1995 Hyundai Elantra Air bags Problems

“In the case of air bag, I was hit by a f350 pickup at 40 miles ph and the bag did not deploy, but the light came and it will not go off. Called Hyundai dealer and they said my VIN number is not applicable for the recall. In the case of the gas problem, the smell of gas permiates through out the car with no logical explanation. In the case of the wiring failure, it was the wiring harness which caught on fire and was to be replaced at my cost , which was done by rick case mazda in 1999.”

“While driving at 65 MPH vehicle was struck from the rear by another vehicle traveling at 110 MPH, consumer's vehicle was pushed into a guardrail, and the air bags did not deploy. Driver suffered injuries to the neck/back/ hip, and chest. Also, passenger suffered back/neck injuries. Dealer has not been contacted.”

“Airbag light would stay on. Dealer ran vehicle through a diagnostic test, and ran code out which turned off the light. However, airbag light came back on later that day. Dealer did not mention of any recall announced.”

“Air bag light came on when car was started. Dealer doesn't know why after running a diagnostic test. Dealer wants to start by replacing air bag parts until light goes off (starting with the $600 chip). Dealer claims recall was performed on this car in july 1995. In 1996, this vehicle was in a fender bender but air bag light did not come on and air bag did not deploy. This vehicle was never in a major accident and there should be no reason why the air bag system should just fail out of the blue.”

“Air bag warning light remains illuminated, indicating a malfunction within the system. Dealer replaced air bag module. Please give any further details.”
