2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Airbags Problems

On November 28, 2025 at approximately 2:20am, I was involved in a multi-car pile up crash on Interstate 85 south near Durham NC. At least 5 vehicles were involved and significantly damaged. At least two drivers were taken by ambulance to local hospitals.

For at least 14 months, the air bag light on the dash is on more often than not. The code that comes up on the OBD shows it's from the passenger side seat sensor. Occasionally, the seat belt indicator will flash when there is no occupant, as well.

My engine failed. Dealership put it through an oil consumption test which it failed. They ended up keeping my car for 3 weeks to build a new engine, add new belts, new spark plugs and new filters to go with the repair.

I purchased this vehicle 05/05/2019 as a certified pre-owned vehicle from the dealership. I have kept regular maintenance on the car. Three same day of purchase, the engine quit as I was driving it.

There is a defective passenger presence detecting bladder on front passenger seat. My safety and the safety of my family are put at risk because if this sensor is not working, the car won't be able to detect if has someone on the passenger seat or not, causing a malfunction on the air bag system and the airbag won't be triggered in case of an accident.

My airbag light came on and stayed on just before the 60k mile warranty expired. I called the dealership and was advised to bring it in to the dealership because the airbags might not deploy if we were in an accident. They said it just needed to be reset.

I was in an accident traveling approx 20mph on a city street when I hydroplaned and hit a stationary light pole head on. My frontal air bag never deployed. My head struck the windshield, created significant winshield damage.

On april 15, our brand new santa fe was involved in an accident. While driving in low speed traffic suddenly, while my fiance rear ended someone. To this day she cannot figure out what happened.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that after the completion of an unknown air bag recall repair, the air bag warning light illuminated.

We noticed that we had our airbag light was on in our dashboard along with that we also notice that the buttons and horn did not work in to the steering wheel. When we took the car to get checked by the Hyundai dealership in Lakewood. We were told that the clock spring was the cause of this problem to the airbag, horn, and the buttons not working.

air bag warning light repeatedly goes on and off. code B1764, B1490, sometime both.

Airbag light stays in constantly in vehicle that is 5yrs old with less than 100,000 miles. Dealer wants $3,000+ to repair.

ABS light, passenger air bag light and skid light came on. Passenger airbag light flashes whenever car is in drive

The airbag light won't turn off. I was told the car is out of warranty and my extended warranty does not cover this issue.

On dec 5, 2019 at 7:50 am, I was stopped at a red light waiting to turn west at a city intersection. When the light turned green, I accelerated and drove towards the middle of the intersection. There was no oncoming traffic, so I continued and was about to make a left turn when I got hit by 2018 ford escape.
