2014 Hyundai Sonata Airbags Problems

Your passenger-side front airbag deployed on its own while you were driving, after you heard an abnormal sound from the vehicle. The airbag went off without any crash occurring. The manufacturer was notified and opened a case, but advised you not to get a diagnostic until they contact you, which hasn't happened yet. This issue requires airbag system inspection and potential replacement of the airbag module or sensor.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the driver’s air bag warning light was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and the contact was provided an estimate for the repair. The service technician stated that there were no recalls on the VIN related to the failure. The failure persisted and the contact stated that the electrical functions on the steering failed to operate as needed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was provided the same information as the dealer and the contact was given a case number. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The airbag system warning light on my 2014 Hyundai Sonata GLS has turned on. I suspect it may be related to a faulty clock spring or another issue within the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? If the airbag system is not functioning properly, the airbags may not deploy in the event of a collision, putting my life and the safety of passengers at serious risk. This is particularly concerning as this vehicle is used for daily commuting and family travel. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? I have not yet had it diagnosed by a dealer or repair shop, but I plan to schedule a diagnostic check soon. The airbag light remains consistently on during vehicle operation, indicating a persistent fault. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No, the vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer or any third-party representative. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes, the airbag warning light illuminated on the dashboard without any prior physical impact or incident. It first appeared approximately [two days ago], and it has remained on continuously since then. Additional Information: I am aware that certain Hyundai Sonatas have been subject to airbag-related recalls, including issues with the clock spring and airbag deployment failures. Given the similarity of symptoms, I would like to know whether my vehicle may be affected by one of these recalls, or if Hyundai will provide inspection and repair support based on this known issue.

Air bag warning has come on due to malfunctioning clockspring. Went to dealership and realized it is not under extended 15 year warranty. Even though, 2011-2013 Sonatas, Elantras, and 2011-2014 HYBRID Sonatas are covered. Being so close in years this is disappointing to learn that the warranty was cut off, although it obviously seems to be an ongoing problem.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that the horn independently beeped. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 63,000.

HAD A WRECK ON I-40W BOUND HIT GUARD RAIL ON PASSAGER SIDE AND THE LEFT INTO THEMIDDLE MEDIAN MY AIRBAGS OR THE DRIVERS SIDE NOR DID THE DASH BOTH PASSENGER & DRIVERS DID NOT DEPLOY... THE ONLY AIRBAG THAT DEPOYED WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE OVER THE RIGHT SIDE FRONT & BACK DOOR WINDOW FRAME... I HAVE PICTURES A PROOF THAT THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPOLY

The airbag light turned and stayed on. I checked my Sonata in a repair shop and the diagnostic test reads a clock spring resistant too high. It recommended a clock spring replacement. I checked on the internet and found there was a recall for clock spring recall for Sonata 2011-2013, but my Sonata is 2014. Not sure why my 2014 model was missed. Please check if the clock spring in 2014 has the same model as Sonata 2013. If yes, please add Sonata 2014 to the recall list.

Dash cracking severely over Airbags...Hyundai refuses to address the problem even though they had a PRIOR RECALL for the Same Issue. The Spiderweb Cracking is severe enough I am concerned my airbags will deploy without warning. Leather in Limited Model Seats Cracks and Disintegrates so badly the Power Motor and Components are exposed and compromised.
