2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring Air bags Problems

“Just want to indicate that my air bag light came on indicating it was broken. When asked about warranty the dealer said that was not under warranty. Now I hear there had been a recall on the Hyundai elantra sedan for air bag issues and the NHTSA is considering including the touring model in the recall. I just wanted to add my vehicle to the list of affected cars with an air bag issue!”

“I was traveling south on i85 south approaching the exit 17 where I had planned to exit, as I began to apply the brake the engine was racing, and the vehicle continued to accelerate, I could not stop the vehicle, I turned right onto the exit, the vehicle did not slow down, I could not make the complete turn, I fractured my left thumb, and broke the steering wheel while trying to avoid crashing into some trees that were in the path of the vehicle, I continued to try to stop the vehicle but it kept going; I ended up crashing into an embankment just a couple of feet off of the ramp road on i85…”

“The Hyundai was at an intersection and pulled out in front of another car. The accident was bad and the car was totaled but the air bags never deployed and the driver sustained serious injuries. The state trooper involved stated he thought it was strange the air bags did not deploy as well.”

“I have a 2010 Hyundai Elantra. On Saturday, July 22, 2023, after the car was put into park in my fathers driveway and the emergency brake put on, the front driver and passenger bags deployed. The force of it's deployment cracked the windshield in several places on the passenger side. There were no warning lights or indications that this would occur. The car was in park. The seatbelts are in a locked (not able to retract) form, so the car is not drivable. The two individuals in the front seat were disoriented for a short time. …”

“The contact owns a 2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring. While driving approximately 50 MPH, the driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into another vehicle and a utility pole. The air bags did not deploy. There were no warning indicators illuminated. A police report was filed. The driver and the front passenger sustained injuries that required medical attention. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 11,000.”
