Airbag SRS light appeared on dash panel without reason when the vehicle was started in a parked position and has stayed illuminated since first appearing. The light has been present for several months now. Recent diagnostics reported airbag fault (code B134600 driver airbag resistance too high stage #1). Service facility deemed fault is secondary to defective clock spring. The defect causes the airbag system to fail and airbags will not deploy in the event of an accident because of this fault.

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 Elantras have an issue with the clock spring. Hyundai did a partial recall of Elantras within 2011-2014 for this issue, but my vehicle wasn't included in this recall. The light would generally stay on but would occasionally turn off on the highway, but then back on.

Around 5pm on July 18th after starting up my parked car with no issues I pulled out of a parallel parking spot and made a left turn through a green arrow at the light. I was driving straight and slowly accelerating to about 30mph. I took my foot of the gas a bit to coast. I went to put my foot back on the gas but before I could within about 10sec the car slowed down and came to a halt in the middle of the road. Right as the car was slowing down all of the emergency lights such as check engine and all the other ones on the dashboard flashed. The car was completely shut off. The hazard lights did not even come on. I immediately pressed the break and turned the car back on. It started up immediately and I kept driving. Took car to Hyundai dealer who found no issues after running a diagnostic.

I drove my 2013 Hyundai Elantra Tuesday evening and parked it at 9pm. Went to start my car to go to work at 730am and it would not start. All of the lights came on, headlights and radio worked the car just would not start. I tried to start it 5 more times, it is push start. I called and had my car towed that evening, the tow guy came and put it in neutral and it started right up. I still had the car towed because I have had so many electrical issues with this car. It has been at the Hyundai dealership for 4 days now and no one can tell me what is wrong with it. It has started a couple times for the dealership but not consistently. I keep calling and asking what the issue is but they have no idea what it is. I have read numerous comments about the same issue with this car. This needs to be a recall this is not fair to us as Hyundai customers. This should be recalled and paid for by Hyundai.

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.

Takata recalls. My radio bluetooth doesn't work nor does the usb. I'm constantly having to change rear lightbulbs. When my car reaches a certain speed it starts to shake. My tire sensor put a hole in my tire. My seat belts will not connect. I'm just had to change the alternator. And the engine makes a ticking sound.

I tried to start my 2013 Hyundai Elantra limited. The brake pedal would not depress and the car would not start but made an electronic clicking noise. This has been an issue for a couple of years now but becoming more frequent. It has stranded me amd my infant children twice this past year and myself twice. The dealer has made suggestions but none work. Looked online and hundreds of other owners of all models having starting issues. Don't understand whyissue has not been recalled but I'm going to have to trade my car in for new one as I need reliable transportation for my children. All instances occurred after vehicle was driven, parked and starting attempts. Please look into this matter. It may have not recieved many complaints on this page, however, online blogs are full of same issue with an large amount of Hyundai owners.

My brake lights do not work, I've had them replaced 3 times. My rpms do not work when I push the gas, the vehicle won't go more than 20 mph, when changing my gears, it doesn't work, and when I am at a stop light or just sitting in a parking lot with the vehicle running it turns off on it's own. When I try to start the vehicle it won't turn most the time.

My car was parked on the side of my driveway and on Monday morning, I put my key in the ignition and the car cranked but did not want to turn over. The night before, my car was running fine. I'm lucky that it happened at home and not stranded elsewhere. I changed the spark plugs and checked the fuses and sensors and still it did not work. After reading other forums, there were alot of people who were having the same issue. A mechanic told me that I should change the ignition switch. I went to Hyundai parts to buy one and the guy who works there told me that the switch is a known issue and is made of plastic that can easily cause cracks or condensation where water can go inside. In addition, he mentioned Hyundai knew about this and made an updated part which is made of metal. Knowing that this was faulty and Hyundai had hid the information, the ignition switch should have been recalled and replaced free of charge.

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.

Vehicle keeps shutting off/ stalling. First dealer claimed it was a yaw rate sensor. Sensor was changed and did not solve issue. It was also experiencing fuel pump problems, gas would leak when filling and gas would not calculate mileage or update. Second dealer did not see a fuel pump problem. Now believes its a ECM problem. They did not want to cover it under warranty.
