2011 Hyundai Elantra Air Bags

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO AWAY. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN INTO ACCIDENT NOR HAVE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. TECHNICIANS BELIEVE THAT IT IS A DEFECT WITH THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR HAD BEEN ILLUMINATED SINCE OCTOBER 2, 2014. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ACTION HYUNDAI IN MILLVILLE, NEW JERSEY WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE ALLOWABLE MILEAGE TO HAVE THE REPAIRS PERFORMED FOR FREE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

AIRBAG WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ON CONTINUOUSLY. I HAVE 10 YEAR WARRENTY. I WANT OR HOPE IT'S COVERED. I HAVE MAINTAINED MY CAR PROPERLY. AS HYUNDAI RECORDS SHOW.

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON ON A LOT OF THIS MODEL VEHICLES. DEALERS WANT TO CHARGE A LOT OF MONEY TO CHECK AND FIX. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. THIS LIGHT COMES ON UNEXPECTED DRIVING OR JUST STATIONARY. AND THE POSSIBILITY OF THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING IS AN ISSUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (HYUNDAI OF CONCORD, 1051 BURNETT AVE, CONCORD CA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

MY 2011 ELANTRA HAS NO ANY ACCIDENT, BUT THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEP ON.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON.

TAKATA RECALL: THREE WEEKS AGO THE WARNING LIGHT FOR MY AIR BAG STARTED GOING ON AND OFF. LAST WEEK THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STILL ON ALL THE TIME.TODAY I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND AFTER THE SCAN THE PROBLEM IN HIS COMPUTER, HE FOUND A PROBLEM IN A ELECTRONIC COMPONENT OF THE AIR BAG CIRCUIT, HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG IN THAT MODEL. THE PROBLEM BEGUN WHEN THE CAR WAS MOVING ON CITY STREET. I TRY TO REPORT IT DIRECTLY TO TAKATA RECALL BUT EVERY TIME I TRIED, THE COMPUTER DOES NOT RECOGNIZE MY HYUNDAI VIN NUMBER.

TAKATA RECALL AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON AND IT SOUNDS LIKE ALLOT OF PEOPLE HAVING SAME PROBLEM. WE LITERALLY TURNED THE CAR ON AND IT LIT UP AND HASN'T SHUT OFF. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT SWITCHED ON SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. AFTER DISCUSSION WITH THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, WHICH COSTS AROUND $300. IF THIS IS NOT REPLACED, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE CASE OF A COLLISION. BASED ON MY OWN RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST HYUNDAI ELANTRA WITH RECENTLY EXPIRED WARRANTIES. SINCE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY SYSTEM DEFECT AND SHOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE UNDER RECALL.

I HAVE RECEIVE A LEGAL NOTICE FOR OWNERS OF VEHICLES WITH TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS. MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS INDICATE THE EITHER ONE OR BOTH OF MY AIRBAGS ARE NOT WORKING. I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I NEED TO DO NEXT TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

THE CRUISE CONTROL QUIT WORKING, AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON, AND RADIO PRESET CHANNELS OFTEN ARE ERASED. OUR MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM BEING A MALFUNCTIONING CLOCK SPRING.

AIR BAG LIGHTS RANDOMLY CAME ON AND OFF. THEN STAYED ON. I WAS TOLD TO REPORT THIS CAUSE IT SHOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE OR BE UNDER RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG SENSOR INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH INDICATED A POSSIBLE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG SYSTEM FAILURE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

AIR BAG INDICATOR WILL NOT GO OFF INDICATING THAT THE VEHICLE AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. WIRES AND CLOCK SPRING ARE ALL OK. AS I WAS RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, I REALIZED THAT MANY 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA DRIVERS REPORT THE SAME COMPLAINT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE MAIN DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING SENSOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITH A NEW CLOCK SPRING SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,550...UPDATED 04/11/17 *BF UPDATED 10/13/2017*JS

2 DAYS AGO, 05/31/2017, THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AT VEHICLE START AND TURNED OFF DURING THE DRIVE. 06/01/2017, THE SAME LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND STAYS ON. 06/02/2017, I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO CHECK THE CLOCK SPRING. DEALER NOTIFIED ME OF BOTH FAILED CLOCK SPRING AND FAILED AIRBAG UNIT AND ADVISED A WARRANTY FIX FOR THE CLOCK SPRING AND $700 REPAIR FOR THE AIRBAG. THIS CAR IS 6 YEARS OLD AND THE AIRBAG UNIT DOESN'T JUST UP AND QUIT WORKING ALL OF A SUDDEN. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I URGE NHTSA TO RESEARCH AND CALL FOR A RECALL, OTHERWISE OWNERS ARE PAYING EXORBITANT AMOUNTS OF MONEY FOR A REPAIR OF SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T FAIL EVER.

AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT HAS COME ON SHORTLY AFTER 110K MILES, THIS DISABLES THE SYSTEM. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS OR HAD ANY ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR CAUSING THE DRIVER TO CRASH INTO A UTILITY POLE. DURING THE CRASH, THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END BUT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUFFERED A CONCUSSION, NECK AND BACK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN AT THE SCENE. NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES OFF AND ON. DEALER STATES THE CLOCKSPRING IS BAD. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. ALSO FOUND OUT WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE CLOCKSPRING.

AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY IS LIT UP. I STARTED THE CAR ONE DAY AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A GARAGE AND IT CANNOT BE RESET. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIR BAG CHECKSPRING IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY TYPE OF CRASH. THE MECHANIC STATED THIS SHOULD BE A WARRANTY/RECALL ITEM AS IT SHOULDN'T JUST GO BAD.

MY HYUNDAI ELANTRA WAS IN THE PARKING LOT, AS I TURNED ON THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO DROP OF THE VEHICLE TO GET IT DIAGNOSED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT THE COSTS WOULD BE $250. SHOULDN'T AIRBAG SAFETY BE COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY? THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. IT WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT! PLEASE HELP!

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V115000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR WILL NOT TURN OFF AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THERE IS NO PASSENGER. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND I CONTACTED HYUNDAI, ROUND ROCK, TX, FOR SOME INFORMATION FOR WHICH THEY WERE UNABLE TO RELAY TO ME WITHOUT THEM HAVING TO COMPUTER ANALYZE FOR AN EXTREME COST. I FEEL ANYTHING TO DO WITH A SAFETY CONCERN SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND ANALYZED WITHOUT A CHARGE. PLEASE ADVISE WITH YOUR UNDERSTANDING. THANK YOU. *TR

IN MY 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. THIS SEEMED LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE AND SO I TOOK IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AND THEY QUOTED ME $300.00 TO REPLACE THE CLOCK SPRING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE NOTICED THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND THAT I AM DEFINITELY NOT THE ONLY HYUNDAI ELANTRA CAR OWNER THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. WITHOUT THE $300.00 TO REPLACE THE CLOCK SPRING, THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISON. HOW IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEREFORE NOT ON A RECALL LIST?
