2012 Hyundai Elantra 4 DR FWD Early Release

Initially it stalled while idling in my driveway on 2 different occasions. Several days later on a short errand 8/2/21, it stalled at a red light, the engine puttered, and it failed to shift gears at 20-25 mph and 40-50 mph unless I alternated between letting off and then reapplying the accelerator. Just continuing to press the accelerator made it slow down. No warning lights came on, but I took it to a local repair shop. They couldn't replicate the problem on several attempts, so I picked it up and drove it home slowly. I was afraid to use it - trying to accelerate on an entrance ramp and having it slow down would be dangerous. After it sat 2 months, my husband went to drive it a little. It stalled at a stop sign and had trouble shifting gears again. When I went to drive it to the repair shop, the Check Engine light came on immediately. I drove it carefully, and it was OK. The shop called the next day. They replaced the crankshaft position sensor because of a code, and it was ready. On the way home, it shook violently and flashed the Check Engine light the 2 times it tried to go to second gear. I had it towed to the repair shop. They couldn't replicate the problem, so they replaced the crankshaft position sensor again. As soon as I started home, it acted up again. I went back and had a mechanic ride with me. It acted up. He said he hadn't pressed the accelerator as hard as I did, he'd never seen anything like it, and to take it to a Hyundai dealer. I had it towed to a Hyundai dealer. They replaced a switch inhibitor, valve solenoid, harness, and gasket valve body cover - all in the transmission. As soon as I started home, it acted up again. I turned around and took it back. That was 11/18/21. I called on 11/23/21 and told my service writer about the NHTSA investigation opened 11/12/21 for speed control problems and said I thought my car might be having this throttle problem. He said he hadn't heard about it, and he's going to call me back tomorrow.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Elantra. He stated that while his wife was driving at various speeds, the vehicle would independently brake with the ESC warning light illuminated. The contact's wife drove at a slower speed once the failure occurred. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer where they were unable to diagnose the vehicle failure. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V871000 (Electronic Stability Control) which he linked to the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 81,000.

Going down a hill breaks completely failed and had to go off road to avoid increased speed. Resulted in Hitting tree. By failed I mean no pressure on break pedal and with pedal pushed to floor it did nothing to slow or stop vehicle. Now breaks seem to be working again but worried this will reoccur while at faster speeds.

All of these issues occur in any weather or if the car is warmed up or not. They don’t occur all the time but about half the time. -From a standing stop (like when entering an intersection or turning on to a road) lightly pressing on gas pedal will get car moving then in 2-3 seconds it will stall out for 2 or 3 seconds, almost to the point of the engine stopping. At that point, moderately pressing on the gas again will cause the car to accelerate suddenly & forcefully. It is terrifying when a car is coming at you & you don’t know if it’s going to start accelerating or just die. -Driving and maneuvering in a parking lot is quite a risky adventure. At these slow speeds the car will randomly stall, lurch, hesitate & accelerate suddenly & forcefully with just a light touch on the gas pedal. Not the best performance when trying to park or maneuver around closely packed cars. -I have taken the car to the dealership at least 5 times to remedy this problem & they either said this behavior was not detectable or it was operating as designed. I have documentation consisting of service invoices. They obviously weren’t being truthful, considering the Recall & Class Action Lawsuit that has subsequently been issued dealing with this issue, revealing that HYUNDAI knew about this problem.

I honestly believe I was ripped off for this vehicle I’ve been having to replace one thing after another since I’d gotten it. The brake system on the front passenger side seems to keep grabbing when I’m not even touching the brake. every time I change the brakes only the front passenger side gets worn down way more then the others. I was thinking it was brake drag, but I litteraly greased my brakes and guide pens then it started making the squeeking noise again when I wasn’t touching the brake. It also compromises my engines functions. my engine lags out and I have a feeling it’s putting more torque into the engine and transmission than it was supposed to, and now is causing problems in them. It causes safety issues because the brakes are one of the most important systems on a vehicle it can cause me a bad accident if the caliper becomes to worn from heat damage, because it excessively is putting pressure on it. I haven’t taken it to the dealership to recreate the issue yet, but I did mention it in the very beginning because I had suspicions of my vehicle having problems, but they said they couldn’t find anything when they ran the vin. They didn’t actually test my vehicle which was what I needed. My check engine light has been on.

Engine- drive chain and running tough pet Firestone there’s a engine recall on 2012 Elantra

A pickup pulled in front of me causing my car to impact it. Despite significant frontal damage to my car the steering wheel airbag did not deploy.

Charging port. Doesn’t connect to phone. Unstable power source

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the air bag warning light was illuminated and turned off after 6 seconds. The contact also stated that the tire pressure system warning lights were illuminated prior to the failure. The contact stated on August 26, 2021, while starting the vehicle, the air bag warning light illuminated and remained illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

As with many people have reported my 2012 airbag light has come on. It appears to be the clock spring as other's have mentioned and airbag won't deploy unless fixed.

2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD WHILE BEING DRIVEN 1-2 MPH OUT OF A PARKING LOT. THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WENT OVER A PARKING SPOT BARRICADE, INTO A FEILD, AND CRASHED INTO A BOLDER. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONSUMER WENT INTO SHOCK. SUFFERED A CUT ON THE HAND REQUIRING STITCHES. THE CONSUMER SUFFERED AN AUTO IMMUNE DISEASE, SEVERE BODY PAINS, AND DEVELOPED INFLAMMATION REQUIRING TREATMENT WITH PREDNISONE.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that several attempts were needed to start the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the mechanic could not diagnose the failure. The mechanic replaced the battery, tires, and performed a tune up however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 111,000.

The steering wheel became stiff and car was undrivable and I almost crashed.

We purchased the four (4) weeks ago. On July 25, 2021 about 5:53 P.M. My step daughter was driving about 10 miles per hour making a left turn and the driver and passenger airbags deployed without a collision or impact of any kind. I contacted Hillsborough County Sheriff and we after inspection, the airbags deployed and the seat belts were locked. Therefore, we had to park the car at the Hillsborough Sheriff Office, located at 7202 Gunn Hwy, Tampa, FL 33625, Phone number (813) 247-0330. As per the officer advise we could not drive the car. The dealer has been notified of the incident. We can be reached at [XXX] [XXX]

My car need fixed

For no reason, the driver-side airbag light has come on (and stays on) in our 2-door 2012 Hyundai Elantra. It puts our daughter and son at risk, as the two drivers of the car, because the airbag may be defective and not deploy in the event of an accident. That is unacceptable. This is an auto-maker safety issue, and the consumer should NOT be responsible for having to get this repaired on their dime. Yet everything I read online is other Hyundai drivers have gotten this and the dealers are gouging them on the repairs. We will take it into the dealer, but in no way, shape or form should we have to pay for this repair! Please pay attention - many Hyundai drivers are reporting this same issue online, even if they are not reporting it directly to you at NHTSA!

I WAS DRIVING HEARD A LOUD BANG THEN I GOT HOME AND LOOKED THE STRUT COIL FRACTURED AND SNAPPED OFF AND WAS HANGING THERE

WHEN PUTTING THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISITOR DOWN AT FIRST IT WOULD JUST MAKE A CLICKING SOUND. THEN ONE DAY WOULD NOT GO ALL THE WAY BACK UP. WHEN I CHECKED , ABOVE THE MIRROR ON RIGHT HAND SIDE BY THE ARM, THE WHITE PLASTIC TRIM FOR THE VISOR IS BROKEN SO THE VISOR IS JUST KIND OF HANGING. SOMEWHAT BLOCKS VISION.

STEERING IN THIS CAR INTERMITTENTLY GOES IN AND OUT MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER THE CAR

LOSS OF POWER WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 80MPH. VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND TO INPUT ON GAS PEDAL, AND ENGINE PRODUCED MINIMAL POWER. NO LOSS OF ELECTRONICS OR STEERING. FROM A STOP, VEHICLE PRODUCED LIMITED POWER AND SPEED REACHED MAXIMUM SPEED OF 15-20MPH. AFTER 30MIN, VEHICLE RESPONDED NORMALLY. NO WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED DURING OR AFTER INCIDENT. REASON FOR FAILURE UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME.

AFTER I TURN MY CAR ON, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF EXCEPT FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT. IT CONTINUOUSLY STAYS ON WHETHER THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR IN ANY FORM OF MOTION. OCCASIONALLY, IT WILL GO OFF FOR A SECOND OR TWO WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED BUT IT ALWAYS COMES BACK ON AND REMAINS LIT.

AIRBAG LIGHT WARNING STAYING ON

JUST BOUGHT THE CAR A COUPLE WEEKS AGO FOR MY DAUGHTER. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND WOULD NOT START. TRIED JUMPING IT. CHANGED BATTERY IN KEY. GAS TANK WAS FULL. FINALLY LOOKED ON INTERNET AND FINALLY LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND A LOT OF OTHERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY SAID TO PUSH THE CAR FROM THE REAR. WE DID AND IT STARTED. AFRAID MY DAUGHTER WILL BE STUCK AT NIGHT LEAVING WORK.

1 MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR BRAKES MESSED UP THEN RODORS THEN BEARINGS. AIRBAG AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEEL LIGHT. I PUT OVER 1000 AND $200 IN THIS CAR WITHIN FOUR MONTHS

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME THAT SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE SEAT OR A PERSON. IT COMES ON AND OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING OR SITTING AT THE LIGHT. MOST OF THE TIME, IT DOES NOT COME ON WHEN I FIRST START THE VEHICLE. IT WAS REPAIRED ONCE SEVERAL YEARS AND THAT WAS $350.00. THAT STAYED ON ALL THE TIME. I THINK IT IS A MFG DEFECT.

THIS VEHICLE HAS THE SAME POWER STEERING DEFECT AS OTHER HYUNDAI VEHICLES COVERED UNDER HYUNDAI RECALLS. THE STEERING WHEEL DECOUPLES WITH THE POWER STEERING DUE TO A DISINTEGRATING RUBBER COMPONENT. LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND DEATH OF THE OCCUPANTS IS POSSIBLE. PROBLEM MANIFESTS AS A 'CLICKING' OR 'CLINKING' IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNED, WITH WORSENING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

I LIVE IN MISSOURI WHERE THEY STILL HAVE VEHICLE INSPECTIONS TO RENEW TAGS FOR LEGALLY DRIVING. GOT IN THE VEHICLE AND STARTED IT I THEN TRY TO USE THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS TO CHANGE RADIO STATION WOULD NOT WORK THEN TRIED THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE A PHONE CALL AND IT WOULDN'T WORK THEN I TRIED THE HORN AND IT WOULD NOT WORK. I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM AND WHAT I FOUND IS THAT IT'S WHATS CALLED THE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING SO THERE FOR THE AIRBAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT I HAVE RESEARCHED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE AND WITH THIS ISSUE IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION IN MY STATE

WHEN I TURNED ON MY CAR ON IN SEP. 19 2018, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TURNED AND STAYED LIT. NOW, I HAVE THE ISSUE OF MY AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY WHEN IN A ACCIDENT. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A ACCIDENT EVER, AND NOW I HAVE THIS PROBLEM THAT IT CAN BE ONE OF TWO THINGS. THE COCK SPRING NEEDS TO BE RESET OR A COMPUTER BOARD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SEAT AND REPROGRAMMED. ALSO, IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IS NOT SAFETY CONCERN TO NEITHER THE HYUNDAI MANUFACTURE OR NHTSA. IN REGARDS TO THAT, WHEN I HAD A 2008 HYUNDAI ACCENT IT HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAGS LIGHT IN THE DASHBOARD THAT TURNED ON. ALSO, WHEN TOOK MY ACCENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE COST RELATED TO THAT WAS $2,800 TO FIX THE ISSUE. I FEEL THAT IF IT HAPPENED TO MORE THEN ONE HYUNDAI CAR MODEL THE ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESS AND FIXED.

ONE DAY I NOTICED THAT MY STEERING WHEEL WAS LOOSE AND IT WAS MAKING A CLICKING NOISE. ONE ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE I WAS DRIVING, MY VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS A MINOR ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION (BECAUSE MY FLAT TIRE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR YEARS AND I NEVER KNOW WHEN I REALLY HAVE A FLAT), SO I IGNORED IT UNTIL I WENT TO USE MY HORN TO ALERT AN APPROACHING VEHICLE OF MY PRESENCE, AND IT DIDN'T WORK. IT HASN'T WORKED PROPERLY SINCE. IF I USE MY KEYS TO LOCK THE DOOR IT WILL BEEP, BUT IF I ATTEMPT TO USE THE HORN ITSELF I GET NOTHING.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT WON'T GO OFF NOW AFTER MY BATTERY DIED AND WAS RE-CHARGED. I'VE BEEN INFORM THAT THE ISSUES IS SOMETHING WITH THE CLOCK SPRING. MOST OTHER ELANTRAS FROM THIS TIME PERIOD ARE COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING WARRANTY AND I BELIEVE THE SAME EXTENDED WARRANTY SHOULD BE APPLIED TO MY TOURING. THANKS!

AFTER DRIVING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS, THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT RANDOMLY TURNED ON. THE LIGHT STAYS ON. I WENT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED, BUT THEY ARE CHARGING CLOSE TO $400. I AM WORRIED THAT MY AIR BAG SYSTEM IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

MY 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WOULD STALL AT STOP SIGNS AND LIGHTS. IT WOULD STOP AND START AGAIN.. I WENT TO HYUNDAI TO CHECK IT OUT AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND TURNING OFF THE HIGHWAY MY CAR STALLED OUT AND WHEN I TRIED TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THE BRAKES WERE HARD TO PRESS. USING ALL MY WEIGHT I GOT IT TO COME TO A STOP. IT WOULD NOT CRANK. I TRIED ABOUT THREE TIMES TO CRANK IT WHILE HOLDING DOWN THE GAS. IT EVENTUALLY ALLOWED ME TO CHANGE GEARS REALLY QUICK AND TAKE OFF. I MADE IT 5 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD TO THE HOUSE BUT IT STALLED AS I PARKED. NOW IT WON'T CRANK AT ALL. FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS I'VE BEEN TRYING TO CRANK IT. I'VE HAD THE FUEL PUMP, THE SPARK PLUGS, THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR, AND THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CHANGED AND IT STILL ISN'T CRANKING

EACH TIME I HIT THE BRAKES THEN RELEASE I HEAR A CLICKING SOUND FROM THE BRAKE PADDLE THAT MAKES ME NERVOUS THAT SOMETHING MAY BE WRONG. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I USE THE BREAKS WHEN DRIVING.

MOTOR TICKS VERY LOUD USES A QUART AND A HALF OF OIL EVERY 500 MILES IS NOT LEAKING IT OUT BUT BURNING IT OCCASIONALLY MAKES A GRINDING NOISE AND DOESN'T WANT TO START.

BATTERY DRAINING OVERNIGHT. BRAKE LIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS GOING OFF AND ON OVERNIGHT. ALL OF THIS GOES OFF WHILE STATIONARY.O

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BACK OVER PREVENTION CAMERA INTERMITTENTLY FAILED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SCREEN FAILED TO AND PROVIDE AN IMAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. THE CONTACT CALLED LARSON HYUNDAI (7601 S. TACOMA WAY, TACOMA, WA 98409, (253) 590-4527) AND THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THE FAILURE HOWEVER, INSISTED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS THEN REFERRED TO THE NHTSA FOR ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL OR WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

THE AIRBAG ON MY 2012 ELANTRA CAME ON AT 101,000 MILES. TOOK TO DEALERS, THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR WAS BAD. WANTED $1500. TO REPLACE THE SEAT.

AT ABOUT 100,000 MILES LOGGED ON THE CAR, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. IT WOULD SOMETIMES TURN OFF DURING BUMPS BUT, ULTIMATELY, IT CAME BACK ON AND STAYED ON. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE PIN AND AIRBAG WERE BAD. THEY AREN'T SURE OF THE CAUSE OR HOW IT HAPPENED BUT THE REPAIR (PARTS AND LABOR) IS WELL OVER $1000. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A RECALL RELATED TO THIS AND IT'S NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, AS FAR AS I CAN TELL. THE AIRBAG ISSUE DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY ANYTHING SPECIFIC THAT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

AFTER IT RAINS, ( IN MOTION OR STANDING STILL ) WATER COMES THROUGH THE LIGHT ABOVE SUN VISOR, SOAKS THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR FRONT AND BACK, AND GOES INTO DASH THIS IS CAUSING CORROSION TO ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THE DASH COULD CAUSE FAILURE TO DEVICES AND A FIRE HAZARD. THE TOUCHSCREEN WENT BLACK, SO I PULLED THE FUSE ONLY TO NOTICE THE FUSES HAD CORROSION. MY FEET GET SOAKED MAKING THE PEDALS SLIPPERY. I DID RESEARCH ONLINE ONLY TO REALIZE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE WATER ON THE FLOOR HAS SOAKED THROUGH THE CARPET AND PAD TO ABOUT 1/2" OF WATER AT THE HIGHEST POINT. THIS COULD CAUSE MOLD AND MILDEW TO BE CIRCULATED THROUGH THE CAR. THE CAR HAS GOTTEN CONDENSATION ON THE WINDSHIELD AFTER IT RAINS AND THE SUN COMES OUT. THE MOISTURE INSIDE THE VEHICLE IS STARTING TO CAUSE DAMAGE TO ALL ELECTRONICS.

A FEW WEEKS AGO, I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA (114,000 MILES ON IT) AND IT STARTED TO SPUTTER AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 20 MPH AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THERE HAD BEEN A SIMILAR INTERMITTENT PROBELM PRIOR TO THIS. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY DEALER AND ENDED UP WITH A REPLACED COIL PACK ON ONE CYLINDER. ON 11/4/20, I WAS RUN OFF THE INTERSTATE BY A SEMI BECAUSE AS I ENTERED THE HIGHWAY, I COULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 20, AND THEN 40 MPH AND THE TACOMETER REGISERED 0. I TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALER WHERE THEY SAID THAT THE "TECH RESET ADAPT.VALUES" ("VALVES" IS WHAT THEY TOLD ME VERBALLY). WELL I LEFT WITH THE CAR AFTER THE SUPPOSED "FIX" AND 1/2 MILE FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE SAME DE-ACLLERATION OCCURED, AND THIS TIME WHEN I WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP THE MANAGER HAD THE TECH RUN THE DIAGNOSTICS ON ORIGINAL PROBLEM ON HIS IPAD AND TECH SAID THE COIL PACK WAS FINE. THE MANAGER THEN HAD THE TECH RUN ALL SYSTEM COMPUTER CHECKS AND THE SECOND TIME AROUND, AN ERROR POINTED TO THE CRANKSHAFT SO THEY RAN ALL THE COMPUTER UPDATES, WHICH TOOK A GOOD 20 MINUTES, AND SAID THAT LIKELY FIXED THE ISSUE. I THOUGHT THE ISSUE WAS FIXED BUT TODAY, TWO DAYS LATER, I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND DROVE IT A FEW MILES AND I NOTICED AGAIN THAT THE TACOMETER WAS NOT WORKING. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I ASKED THEM WHY THEY DIDN'T RUN UPDATES WHEN THE CAR IS IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND HE SAID THEY ONLY DO SO WHEN A PROBLEM IS NOTED. THE INITIAL ISSUE ALMOST GOT ME KILLED ON THE HIGHWAY. AND ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, OTHER DRIVERS OF HYUNDAI VEHICLES ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED IF THIS SAFETY ISSUE ISN'T RESOLVED. THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AS OF TODAY, 11/6/2020 REGARDLESS OF WHAT PRIOR SVC REPORTS UPLOAD STATES.

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS I HAVE HAD A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH MY 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. ABOUT 1-3 TIMES A WEEK, MY CAR WILL NOT START. ALL LIGHTS, RADIO, ETC. WORK FINE WHEN KEY IS TURNED TO ON/START POSITION BUT CAR WILL NOT START. IT MAKES ONE CLICK SOUND AND THEN NOTHING. GENERALLY, IF I KEEP TRYING IT WILL EVENTUALLY START. SOMETIMES IT TAKES 10 MINUTES AND SOMETIMES IT TAKES A FEW HOURS. ALONG WITH THIS, ABOUT ONCE A WEEK MY CAR WILL SHIFT GEARS HARD. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC AND OTHERWISE SHIFTS FINE. I HAVE HAD ROUTINE MAINTENANCE COMPLETED ON TIME SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2016. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND HE CANNOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR DOES NOT DO THIS REGULARLY. I READ ONLINE THAT IT COULD BE THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH (RANGE INHIBITOR) SO I REPLACED THAT. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I CONTACTED THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH I PURCHASED MY CAR AND THEY HAVE NO ANSWERS.

