2012 Hyundai Elantra airbags complaints
Page 4 of 5: complaints 71 to 100 of 124, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Airbag dash light comes on intermittently.
The air bag light is on and won't turn off
Airbag light on intermittently. The dealer refuses to look into it, unless I pay fee for assessment. I see lot of complaints online regarding 2012 elantra having same problem. Some of them have official recalls, but my VIN doesn't show any recall, so dealer is not looking into it without me paying for it.
All I did was hit a speed bump and my airbag light came on. The car has never been in an accident. There have been a lot of problems reporting the same.
The streing wheel making noise. Sounds like it is going to fall off. It sound like this when driving.
Airbag light is on continuously but is not due to clock spring issues as covered under an extended warranty. Dealer diagnosed the problem as a faulty airbag control module that needs to be replaced. This vehicle has never been in any sort of accident and an airbag system that does not work is not a part of normal wear and tear. This is a serious safety issue that is explicitly hyundai's responsibility.
Takata recall. The air bag light stays on. It is a serious safe issue. It have to be recall to fix.
Trying to figure out how to reset or get the airbag sensor to turn off. It came on for no reason, I was not in a accident. It is faulty. The dealer gave me a repair quote that was ridiculous - over $3000. Lots of people are having this problem (see online), this should be under warranty for at least 5 years. This is a safety feature I thought I would send a message.
There is an active recall campaign on the clockspring for this vehicle. The airbag light will turn on and off while turning the steering wheel while driving. Hyundai charged for a diagnosis which revealed a "b1346 driver airbag resistance too high (1st stage)" code, but they would not replace the clockspring under warranty. On hyundai's own website they describe the reason for the additional warranty as: "the clock spring is an electrical connection which rotates with the steering wheel to maintain proper functioning of the airbag unit. Hyundai's system is designed to illuminate the airbag warning light when electrical resistance increases, which can be contributed to by usage patterns and environmental conditions." and in regards to warranty extension: "hyundai is extending the warranty coverage for the driver's front airbag clock spring assembly to 15 years, unlimited mileage, from the date of original retail delivery or date of first use. This coverage is automatic; there is no action needed on your behalf." I would like hyundai of america to replace the part as promised, as I can't afford to do more diagnostic procedures, and I feel very unsafe driving the vehicle.
Early sunday morning, on march 23, 2013, just three days before I am to have an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (which is the result of a previous auto accident) a drunk driver runs a red light. T-boning our 2012 hyundai elantra. The impact causes the 2012 elantra to spin through the intersection, coming to rest in its original direction on the left side of the street, just a few feet shy of a large tree. No airbags deployed.
In june 2012 a truck making a left turn into oncoming traffic is t-boned by me in a 2012 hyundai elantra. The truck was hit so hard it rocked over onto its driver side wheels before coming to rest on all four. I learned later the impact broke the rear axle. That said, my front airbags did not deploy.
I bought used car with air bag lights on. No accident on the car and air bag light is on. I checked witth my local mechanic and he checked and told me sensor on passenger front seat is bad and need to replace seat
My vehicle was in car accident on 2/13/18, was hit while driving on the street with such a force that the car was pushed across median strip onto on coming traffic. Hitting another vehicle. Which the air bags did not deploy?
Airbag warning light came on as I was driving. It would come on and off at first, but now it stays on the whole time the car is on. Car shakes excessively, especially when idle.
Attempted to switch lanes on the highway at 55mph. Switched lanes successfully, but could not straight the steering back straight, causing crash into concrete barrier! Airbags did not deploy upon impact. Airbags deployed after bouncing back off of the concrete barrier.
It is unacceptable for a vehicle to not cover safety concerns as it is clearly an issue with hyundai's manufacturing.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 hyundai elantra. While driving at unknown speeds, the vehicle jerked and the air bag indicator illuminated. Also, the brake lights failed to work. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (henderson hyundai, 46 n boulder hwy, henderson, nc 89015) where it was diagnosed that the fuel injector was clogged and the vehicle had an oil leak. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 60,000.
Takata recall. Airbag light is on. Looked online and a lot of other people are having this issue.
Airbag light and tire pressure light came on when I turned on my car. It does go off after driving a few minutes, but always comes back on
In my elantra 2012 the light of the airbag is on, the vehicle has not suffered accidents or strong blows, and has followed the maintenance recommended by the manufacturer (following the manual), (95k miles). The dealer says that the airbag light may come on because some of the sensors are damaged; the cost of the repair can range from $ 250 up to $ 3000. With this light on, the airbags will not deploy. Hyundai has a good reputation, and safety should be included in the warranty, especially since the vast majority of elantra owners complain about the same problem. (googling). The solution should be included as a recall.
The clock spring has worn after roughly 55k miles and just being out of warranty. Dealer replacement is $300 and airbags will not deploy without repair. This began after going over rough brick pavers and the light is intermittently on, probably about 80-90% of the time. As I understand it the veracruz and santa fe models had a similar issue a few year prior (11-01-052) and online searches show this is a common issue with (at least) early production elantas. While owner diy replacement is possible, it is not recommended due to SRS system importance as well as lack of ability to recalibrate software.
The airbag light is on. Clay cooley hyundai dealer in rockwall, texas diagnosis was the clock spring needing replacement. Hyundai told me "no dealer in the country has this part right now because of a defect in the part. The manufacturer must make new parts that will not be available until june 2017." I was sent away and told they would call me when parts are available. Meanwhile, my airbags are deactivated and may not deploy in a crash
Airbag light on dash remained on after start, went out for several moments then has remained on. Is remaining on after multiple restarts.
I had my car for a year and 3months and haven't had this problem till now I was driving on the freeway I hit a small bump and I've hit bigger bumps and never ever have my air bag light come on, or break light may go out if I hit a bump this needs to be fixed asap and it shouldn't be a fee this is a safety issue and I'm not happy about it please fix this issue
Air bag warning light is on and stays on. I went to the dealer and they said the clockspring needs to be replaced. This should be recalled. There are other vehicles affected, not just mine. My friend with a 2011 sonata has the same problem. I don't know why they won't do a recall...
All of the issues I am having appear to be involved with the components of/electrical connections to my steering wheel. The red airbag "error" light came on (intermittently at first) about 6 months ago when the vehicle had approx 64k miles on it. Over the next few months, the horn has stopped working (another potentially large safety issue), and the buttons that control the upward volume and radio station browsing have been wavering between working sometimes and not working at all. I did some research about the airbag and horn problems, and there were many stories from other owners of hyundai elantras of various years with the same issues. In addition, their experiences with dealers sounded very much like mine in that they (the dealer(s)) want to charge a sum of money to first inspect the vehicle and then charge for the repair(s). Because the airbag and horn problems are potentially very dangerous, I felt the need to report these concerns. I am attaching a picture that I took with my cell phone on 8/17/16 for reference.
2012 hyundai elantra limited. The airbag warning light appeared randomly at first then remained on constantly. Over time, functionality of all steering wheel mounted controls for cruise control, trip computer, bluetooth, audio system, and horn were lost. I disassembled the steering column to access and remove the air bag clockspring. I tested the connections for continuity with a handheld meter and found none on any terminal. The clock spring failed.
While driving air bag warning light came on. Took car to dealer and they had to replace clock spring. Total cost $429.75.
2012 hyundai elantra limited has 117,400 miles on it and the airbag light won't go off anymore after starting the ignition.
