2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Unknown Or Other Problems

I have had a couple of issues that I have had others tell me or read online that they have had the same issues 1- When I bought the car, which was used at the time. Just a couple of years ago I drove it off of the lot and it had a break issue. I had to take it towed back to the dealership bc something broke underneath and the breaks were failing. So they fixed the problem supposedly. I only had a 30 day warranty and after the 30 days the breaks started grinding every time I stopped. This went on for a long time. I had an other mechanic look at it and did something and I can not recall exactly what he said but after about a week, the noise started back up and at that time I had had the car for about a yr and he said I still had about 25 percent left on my break pads. So probably about 4 months ago I changed my front breaks, including the rotors and the back breaks to, I also had to replace the front left caliber bc while trying to take the pin out of the caliber to clean it, the pin broke. So I replaced it. Took my care in to get inspected And they told me I need to do the back breaks and the back right caliber to pass inspection. So I did the work and got it done. I am not a rich person so I can only take it a mechanic if it something that I can not do myself my I have had good training bc had been a mechanic and had taught at mechanic schools so I know I have help and if I am not sure about something he will help. So now after doing all of that hard work, I am starting to hear the grinding noise again with the breaks and my breaks are good. It always starts our really light and then gets louder within a couple of weeks. 2- the second issue is that my airbag light is on, I am not sure why this is , I have never been in any kind of accident. One day just popped on and never went off 3- I have read online that you have had a recalls on newer models for Hyundai Elantra with the issue but not my year. Well my trunk latch ended up get latched and would not open

The car caught fire all the sudden while parked and burnt almost completely (~80%)

It seems like this vehicle was sold new in 2013 with 16" wheels, but the tire placard indicates 17" wheels. I can't prove it, but I'm pretty sure the wheels haven't been changed since the vehicle was driven off the dealer lot.

I took my car to Millennium Hyundai in Garden City, New York on June 22, 2024 to fix NHTSA recall # 23V651000 (manufacturer recall # 251). The dealer claimed the repair was completed and I have documentation to this effect (see service summary, attached). However, neither Hyundai nor the dealer ever updated the NHTSA database to show that this recall repair was completed, so my car still shows that it has an open recall. I do not want this to be an issue when I sell the car. The dealer refuses to take responsibility for updating the database. Either the dealer did not complete the repair as required, or the dealer is refusing to update the database as required. Either way, the dealer is clearly not in compliance with NHTSA regulations and requirements. Please take whatever actions are necessary against Millennium Hyundai. Thank you.

I have had a Fire Risk Warning Safety Recall on my car for 1.5 years and there is no remedy for it. This puts my safety at risk daily, as well as everyone around me.

I own a 2013 Elantra Hyundai. I have owned the car since 2019. A few days ago, I was unable to open my trunk with the electronic key. I had my battery replaced at a dealership. My trunk still wont open. I checked Google website. Consumer Report reported a recall in March 2024 for latch to be replaced. Am asking that the recall be honored. Please advise. My email is: [XXX] . Thank you. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My engine is ticking. The auto shop told me that my motor is shot and the same thing happened to my sons car. We both have the same car same year. There has been a law suit for this issue.

While pulling out onto a major main road, my car just stopped. The RPM's remained on zero after I restarted the car. I had to get it towed. The engine light was on, and it had trouble restarting. The code read camshaft. The mechanic replaced the camshaft and no other codes registered. It shut off two times after the camshaft was replaced. I took it back to the mechanic and it shut off on him 5 times. This car is unsafe. I am afraid to drive it, especially with have a young child.

I was driving my car for 3 minutes, made a left and all the sudden every light on the dashboard came on, the vehicle slowed and the engined died. I was able to get to the side of the street and park the car safely. It took two times for the car to start back up. I called Hyundai Santa Monica Dealership and was able to bring my car in. I have been here all day and since they cannot replicate the issue, they do not know what is wrong with the car. They also are not seeing a history of all the dashboard lights coming on. I have called Hyundai Customer Care and have started a claim with them as I do not feel safe driving this vehicle with an unknown issue. I was fortunate enough to be on a side street, but if this has happened in traffic or on a freeway, I would absolutely have been hit as the car immediately slowed and died without warning. There were no warning signs at the time this happened. I brought my car in for another issue a few weeks ago as there was a problem with the gas gauge and sensors. Previously, the car (on a filled gas take), would flash the gas tank, look empty, and the car slowed and stopped. They said they fixed this prior issue. I am worried to drive this car as I do not know what is wrong with it, and at this point, they do not know either. I have contacted Hyundai customer care team and filed a claim. I am waiting for a case manager to return my call and information on the next steps.

Hyundai put out a recall on Sep 22, 2023 and nothing has been done to fix the issue. Every day I get into my car to drive I am scared & terrified that the car will catch fire while I am in it and not only injure me, my child, or other passengers, but potentially other drivers on the road. I am also afraid to park anywhere due to the risk of the car catching fire. My car is my lifeline and I cannot afford to get another car. My workplace only has a parking garage, so I have no other place to park, so now everyday my car could potentially cause structural damages in the garage and other cars could be damaged. I don't want to be on the highway and not have time to get out of the car safely. If Hyundai knows there is a potential FIRE threat, every single car should be pulled off the road and replaced or fixed immediately. Not everyone will know what a fire smells like or if something malfunctions in the electrical system due to the fire/smoke, how will passengers be alerted to immediately pull over and leave the car. This recall sounds extremely urgent. Hyundai needs to be forced to fix all of the issues. Waiting 6 months already with these dangerous cars on the road is irresponsible and can potentially cause a lot of trauma to people, such as myself. Leaking brakes should be considered a high priority and I do not understand why it is not being looked at that way. Hyundai is putting so many lives in danger on the road and its inexcusable.

I received the recall notice for Recall 251, NHTSA Recall #23V651000. Per the instructions, I have been parking my car outside while awaiting the remedy. I have checked back numerous times to see if a remedy was available. Yesterday my driver's side lock in the handle was broken in an attempted break-in/theft, which most certainly would not have happened if the car was in my garage. I believe the company has not remedied the defect in a reasonable time period and the delay has directly led to further damage of my vehicle.

It has been six months since this recall (Manufacturer Recall Number 251; NHTSA Recall Number 23V651000) was issued. It is not yet complete. This is an unreasonable amount of time to wait for a remedy.

There is still not a remedy and we have been notified of this problem since November. Having to wait 6 months for a remedy and the chance that it might catch on fire is highly dangerous and scary! There is no reason that this should take so long. Can the manufacturer not do something about this.

Nothing has happened yet but: The anti-lock brake system is faulty. Hyundai says the brake system could explode into flame either parked or when driving. We were told to park the car at a distance from other cars. My apartment complex has a nearly full parking lot. Wherever I park someone can park next to me. Hyundai also says it is safe to drive. It is unnerving to have this issue, when I drive the car, which I need to do, I just hope for the best. It was my retirement car and I can't afford another. A fix for anti-lock brake fire hazard issue has not happened yet, and the recall was announced November 1, 2023.