CAR WAS PARKED AND COMPLETELY OFF. I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TURNED IT PARTWAY. ALL ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS AND HEADLIGHTS CAME ON. I TURNED THE KEY ALL THE WAY AND IT WOULD NOT START. THERE WAS A LOUD RYTHMIC CLICKING AND EACH TIME IT CLICKED ALL THE ELECTRONICS FLICKERED. JUMPING THE BATTERY DID NOT WORK.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. RECENTLY REPLACED BATTERY SO IT COULD JUST BE SOME CONNECTION OR ELECTRICAL ISSUE. DEALERS CLAIM IT'S $200 JUST TO CHECK. THIS SHOULD BE A FREE FIX EVEN IF OUT OF WARRANTY.

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. MY TIRE WAS FLAT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN A DESERT AND I TURNED THE CAR OFF TO CHANGE MY TIRE. I TRIED TO START MY VEHICLE AND ALL ACCESSORIES TURN ON AND THE CAR UNLOCKS WITH THE ELECTRIC KEY FOB BUT THE CAR DOESN'T START. INHIBITOR SWITCH IS BAD IS FAULTY. IT STARTS SOMETIMES AND DOESN'T START AT SOMETIMES. MANY PEOPLE HAVE BECOME STRANDED DUE TO THIS DEFECT AND HAVE REPORTED IT ON CAR GURU AND MANY OTHER HYUNDAI FORUMS. EVERYONE BELIEVES THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS FAULTY ISSUE.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING FAILURES FROM MY SPEED CONTROL. IT MOVES SLOW ON IT OWN REGARDLESS OF HOW HIGH THE METER SAYS. WHEN BRAKING THE CAR SHAKES AND THEN ON ITS OWN IT GOES OFF AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD COMES ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON RECENTLY AND NOW MY CAR VIBRATES/ SHAKES WHEN IDLE OR WHEN IT STARTS.

AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS ON ALL THE TIME, TURNED ON AND NEVER TURNED OFF.

AIR BAG LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME.

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THE CAR ALARM WENT OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON (THE CAR WAS SITTING IN OUR GARAGE AND NO ONE WAS ATTEMPTING TO STEAL IT). WHEN IT WENT OFF IT WAS VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING...LIKE 2 OR 3 AM. WE TRIED EVERYTHING WE KNEW TO TRY TO SHUT IT UP...FINALLY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY. WE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER WHERE WE WERE LATER TOLD THAT ONE OF THE MANY SENSORS HAD GONE BAD AND THEY WOULD ORDER A REPLACEMENT PART. THAT SEEMED TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM INITIALLY...BUT A FEW MONTHS LATER THE ALARM WENT OFF AGAIN AT 2 OR 3 AM FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WE CALLED THE DEALER AND WERE TOLD THEY HAD NO AVAILABLE APPOINTMENTS FOR TWO WEEKS. WE WAITED THE TWO WEEKS WHILE THE CAR SAT UNUSED AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE BATTERY AND THEN BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER. THIS TIME THEY HAD THE CAR FOR MOST OF A WEEK SAYING THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ALARM DISCHARGING. WE FINALLY JUST PICKED UP THE DEFECTIVE CAR...AND THAT VERY SAME DAY...AGAIN AT 2 AM, THE ALARM WENT OFF AGAIN. MY HUSBAND TRIED EVERYTHING HE WAS TOLD TO TRY TO SHUT IT UP...NOTHING WORKED. SO, HE WENT TO AGAIN DISCONNECT THE BATTERY...BUT THE DEALER HAD TIGHTENED THE CABLES TO THE BATTERY TOO TIGHTLY. AFTER SPENDING AN HOUR AND HALF A CAN OF WD40 WE WERE ABLE TO DISCONNECT ONLY THE POSITIVE CABLE TO THE BATTERY...AND THERE IT HAS SAT FOR NEARLY A MONTH...UNUSED AND DISCONNECTED. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI DIRECTLY AND THEY SEEM UNABLE MUCH ADVICE OTHER THAN 'TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER OR BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND ASK THEM TO TRY AGAIN.' WE WOULD LIKE TO JUST GET RID OF THIS CAR BUT COULD NOT SELL IT IN GOOD FAITH WITH THIS CURRENT PROBLEM...SO IT IS BOTH UNUSABLE AND NOT WORTH MUCH AS A TRADE IN.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN CAR IS STARTED AND STAYS ON WHILE TRAVELING ON THE ROAD, OCCASIONALLY WILL GO OFF IF CAR HITS BUMP ON THE ROAD, BUT WILL COME BACK ON WHEN CAR IS STARTED.

MY CAR IS RATTLING WHEN AN IDOL. IT SOUNDS CLUNKY, THAT'S THE BEST WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT. IT DOES IT AT A STOP SIGN, STOP LIGHT, IN PARK AND IN PLACE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED WHENEVER IT RAINS, WATER ENTERED INTO REAR SIDE OF CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED SHE WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHERE THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER HYUNDAI OF AUBURN LOCATED AT 823 OPELIKA RD, AUBURN, AL 36830, (334) 321-0777, WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE FRONT WINDSHIELD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

THE DASH CONSOLE CONTINUES TO GO GO OUT TO THE POINT THE ODOMETER, SPEED , MILEAGE AND OTHER INSTRUMENT PANEL INFORMATION IS NOT VISIBLE. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THEY REPLACED THE DASH CONSOLE AND 2 YRS LATER IS NEEDING REPLACEMENT AGAIN.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP A PULSATING MOTION, SIMILAR TO A WARPED BRAKE ROTOR, WAS FELT. THE STEERING FLEX COUPLER PARTIALLY DISINTEGRATED CAUSING APPROX. 1/4 TURN SLACK IN STEERING WHEEL. COUPLER WAS REPLACED ON 8/5/2020. I DID NOT SUFFER ANY DAMAGE,BUT I ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE THAT THIS DESIGN IS FAR MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE TOYOTA AIR BAG DESIGN.

SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED THIS CAR WITH ZERO MILES IT WOULD RANDOMLY CUT OFF AND IT WOULD DO THAT EVEN WHEN IN DRIVE LIKE IT WASNT GETTING GAS. IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER THEN AFTER 20-30 MIN IT WOULD START RIGHT BACK UP AND THIS STARTED RIGHT AWAY AND HAS DONE THAT EVER SINCE. I ALSO HAD THE O2 CENSOR REPLACED AS WELL. THE TIRES ARE AWFUL THE SUSPENSION IS EVEN WORSE THEN MY AIR BAG LIGHT CUT ON OUT OF NOWHERE AND NOW MY STEERING COLUMN IS TOTALLY MESSED UP. DIRECTLY BEHIND THE AIRBAG. IT CLACKS BACK N FORTH AS YOU MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL EVEN EVER SO SLIGHTLY. IF I HIT MY BRAKES THE WHEEL SHAKES AND THE COLUMN RATTLES AND CLACKS, IF I GO OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD OR RR TRACKS SAME THING, THE ENTIRE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND RATTLES AND CLANKS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THREE DIFFERENT SHOPS THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND DESIGN. THE STEERING COLUMN WAS POORLY DESIGNED AND IS GOING TO BREAK IF I DONT HAVE IT REPLACED. THE COST TO HAVE THIS DONE IS ALMOST $1000 AND IT SHOULDNT BE AN ISSUE I HAVE TO PAY FOR BC OF THE POOR DESIGN. THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING DONE TO THE CAR ON MY END TO CAUSE THIS AND I NEED HELP ASAP BC ITS MY ONLY CAR AND I DO NOT HAVE $1000 TO PAY TO FIX A BAD STEERING COLUMN THAT SHOULDNT BE BREAKING TO BEGIN WITH!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS FRIEND WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE RAN THE STOP LIGHT AND CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A TREE IN AN OPEN FIELD OF FRUIT TREES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATORS. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES, INCLUDING WHIPLASH, BRUISES AND LOWER BACK PAINS THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND WAS TOWED AWAY. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD BE INVESTIGATED IF THE CONTACT PROVIDED NECESSARY INFORMATION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 246,000. *DT *TR

INTERMITTENT AIRBAG LIGHT ON.

UPON EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND COLLECTED COMPLAINTS, I HAVE DISCOVERED A DEFECT IN THE 2012 HYUNDAI ELEANTRA AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT. IT WILL NOT PROVIDE A CODE ON ODM READER TO IDENTIFY THE SPECIFIC CAUSE OF THE AIRBAG LIGHT.

SLACK IN THE STEERING WHEEL, WITH VEHICLE RUNNING OR TURNED OFF. MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNED EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENS TO ME. THE EPS LIGHT TURNS ON, THE STEERING WHEEL GETS TIGHT. SO THE POWER STEERING DISCONNECTS FROM THE ENGINE. YOU LITERALLY CAN'T STEER. THIS LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING DOWN A GRADE AT NIGHT. IF INCOMING TRAFFIC WOULD OF BEEN COMING I WOULD HAVE CRASHED INTO THEM OR GO DOWN THE CLIFF. THE POWER STEERING WAS REPLACED ONCE BY DEALER ALREADY LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. THIS CAR IS UN SAFE AND I REFUSE TO DRIVE IT ANY MORE. I WAS ABLE TO PUSH IT IN NEUTRAL TO THE SHOULDER ONCE I PUT IT IN PARK THE CAR SHOOK AND IT SHUT DOWN.

CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. THIS HAPPENS WHILE BEING STATIONARY AS WELL AS IN MOTION. THERE IS A MINOR BIT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL AS WELL. AFTER RESEARCHING IT APPEARS TO BE THE STEERING WHEEL FLEXIBLE COUPLER. I WILL BE REPLACING IT AND GIVING FEEDBACK ON THE OUTCOME.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED ENGINE HAS A CONTINUAL LOUD TICKING NOISE SUCH AS LIFTERS NOTED APPROPRIATELY 60,000 MILES . VEHICLE IS STILL COVERED BY 10/100,000 WARRANTY YET DEALER DENIES ANY ISSUES WITH THE MOTOR. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN CALIFORNIA WITH A PENDING CLASS ACTION LITIGATION, BUT NOT HERE IN NYS

THE VEHICLE IS RATTLING IT STALLS OUT OF NO WHERE ITS VERY LOUD IN THE ENGINE. IT STALLS AT STOPS AND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE NOISE IS CONSTANT. *TR

WHEN I'M DRIVING AND I COME TO A STOP MY CAR WOULD MAKE CLANKING NOISES I TURN MY CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULD STOP. WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE I CHANGED MY OIL AND ONE NIGHT I'M DRIVING HOME AND IT MAKES THE CLANKING NOISE AGAIN ALONG WITH A BURNT SMELL I PULL OVER TURN MY CAR OFF TURN BACK ON IT STILL CLANKING AND HAS CLANKED EVER SINCE. I TOWED MY CAR HOME AND HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT AGAIN BECAUSE WHEN INSPECTING IT, WE NOTICED MY OIL LEVEL WAS PERFECT BUT TIMING CHAIN WAS EXTREMELY LOOSE AND METAL SHAVINGS IN MY OIL.

DRIVING IN A 35 MPH ZONE WHEN I DROVE OVER A SMALL POTHOLE. THE CAR MADE A LONG BANG NOISE, CAR BEGAN TO SWAY SIDE TO SIDE UNCONTROLLABLY. I LEARNED THAT MY COIL SPRINGS WERE SEVERELY DAMAGED AND HAD BENDED MY RIMS OF THE WHEELS INWARDS, AND THUS MY REAR WHEELS BECAME DEFLATED. HAD TO CHANGE THE COIL SPRINGS AND RIMS, BUT I NOTICED THAT 3-4 MONTHS LATER, THE COIL SPRINGS AND SHOCKS ARE DETERIORATING ONCE AGAIN AND CONTINUE TO HAVE THE LOUD BANG NOISES AND CAR DROPS HEAVILY AFTER GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS. ALSO, CAR IS HARD TO KEEP STEADY IN AREAS WHERE THERE IS WIND EVEN IN THE MILDEST FORMS, WHICH IS SCARY WHEN THERE IS HIGH WINDS DURING MY COMMUTE IN THE FALL AND WINTER. CAR WILL BE SWAYING SIDE TO SIDE EVEN WHEN DRIVING WAY BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT (SAY 30 IN A 50 MPH ZONE, OR 40 ON FREEWAY). *TR

SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING DEER CAR WENT DOWN AN EMBANKMENT GOING APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES PER HOUR PICKED UP SPEED GOING DOWN HIT A CATTLE FENCE A TREE ON PASSENGER SIDE ULTIMATELY SLAMMING HEAD ON INTO TWO TREES BEFORE STOPPING AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN IT SHOULD. *TR

DASH DISPLAY OF ODOMETER/MPG/ET CETERA NO LONGER IS READABLE DUE TO DIM OR MISSING DIGITS. THIS WAS REPAIRED UNDER RECALL SEVERAL YEARS AGO BUT HAS RECURRED. I NO LONGER CAN SEE NECESSARY INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAR'S EQUIPMENT OR DRIVABILITY STATUS. THIS OCCURS AT ALL TIMES, DRIVING OR STATIONARY.

BOTH FRONT SHOCKS HAVE BROKEN DURING DRIVING AND PUNCTURED THE INSIDE OF THE FRONT TIRES, CAUSING ME TO DRIVE OFF THE ROAD. THE SHOCKS DID NOT BREAK AT THE SAME TIME (FRONT PASSENGER SNAPPED FIRST AND THE FRONT DRIVER ABOUT 6000 MILES LATER.) THE FRONT PASSENGER BROKE WHEN DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND THE FRONT DRIVER BROKE WHILE STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY. THIS VEHICLE HAS UNDER 130,000 MILES, BUT HAS BEEN IN MIDWEST WINTERS FOR AT LEAST THE PAST 6 YEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA EQUIPPED WITH HANKOOK TIRES, TIRE LINE: WINTER IPIKE, TIRE SIZE: P215/45/17, DOT NUMBER: NOT PROVIDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER SON WAS DRIVING 20 MPH UP A HILL THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. THE TIRE BECAME DEFLATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT COIL SPRING FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000. *LN*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE PERSISTED FOR APPROXIMATELY TEN DAYS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, BAD CLOCK SPRING. *TR

STEERING CLICKS

FRONT COIL SPRING (DRIVERS SIDE) FAILED, RIPPING TIRING OPEN. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED SOME TIME AFTER I PARKED AT A SUPERMARKET CAUSING NO PERSONAL INJURY. I DID SEE ON-LINE THAT THE 2011 ELANTRA HAD A RECALL FOR SIMILAR PROBLEM

BRAKE LINES GET CORRODED BY THE HOLDING BRACKET SCREWS PROBABLY BECAUSE OF NOT WATER RESISTANT TYPE OF METAL AND START LEAKING.

SO MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED MAKING A STRANGE POPPING NOISE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. EVERYTIME I WOULD TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AT A CERTAIN ANGLE THE WHEEL WOULD POP. AS I DROVE THE CAR IT WOULD CONTINUE TO MAKE THIS AWFUL NOISE UNTIL ONE DAY IM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT POPPED AND THE STEERING JERKED MY CAR OUT OF THE LANE . DRIVING HOME THE WHEEL WAS RATHER STIFF AND I WORRIED CONSTANTLY ABOUT GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT . MY REASON FOR THE STEERING ISSUE IS I WORRY SOMEONE WILL BE DRIVING THE CAR AND IT JERK THEM INTO A CAR COMING FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD WHICH WILL RESULT IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. SECOND ISSUE IS THE ELECTRONICAL SYSTEM IN GENERAL. EVERYTIME I START MY CAR IT DOESNT START ALL THE WAY AND IT DIES OUT MID DRIVING ., I ENDED UP PULLING OUT OF AN UP HILL PARKING LOT AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP THE CAR AT THE STOP SIGN BECAUSE THE CAR DIED OUT AFTER I HAD IT IN DRIVE. I HAD TO PULL UP AND BUMP THE CURB IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR FROM ROLLING OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHILE LEAVING THE PARKING LOT. I AM NOT SURE IF ITS DEALING WITH THE IGNITION IN GENERAL BUT THAT WOULD DEFINATLEY BE A SAFTEY CONCERN. MY OTHER ISSUE IS THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. AFTER A CERTAIN MILAGE THE LIGHT CAME ON AND I CAN NOT GET ANY MECHANIC TO EVEN ATTEMPT TO FIX IT OVER FEAR OF AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT AND HAVING TO TOTAL THE VEHICLE UPON REPAIR. I AM SERIOUSLY TERRIFIED IF I GET INTO A VEHICLE ACCIDENT THE AIR BAGS WONT GO OFF AT ALL AND IT WILL RESULT IN EITHER A REALLY SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN BE FATAL FROM AIRBAG FAILURE .

CLICKING/THUMBING NOISE WHEN YOU TURN STEERING WHEEL EITHER WAY. WAS TOLD STEERING COUPLING ISSUE, COST APPROX. $600 TO REPAIR. IT LOOKS LIKE NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED. SHOULD BE RECALLED BY NOW, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE DEALERSHIP STATES IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE!! NUMEROUS LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT, WAS TOLD IT WAS A WIRING ISSUE! AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH ON.

THE DASHBOARD AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON.

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.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND HASN'T DISAPPEARED SINCE. I STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES. I HAVE HEAR SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER HYUNDAI CUSTOMERS AS WELL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND NO ONE WILL EVEN TOUCH MY CAR FOR THIS REASON.

ONE TPMS SENSOR FAILED DECEMBER 2018, NOW THE OTHER 3 FAILED IN THE SPAN OF THE LAST 6 WEEKS. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ITEM. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THE TIRE IS REALLY LOW WHEN DRIVING, OTHER THAN A VISUAL OR AN AIR GAUGE. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING, ON THE LAST 3, THE CODE SHOWED ON START-UP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AT START UP THE AIR BAG WARNING ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

THE STEERING COLUMN IS MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE. MAY NEED TO REPLACE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN IN CASE IT GOES OUT.

STABILITY CONTROL MALFUNCTION, I LOSE CONTROL AND THE BRAKE APPLIED UNEXPECTEDLY AND THE CRASH MY CAR I AM OK BUT I HAVE DAMAGE IN MY CAR. I WENT TO DEALER FOR THIS RECALL AND THEY DID NOT FIXED NOW I DONT KNOW IF THEY ARE GOING TO PAY FOR IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN USE, THE ESC WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V871000 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL). THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 34,700.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH THE CAR WENT OVER A SMALL BUMP AND DRIVER FELT AN ODD VIBRATING FEEL FROM THE CAR. THERE WAS A HUGE AMOUNT OF WHITE SMOKE VISIBLE IN REAR VIEW MIRROR BEHIND THE CAR. DRIVER PULLED OVER AND FOUND THE DRIVER SIDE STRUT COIL SPRING HAD BURST THRU THE STRUT MOUNT AND WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE TIRE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE. DRIVER REPLACED THE TIRE WITH THE DOUGH NUT SPARE TIRE, WHICH WAS SMALL ENOUGH TO AVOID THE EXTENDED SPRING, AND CAREFULLY DROVE HOME. DRIVER REPLACED THE STRUT HIMSELF AS CAR HAD 170K MILES AND OUT OF WARRENTY.

THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A SIGNIFICANT KNOCKING SOUND , THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 111000 MILES ON IT, AND THE REPAIR QUOTES ARE $6,500 WHICH IS ALMOST WHAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORTH.

MY 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HAS STARTED WITH LOOSE STEERING AND A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE EACH TIME THE WHEEL IS TURNED EITHER WAY. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY WARRANTY IS NOT COVERED. I HAVE READ A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM FROM OTHER OWNERS. I HAVE ALSO ASKED MULTIPLE OF MECHANICS AND THEY HAVE SAID THE SAME THING THAT HYUNDAI ELANTRAS ARE KNOW FOR STEERING WHEEL PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS $135.00 TO LOOK AT IT, I'M SURE IT'S A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED OR COVERED. THIS OCCURS WHEN IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. IF YOUR ON THE HIGHWAY GOING AT A HIGH SPEED IT FEELS UNSAFE AND YOUR PUTTING YOUR FAMILY AT RISK.

I WAS SLOWLY GOING INTO MY PARKING SPOT AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND LURCHED FORWARD. I TRIED TO BRAKE, DIDN'T SEEM TO DO ANY GOOD. IT HIT CONCRETE PROTECTING A STREET LIGHT AND WAS SMASHED UP AND STOPPED. IT WAS TERRIFYING. I THE CAR DID THIS ON IT'S OWN. I KNOW WHERE MY FEET WERE AND I WAS IN GOOD SHOES. I'M A CLASSICALLY TRAINED PROFESSIONAL BALLET DANCER AND I KNOW WHERE MY FEET ARE IN SPACE AND WHAT THEY ARE DOING. I DID NOT ACCELERATE, THE CAR DID IT ON ITS OWN LIKE THAT AMOS EPISODE IN DOCTOR WHO. IT WAS TERRIFYING, THIS CAR SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. IT HAPPENED TWO OTHER TIMES, BUT IT DID IT AND THEN STOPPED. THIS TIME IT STOPPED WHEN IT HIT THE OBJECT. THE CARS I HAD BEFORE NEVER DID THIS. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND I WAS LUCKY I WAS IN A SAFE PLACE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT PROPERLY ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THORNTON ROAD HYUNDAI (669 THORNTON RD, LITHIA SPRINGS, GA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 1420002. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REASON AND WON'T SHUT OFF. HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, NOT HAVE I HIT ANY POT HOLES. NO EXPLAINATION

THIS VEHICLE I HAVE TO THE MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES THIS YEAR AND IT FIXED THE YELLOW LIGHT GOES OFF FOR TWO MONTHS OR SO AND COMES BACK ON AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST YEAR.

