Warning Light On Problems of Hyundai Elantra - part 2

Air bag warning light is on and stays on. I went to the dealer and they said the clockspring needs to be replaced. This should be recalled. There are other vehicles affected, not just mine. My friend with a 2011 sonata has the same problem. I don't know why they won't do a recall. . .

Back in 2011, our 2009 Hyundai Elantra airbag light would stay on intermittently when the passenger seat was slid back. The light would go off when the seat was slid forward. Hyundai issued a recall in 2011 adding a cover to a sensor that seemed to fix the issue. Now, July 2015 and the airbag warning light is on and stays on. It started again when I: entered the vehicle, started it up, the airbag light went off. I then dropped two rental dvd movie cases on the passenger seat cushion, the weight of the two meager plastic cases triggered the light to come on the instant the cases landed on the cushion. It has stayed on since.

Airbag warning light is illuminated in instrument cluster. Brought it to the dealer for routine maintenance and had them look into it at that time. They said the weight sensor in the front passenger seat is malfunctioning. This sensor tells the airbag system if someone is sitting in the front seat and whether it should be on or not. The on/off light by the controls appears to be working properly. Meaning if someone is sitting in the seat, the airbag off light is not illuminated. The dealer stated that the sensor is measuring a negative 100+kg. The only way to repair the problem is to replace the sensor which entails replacing the seat bottom. They quoted $1500 to do the job. The airbag system is still working but it takes over 100 kg to turn on the passenger airbag.

The passenger seat weight classification sensor failed and as a result the car shut down the airbag system. The airbag warning light is on and as such none of the airbags will function. The dealer quoted me at nearly $2,000 to fix the problem, and mentioned replacing the entire seat bottom. Requiring a complete seat replacement for a simple sensor seems like a major design flaw. Meanwhile, this really affects the safety of the vehicle as the airbags are not functioning.

1. There were no noticeable events that led up to the failure. Hyundai had a recall on the air bag sensor control module in October 2008 (recall id# 80141 & 80132). I had them install the new wiring harness and clips to prevent a spontaneous failure, but I had a failure none the less. 2. The front driver and passenger seatbelts failed without warning. I heard a loud bang noise and the seatbelts tightened up on both front passengers. I noticed an odor after the event and the seatbelts would not extend or retract and the air bag warning light was illuminated. I understand this safety feature was meant to deploy in the event of an accident, but I didn't hit anything. 3. I took the 2001 Hyundai Elantra in to Hyundai to diagnose the failure. The following codes came up on the computer: b1361, b1360, and b1366. I was told I needed to replace the front seat belts and air bag control module.

Owner of a 2007 Hyundai Elantra (<20,000 miles). Brought it in to dealership 3x for airbag light being on. Now found out the dash and floor wiring harness need to be replaced due to cupholder leaking condensation onto wiring harness and shorting it out, thus disabling the air bag system. Not covered under Hyundai warranty. Exact same problem that was issued a recall for in 2001 Hyundai Elantra model "Hyundai is recalling certain my 2001 Elantra vehicles. If a liquid is spilled in the area of the cupholder on the center console, it may seep through the console opening for the parking brake lever and then drip onto the air bag control module electrical connector. The spilled liquid may contaminate the air bag control module and its electrical connector to the air bag wiring harness and cause the supplemental restraint system (srs) warning light to illuminate.

Two weeks after purchasing this vehicle the air bag warning light came on. I made an appt with fuccillo Hyundai of schenectady NY, the location where I purchased the vehicle, for one week later. Light went off after 3 days and I contacted fucillo and they told me to make another appt if the light came on a again. It did multiple times over the next several months, I made appts, the light went off after a few days, and fucillo Hyundai kept telling me to make another appt if the light came on again. The air bag light did this for months and in early 2010 while in cocoa florida the light illuminated and I visited cocoa Hyundai and they told me not to drive the vehicle if the light came on, the airbags would not work in an accident, they offered me a loaner to drive and they began work on the vehicle within the hour. Light came on after a short period of time, had it in to cocoa Hyundai a second and then yet again a third time over 2 months. The light has been going on and off for the past 3 1/2 years and it has now been on for the past 4 months, I can`t afford to have the vehicle into the shop on a regular basis and would like you to look into this make and model for air bag defects.

Defect of airbag safety equipment. The malfunction of the occupant classification system (OCS) in the right front seat. The purpose of the OCS is to disable the right passenger seat front air bag when it detects the presence of a child restraint system or small child in the right front seat. The right front air bag is disabled to prevent injuries to a child that may result from a right front air bag inflation during a crash. The above is taken from an active recall on another Hyundai model with the same equipment. This was the second time this happened while my wife was seated in the front passenger seat while the vehicle was moving. The warning light came on for no apparent reason and showed the passenger airbag was not active. Common sense would warrant concern about this being same problem as in recall id # 08v161000 - air bags. If you need any further information, please let me know. This should be looked at, as this is serious potential safety issue in the event of an accident.
