| We own a 2005 santa fe by hyundai. we have been reading blogs about the air bag light being illuminated as a result of the seat belt sensor going bad on these vehicles and not deploying in the case of an accident. ours is now demonstrating this. the red air bag light will remain illuminated and the issue after being run through a diagnostic at a local dealership was as expected tied to a seat belt sensor issue. i know that there are more of these issues and some have actually won cases dealing on an individual level with hyundai of america which is what we intend to do, but if this is such a rampant issue, there should be a further investigation done and a voluntary recall on their part to assure that the air bags are deployable at all times and not just while the car is under warranty. *tr | |||
