2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Power Train Problems

You did a recall for the power steering when I check to see if my vehicle is part of the recall the information said no. You need to change this because I've always had issues with my power steering locking up and being unable to turn. This has happened to me on more than one occasion. The EPS light is always on and the dealership is no help at all. I need this to be taken care of.

The contact owns a 2010 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to stop the vehicle, the engine continued to rev. The vehicle was shifted into neutral(N) and turned off. While driving at low speeds approaching a stop sign, the engine revved up. The contact shifted the vehicle to neutral(N) and turned the vehicle off and then shifted to park(P); however, the vehicle continued to move while the brake pedal was depressed. There were no warning lights illuminated. The local dealer was contacted and informed of the failure and the contact was provided the cost to have the vehicle diagnosed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but no additional assistance was provided. The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA Action Number: DP21003 (Vehicle Speed Control). The failure mileage was approximately 33,000. The consumer stated he had to get rid of the vehicle because the problem had gotten worse.

December 4, 2021 while driving to San Diego, CA, interstate 8W, Hyundai started jerking and pulling very hesitant. I took the car to my mechanic on December 13th and he informed me that the transmission had a slippage problem! Shifting from 1st to 2nd and then again from 4th gear! Bottom line, I needed another Transmission! I called NHTSA at 888-327-4236 to report this issue, but only a written complaint was taken! We 2010 Hyundai Elantra owners need to file a Civil Lawsuit against Hyundai! There are numerous complaints that I've read regarding this same suspension Faulty! Please contact me [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I have a significant defect and safety issue with my 2010 Hyundai Elantra that should be recalled by Hyundai. There seems to be a problem with the automatic gear shifter. The first issue is intermittent where the car does not turn on or even make a clicking noise when I try to turn the key in the ignition. This might make you think the battery is dead, but that is not the case. After a while of turning the car on and off, the car will eventually start. The second issue is that the gear shifter gets stuck and will not shift from one position to another. After much difficulty in getting it unstuck and shifting, the third and most significant problem is that the indicator as to which gear the car is in is not reflecting the actual gear that the car is in. This presents a real safety issue as the indicator will say that the car is in Park, but the car will roll like it is in neutral so the only way to get this to stop is to put on the emergency break while parked. Shifting into a position that you think you’re in, but not actually in, can result in hitting a pedestrian or another car. In rare instances, the car will actually shift into the correct position indicated by the gear shifter while it is in Park. You can find numerous results if you do a google search on the internet for the issues I’ve described above in Hyundai cars. Since the gear shifter is not working properly and is getting stuck, I feel this presents a significant safety issue should I need to get out of the way quickly in either a Drive or Reverse position or if I am expecting to be in a Park position and the car keeps moving.

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND ON INCLINES - LOSING POWER TO THE WHEELS (FEELS LIKE YOU ARE IN NEUTRAL, AND THE RPM'S GO WAY UP). A VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS FEELING WHEN MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY FOR INSTANCE. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACED PER SCHEDULE. AS SEEN FROM OTHERS, THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT FOR THIS VEHICLE. NHTSA SHOULD ORDER A RECALL. HAVE ALSO NOTICED A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN COMING TO A HARD STOP.

Mileage: 70,000

VEHICLE HAS 85,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS IN 2ND AND 3RD GEARS. DOES NOT MATTER IF THE WEATHER IS WARM OR COLD OR IF ENGINE IS WARM OR COLD. REOCCURRING PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

Mileage: 82,000

2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HESITATES AND JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY AFTER A YEAR OR TWO AFTER BUYING IT BRAND NEW. AT 160,000, IT HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY. THIS HAPPENS AT ABOUT 30 TO 40 MILES AN HOUR (SOMETIMES HIGHER WHILE ON HIGHWAY). IT HAPPENS ON CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS NOT A RECALL.

Mileage: 157,575

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HESITATED TO SHIFT FROM SECOND INTO THIRD GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, WHEN THE VEHICLE MADE A HARD STOP, IT MADE A CLUNKING SOUND. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH PARKS HYUNDAI OF GAINESVILLE (3111 N MAIN ST, GAINESVILLE, FL 32609, (352) 372-4251) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AS IS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000. *LN*JB *BF *BF*JB*JB

MY TRANSMISSION JERKS WHEN IT CHANGES GEARS AND ALSO WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. I GOT THE CAR FROM A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM THAT THERE WAS A SLIGHT JERK IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE SALES GUY LIED TO ME AND SAID IT WAS A CVT TRANSMISSION AND THAT THEY ALL DO THAT. I WENT TO A FEW TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND THE GUYS LAUGHED AT ME BECAUSE MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE A CVT TRANSMISSION. THEY ALL DID A TRAN SCAN AND NOTHING CAME UP ON THE SCANNER. THE SHOPS ARE TRYING TO CHARGE ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS JUST TO OPEN UP THE TRANSMISSION TO SEE WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. IT'S SO WACK TO BE PAYING A CAR NOTE ON A CAR WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL OF THE ELANTRA AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISNT A RECALL.

