    The incident is liquid that dripped into the emergency brake causing wires to melt for the airbag system. The cup holders are located directly beside the emergency brake. The emergency brake housing, contains the wiring harness for the vehicle. There is no sort of protective device to keep liquids from getting on the wiring. What happened in my instance is that liquid must have dripped off of a cup in the cupholder,…

    2007 hyundai elantra gls. Air bag light comes on indicating there is some malfunction with air bag deployment. I've had this covered under warranty last year (may 2008) and hyundai replaced the air bag sensor by the driver's seat. The air bag light is once again on right now. By simply moving the driver's seat back and forth, apparently leads to the failure/malfunction of the air bags. This seems to be a faulty air…
