Air Bag Light On Problems of Hyundai Elantra - part 1

Air bag light is on constantly. Started as an intermittent problem, but now it is on constantly. I am not sure if the air bags will work and had conflicting answers from the local car dealership. I noticed there have been several complaints about air bag light.

My airbag light came on. I have had no accident. I called the dealer and they want $185 diagnostic fee. Shouldn't airbags and safety be covered by the dealer if no accident has occurred? I am driving without an airbag right now due to no fault of my own. The airbag light just appeared about a week ago.

The airbag light won't go off now after my battery died and was re-charged. I've been inform that the issues is something with the clock spring. Most other Elantras from this time period are covered under an extended air bag clock spring warranty and I believe the same extended warranty should be applied to my touring. Thanks!.

At about 100,000 miles logged on the car, the airbag light came on. It would sometimes turn off during bumps but, ultimately, it came back on and stayed on. The mechanic said that the pin and airbag were bad. They aren't sure of the cause or how it happened but the repair (parts and labor) is well over $1000. There doesn't seem to be a recall related to this and it's not covered by the warranty, as far as I can tell. The airbag issue does not seem to have been caused by anything specific that happened while driving the vehicle.

My passenger side airbag light is on.

My air bag light turned on a few months ago. At first, it was when I was only turning my steering wheel or when I was in park. Now, it's always on. I have seen this issue so often and for it to be such a common issue and not recalled is very disappointing. This is a huge safety issue and can be fatal if I were to be in an accident because my air bag wouldn't deploy properly.

The airbag light came on and I got it diagnosed and it was the clock spring. The clock spring needed to be replaced and the tech said that the clock spring itself wasnt broken, just that it shorted out. This should be covered under the warranty since this is a safety issue. I googled this problem before I got it fixed and there was a consensus that Elantra have an issue with the clock spring. Hyundai did a partial recall of Elantra within 2011-2014 for this issue, but my vehicle wasn't included in this recall.

The driver side airbag indicator light period comes on and off while driving. Even though there has been no accidents.

There was no major or minor incident that would indicate an issue with the airbags. At about 07/10/20 I began to notice my airbag service light would light up after a couple minutes of driving indicating the driver seat airbag would be inoperable; however, the passenger airbag light that typically is lit "off" would not be lit indicating the passenger airbag would be currently operational. In addition I noticed that when I had a passenger the passenger airbag light ("off") would not be lit as designed and my driver seat airbag light would never turn on (indicating it being not operational. ) most recently, on 07/25/20 I began to notice that the driver seat airbag would be lit from the moment I turn on the engine. It remains lit for the entirety of the drive and now the passenger side airbag seat will turn on or off spontaneously and having a passenger no longer has an effect on the driver seat airbag light.

Since the day I purchased this car with zero miles it would randomly cut off and it would do that even when in drive like it wasnt getting gas. It would not turn over then after 20-30 min it would start right back up and this started right away and has done that ever since. I also had the O2 censor replaced as well. The tires are awful the suspension is even worse then my air bag light cut on out of nowhere and now my steering column is totally messed up. Directly behind the airbag. It clacks back n forth as you move the steering wheel even ever so slightly. If I hit my brakes the wheel shakes and the column rattles and clacks, if I go over bumps in the road or rr tracks same thing, the entire steering wheel shakes violently and rattles and clanks. I have been told by three different shops that this is a common issue with this car and design. The steering column was poorly designed and is going to break if I dont have it replaced. The cost to have this done is almost $1000 and it shouldnt be an issue I have to pay for bc of the poor design. There has been nothing done to the car on my end to cause this and I need help ASAP bc its my only car and I do not have $1000 to pay to fix a bad steering column that shouldnt be breaking to begin with!.

Air bag light wont go off. . . And seat belt fell out of the adjuster.

Air bag light on all the time.

I didnt notice exactly when happened, but basically the air bag light came on and it hasnt left. Most likely the vehicle was moving.

While I was driving on a non-highway street my airbag light turned on. I was not turning, I did not hit any bumps, I have no idea what could have caused it. The light will stay on for a few minutes, then it will shut off and repeat. This has been occurring for about 1 week now.

Certain steering wheel controls -- including the volume controls and bluetooth phone controls -- stopped working. A few months later, more steering wheel controls -- such as other audio and media controls -- stopped working. A year later, the ability to change the steering tension, from comfort to normal to sport, stopped working. Within the past year, the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel have stopped working, and the red airbag light is on continuously. Although Hyundai has issued a recall for certain 2011-2014 Elantra vehicles, and my vehicle meets that year range and model, the dealership will not cover replacing the airbag clock spring assembly because my VIN does not match their criteria. As such, the dealership has quoted $480 to fix my vehicle's airbag clock spring assembly. If my vehicle experiences the same airbag safety issues that covered vehicles have experienced and which prompted the recall, my vehicle also should be covered under the extended clock spring warranty.

Airbag light came on at wont turn off. Shop said the clock spring has to be replaced or the airbag won't deploy in a crash.

One day I noticed that my steering wheel was loose and it was making a clicking noise. One another occasion, while I was driving, my vehicle I noticed that all of a sudden the airbag light came on. I thought that it was a minor electrical malfunction (because my flat tire light has been on for years and I never know when I really have a flat), so I ignored it until I went to use my horn to alert an approaching vehicle of my presence, and it didn't work. It hasn't worked properly since. If I use my keys to lock the door it will beep, but if I attempt to use the horn itself I get nothing.
