Dashboard is literally disintegrating into many small pieces. The area over the passenger airbag will come at the passenger as plastic shrapnel. It will also probably affect the force the bag has when inflated. This issue is from using substandard materials.

On September 26, 2021 the airbag indicator light in my 2012 Hyundai Veracruz remained illuminated upon starting the vehicle. Around a day later, the airbag light stopped illuminating. Around a month later, I received a letter from Hyundai regarding a warranty extension to cover the clock spring, so I contacted my local Hyundai dealership. Tracy Hyundai indicated that the clock spring is fine, however there is a faulty passenger side occupant sensor. The fault code cleared; however this creates a safety issue as it is unknown if the front passenger airbags would deploy in the event of an accident. Tracy Hyundai indicated that Hyundai Corporation no longer makes this part so there is no available resolution. I contacted Hyundai Corporation, however they could not assist and referred me to contact the dealership.

THE ESC LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF WHEN I AM DRIVING. IN ADDITION, THE SAFETY SEAT BELT LIGHT IS ON. I FEEL THESE ARE TIED TO TEH RECALL ON THIS MADE AND MODEL, HOWEVER, WHEN THE DEALER RUNS MY VIN, IT IS NOT ON THE LIST. I FEEL THIS IS IN ERROR ESPECIALLY WHEN I READ THE SAFETY RECALL INFO ON RECALL #13V113000, 09V122000, AND 11V472000. I AM NOT SURE WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE LIST WHEN THE VIN IS RUN AGAINST THE DATABASE SINCE THE DESCRIPTION AND SYMPTOMS ARE DESCRIBED IN THESE KNOWN RECALLS. HOW DO I GET MY VIN PROPERLY INCLUDED IN THESE RECALLS. THE DEALER REFUSES TO WORK ON IT AS PART OF THE RECALL UNLESS IT IS IN THE DATABASE. THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES.

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. DEALERSHIP SAYS THE PASSENGER OCCUPANCY SENSOR HAS FAILED AND IT WILL COST $2600 TO REPAIR. THIS SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS AND LIKE IT SHOULD NOT FAIL UNDER NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE SENSOR CAN NOT DETECT IF A CHILD OR ADULT IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, MAKING THE CAR INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS! THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL OTHER HYUNDAI VEHICLES AS WELL. CLEARLY A SYSTEMATIC PROBLEM!

ESC LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. THIS IS REPETITIVE PROBLEM. IT LOOKS LIKE HYUNDAI HAS NO IDEA HOW TO FIX.. IF YOU GOOGLE VERACRUZ ESC LIGHT, YOU WILL SEE TONS OF POSTS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS.. AIR-BAG SIGN IS ON INTERMITTENTLY AFTER THE RECALL. HYUNDAI REFUSES TO REPAIR BECAUSE WHEN THEY TAKE THE CAR INTO THE GARAGE, THE LIGHT IS OFF(UNABLE TO READ THE CODE).
