The airbag light on my hyundai elantra has been turning on for a couple of minutes when i start the vehicle and then will turn off. After a few more minutes it will happen again as if there is a malfunction with the airbags and the computer is trying to trouble shoot the problem but still finding an error. I would like a follow up to insure that if someone were to hit my vehicle that the airbags would deploy properly.
2013 Hyundai Elantra airbags complaints

Air bag lights has been on for quite some time. Reason: Unknown Engine light is on: Diagnose something dealing with taking on too much fuel Steering wheel: clicking every time I hit a bump or turn the wheel
I have only had this car for three months. Two weeks ago the Air Bag light OFF kept appearing while driving. Then 3 days ago the driver side seat belt locked. It will NOT release. I have read a lot of forums from many others with the same problem from Hyundai cars. The dealership charges 500-1500$ just to fix 1 seatbelt. Its a safety problem as well as fraud.
Certain steering wheel controls -- including the volume controls and bluetooth phone controls -- stopped working. A few months later, more steering wheel controls -- such as other audio and media controls -- stopped working. A year later, the ability to change the steering tension, from comfort to normal to sport, stopped working. Within the past year, the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel have stopped working, and the red airbag light is on continuously. Although hyundai has issued a recall for certain 2011-2014 elantra vehicles, and my vehicle meets that year range and model, the dealership will not cover replacing the airbag clock spring assembly because my VIN does not match their criteria. As such, the dealership has quoted $480 to fix my vehicle's airbag clock spring assembly. If my vehicle experiences the same airbag safety issues that covered vehicles have experienced and which prompted the recall, my vehicle also should be covered under the extended clock spring warranty.
My airbag light came on. I have had no accident. I called the dealer and they want $185 diagnostic fee. Shouldn't airbags and safety be covered by the dealer if no accident has occurred? I am driving without an airbag right now due to no fault of my own. The airbag light just appeared about a week ago.
Air bag sensor just went on fir no reason. Told steering wheel would have to be removed and cost would be close to $400 for entire job. This seems like a defect to me as never had any vehicles with this important safety issue.
Im the original owner of a 2013 hyundai elantra which I just took in to local hyundai dealer for oil change and to also see about getting airbag malfunction warning light checked out...they told me there is no recall issued on this car......how can that be with something as dangerous as that?
My air bag light turned on a few months ago. At first, it was when I was only turning my steering wheel or when I was in park. Now, it's always on. I have seen this issue so often and for it to be such a common issue and not recalled is very disappointing. This is a huge safety issue and can be fatal if I were to be in an accident because my air bag wouldn't deploy properly.
2013 hyundai elantra. Consumer writes in regards to tire mobility kits safety recall. *ld the consumer stated the dealer advised the recall expired. The airbag light was on.
I was in motion and my emergency brake did not work . I continue down hill and to avoid on coming traffic,,I turn to the right to hit the fence. My air bags never open. Tha k god I always were my seat belts.
Srs air bag light stays on all the time. Same issue as described in so many other complaints. 70,000 miles on vehicle.
Airbag light gos on and off
Every time I turn the vehicle on my air bag light comes on. Some times stay on all the time and some times it goes off and on while I'm driving.
Airbag warning light came on for no reason while I was driving and remains on. I called dealership and was told I would have to pay $169.00 just to diagnose the problem. Reading the other complaints on this website it appears gt has the same airbags as other elantras but is not on recall for this part? Why not? Isn't this a safety issue?
The airbag light came on and I got it diagnosed and it was the clock spring. The clock spring needed to be replaced and the tech said that the clock spring itself wasnt broken, just that it shorted out. This should be covered under the warranty since this is a safety issue. I googled this problem before I got it fixed and there was a consensus that elantra have an issue with the clock spring. Hyundai did a partial recall of elantra within 2011-2014 for this issue, but my vehicle wasn't included in this recall.
On monday when I started my car I realized my airbag light on my dashboard was on alerting me that my airbags are deactivated and won't deploy. My car has never been in an accident and the airbags have never deployed. It is unsettling that I have to drive around without airbags because I can not afford to pay over 100$ to fix the problem and there is no recall even though my car is not the first hyundai to have this problem. This is a safety issue.
The driver side airbag indicator light period comes on and off while driving. Even though there has been no accidents.
Airbag warning light came on while I was driving the vehicle and has remained on since light was initially illuminated.
Airbag light stays on constantly. Car has not been in an accident
Steering wheel makes a clicking sound every time it is moved and shakes violently when trying to stop the vehicle. The air bag light will not go off.
The airbag light on the dashboard of my car goes on and off as I'm driving or when the car is not in motion. Apparently this is due to the clock spring needing to be replaced. Several hyundais have had this problem so hyundai extended its warranty for certain models. The 2013 elantra sedan is covered under this warranty, however, they failed to include the gt model. The gt model has the exact same part with the exact same issues, therefore it should be included under the warranty. This is a terrible safety issue since my airbags will not deploy if I get into a collision.
My airbag light randomly turned on while driving on a city street and won't turn off
The airbag lights wont turn off.
Air bag light wont go off... And seat belt fell out of the adjuster
The clock spring contact assembly for the driver's air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) has become damaged through usage over time. The driver's air bag electrical circuit experiences a high resistance condition, causing the driver's air bag to not deploy. The clock spring develops high resistance, in the event of a crash, the drivers air bag will not deploy and will not be able to properly protect the driver, increasing the risk of injuries. Hyundai has issued a recall/tsb for the 2013 hyundai elantra sedan, but not the hatchback which utilizes the exact same part. The repair cost is almost $500 at the dealer and because the repair involves removing the airbag and removing the steering wheel it poses a safety risk for shade tree mechanics. The attached tsb should also apply to the elantra hatchback as well,
Airbag light remains on, bags have never deployed; known issue with elantras - how is this not a recall?
Air bag light came on and buttons on steering wheel no longer work. Many other elantra owners have made complaints about this but nothing has been done. They want me to pay to fix a safety issue with the air bags and it happened before I hit 60000 but couldn't get in until later so they used that to not fix it on there on dime.
Srs light illuminated while driving on a city street. Obd has determined that the driver's front airbag clock spring has failed. Vehicle has 72,175 miles. This part is a known high failure item and the warranty has been extended to 15 years for 2011-2013 sonata, 2011-2014 sonata hybrid and 'certain' 2011-2014 elantra. The warranty extension does not cover my 2013 elantra gt.
The air bag warning light is on im not going to pay close to 300$ for a safety fix there are plenty of the same models with the same issue, a bad clockspring! Never went over any bumps never any railroads just started it one day and it was on.
The airbag light stays on. They have recalls and or manufacturers extended warranty for other hyundai elantra's, but not for 2013 hyundai elantra gt? This is a serious safety issue and I am placing a complaint because this should be covered and not an expense to owner of the car. It's extremely dangerous and could cause serious harm with such a default. All hyundai's having this issue, should be covered under extended warranty, not just some.
