    This literally blows. Since Sonatas are involved, I'm guessing eventually Optimas will be too. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-autos-recall/u-s-probes-air-bag-failures-in-deadly-hyundai-kia-car-crashes-idUSKCN1GT0HD

    Hello friends, My very recently out of warranty 2012 Optima SX started throwing up an Airbag CEL about a month ago. I noticed that the passenger occupied airbag light was not coming on when a person was in the seat. I assumed this was likely the seat sensor or perhaps cabling. I made sure all...

    All I've found is videos and images to remove the 2013 and older airbags. The videos/images I have seen have 2 holes on the sides and one at the bottom to stick a screwdriver in to release the clips. My steering wheel does not have these holes :\ Anyone done this yet? Thanks in advance.

    I only found one thread on this topic and it consisted of some guys arguing that it should stay to keep people safe... Anyway. Has anyone tried removing these stickers and if so, did it mess up the visors? They seem to be pretty stuck in the mesh cloth of the visor and I don't want to pick at...

    I noticed my airbag check light (ABS) is on on my dash (just above the light indicators). A fault code is not found when I run the diagnostics on the Torque app either so it looks like a dealer will need to clear it. I also noticed that the seatbelt light underneath the center console (just...

    So my airbag light has been lit for about 2 weeks now, anyone heard of this happening? Car has 9k miles on it since jan 1st. I have put the car back to stock to take it in to dealer. I have/had just a cone filter and the brtcc tune, which I have reset several times and it hasn't made a...

    Hi Guys, Can anyone tell me how easy or difficult it is to remove the steering wheel badge, or does most people do the easier "stick it on top" trick?
