1995 Hyundai Elantra Airbags Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the airbag system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Airbags reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

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.*AK

Crash reported
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.*AK
