My air bag light comes on and off randomly while driving. I debated on whether or not to take it back because it wasn't on continuously. They always say we can't duplicate the problem. Well now the air bag light is on continuously and I set up an appointment. They called me and said the computer is showing 12 different codes for the air bags and that they noticed something sticky like pop on the wires. They said they weren't going to cover it under warranty. My first issue with that is they should be sealed off completely so a little pop shouldn't fry the air bag. The only reason I bought my Hyundai was because of the warranty and the assurance that I wouldn't have to worry about anything for 5 years. Unfortunately that isn't the truth. After 6 months or so I realized that I had to start my car for atleast 15 seconds before I could actually put it in drive and go. But why wasn't it like that in the beginning" and after the first year I notice rust behind the passenger doors in near the wheel wells where the car is welded together. That's a real high quality car right there when you have a car that's 10 years older and it doesn't have a spot of rust, that shows quality. What does Hyundai show" not much as far as I am concerned. It shows poor quality and a company that doesn't really stand behind their warranty. Lets not forget the fact that the transmission in the car is horrible. It shifts into second gear so hard and sounds like a canon exploding. The light above the license plate burnt out 2 weeks after they replaced it the first time. And the fact that all the wires inside my doors were corroded after two years and had to be replaced. So, now I have a problem with the airbag module being destroyed and they said I spilled pop or something in the console and that's what caused it. After so many problems with wiring in the car they don't see that this could be legitimately a manufacturer defect in the module. Abl.pco

The vehicle's air bag light illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer three times to alleviate this problem but with no success. The only way the consumer could get the light to go off was to adjust the seat a certain way. December 2004 a recall was issued for air bag light issues. T he consumer was told that her vehicle was not included in the recall because her vehicle was too old. Abl.pco

I was involved in a pretty intensive accident on 2-3-04 and I could have really hurt myself bad and the airbags did not release to save my life. I could have really been hurt, I bought my car based on its safety features and at the time when I need my car to work the most the safety was not there.

There was a spontaneous deployment of the passenger side airbag in our 2001 Hyundai Elantra. The vehicle made a right turn and was in motion, proceeding normally down the road, when the airbag went off; there was no wreck, no bump in the road, no impact of any sort. No one was in the passenger seat at the time, so there were no injuries. There was significant damage to the interior of the car. Abl.pco

We purchased a 2001 Hyundai Elantra GT in Sept. 01. since that time, we've had problems with the air bag sensor twice. Both times it was fixed by the dealer. In our accident, a 35mph front end collision, our air bags did not deploy. We have registered a complaint with Hyundai, who says it will take approx. 30 days to decide whether or not they deem an investigation necessary. The dealership will not deal with us, they say we need to go to Hyundai. In the meantime, we are left with the choice of repairing our vehicle and having Hyundai claim they cannot make a determination of faulty merchandise because our vehicle was fixed, or paying storage fees at the body shop and renting a car until Hyundai decides. And, if Hyundai decides they will not do an investigation, there isn't even an appeal process.

The vehicle was involved in a frontal collision at 30 mph in which the vehicle was also hit on both sides by another motorist. None of the air bags deployed upon impact. As a result the driver sustained injuries to her neck, head, shoulder and hip.
