2011 Hyundai Elantra airbags complaints
Page 2 of 4: complaints 11 to 40 of 77, newest first, as owners wrote them.
There was no major or minor incident that would indicate an issue with the airbags. At about 07/10/20 I began to notice my airbag service light would light up after a couple minutes of driving indicating the driver seat airbag would be inoperable; however, the passenger airbag light that typically is lit "off" would not be lit indicating the passenger airbag would be currently operational. In addition I noticed that when I had a passenger the passenger airbag light ("off") would not be lit as designed and my driver seat airbag light would never turn on (indicating it being not operational.) most recently, on 07/25/20 I began to notice that the driver seat airbag would be lit from the moment I turn on the engine. It remains lit for the entirety of the drive and now the passenger side airbag seat will turn on or off spontaneously and having a passenger no longer has an effect on the driver seat airbag light.
Airbag light came on at wont turn off. Shop said the clock spring has to be replaced or the airbag won't deploy in a crash.
The light appeared with no apparent cause. When it initially came on, my husband was driving down a main road. It turns on then will go away, only to turn on again. Called the dealership and they requested I come in for a diagnostic test at $140, and I was asked to drop the vehicle off. Also, this would only be for the test and I would be charged to fix the problem once discovered. This is inconvenient as I have 2 small children and only one vehicle. I do not understand why I am being charged for something that is a safety issue, especially when I have no accidents.
I was driving down the road going 55 MPH and my airbag warning light came on. I didn't hit any large bumps. It comes on for a few minutes and then turns off.
I didn't notice exactly when happened, but basically the air bag light came on and it hasn't left. Most likely the vehicle was moving.
While I was driving on a non-highway street my airbag light turned on. I was not turning, I did not hit any bumps, I have no idea what could have caused it. The light will stay on for a few minutes, then it will shut off and repeat. This has been occurring for about 1 week now.
The airbag light came on and will not go away. I have not gotten into accident nor have the airbags deployed.
The airbag light is on! I've never been in a vehicle accident or a fender bender for the life of the vehicle.I can't get an inspection sticker
Air bag light intermittently appears and goes off on the driver dash.
Airbag light came on when car is started and stays on even while starting to drive. It may come off intermittently while car is motion but mostly remains on. (the only recent work accomplished was an alternator replacement by professional mechanic a week and a half prior.)
Air bag light came on and stays on air bag probably want work and that is a safety feature
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the engine light and air bag light flashed as the brakes had been applied however, the wheels spun unexpectedly and the engine power was reduced resulting into a crash into another vehicle. The air bags had not deployed. The driver sustained no injuries for medical treatment. A police report was filed. The manufacturer had not sent notification that the vehicle was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v871000 (electronic stability control) as of december 21st, 2015 so the owner was not aware. The vehicle was unable to be driven above mid 20 to 5 MPH with a drastic reduction in engine power. The vehicle was towed from the location of the failure and parked because of the failure. A dealer was not contacted yet. The vehicle was rendered unable to be driven due to the failure experienced related to the recall campaign. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was not available. * (recall related incident) ts
The airbag light comes on and off regularly for some days, then finally it stays on permanently. The steering wheel lights doesn't come on when I turn on the headlights. The car bounces and sway to the side each time I hit a pothole no matter how small the pothole is.
'takata recall' (1) suspension problem.. It drifts or bounces to one side when I hit a bump or when I go into a pothole... I have had to take it to different auto mechanics to fix this but haven't gotten any solution.. Changed sway bar links, tie-rods, struts and ball joints, still no improvement. (2) steering issues - steering feels stiff when turning and sometimes makes funny sounds (3) clunking noise in front right side of car
Yesterday, february 8th 2019, at approximately 5:30 am, my girlfriend had a high speed impact (speed limit in this area of alaska is 65mph) with a moose. It was a frontal impact on the bumper/hood/windshield/roof, occuring on the front drivers side. The airbags failed to deploy upon this initial impact. Additionally, as the car left the road, there was a second frontal impact into a hardened, plowed snowbank, in which the airbags also failed to deploy. This year and model is believed to be equipped with drivers, passengers, and side curtain airbags, which all failed to deploy. She is the original owner of the vehicle, and has no other accidents or repairs previously performed on the vehicle. We do not know as of yet if a state trooper report was filled, we will be checking monday. However, we have photos that will be attached that clearly show the,airbag failure.
Airbag warning light keeps going off
Airbag light stays on. No accidents, nothing has happened to car it just randomly turned on and has stayed on. Very unsafe to be driving in a car with my family with the chance the airbags wouldn't deploy if we were in an accident. Should be a recall.
While driving my air bag light keeps blinking and my horn stopped working. Research shows that it is related to the steering column and the part that is defective is called a clock spring? This should be covered by recall?
Air bag light came on and wont turn off.
Takata recall: we have have taken the car to get inspected due to engine light coming on and off and have had to make payments about different fixes that would apparently help only to notice no change and the light would come back within days or weeks and come on and off . There is a sudden change in the way the vehicle drives after the light comes on, and then goes away. This normally happened in freeways.
Takata recall my airbag light stays on constantly and it seems to be an issues ybat is covered by warranty although my dealer quoted me $385
My 2011 elantra has no any accident, but the airbag light keep on.
Airbag is on I receive a letter saying there is warranty for clock spring I took it to the dealer and they check the car whatever they did doesn't turn off the light they told me if I want this to get fixed I have to pay to make sure what it is.1000s of people has the same problem should be free and recall
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.
Got my 2011 hyundai elantra in 2017 at 94k miles. Air bag light is continuously illuminated, ESC light had been on for approx. 6-8 weeks. Also, none of the controls on the steering wheel work. None of the controls have worked since I got the car. No cruise control, I can't reset my trip odometer, I can't control the volume for my radio, nor can I control the bluetooth for my hands free usage. Was told by dealership that there would be a fee to have this problem looked at, but saw a hyundai mechanic by chance in a gas station and was told that my clock spring could be faulty. This is an issue, especially for commuters like myself. Also, mpg has drastically decreased. Was getting almost 35 mpg, now it's only about 25 mpg.
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
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.
My airbag light has come on a few months ago. This is an extremely common problem in the 2011 hyundai elantra. It is said to be the clockspring. Hyundai wants hundreds of dollars to replace this. The airbags will not deploy if the light is on, making it very dangerous to drive this car. This should be recalled! It is worth nothing that I did not have this problem until after hyundai fixed the ECM recall. The airbag light came on as I drove home from this service.
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.