STATE INSPECTION FAILED DUE TO AIRBAG LIGHT THAT CAME ON DAY OF INSPECTION 11/1

WHEN TRYING TO STEER STRAIGHT ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE STEERING IS DIFFICULT TO MOVE THE SLIGHT AMOUNT NECESSARY TO CONTINUE GOING STRAIGHT.

ON 10/28/19 I WAS DRIVING WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD TURNED ON AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT TURNED OFF AND THEN IT TURNED BACK ON. I WASN'T IN ANY CAR ACCIDENT AND I'M CURRENTLY USING MY CAR WITH THE LIGHT ON. ON A DIFFERENT OCCASION, I ALSO HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR A CLINKING NOISE WHEN STEERING AND THE DEALERSHIP SWORE TO NEVER HEAR THE NOISE NOW MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT STILLS MAKING THAT NOISE. IT WAS THE SAME NOISE IT MADE WHEN THE RIGHT AXLE IN MY CAR HAD TO BE REPLACED. AS WELL, AS CHANGING THE HARNESS ON MY REAR LIGHTS BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS KEPT BURNING OUT AND I WAS CONSTANTLY CHANGING THEM OUT.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON EVEN WHEN IN MOTION.NO INCIDENT OR ACCIDENTS HAPPEN.IT WONT TURN OFF EVEN AFTER MINUTES OF START UP.

WHILE DRIVING, MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT NOR DID I DRIVE OVER ANY BUMPS IN THE ROAD. IT GOES OFF, THEN COMES BACK ON AGAIN.

AFTER ABOUT 60,000 MILES ALL OF MY EXTERIOR LIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY GOING OUT COMPLETELY. WITHIN THE LAST SIX MONTHS I HAVE CHANGED MY BRAKE LIGHTS AT LEAST 8 TIMES. MY HEAD LIGHTS HAVE BEEN CHANGED ABOUT FOUR TIMES AND MY HIGH BEAMS BOTH WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME. ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE INNER STATE AND ALL MY BACK EXTERIOR LIGHTS WENT OUT. SOME DAYS THEY MAY WORK IF I HAVE THE LIGHTS POSITION IN THE ON POSITION INSTEAD OF AUTOMATIC DAYLIGHT POSITION AND VICE VERSA. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ROUGHLY AROUND THE END OF 2017 AND OVER TIME IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE.THIS IS VERY UNSAFE TO OPERATE A VEHICLE AND ALL YOUR LIGHTS GO OUT NOT TO MENTION ITS EXPENSIVE TO CONTINUE TO REPLACE BULBS THAT WON'T WORK BEYOND A MONTH.

NOISY STEERING.PLAY IN WHEEL . NOISES AS TURED LEFT AND RIGHT. EITHER STILL OR ON MOTION. CLICKING/CLUNKING SOUND. SAW VIDEO ABOUT STEERING COUPLING. THAT SEEMS TO BE THE SOUND ...TO MY UNTRAINED EAR.

HYUNDAI ELANTRA 2012 GLS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED OR AT STOPPED, STOPPING, LOOSING CONTROL OF YOUR CAR AT LOW SPEED NO BREAKS OR STEERING WHEEL, OR SPEEDOMETER AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON..

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AT 197,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED.

THE BACK END SWAYS SIGNIFICANTLY BACK AND FORTH WHENEVER THE CAR GOES OVER AN UNEVEN BUMP IN THE ROAD (AS LONG AS BOTH SIDES DON'T HIT AT THE EXACT SAME TIME). I'VE DONE RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE, AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF REPORTS/FORUMS ALL REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM. MANY PEOPLE ARE REPORTING COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL LEADING TO CRASHES, WHICH I DO NOT FIND HARD TO BELIEVE. IT TAKES AN EFFORT, WITH GOOD DRIVING CONDITIONS TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM SWERVING. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW EASY IT WOULD BE TO LOSE CONTROL AND GO INTO A SPIN DURING RAINY OR SNOWY CONDITIONS.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A PERSON NOT DEALER. HYUNDAI WAS MINT CONDITION. DRIVES SMOOTH. ITS KEPT UP AND ONLY SERVICED AT HYUNDAI..144,000 MILES. MY 3RD DAY HAVING THIS CAR THE ENGINE TICKS AND KNOCKS. WHEN CHECKING THE ENGINE I LITERALLY BURNED MY FINGER TOUCHING THE ENGINE IT WAS SO HOT I HAD A BLISTER THE CAR RAN FOR 1 MINUTE NOT EVEN. I RESEARCHED THIS AND THOUSANDA OD CONSUMERS HAVE HAD ENGINE AND KNOCKING ALSO THIS LEFT ME STRANDED IN FREEZING WEATHER ON A COUNTRY ROAD WITH MY BORN AND SHE GOT RSV

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY, AND WILL NOT TURN OFF NOW, EVEN WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. AFTER RESEARCHING IVE SEEN THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE BUT HAVE HEARD IT IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX. A RECALL IS NECESSARY!!!

WAS TURNING OFF A HIGHWAY INTO A MINOR ROAD AND WAS T-BONED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY ANOTHER CAR. FOLLOWING THE IMPACT MY SEAT BELT (WHICH I ALWAYS SECURE UPON ENTERING MY CAR) HAD SNAPPED OPEN AND WAS JUST HANGING LOOSE ACROSS MY SHOULDER. THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT FORCED THE SNAPPING DEVICE OPEN. THE RESULT WAS MORE FORCE PLACED ON MY WRIST ON THE STEERING AND A SPRAINED WRIST AMONG OTHER...

MY 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HAS STARTED WITH LOOSE STEERING AND A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE EACH TIME THE WHEEL IS TURNED EITHER WAY. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY WARRANTY IS NOT COVERED (64,000 MILES). I HAVE READ A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM FROM OTHER OWNERS. THEY WANT $135.00 TO LOOK AT IT, I'M SURE IT'S A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED OR COVERED. THIS OCCURS WHEN IN MOTION AND STATIONARY.

WAS DRIVING CAR MADE A BANG NOISE, PULLED OVER FOUND COIL SPRING BROKE ON FRONT DRIVERS SIDE. HAD TO CALL TOLL TRUCK. CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. THANK GOD I WASN'T ON HIGHWAY GOING 55 MPH. COULD HAVE BEEN A BAD ACCIDENT AND PEOPLE COULD HAVE GOT HURT . THERE WAS NO WARNING !

WHILE SITTING AT LIGHT THE CAR BEGINS TO JERK LIKE IT WANTS TO CUT OFF.YES THIS HAPPENS AT STOP SIGNS IN THE COUNTRY AND CITY STREETS IN TOWN.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND HAS NOT TURNED BACK OFF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT WAS ALERTED BY A BYSTANDER THAT THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. CAPITOL HYUNDAI (1050 CAPITOL EXPRESSWAY AUTO MALL, SAN JOSE, CA 95136, (669) 253-6081) WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR TO FIVE TIMES WITHIN A YEAR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

WHILE TRAVELING ON A CITY STREET AT ABOUT 20 MPH, I HIT A POTHOLE WITH MY 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA AND THE CAR CAME TO A STOP, AFTERWARD THE TIRE BURST. NOISE WAS A LOUD RUBBING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL. A DEFECTIVE STRUT COIL/SPRING RIPPED AND CUT THROUGH THE INNER SIDE WALL OF THE TIRE. AAA TOWED MY CAR TO ONE OF THEIR REPAIR SHOPS. TOTAL COST OF NEW STRUTS AND TIRE WAS $895.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND ONLY ACCELERATED TO 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE ALSO STALLED WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE MECHANIC CLEANED ALL THE SENSORS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 15986313. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 157,607.

GRINDING NOISE WHEN APPLYING BRAKES IN 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA AFTER JUST 22000 MILES. MECHANIC SMOOTED ROTORS BUT SAID THE CALIPERS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS LATER AND IN CHECKING ONLINE FOUND LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. MOST OF US ARE CONCERNED THAT THE BRAKES CAN'T POSSIBLY BE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IN PARTICULAR I TRY TO LEAVE A GREAT DISTANCE JUST IN CASE A SUDDEN STOP IS NEEDED AND THE BRAKES DON'T WORK LIKE THEY SHOULD. EVERY PERSON ON THE FORUM IS GETTING THE SAME LINE FROM THE HYUNDAI DEALERS, IT'S YOUR ROTORS AND PADS, NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY, WE ARE REPLACING OUR ROTORS AND PADS ONLY TO HAVE THEM RUINED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS. MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC (NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE HYUNDAI DEALER) INSISTS THAT THE CALIPERS ARE THE PROBLEM, THEY ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND ARE RUINING THE ROTORS AND PADS. THE CALIPERS JUST HAPPEN TO COST $700 FOR THE PART ALONE, AND I'M SURE LABOR WOULD BE STEEP. IN ADDITION, IF IT WAS THE CALIPERS, THOSE WOULD BE COVERED BY OUR WARRANTIES. IT REALLY APPEARS THAT HYUNDAI HAS BAD BRAKE CALIPERS ON IT 2012 AND 2013 ELANTRAS AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND PERHAPS ARE HOPING TO PUT US ALL OFF UNTIL THE CALIPERS ARE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. MY CONCERN IS THERE ARE A LOT OF US OUT THERE DRIVING AROUND LIKE THIS AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AN URGENT STOP IS NEEDED AND THE BRAKES DON'T FUNCTION PROPERLY. THIS COULD HAVE VERY DIRE CONSEQUENCES. *JS

GOING OVER A STANDARD LOW GRADE SPEED BUMP. MY DRIVER SIDE COIL SPRING SNAPPED. THIS WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. SHOULD THEY HAVE DONE THE PASSENGER SIDE PREVENTIVELY?

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SPONTANEOUSLY AT ABOUT 104,000 MILES.

WITH THE ENGINE STARTED AND IN PARK YOU CAN TURN THE STEERING WHEEL RIGHT OR LEFT AND IT HAS A THUMPING NOISE. IT SEEMS LIKE IT DOESN'T AFFECT THE STEERING BUT THIS IS THE CAR MY WIFE DRIVES AND IT MAKES HER VERY NERVOUS. IT MAKES YOU VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS GOING TO LOCK UP AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON DID MY RESEARCH AND IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL

MY 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA STARTED MAKING A TICKING/ KNOCKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT WAS A MISSED STEP WHEN BUILDING THE ENGINE. THE NOISE IS CALLED PISTON SLAP. IT'S HAPPENING TO A LOT OF HYUNDAI'S FROM 2011-2016 ELANTRA AND SONATAS. HYUNDAI DIDN'T DO A RECALL BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO FOOT THE COST OF REPLACING THE ENGINES. I TOOK MY CAR TO HYUNDAI OF SOUTH BRUNSWICK NJ ON 7/3/19 NO ONE CALLED ME UNTIL 7/9/19 I CALLED EVERYDAY 3-4 TIMES A DAY AND KEPT BEING TRANSFERED TO LEAVE VOICE MAILS, I LEFT MESSAGES AND NO ONE CALLED ME BACK. ON 7/9/19 I WAS CALLED AND TOLD IT WOULD COST ME 6,766.00 TO REPLACE MY ENGINE. I BELIEVE HYUNDAI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ENGINE WHEN THEY'RE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAVE NOT DONE A RECALL. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED JUST STARTING THE CAR ONE MORNING AND THE NOISE GOT LOUDER EACH DAY.

2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA COLLISION TO DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. DRIVERS SIDE AND DRIVERS AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD FOUR INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS REPLACED DUE TO THE DISPLAY PANEL FADING IN THE HOT WEATHER. THE PROBLEM IS HAPPENING AGAIN AND IT WOULD APPEAR THAT I NOW NEED A 5TH INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. SURELY, THERE MUST BE SOME THING THAT HYUNDAI CAN DO TO FIX THIS ONGOING ISSUE. THE ODOMETER, MILEAGE RANGE AND GEAR POSITION DISPLAY ARE AFFECTED.

TAKATA RECALL. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER IN 2016 AROUND THE TIME A RECAL FOR IT WENT OUT AND I DIDN'T KNOW UNTIL TODAY. MY CAR SOMETIMES TAKES TWO TIMES TO ACTUALLY START. I TURN KEY AND HAVE TO EITHER HOLD IT OR STOP AND DO IT AGAIN. MY CAR HYDROPLANES EXTREMELY EASILY COMPARED TO OTHER VEHICLES. NORMALLY IT IS ONLY A SECOND BESIDES THE TIME I REAR ENDED SOMEONE WITH NO BAD WEATHER THEN ANOTHER WHILE IT WAS RAINING AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL AND THANK GOD NO ONE WAS AROUND ME AND I AM USED TO THE VEHICLE SO I COULD GAIN CONTROL AGAIN TRULY A MIRACLE. OTHER SMALLER ISSUES I IGNORE.

UNABLE TO READ THE PART OF THE DASH THAT TELLS MILAGE DURING THE DAY. ONLY ABLE TO READ IT AT NIGHT. THEREFORE, WHEN I HAD MY OIL CHANGED TODAY, THE MECHANIC HAD TO ASK ME IF I KNEW THE MILEAGE SINCE HE WAS UNABLE TO READ IT. I TOLD HIM APPROX WHAT I HAD LAST NOTICED IT LAST NIGHT. THIS IS A PROBLEM WHEN GOING ON TRIPS AND MY NAVIGATION SYSTEM SAYS TO STAY ON A CERTAIN HWY FOR 16 MILES, FOR EXAMPLE, AND I AM UNABLE TO READ THE DISPLAY. IT ALSO MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CHECK MY MILAGE WHEN I FILL UP WITH GAS DURING THE DAY.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS TURNING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY, MOST OF THE TIME IT IS ON.

PARKING BRAKE WARNING LIGHT INDICATOR ON THE DASH BOARD DISPLAY: THE PARKING BRAKE WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT ALWAYS DISPLAY WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE IS ENGAGED. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND OFTEN CAUSES A PROBLEM WITH DRIVING. WHEN THE LIGHT DOES NOT DISPLAY WHILE THE PARKING BRAKE IS INDEED "ON" THE DRIVER IS NOT ALERTED BY THE WARNING LIGHT AND EXPECTS TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVE OR REVERSE POSITION. THE CAUSES A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEREBY PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR DOES NOT MOVE THE CAR AS INTENDED. IT WILL NOT MOVE FROM A STOPPED POSITION, MOVES VERY SLOWLY OR LURCHES.

SSRS LIGHT CAME ON AND WON'T TURN OFF. IN MOTION ON THE CITY STREET

DASHBOARD AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE DUE TO UNKNOWN REASON. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND FILED A REPORT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN MOVED AND CONTINUED TO BE PARKED AT CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT CALLED TO THE LOCAL DEALER HYUNDAI DE HORMIGUEROS LOCATED AT CARR #2 KM 165.7 BO. LAVADERO, HORMIGUEROS, 00660, PUERTO RICO, 1 787-849-6000 AND HAD BEEN MADE AWARE OF FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AS OF YET. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

THE DRIVER WINDOW DROPPED TO THE DOOR WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WENT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER WHO CHARGED ME OVER &400 AND STATED THAT THIS ISSUE IS VERY COMMON FOR ELANTRA. I HAVE ELANTRA TOURING AND MY CAR IS NO QUALIFIED FOR RECALL.

I AM THE 2ND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE STARTED THE INFAMOUS 'TICKING OR KNOCKING' SOUND IN JANUARY THIS YEAR WHEN IT WAS VERY COLD. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WOULD GO AWAY AFTER THE ENGINE WARMS UP BUT IT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE WITH TIME. THE TICKING SOUND BECAME VERY LOUD AND ANNOYING. I TOOK IT TO COUPLE OF RELIABLE MECHANICS TO TAKE A LOOK AND GET AN IDEA OF WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE ENGINE. THEY BOTH TOLD ME SEPARATELY THAT ONE OF THE PISTONS IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND IN ORDER TO FIX THIS ISSUE I HAVE TO HAVE MY ENGINE REPLACED.I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS IS A 'KNOWN ISSUE' WITH ELANTRAS 2012-16. ANYWAYS I TOOK IT TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP HERE IN CHANTILLY, VIRGINIA. THEY LOOKED AT IT AND FINALLY TOLD ME THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT WILL COST ME $8000 TO PUT A NEW ENGINE AND ABOUT $4000 OR SO TO REPLACE WITH USED ENGINE. THIS IS SHOCKING GIVEN THAT HYUNDAI IS WELL AWARE OF THE FAULTY ENGINE DESIGN AND LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TICKING PROBLEM YET THERE IS NO RECALL !!!

CAR IS JERKING WHILE DRIVING. ESC LIGHT COMES ON. HESITATES, LOW POWER.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GLS . I AM TOLD THAT WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON IT MEANS THAT THE AIRBAGS DON'T WORK WHICH COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN A CRASH. *DT*JB

STEERING IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING LOUD THUD AND CLICKING NOISES. I UNDERSTAND THE RUBBER COUPLING MAY BE TO BLAME AND HYUNDAI REFUSES TO PAY FOR COST OF REPAIR. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT'S PLACING PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER. I DRIVE WITH MY 1-YEAR-OLD SON IN THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT'S APPALLING THAT HYUNDAI HAS NOT RECALLED THIS PROBLEM WITH THE IMMENSE AMOUNT OF DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS.

I'VE HAD MY CAR FOR 4 YEARS. AND THE LAST THREE YEARS IT STARTED HAVING ISSUES. HARD SHIFTING AND SHAKING AT RANDOM TIMES ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP COUNTLESS TIMES AND ONLY RECENTLY WAS GIVEN A DIAGNOSED WITH A TRANSMISSION SENSOR READING TOO HOT. BEFORE THAT EVERY MECHANIC SAID THEY COULDN'T SEE ANY ISSUE . I FIND IT ALARMING THOUGH BECAUSE WE DON'T REALLY KNOW IF IT'S THE SENSOR OR ACTUALLY THE TRANSMISSION AND IT'S FRUSTRATING THAT NOBODY SEEMS TO HAVE HAD ANY ANSWERS FOR THE LAST SO MANY YEARS. IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S A VERY COMMON ISSUE. AND SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BE PINPOINTED AND RESOLVED MUCH SOONER. A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN IT WOULD SHIFT ABRUPTLY IT WAS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD ON THE ROAD. CURRENTLY IT'S NOT LUNGING AS DRAMATICALLY. HOWEVER IT'S STILL DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. I HAVE KEPT UP ON ALL THE MAINTENANCE RELIGIOUSLY INCLUDING FLUSHING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND REPLACING IT AS DIRECTED. I DEFINITELY THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE EVERYONE I KNOW THAT HAS A HYUNDAI ELANTRA HAS HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. AND IT DEFINITELY COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS ESPECIALLY FOR INEXPERIENCED DRIVERS.

AS I BACKED OUT OF A PARKING PLACE AND ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE CAR IN REVERSE TO CHECK THE AREA BEHIND ME, THE CAR STALLED OUT COMPLETELY, THE ENGINE STOPPED AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT RESPOND AND SEEMED STUCK. I PUT THE CAR BACK IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF, THEN FINALLY ON THE THIRD TRY, THE ENGINE ENGAGED AND I HAD CONTROL OF THE CAR, MOVED BACK INTO THE PARKING PLACE AND THEN MANAGED TO BACK OUT NORMALLY AND PROCEED.

IN THE LEFT REAR SUSPENSION, THE TRAILING ARM BROKE OFF WHERE THE ANTI-ROLL BAR IS MOUNTED, TO WHERE THE ANTI-ROLL BAR IS NO LONGER CONNECTED TO THE SUSPENSION. THE CLUNKING NOISE THAT RESULTED FROM THIS WAS FIRST NOTICED IN EARLY MARCH 2019, AND OCCURS WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE DATE OF OCCURRENCE OF 3/1/19 IS APPROXIMATE.

THIS CAR WAS IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT IN MOTION ON A HIWAY AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE A 2012 ELANTRA 120,000 MILES CAR HAS STALLED DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ALSO HAS STARTED A TICKING IN THE ENGINE I TOOK IT TO HAVE A OIL CHANGE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS METAL IN THE OIL PAN AND I NEEDED A NEW MOTOR. HYUNDAI WHO ADVISED THE SONATA HAD A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT NOT THE ELANTRA

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REASON.CAR WAS DRIVEN TO STORE AND TURNED OFF.WHEN RESTARTED THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON.

