general problems of the 2009 Hyundai Elantra

I backed into my driveway, placed the vehicle in park and as I was setting the parking break the drivers side airbag deployed. The vehicle was still running.

Air bag light is on as soon as car power on until it turns off passenger airbag is off I dont know if my airbags will deploy if I get in an accident . While driving steady speed of 50-60 mph while pressing gas sometimes it doesn’t increase speed but instead jerks until I let go of the gas and then depress it again it happenes maybe 2-3 times during a drive .

March 26, 2024 hello; 2009 Hyundai Elantra touring VIN# kmhdc86e09u040249 on March 00, 2024, I while driving on a very icy slippery road to do low temperatures and the city not salting the roads like they should have! I was going approximately 22 mph & somehow I lost control of my car & slammed into a light pole & the whole entire front end of my car was destroyed! meanwhile, none of the airbags deployed & I slammed into the steering wheel! I had my seatbelt on & it immediately locked up on me & someone had to cut me out of the seatbelt! I was transported to the hospital emergency, while my car was towed to "e. End auto" @ 64 10th Ave. Dickinson, nd I suffered severe injuries such as back & neck injuries, 4 bruised ribs & horribly severe bruises to my left eye & scars! as soon as I possibly could I contacted "e end auto" to find out what to do next & they informed me that the tow charges were approximately $700 & that was less than a 2-mile tow! additionally each day the car sat in their storage lot it was $75 per day! it took me a few days to get a ride to get to my car due to pain and suffering, which I'm still experiencing terribly!! so, by the time I got to my car it had been there approximately 3 to 4 days & my bill was over $1,000! I spoke with the owner & pleaded & begge him if he could possibly offer me something for my car since it was obviously totaled out! he said absolutely no & that if I gave him the title to my car he would zero out the bill! so unfortunately hesitantly I had no choice, so I signed over the title! this business used to take vehicles that were wrecked & part them out. Unfortunately, they do not do that any longer & my car would soon be transferred to the salvage yard & be crushed! I don't understand what could have happened! I'm asking with all due respect and consideration if this matter can be looked into please?! thank you.

My car is having the same problem that the 2009 Elantra sedan is having. My air bag warning light recently came on while I was driving and does not go off. I am concerned that my air bags will not go off in an accident.

The contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light intermittently illuminated. Additionally, the passenger's side air bag light failed to illuminate while a passenger was seated in the passenger's side front seat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and an independent mechanic, where the air bags software was reset; however, the failure recurred. The dealer confirmed that the air bags were takata brand air bags. The independent mechanic determined that the air bag sensors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 146,000.

Just bought this used 2009 hydunai Elantra. Dealer asking for 1400 to replace airbag module. Car was never in an accident. Is there any compensation for this or can it be reset also brought car over to lester glenn toms river NJ for recall on antilock brakes. They didn’t have part which means tying up car again. Why don’t they have recall parts readily available. Can u make an suggestion can’t afford that air bag module.

On June 20th, 2022 my daughter was pulling into a parking space in the king of prussia mall in pennsylvania. Just before she turned the ignition off, both the driver's and passenger's side airbags deployed. There was no collision involved. Attached photos were taken immediately after to prove this. The vehicle was inspected by an independent inspector hired by Hyundai approximately 3 weeks later. According to Hyundai, there was front frame damage (this may have been from a February 2018 collision). Hyundai is covering up a serious potential safety issue by taking this position. Why frame damage from a 2018 collision be a material factor to this mishap? if this uncommanded airbag deployment happened while my daughter was driving at speed, she could have been in a serious accident. This vehicle is untouched and it is available for inspection. I encourage a NHTSA inspector to come look at the vehicle. Hyundai's refusal to take responsibility to find the root cause of this mechanical failure is reprehensible.

While driving smoothly, suddenly the dash airbag warning light came on and has stayed on now for some time. That apparently signals that airbag will not deploy in an accident and is a clear safety issue. This should be a recall issue. Rg.

My son was driving to church on a city street and both driver and passenger airbags had deployed and seat belts stopped working.

Srs light came on (airbag) when vehicle moving or stationary, contact dealer and oem for problem but no help. Dealer is asking more than $100 for just reading codes.