Mileage: 62,000

BOUGHT MY CAR USED TO FIND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. GOING ON TO THE HIGHWAY I'VE NOTICED THAT MY RPMS GO HIGH UP TO 3RD AND DONT KICK INTO GEAR UNTIL I'M ON FLAT SURFACE ON THE HIGHWAY ALSO WITH A ROUGH SLAM INTO THE RIGHT GEAR, BARELY FEELS LIKE I'M GETTING THE RIGHT POWER. EVEN DRIVING IN THE CITY MY CAR HAS A ROUGH JERK WHEN GOING INTO GEARS. I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS NOT ON A RECALL!!!?.

Mileage: 139,500

TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND JERKS GOING TO THIRD GEAR AND SOMETIMES TAKES ABOUT 5 SECONDS TO DOWNSHIFT IF ACCELERATION IS NEEDED AS I'M ENTERING A HIGHWAY. MY CAR HAD ABOUT 45,000 MILES WHEN THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ACCORDING TO ONLINE FORUMS BUT THE MANUFACTURE WOULD NOT ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS.

Mileage: 40,000

THE TRANSMISSION OF THE CAR WILL HAVE HICCUP WHEN IT SHIFTS INTO DIFFERENT GEARS WHEN DRIVING AROUND 30-40 MPH.

Mileage: 56,800

MY TRANSMISSION SLIPS. THERE ARE AN ALARMING AMOUNT OF ONLINE FORUMS SHOWING THIS IS AN ALL TOO COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I AM ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH 3 OUT OF THE 4 POWER WINDOWS. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE AMOTHER DEFAULT IN THIS MODEL CAR BECAUSE THERE WERE ALSO PLENTY OF OTHERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. ALL 3 WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME. THE MECHANIC TRIED REPLACING THE MOTOR AND OTHER INTERNAL PARTS BUT IT STILL WILL NOT WORK. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

TRANSMISSION FAILS EVERY 35,000 TO 45,000 MILES. REPLACED TWICE UNDER 90,000 MILES. STARTS AS THE CAR HESITATES TO SHIFT OR DOES NOT SHIFT FOR A FEW MINUTES. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.

WHILE LEAVING A PARKING LOT IN THE CITY, IN DRIVE, CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO NEXT GEAR, UNABLE TO GO ABOVE 25MPH; WITH ADDITIONAL PRESSURE TO GAS SENDING RPMS HIGH WITHOUT ALTERING SPEED OR SHIFTING GEAR. AFTER FINDING A PLACE TO PARK, NO CEL. UPON RESTARTING CAR, CEL IS ILLUMINATED, AND CAR WILL NOT SHIFT INTO PARK, REVERSE, OR NEUTRAL, AND UPON PUTTING INTO DRIVE THE CAR JERKS FORCIBLY. THE SHIFT INDICATOR ON THE DASH ALSO FAILS TO REGISTER P, R OR N. ONLY DRIVE. HAD CAR TOWED AND LEFT AT AUTOREPAIR SHOP AND THE NEXT MORNING THEY WERE ABLE TO PULL CODE U0101 FROM DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, AND AFTER PLUGGING THE TCM BACK IN AFTER EXAMINING PINS AND CONNECTORS, THE TRANSMISSION RETURNED TO NORMAL FUNCTION.

WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK ON A INCLINE THE TRANSMISSION FAILS TO HOLD THE CAR RESULTING IN THE CAR ROLLING AWAY WHILE UNOCCUPIED, I PUT MY 2010 ELANTRA IN PARK GOT OUT OF IT TO GET SOMETHING FROM THE BACK SSEAT, THE CAR WAS ON AN INCLINE AT THE TIME IN MY DRIVEWAY. AS I REACHED TO OPEN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR I HEAR A LOUD BANG AND THEN I HAD ABOUT A SECOND TO LOOK AROUND AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION MADE A REPETITVE BANGING AND CLICKING SOUND AS THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. I HAD TO OPEN THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR AND HOP IN THE CAR WHILE IT WAS MOVING SO I COULD HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE CAR. AFTER THIS I WENT TO A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER AND TALKED TO THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE THE TOLD ME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE AND HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSIONS IN THE CARS AFFECTED. I BOUGHT MINE FROM A USED CAR LOT ABOUT TEN DAYS AGO I AM TAKING IT BACK AND THEY ARE GOING TO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE CAR, HOWEVER I WOULD LIKE A RECALL ISSED SO I CAN TAKE THIS CAR TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED SO I KNOW FOR SURE THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPPEN AGAIN.. AS OF RIGHT NOW I HAVE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO HOLD THE CAR TO BE SURE ITS NOT GOING TO ROLL AWAY WHEN NO ONE IS THERE TO STOP IT.. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND A GOOGLE SEARCH WILL CONFIRM THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THESE CARS YEARS 2007 TILL 2010. I CAN GO OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW AND GARANTEE IF AND STRESS IS CREATED BY PARKING ON A SLIGHT INCLINE THE CAR WILL ROLL AWAY IN PARK.. I SHOWED THE DEALER THAT I GOT THE CAR FROM THIS YESTERDAY AND IT DID THIS 2 OUT OF 3 TIMES THAT I PUT THE CAR IN PARK ON A SLIGHT HILL..... THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

JUST STARTING GETTING A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING MAKING NOISE IN STEERING WHEELS .. AND IT GET WORSE .. SEAT BELT KEEPS UNCLICKING

NOISE WHEN TURN RIGHT AND LEFT. ALSO WHEN IS DRIVING MAKE A NOISE UNDER THE STERING WHEEL COLUNM-DASH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND DROVE ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,257.

Mileage: 36,257

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW MY CAR FEELS AS IF IT IS SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL WHEN I TRY TO SPEED UP ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I AM DOING CITY DRIVING I CAN FEEL A JERKING MOTION WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP POSITION OR SLOW MOVEMENT. MY CAR ONLY HAS ABOUT 45,000 MILES ON IT. TRYING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY CAN BECOME VERY NAIL BITING WHEN YOU TRY TO SPEED UP AND YOUR CAR SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL. I FIND THAT I HAVE TO PUT THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, AND GET THE RPMS TO 5, IN ORDER TO GET IT INTO GEAR. I'M SEEING FAR TOO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS AND I'M NOT SURE WHY IT'S NOT BEING RECALLED. ARE THEY WAITING FOR A FATALITY????

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING AND ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,037.

Mileage: 41,037

THE PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 31,000 MILES AND CONTINUES NOW WITH 85,000 MILES, WHILE DRIVING 40MPH AT STOP AND GO OR EVEN UPHILL TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO SLIP INTO NEUTRAL AND WILL THEN BE BACK IN GEAR WITHOUT ANY BANGING. THE DEALER CHANGED THE FILTER AND FLUID AROUND 40,000 MILES AND BLEW US OFF. THE TIME IT TAKES TO GET BACK INTO GEAR IS LONGER NOW THAN IN THE BEGINNING. THERE'S TOO MANY TRANSMISSION COMPLAINTS TO BE IGNORED. I RECENTLY RECEIVED AN UNRELATED RECALL FOR THIS CAR BUT WILL FIND ANOTHER DEALER 50 MILES AWAY TO FIX IT. *JS

A FAILING TRANSMISSION IN A LOW MILEAGE CAR IS AN ISSUE. AT JUST OVER 51,000 MILES MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BEGAN JERKING INTO GEAR BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD. AFTER HAVING IT DIAGNOSED I WAS TOLD THEY WERE ABLE TO "SORT-OF FEEL WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT" AND INITIALLY RECOMMENDED A FLUID CHANGE. WHEN I ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT, SUDDENLY I WAS TOLD IT WAS IN INTERNAL FAILURE AND I NEEDED THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THAT EVENING THE SLIPPING GOT WORSE AND THE TRANSMISSION HESITATED GOING INTO REVERSE AND HAD A BIG PROBLEM SHIFTING UP HILLS. WITH A TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING NORMALLY AND POWER BEING AFFECTED BECAUSE OF THAT, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM DEVELOPED QUICKLY AND DID NOT PRESENT ITSELF AS ONE MIGHT EXPECT A FAILING TRANSMISSION TO DO. *TR