I HAVE 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GLS WITH 1.8 L DOHC ENGINE. WHEN COLD STARTED, THE ENGINE PRODUCES TICKING/KNOCKING NOISE WHICH QUIETS DOWN AFTER RUNNING FOR 15 MINUTES. BUT, I OBSERVED THAT IT IS GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER AND THE NOISE IS ALSO NOT GETTING REDUCED AS IT USED TO BE. I WENT TO NORTHTOWN HYUNDAI AND THEY FOUND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL PAN. HYUNDAI REFUSED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE FOR FREE EVEN THOUGH THEY VERY WELL KNOW THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT DUE TO BAD PISTON COATING. THE ENGINE POWER HAS HIGHLY REDUCED AND I AM AFRAID THAT IT MIGHT BLOW IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE ATTACHED THE HYUNDAI CANADA BULLETIN WHERE THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. BUT, HYUNDAI USA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING WITH THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH FULL FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTHTOWNE HYUNDAI RIVERDALE (7665 GA-85, RIVERDALE, GA 30274), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

AFTER 110,000 MILES, ENGINE STARTED HESITATING, NOT RUNNING SMOOTH, ANYMORE. BROUGHT TO VALLEY STREAM, NY DEALER ON 1/8 AND THEY CLAIMED NO TROUBLE FOUND, SENT ME AWAY AND 2 MOS. LATER, THE ENGINE DIED. THEY "CONFISCATED" MY VEHICLE FOR SAFETY CONCERNS, BUT NEVER SAID WHAT, SPECIFICALLY.

TICKING NOISE AT 78000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. A FEW MINUTES AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AFTER A TRIP, THE SOUND OF A HORN WAS HEARD FROM THE VEHICLE. SOMEONE LOOKED OUTSIDE AND SAW THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE ON FIRE. THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY A FAMILY MEMBER. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. NEITHER A FIRE NOR A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DECLARED TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CONTACT SENT AN EMAIL TO VANDERGRIFF HYUNDAI (817-912-5122, LOCATED AT 1120 W INTERSTATE 20, ARLINGTON, TX 76017), BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V310000 (STRUCTURE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

MY ISSUE IS WITH AUTOMAKER HYUNDAI AND A KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE ENGINES OF SOME 2011-2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA CARS. I OWN ONE OF THESE CARS. IT IS FOR MY DAUGHTER, 17, WHO PAID THE MAJORITY OF THE $7000 WITH HER OWN MONEY TO BUY THE CAR. SHE HAS PUT AROUND 6-7 THOUSAND MILES ON IT SINCE SHE BOUGHT IT AND DESPITE HAVING THE CAR LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC PRIOR TO PURCHASE, THE ENGINE HAS DEVELOPED A TICKING/KNOCKING NOTICE. AFTER TAKING IT TO A LOCAL DEALER IN MILWAUKEE, AMAMTO HYUNDAI, THEY HAVE SAID THE ISSUE IS A BAD ROD BEARING AND THE ENGINE WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE COST IS IN EXCESS OF $4000 - MORE THAN HALF IF WHAT SHE PAID FOR THE CAR. I HAVE DONE SOME EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THE WEB OVER THE LAST 10-14 DAYS AND HAVE FOUND THIS PROBLEM IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE ENGINES, BUT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED BY HYUNDAI FOR THE ELANTRA. IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT THEY HAVE RECENTLY ISSUED RECALLS FOR OTHER MODELS FOR VERY SIMILAR DEFECTS IN THE ENGINE, DONE IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS, THAT CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL AND OR CATCH FIRE IN THE HYUNDAI SONATA AND THE KIA SOUL. I HAVE GONE TO HYUNDAI WARRANTY DIRECT AND HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT, BUT I WAS DENIED AS WE ARE THE SECOND OWNER AND BEYOND THE 60,000-MILE WARRANTY. HYUNDAI DOES OFFER A 100,000 MILE ON SOME CARS AND IN SOME CASES HAVE REPLACED THE ENGINE. BUT, IN THE RESEARCH THAT I HAVE, HYUNDAI TRIES TO 'DODGE AND DENY' AT ALL COST. I HAVE EVEN FOUND A LINK TO A PENDING CLASS-ACTION SUIT FOR MY VERY ISSUE. I HAVE PROOF AND DOCUMENTATION TO SHOW YOU THAT BACKS UP WHAT I HAVE FOUND. I ALSO HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED BY HYUNDAI IN MARCH OF 2014 (#14-20-002) THAT CLEARLY STATES THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO KNOCK AND THE REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE.

INTERMITTENTLY ENGINE WON'T TURN OVER. IT WILL SOMETIMES GO A WEEK OR SO TURNING OVER NORMALLY, & THEN WITHOUT WARNING, IT WON'T START FOR 10-60 MIN OR LONGER ACCORDING TO 1000S OF DRIVERS. LAST NIGHT, I WAS STRANDED FOR 50 MIN IN A PARKING LOT AT NIGHT TRYING TO GET MY CAR TO TURN OVER. DASH LIGHTS UP, FUEL PUMP GOES ON, BUT THERE IS NO CRANK. I FILMED IT HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/NBZ957TB72U IT'S CALLED "HYUNDAI ELANTRA WONT START-AGAIN. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE..RIGHT." BUT THERE ARE 1000S OF OTHER COMPLAINTS IN THAT SEARCH. SOME FORUMS SAY IT'S A INHIBITOR SWITCH. THE DEALERSHIP DENYIES SUCH REPORTS ON HYUNDAI'S MANUFACTURER, ALTHOUGH MANY DRIVERS SAY ON THESE FORUMS THAT THEY HAD TO HAVE THEIR ELANTRAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE THEY WERE TOLD THERE IS NO PROBLEM. HELPPPP ME !!! IT RANDOMLY TURNED OVER 50 MINUTES LATER. THAT CANNOT HAPPEN! I COULD BE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. ANY OF THESE DRIVERS COULD BE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. LOOK AT THE COMMENTS ON ANY YOUTUBE VIDEO AFTER TYPING IN ELANTRA WON'T START. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE STRANDED FROM THIS ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION HYUNDAI REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. PLEASE READ MY DETAILS I TYPED ON MY VIDEO. BATTERY IS GOOD. I HAD MY SON WITH ME AT THE LYNNWOOD ONE EN ROUTE TO HIS DOCTOR APPOINTMENT AFTER IT WOULDN'T START FOR 10 MIN IN THE DRIVEWAY LAST MONTH. EVERETT I HAD AN APPOINTMENT SO THAT WILL BE ON RECORD. THEY DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT IT BECAUSE IT STARTED WHEN THEY TURNED THE KEY AND THEIR ONLINE MANUFACTURERS SITE REPORTED NO PROBLEMS AND THEY REFUSED TO DO A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH WHEN I ASKED. THERE'S NO WAY THE MANUFACTURER HASN'T HEARD OF THIS. THE EXAMPLES ARE OVERWHELMING. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT, IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY. MAJOR HAZARD TO PUBLIC SAFETY. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND RECALL THIS! PLEASE HELP ME. IT'S LIKE FORD DENYING TRANNY PROBLEMS IN THEIR'12 FOCUSES.

AT 56,000 MILES OR THERE ABOUTS MY ENGINE STARTED TO TICK, HAS HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND OIL CHANGES SINCE PURCHASED AS A USED VEHICLE IN 2014 WITH 17,000 MILES. THE MECHANICS STATE THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ELANTRA. I AM COVERED UNDER MY 100,000 MILE WARRANTY, YET HYUNDAI REFUSES TO FIX THE ENGINE BLAMING IT ON POOR MAINTENANCE. I BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE PUTTING MY TRUST IN THE COMPANY AND NOW MAY END UP PAYING FOR A CAR I CANNOT USE OR MAY KILL ME. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING.

TAKATA RECALL FOR MY HYUNDAI ELANTRA 2012. FOUND THE RECALL ON CREDIT KARMA. BRAKES

I PURCHASED THE CAR USED, WHEN IT HAD 35,000 MILES ON IT. AROUND 38,000 MILES, I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE AN ENGINE TICKING NOISE AND VIBRATION BEFORE COMING TO A STOP OR WHEN STARTING UP AFTER A STOP. IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR WILL STALL, BUT IT NEVER ACTUALLY STALLS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND THE HEAD MECHANIC AT A HYUNDAI DEALER. THE HYUNDAI MECHANIC SAID THE ISSUE IS "COMMON" WITH HYUNDAI ELANTRAS. HE LISTED OFF VARIOUS FIXES HE HAS TRIED, BUT SAID HE CAN'T FIGURE OUT A COMMON CAUSE. WHEN I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE, IT APPEARS THAT MANY OTHER HYUNDAI ELANTRA OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM (E.G. CARCOMPLAINTS.COM). IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE MANY HYUNDAI ELANTRA OWNERS WAITING ON ENGINE REPLACEMENTS, WITH HYUNDAI OFTEN NOT WANTING TO PAY FOR THE ENGINE. I WONDER IF A RECALL IS NEEDED.

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN DRIVING UP TO 40 MPH MY STEERING WHEEL STARTS MAKING SOME FUNNY NOISE AND IT SHAKES REALLY BAD AT THE SAME TIME.

" TAKATA RECALL" - I GOT IN MY CAR, STARTED IT UP AND THE ONLY LIGHT THAT WOULD NOT GO OFF LIKE IT SHOULD WHEN YOU START UP THE CAR WAS THE "AIRBAG" LIGHT. SO I TURNED OFF THE CAR, AND FIGURED MAYBE ITS A FLUKE AND STARTED MY CAR UP AGAIN AND IT STAYED ON. MY LIGHT FOR MY AIRBAG CAME ON FOR NO REASON. I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING AND DIDN'T RUN OVER A POTHOLE. I FIND IT REALLY ODD THAT THE LIGHT JUST CAME ON OUT OF THE BLUE. THE CAR DIDN'T EVEN HAVE 94,000 MILES ON IT YET. I'M ALWAYS TELLING PEOPLE HOW GOOD MY CAR IS AND HOW IT HAS AIRBAGS FOR DRIVER, PASSENGER AND SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS. SOMEONE SHOULD REALLY CHECK THIS OUT. BEFORE THIS CAR, I OWNED A SUBARU AND EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A 2002, NOT ONCE DID MY AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON AND STAY ON. THE YELLOW LIGHT YOU SEE ON THE PICTURE CAME OFF WITH THE LAST RECALL ON MY CAR REGARDING THE ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM. I TOOK IT INTO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY HANDLED THE RECALL, AFTER THAT THE LIGHT CAME OFF AND HAS STAYED OFF. BUT THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYED ON.....

I HAVE A 2012 ELANTRA, I AM 2ND OWNER OF THE CAR, IT JUST TURNED 67,000 MILES AND BEGAN MAKING A LOUD TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE, I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO DID AN OIL CHANGE AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE PIECES OF METAL IN THE OIL PAN AND SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. UPON INSPECTION AT DEALERSHIP THEY STATED I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THE CAR IS NO LONGER IN WARRANTY SO THEY DEALER SENT THE INFORMATION INTO HYUNDAI CORPORATE, OUTCOME IS NO FREE ENGINE I HAVE TO PAY 3,000 OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE A NEW ENGINE INSTALLED. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ONLINE I AM NOT ALONE IN MY PAIN! SHAME ON HYUNDAI YOUR CAR SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE LEAST WANTED LIST! I WOULDN'T PURCHASE ANOTHER HYUNDAI IF IT COST ONE CENT! HYUNDAI IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUES WITH THE ENGINES AND YET FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE RIGHT THING TO DO FOR ITS CUSTOMERS. BEWARE DO NO PURCHASE A HYUNDAI ANYTHING! I WOULD NOT TRUST ANY OF IT'S VEHICLES THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANY ONE THAT OWNS ONE - DO YOU HOMEWORK CHECK OUT THE FACTS. FORTUNATELY FOR ME I DIDN'T ENCOUNTER A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. I AM NOW THE OWNER OF A VERY EXPENSIVE CAR THAT IS WORTH ABOUT THE COST OF THE ENGINE!

AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON FOR NO REASON.

VEHICLE FRONT COIL SPRINGS FAILED WHILE GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP AT LOW SPEED OF LESS THAN 10 MPH. COIL SPRINGS FRACTURED AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOS ATTACHED TO THIS WRITING. COIL SPRING FAILURE FOLLOWS A SIMILAR PATTERN TO THE COIL SPRINGS IN THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA 2011, WHICH WAS RECALLED OVER THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS FAULTY PRODUCT HAS MADE ITS WAY INTO THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA 2012 SUPPLY CHAIN. HERE IS A LINK TO A WEBSITE LISTING OTHER HYUNDAI 2012 OWNERS HAVING THE SAME FRONT COIL SPRING ISSUE. HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/HYUNDAI/ELANTRA/FRONT-SUSPENSION-COIL-SPRING-PROBLEMS.PHP IF THIS FAILURE WERE TO OCCUR AT SPEED, PARTIAL LOSS OF CONTROL WOULD HAPPEN. IT IS CONCEIVABLE THAT DEADLY, TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL COULD OCCUR AT SPEED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THERE WAS A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORTHTOWN HYUNDAI (3675 SHERIDAN DR, AMHERST, NY 14226, (716) 992-6536) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 15444915. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL INTERMITTENTLY TURN ON AND OFF. THE LIGHT WILL SOMETIMES NOT TURN ON EXCEPT DURING IGNITION AND SOMETIMES WILL BE LT CONTINUOSLY WITH OR WITHOUT A PASSENGER. THIS ALSO OCCURS AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS, ON SURFACE STREETS AND HIGHWAYS, IN ANY GEAR.

THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED MAKING NOISES WHEN TURNING AND HAS GRADUALLY GOTTEN TOUGHER TO TURN AS IF THE POWER STEERING HAS FAILED.

THE SUNROOF DOOR IS NOT WORKING GOOD

AIRBAG DASH LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY.

THE DASHBOARD SRS AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WENT ON YESTERDAY AND REMAINED ON AS LONG AS MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, THE WARNING LIGHT DID NOT TURN ON AGAIN. THE DEALER'S SERVICE TECHNICIAN THINKS IT IS PROBABLY THE CLOCK SPRING BECAUSE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. HE SAID TO BRING IT IN RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THE WARNING LIGHT IS ON. HE LOOKED UP MY VIN AND SAID MY VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE 15 YEAR, UNLIMITED MILEAGE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE CLOCK SPRING WHICH HYUNDAI ISSUED FOR SOME VEHICLES. HE QUOTED $140 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.

STABILIZER WARNING LIGHT IS ON. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THEY FOUND THAT THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR HAS SHORTED OUT.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND WON'T TURN OFF

MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 100K MILES ON IT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT WITHOUT ANY ISSUES AND GETTING ROUTINE CHECKUPS AND OIL CHANGES. I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD (ALMOST ON THE HIGHWAY) AND DURING MY DRIVE MY ENGINE BLEW OUT AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STOPPED. DUE TO BEING A SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE, I AM NOT COVERED UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY UNDER 100K MILES. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, IT SEEM THAT BOTH HYUNDAI AND KIA HAVE ENGINE ISSUES; HOWEVER, ONLY CERTAIN MAKES/MODELS ARE COVERED WHEN ELANTRAS ALSO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES.

BEEN TAKING TO DEALERSHIP FOR THIS A FEW TIMES WAS TOLD NO PROBLEM. TOOK CAR TO SEARS THEY INFORMED ME OF A 'RECALL' FOR THIS ISSUE. IT'S IN FACT NOT A RECALL JUST SOMETHING HYUNDAI ADDED TO THE WARRANTY. I HAD TO HAVE SEARS TELL ME SO I CAN TELL THE DEALERSHIP. MY CAR IS AT 99,000 MILES AND I BELIEVE DEALERSHIP WAS WAITING FOR 100K TO TELL ME THE PROBLEM SO THEY COULD CHARGE ME. DESCRIPTION BELOW: THE MDPS (MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS A FLEXIBLE RUBBER COUPLING WHICH MAY WEAR OVER TIME RESULTING IN A SLIGHT "CLICKING" OR "THUD" TYPE NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. WEAR OF THE COUPLING DOES NOT AFFECT THE ABILITY TO STEER OR CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER REFUSES TO LOOK INTO IT, UNLESS I PAY FEE FOR ASSESSMENT. I SEE LOT OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING 2012 ELANTRA HAVING SAME PROBLEM. SOME OF THEM HAVE OFFICIAL RECALLS, BUT MY VIN DOESN'T SHOW ANY RECALL, SO DEALER IS NOT LOOKING INTO IT WITHOUT ME PAYING FOR IT.

ALL I DID WAS HIT A SPEED BUMP AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF PROBLEMS REPORTING THE SAME.

THE STREING WHEEL MAKING NOISE. SOUNDS LIKE IT IS GOING TO FALL OFF. IT SOUND LIKE THIS WHEN DRIVING.

VEHICLE HAS HAD ENGINE TICKING NOISES STARTING AROUND 50,000 MILES. ON 3 OCCASIONS THE DEALER ADVISED IT WAS A NON ISSUE. OTHER VEHICLES FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER AND WITH THE SAME ENGINE HAVE HAD RECALLS DUE TO AN ENGINE MANUFACTURING PROCESS DEFECT. ENGINE NOISE HAS PROGRESSED FROM A SLIGHT TICKING TO A HARD KNOCKING SOUND AND DIFFICULTY IDLING UPON INITIAL START UP WITH NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON CONTINUOUSLY BUT IS NOT DUE TO CLOCK SPRING ISSUES AS COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY SORT OF ACCIDENT AND AN AIRBAG SYSTEM THAT DOES NOT WORK IS NOT A PART OF NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS EXPLICITLY HYUNDAI'S RESPONSIBILITY.

SUNROOF EXPLODED 5AM IN THE MORNING ON HIGHWAY 405 TRAVELING TO REDMOND WA., I WAS NOT NEAR ANY UNDERPASSES, OR BRIDGES. THE WINDOW SOUND MADE A LOUD BOMB NOISE AND THEM I HEARD GLASS BREAKING. IT WAS GOING TO RAIN THE REST OF THE DAY SO I TOOK BLACK DUCT TAPE AND TAPED THE GLASS SO THAT THE INTEGRITY OF THE GLASS WOULD HOLD AND NOT CONTINUE TO SHATTER AND IT WOULD NOT DESTROY MY HEAD LINER.

WHILE DRIVING MY HYUNDAI ELANTRA IT MAKES A HARD SHIFT AT TIMES SLIGHTLY A BIT HESITANT WHICH COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO BE REAR ENDED .BEEN TO 2 MECHANICS ALREADY ONE BEING THE DEALER THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE MADE A DISTINCT TAPPING NOISE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, AND WAS PERSISTENT FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS. JONES JUNCTION HYUNDAI (1504 BELAIR RD, BEL AIR, MD 21014) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE ANY DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES TO HELP IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 97,500.

TAKATA RECALL. THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFE ISSUE. IT HAVE TO BE RECALL TO FIX.

TAKATA RECALL: MY CAR WILL REV THE ENGINE REALLY HIGH OVER AND OVER AGAIN ON ITS OWN RATHER THAN IDLE WHILE IN PARK. ALSO WHILE IN DRIVE AND THE BREAK PRESSED, THE ENGINE WILL REV ON ITS OWN LIKES ITS TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT ME PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS DANGEROUS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASSIONS NOT JUST WHAT IS NOTED BELOW.

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO RESET OR GET THE AIRBAG SENSOR TO TURN OFF. IT CAME ON FOR NO REASON, I WAS NOT IN A ACCIDENT. IT IS FAULTY. THE DEALER GAVE ME A REPAIR QUOTE THAT WAS RIDICULOUS - OVER $3000. LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM (SEE ONLINE), THIS SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS. THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE I THOUGHT I WOULD SEND A MESSAGE.

MY CAR HIGHLIGHTS HAS WENT OUT SEVERAL TIMES AND I HAVE REPLACED THE LIGHTS AND THEY STILL GOES OUT . AND THE BRAKES LIGHTS GOES OUT, AND NOW MY RACK PINYON IS GONE OUT. THIS CAR HAS COST ME MORE MONEY THAN ITS WORTH

INTERMITTENT ENGINE IGNITION FAILURE. ENGINE DOES NOT START WHEN GEAR SHIFT IS IN PARK AND KEY IS PROPERLY INSERTED AND TURNED. GRINDING NOISE AND ENGINE DOES NOT START. PROBLEM OCCURS UP TO FIVE TIMES PER WEEK UPON ATTEMPTING TO START THE CAR. THE ISSUE BEGAN IN APRIL 2018 AND IS ONGOING ON A WEEKLY BASIS. THE DEFECT HAS RESULTED IN UNRELIABLE TRANSPORTATION. I REPLACED THE IGNITION COILS AND IGNITION PLATE WAS CLEANED. PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. MECHANIC CANNOT IDENTIFY THE DEFECT. SIMILAR ISSUES HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH HYUNDAI SONATAS, RESULTING IN A RECALL. MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT INTERMITTENT HYUNDAI ELANTRA 2012 IGNITION FAILURE CAN BE FOUND ONLINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL CLUNKING NOISE WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. IN ADDITION, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND POWER STEERING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HYUNDAI OF NEW PORT RICHEY (3936 US HIGHWAY 19, NEW PORT RICHEY, FL 34652, (727) 359-0633), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,863.

WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH ON LEFT LANE, ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED AND CAR SKIDDED A LITTLE BECAUSE BRAKE WAS DEPLOYED AUTOMATICALLY OR THE WHEEL LOCKED. IT MADE 2 BRAKING/SKIDDING SOUND. THEN SUDDENLY I WAS ABLE TO STEER AGAIN AND POSITION THE CAR TO THE RIGHT FOR SAFETY. ENGINE WONT TURN ON. BURNING SMELL AND SOME SMOKE MAYBE FROM LOCKED BRAKE? CAR TOWED TO NEAREST HYUNDAI SHOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE CONTACT WAS PUMPING AIR INTO THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE VIA THE VEHICLE'S TIRE AIR PUMP SYSTEM AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TURNED ON WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE DEALER (TEXOMA HYUNDAI, 2500 TEXOMA PKWY, SHERMAN, TX 75090, (903) 892-0999) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE BRAKES LIGHTS AND FRONT PASSENGER LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS GOING. APPARENTLY, ITS HAPPENING WITH MANY HYUNDAI CUSTOMERS, THERE FORUM WRITTEN ONLINE ABOUT THESE SAME ISSUES ALL THE TIME. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE OVER 30 BULBS IN 4 YEARS.

TAKATA RECALL CAR DOESN'T WANT TO START AND STRUGGLES TO DO SO. HAVE REPLACED BATTERY AND KEY FOB BATTERIES. THIS HAS TO BE A STARTER ISSUE, POSSIBLY AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. SAYS "KEY OUT" WHILE I'M DRIVING IT HALF THE TIME. I AM AFRAID IT WILL CUT OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING IT! I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 2 YEARS! BEEN DOING THIS FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS.

VEHICLE STALLED TWICE WHILE DRIVING. ONCE WHILE MERGING FROM A HIGHWAY ON TO A SURFACE STREET. HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE INVOLVING 2012 ELANTRAS AND OTHER YEARS AS WELL. THIS ISSUE WAS ALSO PRESENT IN THE SONATA, AND ULTIMATELY WAS SETTLED WITH A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. SPEAKING WITH AN ATTORNEY WE ARE ALSO AWARE OF INSTANCES WHERE VEHICLES HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE AS A RESULT OF THESE DEFECTIVE ENGINES.

WELL I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND LATER FOUND OUT IT HAD A RECALL ON IT.... SOMETIMES WHEN I PRESS THE BREAKS IT SEEM LIKE IT FLOODING AND BE PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND MAKING NOISES UNDERNEATH NEAR TIRES.. IT ALSO HAVE A SENSOR LIGHTS ON.

WHILE DRIVING CAR STEERING WHEEL MAKES A CLICKING SOUND. CALLED HYUNDAI WAS TOLD TO CALL SERVICE LET SERVICE DEPARTMENTS KNOW THE PROBLEM IS TXX7 MDPS CUPPLING. ADVISED NOT SURE IF COVERED WITH MY100,000 WARRANTY ASK SERVICE DEPT. CASE #1484920

HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA (HYUNDAI) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011-2012 ELANTRA VEHICLES MANUFACTURED OCTOBER 29, 2010, TO OCTOBER 25, 2011. DUE TO AN ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) SENSOR MALFUNCTION, THE BRAKES FOR ONE OR MORE WHEELS MAY BE APPLIED UNEXPECTEDLY AND THE ENGINE POWER MAY BE REDUCED. THESE SYMPTOMS WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY ILLUMINATION OF THE ESC INDICATOR LAMP IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER.

THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL CAMPAIGN ON THE CLOCKSPRING FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL TURN ON AND OFF WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING. HYUNDAI CHARGED FOR A DIAGNOSIS WHICH REVEALED A "B1346 DRIVER AIRBAG RESISTANCE TOO HIGH (1ST STAGE)" CODE, BUT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING UNDER WARRANTY. ON HYUNDAI'S OWN WEBSITE THEY DESCRIBE THE REASON FOR THE ADDITIONAL WARRANTY AS: "THE CLOCK SPRING IS AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WHICH ROTATES WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAINTAIN PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE AIRBAG UNIT. HYUNDAI'S SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO ILLUMINATE THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WHEN ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE INCREASES, WHICH CAN BE CONTRIBUTED TO BY USAGE PATTERNS AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS." AND IN REGARDS TO WARRANTY EXTENSION: "HYUNDAI IS EXTENDING THE WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THE DRIVER'S FRONT AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY TO 15 YEARS, UNLIMITED MILEAGE, FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL RETAIL DELIVERY OR DATE OF FIRST USE. THIS COVERAGE IS AUTOMATIC; THERE IS NO ACTION NEEDED ON YOUR BEHALF." I WOULD LIKE HYUNDAI OF AMERICA TO REPLACE THE PART AS PROMISED, AS I CAN'T AFFORD TO DO MORE DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES, AND I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

DRIVING DOWN ROAD ENGINE DIED TOWED TO DEALER TOLD NEEDED NEW ENGINE HAD ONE AT 44,000 DONE UNDER WARRANTY. THIS ENGINE LASTED TO 76,000 NOW NEEDS ANOTHER ENGINE. ENGINE IS SO BACKORDERED DEALERSHIP TELLING ME 6 MONTHS. SO MANY ELANTRA ENGINES BLOWING UP SHOULD BE A RECALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AFTER PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPACE, I WENT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT LUNGED FORWARD SEVERAL FEET ONTO THE PAVEMENT AND UP 2 STEPS IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE...THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, AT THE CURB

TAPPING FROM ENGINE. HAVE ASKED DEALER TO INSPECT AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO ISSUE FOR THE LAST FOUR OIL CHANGES AND INSPECTIONS. WITH THE RECALL OF OTHER HYUNDAI, I'M THINKING THIS MAYBE THE SAME ISSUE.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO AUTO ZONE & VIDE 0713 & P0711. I ALSO TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AAMCO WHICH VERIFY THE SENSOR IN THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED HOWEVER THEY HAVE TO TAKE THE TRANSMISSION APART TO FIX. I ONLY HAVE 31,000 ON MY VEHICLE. HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL ALREADY OR DO YOU EXPECT THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER 1000,000 EVEN THOUGH I AM 2ND OWNER. THEY DID GIVE ME A CARD FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD IN THE VEHICLE. UPON PULLING OVER AND INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT COIL SPRING PUNCTURED ONE OF THE TIRES. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST SINCE THERE WERE NO RECALLS ATTRIBUTED TO THE VIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

ON ABOUT 3/23/2016 I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON I-287 ON MY MORNING COMMUTE WHEN MY SUNROOF EXPLODED, RAINING GLASS DOWN UPON ME. I ASSUMED IT WAS HIT BY A ROCK UNTIL I READ ABOUT THE EXPLODING SUNROOF PROBLEM. MY INSURANCE COMPANY (GEICO) PAID $1,323 TO REPLACE THE SUNROOF.

STEERING WHEEL IS WOBBLY. MY MECHANIC SAID HE COULDN'T FIX. NEED TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP

IN JUNE 2012 A TRUCK MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS T-BONED BY ME IN A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE TRUCK WAS HIT SO HARD IT ROCKED OVER ONTO ITS DRIVER SIDE WHEELS BEFORE COMING TO REST ON ALL FOUR. I LEARNED LATER THE IMPACT BROKE THE REAR AXLE. THAT SAID, MY FRONT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

EARLY SUNDAY MORNING, ON MARCH 23, 2013, JUST THREE DAYS BEFORE I AM TO HAVE AN ANTERIOR CERVICAL DISCECTOMY AND FUSION (WHICH IS THE RESULT OF A PREVIOUS AUTO ACCIDENT) A DRUNK DRIVER RUNS A RED LIGHT. T-BONING OUR 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE IMPACT CAUSES THE 2012 ELANTRA TO SPIN THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, COMING TO REST IN ITS ORIGINAL DIRECTION ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STREET, JUST A FEW FEET SHY OF A LARGE TREE. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.

I HAVE HAD A FEW INCIDENTS WHERE MY CAR SUDDEN ACCELERATES WHEN I AM NOT PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR.

MY ENGINE HAS VERY LOUD TICKING SOUNDS. AS WELL WHEN I GO TO SHIFT MY CAR BACK INTO PARK THE ENGINE REVS ERRATICALLY. WHILE SITTING IDLING IT GOES LOWER AND HIGHER.

THE VEHICLE HAS CONSTANT INTERMITTENT START UP ISSUES WHERE YOU GET A CLICK WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF WHAT IF THE CAR RANDOMLY CUTS OUT WHILE DRIVING? THE FACT THAT THEY CHANTED THE BATTERY SIZE HAS CREATED CONCERNS OF POTENTIAL FIRES WITH THE VEHICLE AS THE FAULTY WIRING MIXED WITH A BATTERY SIZE THAT JUST A YEAR LATER HYUNDAI CHANGED COULD LEAD TO A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE FACT HYUNDAI IS CHARGING PEOPLE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR "FIXES" THAT WITHIN HOURS OF COMPLETION ARE RENDERED WORTHLESS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS ISSUE IS WIDELY SEEN ONLINE FOR THIS YEAR MODEL BUT HYUNDAI REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. EVEN SPOKE TO A PARTS MANAGER FROM HYUNDAI AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL IN PARTICULAR AS IT WAS THE FIRST OF THE NEW BODY STYLE AND THAT BY THE 2013 MODEL THEY HAD MADE CHANGES TO THE BATTERY SIZE AND CONNECTORS WHICH CORRECTED THE ISSUE FOR FUTURE MODELS.

I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE 2012 ELANTRA WITH 85200 MILES. I HAVE HAD IT FOR 1 1/2 YEARS AND NOW MY SON OWNS IT (AS OF AUG 2017, MAKING HIM THE THIRD OWNER. HE LIVES WITH ME). THE OIL HAS BEEN CHANGED AS REQUIRED. THE TICKING SOUND THE ENGINE MADE SINCE WE GOT THE CAR HAS BEEN STEADILY INCREASING IN SOUND, AND OF RECENT, IT IS THE WORST IT HAS BEEN. I SELL CARS FULL TIME (OUR DEALERSHIP OWNS 2 HYUNDAI STORES), AND I ALSO OWN ANOTHER 2013 ELANTRA THAT I DRIVE PRESENTLY. OUR SERVICE DEPT TOOK APART THE ENGINE (ON THE 2012) TO FIND METAL SHAVINGS WHICH LED TO THE DIAGNOSIS THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE. MY SON IS 2000 MILES OUT OF HIS EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND HYUNDAI, NOR THE WARRANTY COMPANY IS EAGER TO FIX IT. I WAS TOLD BY OUR SERVICE DEPT THAT IN THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF, 5 ELANTRAS CAME IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM NEEDING NEW ENGINES AND HYUNDAI WOULDN'T REPLACE. HYUNDAI STATES THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DO A RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS BECOMING A BIGGER AND BIGGER UNIVERSAL PROBLEM WITH ELANTRA OWNERS. THE TICKING IS LOUDEST WHEN RUNNING COLD, AND/OR IN COLD WEATHER. (CAR IS IN OHIO). METAL SHAVINGS FROM THE ENGINE FOUND IN THE OIL IS NOT A 'NORMAL' ISSUE. I AM SEEKING RECOURSE WITH HYUNDAI TO FIX/REPLACE MY ENGINE. THE DATE STATED ON THIS FORM AS TO "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN" IS WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP AT WORK TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE TICKING HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, BUT NEVER AS LOUD AS IT HAS BECOME. MY SON HAS HAD THE CAR AT COLLEGE, BUT I KEEP TRACK OF IT NEEDING OIL CHANGES AND HAVE DOCUMENTATION.

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A STORE PARKING LOT AND WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP. MY FRONT SUSPENSION COLLAPSED. LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO A CAR REPAIR PLACE AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT THERE THROUGH BURNING RUBBER AND INCREDIBLY LOUD NOISE. I BOUGHT THE TIRES A MONTH PRIOR. WHOLE FRONT SUSPENSION WAS REPLACED.

RADIO HAS STOPPED WORKING

I BOUGHT USED CAR WITH AIR BAG LIGHTS ON. NO ACCIDENT ON THE CAR AND AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. I CHECKED WITTH MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE CHECKED AND TOLD ME SENSOR ON PASSENGER FRONT SEAT IS BAD AND NEED TO REPLACE SEAT

CHANGED OIL AND BRIGHT GOLD LOOKING METAL FLAKES ARE IN THE OIL. MECHANICS SAY THEY ARE PARTS OF THE MAIN BEARINGS. ENGINE IS GOING TO BLOW UP. 62,303MILES

STEERING WHEEL CLICKS WHEN MOVED EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT, EVEN WHEN NOT MOVING.

BOTH VISORS - MECHANISM INSIDE EXPLODED NOW VISORS STUCK IN ODD POSITION WHERE DOES NOT BLOCK SUN AND HITS YOU IN THE FOREHEAD IF YOU HAVE AN ACCIDENT IT WOULD KILL YOU .. THIS IS DEFECT IN PLASTIC MECHANISM THAT HOLDS THE VISOR .. I CAN SEE ONLINE THOUSANDS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.. DEFECTIVE MECHANISM IN VISOR.,

2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR MAT DAMAGES AND UNABLE TO LOCATE REPLACEMENT. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR MAT WAS BADLY WORN. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THE MATS CAN NOT BE SOLD SEPARATELY. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THAT WAS UNACCEPTABLE. *JS

ALL OIL CHANGES FOR THIS CAR HAS BEEN DONE AT A DEALERSHIP SINCE MY STEPFATHER BOUGHT THIS CAR. UPON HIS DEATH, THE CAR HAD 111,000 MILES WHEN THE TITLE WAS TRANSFERRED TO ME. COLD WEATHER WAS APPROACHING AND I WANTED TO GET AN OIL CHANGE DONE. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT GET ME IN FOR A WEEK AND EVEN CANCELLED AN APPOINTMENT I HAD TO I WENT TO EXHAUST PRO. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GOT TO 20 BELOW ZERO WIND CHILL THE ENGINE STARTED TICKING. I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM CHANGE OIL BUT THE TICKING PERSISTED. I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ABOUT TICKING NOISE AND WAS INFORMED THERE ARE METAL SHAVINGS IN OIL AND ENGINE NEEDS REPLACED COSTING $9400. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2012 AND 2013 ELANTRA BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN DONE LIKE THE SONATA. I FEEL THAT HYUNDAI SHOULD REPLACE THE ENGINE AT NO COST TO ME. IT MAY NOT BE UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE BUT HYUNDAI KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND NOT THE CONSUMER.

MY STEERING IS LOOSE AND THE WHEEL CLUNKS AND RATTLES. SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL WILL COME RIGHT OFF. I CAN HIT THE SLIGHTEST BUMP AND IT WILL RATTLE AND SHAKE LIKE I RAN OVER A HUGE POT HOLE. ALSO, WHEN I'M DRIVING THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN AND WHINE LIKE I HIT THE BRAKES EVEN WHEN I DIDN'T. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED WHEN I HIT THE GAS BUT THE CAR DECIDED IT WANTED TO SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN A FEW SECONDS LATER. THERE IS SOMETHING TERRIBLY WRONG HERE. THE ENGINE IS ALSO MAKING A TICKING/KNOCKING NOISE WHEN WARMING UP. THIS HAPPENS DAILY.

WHEN THE WEATHER GOT COLD THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE BLOCK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AND TO CONTACT HYUNDAI SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2012 ELANTRA. FYI: THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER HAS COME ON FOR THIS PROBLEM.

THE POWER TRAIN DOES NOT SHIFT AT TIMES, STICKS IN 3RD GEAR, POPS IN AND OUT WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30 AND 35 MPH.

MY VEHICLE WAS IN CAR ACCIDENT ON 2/13/18, WAS HIT WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET WITH SUCH A FORCE THAT THE CAR WAS PUSHED ACROSS MEDIAN STRIP ONTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHICH THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY?

I'VE BEEN FEELING THE CAR PULLING FORWARD FOR A WHILE NOW. IT'S GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE I CAN ONLY PRESS ON THE PEDAL A LITTLE SO IT'S DOESNT SPEED UP TO FAST. WHEN THE CAR IS GOING UP HILL IT STARTS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN AND WHEN YOU LET GO OF THE BREAKS YOU CAN FEEL IT ACCELERATING WITHOUT GIVING IT ANY GAS.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS DRIVING. IT WOULD COME ON AND OFF AT FIRST, BUT NOW IT STAYS ON THE WHOLE TIME THE CAR IS ON. CAR SHAKES EXCESSIVELY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IDLE.

PERIODICALLY (INCLUDING TODAY) MY ELANTRA WILL NOT START. ALL ELECTRONICS TURN ON AND THE BATTERY, ENGINE, OIL INDICATORS APPEAR ON THE DASH. AS MANY OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED I WAIT 5-10 MINUTES AND TRY MY CAR AGAIN IT WILL WORK JUST FINE. HAD A FEW DIAGNOSTICS WHERE THE DEALER SUSPECTED BATTERY OR OIL CHANGE BUT I'VE HAD SEVERAL BATTERIES SINCE OEM AND KEEP UP TO DATE ON SYNTHETIC OIL. SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING RANGE SHIFT BEING THE CULPRIT. EITHER WAY I'LL BE TAKING IT TO BE INSPECTED BEFORE IT GETS ANY WORSE/WILL NOT START AT ALL.

THE STEERING IN MY 2012 ELANTRA STICKS WHILE DRIVING ON STRAIGHT ON STRAIGHT ROADS AT SPEEDS OVER 40-50 MPH. THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING AND IT FEELS LIKE A MAGNET BREAKING FREE FROM A METAL SURFACE WHEN TRYING TO NAVIGATE. A RESISTANCE IS ALWAYS PRESENT AT HIGHER SPEEDS. CONSTANT CORRECTION IS MANDATORY OR I FEEL THE STEERING WHEEL WON'T BREAK FREE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. HYUNDAI ADVISED REPLACING THE MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING COLUMN AT MY COST OF $1300 PARTS AND LABOR. I HAVE HAD THE STEERING COUPLER REPLACED FOR $100. THIS IS NOT THE FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE CLOCKSPRING ISSUE IS ALSO NOT A FIX. I'VE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE ON THE FORUMS. THIS IS PRESENT ON SEVERAL MODEL YEARS WITH LOW AND HIGH MILEAGE VEHICLES.

INHIBITOR OR RANGE SWITCH WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE CAR IT ONLY MAKES A SINGLE CLICK AND THE DISPLAY DOES NOT ALWAYS SHOW THAT THE CAR IS IN PARK. SOMETIMES SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL ALLOWS FOR A START. SOMETIMES WIGGLING GEAR SHIFT WHILE IN PARK ALLOWS FOR A START. SOMETIMES IT JUST DOESN'T WANT TO START. MECHANIC WON'T REPLACE ANY PART IF THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I'VE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE (2012) AS WELL AS THE 2011 AND 2013 MODELS. THIS CAN SERIOUSLY CAUSE PEOPLE TO BECOME STRANDED!!!

STEERING IS LOOSE - HARD TO HANDLE

WHILE IN MOTION, CAR JOLTS AS TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BLINKS AS WELL AS THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT. ENGINE THEN SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER A 2 MONTH PERIOD, AT A VARIETY OF SPEEDS AND ON BOTH HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS.

I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT, THE CAR ACCELERATED BY ITSELF JUMPING THE CURB RUNNING ABOUT 15 FEET AND HITTING A ROCK BEFORE I COULD STOP IT.

THIS IS A PUSHBUTTON START VEHICLE. INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN THE BUTTON IS PUSHED, THE CAR WON'T START. THIS OCCURS WITH A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY, FOOT DEPRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, ETC. THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH MY LOCAL DEALER PROFESSED TO NEVER HAVE HEARD OF IT. CONSENSUS ONLINE IS THAT IT IS A FAULTY "RANGE SWITCH", RESULTING IN A FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE TO SENSE THAT IT IS IN PARK. DEALERS CLAIM THAT THEY "CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM", AND SO CAN'T FIX IT.

ATTEMPTED TO SWITCH LANES ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH. SWITCHED LANES SUCCESSFULLY, BUT COULD NOT STRAIGHT THE STEERING BACK STRAIGHT, CAUSING CRASH INTO CONCRETE BARRIER! AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AFTER BOUNCING BACK OFF OF THE CONCRETE BARRIER.

