Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2007 Hyundai Azera owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Azera. While driving various speeds, the seat belt and air bag warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the new wiring harness clip was loose and needed to be tightened. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was previously serviced per NHTSA campaign number: 10V007000 (air bags, seat belts) but the remedy failed to repair the vehicle. The vehicle was brought back to the dealer several times for the failure. The contact was advised that no one over 150 lbs should utilize the passenger seat. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and confirmed that the seat limit was 150 lbs. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.
Our airbag light is on all the time. Back in oct 2014, car had 119K miles, we took it to the dealer because there was a recall on the seat belt tensioner. They said that the car was salvage title so nothing could be done (salvage title due to hail damage). They said the recall had already been performed. They charged us for the diagnostic and recommended we replace the right (passenger) seat belt retractor assembly but we did not do this. Also, there are 2 cracks in the passenger side dashboard that were there when we bought the car. My husband thought it was probably sun damage, but I have since seen in the NHTSA comments that this is an issue due to airbag below.
Red air bag light came on with the yellow passenger airbag off light when my passenger went to put his seat belt on and the red air bag light stays on and the passenger air bag light continues to go on when the seat belt is moved to connect doesnt need to be connected for this to happen there is a recall but my vehicle does not fall into the manufacturing date my manufacturing date is 05/11/2007 .I contacted Hyundai and they said its not on recall .I believe im not the only person who is experiencing this safety hazard problem .please help me cant afford the 1000 dollar fix by the dealer.

I just bought this car used with 49K on the odo and the other day the passenger airbag off light remained on and like other instances will not reset to the on position. I have not yet taken the car to the dealer, but that is my next step. This is a known problem, but yet I see no recall from Hyundai for such a serious safety condition. That is the reason for my complaint.
I purchased my 2007 Azera in July of 2018 then over a month later in August of 2018 my passenger went to put his seat belt on in the passenger front seat the red airbag light and the passenger airbag off yellow light stayed on which is not suppose to happen now the red airbag light stays on all the time and the yellow passenger light stays on while the seat belt is on.
Driver's dash airbag warning lamp illuminates sporadically. Front passenger seat "airbag disabled" warning lamp illuminates sporadically whether seat is occupied or not. Front passenger seat "seat belt unlatched" warning lamp illuminates sporadically whether seat is occupied or not and/or whether seat belt is latched or not.
Check engine light came on along with ESC off light showing up on dashboard. At times when starting vehicle up in morning vehicle would not accelerate, I've pressed the gas pedal to the floor and no acceleration. Sunroof window, back driver window and heated front seats have stopped working and my airbag lights stay on ?
Air brake warning light came on and the passenger airbag off warning light came on when a passenger is sitting in the passenger front seat or not. Both stay on even after reading the manual to reset it.cosequently the passenger air bag is imobilizzed and will not protect the passenger.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Azera. The contact stated the air bag warning indicator illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 84,000.
