| Spokane hyundai matter i bought my hyundai in 2001 and have over 100,000 miles on my car. i am the sole owner of the vehicle. recently (about 2 weeks ago) my dashboard airbag light went on and i called the dealer ship to inquire what i should do. i am concerned that the airbag may not deploy or may be defective. hyundai spokane (the dealership who sold me the car) said to bring the car in for them to investigate. i brought the car in the next day: december 21, 2011 and the car dealership informed me that it would cost me $90 for them to run their tests to determine what is wrong with my airbag light. they went on to say that there were a couple of recall notices on the car that they could replace. this airbag concern is a safety issue that is mandatory for the dealership (manufacture) to investigate and fixed. this safety issue is for the life of the car, so even though my warranty has expired on my engine, transmission, etc; the safety (airbags) is for the life of the car. why would i pay to have spokane hyundai investigate and fix a problem that hyundai is responsible for? if i had an accident and the airbag did not deploy or ineffective; spokane hyundai is liable and at fault. why is spokane hyundai trying to gauge the customer (again) for expenses they are responsible for fixing? could you pleases investigate. thank you kevin malee | |||

| My air bag light comes on and off randomly while driving. i debated on whether or not to take it back because it wasn't on continuously. they always say we can't duplicate the problem. well now the air bag light is on continuously and i set up an appointment. they called me and said the computer is showing 12 different codes for the air bags and that they noticed something sticky like pop on the wires. they said they weren't going to cover it under warranty. my first issue with that is they should be sealed off completely so a little pop shouldn't fry the air bag. the only reason i bought my hyundai was because of the warranty and the assurance that i wouldn't have to worry about anything for 5 years. unfortunately that isn't the truth. after 6 months or so i realized that i had to start my car for atleast 15 seconds before i could actually put it in drive and go. but why wasn't it like that in the beginning? and after the first year i notice rust behind the passenger doors in near the wheel wells where the car is welded together. that's a real high quality car right there when you have a car that's 10 years older and it doesn't have a spot of rust,that shows quality. what does hyundai show? not much as far as i am concerned. it shows poor quality and a company that doesn't really stand behind their warranty. lets not forget the fact that the transmission in the car is horrible. it shifts into second gear so hard and sounds like a canon exploding. the light above the license plate burnt out 2 weeks after they replaced it the first time. and the fact that all the wires inside my doors were corroded after two years and had to be replaced. so, now i have a problem with the airbag module being destroyed and they said i spilled pop or something in the console and that's what caused it. after so many problems with wiring in the car they don't see that this could be legitimately a manufacturer defect in the module. *nm abl.pco | |||

| This vehicle is hazardous to be on the road. it has front end steering and suspension problems. it has a terrible vibration from 35 mph and up. if traveling on the highway the wheel shakes so badly that your hands go numb. i have had the vehicle in for service and repeated time over a two and a half year period, and the dealership has done nothing. i have also spoken with the manufacturers on several occasions, and have done nothing. it has gotten to the point that i had an accident, because of these problems. i now have a permanent injury that i will live with for the rest of my life, and they still do not care. i have 2 small children, and i am afraid every time i leave the house that something will happen with this vehicle, and one of my children get injured. fortunately, with my accident i was alone. in my accident my steering locked and i hit a stone embankment at about 40 mph with the front end and my air bag also did not deploy. unfortunately i am stuck driving this vehicle, when it is unsafe, and unfit to be on the road. it is a hazard to my family, and all others on the road with me. i sincerely hope something can be done to these dealerships, and manufacturers to ensure they are selling our consumers a safe and reliable vehicle. *la | |||

| There was an airbag recall on my 2001 hyundai elantra. i got the recalled repaired by arrow hyundai in milwaukee, wi. on january 5th, 2009. at the end of september, 2009 both of the side passenger airbags deployed within a week of each other. the first side air bag deployed while i was driving roughly 25mph. (week of september 18th.) the second side airbag deployed overnight while no one was even in the car. (the next week in september, deployed less than a week after the first) i had tried to schedule two different appointments with hyundai to have my airbags and seats fixed but had to reschedule because they could not tell me how long they would have my car. before i could go to the next appointment i made with arrow hyundai, my front passenger airbag also deployed. (about a week and a half after my second side airbag deployed). the front passenger airbag (the one that deploys from the dashboard) deployed while i was about to pull out from being parked. i was going roughly 3mph if that. this airbag shattered my windshield, making the car impossible to drive. i contacted hyundai usa the day after my front passenger airbag deployed and they began an investigation. it has now been over three months since the third airbag deployed and i haven't heard anything about having my car repaired. i have called hyundai usa at least every other week since this occurred and still have not received a real answer. *tr | |||

