2013 Hyundai Elantra 2 DR FWD

Subframe is rotted. It snapped while driving; braking the control arm in the process. The lives of my children and myself were put at risk. If we had been on a busy road or highway, ourselves and others would have been at serious risk of sever injury and/or possible death. It has not been seen by a service center, incident happened 11/29/2021. The vehicle was inspected by a personal mechanic to find the cause of the malfunction. There were know warning signs before the component failure.

The contact's wife owns a 2013 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, an abnormal clicking noise would emit from the engine without warning. The contact had initially taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who informed him that the clicking noise was a knocking noise that could potentially lead to engine failure. The contact then took the vehicle to a dealer where they acknowledged that metal shavings had entered the engine which caused the knocking noise. He was then informed that the vehicle was out of warranty and there were no recalls on the vehicle. The manufacturer was then notified of the failure. An email was sent to the manufacturer to reconsider placing the vehicle under warranty however, the contact had not received a response. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 101,000.

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

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

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

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 20 - 30 mph, her vehicle crashed into another vehicle's front and rear passenger doors when the other driver ran a red light. No air bags deploy upon impact. The contact and her daughter, who was a passenger sustained bruising to their knees, and the contact's head jerked forward and back from the impact. The contact received medical attention on the scene and was later admitted to the hospital, while her daughter went to urgent care. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard, where it remained. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 36,000.

Driver side airbag dash light goes on and off (mostly on). No accident or previous deployment of the airbag. Also, while under warranty the tail light and break light wiring was replaced as they would burn out approx. every 6 months. One light after another: tail light, break light, blinker, etc. It's happening again... seems to be a wiring or component issue. Have to keep bulbs in the car with me at all times.

THE STEERING WHEEL HAS WEIRD NOICES THAT JERKS IN THE HIGH WAY. IT IS SCARY KEEPING CONTROL OF LANES.

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

The HYUNDAI Genuine OEM Flexible Steering Couple 56315-2K000FFF has failed. The steering wheel clicks and has a clunking feel and is getting more pronounced. There is a manufacturing design flaw in the rubber compound causing it to disintegrate within the unit. For some reason, all Hyundai Elantra models using this coupler are covered under a manufacturers special warranty with the exception of the Coupe Models that they made for only 2 years.

Fuse system car completely shut off fuse blowing causes different things to stop working I almost got in a accident cause the fuse that ran the car blowed car stop in middle of the highway I have a Friend with same type car fuse blows out even when it's not broken

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated she was unable to open the trunk manually or with the key. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the tailgate latch to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired but was pending repairs. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,300. The VIN was not available.

At approximately 35,000 to 45,000 miles my car started stopping violently on its own. It would jerk violently,make loud grinding and squealing noises and stop randomly on its own free will. This started happening repeatedly. Then after it would happen the car would not go when pressing the gas pedal. It would take quite a while before the car would get momentum back. This became very dangerous to myself and my kids. I purchased this car brand new. I got rid of it by trading it in at 78,000 miles. I contacted Hyundai and tried to resolve the issue and they were no help whatsoever.

There was a recall on previous Hyundai models for this same issue. The HYUNDAI Genuine OEM Flexible Steering Couple 56315-2K000FFF. I began to notice a slight sound a year ago, & it got worse. This is a KNOWN issue, yet Hyundai is saying its not a recall. This is an $8.00 part but in a spot that will cost $300+ in labor. This is a manufacture design flaw that should have never happened. Driving down the road the wheel is not stable.

1. There is an electrical issue with the power steering. 2. This poses a HUGE safety risk, as the power steering could completely give out and we could lose control of the vehicle. 3. A local mechanic we use confirmed this. 4. No warning lights came on. We had started to hear a "clunking" or "knocking" sound when turning the wheel so took it in to get inspected.

There was a recall on previous Hyundai models for this same issue. The HYUNDAI Genuine OEM Flexible Steering Couple 56315-2K000FFF. Has failed some time ago and we had no idea it was this dangerous until today. The steering wheel would click and has done so for a long time over 2 years and we noticed it getting much worse so we looked up videos and parts to see what it could be. This is a manufacture design flaw that should have never happened. Driving down the road the wheel is not stable and bumps or thumps and is also very distracting while driving. The biggest concern is that it makes you think that the steering is going to fail and you will crash. If Hyundai did this to make people come in for a repair to just get money at the expense of fearful customers this is a corporate wrong that needs to be corrected and force them to repair all these at no cost for the life of the car and redesign these so this never happens again.

The 2013 Hyundai Elantra's EPS light locks my steering wheel mid driving. The traction control light also comes on simultaneously, causing me to be unable to steer at an array of speeds.

Airbag warning light illuminated for months and will not turn off. Every once in a while it randomly goes away but then comes back on soon after. This is a safety issue if the airbag is not functioning properly and this safety system defect needs to be recalled and fixed for free. Also, I have replaced my brake lights 3 times in the last few years but as soon as I do a different tail/brake light goes out. What seems to be an electrical issue is also a hazard and safety issue if my brake lights cannot illuminate indicating braking.

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

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the airbag warning light illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 134,000.

The steering system is clunking both at rest and while in motion. The dealer diagnosed the problem as the steering coupler. This part is the subject of a recall in other similar models but for some reason the GT model is excluded, even though it is an identical part. The problem is getting progressively worse while Hyundai is refusing to help. The dealer service writer was at a loss to explain why my car is not included in the recall. First reported to Hyundai in January 2021 at about 90,000 miles.