IT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A VEHICLE TO NOT COVER SAFETY CONCERNS AS IT IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE WITH HYUNDAI'S MANUFACTURING.

THE FRONT COIL SPRING FRACTURED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND CAME INTO CONTACT WITH MY TIRE. THE COIL STARTED TO RUB AGAINST MY TIRE UNTIL IT WAS PUNCTURED. I THINK THIS MAY RELATE TO THE RECALL FOR THE 2011 ELANTRA (15V629000).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (HENDERSON HYUNDAI, 46 N BOULDER HWY, HENDERSON, NC 89015) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR WAS CLOGGED AND THE VEHICLE HAD AN OIL LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON AND OFF THE SPEED SENSORS IN TRANSMISSIONS MAY HAVE FAILED

CLICKING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING/ STARTING CAR

MY 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA BEGAN HAVING ACCELERATION PROBLEMS FOR THE PAST 6 TO 9 MONTHS. AS I STEP ON THE GAS AT APPROXIMATELY 30 TO 40 MPH THE AUTOMOBILE KICKS, BUCKS AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS INTENDED. MY HYUNDAI DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP/ASSEMBLY ($700) AND IT SEEMED TO GET WORSE.FAILURE TO ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED IS A DANGER IF YOU ARE TRYING TO ENTER A BUSY HIGHWAY OR TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ANOTHER SPEEDING VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR AT SPEEDS UP TO 65 MPH WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS. THIS HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS BUT NOT EVERY DAY.

"TAKATA RECALL" POOR ENGINE PERFORMANCE. ROUGH IDLE AT COLD START. SMELL GAS AS WELL. RANDOMLY BLOWS HUGE AMOUNTS OF SMOKE OUT THE TAIL PIPE WHILE ACCELERATING. "EXAMPLE" MERGING ON INTERSTATE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE VEHICLE REACHED 50,000 MILES. ALL MAINTENANCE WORK HAS BEEN DONE. NOW AT 77,986 RUNS LIKE A GRASS CUTTER. JUST RUNS ROUGH.

"TAKATA RECALL" TURN IGNITION KEY TO START POSITION AND CLICK, CLICK, MOTOR DOES NOT START. TURN KEY OFF BACK ON TO START POSITION AND ENGINE STARTS. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY.

FRONT AXLES ARE LOUD WHILE DRIVING. CHANGED TO A SOFTER COMPOUND TIRE AND MADE A DIFFERENCE. HOWEVER, THE ROAD NOISE HAS BECOME LOUDER AT 77,986. TOOK VEHICLE TO SERVICE AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON AROUND 20,000 MILES.

TAKATA RECALL. AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. LOOKED ONLINE AND A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START MY VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT START. ALL LIGHTS CAME ON, BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND SITTING FOR 10 MINUTES IT FINALLY STARTED. TWO DAYS LATER MY VEHICLE DID THE SAME EXACT THING. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. WHILE AT THE CAR SHOP ANOTHER ELANTRA OWNER (2011 MODEL YEAR) WAS THERE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I AM UNSURE EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM CAN BE BUT I DID LOOK ONLINE AND MANY OWNERS FOR THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA MODEL YEARS 2011-2013 COMPLAINED OF THE SAME ISSUE.

WHEN DRVING THE 2012 ELANTRA OVER A POT HOLE, A MAN HOLE OR ANY OTHER UNEVEN SURFACE OR IMPERFECTION ON THE ROAD THE ELANTRA SWAYS IN AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE MANNER, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A FIRM GRIP IN THE STEERING WHEEL YOU CAN DEFINATELY LOOSE CONTROL AND HAVE OR CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. HYUNDAI SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THERE ARE SO MANY OWNERS COMPLINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. IT CURRENTLY HAS 84,585 MILES AND I PURCHASED IT USED FROM A DEALERSHIP AT 48,484 MILES. IT WAS INSPECTED BY A HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR AFTER MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE AND STALLING CONTINUALLY. IT WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE THE SONATA HAS WHICH IS COVERED IN THE CLASS ACTION SUIT, BUT OUR DEALERS REQUEST FOR A NEW SHORT BLOCK WAS DENIED BY HYUNDAI. THERE ARE METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL VALVE, AND ALSO IN THE OIL PAN CAUSED BY SHEARING FROM THE CRANKSHAFT. THERE APPEAR TO BE OTHERS WITH THE SAME CRANKSHAFT ISSUE THAT OWN ELANTRA MODELS AS WELL. PLEASE SEE ABOVE ATTACHMENTS. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE SAME FAULTY DEBURRING PROCESS THAT WAS USED ON THE SONATA'S CRANK SHAFT MAY HAVE ALSO BEEN USED ON CERTAIN ELANTRA'S DURING THE SAME TIMEFRAME. I ALSO HAVE RECEIPTS OF ALL OF MY OIL CHANGES. IF THERE IS ANY INFORMATION THAT IS PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THIS DEBURRING PROCESS THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN USED ON OTHER ENGINE MODELS OR IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO PROCEED, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

AIRBAG LIGHT AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I TURNED ON MY CAR. IT DOES GO OFF AFTER DRIVING A FEW MINUTES, BUT ALWAYS COMES BACK ON

THE FIRST TROUBLE STARTED WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MILES/HOUR, MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO DRIVE AT THE SPEED THE CAR WOULD CHOOSE TO RUN AND IN A FEW MINUTES IT WOULD WORK FINE AGAIN. BUT THIS KEPT HAPPENING WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE THE CAR ON HIGHWAYS AND I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS SENSOR PROBLEMS. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN I USE AIR CONDITIONING, OR USE THE HEAD LIGHTS. CAR WILL RANDOMLY NOT TURN ON ALTHOUGH BATTERY IS NEW AND MAKES A HUMMING NOISE AS I TURN THE KEY.

THE SUN VISOR BROKE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LOWER IT INTO POSITION WHILE DRIVING. THE PLASTIC PARTS THAT SURROUND THE ARM INSIDE OF THE VISOR BROKE. THE SOUND AND MOVEMENT OF THE BROKEN VISOR CAUSED ME A MOMENT OF STARTLED, DISTRACTED DRIVING UNTIL I COULD PULL OVER AND TRY TO DEAL WITH IT. THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP OR DOWN. IT HANGS IN MY LINE OF VISION AND CREATES A DRIVING HAZARD. IT ALSO HANGS TOO CLOSE TO MY HEAD AND CREATES A PHYSICAL HAZARD. I BUMPED MY HEAD ON IT YESTERDAY WHILE AT THE DRIVE-THROUGH PHARMACY. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT A WARNING (WITH AN EXCLAMATION POINT INSIDE A TRIANGLE IN A YELLOW BOX) INDICATES THAT A CONDITION MAY RESULT IN HARM, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH IF THE WARNING IS IGNORED. THERE IS A WARNING ON PAGE 4-94 OF THE OWNER'S MANUAL THAT STATES, "WARNING FOR YOUR SAFETY, DO NOT OBSTRUCT YOUR VISION WHEN USING THE SUNVISOR." HYUNDAI KNOWS THAT OBSTRUCTING ONE'S VISION WITH THE SUNVISOR MAY RESULT IN HARM, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. HYUNDAI KNOWS THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES, AS THEY HAVE ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS IN THE PAST (08-01-029, HYUNDAI RECALL CAMPAIGN T64) FOR THE SAME ISSUE. HYUNDAI KNOWS THAT THIS CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL ELANTRA, SANTA FE, ACCENT, SONATA, AND OTHER OWNERS. A SIMPLE WEB SEARCH WILL SHOW SEVERAL RESULTS: HTTP://WWW.HYUNDAI-FORUMS.COM/MD-2011-2016-ELANTRA-SEDAN-COUPE/130049-BROKEN-SUN-VISOR.HTML HTTP://WWW.CARSAFETYREFERENCE.COM/HYUNDAI-SONATA-2007/VISIBILITY_WIPER/ HTTP://WWW.HOWTOMENDIT.COM/ANSWERS.PHP?ID=157121 THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE REPLACEMENT SUNVISOR WILL COST OVER $100 WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR CHARGES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND/OR EXTENDED WARRANTY.

BROUGHT IT IN TO GET MY OIL CHANGED AND THEY TOLD ME I NEED A NEW ENGINE AS IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE RECALLED HYUNDAI SONATA ENGINES HAVE.

INTERMITTENT...CAR IS STATIONARY AND I ATTEMPT TO START CAR WITH PUSH START AND THE ENGINE WILL CRANK FOR APPROX 3 SECOND AND THEN START. I TURN CAR OFF AND HEAR A TICK TICK TICK FROM ENGINE. RESTARTS WITH NO HESITATION. THIS IS USUALLY AFTER A DRIVE AROUND TOWN AND THEN I COME HOME AND MAYBE ABOUT 6 HOURS LATER I'LL GO BACK INTO MY CAR AND IT WILL SPUTTER AGAIN. NO SOLUTION AS OF YET.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON @ 25900 MILES & MANUAL STATES BRING INTO DEALER RIGHT AWAY, THIS WAS ALSO CONFIRMED WITH A CALL TO THE DEALER.. WORK ORDER STATES"TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN" STATES TECHNICIAN UPDATED ELECTRICAL CONTROL UNIT, & CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. MY CONCERN WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL ITEM. SINCE THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN PUT OUR IN THIS ISSUE.

MY HUSBAND BACKED THE CAR UP 3 INCHES IN OUR DRIVEWAY AND THE FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE, SHOT THROUGH THE TIRE AND THE TIRE EXPLODED. WE BOUGHT OUR 2012 ELANTRA IN OCTOBER 2011 AND APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL OF THE 2011 ELANTRAS FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE FOR CARS THAT ARE OWNED IN THE "SALT BELT" / COLD WEATHER STATES WHICH IS WHERE WE LIVE, BUT THE RECALL WAS ONLY ISSUED FOR ELANTRAS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 11/12/10 TO 3/31/11. MINE IS A 2012 WHICH WAS PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2011AND MANUFACTURED SOMETIME BETWEEN MARCH 2011 AND OCTOBER 2011. I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT HYUNDAI, WHICH APPARENTLY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUE UNTIL AN INCREASE IN WARRANTY CLAIMS ON THE ISSUE STARTED AN INVESTIGATION OF IT IN 2014, CHANGED THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS THEY WERE USING TO MANUFACTURE THE SAME CAR JUST 1 "YEAR" NEWER BETWEEN THE END OF THE RECALLED VEHICLE DATE AND THE MANUFACTURE DATE OF MY 2012 ELANTRA. I NOW HAVE TO REPLACE BOTH, RELATIVELY NEW TIRES, AND FRONT STRUTS AND SPRINGS. I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD INCLUDE MORE VEHICLE YEARS SINCE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO REASON FOR THEM TO CHANGE THE PARTS THEY WERE USING BETWEEN 2011 AND 2012 MODELS IF THEY WERE UNAWARE OF A PROBLEM. ALSO, A 2012 ELANTRA THAT WAS POSSIBLE MANUFACTURED IN THE RECALL TIME FRAME SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

IN MY ELANTRA 2012 THE LIGHT OF THE AIRBAG IS ON, THE VEHICLE HAS NOT SUFFERED ACCIDENTS OR STRONG BLOWS, AND HAS FOLLOWED THE MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER (FOLLOWING THE MANUAL), (95K MILES). THE DEALER SAYS THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT MAY COME ON BECAUSE SOME OF THE SENSORS ARE DAMAGED; THE COST OF THE REPAIR CAN RANGE FROM $ 250 UP TO $ 3000. WITH THIS LIGHT ON, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. HYUNDAI HAS A GOOD REPUTATION, AND SAFETY SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE VAST MAJORITY OF ELANTRA OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. (GOOGLING). THE SOLUTION SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS A RECALL.

CLICKING NOISE WHEN MOVING STEERING WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION. BOTH STOPPED AND WHILE DRIVING. NO RECALL YET BUT WITH THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE, IT SHOULD BE. REPAIR ESTIMATE 425.00.

THE CLOCK SPRING HAS WORN AFTER ROUGHLY 55K MILES AND JUST BEING OUT OF WARRANTY. DEALER REPLACEMENT IS $300 AND AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WITHOUT REPAIR. THIS BEGAN AFTER GOING OVER ROUGH BRICK PAVERS AND THE LIGHT IS INTERMITTENTLY ON, PROBABLY ABOUT 80-90% OF THE TIME. AS I UNDERSTAND IT THE VERACRUZ AND SANTA FE MODELS HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE A FEW YEAR PRIOR (11-01-052) AND ONLINE SEARCHES SHOW THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH (AT LEAST) EARLY PRODUCTION ELANTAS. WHILE OWNER DIY REPLACEMENT IS POSSIBLE, IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED DUE TO SRS SYSTEM IMPORTANCE AS WELL AS LACK OF ABILITY TO RECALIBRATE SOFTWARE.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. CLAY COOLEY HYUNDAI DEALER IN ROCKWALL, TEXAS DIAGNOSIS WAS THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDING REPLACEMENT. HYUNDAI TOLD ME "NO DEALER IN THE COUNTRY HAS THIS PART RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF A DEFECT IN THE PART. THE MANUFACTURER MUST MAKE NEW PARTS THAT WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL JUNE 2017." I WAS SENT AWAY AND TOLD THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. MEANWHILE, MY AIRBAGS ARE DEACTIVATED AND MAY NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTO PART STORE, BUT THE EMPLOYEE COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT FUSE THE VEHICLE NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V871000 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

ENGINE TICKING. BROUGHT IT IN AND THEY INFORMED ME I NEED AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME IF I DO NOT GET THE ENGINE FIXED AND CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT, IT COULD STALL AND OR POTENTIALLY BLOW UP. VEHICLE IS UNDER 100K MILES, HOWEVER I AM SECOND OWNER, SO IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I DO HAVE ALL OF MY SERVICE RECORDS, I DEFINITELY MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE SO THERE IS NO REASON TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE ON MY BEHALF. HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT FIXED YET AS I DO NOT HAVE 8K LAYING AROUND TO DO SO. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO RECALL THEIR 2012 ELANTRA ENGINES AS IT IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM.

THERE IS A LOT OF GIVE AND PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN YOU TURN IT THAT IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY TURN YOUR WHEELS.

ELANTRA WITH 1.8L ENGINE DEVELOPED AN ENGINE "TICKING" NOISE AT 60K MILES THAT DEVELOPED INTO A "KNOCKING" NOISE SHORTLY THERE AFTER. MAIN ROD BEARING FAILURE. HAD TO HAVE ENGINE SHORT BLOCK REPLACED. VEHICLE HAD SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE THAT INCLUDED OIL CHANGES MORE FREQUENTLY THAN REQUIRED. ENGINE WOULD HAVE DESTROYED ITSELF AND STALLED IF CONTINUED WITHOUT REPAIR. LIMITED SEARCH ON INTERNET SHOWED MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO NHTSA RECALL NHTSA REFERENCE #15V568000 ON HYUNDAI SONATA WITH 2.0L AND 2.4L ENGINES.

THE ENGINE IS MAKING A TICKING NOISE. WAS TOLD THAT THE LIFTERS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THERE IS TOO MUCH BACK PRESSURE. I WILL NEED A NEW ENGINE. SEVERAL OTHER MODELS ARE UNDER A RECALL BUT NOT THIS BRAND.

ENGINE FAILURE. DRIVING ON FREEWAY.LOST POWER. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NOISE FROM ENGINE. PULLED OVER TO GAS STATION. OIL WAS LOW. TOWED TO DEALER. THEY SAID THE CAR HAD SEVERE OIL SLUDGE THROUGHOUT ENGINE. MY CAR WAS MADE AT THE SAME ALABAMA MANUFACTURING PLANT AS THE RECALLED HYUNDAI SONATAS THAT WERE RECALLED FOR ENGINE FAILURE. MY CAR IS STILL UNDER THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY. HYUNDAI OF AMERICA WILL NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE MY ENGINE BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ALL MY OIL AND MAINTENANCE RECEIPTS. I HAVE ANOTHER 2006 SATURN THAT I MAINTAINED THE SAME WAY AND IT IS DRIVING PERFECTLY. PLEASE CONSIDER A RECALL FOR ENGINE FAILURE FOR ELANDRAS BUILT IN ALABAMA IN 2012. I HAVE SEEN ONLINE OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR HAVE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS.

YES , I HAVE BEEN BUYING LIGHT BULLS FOR MY CAR OVER THE LAST YEAR'S AND THEY GO OUT LESS THAN A MONTH TIME, I HAVE BROUGHT MORE THEN 10 AND THE PEOPLE AT THE PART STORE SAID IT'S A ELECTRIC PROBLEM, BUT THE PEOPLE AT DEALERSHIP WANT ME TO PAY 125 TO PUT IT ON THERE MACHINE. I DON'T THINK THAT'S FAIR.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH REMAINED ON AFTER START, WENT OUT FOR SEVERAL MOMENTS THEN HAS REMAINED ON. IS REMAINING ON AFTER MULTIPLE RESTARTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE ESC INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WHILE DRIVING AND ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT AND SEEMED TO LOSE POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

I HAD MY CAR FOR A YEAR AND 3MONTHS AND HAVEN'T HAD THIS PROBLEM TILL NOW I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY I HIT A SMALL BUMP AND I'VE HIT BIGGER BUMPS AND NEVER EVER HAVE MY AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON, OR BREAK LIGHT MAY GO OUT IF I HIT A BUMP THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP AND IT SHOULDN'T BE A FEE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS CORRECTLY AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO PARK THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

OCCASIONALLY WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY - ANY SPEED FROM 50-70 MPH - THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT WILL FLASH, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NO ADVERSE CONDITIONS. WHILE THE LIGHT IS FLASHING, I CAN FEEL THAT MY LEFT REAR BRAKE IS APPLIED, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO CORRECT THE COURSE OF THE CAR. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR ANYMORE. THIS DID NOT START HAPPENING UNTIL AFTER I RECEIVED THE RECALL SERVICE ASSOCIATED WITH CAMPAIGN 137 FOR THE THE YAW SENSOR (WHICH DESCRIBES THE EXACT SCENARIO I AM EXPERIENCING NOW). THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS SO FAR (DATE NOTED BELOW IS MOST RECENT INSTANCE). IN THAT TIME PERIOD I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY REAR ROTORS REPLACED, AND THE BRAKE PADS REPLACED TWICE. THE SECOND TIME I REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS, THEY HAD HEATED UP SO MUCH FROM DRAGGING THAT THEY HAD FUSED ONTO THE ROTOR, AND THE CALIPER WAS BROKEN.

CAR WON'T START INTERMITTENTLY. HAD BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECKED. LIGHTS GO ON,RADIO WORKS BUT CAR WON'T START. CAR IS USUALLY PARKED IN A PARKING LOT OR DRIVEWAY. WEATHER IS NICE NOT TOO HOT OR TOO COLD.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON AND STAYS ON. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE CLOCKSPRING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. THERE ARE OTHER VEHICLES AFFECTED, NOT JUST MINE. MY FRIEND WITH A 2011 SONATA HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY WON'T DO A RECALL...

ALL OF THE ISSUES I AM HAVING APPEAR TO BE INVOLVED WITH THE COMPONENTS OF/ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO MY STEERING WHEEL. THE RED AIRBAG "ERROR" LIGHT CAME ON (INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST) ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD APPROX 64K MILES ON IT. OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, THE HORN HAS STOPPED WORKING (ANOTHER POTENTIALLY LARGE SAFETY ISSUE), AND THE BUTTONS THAT CONTROL THE UPWARD VOLUME AND RADIO STATION BROWSING HAVE BEEN WAVERING BETWEEN WORKING SOMETIMES AND NOT WORKING AT ALL. I DID SOME RESEARCH ABOUT THE AIRBAG AND HORN PROBLEMS, AND THERE WERE MANY STORIES FROM OTHER OWNERS OF HYUNDAI ELANTRAS OF VARIOUS YEARS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. IN ADDITION, THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH DEALERS SOUNDED VERY MUCH LIKE MINE IN THAT THEY (THE DEALER(S)) WANT TO CHARGE A SUM OF MONEY TO FIRST INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND THEN CHARGE FOR THE REPAIR(S). BECAUSE THE AIRBAG AND HORN PROBLEMS ARE POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS, I FELT THE NEED TO REPORT THESE CONCERNS. I AM ATTACHING A PICTURE THAT I TOOK WITH MY CELL PHONE ON 8/17/16 FOR REFERENCE. *TR

I NOTICED I HAD TO AIR MY TIRE UP ONCE EVERY FEW DAYS, SO I THOUGHT THERE WAS A NAIL OR SLOW LEAK IN MY BRAND NEW TIRE, BUT THEN I HAD TO START AIRING IT UP DAILY, I THEN TOOK IT TO THE TIRE SHOP, THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO GET A NEW RIM BECAUSE THERE WAS A CRACK ON THE INSIDE OF MY RIM. BY THE TIME MY NEW RIM CAME IN I WAS HAVING TO AIR MY TIRE UP EVERY HOUR. I KEPT THE CRACKED RIM. I WAS DRIVING WHEN I NOTICED IT GOING LOW. IT DID CAUSE A BLOWOUT ON MY NEW TIRE, THERE IS NO REASON A 4 YEAR OLD RIM SHOULD HAVE CRACKED ON THE INSIDE. THEY ARE ALLOY WHEELS. BUT I HAD TO PAY ALMOST 200 DOLLARS FOR A NEW RIM AND THEN ANOTHER 100 ON A NEW TIRE AFTER I HAD JUST BOUGHT 4 OF THEM. THERE HAS TO BE A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT ON THE ALLOY WHEELS. IF THE RIM WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO BE ON THE FRONT OF MY CAR IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATAL CRASH. *TR

GEAR WILL NOT SHIFT OR MOVE. TRANSMISSION CABLE BROKE AND LEFT THE VEHICLE IMMOBILE.