| I am the owner of a 2001 hyundai elantra. i purchased the vehicle new. less than one year ago, my air bag light came on. i took it back to the dealer and they had to replace it because it had dried up! they replaced the bag. less than a year later, but now my warranty is just up, the light is back on. i have notified the dealer, the consumer division of hyundai, the ceo of hyundai of my concerns and all they have offered to do is split the part, only, with me at 50%. i do not feel that this is a responsible solution for a company to take on a part from the manufacturer that is less than a year old. it has to be a safety issue to have faulty airbags! i have never had an accident with the vehicle, it has never been inflated...why would it dry out? i have a couple of other issues, but i don't believe they could be safety related. i contacted the ceo directly by certified mail and never got a response back from him. *jb abl.pco | |||

| Headlights burning out frequently was the first sign of problems, replaced them as the dealer said this was inherent to the 2001 elantra. in august 2006 check engine light came on. also, the air bag sensor light was on, headlight out again, took car to dealer, they called back and said that the alternator had been over charging and not only was the over charging burning out the headlights it also had taken out the cruise control module, and air bag module. car had only 42000 miles on it, and was 2 weeks from being out of the 5 year bumper to bumper warranty. well here it is 6 months later and 47000 miles and check engine light is back on, i have since purchased a diagnostic tool to read the codes. the car was running rough at idle. the codes came up as mis fire on cylinder 3, tps sensor failure and map barometer failure. i replaced the plugs and wires, engine still ran rough. took car back to dealer they replaced the tps, still running rough, they suggested that because of the faulty tps that the excessive dumping of fuel into the jets could have caused one of them to be clogged. i had them clean the jets as well as replace the plugs and wires again (they had also found that #3 wire had been arcing.) this took care of the idle problem. i took the car home and the next day driving the car would surge between 3rd and 4th gear, engine light back on. still have the map error. dealer ended up replacing the map sensor. it has been about a month since this last occourence and all i can do is cross my fingers until i trade it in. *ak abl.pco | |||

| There was an airbag recall on my 2001 hyundai elantra. i got the recalled repaired by arrow hyundai in milwaukee, wi. on january 5th, 2009. at the end of september, 2009 both of the side passenger airbags deployed within a week of each other. the first side air bag deployed while i was driving roughly 25mph. (week of september 18th.) the second side airbag deployed overnight while no one was even in the car. (the next week in september, deployed less than a week after the first) i had tried to schedule two different appointments with hyundai to have my airbags and seats fixed but had to reschedule because they could not tell me how long they would have my car. before i could go to the next appointment i made with arrow hyundai, my front passenger airbag also deployed. (about a week and a half after my second side airbag deployed). the front passenger airbag (the one that deploys from the dashboard) deployed while i was about to pull out from being parked. i was going roughly 3mph if that. this airbag shattered my windshield, making the car impossible to drive. i contacted hyundai usa the day after my front passenger airbag deployed and they began an investigation. it has now been over three months since the third airbag deployed and i haven't heard anything about having my car repaired. i have called hyundai usa at least every other week since this occurred and still have not received a real answer. *tr | |||

| 2001 hyundai elantra gls -- one month ago (january 2007) the airbag light on the dashboard commenced slowly, dimly appearing then slowly fading out in one continuous cycle of several seconds. the condition repeats as long as the ignition is switched on. i noticed hyundai's recall of the 2001 hyundai elantra for exactly that problem and took the vehicle to the local dealership for repair. evidently, the condition is caused by one-or-more faulty airbag sensors. the result, according to the recall information, is that one or more airbags may not deploy when activated. the dealer entered my vehicle's vin, told me that my vehicle was not covered by the recall and refused to replace the sensors without charge. because of the exorbitant cost of replacement, please ask hyundai to include my vehicle in the recall and/or mail me a letter of credit that i can give to the dealer to have this condition repaired. accordingly, i must continue to drive the vehicle in this condition until i hear from you and/or hyundai, here concerned. otherwise, last june, 2006, both sun visor retaining brackets (holding the visor to the roof) cracked about a month apart, rendering the sun visors useless, in that the placement of the visor cannot be controlled. . .it simply drops and hangs when released from the retainer. my driver's side bracket broke just at the most inopportune moment, when the sun was shining directly into my eyes at a level just above the top of the steering wheel. i feel fortunate to have been on a lightly traveled road at the time, such that i pulled over onto the shoulder for a few minutes until the sun rose a bit higher in the sky. those brackets should last longer than this; likewise, the airbag sensors should last longer than this. *jb abl.pco | |||
