I went to get a safety check and they told me that i couldn't get it because my air bag light was on. I live on a isolated island that doesn't have a hyundai dealership and the car dealership where i bought the car isn't giving me a call back while in the mean time i am riding around with a expired safety check and is fearful of getting cited.

It is 2004 hyundai elantra gt. The car is never been any accident but the air bag light is on . The same year car has recall for airbag light but not for this model . I think hyundai should recall this model (2004 hyundai elantra gt) and fix the airbag before any major accident happen to any owner. *tr

Hit a telephone pole going about 40mph n the airbag went off about 5 seconds after. My neck pain has gone to my back and head n my body is becoming deformed and shutting down. I'm trying to get help but i guess i waited too long. I was injured n never treated hoping it would go away but it did not. The airbag would have definitely helped me out! Also this was in pennsylvania not ohio.

I was driving with my cruise control on and a car stopped in front of me. I hit the brakes and my car accelerated. This is the third time this has happened. Fortunately, i was able to slam on the brakes and the car stopped. Also the air bag light does not go off with an adult in the front seat. This is very concerning. *tr
