The airbag light came on in my car. I took it into the phil long hyundai dealership in colorado springs and was told that the passenger occupant detection sensor in the front passenger seat was malfunctioning and needed to be replaced. at first the service representative was very confident that hyundai would pay for the replacement, but after a phone call he was told that they would not because my vehicle had over 100,000 miles and I was not the original owner. (however, I do believe that this IS a defective part because the same thing happened to my sister's hyundai.) the mileage on the car was 117,108 when I had the issue diagnosed.

Takata recall. The air bag light IS on all the time. The tire TPMS light always comes on saying it failing. When driving the car IS shifting funny, sometimes IS jolts forward and sometimes it will not shift correctly. Car was also just stalling out at stop lights. It has not done that in a little while but it goes through spells where it will do it every time I come to a stop. I do not have an exact date when everything started.

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.

The main air bag indicator light on the gauge cluster keeps coming on, as well as the passenger seatbelt occasionally light which occurs when someone has sat in the passenger seat, then exits. Once the seat IS empty, the seatbelt light was supposed to be light off, but the air bag light on the main cluster remains lit. The only time the light goes off IS when the car IS restarted momentarily, but the airbag light IS back on and always comes on until the engine IS off. I drive a car in dangerous status every time and every day.

Oil leaks from the front cylinder bank straight into the alternator causing it to fail prematurely. The nhtsa issued a recall for this exact same issue for the 2006-2012 hyundai veracruz (nhtsa campaign number: 14v415000). You concluded in the consequence paragraph "an unexpected failure of motive power while driving increases the risk of a crash." I'm deeply concerned of this happening with my hyundai azera as it currently has oil leaking into the alternator. My azera has 80K original miles. the azera uses the exact same engine, front cylinder bank gasket, and alternator as the veracruz and subsequently suffers from the same problem that led to the recall issued for the hyundai veracruz. please review and compare my claim against the existing recall for the hyundai veracruz as outlined above. I feel it's worth noting I also currently own a recall effected veracruz and have both vehicles for side by side comparison. I thank you for your time and efforts exploring this issue on my behalf and all other hyundai azera owners. Let me know if I can be of further assistance in this matter.

In a letter dated August 9, 2013, Hyundai-Kia America Technical Center, Inc. (Hyundai) notified NHTSA that Hyundaiis conducting a safety recall (13V-354) involving approximately 239,000 vehicles involving model year (MY) 2006 through 2010 Hyundai Sonata vehicles (approximately 215,000)produced beginning on March 1, 2005 through January 21, 2010 and model year (MY) 2006 through 2011 Hyundai Azera vehicles (approximately 24,000) produced beginning on September 27, 2005 through November 22, 2010 that are registered in and operated or originally sold in the following 20 salt belt states and the District of Columbia: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.Hyundai will also inform dealers to inspect/repair vehicles that were previously registered in salt belt states but are currently registered elsewhere. Hyundai is conducting the recall to remedy a defect involving internal corrosion of the rear sub frame that may lead to separation of the rear upper/lower control arm(s) at their respective mounting points and/or separation of the axle from the transaxle where they meet.This could result in a loss of vehicle control and/or vehicle disablement which may increase the risk of a vehicle crash.In response to NHTSA?s Information Request (IR) letter, Hyundai stated the Azera vehicles utilizes the identical cross member and upper/lower rear control arm components as the subject (Sonata) vehicles.In analysis of both Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) data submitted to the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) and consumer complaint data submitted to Hyundai, ODI identified 19 non-duplicative reports alleging excessive corrosion of the rear sub frame. All of the complaint vehicles were either originally sold or registered at the time of the incident in one of the salt belt states.Of these 19 reports, 9 alleged either a suspension component separation or a fracture of the vehicle's rear cross member assembly.Similarly, ODI identified 8 warranty claims of rear sub frame replacement in data submitted by Hyundai due to excessive corrosion, all of which involved vehicles originally sold or operated in a salt belt state. Based on Hyundai's decision to conduct a safety recall, (13V-354) this investigation is closed.The VOQs cited above can be viewed at www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchNHTSAID under the following identification numbers: 10535115, 10534110, 10525976, 10524726, 10521520, 10508368, 10505463, 10490073, 10486752, 10486435, 1048354, 10473922, and 10437887.