The recall was issued in September and to date in February there is no remedy. The manufacturer has failed to provide remedy in a timely manner, leaving millions of vehicles unsafe for drivers including myself.

Sep 22,2023 Manufacturer Recall Number251 NHTSA Recall Number23V651000 This recall was issued over 4 months ago and a remedy is still not available.

there is no fix for the car and i cannot park the car where it would not injure persons or property the solution is for hyundai to replace the car or give me a free rental car till there is a fix -2013 elantra is subject to fire

I received notice about NHTSA Recall Number 23V-651 a few months ago. According to the Hyundai Recall website (their recall # is 251), the recall started September 22, 2023 and the status is "Incomplete. Remedy not yet available." I think over 3 months is long enough for Hyundai to be able to find a suitable remedy FOR A FIRE RISK. I would like to be able to have the recall completed and my car serviced for that issue ASAP. Thank you for your time and consideration.

There has been an open recall on my car, where it might catch fire, for months, and there is still no resolution. This seems crazy to me. My kids ride in that car.

I received a notice that I am driving a potential bomb and they will fix it. They are building a factory in my area for making new cars, but shouldn't they be required to fix their old cars before making new ones. They have no date for fixing my car which, basically, makes me without a vehicle indefinitely, which could be forever, if ever. I am unable to purchase a new car, so here I am with a bomb.

There was no incident. I’m complaining because Hyundai has yet to do anything to address the recall Sep 22,2023 Manufacturer Recall Number251 NHTSA Recall Number23V651000. Why aren’t you insisting that Hyundai starts repairing vehicles affected by a recall issued last September. And the last time my car was recalled for a different recall I had to wait 2 months to get an appointment with my dealer. So who knows how long it will take to resolve this current recall. How can you allow them to take so long to fix this serious problem. Do something!!

unknown, fire hazard to park or drive vehicle. Expedited measurements need to be taken on RECALL...reimbursement for a rental car until the problem can be fixed. Hazardous conditions if fire potential.

UNKNOWN - The safety of myself and my kids are being put at risk with the recent fire risk recall not being resolved by Hyundai immediately. I do not feel safe driving this car and I have notified/called my insurance company/my finance company, and the local Hyundai dealership for assistance and no help was provided to me. I need this resolved immediately.

The red dashboard light remains on all the time indicating a problem with the air bag. I'm not sure what is causing the light to remain on but it is concerning as I don't know whether airbag will deploy properly if needed. I recently visited the dealership for an appointment to install anti theft software due to recall. Two and a half hours later they presented me with an unsolicited appraisal of my vehicle with $1800 in recommended repairs to my car including $400 to replace a sun visor. During this unsolicited appraisal, the dealership neglected to list the red dashboard light that is constantly on. I believe that this is a common issue with Hyundai vehicles and should be fixed free as a recall because of safety concerns.

I took my car in to the dealership to have the anti-theft software update, I was told that the update would prevent my car from getting stolen using the USB method. Two weeks later, my car was stolen the police found it, and they had used the USB method to steal it so the software update did not work and the dealership isn’t taking accountability. This is an issue that needs to be looked into as they’re saying the software update will help, but it is not helping with all the car theft.

My transmission had to be fixed due to stopping unexpectedly due to gear changing automatically by itself, brakes keep leaking fluid then touching the ground with a tire popping sound underneath , and engine is messing up without warning of any problems with

Check engine light on. Vehicle jerks while I am driving.

I purchased this vehicle from Carvana and when diagnostics were done I was told the tire rods are bad and if I drove it itwould be like an accident waiting to happen. I have sat in the car. Never driven it yet. My boyfriend says not safe to drive. I am 68 years old and need a vehicle. Carvana sold this to me like this with other problems too and they are doing a runaround to get it fixed.

The car shuts down completely while driving — nothing works, cannot put in park, cannot turn back on, nothing. Took to dealership—no codes, cannot identify problem.

Car good

The airbags on the side of the driver's seat is very dangerous and can implode just by slamming the car door. I've also had an on-going issue with the break line ( lights ) the passenger side break light will not turn off, this issue is also very dangerous for myself and other drivers who do not know when I'm using the breaks due to this issue. I've brought the vehicle to Hyundai North Houston to have the break light inspected, ( that was about a week ago ) however I was told that they could not give me a loaner vehicle and the next appointment to inspect this vehicle would be as early as Aug 31,2022 and as late as September 2022. I've had technicians jump the battery several times due to this light not turning off. Many of the techs says it's the breakline and possibly a fuse that need to be changed. I also brought the vehicle to the purchase location ( Carmax/North Houston ) for inspection and service, but they did not address this as a problem during that time. The vehicle also seems to overheat more than what is normal and profusely leak water.There is also a problem with the tire sensors. The vehicle was given to me at purchase with the tire sensor lights on. I've had the sensors checked out and was informed there is no issue, now the sensor light does not illuminate even if the tire pressure is low. This vehicle has many dangerous driving components and should be investigated immediately.

Airbag light comes on a few minutes after I start driving. I had my local Hyundai dealership look into and they said they didn't get any diagnostic codes and were unable to replicate the issue when test driving. The problem happens every time I drive and the fact that the airbag light is on is very worrisome and from researching this issue it seems it's rather common.

Car was stolen. I believe the negligent design of the vehicle, and Hyundai's lack of communication/problem-solving, are at least partially at fault.

In July 2015 with 25k miles, the interior of the vehicle was leaking water from the sun visor as well as under the glove box. When I made a left turn I could hear water swishing from one side to the other, then saw water coming out from under the glove box area. Water also dripped from the drivers sun visor. I took it to the dealer in Troy MI and they blamed me for having dirty drain holes in the sun roof as well as having a wind deflector on the sun roof which caused dirt to build up and clog the drain holes. The sun roof and wind deflector were factory installed as I bought the vehicle brand new in 2013. The dealer did not remove the headliner to see if any mold was visible. They used an air compressor to clean out the clogged drain holes and charged me for the service even though the vehicle was still under warranty (dealer said it was not covered under warranty). I am not aware of the issue happening again, or if it did happen it wasn't enough water for me to notice. I however have and do smell mold in my vehicle daily. Today, June 7, 2022, with 116k miles, after leaving my car parked outside overnight with heavy rain I again experienced water build up inside the car. I saw water coming out from under the glove box and heard it swishing around. I called the dealer in Troy MI and was told they cannot service my vehicle, it is a 4 month wait for diagnosis. I called a second dealer in Macomb MI and was told the vehicle could not be looked at until August and all expenses would be my responsibility. The service tech stated the car would need to be torn apart (dash, door, headliner, etc) to find where the water was coming from. A dealer in Southfield MI would be able to service the vehicle two days from now, I'm suppose to drive two days with water swishing around? What electrical safety issues are at hand here? It seems as though HYUNDAI has a defect in the design or part(s) which is causing this issue. I am also concerned with mold growth from back in 2015.

