2013 Hyundai Azera

WHEN I CRANK UP MY 2013 HYUNDAI AZERA THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON.I WAITED AND THE LIGHT NEVER WENT OUT.HAD MY CAR SCANNED AND IT STATED THE ERROR IS THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL.I FEEL AS IF MY SAFETY IS COMPROMISED IF THE AIR BAG ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY.I KEEP ALL MAINTENANCE UP ON MY VEHICLE BUT THIS IS OUT OF MY CONTROL.

AS OF 7/26/19 MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I STARTED MY CAR IT WAS STILL OVERNIGHT AND HASN'T GONE OFF I TOOK IT TO NALLEY HYUNDAI IN LITHONIA G.A 8/12/19 WHERE I WAS TOLD THEIRS NO RECALL BUT THE CLOCK SCREW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND MY STEERING COLUMN TO FIX THE CLICK IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND WAS THEN GIVEN AN ESTIMATE I FEEL THIS IS A FAULTY ITEM THAT IS CONDUCIVE TO MY SAFETY AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR IT

TOOK THE CAR TO HARBOR HYUNDAI IN LONG BEACH, CA FOR AN SRS/AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT THAT TURNED ON AND REMAINED ON IN THE VEHICLE'S INSTRUMENT CLUSTER UPON STARTING THE CAR ON 1/13/2019. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND PARKED IN A RESIDENTIAL STREET. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN, AS THE SAFETY RESTRAINING SYSTEMS MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE WITH ERROR CODES B1490 AND B1763, SYMBOLIZING AN "OCS(OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM) DEFECT" AND "OCS ECU DEFECT" IN THE VEHICLE, WHICH ADVISED REPLACEMENT OF BOTH THE ECU AND THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO DIRECTLY TO RELATE TO HYUNDAI'S "CAMPAIGN 111" RECALL WHICH INVOLVES VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM MAY 22, 2012 THROUGH NOVEMBER 23, 2012 (JUST 1 MONTH, 10 DAYS) BEFORE MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT. BECAUSE THE SYMPTOMS IN THIS ISSUE SEEM ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THAT RECALL, THIS ISSUE MIGHT BE THE SAME ISSUE AS STATED IN THE RECALL. UNFORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE'S VIN DOES NOT EXIST WITHIN THAT PREVIOUS RECALL, MEANING A LARGE REPAIR EXPENSE NEEDS TO BE PAID. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND A CASE NUMBER WAS MADE FOR THE ISSUE REPORTED. ATTACHED ARE COPIES OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT'S VEHICLE OBD II SCANNER REPORT ALONG WITH THE INVOICE, AN OUTLINE OF THE ERROR CODES SCANNED, AND AN ESTIMATED REPAIR COST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI AZERA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FOLSOM LAKE HYUNDAI (12530 AUTO MALL CIR, FOLSOM, CA 95630, (916) 293-4760) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCKSPRING IN THE AIR BAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,581.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI AZERA. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE: 1346 (NO RESISTANCE TO AIR BAG). THE MECHANIC ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 83,000.

AT APPROXIMATELY 40K MILES THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR CAME ON WHILE THERE WAS A CHILD PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. IT ONLY CAME ON WHEN MY 15 YEAR OLD WOULD SIT THERE AND WE WERE MOVING. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THE FAULT WAS RESET. THE DEALER STATED IF IT REOCCURED THEY WOULD ORDER A NEW SENSOR. IT DID REOCCUR THIS TIME WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A 160 LB. 5'5 MAN IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, AND THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THE PART CAME IN THEY WOULD CALL. THE DEALER NEVER CALLED. DUE TO LACK OF TIME ON MY PART I DID NOT FOLLOW UP FOR TWO YEARS AND THE LIGHT WAS ON THE ENTIRE TIME. WHEN I DID GO BACK THE DEALER STARTED THAT WAS TO LONG AGO AND NOW THE PART IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY DESPITE BEING DOCUMENTED AS BAD WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW WHILE SEARCHING FOR A PART ONLINE I FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS. WHY DON'T THE DEALER FIX IT?

VEHICLE DRIFTS LEFT AND RIGHT AT INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SPEEDS, REQUIRING CONSTANT ATTENTION AND CORRECTION BY THE DRIVER, WHICH IS DISTRACTING AND CONTRIBUTES TO DRIVER FATIGUE. UNABLE TO TRACK SMOOTHLY AROUND CURVES. SIMILAR TO ALTERNATING CROSS WINDS, EVEN WHEN THERE ARE NONE. SITUATION VERY AGGRAVATING IN ACTUAL CROSS WINDS. POLICE OFFICER PULLED ME OVER AND SAID HE WOULD BE JUSTIFIED IN ISSUING A TICKET FOR "WEAVING". DEALER TECHNICIAN DROVE THE CAR AND ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS A NEGATIVE CHARACTERISTIC OF ELECTRICAL STEERING AND NOTHING TO BE DONE FOR IT.

2013 HYUNDAI AZERA WAS PARKED WITH THE WINDOW CRACKED ABOUT AN INCH. A STORM CAME UP AND A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER WAS BLOWN ONTO THE PASSENGER SEAT. AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. HYUNDAI DEALER SAID ANY REPAIR IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS " THE CAR IS NOT DESIGNED TO HAVE WATER INSIDE". I HAVE OWNED OVER 20 CARS AND NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS OCCUR EVEN WHEN SOMETHING SPILLED ON SEATS. *TR
