| Air bag warning light on dash was on, and dealer said there was a problem with the connector on the front passenger seat. was quoted approximately $400 to repair the problem and was told safety items were not covered after the vehicle 100,000 mile warranty had expired. it seems the amount to cover a simple connector problem is excessive, especially since it is directly safety related to passengers of the vehicle. the dealer could not explain if the srs system would work or not with the warning light on. how can they determine where the problem is if they don't even know what the results of the problem will be? now i don't know if any of the srs system air bags will deploy in an accident. | |||

| I purchased a 2005 hyundai xg350 l october 23,2012. one week later the air bag light appeared on the dash. a mechanic told me that it is caused by the airbag connector under the seat, the yellow connector. if it is disconnected and reconnected the warning light would go off. i looked for it and found it. i was not able to reach far enough to disconnect it, but i was able to wiggle the connector and the airbag warning light went off. it appeared that someone had been under the drivers seat before to adjust that connector as it was hanging and did not look to be properly placed. the next day the air bag warning light came on again. i have not been able to get the light to go off again and it remains on. a hyundai service adviser told me that it is a common issue. i researched it online to find out that when that light is on, the airbag will not work. i also discovered that people have paid to have this issue repaired more than once and have spent a lot of money to have this fixed and it just continues. this is a defect and hyundai has received many complaints yet they have not issued a recall. instead they continue to take money from people to repair a part that can not be repaired as it is defective. i got a price quote to replace the connector. the part alone is over $130. the labor more than triples the cost. owners of this vehicle have been experiencing this problem as early as the 1st year of ownership in 2005. it is now almost 2013 and hyundai still has not issued a recall for the problem. *tr | |||

| The airbag warning light went on indicating that the airbags were not functioning. the problem was corrected however it continues to reoccur and has occured 8 times over the last two years. hyundai has fixed the problem by adjusting a connector under the seat however the porblem continues to reoccur. it has now happened 8 times and after the last repair 3 weeks ago the warning light is back on. when the light is on we have no airbag protection. checking the internet i found that this is a common problem for which hyundai has no real fix. hyundai is now charging us to fix the problem but the fix only last 2-4 weeks and the warning light goes back on. this is a serious safety hazard and apparently occurs frequently with the xg350. the car needs to be recalled and a permanent fix made before someone is killed when the airbags do not activate in an accident. *tr | |||