I was stopped at a traffic light, when my car stalled out and shut off, completely random, no warning signs whatsoever. No warning lights, no weird unusual sounds from the vehicle, just all of a sudden it shuts off! So I had to hurry and put it into park, turn the key back to off, and try to turn it back on. It BARELY started, once it was started we had a green light plus it sounded like it was going to stall out on me again. BUT when I pressed down on the gas peddle, there wasn't any normal acceleration. The car was in 5th gear and wouldn't shift down to allow it to accelerate at all like it should. So I am trying to get out of the middle of the intersection, had the peddle to the floor, and it's barely moving. While I'm trying not to die, I also noticed that there was NO RPMS being shown on the dashboard. Like absolutely 0 RPMS. This isn't the only time this has done this to me!! It seems like it's becoming more frequent, although still without warning indicating that it was going to act this way. And of course it's been at a busy intersection, basically playing chicken with my life. My husband hooked up a code reader to see if anything pops up and nothing indicates any sort of problem. It will be going to the shop for them to look at asap, but I haven't been able to successfully replicate the issue on command, it just does it whenever it wants to, conveniently when it's just myself and my 9 year old son in the car, no one else that may be mechanically inclined along. This has happened twice now, 1st time last week, and the latest time was today. It gets serviced regularly like it's supposed to, and it will be up for inspection in July 2022.

The car keeps stalling at a stop light in the middle of a very busy road. EPS, battery, oil, check engine light comes on. I have to turn the car off, and then back on. Sometimes it take it a few times before it will finally start. Everyone keeps flying up on me honking their horn, and I finally got pulled over to a parking lot. My safety and others are at risk while driving this car, and also my anxiety is through the roof because I never know when it will cut off or if it will even crank up after. The car had to be towed to the shop to be checked out in the next few days, because check engine light came on and wouldn’t go off this time. I really hope this situation gets resolved, because I’m tired of having a fear of wether or not I’ll make it to work. Or back home.

The steering wheel is loose. It rattles when I drive especially when I drive over rough areas like train track, pot hole or something like that. I can tell it is very loose when I am making turns. There is also issue with fuel smell inside my car. I frequently smell gas. To the point where I have to let the window down to let air in. The gas fumes are strong. The gas issue has been a problem for 2-3 years.

TWO issues, that are, at times related: * First, intermittent airbag dash warning light enabled; comes and goes, no obvious trigger (bumps, turns, etc.). This has been occurring for two weeks. // * Second, if I stop and turn off the car while the airbag light is lit, the vehicle will remain in accessory mode, with radio and climate control still on, and the dash display says to shift the car to park (it is in park) and that the key is not in the vehicle, and when I attempt to lock the car with either key fob or door lock control, it will not lock. This has been occurring for nearly a week, first on 2/1/22 as I was attending my father's funeral. I have seen that there was a recall for the airbag issue for same year/make/model, but my car does not appear to be one of those included in the recall (searched by VIN). However, the second issue is the most critical, as I am prevented from securing the vehicle if this intermittent issue occurs. I have not taken vehicle to mechanic or dealer.

Confirmed the customer's complaint &found the engine didn't start. Inspected the ignition system & the air intake system, but found no concerns. Inspected the engine coolant level & condition & found the engine coolant level was fair. Filled the engine coolant to the proper operating level & continued diagnosing the vehicle. Connected an engine coolant pressure tester to the radiator & pressurized the engine cooling system to check for leaks. Inspected the engine cooling system & didn't find a leak. Removed the spark plugs for inspection & found the spark plugs were contaminated but Ok. Perform inspections of the engine compression & found compression was low. Under 60PSI. Prop the wiring to the starter & found signal was present & the starter cranks but the engine would not turn over. These results verified that Some internal components in the engine have failed. *NOTE: Found ignition coil cylinder 1 fault, causing P0301. Misfire. Replace with new ignition coil pack The tech inspected the engine. Found no obvious fault. No warning indicator. The computer shows the engine is running normally. He did check all the components & found a couple that was weak or will be going bad soon. The ignition coil for the remaining 3 cylinders is firing slightly weak. There are 4 coils, you replace 1, the remaining 3 are from the old engine, original until now. He's recommending having those coil packs replaced. That's helped the spark plug fire more properly. Also, the oxygen sensor on the exhaust pipe. the reading shows the O2 is switched late, meaning the electronic sensor is getting weak. It will fail soon, once it does, it will set the engine light .Engine Mounts: Right: With the engine at idle, performed an inspection of the engine compartment and found the engine shook. Turned the engine off & performed a visual inspection of the engine compartment & found that an engine mount was weak or damaged. The issue has been ongoing for months prior to this issue.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Elantra. He stated that while driving at various speeds, he would intermittently smell a strong gasoline odor emitting from the vehicle. The contact had taken the vehicle to several dealers and each dealer informed him that there were no failures with his vehicle. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.

The subframe bushing that holds engine in place has deteriorated. With this issue as you hit potholes, rough roads, the subframe assembly shifts allowing vehicle to sway and drift out of the lane. This is a severe problem as I made several emergency stops due to the car vibrating and pulling extremely hard to the right at which steering wheel was straight an tires where straight. With this shifting if the bolts where to break off you lose complete control of vehicle except for your braking whether it's city or highway driving. With 2 lane roads and ditches if this was to happen you can be looking at a fatal accident or very severe accident. This issue needs to be addressed as it is a safety concern whenever this issue starts to present itsslf.

It's the truck latch issue that is being recalled on many vehicles. Might just locked (truck) and will not open. I will have to bring it in to the dealer but believe that my vehicle should be on the recall list as others have the same problem. Please help. Thank you.

Just bought this car used for my teenager. 127,000 miles and inspected by a mechanic and cleared with no issues. Brought it home and have driven it ONCE and it has started making a clicking sound that goes away once the car warms up. Took it back to the mechanic who said it is a piston issue and the engine will need to be replaced. $4-7k to replace an engine on a car I just paid $9k to buy. I went looking online for more information and have seen numerous complaints and even a law suit settled out of court for this exact same issue but no recall. This is nuts. That it is known that the pistons are bad on this car and can potential blow up the engine and need replacing but nothing has been done to fix it.

I was driving my 2013 elantra on the highway and I hit a chuck hole the engine shut off and was stuck in the middle of traffic.I also have had instances when I will be in traffic and car will shut off sometimes the car will restart immediately and sometimes it will not. The car has a box on the battery that will also become loose from vibration that will prevent car from restarting. Thank God I was able to put car I. Neutral and restart it. This poses a safety risk for not only myself but others. also have had problems with the steering when you hit a bumb or a rough spot on the road car starts to shake and the ability to maintain control is effected.. the brake lights jeep blowing. This car is just a safety haza6 period. It is the worst car I have ever have and regret everyday that I bought it. They should order not only safety recalls but a recall for all cars made in 2013

My car was gone because the brakes were not properly working the day of my accident.