My airbag light on dashboard is remaining on dashboard and vehicle check in progress is reported on my radio display information when i begin to start driving my car for past several weeks i have reset light as informed but does not correct the problem. i have had steering wheel bracket replaced and never have had a problem before now. I am a single mother of two and i rely on my airbags incase of accident for me an my family. How do i resolve this issue?

I am having trouble with the exterior lights on my vehicle. That includes brake lights, tail lights, head lights, turn signals (front and rear). I am constantly replacing them as one or several are always out. My safety and/or the safety of others are put at risk because of no brake lights, someone may rear end me, or having difficulty seeing in front of me at night when head lights fail. I've taken my vehicle to several different locations to have my bulbs changed, and I've also changed a few myself. There is no way to know when a brake light is out, unless I'm getting an oil change, as I did today, and had to pay to have two more bulbs replaced, and thankfully he was kind enough to charge the 3rd at no cost. I've also been pulled over to let me know my bulbs weren't working, or having random people in traffic let me know.

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

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

The airbag light on my hyundai elantra has been turning on for a couple of minutes when i start the vehicle and then will turn off. After a few more minutes it will happen again as if there is a malfunction with the airbags and the computer is trying to trouble shoot the problem but still finding an error. I would like a follow up to insure that if someone were to hit my vehicle that the airbags would deploy properly.

After starting car i tried to put the driver left side seatbelt on. It seemed to be stuck and would not budge after trying to pull over me. I noticed other people who owned Hyundai cars same year also had the same trouble. When I called the dealership they gave me a quote of $500. Not only does is this a safety hazard but fraudulent as well. Hyundai Corporation sent me a letter stating it was not a lemon. I never said it was. But it is defective and should be recalled!

I have an 8 year old 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT. For the past month I have had several incidences where the accelerator to the car does not work. This has occurred getting on the freeway, going up hills, attempting to "go" when stopped at a red light, etc. The accelerator virtually does not work even though my foot is pressed on the gas pedal to the floor board. There are not safety warnings on the dashboard to warn me of this malfunction. The check engine light has come on and off but not consistent with these episodes. I have taken the car to the Hyundai dealer for service and they have been unable to find the problem telling me the codes are all ok and that the technician drove the car several miles and could not replicate the problem. I have found several blogs and posts with the exact same problem I have been having. I cannot drive my car for fear of it not accelerating as I get onto the freeway with the cars honking at me as I have had to manually move my car out of oncoming traffic. I told the dealer when I took it in today not to give it back until they tell me what the problem is. I can't even trade it in knowing it is unsafe to drive due to the "mysterious" accelerator problem. The dealer states the problem could be due to many reasons but it will be cost prohibitive to attempt to just go through a list in an attempt to find the problem. I know there is no recall on this issue but it is a serious safety hazard. I don't know what to do.

Air bag lights has been on for quite some time. Reason: Unknown Engine light is on: Diagnose something dealing with taking on too much fuel Steering wheel: clicking every time I hit a bump or turn the wheel

After the completion of my work shift, I return to my vehicle and discovered a fire has taken place. Lucky, the fire didn't get out of control and wasn't active at the time. The passenger seat was completely burnt including the seat covers and the items in the seat. The items in the seat included: Steak & shake leftover trash, and a perfume bottle. This fire also damaged a door dash bag that I had in the back passenger seat. Not to mention, the impact of the fire that created black duct all over the vehicle windshields, radio, seats, dashboard etc... No police report, nor fire report has been reported at this given time.

The car experienced (1) poor acceleration, (2) check engine light come on, (3) engine stalling, (4) Tachometer drops to zero. It was first found the MAP sensor was faulty. After the sensor was replaced, the car ran but stalled again intermittently. It was found the problem was caused by crank shaft position sensor (fault code P0335). After the senor was replaced about three weeks ago, the car has been running fine.

I have only had this car for three months. Two weeks ago the Air Bag light OFF kept appearing while driving. Then 3 days ago the driver side seat belt locked. It will NOT release. I have read a lot of forums from many others with the same problem from Hyundai cars. The dealership charges 500-1500$ just to fix 1 seatbelt. Its a safety problem as well as fraud.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated while driving 55 mph, the traction control warning light illuminated and the vehicle decelerated. The vehicle was making an abnormal sound. The contact switched to ECON mode and the vehicle operated as designed. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer nor an independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The local dealer was made aware of the failure and the contact was awaiting a callback from the dealer. The contact researched the failure online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V061000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the Vin was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 44,000.

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

MY STEERING WHEEL IS MAKING A CLANKING NOISE WHEN YOU TURN IT AND WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP OR GO DOWN A MOUNTAIN IT DOES IT LOUDER. IM JUST SCARED IT WILL BREAK AND THEN WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, CAR STEERING BECAME HARD AND I WAS UNABLE TO TURN. DUE TO STEERING ISSUE I COULDN’T KEEP CAR IN MY LANE AND I WAS ABOUT TO CRASH INTO OTHER CARS. AFTER PULLING CAR ON THE SIDE WITH EXTREME FORCE ON STEERING. AND CHECKING TIRES PRESSURE, IT WAS NORMAL. UNDER THE HOOD ALL FLUIDS AND OIL WERE NORMAL. COULDN’T FIND POWER STEERING FLUID TANK. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE FOUND OUT IT ONLY HAS ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SO NO STEERING FLUID AND MANY HYUNDAI CAR HAS/HAD SAME ISSUE. IN FACT HYUNDAI HAS RECALLED CARS UPTO 2011 FOR THIS ISSUE. EVEN HIGHWAY PETROL SERVICE OFFICER SAID HIS 2012 ELANTRA HAD SAME ISSUE. FYI EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA, IT WAS PURCHASED AROUND APR 2012, SO IT IS EARLY 2012 BUILT WITH POSSIBLY 2011 COMPONENTS.

