- Apopka, FL, USA

Airbag warning light came on for no reason while I was driving and remains on. I called dealership and was told I would have to pay $169 just to diagnose the problem. Reading the other complaints on this website it appears GT has the same airbags as other Elantras but is not on recall for this part" why not? isn't this a safety issue"

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 Elantra have an issue with the clock spring. Hyundai did a partial recall of Elantra within 2011-2014 for this issue, but my vehicle wasn't included in this recall.

On Monday when I started my car I realized my airbag light on my dashboard was on alerting me that my airbags are deactivated and won't deploy. My car has never been in an accident and the airbags have never deployed. It is unsettling that I have to drive around without airbags because I can not afford to pay over 100$ to fix the problem and there is no recall even though my car is not the first Hyundai to have this problem. This is a safety issue.

- Jacksonville, AL, USA

The airbag light on the dashboard of my car goes on and off as I'm driving or when the car is not in motion. Apparently this is due to the clock spring needing to be replaced. Several Hyundai have had this problem so Hyundai extended its warranty for certain models. The 2013 Elantra sedan is covered under this warranty, however, they failed to include the GT model. The GT model has the exact same part with the exact same issues, therefore it should be included under the warranty. This is a terrible safety issue since my airbags will not deploy if I get into a collision.

- Decatur, GA, USA

The clock spring contact assembly for the driver's air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) has become damaged through usage over time. The driver's air bag electrical circuit experiences a high resistance condition, causing the driver's air bag to not deploy. The clock spring develops high resistance, in the event of a crash, the drivers air bag will not deploy and will not be able to properly protect the driver, increasing the risk of injuries. Hyundai has issued a recall/tsb for the 2013 Hyundai Elantra sedan, but not the hatchback which utilizes the exact same part. The repair cost is almost $500 at the dealer and because the repair involves removing the airbag and removing the steering wheel it poses a safety risk for shade tree mechanics. The attached tsb should also apply to the Elantra hatchback as well,

Airbag light remains on, bags have never deployed; known issue with Elantras - how is this not a recall?

- Noblesville, IN, USA

Air bag light came on and buttons on steering wheel no longer work. Many other Elantra owners have made complaints about this but nothing has been done. They want me to pay to fix a safety issue with the air bags and it happened before I hit 60000 but couldn't get in until later so they used that to not fix it on there on dime.

- Kingsport, TN, USA

SRS light illuminated while driving on a city street. Obd has determined that the driver's front airbag clock spring has failed. Vehicle has 72,175 miles. This part is a known high failure item and the warranty has been extended to 15 years for 2011-2013 sonata, 2011-2014 sonata hybrid and 'certain' 2011-2014 Elantra. The warranty extension does not cover my 2013 Elantra GT.

- Cornelius, NC, USA

The air bag warning light is on im not going to pay close to 300$ for a safety fix there are plenty of the same models with the same issue, a bad clockspring! never went over any bumps never any railroads just started it one day and it was on.

- Queen Creek, AZ, USA

The airbag light stays on. They have recalls and or manufacturers extended warranty for other Hyundai Elantra's, but not for 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT? this is a serious safety issue and I am placing a complaint because this should be covered and not an expense to owner of the car. It's extremely dangerous and could cause serious harm with such a default. All Hyundai's having this issue, should be covered under extended warranty, not just some.