One day while driving on a smooth road, my steering wheel began shaking and has not stopped since. I've taken it to our mechanic who indicated my rotors are fine, which he said would normally cause shaking like that. The steering wheel makes a clinking sound with the slightest movement, and every time I brake I have to firmly hold the steering wheel due to the excessive shaking. Sometimes my EPS sensor will go off. My mechanic has replaced some parts-specifically a "plastic coupler" in the steering wheel, but this shaking keeps happening. After researching forums online many people have reported similar/same issues, and link it to a plastic coupler in the vehicle, that Hyundai says is not covered in any recalls.

First even though it is an eight year old car. It only has 28,540 miles on it. No accidents. for the past few weeks the ESC light keeps coming on. I noticed there are many others with this manufacturer having the same problem, in fact there is a recall for this model ending in 2012. The dealer wants 850 to change replace the front left hub. I believe this is a manufacturing issue. thank you Michael Turner

When I start up and drive my car, the airbag light is on and it reamins on. I have nothing on or against the seat. Not sure if this means airbags are malfunctioning?

WE BROUGHT OUR VEHICLE IN, UNDER WARRANTY, FOR ENGINE NOISES AND STALLING. WE WERE TOLD THE PREVIOUS OWNER COULD HAVE NEGLECTED MAINTENANCE AND WE SHOULD DO MORE FREQUENT OIL CHANGES TO SOLVE THE ISSUE(OIL SLUDGE). THIS WENT ON FOR MONTHS AND THE ISSUE ONLY GOT WORSE. BY THE TIME THE ISSUE WAS DIAGNOSED(PISTONS), WE WERE OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOONE WOULD HELP US. WE LATER FOUND OUT THEY COVERED SOME BEARING ISSUES, BUT NOT PISTON ISSUES. WE DID EVERYTHING RECOMMENDED. THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ME DOCUMENTS, I HAVE ASKED MANY TIMES FOR THEM(MCGRATH HYUNDAI OF CEDAR RAPIDS). THIS WAS 2 YEARS AGO. WE ENTERED A CLASS ACTION SUIT THINKING WE WOULD GET THE HELP WE DESERVED. WE AREN'T GETTING HELP FROM THE SETTLEMENT AND THEY ARE NOW SAYING WE WERE OUT OF WARRANTY UPON PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. IF WE HAD THE MONEY TO REPLACE WE WOULD BE GETTING FULL REIMBURSEMENT, BUT WE GET NOTHING SINCE WE WERE FINANCIALLY UNABLE. THE PEOPLE THAT DID GET THE REPLACEMENT ENGINE ARE STILL HAVING ISSUES. I WOULD LIKE THIS ENGINE TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE AND NOT THE DRIVER/PURCHASERS FAULT.

THE TRUNK'S LATCH FAILS TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. I TRIED USING A LONG SCREWDRIVER TO RELEASE THE LATCH FROM THE INSIDE AND IT WON'T GIVE IN, EVEN WHEN I TRY OPENING FROM THE OUTSIDE AT THE SAME TIME. I DISCOVERED THIS PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR WAS ON AND IN PARK. I ALSO FAILED TO OPEN IT WITH THE CAR OFF AND THE CAR IN PARK.

THE ESC LIGHT ILLUMINATES PERIODICALLY AND WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AT SPEEDS AS LOW AS 25 MPH. I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE ESC SYSTEM OFF FOR SAFETY REASONS, BECAUSE THIS WOULD BE DISASTROUS ON THE FREEWAY OR HIGHWAY. THERE ARE NO OBD2 CODES THAT ARE IN THE SYSTEM. I CHANGED OUT THE STEERING FLEX COUPLER, BECAUSE IT HAD DISINTEGRATED, AND WAS MAKING STEERING DIFFICULT.

I GET IN WHILE ITS PARKED STATIONARY ON THE STREET, TURN THE KEY, ALL THE LIGHTS COME ON, I CAN HEAR THE FUEL PUMP KICK ON, (THERE IS NO CLICK), AND NOTHING HAPPENS. AFTER I REPEATEDLY TURN THE KEY IT HAS BEEN STARTING BUT I AM AFRAID IT WILL JUST NOT START AT SOME POINT. CALLED THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THEY CAR, THEY SAID TO CALL THE HYUNDAI DEALER. CALLED HYUNDAI DEALER, THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WOULD HAVE TO REPLICATE PROBLEM (THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM) THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR WITH THEM, WITH NO CHANCE OF A LOANER (I CANNOT AFFORD TO UBER 26 MILES A DAY). I TOLD THEM ONCE I GET IT STARTED FOR THE DAY, IT USUALLY STARTS RIGHT BACK UP AFTER BEING TURNED OFF. I TOOK A VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM THIS MORNING. IT HAD THE SAME TROUBLE STARTING THIS MORNING WHEN COLD, AND THEN WHEN I GOT TO WORK, 13 MILES AWAY, I TURNED IT OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO START IT, IT DID THE SAME THING (THATS WHY I OBTAINED THE VIDEO OF THE ISSUE). I AM GOING TO HAVE TO BORROW A FAMILY MEMBERS CAR TO DRIVE WHILE THEY DIAGNOSE THIS WIDELY REPORTED PROBLEM THEY HAVE "NEVER HEARD OF". I OWNED A 2007 ELANTRA SINCE IT WAS NEW AND JUST SOLD IT TO BUY THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE.. I NEVER HAD ONE ISSUE IN 13 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY AND RECALL THIS ISSUE.

MY ELANTRAS BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON. MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, EPS LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ARE ALWAYS ON AS WELL. I SEE WHERE MY VEHICLE IS SHOWN THAT THE RECALLS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED ON MY CAR AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IS TRUE OR THIS WOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. MY BRAKES LIGHTS CONSTANTLY BEING ON IS A MAJOR PROBLEM BECAUSE THAT CAN CAUSE CONFUSION ON OTHER DRIVES AND ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M REALLY USING THEM TO SLOW DOWN. I'M ALWAYS HAVING TO CONSTANTLY REPLACE THE LIGHT BULBS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AS WELL WHICH IS ODD. I'M VERY CONCERNED AND FRUSTRATED AND WISH I WOULD RECEIVE ASSISTANCE IN FIXING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN ANY WRECKS WITH MY VEHICLE EITHER. I ALSO HAD SOMEONE CHECK MY CAR FOR ANY CODES AND VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR CAME UP AS WELL AS BRAKE SWITCH.