CERTAIN STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS -- INCLUDING THE VOLUME CONTROLS AND BLUETOOTH PHONE CONTROLS -- STOPPED WORKING. A FEW MONTHS LATER, MORE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS -- SUCH AS OTHER AUDIO AND MEDIA CONTROLS -- STOPPED WORKING. A YEAR LATER, THE ABILITY TO CHANGE THE STEERING TENSION, FROM COMFORT TO NORMAL TO SPORT, STOPPED WORKING. WITHIN THE PAST YEAR, THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL HAVE STOPPED WORKING, AND THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON CONTINUOUSLY. ALTHOUGH HYUNDAI HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR CERTAIN 2011-2014 ELANTRA VEHICLES, AND MY VEHICLE MEETS THAT YEAR RANGE AND MODEL, THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT COVER REPLACING THE AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY BECAUSE MY VIN DOES NOT MATCH THEIR CRITERIA. AS SUCH, THE DEALERSHIP HAS QUOTED $480 TO FIX MY VEHICLE'S AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY. IF MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCES THE SAME AIRBAG SAFETY ISSUES THAT COVERED VEHICLES HAVE EXPERIENCED AND WHICH PROMPTED THE RECALL, MY VEHICLE ALSO SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED CLOCK SPRING WARRANTY.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENT. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY WANT $185 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. SHOULDN'T AIRBAGS AND SAFETY BE COVERED BY THE DEALER IF NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED? I AM DRIVING WITHOUT AN AIRBAG RIGHT NOW DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN. THE AIRBAG LIGHT JUST APPEARED ABOUT A WEEK AGO.

MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR IT WOULDN'T START, BUT IT BEGAN MAKING THIS KNOCKING NOISE. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THIS, BUT IT WAS EXTREMELY EMBARRASSING AND THE ONLY THING I COULD THINK OF WAS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. AND THAT'S WHEN I HEARD THE NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE.

AIR BAG SENSOR JUST WENT ON FIR NO REASON. TOLD STEERING WHEEL WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED AND COST WOULD BE CLOSE TO $400 FOR ENTIRE JOB. THIS SEEMS LIKE A DEFECT TO ME AS NEVER HAD ANY VEHICLES WITH THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS A BANGING AND RUBBING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN WHILE TURNING IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WERNER HYUNDAI (252 CAPITAL CIR SW, TALLAHASSEE, FL 32304) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE THE LICENSE PLATE BULBS IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE LICENSE PLATE BULB HOUSING, AS WELL AS THE OUTER TAIL LAMP HOUSINGS, SHOWED EVIDENCE OF THE INTERNAL PLASTICS MELTING. IT APPEARS THAT THE HEAT FROM THE LAMPS WAS ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE HOUSINGS AND INTERNAL LENSE PLASTICS TO HEAT BEYOND THE GLASS TRANSITION TEMPERATURE OF THE PLASTICS UTILIZED BY HYUNDAI. BOTH OUTER TAIL LAMP HOUSINGS AND LICENSE PLATE BULB HOUSES WERE REPLACED DUE TO THE DAMAGED. THE ORIGINAL BULBS WERE ALL CHECKED TO ENSURE THEY WERE CORRECT PER THE VEHICLE MANUAL, WHICH THEY WERE.

MY CAR WAS REPAIRED FOR NOISE IN ENGINE A YEAR AND HALF LATER MAKING SAME NOISE WHY IS THAT? THE COMPUTER WAS UPDATED WHEN I GOT THE RECALL ON IT NOW I HAVE NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME SOUND OF ENGINE

SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR IN 2013, WE HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE PARKING LIGHTS, AND SOMETIMES HEADLIGHTS, COMING BACK ON AFTER BEING OFF FOR SEVERAL HOURS OR WE WAKE UP TO HAVING A DEAD BATTERY. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER AND OVER. IN 2013 I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED FOR SAME PROBLEM AND/OR DEAD BATTERY. NEVER HAPPENED AT DEALERSHIP. OUR SECURITY CAMERA HAS CAUGHT IT POPPING ON, OR LIKE YESTERDAY, OUT NEIGHBOR CALLED US (AGAIN) TO TELL US LIGHTS WERE ON. THIS IS WITH THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH ALL THE WAY OFF. WE HAVE TRIED TO FIGURE IT OUT BUT CAN NOT. I DID REPORT AGAIN TO HYUNDAI THIS PAST FEBRUARY, MARCH, APRIL 2021. AGAIN, THE CAR WAS PARKED AND OFF EVERY SINGLE TIME WITH LIGHTS CONFIRMED OFF TO ONLY COME ON LATER WITH CAR OFF AND STILL LOCKED. IT HAS TO HAVE KEY IN IT TO START.

