2012 Hyundai Elantra airbags complaints
Page 3 of 5: complaints 41 to 70 of 124, newest first, as owners wrote them.
So my car all of a sudden started making a strange popping noise while driving the vehicle. Everytime I would turn my steering wheel at a certain angle the wheel would pop. As I drove the car it would continue to make this awful noise until one day im driving down the road and it popped and the steering jerked my car out of the lane . Driving home the wheel was rather stiff and I worried constantly about getting in an accident . My reason for the steering issue is I worry someone will be driving the car and it jerk them into a car coming from the other side of the road which will result in a head on collision. Second issue is the electronical system in general. Everytime I start my car it doesnt start all the way and it dies out mid driving ., I ended up pulling out of an up hill parking lot and not being able to stop the car at the stop sign because the car died out after I had it in drive. I had to pull up and bump the curb in order to stop the car from rolling out into oncoming traffic while leaving the parking lot. I am not sure if its dealing with the ignition in general but that would definatley be a saftey concern. My other issue is the airbag light will not go off. After a certain milage the light came on and I can not get any mechanic to even attempt to fix it over fear of air bag deployment and having to total the vehicle upon repair. I am seriously terrified if I get into a vehicle accident the air bags wont go off at all and it will result in either a really severe injury or even be fatal from airbag failure .
Clicking/thumbing noise when you turn steering wheel either way. Was told steering coupling issue, cost approx. $600 to repair. It looks like numerous people have reported. Should be recalled by now, especially since the dealership states it's a safety issue!! Numerous lights keep going out, was told it was a wiring issue! Airbag light on dash on.
The dashboard airbag light has come on.
The airbag light on my dash came on about a month ago for no apparent reason and I had my car inspected and no codes were shown. The reason for the airbag light is still unknown and I worry that the airbag wont deploy if I get into an accident. I've heard this happening to several different hyundai elantra owners and I think there should be a solution for this common problem.
My airbag light suddenly came on about 2 years ago and hasn't disappeared since. I stays on at all times. I have hear several complaints from other hyundai customers as well. This is a major safety concern and no one will even touch my car for this reason.

On 10/28/19 I was driving when out of nowhere the airbag light on the dashboard turned on after a few minutes it turned off and then it turned back on. I wasn't in any car accident and I'm currently using my car with the light on. On a different occasion, I also have taken the car in for a clinking noise when steering and the dealership swore to never hear the noise now my car is out of warranty and it stills making that noise. It was the same noise it made when the right axle in my car had to be replaced. As well, as changing the harness on my rear lights because the brake lights kept burning out and I was constantly changing them out.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 hyundai elantra. While driving various speeds, the contact noticed that the steering wheel made popping noises and the steering warning indicator illuminated.

The contact settled the matter through the insurance company. The day after the crash, the steering wheel completely seized and the contact was unable to drive the vehicle.

Takata recall. When driving up to 40 MPH my steering wheel starts making some funny noise and it shakes really bad at the same time.
" takata recall" - I got in my car, started it up and the only light that would not go off like it should when you start up the car was the "airbag" light. So I turned off the car, and figured maybe its a fluke and started my car up again and it stayed on. My light for my airbag came on for no reason. I didn't hit anything and didn't run over a pothole. I find it really odd that the light just came on out of the blue. The car didn't even have 94,000 miles on it yet. I'm always telling people how good my car is and how it has airbags for driver, passenger and side curtain airbags. Someone should really check this out. Before this car, I owned a subaru and even though it was a 2002, not once did my airbag light come on and stay on. The yellow light you see on the picture came off with the last recall on my car regarding the electronic engine control system. I took it into the hyundai dealership and they handled the recall, after that the light came off and has stayed off. But the airbag light stayed on.....
Airbag light turned on for no reason.