WE WERE DRIVING TO TAKE ONE OF MY KIDS DR APPOINTMENT. WE STOPPED TO GET DRINKS FOR THE ROAD. WE TURNED THE CAR OFF CAME BACK TO LEAVE AND IT WOULD NOT START FIX THE PROBLEM THAT IT SAID AND THAT DIDNT FIX IT. WHEN YOU GO TO START IT IT WANTS TO TURN OVER BUT CANT CATCH EVERYTHING STILL WORKS THE WAY IT SHOULD PISTONS MOVE HAVE POWER TO EVERYTHING,TIMING CHAIN DIDNT JUMP THE SPARK PLUGS STILL ALL GET SPARK.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN AND WAS ALMOST RUN INTO BY SEVERAL CARS BEHIND AND BESIDE THE CAR. THE CARS ENGINE HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE SEIZED UP EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO WARNING OF EITHER LOW OIL PRESSURE OR HIGH ENGINE TEMP OR ANY ENGINE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR. THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED. THIS COLD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER HAD THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE HAD NOT TAKEN HEROIC MEASURES TO GET THE VEHICLE SAFELY PULLED OVER AND STOPPED. THIS ACTION COULD HAVE CAUSED THE DRIVER AND POSSIBLY THE OTHER VEHICLES BESIDE AND BEHIND SERIOUS INJURIES AND OR POSSIBLY A FATALITY. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE OTHERS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE OVER IT.

THE VEHICLE HAS A STRANGE SOUND WHEN STARTED UP IN THE MORNINGS. ALMOST LIKE A TICKING OR SMALL KNOCKING SOUND. WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK UP IT STARTS TO JERK LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO SHUT OFF. ALSO THAT SAME JERKING OCCURS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN MY CAR IS AT THE SPEED 35 IT STARTS TO JERK LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO SHUT OFF TOO. IT HAPPENS ALL DAY LONG BETWEEN THE SPEEDS 35 TO 65. WHEN I TURN ON THE AC MY CAR MAKES A WEIRD SQUEAKING NOSE AND ALSO JERKS LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO GIVE OUT AGAIN. I HAVE HAD ALL MY FLUIDS CHECK AND EVERYTHING IS JUST FINE. I DONT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR. IT STARTED HAPPENING THE SAME DAY I GOT MY VEHICLE FROM A SMALL USED CAR LOT ON MARCH 4TH 2019. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE DAY I HAVE LEFT. I CALLED THE GUY WHO SOLD MY THE CAR AND HE TOLD ME T WAS PROBABLY THE GAS BEING BAD SINCE THE CAR SIT SO LONG ON THE LOT. BUT IT HAS NEVER STOPPED.

I HAVE A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA COUPE WHICH IS EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE MDPS FLEXIBLE COUPLING. THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS CURRENTLY COVERED UNDER THE RECALL FOR HYUNDAI ELANTRA AND SONATA BUT NOT THE ELANTRA COUPE 2 DOOR MODEL WHICH I HAVE. THE ELANTRA COUPE MODEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

VEH SHUTS OFF WHEN DROPS BELOW 1-0 RPMS, USUALLY WHEN MAKING TURNS OR SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A STOP. ON FEW OCCASIONS IT TURNED OFF WHILE JUST DRIVING DOWN STREET. NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN . IT'S JUST LIKE SOMEONE TURNS THE KEY OFF, NOT A STALL . THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERY DAY SINCE AT LEAST DEC OF 2018..IT IS NOW MAR 2019. IT IS HAPPENING MORE & MORE FREQUENTLY.

DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING

I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION ON MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. I HAVE BEEN IN 2 NEAR ACCIDENTS IN THIS CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN JULY OF 2018. MY REGULAR MECHANIC THOUGHT IT WAS A CAR MAT PROBLEM AND REMOVED THE MAT. THIS WAS AFTER MY CAR ACCELERATED SO HIGH THAT I JUMPED THE CURB AND LANDED IN THE YARD. IT DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I PUT IT IN PARK. I HAVE WITNESSES WHO SAW THIS HAPPEN. I DROVE THE CAR FOR 2 MORE WEEKS WITHOUT THE CAR MAT AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME WITH MY NIECE IN THE CAR. IT DID NOT STOP UNTIL I PUT IT IN PARK. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP BUT THEY DO NOT TAKE THE CAR OUT DRIVING ENOUGH TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEY WANT ME TO PICK UP THE CAR. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND FIND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI VEHICLES. WHEN IS SOMEBODY GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPOT IN MY APARTMENT BUILDING. THE SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING AND TRIED TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT WHEN IT HAPPENED. HYUNDAI DOESN'T GIVE A [XXX]. THEY THINK THAT AFTER DRIVING FOR OVER 40 YEARS, I AM SUDDENLY GETTING MY PEDALS MIXED UP!!!!! TELL THAT TO [XXX] WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

I BOUGHT MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA USED WITH OVER $60,000 MILES ALREADY DRIVEN. I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR MY CAR AND TOOK IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. WHEN I GOT MY CAR BACK AFTER THE 'FREE REPAIR' I NOTICED A CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE LEFT WHEEL OR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL. I TOLD THE DEALER WHO SAID I DON'T HAVE EXTENDED MAINTENANCE COVERAGE ON IT UNLESS I PURCHASE ONE WHICH I WAS QUOTED ANOTHER $300 PLUS A MONTH ON TO COVER REPAIRS. I AM PAYING $238.22 A MONTH ON TIME SINCE JUNE 2017 AND INSURANCE. DO I HAVE TO SPEND MORE THAN MY BUDGET FOR A CAR SOLD TO ME WITH THE PROMISE IT HAD NO PROBLEMS? I DON'T THINK IT'S RIGHT THAT I HAVE TAKEN OVER SOMEONE'S USED CAR THAT OBVIOUSLY I AM EXPECTED TO PAY FOR DOUBLE BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES THE CAR HAD AND WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO ME WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THE CLICKING SOUND ON THE WHEEL IS LOUD WHEN I AM DRIVING SLOWLY.

POSSIBLE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR FAILURE. CAR WILL NOT START PROPERLY OR STALLS AFTER STARTING AND SHIFTING GEARS.HAPPENS EVERY FEW MONTHS. NEW BATTERY, SPARK PLUGS AND TUNE UP COMPLETED JULY 2018.NO ALTERNATOR/STARTER ISSUES NOTED AFTER MECHANICAL TESTING.

VEHICLE KEEPS SHUTTING OFF/ STALLING. FIRST DEALER CLAIMED IT WAS A YAW RATE SENSOR. SENSOR WAS CHANGED AND DID NOT SOLVE ISSUE. IT WAS ALSO EXPERIENCING FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS, GAS WOULD LEAK WHEN FILLING AND GAS WOULD NOT CALCULATE MILEAGE OR UPDATE. SECOND DEALER DID NOT SEE A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM. NOW BELIEVES ITS A ECM PROBLEM. THEY DID NOT WANT TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY.