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

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

CLIPPING/POPPING WHILE TURNING STEERING COLUMN. FIX NOT COVERED BY DEALER AND IS KNOWN PROBLEM. INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS CARS WITH THIS ISSUE BACK TO AT LEAST 2015. TO REPAIR AT MECHANIC/DEALER IS APPROX $400. WITH IT FIX CONCERNED ABOUT WEAR AND DECREASE IN STEERING ABILITY.

113,000-114,000 MILES ON CAR. STARTED MAKING A TICKING NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE MOTOR. SOUNDED LIKE LIFTERS OR A HARD KNOCKING. PARKED AS SOON AS IT STARTED IT AND TOWED IT TO A SHOP. THEY SAID THE TICKING SOUND WAS MORE THAN LIKELY FROM THE PISTON ASSEMBLY. THEY CALLED IT A PISTON SLAP. HOWEVER UPON TAKING THE VALVE COVERS OFF THEY FOUND THE TIMING CHAIN WAS SLAPPING AROUND, BENT VALVES AND A BAD PISTON. OUR DAUGHTER DONE ALL OF HER OIL CHANGES REGULARLY AND DIDN'T HOTROD THE VEHICLE. SHE WAS ALSO GOING SLOW UP OUR DRIVEWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED. NO NOISE PRIOR TO THIS AT ALL.

IM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WHICH I JUST TOOK IN TO LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER FOR OIL CHANGE AND TO ALSO SEE ABOUT GETTING AIRBAG MALFUNCTION WARNING LIGHT CHECKED OUT...THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NO RECALL ISSUED ON THIS CAR......HOW CAN THAT BE WITH SOMETHING AS DANGEROUS AS THAT?

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

HYUNDAI HAS A KNOWN FACTORY DEFECTIVE MOTOR FOR MY MODEL OF CAR. IT IS PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT CALLED THE ENGINE COLD ENGINE DEFECTIVE MOTOR CASE. MY MODEL AND LOCATION MAKES ME ELIGIBLE FOR A NEW MOTOR. HYUNDAI IS DENYING ME A NEW MOTOR BASED ON A REBUILT TITLE. MY CAR WAS REAR-ENDED AND THE BODY WAS REBUILT. THE ENGINE WAS NOT AFFECTED BY THE ACCIDENT. MY ENGINE IS KNOCKING AND WILL SEIZE UP AND QUIT ANYTIME IF MY MOTOR IS NOT REPLACED, WHICH HYUNDAI IS REFUSING TO DO. THEY ARE KNOWINGLY SENDING ME DOWN THE ROAD WITH A FACTORY DEFECTIVE MOTOR THAT COULD POTENTIALLY SEIZE UP ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS MOTOR SHOULD BE RECALLED BY HYUNDAI SO THAT ALL OF US EFFECTED ARE ABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY.

STEERING BUSHING UNDER DASH, CAUSING STEERING ISSUES.

WHEN BRAKING THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMED "SOFT" AND AFTER ABOUT 40 MILES OF DRIVING IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I HAD REACHED HOME BY THEN. THERE WERE DROPS OF FLUID ON THE PAVEMENT AFTER I BACKED IN AND PARKED.I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER AND INSPECTION REVEALED THAT NOT ONLY BOTH BRAKE LINES HAD RUSTED THROUGH, BUT, THE FUEL LINES HAD ALSO RUSTED THROUGH AND WERE LEAKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS A LOUD TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WOODHOUSE HYUNDAI OF OMAHA (8410 S 145TH ST, OMAHA, NE 68138) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE SHORT BLOCK NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OVER 100,000 MILES AND THEREFORE NO ASSISTANCE WOULD BE PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 133,000.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT TURNED ON A FEW MONTHS AGO. AT FIRST, IT WAS WHEN I WAS ONLY TURNING MY STEERING WHEEL OR WHEN I WAS IN PARK. NOW, IT'S ALWAYS ON. I HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE SO OFTEN AND FOR IT TO BE SUCH A COMMON ISSUE AND NOT RECALLED IS VERY DISAPPOINTING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND CAN BE FATAL IF I WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE MY AIR BAG WOULDN'T DEPLOY PROPERLY.

I HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE VEHICLE TO STOP COMPLETELY, VERY SCARY AND NERVOUS. I HAD THE BRAKE PADS REPLACED AND THE MASTER CYLINDER. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, NOW THEY SAY IT IS THE ABS. THE VEHICLE HAS JUST PASSED 100K MILES. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE HAS BEEN MFG BRAKE PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE ,MODEL AND 2013.

ENGINE MAKE TAPPING NOISE WHEN A COLD STARTING THE NOISE WILL SLOW DOWN WILL IT IS WORMING UP BUT YOU STILL HEAR IT WAS LOOK AT BY 2 DIFFRANT CAR SHOP REPAIR AND BOTH SAID IT COULD BE ROCKER ARM OR LEFFTERS

MY CAR FEEL LIKE IT DON'T WANT TO STOP I THINK IT'S SOMETHING GOING ON WITH MY BRAKES PADS IT FEEL LIKE IT'S NOTHING UNDER MY FEET LIKE I CAN FEEL EVERYTHING I DON'T KNOW IT'S IT'S LIKE A FEELING YOU HAD TO BE IN THE CAR TO FEEL IT AND IT DON'T DO IT ALL THE TIME THAT'S WHAT'S SCARY IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S WET TOO

BOUGHT USED 3 WEEKS AGO AND IT DIED WHILE DRIVING ON INCLINE, HAS BEEN MAKING A TICKING NOISE, AND SLUGGISH, STEREO TURNED OFF BY ITSELF.

