Airbag light on. Dealer pulled codes B7614 and B1490. OCS fault in mat. Recommended replacing OCS mat in passenger seat. Airbag light turns on when weight in passenger seat vacant, or does not reach weight threshold. Light usually turns off when passenger is in seat. However, vehicle could not pass state inspection with this occupant detection system malfunction.

Airbag light turns on/off. Had dealership investigate and found that it is related to the occupancy sensor mat in the passenger seat. Code was reset (no work performed) and remained off 7 months and now is back on. Could be related to weather (comes on more frequently during fall & winter). Dealer states it is a B1767 code and will need OCS mat replaced.

I was involved in a collision with a flying object that went through the windshield, knocked off my mirror, and damaged the frame of my car. The airbag attempted to deploy; however, it failed to do so. No warnings. The vehicle is currently at the shop waiting to be repaired. The airbag has not been inspected yet.

ODS system mat is defective. We are seeing the same cold temperature malfunction of the ODS system that have been reported for other 2015 Hyundai Accent cars. We feel that the recall should expanded.

Yesterday, on March 26, 2021 during road trip an airbag light came on without no reason and it still stays on. On March 27, 2021 I called my dealer to get help. I was trying to ask them to waive inspection fee because it is safety concern, but they said "no". my car is 6 years old, 66,000 mileage. I am first owner and this car was never involved in any crash. Because of present covid19 crisis I have not enough money to pay upfront for special inspections. I hope that I will get help in your department.

Passenger seat indicator light.
- Gardena, CA, USA
The airbag light will not shut off, shop cannot pass inspection with the airbag light is on and can cost up to $1000 to replace since it's wired into the seat. This 100% should be recalled since there are dozens of others who have experienced this system issue.

I was in an mva on 4/7/2020. I was traveling at 45mph when I collided with another vehicle. My airbags did not deploy, whereas all of the other vehicle's did. Because of this, I slammed into the steering wheel. I received extreme whiplash, stashed muscles in the chest, and a large contusion across my lower abdomen. I also received injury to my legs.

At first in the beginning my car does it once in a blue moon; however now everyday for the past two months my car would power down while being at a red light, stop sign, or in motion. When it powers down the engine and battery lights comes on. I would have to put the car in park and restart my car. It normally does it twice everyday. This is a safety hazard for myself and my baby. I'm scared that a car would come up behind and hit me while my baby is in the car. I fear our lives. When I took it to autozone for them to check and see why my check engine light was on the code was always catalytic converter. I went to go get that fix and my car is still having the same problem. Also, when my car is in motion the RPM doesn't move it stays at 0. also, the sensor for the passenger air bag isn't working. When somebody is sitting on the passenger side the airbag light is off, but when somebody isn't sitting there the airbag light is on. I haven't been in any accidents.

Driving on hwy 6, 6 lanes, heard a low squeal. Haven't had my horn/airbag looked at yet, but I have duct taped the horn down to stop the squeal sound. Glad the airbag didn't deploy! will have an inspection soon, hope it doesn't cost much to fix! [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

My car was stationary in my driveway and off when my driver's side airbags deployed. Nothing touched my car, there was no reason for them to deploy. My car's SRS light is not on. As of now this car is not part of the takata recall; I don't know what inflators are in my car.
