Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
My hyundai elantra is a lemon. I have been having accelerating problems, stalling problems fresh from the lot even before 5,000 miles with my hyundai not accelerating took it to dealer said nothing is wrong with it 5 years ago. It still continues to stall on me! It broke down on me twice in two days in a row. One on 8/8 and 8/9! Could have killed me or others if I took it on the highway. My car has been stalling and I had to pump the break to rev up the engine at the same time while turning! Could have killed us! I am sitting in a lemon! It is not safe on the road at all!! I lost my job because of this and the time it took me to try and get a rental. Hyundai won't let me get a loaner car! I cannot afford uber all the time. All the lights are on. Check engine light too and airbag light. My transmission seems to be slipping too and the double clutch. Crank and cam shaft problems! Headlightw are very dim too. Airbag weight front seat sensor is turning on. Engine is stalling. Slows down! Will not accelerate after 60mph goes super slow down to 55 MPH up hill. I want hyundai manufacturer to pay or I am getting a lemon lawyer and contacting the bbb and the state of arizona.
The air bag warning light randomly comes on disabling the air bags. It seems to turn on when the passenger seat gets moved forward or backward fast. In looking into this, it would appear Hyundais over the years have had this issue. It turns off sometimes when some one sits in the seat.
Had a car accident, airbags did not deploy but the airbag light was on. Insurance inspector said they inflated but did not come out of their housing. The airbags did not deploy upon impact. I attached pictures of the accident to show the airbags did not deploy.
Passenger seat air bag indicator flashes and warning sound indicates seat belt is not buckled when nobody is in the seat. When accelerating, there are multiple hesitations where the car feels like it is in park or neutral. After about 15-30 seconds, the car starts accelerating normally