1. THE FABRIC ON THE SEATS IS NOT COLORFAST. ANY DROP OF CLEAN WATER LOOKS LIKE A STAIN WHEN IT DRIES. 2. MY STEERING WHEEL KNOCKS WHEN TURNED LEFT AND RIGHT, WHEN IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. IT IS THE U-JOINT BEHIND THE BREAK PEDDLE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN MAKING A KNOCKING/CLUNKING NOISE.

A TICKING/KNOCKING NOISE IS GOING ON IN THE ENGINE, POWERTRAIN. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND IS WORSE IN COLD WEATHER. IT IS BELIEVED TO BE A VALVE TRAIN ISSUE. THE KNOCKING GETS WORSE WHEN I ACCELERATE, ALSO. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRAS, BUT THERE ISN'T A RECALL FOR THE ENGINE. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND THEY'VE BEEN SLOW TO RESPOND. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY WITH THE BUSINESS THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM. THEY'RE USING THE QUICK, TEMPORARY WARRANTY TO GET A NEW USED ENGINE, BUT I'M CONCERNED THAT THE SAME TICKING/KNOCKING NOISE WILL OCCUR WITH THE NEW USED ENGINE, BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO USE A DIFFERENT BRAND ENGINE. I'D PREFER THAT HYUNDAI DO A STRAIGHT UP RECALL FOR THE ENGINES THAT CONSISTENTLY PERFORM THIS WAY - WITH A KNOCKING NOISE THAT HINDERS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE.

I WAS IN MOTION AND MY EMERGENCY BRAKE DID NOT WORK . I CONTINUE DOWN HILL AND TO AVOID ON COMING TRAFFIC,,I TURN TO THE RIGHT TO HIT THE FENCE. MY AIR BAGS NEVER OPEN. THA K GOD I ALWAYS WERE MY SEAT BELTS.

THE ENGINE MAKES PISTON SLAP NOISE WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS COLD AROUND 50 OR BELOW FAHRENHEIT. THE ENGINE WILL MAKE LOUD CLAPPING NOISE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS. THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW. POSSIBLE CAUSE IS PISTON SKIRT BEING TO SHORT CAUSING SIDE TO SIDE MOVEMENT WHEN COLD. HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. IN CANADA HYUNDAI HAS ISSUED A BULLETIN TO ITS DEALERS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HAS NOTIFIED THEM TO REPLACE THE ENGINE.

ONLY WHEN WET BRAKING STARTS TO MAKE NOISE AND ACT LIKE IT WANT STOP. IT HAS NEW BRAKES.*DT*JB

BRAKES DON'T WANT TO STOP EVEN AFTER I'VE GOT THEM REPAIRED BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT EVEN AFTER THE BULBS HAS BEEN REPLACED

STEERING "KNOCKS" WHILE TURNING WHEEL; BOTH STANDING AND WITH VEHICLE MOVING ALONG CITY STREETS. LOOKED UP SYMPTOM ONLINE, WHICH APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM KNOWN AS A DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE STEERING COUPLER. MAYBE THE COUPLER SHOULD BE METAL & NOT PLASTIC. STEERING ALSO SHAKES AT 45MPH & ALSO WHEN YOU BRAKE.

WE BELIEVE THAT THE MPG PROGRAM WHICH WE SUED FOR IS STILL BAD, AND WE NEED SOME RECALLS DONE ON THE CAR.

WHEN I START MY CAR THE ENGINE TICKS I BELIEVE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A PISTON ISSUE ALSO MY SEATBELTS DON'T PROPERLY SECURE I HAVE TO USE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO BUCKLE IT

I HAVE A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA COUPE GS, AND I HAVE HAD THE STEERING COUPLER ISSUE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT TURNING OFF ISSUE, AS WELL AS THE COMPUTER SENDING THE WRONG SIGNALS AND WREAKING HAVOC CAUSING ME TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR, SPARK PLUGS, AND COILS ONLY TO FIND OUT A WEEK LATER THAT MY CAR DID IN FACT FALL UNDER TWO OF THE SPECIFIC RECALL NOTICES (BRAKE LIGHTS AND COMPUTER) AFTER HYUNDAI SAID IT DIDNT!. WHEN I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AGAIN IN REGARDS TO ALL OF IT IN MAY OR JUNE 2020, THEIR EXACT WORDS TO ME WERE "WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO ABOUT IT?" AND NOW, AFTER FINALLY GETTING THE COUPLER ISSUE RESOLVED IN NOVEMBER, MY EPS JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN QUIT WORKING WITH NO WARNING. I WAS DRIVING AND OUT OF NOWHERE, THE WHEEL VIOLENTLY TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT AND LOCKED. NO EPS LIGHT, NO WARNING, NO NOTHING! THIS LUCKILY IN MY CASE DID NOT CAUSE ME TO WRECK, BUT IT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURIES HAD THERE BEEN ANOTHER CAR NEAR ME WHEN IT HAPPENED! IT ALSO DID IT SEVERAL TIMES SITTING STATIONARY WHEN BEING LOOKED AT IN THE SHOP!

SRS AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBED IN SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS. 70,000 MILES ON VEHICLE.

AIRBAG LIGHT GOS ON AND OFF

EVERY TIME I TURN THE VEHICLE ON MY AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON. SOME TIMES STAY ON ALL THE TIME AND SOME TIMES IT GOES OFF AND ON WHILE I'M DRIVING.

