Ioniq 5's yellow air bag wire/harness underneath driver seat has design flaw, many other owners are noticing. In my case the cables are touching the floor, it's a hazard.

Ioniq 5 is known to have a loose and possibly dangling wire underneath the driver seat. This wire is often uncovered and unshielded, and is susceptible to becoming damaged due to the automatic seats and adjustments. This wire directly operates the airbag and if damaged loses all functionality. Hyundai is not covering any damage to this wire under warranty, and this poses an immediate threat to anyone driving their vehicle.
