On December 5th, 2020 at approximatly 0645am I was driving my Elantra without and iissues or pre-indicators that something very bad was about to happen. I was on a busy road that is traveled all times of the day, getting on interstate 270 in columbus headed West. I estimate (picture included from accident site and where the freeway started) about 1000 feet until I merge onto the well traveled highway. Iwhen I I completed my slight turn associated with this paticular on ramp, I lose control of the vehicle without warning, my car went in two circles. My steering did not work as well as my brakes. I would like to also note that this paticular on ramp also has steady, fast moving traffic from another street merging together before ww all get on the highway. Two cars and a tractor trailor were able to avoid me. I am convinced that only by the grace of god himself was I not seriously hurt or my children in the car with me. My only means to stop was fiannlly the guardrail. I also thank god for this guard rail becaiuse there is a steep embankment with a body of water at the bottom. I estimate at the time of collison I was approaching at least 40 mph. My head hit the drivers side window. No bleeding, just stunned. (nobody stopped btw). When I was able to collect my thoughts and call someone. I was able to call my friend for a ride. He was shocked when he arrived that I was okay. He wanted to go to the er because of the goose egg on my noggin but during a pandemic I think I'll wait. He calls aaa for me and we get the car towed back to my home. It will never be drivable again but in my state of shock it was my most plausible option. Upon, inspecting the car, the tire rod snapped clean off the wheel.
Some time between approximately between 12:00 am and 4:00 am on 2/1/2020, the vehicle caught fire on it's own (it was parked and off) and badly burned our garage/home causing extensive property damage to the garage and interior of our home.
Seat belt light came on around 137K mike's. took to get tested at dealership. Said bad seat buckles on drivers and passenger sides. 147 to test it and 500 to fix. Found out the previous owner already replaced buckles 5 years ago. Called Hyundai directly and they said they can't do anything about it even though there are hundreds of similar reports online.
Ran into the rear end of a stopped vehicle at or about 25mph - straight. The airbags did not deploy and the seatbelt stop did not engage causing driver's chest to hit the steering wheel.

My airbag light is on and won't go off, so I looked into it and it can cause the bags to deploy at any given time or not at all. This is very unsettling, and not safe. Please recall this.

My check engine light has come on & has been on since Sunday. I got online where it told me that there has been recalls on this car over the airbags malfunctioning. I done the VIN search & it told me that the recall is incomplete on my car what do I need to do to get this fixed?? I am pregnant & getting ready to have my baby & don't want to be going down the road & maybe have an accident due to this issue.
The air bag light came on in my 2007 Hyundai Elantra. When I took it to the dealership, they said that there was some kind of electrical failure in the driver's side buckle assembly. I have heard of similar issues in 2006-2008 sonatas. I am concerned that this may be a factory defect.
My airbag lights came on and I took it to the dealer. It took them over two hours to find the problem: The entire floor harness is corroded from some sort of "meltdown" and needs to be replaced. Cost = $4800. I feel this is a major design flaw in the vehicle and Hyundai should replace the floor harness as a goodwill warranty issue. There is no way a 6 year old car with only 35,000 miles on it should be experiencing this kind of problem! this is a major safety issue as right now I am forced to drive the vehicle with air bags non-functional.
