Air bag light came on while driving. Went on and off intermittently for several weeks. Is now almost always on, but on rare occasions will turn off only to come back on later. 77000 miles on car, so not in warranty. Symptoms seem similar to earlier recall of hyundai vehicles for defective clock springs.

While driving up over a mountain pass the airbag deployed warning lights were lit and the low tire pressure light lit. I stopped and checked the tires. The right rear tire had a hole in the sidewall. There was no impact with any vehicle or hillside. This road has quite a few turns and is a narrow two lane mountain pass. ( gates pass, tucson arizona. *tr

My airbag light was off and on for about a month and now it is a steady light. The repair shop i took it to said i needed a clock spring and a new driver air bag. They also said i might need another part. Total cost of all of this will be around $1600. Since my car has over 100,000 miles, it is not under warranty. I've noticed other people are complaining about the airbag light.

I have noticed that my vehicle's airbag light is turning on and off while the vehicle is in motion on a city street and on highways. I do not know what triggers it to turn off and on. It also turns on and off while the vehicle is not in motion. I believe this is a major security issue because if i am involved in a major car crash and the airbags are not on then i will not be secured.

Takata recall. The airbag light is on since december 23rd 2015, i went to the rick case hyundai dealer in davie, fl and they told me the warranty expires??, how come a warranty for a mechanic part that is not in use, mean the airbags have never been deployed, can expire??, i am very concern for my wife, daughter and me safety and afraid to use the car for long trips.
