I bought it used with 63,000 miles around 11/8/20, everything was going good, and one day I noticed the airbag light was on. Over a the next couple of days, the light would stay on & if I turned my car off and on again, it would turn off but come back on a couple minutes later. I looked it up, and it talked about a possible issue with the airbag system or the airbag sensor. I also noticed that a lot of people had the airbag light issue with their hyundai vehicles, mostly the accent models.
