We purchased the four (4) weeks ago. On July 25, 2021 about 5:53 P.M. My step daughter was driving about 10 miles per hour making a left turn and the driver and passenger airbags deployed without a collision or impact of any kind. I contacted Hillsborough County Sheriff and we after inspection, the airbags deployed and the seat belts were locked. Therefore, we had to park the car at the Hillsborough Sheriff Office, located at 7202 Gunn Hwy, Tampa, FL 33625, Phone number (813) 247-0330. As per the officer advise we could not drive the car. The dealer has been notified of the incident. We can be reached at [XXX] [XXX]

For no reason, the driver-side airbag light has come on (and stays on) in our 2-door 2012 Hyundai Elantra. It puts our daughter and son at risk, as the two drivers of the car, because the airbag may be defective and not deploy in the event of an accident. That is unacceptable. This is an auto-maker safety issue, and the consumer should NOT be responsible for having to get this repaired on their dime. Yet everything I read online is other Hyundai drivers have gotten this and the dealers are gouging them on the repairs. We will take it into the dealer, but in no way, shape or form should we have to pay for this repair! Please pay attention - many Hyundai drivers are reporting this same issue online, even if they are not reporting it directly to you at NHTSA!

I WAS DRIVING HEARD A LOUD BANG THEN I GOT HOME AND LOOKED THE STRUT COIL FRACTURED AND SNAPPED OFF AND WAS HANGING THERE

WHEN PUTTING THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISITOR DOWN AT FIRST IT WOULD JUST MAKE A CLICKING SOUND. THEN ONE DAY WOULD NOT GO ALL THE WAY BACK UP. WHEN I CHECKED , ABOVE THE MIRROR ON RIGHT HAND SIDE BY THE ARM, THE WHITE PLASTIC TRIM FOR THE VISOR IS BROKEN SO THE VISOR IS JUST KIND OF HANGING. SOMEWHAT BLOCKS VISION.
