Yesterday, February 8th 2019, at approximately 5:30 am, my girlfriend had a high speed impact (speed limit in this area of alaska is 65mph) with a moose. It was a frontal impact on the bumper/hood/windshield/roof, occuring on the front drivers side. The airbags failed to deploy upon this initial impact. Additionally, as the car left the road, there was a second frontal impact into a hardened, plowed snowbank, in which the airbags also failed to deploy. This year and model is believed to be equipped with drivers, passengers, and side curtain airbags, which all failed to deploy. She is the original owner of the vehicle, and has no other accidents or repairs previously performed on the vehicle. We do not know as of yet if a state trooper report was filled, we will be checking Monday. However, we have photos that will be attached that clearly show the,airbag failure.

Airbag light comes on on a lot of this model vehicles. Dealers want to charge a lot of money to check and fix. I believe this should be a safety recall. This light comes on unexpected driving or just stationary. And the possibility of the airbags not deploying is an issue.

My airbag light has come on a few months ago. This is an extremely common problem in the 2011 Hyundai Elantra. It is said to be the clockspring. Hyundai wants hundreds of dollars to replace this. The airbags will not deploy if the light is on, making it very dangerous to drive this car. This should be recalled! it is worth nothing that I did not have this problem until after Hyundai fixed the ecm recall. The airbag light came on as I drove home from this service.

Airbag warning light comes off and on. Dealer states the clockspring is bad. After doing some research there are a lot of complaints regarding this problem. Also found out when the airbag light is on the airbag will not deploy if there was an accident. There should be a recall on the clockspring.

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph, another vehicle crashed into the rear causing the driver to crash into a utility pole. During the crash, the vehicle sustained significant damage to the front end but the air bags did not deploy. The driver suffered a concussion, neck and back injuries that required medical attention. A police report was taken at the scene. No further information was available. The vehicle was towed and the cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

In my 2011 Hyundai Elantra, the airbag light is constantly on. This seemed like a safety issue and so I took it to the Hyundai dealership that I purchased the car from and they quoted me $300. 00 to replace the clock spring. After doing some research, I have noticed this is an ongoing issue with this car and that I am definitely not the only Hyundai Elantra car owner this has happened to. Without the $300. 00 to replace the clock spring, the air bags will not deploy in the event of a collison. How is this a safety issue and therefore not on a recall list?.

There is an issue with the airbag light in the main dash console staying on. Was concerned airbags would not deploy in accident. Had vehicle serviced at dealership. Dealership informed me that the clock spring in the steering wheel is too tight/defective and there is a 50/50 chance airbags will deploy in an accident. My vehicle just went out of bumper to bumper warranty. If there is any question that the airbags will not deploy due to this manufacturing issue then I believe it should be covered under a recall.

Driver of our car, the Hyundai Elantra touring, slowed to about 20-25 mph to let a car in front of us turn into a driveway. Driver of a Honda crv traveling behind us at about 45-50 mph did not slow and slammed into the back of us. Front seat passenger hit her head on the dashboard resulting in a bruise and black eye and whiplash because seat belt did not restrain her, and airbags did not deploy. Driver's seat slid backwards, loosening his seatbelt. He he hit his hip and knee on the door and experienced whiplash.

2011 Hyundai Elantra touring. Attorney representing consumer writes in regards to front and side airbags did not deploy during accident. Prior to the accident, the air bag light illuminated. The dealer informed the consumer, it was an electrical problem, and claimed the problem was resolved. The lawyer first became aware of a recall, after reading an article in the newspaper. However, the consumer never received a recall notice.

Vehicle spun and hit guard rail on interstate 90 head on , then also on right side but the air bags never deployed!!! we had previous accidents involving both a 2005 sonata and 2007 Elantra in which the air bags also failed to deploy. In fact, the insurance company for the 2005 accident spent almost $10,000 to repair the car rather than total it and specifically stated to me that they would have totaled the vehicle had the air bags deployed.
