Air bag dashboard light at first was flashing and now remains on solid every time vehicl is started. This is a common problem with similar models from 2010 to now. This is a serious safety issue that should be handled as a recall instead of leaving the consumer to address the problem.

My airbag light is on and will not go off. I was told it will cost almost $400 to get things fixed. I feel this should be a recall because it's affecting my safety to drive my vehicle.

Takata recall I have recently had my airbag light come on on my car. I have waited a month or two and the light will not go off. I have done numerous amounts of research and found out that this is an extremely popular malfunction with Hyundai sonatas and Hyundai Elantras from the year of 2012. The problem happened right after I rolled over my 100,000 mile warranty so it was covered no longer. This is a safety concern to many people as this is a very popular car. I've had diagnostics done on my car and told it was the clock spring that has malfunctioned. Reviews also have the same malfunction.

The SRS (air bag) indicator remained lit after starting the engine and the startup routine of checking all the systems. That has never stayed on until 6-3-2019, and now it won't go off. I've checked the fuse to the system, checked the seat belt latches, and the connectors. Light still remains lit when the engine is running.

Airbag light has come on randomly. Now it stays on.

- Charleston, WV, USA

My airbag light came on and I called the dealership. They said that this has been happening a lot with Hyundai models and said it was likely due to a "clock spring" and that it would cost me $100 just to evaluate, and then possibly another $350 to fix. The guy I talked to said that my airbag would not deploy until it was fixed. This seems like a serious safety issue that appears to be fairly common.

Intermittent engine light illumination. Happens only after the "vehicle check in progress". car has started to run rough both while accelerating and at a stop. Acts like it will shut off. Having to put the car in neutral and pat the gas to keep it running. There is a tsb for this issue but no active recall. Constant run around at the service centers. They say its normal for it to run rough. Also the rubber steering coupler went bad. Was making a thud noise when steering wheel was turned. Also a tsb for this....no recall. But wait theres more! the clock spring is also bad! tsb for this too! bad clock spring results in the loss of power to the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. When I replaced the steering coupling, I forgot to plug in a wiring harness under the wheel and the buttons started working again but had no power steering. Plugged the harness back in and had steering but the buttons no longer worked. Pretty sure Hyundai is uploading error codes and giving people the run around in an attempt to get more money. Recall this crap already before something bad happens. Hold this company responsible for selling crap to people.

I am not sure if this is related to takata recall. But the electronics controlling the air bag and cruise control are not functioning! the poor design of the steering covers squeeze the wires that are bent into the connector causing these circuits not to function. At this point, the red light for the air-bag is on all the time which means the it will not deploy causing serious damage. This steering cover design is common on all Elantra models so we suspect the problem could impact significant number of cars. I managed to test the problem, but pulling the cover off and testing the wires. When the cover is pull away from the body of the steering, the circuit for the cruise control works! Hyundai should re-locate the plug where these wires are connected further lower to avoid these wires getting squeezed. And for the current models, a shorter connector could remedy this problem by preventing the wires from getting squeezed.

2013 Elantra GT, 5 years old at 109K miles. We bought it used 3 months ago. The airbag light came on a week ago. The problem is the clock spring in the steering wheel which is a very common issue on this type and year vehicle. There is a service bulletin about this which extends the clock spring warranty to 15K miles and unlimited mileage but the dealership says that our car is not covered under this extended warranty based on the VIN. The dealer told us to call Hyundai corporate at 800-633-5151 and ask for "good will" warranty coverage which I did and I have a case open # 11648781. The representative on the phone was evasive and not willing to do much. The same with the dealer. The extended warranty NHTSA id number is 10115229, the manufacturer service bulletin # is 5np-E9R9G-08 (attached here). The issue covers 2011-2014 Elantra and 2011-2013 sonata models. The clock spring part # is exactly the same between these models. I do not understand why some cars are covered and some not. If this is such a common problem to trigger extended warranty, all cars in the affected years must be covered. The clock spring should last he life of the vehicle, thus the 15 years extended warranty. Hyundai should do good by its customers and fix all affected vehicles. Extended warranty is much cheaper than a full blown recall. One last thing, this problem is also a safety issue since is disables the entire airbag system. The steering wheel controls are also affected, the cruise control button a mixed up, the cancel became set for example which could be quite dangerous. Other buttons don't work at all or all the time. This is my second Hyundai vehicle and it looks like it will be the last. Very frustrating.

The air bag light illuminated at first intermittently but later continual. I brought it to the dealer who informed me it was because of the clock spring. The dealer informed me that it was not covered under my policy and that I would need to pay for the diagnostic and the repair. The car is less than 5 years old and should not have a safety issue at this point that is not covered under a platinum protection plan. Im very disappointed.

Airbag light remaining on and was told it is the clockspring, which is being recalled on multiple other Hyundai but dealers says not this model. Car is just 5 years old, should not need safety system replaced yet.

Air bags light comes on disabling the air bags. Something in the steering column that is connected to the clock spring. Investigation results in hundreds of similar problems with Hyundai cars.
