Hyundai Repair: Air Baf Replacement, air bag deployment, clock spring


Question
Hello, Im thinking about purchasing a used Tiburon.  I  just wanted to know how much it would cost me to replace the Front Passenger and Driver airbags or if you can direct me somewhere where I can find out, Its a 2005 model.

Answer
If these air bags have deployed, you probably aren't interested.  Per Hyundai, in an air bag deployment, the following items need to be replaced:
1.  Deployed air bags
2.  SRS control module
3.  SRS wiring harness
4.  Any seat belt whose pretensioner has deployed
5.  Any seat belt and buckle which was worn in collision
6.  Clock spring

You should expect these repairs to be in the range of several thousands of dollars.  The seats and dash will need to be removed to replace the harness, resulting an a quite large labor charge.  You can call your local dealer to estimate the parts prices.  They'll vary quite a bit by geographic location.
