The airbag light is constantly on. We took it to the hyundai service dealer and they told us that it is a sensor that is in the seat belt of the passenger seat. It is located on the buckle and that this part is about $500. I've heard that this is a common issue for this car. I'm very concerned because the mechanic told me that at this point the airbag won't deploy in case of an accident.

The red airbag light began to intermittently turn on/off for no apparent reason. When an occupant is in the front seat, the light is generally off, but if the occupant moves or changes his/her position in the front seat, the light would activate again, if only for a few seconds. The airbag light is now on at all times and will not shut off. *tr

Seat belt light remains on, and advised by mechanic the air bag will not deploy due to a faulty connection in the seat belt buckle. Several reported issues with this, so why hasn't hyundai recalled due to safety issue? My daughter of 21 is driving this vehicle as a second vehicle. I'm very worried about her safety. *tr
