Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2009 Hyundai Elantra

Air bag light went on and stayed lit after starting car, begining in October 2018. Problem seemed intermittent; stayed off after start up when there was weight in passenger seat. Took to local mechanic and a diagnosis was ran. Codes showed either the battery or the passenger air bag sensor. Had the 3 1/2 year old battery replaced to rule that out. No air bag light issue for about ten days, but problem began again. A few more weeks pass and the air bag light is on at all times. I understand that the air bags will not deploy when that light is on. I was told by hyundi that air bag problems would be paid by them, but not for related sensor issues. Seems the sensor is equally as dangerous. No air bags, are no air bags. I bought the car (used) because of its high safety ratings for my two teens to drive. I think any item effecting the air bags should be recalled ASAP. Thank you for your research into this issue.

The contact owned a 2009 Hyundai Elantra. While driving approximately 35 mph, the driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a ditch. During the crash, the vehicle sustained significant damage and was destroyed. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was towed. The driver sustained head trauma, which required medical attention. A police report was filed. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 113,000.

In January 2017 I was involved in a accident. I hit another car in the rear at 65 mph. The air bag failed to deploy I have been trying to get information from hyundia for over two years and they will not give any information they finally looked at my vehicle and said that the air bag failed to deploy because it was not designed to deploy in that type of accident . I assume there is a manufacture design problem. I was traveling on the freeway and a young girl crossed four lanes of traffic right in front of me and I hit her dielectric in the rear at 65 mph. Hyundia would provide me any documentation to confirm there assessment I am a texas licensed insurance appraiser and have a lot of experience with accident reconstruction. I believe this is a serious manufacture design problem and should be investigated. I have saved the car for inspection if needed. I was permanent disabled in the accident and hyundia wwill do nothing.

Airbag light is constantly on, indicating a failure. On further discovery, it is a known issue with the referenced model for the passenger seat occupant sensor to fail. The car does not recognize when a passenger is in the passenger seat and when not, causing an airbag fault and possibly failing to deploy airbag in an accident. The replacement part exceeds $2000 (remedy is to replace the seat).
