2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA
ON ENGINE START UP, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ACTIVATED INDICATING FAILURE WITH EITHER THE AIRBAG OR SUPPLEMENT RESTRAINT SYSTEM. DEALER DIAGNOSTICS INDICATED THE "CLOCKSPRING" PART HAD FAILED. THIS PART HAS FAILED OFTEN ENOUGH THAT HYUNDAI HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY ON "SOME MODELS OF 2011-2014" ELANTRA, BUT NOT THE MODEL OF MY CAR EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME PART THAT IS ON ALL 2011-2014 ELANTRA MODELS. SHOULD IT FAIL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING, THEN THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT OR THE SUPPLEMENT RESTRAINT SYSTEM MAY NOT WORK. THE "CLOCKSPRING" PART CONNECTS TO THE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON - TOOK TO DEALER TO FIND OUT WHY - TOLD THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE NEEDED REPLACED (CODE B1620) AT A WHOPPING COST OF $1400! PLUS THE $110 IT COST ME TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. I HAVE A WARRANTY HOWEVER THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS NOT COVERED AND I FIND THAT VERY UPSETTING AS THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON AIR BAGS NOT GOING OFF BECAUSE OF THIS UNIT! THE CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON IT. THIS SHOULD NOT GO BAD AND IF IT DOES HYUNDAI SHOULD TAKE CARE OF IT AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE! HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE DIE BEFORE HYUNDAI GETS INVOLVED? ITS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED - OBVIOUSLY PROFITS OUT WEIGH SAFETY WITH THEM.