Mileage: 51,300

VEHICLE SHAKES AND RATTLES INSIDE AT 35-40 MPH,ALSO DECREASED ACCELERATION! NOISY, UNCOMFORTABLE AND EMBARRASSING. *TR

Mileage: 29,000

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE BEFORE ACCELERATING. ALSO WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS PUT INTO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE BEFORE SUDDENLY MOVING BACKWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BUT NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE DEFECT AFTER BEING DIAGNOSED. THIS IS STARTING TO HAPPEN DAILY. I HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY PEOPLE ON THIS SITE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE IT BECOMES A BIGGER PROBLEM. IT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND ENTER HIGHWAYS IT'S A PROBLEM. THE CAR HESITATES AND REVS BEFORE ACCELERATING. *TR

Mileage: 58,000

I WAS APPROACHING HIGHWAY FROM CITY ROADS AND I HAD TO ACCELERATE TO GET IN THE FLOW. SUDDENLY, I FELT THAT EVEN THOUGH I WAS ACCELERATING, CAR DID NOT GAIN SPEED. I CHECKED RPMS AND IT WAS QUITE HIGH FOR THE SPEED THAT CAR WAS MOVING. IT LOOKED TO ME AS IF CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL GEAR BUT IT WAS NOT. THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT MY CAR BECAUSE THE DRIVER WAS EXPECTING MY CAR TO MOVE FASTER. I HAD TO STOP ON SHOULDER TO CHECK WHAT IS HAPPENING. I HAD THIS KIND OF EXPERIENCE BEFORE TOO BUT NOT LIKE THIS ONE. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS BACK IN CITY TRAFFIC. WHAT MY OBSERVATION IS, THAT WHEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GOES FROM 2ND GEAR TO 3RD, THERE IS A PROBLEM. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR, EVEN THEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SMOOTH BUT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM LIKE THE ONE I MENTIONED EARLIER. BUT AS THE MILEAGE IS INCREASING, THE PROBLEM IS GETTING BIGGER TOO. I DO REGULAR OIL CHANGE AS I HAVE PURCHASED SERVICE PLAN WHEN BUYING THE CAR. I HAD COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ABOUT IT(TRANSMISSION HAVING PROBLEM) COUPLE OF TIMES BUT THEY SAID THEY DID NOT FEEL IT. I THINK THEY WERE NEGLECTING THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE IS PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION AND THAT COSTS A BIG AMOUNT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT AN EXPERT. *TR

Mileage: 50,668

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR AND THE RPMS GO SKY HIGH AND THE CAR RUNS LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE TO TAP THE BRAKE BEFORE IT WILL ADJUST AND GO BACK INTO GEAR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIGGER PROBLEM WHEN CARRYING PASSENGERS. THE ADDED WEIGHT APPEARS TO BE A FACTOR. IT'S RATHER DANGEROUS SINCE IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING AND HAPPENED JUST THIS PAST WEEKEND WHEN DRIVING IN MINNEAPOLIS, MN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. MILEAGE REPORTED IS ESTIMATED FOR WHEN I FIRST NOTED THIS PROBLEM APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO. NOT KNOWING A LOT ABOUT CARS, I DIDN'T THINK TO REPORT IT. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR, I WAS TYPICALLY DRIVING FROM HOME TO WORK AND BACK, BUT HAVE BEEN TRAVELING MORE FREQUENTLY IN THE LAST YEAR DUE TO FAMILY ACTIVITIES. THE PROBLEM OCCURS MORE OFTEN ON LONGER TRIPS. *TR

THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. ON MY 2010 ELANTRA AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, IT IS AS THOUGH THE GEARS ARE NOT WORKING. WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE THE ISSUE ARISES. IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR TO 40 MPH I HAVE TO LITERALLY HIT THE GAS AND GET THE RPMS TO 5,000 OR ALMOST 6,000 BEFORE THE CAR WILL SHIFT. THE CAR THEN SHIFTS BUT WHEN IT IS SETTLING INTO 1000-2000 RPM'S THE POWER JERKS AS IF IT HAS LOST POWER MOMENTARILY, THIS HAPPENS ANYTIME YOU ARE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. GOING UP A SMALL HILL THIS CAR WILL GO ABOUT 10-15 MPH FOR MORE THAN 30 SECONDS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE TRANSMISSIONS GO OUT COMPLETELY WHILE THESE CARS ARE BEING DRIVEN. LOOSING THE ABILITY TO SHIFT SHOULD BE A CONCERN HERE. *TR
