AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY, AND WILL NOT TURN OFF NOW, EVEN WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. AFTER RESEARCHING IVE SEEN THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE BUT HAVE HEARD IT IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX. A RECALL IS NECESSARY!!!

MY 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HAS STARTED WITH LOOSE STEERING AND A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE EACH TIME THE WHEEL IS TURNED EITHER WAY. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY WARRANTY IS NOT COVERED (64,000 MILES). I HAVE READ A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM FROM OTHER OWNERS. THEY WANT $135.00 TO LOOK AT IT, I'M SURE IT'S A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED OR COVERED. THIS OCCURS WHEN IN MOTION AND STATIONARY.
