I PURCHASED MY HYUNDAI AZERA 2008N USED 2 YEARS AGO AND HAVE HAD MINOR ISSUES WITH IT. THE HEATED SEATS CANNOT BE TURNED OFF, THE AIR BAGS DO NOT WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, BRAKES HAD A RECALL, AND NOW GASKETS ARE BLOWN ON THE ENGINE. I HAVE SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND BECAUSE ITS A WHOLE NEW CREW, THE OLD CREW WAS LET GO, THEY DO NOT WANT TO HELP WITH GETTING ANOTHER CAR FOR ME. TONY, THE SALESPERSON,. DID TRY BY PASSING ME ON TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY CANNOT HELP ME. MY CAR NEEDS TO BE PAID DOWN SOME BEFORE ANY DEALERSHIP WILL TOUCH IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI AZERA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.

TAKATA RECALL. THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME. THE TIRE TPMS LIGHT ALWAYS COMES ON SAYING IT FAILING. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR IS SHIFTING FUNNY, SOMETIMES IS JOLTS FORWARD AND SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY. CAR WAS ALSO JUST STALLING OUT AT STOP LIGHTS. IT HAS NOT DONE THAT IN A LITTLE WHILE BUT IT GOES THROUGH SPELLS WHERE IT WILL DO IT EVERY TIME I COME TO A STOP. I DO NOT HAVE AN EXACT DATE WHEN EVERYTHING STARTED.

STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN MY WIFE RODE WITH ME AND THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF. EVENTUALLY, IT STARTED TO REMAIN ON THE WHOLE TIME WITH HER IN THE SEAT. NOW THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT UNFASTENED LIGHT FLASHES CONSTANTLY WITH NO ONE IN THE SEAT. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL HYUNDAI TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AND IT IS READING A FAULT CODE B1489 INDICATING AN ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM (PODS). SINCE THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER HYUNDAI MODEL'S DATING BACK TO THE MID-2000'S THAT HAVE HAD RECALL'S ON THE PODS, I AM WONDERING IF MY VEHICLE MAY USE THE SAME SEAT SENSOR'S THAT THE OTHER MODEL'S USE. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A STRAIGHT ANSWER TO IF WHEN THE PODS IS DEFECTIVE, WILL THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOY, OR WILL THEY DEPLOY NO MATTER WHAT SHOULD THE EVENT BE TRIGGERED.

THE MAIN AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE GAUGE CLUSTER KEEPS COMING ON, AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER SEATBELT OCCASIONALLY LIGHT WHICH OCCURS WHEN SOMEONE HAS SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THEN EXITS. ONCE THE SEAT IS EMPTY, THE SEATBELT LIGHT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LIGHT OFF, BUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE MAIN CLUSTER REMAINS LIT. THE ONLY TIME THE LIGHT GOES OFF IS WHEN THE CAR IS RESTARTED MOMENTARILY, BUT THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS BACK ON AND ALWAYS COMES ON UNTIL THE ENGINE IS OFF. I DRIVE A CAR IN DANGEROUS STATUS EVERY TIME AND EVERY DAY.
