTER THE RECALL. HYUNDAI REFUSES TO REPAIR BECAUSE WHEN THEY TAKE THE CAR INTO THE GARAGE, THE LIGHT IS OFF(UNABLE TO READ THE CODE).

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 2 WEEKS. I'VE HAD TO TAKE THIS CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THE ABS LIGHT HAS GONE ON AFTER EVERY SERVICE, SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE SENSOR OR THE ACTUAL AIRBAG THAT'S THE PROBLEM. IT'S A PAIN, AND I DON'T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT TO BE WORRIED, WITH ALL THE NEGATIVE PRESS ABOUT AIRBAG ISSUES THESE DAYS. IF I TAKE IT IN I'M SURE THEY'LL CHARGE ME A LOT TO FIX IT.

ESC OFF, ABS & AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ON FOR THE HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. AS FEW USERS OF COMPLAINED HERE THIS SEEMS LIKE AN ISSUE THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE AS WELL.

MY AIRBAG AND ESC LIGHTS WENT OFF AND I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE SAYING THAT BOTH THE CONTROL MODULES (ABS, AIRBAG) NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THE PARTS ALONE COST AROUND $2600. *TR THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE OF 5 YEAR PERIOD (BOUGHT IN SEPT 2008) EVEN THOUGH THE MILEAGE IS LESS THAN 60K. THERE WERE MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT SEEMS LIKE THESE MODULES SHOULD NOT BE FAILING FOR 50K MILES. I HAVE HEARD MULTIPLE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ISSUE AND I THINK HYUNDAI SHOULD GET THE CONTROL MODULES REPLACED.
