Recently reported AIR BAGS problems on 2008 Hyundai Veracruz

Air bag light is on and stays on

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? hyundai case # 11682549

The airbag light came on on dash panel hyundai advisor thought it may be a loose connection and to have it looked at on our next service visit, after hyundai diagnosed the problem it turns out that is the clock spring which has a recall dated 9/11/2011 recall confirmation #11v472000, hyundai dealer told me that my vin is not involved in the recall

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 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).

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.

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. i would request nhtsa look into this and have hyundai take care of this. http://www.hyundai-forums.com/veracruz-forum/151125-esc-off-abs-awd-light.html. *tr

Passenger airbag is slowly expanding causing damage to interior of vehicle. passenger airbag is now nonfunctional and hyundai doesn't care about the safety aspect of it. i've been several dealerships and spoke with customer relations regarding problem and nobody seems to care.