I JUST CRASHED THIS CAR YESTERDAY, 01/09/2017 ON RT. 724 BETWEEN BIRDSBORO, PA AND GIBRALTAR, PA. I WAS DRIVING WITH A 50-55 MPH ON A 55 MPH ROAD GOING TO WORK WITH ALMOST NO TRAFFIC. I WAS DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE WHEN IT HAPPENED, I WAS NOT EVEN TURNING.THE SKY WAS CLEAR AND NO DISTRACTIONS. SUDDENLY, THE CAR WHEELS WENT LEFT AND RIGHT AND THEN ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT TAKING ME TO OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CRASHING THE CAR IN A DITCH THEN FLIPPING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE(I ATTACHED PICTURES). MY TRIALS TO TURN IT BACK TO THE RIGHT ALL FAILED. EMT CAME AND WERE ABLE TO GET ME OUT. I ALMOST GOT KILLED. I DON'T DRINK OR SMOKE. I HEARD OF SEVERAL INCIDENTS LIKE THIS ABOUT THE STEERING IN ELANTRA. THE CAR HAS ONLY 56000 MILES ON IT. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS WITH STEERING. I FELT LIKE THERE WAS NO STEERING AT ALL. HYUNDAI MOTORS SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR SUCH FAULTS IN THEIR CARS AND AFFECTED OWNERS SHOULD BE COMPENSATED. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE HYUNDAI AGAIN. (THE PICTURE SHOWING THE TIRE MARKS WAS TAKEN A FEW HOURS AFTER THE CRASH. IT SHOWS THAT THE ROAD WAS CLEAR AND CLEAN). *TR

SOLD A LEMON LAW BUYBACK CAR WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND I WAS TO SIGN A DOCUMENT STATING THAT I NEW THAT I WAS PURCHASING A LEMON LAW BUYBACK CAR. I DID NOT FIND OUT UNTIL I WENT TO GET THE PLATES FOR MY CAR AND THEY SHOWED ME THE TITLE. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND BASICALLY MY LOSS THEIR GAIN. MAY 2015 HAD TO REPLACE HOSE AND HAVE A/C RECHARGED COSTING ALMOST $300 JULY 2015 HAD TO HAVE BOTH FROM WHEEL BEARING REPLACED ALONG WITH TIRES COSTING ME $800 JUNE 2016 HAD TO HAVE END LINKS ON SWAY BAR AND CV JOINT AND SHAFT REPLACED. THIS WAS UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY STILL IN PLACE ON THE CAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. WHEN TESTED SAID IT WAS AN O2 SENSOR. THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK STICKS. SO I HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK IT FOR MY KEY FOB TO LOCK ALL OF THE DOORS. TODAY WAS JUST TOLD I NEED WHEEL BEARINGS AND TIRES ON THE FRONT END. I BELIEVE THIS CAR HAS TOO MANY ISSUES BEING A NEWER CAR. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR WITH THIS MANY ISSUES. ESPECIALLY A NEWER CAR. I CANNOT GET OUT OF THE LOAN BECAUSE IT IS A LEMON LAW BUYBACK AND THE RESALE ON IT IS HORRIBLE. I CANNOT AFFORD THE UPKEEP ON THE PROBLEMS IT KEEPS HAVING. SOMETHING IS WRONG THIS CAR. *TR

STEERING GETS STICKY OR STUCK. IT'S NOT LIKE IT GETS COMPLETELY STUCK THAT YOU CAN'T TURN THE WHEEL, BUT THERE'S A NOTICEABLE RESISTANCE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND WANTING TO CHANGE LANES. LEFT OR RIGHT IT DOES IT BOTH WAYS.

ITS NOT A SAFE PLACE TO PUT ANYTHING WITHOUT THE CHANCE OF BEING STOLEN FROM TRUNK OR GIVE ACCES TO THE MAIN CABIN CAUSE THATS WHERE THE BACKSEAT RELEASE IS OPEN SEASON FOR THEFT

RANDOM NO START. PUSH BUTTON START WILL JUST MAKE ONE CLICK SOUND AND NOT START (THIS IS NOT A LOW BATTERY CLICKING SOUND). AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS, THE ENGINE WILL START. ONE TIME IT TOOK OVER 10 MINUTES OF PUSHING THE START BUTTON ON AND OFF TO FINALLY GET IT TO START. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT RANDOM TIMES. IT WILL START FINE FOR MONTHS AND THEN JUST RANDOMLY NOT START. IT HAPPENED IN THE PAST AN JUST STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN ABOUT A WEEK AGO.

ON NOVEMBER 8TH, 2016, SAINT PAUL, MN, MY CAR WOULD NOT START UP. NO WARNING SIGNALS CAME ON AND JUST MADE A "CLICKING" NOISE". I CALLED HYUNDAI'S ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WHEN THEY ARRIVED HE TOLD ME TO TRY TO START IT UP. THE CAR THEN CAME ON WHICH WAS APPROX. A 45 MINUTE WAIT. IN OCTOBER 2015- EAGAN, MN, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I FELT DIZZY, NAUSEOUS AND HAD A PANIC ATTACK. I TRIED PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP DESPITE STEPPING ON BREAKS, THE CAR KEPT PULLING TOWARD THE SIDE OF THE GRASS THAT WAS SURROUNDED WITH GRAVEL. I ENDED UP HITTING AND STOPPING AT A GUARDRAIL. THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL WAS BLOWN AND ALONG THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER DOOR WAS SCRATCHED, THERE WAS ALSO SOME FRONT END DAMAGE WHICH GOT REPAIRED. IN APPROX. MARCH 2015- WEST SAINT PAUL, I JUST GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR LOST POWER. I STARTED IT UP, PRESSED ON THE GAS AND ENDED UP REAR ENDED THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME.

AFTER OUT OF WARRANTY LIKE 1 MONTHS OR SO THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON I DO A RESEARCH ONLINE A LOT OF THE ELANTRA OWNER HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AFTER OUT OF WARRANTY SAME ISSUES COME OUT --AIRBAG LIGHT ON WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER THEY CHANGER HUNDREDS TO JUST TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC. HYNDAI HAS SUCH A GOOD REPUTATION, SOMETHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH SAFETY LIKE THIS SHOULD BE COVERED FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS, HARD TO BELIEVE AFTER 4 YEARS SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. COSTS $100 JUST FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, ON TOP OF ABOUT $400 FOR REPAIR ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE SOURCES WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS EXPERIENCES WHERE THE VEHICLE WONT START. I WENT TO GET GAS ONE MORNING AND AFTER I PUMPED THE GAS AND GOT IN TO DRIVE OFF MY CAR WOULDN'T START. I WAITED FOR AAA AND WHILE WAITING TRIED TURNING OVER THE KEY AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. LIKE I SAID THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT TEN TO TWELVE OR MORE TIMES. I RECENTLY CHANGED THE BATTERY BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING REGARDING THIS COMPLAINT AS I SEE IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN COMPLAINED ABOUT NUMEROUS TIMES.

FRONT LEFT COIL SPRING BROKE AFTER GOING OVER A POTHOLE AT VERY LOW SPEED (ABOUT 15MPH). I'VE RECENTLY LEARNED THAT MANY 2011 ELANTRAS IN SALT BELT STATES/AREAS HAD A RECALL ON FRONT COIL SPRINGS AFTER SIMILAR ISSUES. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS IN MY YEAR MAKE/MODEL (2012 ELANTRA, ALSO IN A SALT BELT STATE) HAS THE SAME ISSUE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR A RECALL.

AT APPROX. 70,000 MILES: SRS AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES INTERMITTENTLY, THEN PROGRESSIVELY STEADY ILLUMINATION WHILE DRIVING. AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AFTER TIGHT RIGHT-HAND TURNS, AT ANY SPEED, THEN MAY TURN OFF AGAIN WHEN COMPLETING A LEFT-HAND TURN. OVER TIME, LIGHT STAYS ON FOR MOST OF DRIVING TIME. BROUGHT INTO DEALERSHIP; DIAGNOSTICS PERFORMED. THROWING DTC CODE B148100 DRIVER AIRBAG RESISTANCE TOO HIGH 2ND STAGE. TECHNICIAN SAID CAR NEEDS REPLACEMENT OF BOTH CLOCK SPRING AND DRIVER AIRBAG. NO COVERAGE ON WARRANTY (2ND OWNER PLUS FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRES AT 60K MILES). AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF COLLISION

2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PLACED IN NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO START IT. ACCORDING WITH NUMEROUS REVIEWS THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE INHIBITOR SWITCH (RANGE SWITCH).

AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON IN 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA, TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC DONE WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CLOCK SPRING (IN THE STEERING COLUMN) WAS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. WAS TOLD IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY PERIOD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PLACED IN NEUTRAL TO START THE VEHICLE. THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD NOT HELP THE VEHICLE START AND HAD TO BE PUSHED IN ORDER TO START. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE DETAILS OF THE REPAIR COULD NOT BE PROVIDED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

BIG PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT COIL SPRING. MINE BROKE AND PUNCTURED THE NEW TIRE I HAD INSTALLED THIS YEAR. THE SPRING BROKE IN HALF. I WAS GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP LEAVING A BASEBALL STADIUM WHEN ALL THIS OCCURRED.

VEHICLE WONT START AT TIMES. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND HYUNDAI CHANGED THE INHIBITOR SWITCH. RECENTLY STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM OF IT NOT STARTING. DEALER SHOWED ME WHERE THE RESET IS SO I WAS ABLE TO START IT AND BRING IT TO THE DEALER. AGAIN THEY CHANGED THE INHIBITOR SWITCH. I WAS TOLD THEY CHANGED THE DESIGN OF THE SWITCH AND HOPEFULLY I WON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM AGAIN. HYUNDAI PAID FOR THE PART BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR LABOR. I'M SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAD THIS PROBLEM.

VEHICLE STATIONARY. SHIFTER IN "PARK". ATTEMPTED TO START VEHICLE. TURNED KEY IN IGNITION - CAR DID NOT START. RADIO, LIGHTS, AIR AND ALL OTHER PERIPHERALS STARTED AND FUNCTIONED APPROPRIATELY. TRIED TO "JUMP" VEHICLE USING TWO DIFFERENT JUMPER-CABLE SETS. HAD BATTERY TESTED - OEM BATTERY, 4 YEARS OLD, RATED AT 550 AND FUNCTIONING AT 542 - GOOD BATTERY, NO NEED FOR REPLACEMENT. POPPED OUT THE SHIFT LOCK INSERT. INSERTED FLAT HEAD SCREWDRIVER TO DEPRESS THE BUTTON. PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL. PUT KEY IN IGNITION, TURNED TO START - CAR STARTED AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG. DROVE FOR ABOUT 30 MINTUTES. STOPPED AT A STORE. ATTEMPTED TO START VEHICLE AS NORMAL - VEHICLE STARTED FINE. PARKED VEHICLE IN DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. ATTEMPTED TO START VEHICLE TO GO TO WORK - VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. REPEATED THE SAME PROCESS FROM THE PREVIOUS TIME IT WOULDN'T START AND WAS SUCESSFUL. HAVE A VIDEO SHOWING THE SHIFTER GOING THROUGH ALL GEARS - WHEN PUT INTO "PARK" THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER COMPLETELY GO OUT AND THEN EVENTUALLY FLICKER BACK ON. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE THE VIDEO, AS A PICTURE WOULD NOT SHOW THE ISSUE.

CAR WONT START WHEN YOU TRY TO TURN IT OVER. ALL LIGHTS WORK EVEN AIR WILL BLOW BUT WONT START

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS STUCK ON. WILL BE TAKING TO A DEALER HOWEVER HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM ONLINE. THE LIGHT WILL COME ON AS USUAL WHEN STARTING, GO OFF AFTER 6 SECONDS THEN STAY ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING OR GO OFF AND ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER MONTHS AND A WEIGHT SENSOR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WAS REPLACED. THE REMEDY DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS TO CHECK WITH THE MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE A REPAIR SOLUTION FROM THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

MY ELANTRA LIMITED 2012 UNLOCK MY DOORS OR START THE CAR UNLESS I PUT THE KEY UP TO THE START BUTTON. I DON'T HAVEAN IGNITION MY CAR ONLY STARTS WITH A PUSH BUTTON,BOTH KEY FABS WON'T WORK, I'VE RESEARCHED AND ALOT IF CUSTOMER HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES SOMEONE MENTIONED THE HAD RANGE SHAFT OR SOMETHING REPLACE AND IT WORKS BUT MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT A WEEK AGO FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES WHILE AT A DRIVE-THRU WINDOW AND WENT OFF. DRIVING DOWN A 45 MPH ROAD THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND WENT OFF JUST AS QUICKLY. CALLED THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT. LIGHT CONTINUED TO GO ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN AND EVEN CAME ON WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T "DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEM SO THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS CAUSING THE LIGHT TO GO ON AND OFF. HAS BEEN DOING IT EVERYDAY SINCE I LEFT THE DEALER. I AM WAITING ON A LOANER FROM THEM SO THEY CAN KEEP THE CAR FOR LONGER THAN A COUPLE OF HOURS. HAVE TO SAY I DON'T FEEL REAL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOING ON AND OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW FROM A HYUNDAI DEALER IN MARCH 2012 PROBLEM 1. SINCE EARLY ON, THE CAR ALWAYS EXHIBITED A SERIOUS INSTABILITY IN THE REAR END. SPECIFICALLY SPEAKING, WHEN DRIVING ON ANY SMALL BUMP FOUND ON ANY NORMAL ROAD, THE CAR REAR SUSPENSION WILL NOT ABSORBE THE BUMP LIKE ANY NORMAL CAR WOULD BUT INSTEAD SEVERELY JUMPS AND THEN 'DARTS OR SHIFTS' LATERALLY. EVEN IN DRY PAVEMENT. HAVING LIVED IN THE NE AND ILLINOIS NOW, I AM A VERY EXPERIENCED DRIVING IN SNOWY CONDITIONS. DRIVING THIS CAR IN EVEN 1/2" OF SNOW IS DOWNRIGHT TERRIFYING. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REAR END CONTROL AND TOTAL INSTABILITY NO MATTER HOW CAREFUL YOU DRIVE. I HAVE FOUND MYSELF NOT KNOWING IF I WAS GOING TO MAKE HOME WITHOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE PAST TWO WINTERS I HAD TO USE OTHER VEHICLE EVEN IF THE WEATHER FORECAST CALL FOR SNOWN FLURRIES. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A CAR SO UNSTABLE IN MY 45 YEARS OF DRIVING. BY THE WAY, LOADING UP THE CAR WITH PASSENGERS OR ADDITIONAL WEIGHT HAS ZERO IMPACT REDUCING THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM 2 THE REAR TIRES WEAR OUT VERY FAST. EVEN THOUGH I ROTATE THEM EVEN 5K MILES, THEY WEAR SO BADLY THAT THEY PRODUCE A LOUD ROAD NOISE FROM UNEVEN WEAR. I AM ON MY THIRD SET OF TIRES AND THESE NEED REPLACEMENT NOW. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO TO HYUNDAI, THEY CHECKED ALIGNMENT AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND THE PROBLEM MUST BE THE TIRES. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I LEARNED THESE CARS HAVE A SOLID , NON-ADJUSTABLE REAR END WITH A FIXED TOE-IN AND CAMBER. I AM CERTAIN THAT BOTH PROBLEMS I LISTED ARE CAUSED BY HYUNDAI'S REAR END DESIGN. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND HYUNDAI REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. IT IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE ACCIDENTS WITH LOSS OF LIFE WILL OCCUR. WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO THIS COMING WINTER? .A NEIGHBOR WITH A 2013 ELANTRA COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME INSTABILITY.

INTERMITTENTLY, MY CAR DOES NOT START. I TURN THE KEY AND NOTHING HAPPENS. I TRY IT AGAIN. NOTHING. I TRY IT AGAIN AND IT STARTS. IT HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS SITTING OVERNIGHT IN MY GARAGE. IT HAPPENED AFTER I WAS IN A STORE FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES. IT HAPPENED AFTER I WAS IN ANOTHER LOCATION FOR 2 HOURS. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN IT HAPPENED AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG BECAUSE IT DIDN'T DO IT FOR THEM. (OF COURSE, IT DIDN'T!) THEN, AFTER ANOTHER COUPLE OF TIMES OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN, I RESEARCHED AND FOUND IT WAS PROBABLY SOME KIND OF SWITCH. I TOLD THAT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED SOMETHING WHICH SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. NOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR FOR FEAR I WILL BE STRANDED SOMEWHERE UNSAFE ONE DAY.

PROBLEM : ESC LIGHT FLASHES WHILE DRIVING, SOME TIME MAKES RUMBLING NOISE , POWER LOSS, FEEL LIKE CAR IN NEUTRAL, STEERING FELT LOCK, SUDDEN BREAK AND CREATES UNSAFE CONDITION. NOT ALL SYMPTOMS COME UP SAME TIME BUT ONE OF THEM WHILE LIGHT FLASHING. DETAILS : 1. FIRST TIME HAPPENED IN JUNE/JULY 2015 CONTACTED DEALER. SINCE DEALER CANNOT REPLICATE THEY DID TEST DRIVE AND FELT EVERYTHING NORMAL. I DROVE 1 YEAR SCARRED BUT ISSUE DIDN'T OCCURRED 2. FEW WEEKS AGO THIS PROBLEM RESURFACED DEALER REPEATED SAME STORY BUT WANTED TO DRIVE WITH ME WHICH IS PENDING. WHILE NORMAL DRIVING IT HAPPENED AND THIS TIME IT WAS RECORDED ON MY CELLPHONE TO SHOW AS PROOF BECAUSE IN TEST DRIVE IT MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN. I FEEL COMPANY AND DEALER NOT WORKING CLOSELY AND SOMEONE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ISSUE OF SAFETY. I REQUEST TO LOOK INTO THIS REACHING OUT TO COMPANY AND ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I CANNOT UPLOAD VIDEO LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED. JUST LOADING A PICTURE.

DASHBOARD AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. THE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A FEW MINUTES, TURNS OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, AND APPEARS TO HAPPEN AT RANDOM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED ISSUES STARTING SPORADICALLY. IN ADDITION, ALMOST ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL EXCEPT THE PARKING INDICATOR. IT TOOK NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS FOR THE VEHICLE TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE COIL BROKE AND PUNCTURED THE TIRE CAUSING A BLOW OUT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A HIGHWAY. TERRIFIED BECAUSE THE THE SMOKE AND THE INABILITY TO STEER THE CAR I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET ACROSS THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED MY 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, AND HAVE ALWAYS SERVICED MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE COIL SPRING BROKE ON MAY 27TH AND THE DEALERSHIP IS HAVING DIFFICULTY LOCATING A REPLACEMENT FOR THE COIL SPRING. I AM TOLD THAT THEY COULD POSSIBLY HAVE ONE BY JUNE 8TH. THIS FACT ALONE TELLS ME THAT MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. I AM INSISTING THAT THEY REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL BECAUSE I AM CERTAIN THAT IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THAT COIL ALSO BREAKS. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT HYUNDAI WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THE SECOND COIL SPRING AS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND STARTED A GOOD FAITH REQUEST AND THEY ARE REVIEWING TO SEE IF THEY WILL COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THE PASSENGER SIDE. HYUNDAI HAD A COIL SPRING RECALL ON 2012 ELANTRA VEHICLES FOR ALL CARS PRODUCED PRIOR TO 3/31/2011. MY CAR WAS PRODUCED ON 6/9/2011 JUST MISSING THE RECALL CUT OFF DATE. OBVIOUSLY GIVEN WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR THEY NEED TO EXTEND THAT CUT OFF DATE. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT MY BLOW OUT DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MY DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN VERY GOOD DURING THIS ORDEAL AND HAS PROVIDED ME WITH A LOANER CAR.