FOR THE BRAKES AND LIGHTING ISSUE, MY BRAKE LIGHTS GO BAD EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS AND NEED CHANGED. I BELIEVE THIS IS POSSIBLY TO DO WITH THE RECALL FOR BRAKES. I HAVE HAD PEOPLE ON MANY OCCASIONS STOP ME IN TRAFFIC TO LET ME KNOW AN ENTIRE SIDE OF LIGHTS WERE OUT AT ONCE. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER MORE THAN ONCE AS WELL FOR MY BRAKE LIGHTS IN THE FOUR YEARS I'VE HAD MY CAR. I ALWAYS KEEP SPARE LIGHTS IN MY CAR FOR THIS REASON. I CALLED A&B KIA, WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR, WHO SAID MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. HOWEVER, WITH THE MANY ISSUES I'VE HAD WITH MY BRAKE LIGHTS I BELIEVE IT IS RELATED. MORE RECENTLY THAN MY BRAKES, MY CRUISE CONTROL HAS STOPPED WORKING. WITHIN THE PAST YEAR IT HAS SLOWLY WENT FROM WORKING SOMETIMES TO NOT WORKING AT ALL. OTHER FUNCTIONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL, SUCH AS VOLUME AND RADIO CONTROLS HAVE NOT BEEN AFFECTED.

THE FUEL RAIL IS LEAKING, IN DANGEROUS OF FIRING. THE SAME/SIMILAR ISSUE HAS BEEN RECALLED/REPORTED REPEATEDLY

STEERING IS MAKING A 'CLUNKING ' NOISE WHEN STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED. THE STEERING FEELS LIKE IT HAS PLAY BEFORE IT ENGAGES. THE NOISE AND PLAY ARE PRESENT WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR STATIONARY. ISSUE IS THE SAME AS WHAT HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPORTED. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE STEERING WILL NOT RESPOND PROPERLY AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WITH APPROX. 75,000 MILES, AND NO MECHANICAL OR COSMETIC ISSUES, CAUGHT FIRE WHILE PARKED AND TURNED OFF FOR 10 MINUTES AT TAVERN IN THE SQUARE RESTAURANT IN LOWELL, MA. PATRONS WHO WERE PARKED NEARBY HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE ELECTRICAL SPARKS AND THEN WITNESSED SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD WHICH THEN BURST INTO FLAMES. THEY RAN IN TO RETRIEVE MY FAMILY AND I AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME WITHIN 10 MINUTES TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES BUT THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED BY THAT TIME. I HAVE VIDEOS AND PICTURES THAT CAN BE FORWARDED TO YOU. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT WAS ON HOLD FOR 40 MINUTES AND IMMEDIATELY DISCONNECTED BEFORE SPEAKING TO ANYONE. THIS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY STRESSFUL EMOTIONALLY AND FINANCIALLY. THE CAR WAS IN OUR GARAGE JUST 30 MINUTES PRIOR AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A HISTORY OF ISSUES WITH SOME OTHER HYUNDAI VEHICLES WHICH I WASN'T AWARE OF UNTIL NOW BUT I DON'T SEE THAT MY CAR WAS LISTED AS A POSSIBLE RECALL FOR ELECTRICAL FIRES. IT WAS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION AND EVERY PENNY I EARNED WAS USED TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE LESS THAN ONE YEAR AGO. I DO NOT HAVE INSURANCE THAT WOULD COVER THIS SITUATION SO THIS IS A TOTAL LOSS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO PROCEED AND ALSO WHERE TO FORWARD THE VIDEO AND PHOTO DETAILS.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REASON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND REMAINS ON. I CALLED DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $169.00 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE IT APPEARS GT HAS THE SAME AIRBAGS AS OTHER ELANTRAS BUT IS NOT ON RECALL FOR THIS PART? WHY NOT? ISN'T THIS A SAFETY ISSUE?

PURCHASED WHAT I BELIEVE IS A LEMON FROM THE STAMFORD HYUNDAI. VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED AND RECALL ISSUES NOT ADDRESSED. ANOTHER CAR THAT HIT MINE STATED THAT MY CAR BRAKE LIGHTS INDICATED I STOPPED WHEN I ACTUALLY RELEASED THE BRAKE PEDAL. I BELIEVE THAT THE DEALERSHIP OVER CHARGED ME FOR A DEFECTED VEHICLE AND FAILED TO ADDRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL ISSUE WHICH CAUSED MY LANE CHANGE ACCIDENT. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE CAN ASSIST ME WITH THIS SERIOUS INFRACTION. AGAIN MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION BUT THE OTHER DRIVER SAID IT APPEARED TO BE. I WASN'T INFORMED BY THE SALESMAN OF ANY DEFECTS OR ISSUES. THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT I WAS DRIVING IN BROOKLYN NY ON REMSEN AVENUE. IMPACT OCCURRED ON REMSEN AND KINGS HIGHWAY. ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THIS WILL BE APPRECIATED. I PURCHASED THIS CAR CASH 6405.70 WHEN THE ASKING PRICE WAS 4670. I'VE BEEN RIPPED OFF AND COULD HAVE GOTTEN KILLED. HELP PLEASE.

