2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

Airbag light comes on a few minutes after I start driving. I had my local Hyundai dealership look into and they said they didn't get any diagnostic codes and were unable to replicate the issue when test driving. The problem happens every time I drive and the fact that the airbag light is on is very worrisome and from researching this issue it seems it's rather common.

Airbag light comes on and off intermittently, such as when going over a bump or turning the wheel. This is already a known issue with 2012 Hyundai Elantra clock springs and the warranty should be extended to cover 2013 as well.

I own an 2013 Elantra GT, that currently has about 89,000 miles. Over the last several months, there is a very loud clunk when I turn the steering wheel or when driving over uneven roads (like pot holes). As the noise got worse, I was concerned about something broken in the car. I took this to a national tire dealer (Big O) and was informed that the noise was from a very well known issue in the Elantra vehicles, I made an appointment at the Hyundai dealer and without looking at the car, I was told it did not fall under the service bulletin and the repair would cost over $400. This seems to be one of the few Elantras that Hyundai has not issued the extended warranty for. I'm very concerned that this issue will cause the loss of steering control and will cause an accident or even death. Hyundai needs to extend the warranty to cover the Elantra GT along with all the other Hyundai models

Driving on highway and the steering locked up and unable to steer vehicle. I was able to roll to a safe area and vehicle was towed to a repair shop and steering column needs replacement. Thank God I was not injured.

Car was stolen. I believe the negligent design of the vehicle, and Hyundai's lack of communication/problem-solving, are at least partially at fault.

My airbag light comes on intermittently. Since this is a safety issue, it should be diagnosed and repaired at no cost.

All warning lights will come on the car usually when car is stopped at a stopped sign or light. Car will not be able to move but air is still on and radio is still on. If car is then turned off and then turned back on, no lights will appear and car will drive normally. Car also will start gliding like it has lost power. Usually putting the car in park and then in drive will correct the issue but not warning lights will come on.