"TAKATA RECALL" 2013 ELANTRA WILL DISPERSE A HUGE CLOUD OF SMOKE WHEN ACCELERATING QUICKLY MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR DRIVERS BEHIND ME TO SEE. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY BUT MOST OFTEN WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY MAKING IT INCREDIBLY UNSAFE FOR PEOPLE BEHIND ME. THERE IS SO MUCH SMOKE IT TAKES ABOUT 30 SECONDS TO A MINUTE TO FOR ME TO SEE THE CARS BEHIND ME. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS AND VIDEOS OF IT HAPPENING. DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE OF AN OVERFLOW OF OIL BECAUSE I WAS GETTING OIL CHANGES OUTSIDE THE DEALER. THE DEAL CHANGED MY OIL IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. DIFFERENT DEALERS HAVE DIFFERENT EXCUSES OF WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE DRIVERS BEHIND THESE VEHICLES AND I AM SURE NOT GOOD FOR THE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING (ROUGHLY 55-60 MPH) ON HWY 50 TO TAHOE THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF ON MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. THERE WAS A LOUD SHOTGUN SOUND WHICH WAS FOLLOWED BY THE GLASS OF THE SUNROOF FALLING BETWEEN THE CLOTH COVER INTO THE CAR ON US. THERE WAS NO ROCKS OR GIANT PINECONES NEAR BY THAT COULD HAVE STRUCK THE CAR OR CAUSED THE DAMAGE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE TURNPIKE AT 75 MPH MY CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. IT JERKED VIOLENTLY AND THEN POWERED BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED IN THE DARK AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS EITHER. THIS HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 70 OR MORE. PRIOR TO THIS THE EPS LIGHT CAME ON I TOOK IT IN DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IN TO THE DEALER AS IT WILL NEED TO BE TOWED. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON - TOOK TO DEALER TO FIND OUT WHY - TOLD THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE NEEDED REPLACED (CODE B1620) AT A WHOPPING COST OF $1400! PLUS THE $110 IT COST ME TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. I HAVE A WARRANTY HOWEVER THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS NOT COVERED AND I FIND THAT VERY UPSETTING AS THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON AIR BAGS NOT GOING OFF BECAUSE OF THIS UNIT! THE CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON IT. THIS SHOULD NOT GO BAD AND IF IT DOES HYUNDAI SHOULD TAKE CARE OF IT AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE! HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE DIE BEFORE HYUNDAI GETS INVOLVED? ITS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED - OBVIOUSLY PROFITS OUT WEIGH SAFETY WITH THEM.

EXPLODING SUNROOF WHILE DRIVING ON A CLEAR, SUNNY, 70 DEGREE DAY ON A SMOOTH INTERSTATE AT 60 MPH, RIGHT LANE ABOUT TO EXIT, SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH. SAW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AROUND ME THAT COULD HAVE HIT ME AND NOT KNOWING WHAT, QUICKLY SLOWED TO PULL OVER ON SHOULDER BEFORE MY DESTINED EXIT, WHERE I DETERMINED ON A HIGHWAY OF FAST MOVING CARS, THAT MY FORWARD PIECE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. HAD CAR TOWED AS I DIDN'T WANT MORE FLYING GLASS ON HWY. ORIGINAL OWNER FOR 25000 MILES, GARAGE KEPT AND HAVE TAKEN CARE OF MINOR RECALLS TO DATE. MY ELANTRA GT MODEL IS CLOSE TO VELOSTAR, BOTH SIMILAR WITH FULL PANORAMIC SUNROOFS, WHICH I UNDERSTAND HAS HAD ROOF RECALLS SINCE. ELANTRAS HAVE NOT? DEALER DENIED THIS BEING ANYTHING BUT A FLUKE AND FIRST EXAMINED FOR A ROCK OR BULLET, WHICH WAS NEVER FOUND. I PROVIDED MY INSURANCE INFO. WHILE IT HAS SINCE BEEN VERBALLY REPRESENTED TO ME BY DEALER THAT MANUFACTURER WOULD DO THE RIGHT THING BY ME AND WAIVE THE ONE MONTH PURPORTEDLY BEYOND 5 YR WARRANTY AND REPLACE, CAR IS STILL WITH DEALER ONE WEEK LATER AS MECHANIC HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH INSTALL. GLASS STILL IN TRACK RENDERING IT IMMOVABLE I'VE BEEN TOLD, STILL WORKING ON IT ALTHOUGH INITIALLY SUGGESTED A ONE DAY JOB AFTER PART CAME. I HAVE NO CAR 1 WEEK LATER, NO LOANER ALLOWED FROM DEALER NO INFO ON COMPLETION. DEALERS NEED TO BE EDUCATED ON THIS DEFECT THEY SEEM TO DENY, THEIR MECHANICS TRAINED AND PUBLIC NOTIFIED OF THIS CONCERN. I ALSO DON'T EXPECT TO PURCHASE A CAR THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO LATER FIX. I WAS LUCKY MY INNER SLIDE WAS CLOSED AS GLASS PIECES FLOATED ON TOP. THE EFFECTS ON MY NERVOUS SYSTEM REMAIN. THE MAIN INNER PART OF THE GLASS DISAPPEARED ON THE HIGHWAY; NEVER SAW WHERE IN MY REAR VIEW. HOPE NO ONE BEHIND ME SUFFERED WHICH I NEVER DID SEE. CHP WAS INFORMED. HELP DO THE RIGHT THING BY THE PUBLIC SAFETY AND RECALL THESE EXPLOSIVE MONSTERS.

MY VEHICLE HAD AN ONGOING WATER LEAK INTO THE REAR HATCH AREA AND UNDER INTO THE SPARE TIRE AREA UNDER THE CARPET/REMOVAL FLOOR. THE LEAK COULD NOT BE TRACED FOR MONTHS AND CAME AND WENT. FINALLY FROM ANOTHER OWNERS HELP WE TRACED IT TO THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF. THE OUTER PLASTIC "FRAME" THAT HELPS SUPPORT AND FIT THE SUNROOF TO THE CAR CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR. IT WAS APPROXIMATELY ABOVE THE REAR SEAT HEADREST OR JUST BEHIND IT UNDER THE HEADLINER. DROPPING THE HEADLINER WAS NECESSARY TO FIND THE CRACK AND LEAK. IF THE CAR SAT ON A SLIGHT INCLINE WITH THE REAR OF THE CAR AT THE LOWEST POINT ABOUT .5" OF WATER WOULD ACCUMULATE INTO THE SPARE TIRE AREA OVER TIME. GRANTED THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT LEAKED IN DEPENDED ON HOW MUCH IT RAINED AND FOR HOW LONG. ALSO DURING THIS SAME TIME THAT THE LEAK WAS ONGOING, THE SUNROOF WOULD MAKE EXCESSIVE CREAKING AND NOISE WHEN DRIVING OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT. I CANT HELP BUT ASSUME THAT THE CRACK WAS EITHER DEVELOPING OR ALREADY PRESENT WHILE THE NOISE WAS HEARD. THE SUNROOF ENDED UP BEING REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY.