THERE IS A CLICKING/CLUNKING SOUND FROM MY STEERING WHEEL. WHILE I AM DRIVING IT WILL SNAP MY STEERING WHEEL TO THE MIDDLE WHICH IS VERY UNSAFE AS THIS COULD CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO MOVE IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. THE DIAGNOSIS IS THE POWER STEERING COUPLER BUT SINCE I'M AT 101,000 MILES (ONLY 1,000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY) THE DEALERSHIP WON'T COVER IT.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND I GOT IT DIAGNOSED AND IT WAS THE CLOCK SPRING. THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE TECH SAID THAT THE CLOCK SPRING ITSELF WASNT BROKEN, JUST THAT IT SHORTED OUT. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM BEFORE I GOT IT FIXED AND THERE WAS A CONSENSUS THAT ELANTRA HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE CLOCK SPRING. HYUNDAI DID A PARTIAL RECALL OF ELANTRA WITHIN 2011-2014 FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT MY VEHICLE WASN'T INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL.

MOTOR BLOWN WHEN VEHICLE HAD 130000 MILES AFTER REGULAR OIL CHANGES.

EVERY TIME IT RAINS . IT HYDROPLANES REAL BAD. ON THE HIGHWAY. ANYTHING OVER 40 MPH. BACK IS TRYING TO OUT RUN FRONT OF CAR. I PUT NEW TIRES ON IT ALL AROUND STILL DOESN'T HELP.

ON MONDAY WHEN I STARTED MY CAR I REALIZED MY AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD WAS ON ALERTING ME THAT MY AIRBAGS ARE DEACTIVATED AND WON'T DEPLOY. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER DEPLOYED. IT IS UNSETTLING THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND WITHOUT AIRBAGS BECAUSE I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY OVER 100$ TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO RECALL EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS NOT THE FIRST HYUNDAI TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT PERIOD COMES ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. EVEN THOUGH THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS.

STEERING WHEEL PLAY WITH CLICKING/CLUNKING SOUND WHEN STEERING WHEEL TURN ~5 DEGREES RIGHT AND LEFT. NOTICED PROBLEM 200 MILES AGO AND PROBLEM GETTING WORST FAST. CAR HAS ~80K MILES.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND HAS REMAINED ON SINCE LIGHT WAS INITIALLY ILLUMINATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HYDROPLANE. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE VEHICLE SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND CRASHED INTO A WALL. ALL THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE BACK BROKEN, BURN TO NECK, BURIES ALL OVER THE BODY, AND LACERATIONS TO THE HEAD. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS CONTACTED AND AS TOOK THE CONTACT TO THE HOSPITAL HOWEVER THE CONTACT HAD TO BE TRANSFER TO ANOTHER HOSPITAL WHERE SHE RECEIVED MEDICAL ATTENTION BETWEEN SEPT 9/11/2020 TO 9/14/2020. THE CONTACT WAS IN THE TRAUMA UNIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY THE POLICE TO A LOT WHERE IT WAS DEEMED A TOTALED LOSS. GEICO ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE DEALER (THOMAS HYUNDAI 10325 MT SAVAGE ROAD, CUMBERLAND, MD 21502) WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE REPAIRS THAT WERE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE 3 WEEKS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE THAT OCCURRED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE ECM WAS UPDATED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL STOPPER WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT 0 RECALLS WERE UNDER THE VIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 51,486.

THERE IS A KNOCKING WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL WHEN DRIVING, PARKED, AND WHEN I GO OVER BUMPS BOTH ON STREETS, AND HIGHWAY AT ANY SPEED. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AND I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE

2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE STATIONARY, IN CITY STREET, TURNING OR NOT NOT TURNING, UNCONTROLLED ENGINE RACING TO AT LEAST 5000 RPM. TO STOP RACING WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT, I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND A) ENGINE SPEED MAY GO BACK TO NORMAL OR B) REPEATEDLY STEP ON GAS PEDAL TO DISENGAGE RACING ENGINE. OR C) TURN OFF ENGINE KEY AND TRY TO RESTART. THIS HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES

BRAKE LIGHTS STAYED ON KILLING THE BATTERY. AFTER PAYING FOR A FOR A NEW BATTERY AND 100.00 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST IT WAS STATED THAT THE BRAKE STOPPER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER I PAID FOR THIS SERVICE A RECALL WAS MADE. I FILED A CLAIM TO BE REIMBURSE BUT HAVE BEEN IGNORED.

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT

AFTER GETTING THE RECALL FOR BRAKES DONE , TWO MONTHS LATER MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED DOING A CLUCK SOUND WHENEVER I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL. IT DOES IT WHEN DRIVING, PARKED , ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE CITY STREET.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD OF MY CAR GOES ON AND OFF AS I'M DRIVING OR WHEN THE CAR IS NOT IN MOTION. APPARENTLY THIS IS DUE TO THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. SEVERAL HYUNDAIS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SO HYUNDAI EXTENDED ITS WARRANTY FOR CERTAIN MODELS. THE 2013 ELANTRA SEDAN IS COVERED UNDER THIS WARRANTY, HOWEVER, THEY FAILED TO INCLUDE THE GT MODEL. THE GT MODEL HAS THE EXACT SAME PART WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUES, THEREFORE IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THIS IS A TERRIBLE SAFETY ISSUE SINCE MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF I GET INTO A COLLISION.

STEERING WHEEL MAKES A CLICKING SOUND EVERY TIME IT IS MOVED AND SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF.

STEERING COUPLER WHEN YOU MOVE THE WHEEL BACK AND FORTH IT CLICKS MAKES NOISE WHEN HIT BUMPS IN THE ROAD I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT!

