Red light with airbag picture stays on in the dash under the gauges. It comes on and stays on during driving with seat belts fastened and everything secured. Might be indicating some sort of malfunction in safety airbag system.

The airbag light on my dash came on about a month ago for no apparent reason and i had my car inspected and no codes were shown. The reason for the airbag light is still unknown and i worry that the airbag wont deploy if i get into an accident. I've heard this happening to several different hyundai elantra owners and i think there should be a solution for this common problem.

I just bought this car a few days ago, the airbag light was on all the time even before i purchased, the ex-owner got the car from his grand-ma as a gift and he said it had been like that since he started to drive, i searched online to find out about the problem, noticed that it's a common problem faced by many hyudai elantra owners.

On nov 8th 2019 i was t-boned on my front driver side, by a driver that ran their red traffic light. My light was green and i was in motion through the intersection. My airbags did not deploy during the time of impact. I had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance because of injuries. As i read complaints though, i see people airbags are deploying without impact.