HAVE A TICKING SOUND IN ENGINE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WAS GOING TO CHARGE ME $62.00 TO LOOK AT IT. TOOK AROUND 45 MINS. SERVICE PERSON CAME AND TOLD ME IT SOUNDED LIKE A PISTON SLAP . WITH FURTHER LOOK AT THE ENGINE THEY SAID I NEED A NEW ENGINE. SAY WHAT! WILL I LOOKED ON LINE AND YOUTUBE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. WENT TO A WEB SIGHT ABOUT COMPLAINTS FOUND A LOT OF THEM ABOUT TICKING . CALLED AND ASKED IF IT WAS A SHORT, LONG OR CREAT ENGINE. TO ME THE SHORT BLOCK NEED REPLACED. CALLED NEXT DAY AND TOLD ME THAT ENGINE WAS ON HOLD. HYUNDAI WANTED THEM TO TAKE PICTURES AND SEND THEM TO CORPORATE OFFICE. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THEY FIND OUT WHAT HYUNDAI WANTS TO DO. HAVE READ ONLINE LINE THAT HYUNDAI KNOWS ABOUT THE BAD ENGINES AND DO NOT WANT TO REPLACE THEM. YOU GET NOTHING BUT HASSLE FROM THEM ABOUT REPLACING THE ENGINE. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT'S NOT THERE FAULT. BUT I FEEL THAT THEY ARE ALSO. THEY SOLD ME A CAR WITH A BAD ENGINE. I COULD HAVE HAD A FROZEN ENGINE WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESS WAY AND GOT INTO A BAD ACCIDENT. GOING TO CALL AGAIN ON FRIDAY TO SEE IF ANYTHING HAS BEEN DONE. TOOK IT IN ON MONDAY. DEALERSHIP TO ME NOT TO CALL THEM AGAIN. THAT THEY WILL CALL ME. ALL I WANT IS THE ENGINE REPLACED SO I HAVE A CAR.

MY VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED BY NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V871000. THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER PERFORMED CAMPAIGN # 133 ON 04/14/16, AT WHICH TIME A Y YAW RATE SENSOR REP/HECU UPD WAS (CORRECTED). ON THAT DATE, THE ODOMETER READING WAS: 53,768. PRIOR TO HAVING THIS RE-CALIBRATION I HAD EXPERIENCED NO NOTICEABLE ISSUES REGARDING THE BRAKING SYSTEM. AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED BY THE DEALER, ON SIX (X6) SEPARATE OCCASIONS, ONE OF THE BAKES HAS INDEPENDENTLY LOCKED UP UPON TRANSITIONING FROM SMOOTH TO ROUGH SURFACES, GOING OVER A MANHOLE AND/OR DISSIMILAR ROAD MATERIALS (SUCH AS BLACKTOP TO CEMENT BRIDGE, OR ONTO A SERRATED METAL BRIDGE MATERIAL). THIS HAS BEEN COMPLETELY RANDOM IN OCCURRENCE, ON THE HIGHWAY OR TYPICAL CITY STREET, BUT DOES SEEM TO BE RELATED TO BRAKING OR SLOWING DOWN IN GENERAL AS THAT IS WHEN IT IS NOTICED, EXCEPT THAT ONE WHEEL BRAKE LOCKS - CAUSING THE US (THE DRIVERS) TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION AS THE CAR SUDDENLY WILL VEER TO ONE DIRECTION OR ANOTHER UNEXPECTEDLY INSTEAD OF THE INTENDED SLOW-DOWN. RATHER THAN RECTIFY THE PROBLEM THE RECALL WAS MEANT TO RESOLVE (THAT WE HAD NOT EVEN SEEN SYMPTOMS OF), NOW THE "SUPPOSED REPAIR - HYUNDAI CAMPAIGN 137," SEEMS TO HAVE ACTUALLY REPRODUCED THE SYMPTOMS IN OUR VEHICLE, NOW MAKING US FEEL UNSAFE AND UNEASY DRIVING IT AS WE HAVE NEARLY AVOIDED COLLISIONS ON A FEW OCCASIONS DUE TO THE NEW BRAKE LOCK-UP THAT HAS STARTED SINCE RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED ON 04/14/16, WHICH WAS MEANT TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE, NOT CREATE IT.

DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE 2012 ELANTRA SUSPENSION/REAR END, THE REAR WHEEL TIRES ARE WORN OUT WELL BEFORE EXPECTATION. PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND AFTER 20K MILES DISCOVERED SIGNIFICANT WEAR ON THE REAR TIRES...ESPECIALLY THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. THOUGHT IT WAS A TIRE PROBLEM. REPLACED ALL TIRES, AND AFTER ONLY 16K MILES THE REAR TIRES AGAIN NEED REPLACEMENT. FRONT TIRES LOOK LIKE NEW. THE TIRES ARE LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD. AGAIN, STILL THOUGHT IT WAS A TIRE PROBLEM. WENT TO TIRE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS NOT THE TIRES BUT THE FACT THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION CANNOT BE ADJUSTED FOR ALIGNMENT. IT IS FIXED BY HYUNDAI AT A -1.50 CAMBER...WHICH APPARENTLY CAUSES THE TIRES TO WARE OUT QUICKLY. I NOW AGREE THAT IT A CAR PROBLEM AND CONTACTED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE REP SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE (WHICH I FIND DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE) AND REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE PUSHING IT BACK ON THE TIRE MANUFACTURER. THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER STATED THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT COULD NOTHING TO RESOLVE IT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW WHICH HYUNDAI IS NOT READY OR WILLING TO ADDRESS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IN PARK, THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE.

OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS MY ELANTRA HAS STALLED IMMEDIATELY UPON STARTING. IT DOESNT MATTER IF THE ENGINE IS HOT OR COLD. JUST FILLED UP WITH GAS OR ANYWHERE IN BETWEEN. THE PROBLEM IS VERY INTERMITTENT. USUALLY IT WOULD THEN START ON THE 2ND OR 3RD TRY BUT HAS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS LEFT ME STRANDED REQUIRING A TOW. THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT UNLESS THEY CAN REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. IVE HAD THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED AND ALL NEW SPARK PLUGS, BUT ITS STILL ACTING UP. I DONT WANT TO KEEP THROWING MONEY AT IT GUESSING WHAT COULD BE WRONG. THIS BEGAN AROUND 10,000 MILES AND IT NOW IS APPROACHING 80,000. ID LIKE FOR HYUNDAI TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM.

THE ODOMETER IS COMPLETELY UNREADABLE. I KNOW THIS SOUNDS STRANGE, THE ONLY TIME I CAN SEE IT COMPLETELY CLEAR IS IN COLD FALL WEATHER IN THE EARLY MORNING. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR QUITE A WHILE. IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY WHEN I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE CLUSTER LIGHTING THAT WOULD FIX IT. THIS IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. WE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW MANY MILES WE HAVE ON IT UNTIL THE WEATHER IS RIGHT FOR VIEWING. I KNOW I HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE ON FORUMS BEFORE. IT SHOULD BE A RECALLED PART.

WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR GETS STUCK BETWEEN 25 AND 40 MPH. IT WONT PROCEED TO THE NEXT GEAR. I HAVE TO LAY OFF THE GAS, LET IT DROP BACK DOWN AND HOPE THAT IT WORKS THE NEXT TIME I ACCELERATE. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS NOT LOW. THE CAR IS IN MOTION WHILE THIS ISSUE HAPPENS.

RE: NHTSA 15V871000 BASED ON THE HYUNDAI SAFETY RECALL, I WENT TO TWO DEALERSHIPS AND STILL HAVE A GLOWING ESC DASH LIGHT AND AN UNRESOLVED SAFETY PROBLEM. EACH DID A FREE "CALIBRATION" OF A "STEERING" SENSOR AND TOLD ME A "YAW" SENSOR WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE FOR OVER $1200. THE NHTSA REMEDY SAID "DEALERS WILL VERIFY THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE ESC SENSORS .... FREE OF CHARGE". PLEASE NOTE "SENSORS" IS PLURAL. SURELY IT WAS NOT THE NHTSA'S INTENTION TO HAVE HYUNDAI OPERATE A "BAIT AND SWITCH" BY DOING A FREE "CALIBRATION" ON ONE SENSOR AND CHARGING OVER $1200 TO REPLACE THE OTHER. MY FAMILY AND I ARE NOW DRIVING A CAR WITH A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS KNOWN TO THE NHTSA AND HYUNDAI BUT IS APPARENTLY NOT COVERED BY A SAFETY RECALL - BASED ON HYUNDAI'S INTERPRETATION OF THE EXISTING RECALL! YOUR HELP IS NEEDED - THANK YOU. *TR

THE ESC SYSTEM DID NOT HELP PREVENT AND MAY HAVE EVEN CAUSED MY CAR ACCIDENT. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A RECALL ON MY YAW-RATE SENSOR, WHICH IS THE KEY COMPONENT TO THE ESC SYSTEM...UPDATED 05-19-16 *BF ON MARCH 2, 2016, HYUNDAI NATIONAL CUSTOMER CARE REFUSED THE CONSUMERS REQUEST TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TESTED IN ITS POST ACCIDENT CONDITION. ON MARCH 26, 2016, SOUTHERN STATES HYUNDAI OF RALEIGH REPLACED THE YAW-RATE SENSOR AND ACKNOWLEDGED THE PART WAS DEFECTIVE. HYUNDAI SENT A LETTER TO THE CONSUMER, STATING THEY DID NOT BELIEVE THE YAW-RATE SENSOR CONTRIBUTED TO THE ACCIDENT. UPDATED 06/13/16.*JB *TR

SUNROOF SHATTERING: WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY IN VIRGINIA ON 3/25/16 I HEARD A CRACK, POP, AND THEN SHATTERING. PIECES OF GLASS COULD BE HEARD SLIDING OVER THE TOP OF THE CAR AND SEEN IN THE BACK WINDOW. NO ITEM WAS SEEN INSIDE OF THE CAR TO SUGGEST AN OUTSIDE OBJECT BREAKING THE GLASS. I DROPPED OFF THE CAR AT THE HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN WHITE FLINT.

OUR 2012 ELANTRA BEGAN MAKING KNOCKING SOUNDS DURING COLD STARTS. THE NOISE WAS FAINTER WHEN THE ENGINE WAS WARM BUT NEVER DISAPPEARED COMPLETELY. THE SOUND BECAME LOUDER WHEN THE WEATHER WAS COLDER. WHEN I ORIGINALLY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, I TOLD THEM THAT I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM MAY HAVE BEEN THE TIMING BELT BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THE 2012 HAD A TIMING CHAIN AND NOT A BELT. WHEN THE NOISE BECAME TOO LOUD, I FINALLY TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK OF THE ENGINE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE CONNECTING ROD BEARING AND A NEW ENGINE WAS NECESSARY. I AM AWARE THAT THE 2011-2013 SONATA WAS RECALLED IN 2015 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THOUGHT THAT THE ELANTRA WAS EXEMPT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 32,389.

TAKATA INFLATORS FIRST DAY I GOT THE CAR, I WAS DRIVING SLOW DUE TO POOR CONDITIONS (SNOW) WHEN I TRIED TO STOP BRAKES MADE A GRINDING NOISE CAR PULLED OFF TO ONE SIDE. I CAME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO SMASHING INTO A SNOW BANK. I ASSUMED THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THE ROAD CONDITIONS. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY, EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE I APPLY THE BREAKS, HEAR THE GRINDING NOISE AAND LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. IM VERY LUCKY AND SURPRISED I HAVENT GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. ITS EXTREMELY SCARY AND I ABSOLUTELY HATE DRIVING THE CAR IN FEAR OF THIS HAPPENING AND CAUSING A CRASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED TO ENGAGE WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH IN RAINY CONDITIONS. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO AN EMBANKMENT. THE STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SUFFERED INJURIES TO THE BACK AND ARMS THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED.

MY 2012 ELANTRA LTD EDITION HAS A KEYLESS ENTRY AND PUSH BUTTON TO START. RECENTLY I AM HAVING PROBLEM TO OPEN THE DOORS OR START THE CARS. SOMETIMES IT STARTS THE ENGINE AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. I AM SURPRISED THIS PROBLEM IS LOT MORE COMMON IN THE FORUM AND IT HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE BY HYUNDAI OR NHTSA. I AM MISSING MY WORK. THIS IS MY SECOND HYUNDAI AND THIS IS IT. NO MORE HYUNDAI FOR ME. I PAID BIG BUCKS FOR IT AND NO ONE CARES. I HAVE LEFT THE MESSAGE TO THE DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING AND THEY HAVE NOT CALLED ME. I HAD OWNED MANY CARS BEFORE AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS.

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON DEALER REPORTS IT IS A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING. I SEE THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE IN THE PAST WITH OTHER HYUNDAI YEARS AND THE DEALER STATES IT IS A PROBLEM THEY FREQUENTLY SEE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V871000 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

THE STEERING STICKS WHEN DRIVING RELATIVELY STRAIGHT, ALL SPEEDS, AND APPLYING SMALL CORRECTIVE MOVEMENT. THE DEALERS CLAIM THAT THIS IS CAUSED AS THE ELECTRIC STEERING ASSIST "IDLES" WHEN THE SENSORS SAY THE CAR IS GOING STRAIGHT, HOWEVER, WE ALL KNOW SMALL CORRECTIONS ARE REQUIRED ON STRAIGHT ROADS. VERY SCARY WHEN YOU HAVE TO MOMENTARILY FIGHT YOUR STEERING TO CORRECT FOR A POTHOLE OR UNEVEN PAVEMENT.

BRAKE LIGHTS STARTED TO FAIL FIRST RIGHT SIDE REAR THEN ALL FAILED INCLUDING THE THIRD LIGHT.

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN NORMAL NON SLICK ROAD CONDITIONS, MY VEHICLES ESC LIGHT BEGAN TO BLINK. UNEXPECTEDLY, AND WITHOUT MY FOOT DEPRESSING THE BRAKES, MY VEHICLE DECELERATED FROM 55MPH TO 20MPH. THE FRONT LEFT TIRE CEASED TO ROTATE AND TORQUE WAS LOST TO THE ENGINE. THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND I IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE ESC SYSTEM AND DROVE HOME. THAT EVENING I RECEIVED THE NOTICE RECALL FOR EXACTLY THE ISSUE I HAD ENCOUNTERED. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TWO DAYS LATER TO SANSONE HYUNDAI WHERE THEY AGREED AFTER READING THE CAR'S COMPUTER THAT THE ESC ISSUE HAD INDEED OCCURRED. THE TECHNICIAN THEN EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THEY "RESET THE COMPUTER AND THIS PROBABLY SHOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN". HE WENT ON TO EXPLAIN THERE IS NO CURRENT SOLUTION, AND I HAVE TO BE PATIENT. I APPRECIATE THE FACT A SOLUTION HAS NOT YET BEEN FOUND BUT, I AM NOW FEARFUL TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I WAS UNBELIEVABLE LUCKY THAT THERE WERE NO DRIVER'S BEHIND ME AND THAT I WAS NEAR THE SHOULDER WHEN THE SYSTEM FAILED. IF THOSE LUCKY CONDITIONS HAD NOT BEEN PRESENT I COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I FEEL I SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROVIDED WITH A LOANER VEHICLE IN THE MEANTIME. I PURCHASED MY HYUNDAI BECAUSE I FELT THEY WERE SAFE, RELIABLE CARS WITH GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. MY CAR ACTUALLY EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE THAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL WHICH ITSELF STATES THAT, "INAPPROPRIATE BRAKE APPLICATION TO ONE OR MORE WHEELS AND/OR REDUCED ENGINE TORQUE CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH". KNOWING THIS, HYUNDAI HAS SENT ME ON WAY IN A VEHICLE WHICH CAN "INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH". I NOW HAVE TO WAIT AND BE GENUINELY SCARED OF THE VEHICLE WHICH I RELY ON. I HAVE PATIENCE TO WAIT FOR A SOLUTION, BUT I NEED A SOLUTION FROM HYUNDAI NOW. NOT WHEN SOMEONE IS ABLE TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE IN THE VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE HAS ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN TWICE NOW -- TODAY AND ABOUT A MONTH AGO. BOTH OCCURRENCES WERE EXACTLY THE SAME. THEY WERE WHILE PARKING IN MY OFFICE'S PARKING LOT AFTER DRIVING 20-30 MINUTES ON THE HIGHWAY. AS SOON AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE IT WAS IF I WAS PRESSING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT I WAS NOT. WHEN I STOPPED AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK THE RPM SHOT ALL THE WAY UP AND ENGINE WAS REVVING AS IF I HAD MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS DID NOT STOP UNTIL I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I THEN RESTART THE CAR AND IT IS NOT HAPPENING. THEN, WITH THE CAR STILL IN PARK, I GENTLY TAP ON THE GAS AND IT STARTS AGAIN. THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE PHYSICALLY STUCK. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER I START THE CAR AND TRY TAPPING ON THE GAS AND CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. I SEE THESE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO OWN UP AND ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND CRASHED INTO SOME BRANCHES. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WAS ALREADY IN THE BRANCHES. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL DRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V871000 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE CONTACT CRASHED THE VEHICLE INTO A POLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED KNEE AND CHEST INJURIES, BUT MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V871000 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

MY CAR ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ME PRESSING ON THE GAS RANDOMLY. SOME DAYS IT DRIVES NORMALLY AND OTHER DAYS I CAN FEEL THE CAR ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. IT WAS SO BAD 2 DAYS AGO THAT WHEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY IT WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT A RED LIGHT. I HAD BY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR WAS REVVING TO 5000 RPMS. I TOOK IT TO HYUNDAI WHO COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM BUT CHARGED ME $250 TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY.

2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA RANDOMLY WILL NOT START. WE REPLACED THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH AND ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN. DOES NOT SEEM TO BE AFFECTED BY WEATHER. IT HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE DEALER TWICE, BUT SINCE IT STARTS WHEN IT IS THERE, THEY SAY THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEREFORE CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I WOULD SAY IN THE YEAR AND A HALF THAT I HAVE HAD THE CAR IT HAS STRANDED ME 4 TIMES AND NOT ON THE FIRST TURN OVER ANOTHER 15. I USUALLY TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND TRY AGAIN. AFTER A COUPLE TRIES IT USUALLY STARTS.

CAR WON'T START. AT FIRST, WE THOUGHT IT'S THE BATTERY SO WE GOT OUR BATTERY JUMP STARTER. BUT IT WASN'T THE CASE. LIGHTS AND ELECTRICAL WORKS BUT THE CAR STARTER WON'T TURN OVER. TOWED IT TO THE DEALER. THE FOLLOWING DAY, WENT TO DEALER TO CHECK IT AND THE CAR STARTED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. DEALER'S MECHANICS STILL HASN'T SEEN IT YET THAT DAY. THERE MIGHT BE SOME LOOSE WIRING OR INHIBITOR SWITCH PROBLEM.

MY CAR HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH STARTING. THE PROBLEM ISN'T ALL THE TIME. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE TRIGGER IS, BUT ONE OR TWICE A WEEK, IT WON'T START. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY, BUT IT'S NOT. I CHANGED IT AND STILL GIVING ME ISSUES. I READ ONLINE AND FOUND THAT IT MIGHT BE THE RANGE SWITCH BECAUSE PEOPLE THAT HAS THIS ISSUE HAD THEIR RANGE SWITCH REPLACED AND NO MORE ISSUE. BEFORE THEY REPLACED THE RANGE SWITCH, THEY RECOMMENDED TO PUT IN "N" POSITION BEFORE START, WHICH I DID AND IT WORKED FOR A WHILE. NOW, I HAVE TO PUT THE E-BRAKES ON BEFORE IT CRANKS. THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, I HAVE ISSUES WITH LOCKING MY CAR. NEITHER THE ELECTRONIC PUSH BUTTON ON THE DOOR NOR REMOTE WORKS. I HAD TO MANUAL LOCK IT WITH THE KEY. BUT THIS ISSUE ISN'T ALL THE TIME EITHER. IT ONLY HAPPENED 6 TIMES SO FAR.

CAR WON'T START UNTIL I DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND HOLD AS I START THE VEHICLE.

CAR JUST WOULD NOT START 2 TIMES IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS WITH NO WARNINGS. I GOT IT JUMPED BOTH TIMES, AND IT WAS OK. I HAD THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTER CHECKED AND THEY WERE ALL OK. I WENT ON A FORUM ABOUT IT AND MANY PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE ON THE 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. MANY PEOPLE WERE SAYING IT WAS THE RANGE SWITCH THAT NEEDS REPLACED. PLEASE RECALL THIS. THANK YOU! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING OVER A BUMP, TAR, OR ROUGH PAVEMENT, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME UNSTABLE AND SWAY VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE AN ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. DUE TO THE FAULTY SUSPENSION SYSTEM, THE TIRES WOULD BECOME WORN AT AN ACCELERATED RATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 750.
