What 1,293 owners told NHTSA about the 2013 Hyundai Elantra Gt

My daughter had a tire blow out which caused the passenger side airbag to deploy. A piece of trim approximately 32 inches long flew off from the passenger's side hitting my daughter in the head and causing a concussion and requiring an emergency room visit.. Hyundai performed an investigation and stated the airbags deployed like they should have but refused to acknowledge the cause of my daughter's injury and would not discuss it further.

Traffic ahead of me rapidly decelerated. Upon applying the brakes, the peddle froze and then went to the floor without any resistance. I attempted to pump the brakes without success. I impacted the car ahead of me at 40 mph, the posted speed limit, creating substantial damage to both vehicles. The brakes failed to operate and the airbags failed to deploy upon impact. The vehicle failed to slow down and was reacting as if the accelerator was stuck. There were no system warnings at the time of the accident or afterwards. Braking abilities resumed immediately after impact. There is no visible evidence of any fluid leaks, brake fluid or otherwise. The vehicle was last serviced by the dealership for an oil change at the end of January 2024. A brake inspection was performed at that time. I was aware of a recall notice Campaign 251 regarding the brake ABS system. When I inquired at the last service date, I was informed no fix was available at that time. Current mileage is 49,779. I am still in the process of locating a repair shop.

I had a rear tire blowout causing the car to stop rapidly causing me to hit my face on the steering wheel so hard I got knocked out . My foot pressed on the gas and I hit a parked car. And my airbags never deployed. Insurance didn't pay my claim because it wasy falt I hit a parked car. Because I was knocked out. I don't remember anything about 30 seconds before the accident. Had my airbags worked maybe I could have remembered what really happened. When the collusion center inspected my car they said a defect in the car was the cause of my accident. But the insurance already denied the claim. The yellow tab was the airbag sensor

ON APRIL 14TH 2017 MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT WHERE SHE HYDROPLANED OFF OF AN ONRAMP AT 60-65MPH AS SHE WAS GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ROLLED HER 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE SIDE IMPACT AND SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT SHE WAS A MONTH AND A HALF PREGNANT. I HER HUSBAND CALLED HYUNDAI WHILE AT THE HOSPITAL. I LET THEM KNOW THAT "NONE" OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD START A CASE. I ALSO LET THE COMPANY KNOW WHERE THE CAR WAS BEING SENT WHICH WAS A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN TOWN AND ASKED IF THEY WOULD CHECK THE AIRBAGS WHICH "NEVER HAPPENED". THE CAR WAS REPAIRED AND WE PICKED UP THE CAR ON MAY 4TH 2017. WE HAVE BEEN IN CONSTANT CONTACT WITH HYUNDAI ABOUT THE AIRBAG SITUATION AND WE FEEL THAT THEY NEVER REALLY TOOK IT SERIOUSLY. MY WIFE'S CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY SINCE MAY 4TH, 2017 NOT BEING DRIVEN DUE TO (A) MY WIFE BEING AFRAID OF THE CAR AND NOT FEELING SAFE INSIDE. (B) NOT KNOWING ABOUT THE AIRBAGS AND THE "ONGOING INVESTIGATION". FAST FORWARD TO TODAY SEPTEMBER 20TH, 2017 I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM HYUNDAI SAYING THAT DUE TO THEM NOT BEING ABLE TO CHECK THE CAR AND AIRBAGS OUT "POST-ACCIDENT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY FAULTS IN THE AIRBAGS, AND THEN THEY GO NO TO SAY THAT THE ELANTRA'S SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DEPLOY IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT. MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING AT BETWEEN 60 AND 65 MPH WHEN SHE LOST CONTROL OF HER ELANTRA AND I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY (A) DID NOT CHECK THE AIRBAGS WHEN THE CAR WAS AT A CERTIFIED DEALER/REPAIR SHOP AND (B) WHY THEY ARE TELLING US THAT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO DEPLOY IN A ROLLOVER. FROM THE RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE IN ANY ROLLOVER THE SIDE IMPACT AND SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS ARE SUPPOSED TO DEPLOY IN A ROLLOVER. I DO HAVE PICTURE AND EMAILS FRO THE ACCIDENT AND EMAILS FROM HYUNDAI.

EVERY AIRBAG IN THE HYUNDAI DEPLOYED, INCLUDING THE BACK SEAT WHICH SEEMED STRANGE SINCE IT WAS A FRONTAL CRASH. THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T GO IN TO ANY OTHER GEAR IT WAS STUCK IN DRIVE. THE HOOD WAS SMASHED UP TO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR WAS OVER $12,000 THERE HAS TO BE SOME FAULTY PART(S) OR EQUIPMENT ON THE CAR TO CAUSE SUCH DAMAGE AT SUCH LOW SPEEDS. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN A CRASH IN A HYUNDAI. I WROTE TO HYUNDAI ABOUT SAFETY CONCERNS OF THEIR HYUNDAI ELANTRAS, THEIR RESPONSE WAS UNACCEPTABLE: "WE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE DESIGN OF THE 2013 ELANTRA AND WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY DISAPPOINTMENT THIS HAS CAUSED YOU. THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN FORWARDED TO ALL APPROPRIATE PARTIES WITHIN HYUNDAI FOR REVIEW, INCLUDING HYUNDAI MANAGEMENT." REALLY HYUNDAI! PEOPLE CAN BE SEVERELY INJURED OR DIE IN THESE VEHICLES WHICH I FEEL HYUNDAI NEEDS TO BE A LITTLE MORE CONCERNED.
