Description of the problem | Tl* the contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. When the vehicle was started, the air bag warning indicator illuminated intermittently without warning. The indicator currently remains illuminated. The local dealer (rick case hyundai duluth, 3180 satellite blvd nw, duluth, ga, 30096, 855-254-5290) advised the contact to schedule an appointment for diagnostic testing. The appointment was not scheduled due to the diagnostic fee. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who tried to reset the air bag sensor and diagnosed that the failure was due to the clock spring. The mechanic stated that they could not guarantee that it was the cause of the failure and that it needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that there was no recall on the vehicle. Due to the vehicle being outside of the 60,000 mile warranty, the contact would be responsible for the repair costs. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000. |
