2007 Hyundai Accent owner complaints

Air bag light is on with code b1517, and b1448. Shop is unable to determine whether airbag will deploy or not. How many people have to complain about the same issue before something is done about it? I've read multiple complaints over the same issue. If an air bag doesn't deploy that could most definitely be fatal.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 Hyundai accent. While driving approximately 25 MPH, the contact crashed into the proceeding vehicle. The front end of the vehicle sustained extensive damage. The contact and front seat passenger suffered moderate and severe injuries. The air bags failed to deploy with the level of impact involved. A police report filed was not filed, and the vehicle was driven away from the scene. The vehicle was repaired with the replacements of the radiator, air conditioner compressor and front bumper. In addition, the hood and other components within the front end bumper area were replaced. The failure mileage was unknown.

The air bag light is in and won't go off. I am worried the system won't work in an accident & also concerned that their has not been a recall on the airbags that have injured others when deployed

Same problem as others. "air bag" warning stays lighted no matter what. Research shows that people are discovering that it's the passenger seat sensor and that the repair is $1000. They have recalled this same part on sonatas (same year) but not he accents. We're told that none of the air bags work if this light is on. Please help!

My side mirrors do not work they do not rotate correctly. Therefore making it difficult to see out of at times. They said they replaced the motor but they are still not working.

Normal use of sun visor leads to the plastic cracking around the internal support bar. The sun visor slowly starts failing to stay in the full upright position and then eventually will not stay at all. The sun visor will fall to the full down position in the driver's view. The only way to correct the failure is to remove the sun visor completely and replace the entire apparatus. Both the drivers and passenger sun visors are broken. *tr

Passenger seat sun visor broke. By 'broke' I mean that the internal spring mechanism to keep it folded up failed so it now flops down into the line of sight and interferes with visibility. It cannot be folded back up out of visibility, it just keeps flopping straight down. Judging from comments on forums, this is an extremely common problem with Hyundai sedans, and is a big safety hazard, especially if it happens to the driver side visor, because of how it can suddenly fail and interfere with visibility. *tr
