Air bag light will not turn off so I’m not sure if the air bags work. Oil is going missing from the car causing it to suddenly shut down. It also makes the rpm’s go really high (close to 5,000) when trying to go up hills or accelerate. I don’t see a leak, or puddles under the car, nor black smoke.

Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
For more than two years, at irregular intervals, the passenger air bag light on the front panel blinks and the associated chime sounds for about two minutes, then stops. This happens with no passenger in the seat. I have asked the dealer (Fitzgerald Hyundai in Rockville, MD) several times to look into this. My concern is that if the air bag alarm cannot be trusted when there is no passenger, how can it be trusted to work when it needs to? This seems to me to be an unsafe condition. The dealership stated that since the problem occurs intermittently, they cannot determine a cause, and advised me to contact Hyundai Motor America and would likely meet with a representative. I contacted the company in July, and was designated Case No. [XXX]. Over the next two months, in several email communications with "[XXX]," I was informed that I should take the car to another dealer. I noted that given the intermittent nature of the problem, there was no reason to believe another dealer would have better luck replicating and resolving the issue. That was the total of Hyundai Motor America's help. I terminated the case last month. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

O whom it may concern, my son was in an accident this past tuesday 4/3/18 where he reared end another vehicle.. The air bag light came on but the air bags never deployed. It was enough damage to total the car.. Aprox 9-12 thousand dollars in damage.. Luckily no one was injured but I am very concerned about the air bags not deploying. The adjuster from the insurance company also was wondering why they did not deploy. I have read there is some issues with the 2017 elantra and airbags not deploying correctly but not sure if applies to this situation I would like someone to review the damage and give me some kind of idea why the air bags did not deploy..