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN A LOUD EXPLOSIVE SOUND LIKE A GUNSHOT OCCURRED. THE CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY, I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN HIT, ALTHOUGH NOTHING HAD BEEN CLOSE TO ME. WHEN I REALIZED I WAS STILL DRIVING ON ALL FOUR TIRES AND NOT FLIPPING END FOR END, THOUGH THE WHEEL WAS STILL VIBRATING VIOLENTLY, I FELT GLASS RAINING DOWN ON MY HEAD AND THERE WAS EXTENSIVE AIR NOISE. I LOOKED UP AND ALMOST ALL THE ENTIRE PANORAMIC SUNROOF WAS GONE, AND WHAT WAS LEFT WAS FALLING ON MY HEAD. THE ROAD WAS SMOOTH, THERE WAS NO OVERPASS NEAR, AND NO CARS WERE IN MY IMMEDIATE VICINITY. I PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP.

MY CAR INTERMITTENTLY WON'T START. IT HAPPENED FOR THE THIRD TIME IN 10-11 MONTHS JUST TWO DAYS AGO AND IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN. THE SHOP HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, BUT THE LIGHTS HAVE NEVER BEEN LEFT ON NOR HAS A DOOR BEEN LEFT AJAR BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO SET THE ALARM IF THIS WERE THE CASE AND THE ALARM HAS BEEN SET CORRECTLY EACH TIME. LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED, 6 MONTHS AGO, THEY PERFORMED A TEST ON THE BATTERY AND IT TESTED POOR SO THEY REPLACED IT CONVINCED THAT WAS IT, THOUGH I TOLD THEM I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS THE ISSUE WITH IT. NOW, ONE OF MY WARRANTIES HAS TIMED OUT, BUT IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN WITH A BRAND NEW BATTERY. I DID A SEARCH AND SOMEONE POINTED ME TO THIS WEBSITE BECAUSE OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH IT. I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO GET THE DEALERSHIP TO CORRECTLY IDENTIFY WHAT THE ISSUE IS SO IT CAN BE FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL. I HAVE SEEN, IN THE SEARCH I DID, THAT OTHERS MENTIONED THINGS LIKE THE SHIFT INTERLOCK, RANGE SWITCH, FAULTY RAIN SENSOR, SHIFTER ASSEMBLY, OR SHIFTER ASSEMBLY CABLE. I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THIS CAR? THE CAR WAS SITTING IN MY GARAGE AND HAD BEEN DRIVEN WITH NO ISSUES LESS THAN 24 HOURS BEFORE. IT WAS SO DEAD IT WOULDN'T EVEN UNLOCK USING THE KEY FAB. I USED THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR, NO LIGHTS WENT ON, IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK CAME, THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE CHARGER TO BE ABLE TO MOVE IT OUT OF THE GARAGE ONTO THE TRUCK AND WITHIN JUST A FEW SECONDS THE CAR'S LIGHTS TURNED ON AND THE ALARM STARTED GOING OFF. HE WAS ABLE TO START IT AND DRIVE IT ONTO THE TRUCK THEN WITH NO ISSUES. I HAVE INVOICES FROM THE PAST SHOWING WHAT TESTS WERE PERFORMED, BUT ESSENTIALLY THEY HAVE TESTED THE ALTERNATOR AND STARTER AND SAID THEY TESTED FOR A PARASITIC DRAW, BUT SO FAR THE ONLY ACTUAL FIX THEY HAVE DONE IS TO REPLACE THE BATTERY 6 MONTHS AGO.

THE ENGINE OF MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GLS FAILED TO START THE MORNING OF 1/3/17 WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. I TURNED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE, BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T START OR EVEN TRY TO TURN OVER. AFTER APPX. 15 ATTEMPTS, IT FINALLY STARTED. I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY HOPING THAT WOULD FIX PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM REPEATED ON 1/18/17, AGAIN WHILE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. AFTER ROUGHLY 50 ATTEMPTS TO START THE CAR AND TRYING TO WIGGLE THE GEAR SHIFT, IT FINALLY STARTED. I THEN DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LEFT THE CAR WITH THEM OVERNIGHT. THE FOLLOWING DAY I WAS ADVISED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT SINCE THEY COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR TRIGGER ANY DIAGNOSTIC CODES, THEY COULD NOT REPAIR IT OR REPLACE ANY PARTS. FORTUNATELY, TO DATE I HAVE BEEN IN SAFE PLACES DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS WHEN MY CAR FAILED TO START. HOWEVER, I MAY NOT ALWAYS BE SO FORTUNATE AND COULD POSSIBLY BE STRANDED IN A VERY VULNERABLE LOCATION IN THE FUTURE. OUT OF THE 430 COMPLAINTS LISTED AGAINST THE 2013 ELANTRA ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, ROUGHLY 7% OF THE OWNERS REPORTED EXPERIENCING THIS IDENTICAL PROBLEM. A FURTHER SEARCH OF THE INTERNET REVEALS MANY, MANY MORE SUCH COMPLAINTS. ONE MIGHT BELIEVE THAT COULD INDICATE THE EXISTENCE OF A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM; YET, IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS ISSUED ANY RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS SPECIFIC TO MY VEHICLE MODEL TO ADDRESS/FIX THIS ENGINE FAILURE.

IT SOUNDED LIKE A STARTLING SHOTGUN BLAST FOLLOWED BY FALLING GLASS AND LOUD WIND NOISE. THE ONLY BARRIER BETWEEN ME, THE DRIVER, AND LARGE SHARDS OF BROKEN GLASS WAS THE INNER ROOF SHIELD, WHICH WAS FORTUITOUSLY CLOSED, OTHERWISE THE SHATTERED GLASS UNEXPECTEDLY FALLING ON MY HEAD/CUTTING ME WHILE DRIVING WOULD LIKELY LEAD TO MY FACE, HEAD AND ARMS BEING CUT, A HIGHWAY COLLISION OR WORSE, A MULTI-CAR COLLISION.

I PICKED UP MY CAR AND 11 DAYS LATER THE CAR WOULDN'T START UP AGAIN. ITS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 3 WEEKS NOW. LAST I HEARD THEY ARE REPLACING: THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY, TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH, AND BRAKE SWITCH. I HAVE YET TO HEAR IF THE PARTS CAME IN AND IF THIS WILL FIX THE ISSUE. I RECEIVED A CALL ON 11/3/2016 AND NOW THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE CAR FAILING TO START AND HYUNDAI CANT EVEN FIGURE IT OUT, AS OF TODAY THEY HAD MY CAR FOR A TOTAL OF 25 DAYS AND STILL NO RESOLUTION. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AND RECALLED. IVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS DIRECTLY AND HAVE A CASE WITH THEM GOING ON. I SEE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE HAPPENING ON THIS MODEL, I HOP THIS WILL SOMEWHAT HELP. BE CONSISTENT AND DON'T TAKE NO FOR ANSWER, I AM STILL MAKING CAR PAYMENTS ON SOMETHING THAT IS NOT WORKING NOR I HAVE IS UNFAIR. SINCE THE CAR IS LESS THAN 60,000 MILES THIS WILL BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, IT SHOULD OF HAD TO TAKE ME 3 TIMES, CALLING A MANGER AND GOING TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS FOR THEM TO FINALLY TAKE MY ISSUE SERIOUS.

