2016 HYUNDAI ACCENT Seats Problems

This reports a recurring Safety Restraint System (SRS) airbag warning light issue for no apparent reason other than potentially defective components. Please investigate this! Any issues with the SRS system of a vehicle by default puts the safety of the vehicle's passengers at risk. The SRS airbag warning light first turned on randomly in June 2023 and remained on for a few weeks every time the car was on or being driven. (I am the second owner of the car, and this happened a year after purchase; I do not know if the original owners also had issues with this SRS warning light.) This SRS warning light turned itself off randomly a few weeks later. I had scheduled with a Hyundai Service Dept. to diagnose the issue for the price of $184.50 but ended up cancelling since the SRS light turned itself off 2 weeks before my appointment. The rough...

The air bag warning light comes on frequently while I am driving and the passenger side air bag does not always turn off when there is not a passenger sitting in the passenger seat like it should.

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AT RANDOM, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT OR NOT. CAR WAS TAKEN TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, AND THEY DISCOVERED A SEAT CUSHION WITH A SENSOR WAS MALFUNCTIONING. THIS WOULD COST CLOSE TO A $1000.00 TO FIX. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THUS, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL ENOUGH PEOPLE AND CHILDREN HAVE DIED FROM THIS. MOST OF US DO NOT HAVE $1000.00 TO DISH OUT FOR A FANCY SEAT CUSHION. I SEE FROM MANY COMPLAINTS THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM. PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY AND PUT OUT A RECALL FOR THOSE OF US THAT ARE TOO BROKE TO FIX A SAFETY MALFUNCTION THAT CAME WITH THE CAR.

PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR MALFUNCTION. STARTED ON 21 JUNE 2019, I STARTED MY CAR AND NOTICED THE RED AIRBAG DASH LIGHT ON AND THE PASSENGER "AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT OUT. A FEW DAYS LATER, I STARTED MY CAR AND THE RED DASH LIGHT STAYED OFF AND THE "AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT WAS WORKING. IT WORKS OFF AND ON TILL THIS DAY; WEIGHT SOME TIMES INFLUENCES IT. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS UNRESPONSIVE AND THE DASH LIGHT IS ON. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED IT FOR $100 AND CONFIRMED IT WAS THE $1200 PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR.
