The airbag warning light illuminated as a normal part of startup but is no longer shutting off; remaining illuminated until the vehicle is shut off. A trip to the dealer (edwards Hyundai in council bluffs, ia in July, 2018) resulting in them wanting to charge a $170 diagnostic fee despite the current recall on airbags for my vehicle. The vehicle has approx. 103K miles on it at the time of airbag indicator light remaining illuminated.
- Papillion, NE, USA
There is a recall on my car recalls are #174 and 160 and I am dealing with these issues unfortunately I have a problem because the airbags can't be fixed because there hasn't been a way to fix them. But I have noticed that there is a real hard shaking in and loud and aggressive tapping in the wheel column makes this sound when U go to a certain speed.for over 60 mph. The knocking goes fast and makes it difficult to steer the wheel especially, on the highway. I am very concerned about all of these issues with this car. Going to meet with the dealer in tomorrow to see how I can be assisted with this issue.

I bought my Sonata in Jan 2013. I went to start my car a few days ago and my driver side airbag came on and went out like normal but then the airbag light on my dash came back on and it stays lit while driving and also while the car is on in a stationary position. It only goes off when the car is turned off.