I JUST MOUNTED MY WINTER TIRES AND WAS MADE AWARE OF SEVERE WEAR AS IF ONLY 1/3 OF TIRE IS ACTUALLY IN CONTACT WITH THE ROAD SURFACE. IF THIS IS THE CASE, THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY THE CAR IS UNSTABLE IN POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS. I JUST HAD THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED AND IT WAS FINE. THE POOR DESIGN OF THE REAR END AS FAR AS TRACKING GOES COULD EXPLAIN WHY TIRES ARE WEARING OUT PREMATURELY AND WHY THE VEHICLES FISHTAIL. LISTED BELOW ARE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS: NHTSA ID NUMBER 10785827 10782948 10782179 10777921 10776596 10749640 10748705 10726713 10722309 10721075 10716682 10713795 10712467 10706333 10704445 10695023 10694257 10691288 10680416

FOR THE SIXTH TIME MY CAR WONT START.IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES AND IS VERY ANNOYING. I AM SICK OF THE DEALERSHIP SAYING THAT THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP FOR THEM OR THEY CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG.I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED AND IT HAS BEEN FIXED FOR A CAMPAIGN. ALL MY ELECTRIC STUFF TURNS ON WITH NO PROBLEM. NOW I AM CURRENTLY MISSING A DAY OF WORK THAT IS GOING TO BE UNPAID.

I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT WHEN I HEARD A LOT POP NOISE. I STOPPED THE CAR AND NOTICED MY ENTIRE SUNROOF HAVE SEVERAL CRACKS/SHATTERED BY WAS STILL IN PLACE. I DROVE HOME AND DISCOVERED THAT THE GLASS HAD STARTED TO CAVE IN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER THE NEXT WEEK AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED. THE HYUNDAI DEALER TOOK PICTURES AND SENT THEM TO THE MANUFACTURE. THEY REPLACED MY SUNROOF AFTER AN INVESTIGATION. I GOT MY CAR BACK A WEEK LATER.

TWICE IN A MONTH A PART MY CAR REFUSED TO START BOTH TIMES THE HYANDAI DEALER KEPT THE CAR OVER NIGHT AND THE NEXT FOR A WEEK. THEY COULD NOT FIND WHAT WRONG WITH IT. ONCE THE TOW GUY TOOK IT IN AND PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO GET IT ON TOW TRUCK....WOULDN'T YOU BELIEVE IT IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THE BATTERIES ARE GOOD AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL ITEMS COME ON .....BUT NO START. MY WARRANT WILL EXPIRE IN A COUPLE OF HUNDRED MILES AND I AM WORRIED I WILL NOT BE COVERED THE NEXT TIME. AND THERE WILL BE A NEXT TIME. I AM A SINGLE PARENT WITH KIDS AND FEEL VERY VULNERABLE ABOUT THIS.

THE PAINT STARTED PEELING AND CRACKING. HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO COVER REPAIRS TO THE HOOD, ROOF AND TRUNK. THE REMAINDER OF THE CAR HAD JUST AS MUCH FLAW IN THE CLEAR COAT AND AS A RESULT THE PAINT IS SPLOTCHY AND LOOKS MUCH OLDER THAN IT SHOULD. HONDA REFUSES TO COVER THIS ISSUE.

OVER THE PAST 11 MONTH THIS CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL INCIDENCES WHERE IT JUST WILL NOT START. ON A FEW OCCASIONS IT STARTED AFTER A COUPLE OF TRIES AND A FEW OCCASIONS WHERE IT WOULD NOT START WHEN I NEEDED IT TO BUT HAD NO PROBLEM STARTING AN HOUR OR TWO LATER. THIS WEEKEND WAS THE BIGGEST ISSUE. I PARKED MY CAR FRIDAY EVENING WITH NO INDICATION THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE BUT ON SATURDAY THE CAR WOULD NOT START, LATER ON SATURDAY THE CAR WOULD NOT START, SUNDAY THE CAR WOULD NOT START. HYUNDAI ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE SENT SOMEONE OUT TO JUMP MY CAR BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THEY SENT OUT A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HE USED THE SHIFT OVERRIDE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP ONCE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND IT DROVE JUST FINE. WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS UP BUT WHEN I TURN THE KEY TO START THE CAR, THE PANEL GOES OUT AND THERE IS NOTHING BUT SILENCE FROM THE ENGINE. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE IT IS NOT CAUSING ANY CODES TO GO TO THE COMPUTER. *JS

I PURCHASED THE CAR IN MARCH, IT WAS MY FIRST TIME BUYING A NEW CAR. WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER BUYING THE CAR I NOTICED A FEW RATTLING AND CLANKING NOISES. I BELIEVED THIS TO BE THE CARS MOVING PARTS, AND DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AT THE TIME, ESPECIALLY SINCE I WAS USED TO DRIVING USED CARS THAT SOUNDED WORSE. AFTER A FEW WEEKS, I NOTICED THAT THE NOISES WHERE NOTICEABLY LOUDER, ALONG WITH A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE WHEN I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM (UNIVERSAL HYUNDAI IN ORLANDO) WAS BOOKED UP SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT ORLANDO HYUNDAI. SHORTLY AFTER BRINGING MY CAR IN, AND HAVING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT LOOK AT THE CAR, I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME DEFECTIVE, THAT "THE LEFT AND RIGHT INNER TIRE RODS AND LOCK NUTS WERE LOOSE, THREADS WERE DAMAGED, AND THE LOCK NUTS WERE LEFT LOOSE FROM THE FACTORY". THE SERVICE MANAGER EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, AND THAT "ONE TIRE WOULD'VE WENT ONE WAY AND THE OTHER TIRE WOULD'VE WENT THE OTHER WAY, CAUSING YOUR CAR TO COME TO A SUDDEN HALT". THIS MIGHT HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, AND KNOWING THAT I WAS DRIVING THAT CAR ON THE HIGHWAY, TAKING TRIPS WITH MY FAMILY AND CHILDREN, WHILE THE CAR WAS DEFECTIVE WAS VERY SCARY AND UPSETTING. I WAS VERY EXCITED ABOUT PURCHASING A NEW CAR, AND HOPED THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE KINDS OF PROBLEMS. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND WANT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH HYUNDAI. I HAVE THE STATEMENT FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATING THAT THE FACTORY MADE A MISTAKE AND I PLAN ON FILING A COMPLAINT THROUGH HYUNDAI AND THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. *TR
