On January 19,2023 my air bag light and check engine light came on in my Azera 2012 I took my car to the Hyundai dealership center in Salisbury Maryland they said after doing the diagnostic my car was going to need seat cushion for airbag light and for the door latch and will cost me with having a warranty 3265.00 dollars . There is no recall on the car however the Hyundai Motor Company recalled my make and year as of May 22 2012 for occupant detection system may fail to properly differentiate whether the front passenger seat occupant is an adult or a child or a child restraint seat since my car was manufactured in May 14 of 2012 it does not fit in that recall however, what if my car isn’t recalled they say it could be recalled later my concern is I would like it to be covered under that recall for my car as of May 22, 2012 I feel that my car was not built up in those airbags in the standard that should be since my car was manufactured seven days before the actual recall date I would like Hyundai motor company to take care of all expenses for the the safety, and the fixing of the seat cushion as well as the door latch I feel that there is a safety issue while driving with the light going on and off and the dashboard blinking specially without the passenger side door latch and seat not working right, it wont detect a problem, or possibly the airbag could come out , it has been confirmed by the dealership Pohanka Hyundai Of Salisbury , Maryland, that the components were inspected and they were no insurance or police. Just a code popped up in the car dash in the car dashboard computer. I would ask that you guys would look into this and see that the manufacture independently conducts a safety recall on this and pays all costs of the safety recall and please fix it I can be contacted at 757-894-8324. Again thank you .

SEAT: IN AUGUST 2019, WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING MY CAR WITH BOTH HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND ME IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT ON A CITY STREET THE DRIVER SEAT BACK STARTED TO FOLD FORWARD TO THE POINT MY SON WAS SCREAMING AND SCARED NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS HAPPENING HE HAD TO MAKE AN ABRUPT EXIT OFF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT WE WERE PASSING. ONCE SAFELY PARKED HE PULLED THE LATCH ON THE SIDE THAT CONTROLS THE SEAT BACK AND MADE THE SEAT GO BACK INTO PLACE. NOW AS OF MAY 2020, THE SEAT WILL ONLY GO BACKWARDS AND IS STUCK IN THAT POSITION AND WILL NOT GO FORWARD AT ALL. SUSPENSION: I HAVE HAD THIS CAR SINCE THE BEGINNING OF APRIL 2014, I HAVE HAD THE SUSPENSION DONE I KNOW AT A MINIMUM OF 5 TIMES TO DATE, THE LAST BEING 7/2/2020 AND CURRENTLY BEING TOLD IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AGAIN!!!!!! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! ENGINE: THE CHECK ENGINE ALERT COMES ON EVERY TIME I CUT THE CAR ON FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS OR SO. EACH TIME IT WAS TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC AND THE ERROR CODE CAME UP THE SAME SO I PAID TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED TO NO AVAIL. THE CHECK ENGINE ALERT CONTINUES TO COME ON AND I WAS TOLD IT IS A SENSOR MALFUNCTION. AIR BAG ICON: THIS HAS BEEN ON FOR THE PAST YEAR AND I WAS TOLD YET AGAIN THAT IT IS A SENSOR MALFUNCTION.

THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT MOVES FORWARD ON ITS OWN WHILE I'M DRIVING AND PRESSES ME UP AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL. IT'S A RANDOM OCCURRENCE AND I CAN'T DETECT ANY PATTERN. SOMETIMES IT CAN BE MOVE BACK INTO POSITION, BUT NOT ALWAYS IMMEDIATELY. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS FOR OTHER 2007 AZERAS, BUT IT DOESN'T APPLY TO MY VIN. YET, IT IS HAPPENING ON MY CAR.

TOOK THE CAR TO HARBOR HYUNDAI IN LONG BEACH, CA FOR AN SRS/AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT THAT TURNED ON AND REMAINED ON IN THE VEHICLE'S INSTRUMENT CLUSTER UPON STARTING THE CAR ON 1/13/2019. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND PARKED IN A RESIDENTIAL STREET. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN, AS THE SAFETY RESTRAINING SYSTEMS MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE WITH ERROR CODES B1490 AND B1763, SYMBOLIZING AN "OCS(OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM) DEFECT" AND "OCS ECU DEFECT" IN THE VEHICLE, WHICH ADVISED REPLACEMENT OF BOTH THE ECU AND THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO DIRECTLY TO RELATE TO HYUNDAI'S "CAMPAIGN 111" RECALL WHICH INVOLVES VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM MAY 22, 2012 THROUGH NOVEMBER 23, 2012 (JUST 1 MONTH, 10 DAYS) BEFORE MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT. BECAUSE THE SYMPTOMS IN THIS ISSUE SEEM ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THAT RECALL, THIS ISSUE MIGHT BE THE SAME ISSUE AS STATED IN THE RECALL. UNFORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE'S VIN DOES NOT EXIST WITHIN THAT PREVIOUS RECALL, MEANING A LARGE REPAIR EXPENSE NEEDS TO BE PAID. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND A CASE NUMBER WAS MADE FOR THE ISSUE REPORTED. ATTACHED ARE COPIES OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT'S VEHICLE OBD II SCANNER REPORT ALONG WITH THE INVOICE, AN OUTLINE OF THE ERROR CODES SCANNED, AND AN ESTIMATED REPAIR COST.

STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN MY WIFE RODE WITH ME AND THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF. EVENTUALLY, IT STARTED TO REMAIN ON THE WHOLE TIME WITH HER IN THE SEAT. NOW THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT UNFASTENED LIGHT FLASHES CONSTANTLY WITH NO ONE IN THE SEAT. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL HYUNDAI TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AND IT IS READING A FAULT CODE B1489 INDICATING AN ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM (PODS). SINCE THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER HYUNDAI MODEL'S DATING BACK TO THE MID-2000'S THAT HAVE HAD RECALL'S ON THE PODS, I AM WONDERING IF MY VEHICLE MAY USE THE SAME SEAT SENSOR'S THAT THE OTHER MODEL'S USE. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A STRAIGHT ANSWER TO IF WHEN THE PODS IS DEFECTIVE, WILL THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOY, OR WILL THEY DEPLOY NO MATTER WHAT SHOULD THE EVENT BE TRIGGERED.