MY AIRBAG LIGHT RANDOMLY TURNED ON WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND WON'T TURN OFF

I HAVE EXPERIENCED LOSS OF CONTROL OF THIS VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES, INCLUDING TODAY. AS I HAVE FAITHFULLY MAINTAINED MY CAR, I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THE DESIGN OF THE CAR IS THE ISSUE. SPECIFICALLY, WHEN I ATTEMPT TO APPLY THE BRAKES, THE CAR WILL NOT BRAKE PROPERLY AND IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL. TODAY, I EXPERIENCED THE CAR HYDROPLANE AND THANK GOODNESS NO OTHER CAR WAS IN FRONT OF ME OR ON THE SIDE BECAUSE IT TOOK ME AT LEAST TWO MINUTES BEFORE I COULD GAIN CONTROL AGAIN. THIS OCCURED WHEN I MADE A RIGHT TURN WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 25MPH AND NO PUDDLES OF WATER WERE PRESENT. EARLY APRIL, I HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT WHERE I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES, ALTHOUGH MY BRAKES WERE REPLACED A FEW WEEKS PRIOR. BACK IN DECEMBER 2019, I HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY I-95 WHILE DRIVING HOME. I HAVE IT DOCUMENTED THROUGH AAA. MY TIRE BLEW AND THE CAR FAILED TO STOP. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER AND ADVISED WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY INSISTED MY TIRES AND BRAKES WERE FINE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE TODAY AND FOUND I AM NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. I SAW SEVERAL CUSTOMERS STATING THEY RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE, HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ONE. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY TO THE POINT I NO LONGER WANT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE SEVERAL EXTERIOR LIGHTS ( LIGHT BULBS) IN THE 7 YEARS I HAVE OWNED MY CAR, INCLUDING REAR BRAKE LIGHTS, REAR TURNING SIGNAL LIGHTS, REAR TAIL LIGHTS, AND FRONT HEADLIGHT BULBS. I CURRENTLY HAVE A LEFT SIDE REAR BRAKE LIGHT THAT CONTINUES TO GO OUT EVERY 3-6 MONTHS, JUST HAD IT REPLACED BY MY AUTO SHOP 3-4 MONTHS AGO WITH INSPECTION OF THE WIRING TO THAT LIGHT (FOUND TO BE OK).

I HAD A ACCIDENT TRIED TO BRAKE QUICK MY BRAKES SKIPPED AND I ENDED UP HITTING A VAN BECAUSE I COULDN'T STOP

THE AIRBAG LIGHTS WONT TURN OFF.

AIR BAG LIGHT WONT GO OFF... AND SEAT BELT FELL OUT OF THE ADJUSTER

CAR SPONTANEOUSLY IGNITED WHILE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. ENGINE HAD BEEN OFF FOR 6 1/2 HOURS, KEYS WERE NOT IN VEHICLE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. HEAT FROM FIRE DAMAGED ANOTHER AUTO PARKED NEARBY. LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE BLAZE.

THE CLOCK SPRING CONTACT ASSEMBLY FOR THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) HAS BECOME DAMAGED THROUGH USAGE OVER TIME. THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT EXPERIENCES A HIGH RESISTANCE CONDITION, CAUSING THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG TO NOT DEPLOY. THE CLOCK SPRING DEVELOPS HIGH RESISTANCE, IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE DRIVERS AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROPERLY PROTECT THE DRIVER, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURIES. HYUNDAI HAS ISSUED A RECALL/TSB FOR THE 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEDAN, BUT NOT THE HATCHBACK WHICH UTILIZES THE EXACT SAME PART. THE REPAIR COST IS ALMOST $500 AT THE DEALER AND BECAUSE THE REPAIR INVOLVES REMOVING THE AIRBAG AND REMOVING THE STEERING WHEEL IT POSES A SAFETY RISK FOR SHADE TREE MECHANICS. THE ATTACHED TSB SHOULD ALSO APPLY TO THE ELANTRA HATCHBACK AS WELL,

STEERING "KNOCKS" WHILE TURNING WHEEL. "BOTH STANDING AND WITH VEHICLE MOVING ALONG CITY STREETS" LOOKED UP SYMPTOM ONLINE, WHICH APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM KNOW AS A DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE STEERING COUPLER. THE COUPLER COSTS ABOUT $5.00 US DOLLARS BUT COSTS $410.00 TO REPLACE.

MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED WITH MAKING A CLICKING SOUND AND NOW THE STEERING IS PULLING AND QUITE FRANKLY I AM AFRAID THAT MY CAR STEERING COLUMN WILL COME UNDONE AND I WILL HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THIS CAR HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE ISSUES.

FLEXIBLE STEERING COUPLE FALLS APART CAUSING STEERING WHEEL TO.BECOME LOOSE AND MAKE LOUD METALLIC CLANKING NOISE. UNABLE TO PROVIDE PICTURES DUE TO ME NOT KNOWING HOW TO DISASSEMBLE STEERING COLUMN. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REPORTED ACCORDING TO HYUNDAI FORUMS

AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINS ON, BAGS HAVE NEVER DEPLOYED; KNOWN ISSUE WITH ELANTRAS - HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL?

SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. OBD HAS DETERMINED THAT THE DRIVER'S FRONT AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING HAS FAILED. VEHICLE HAS 72,175 MILES. THIS PART IS A KNOWN HIGH FAILURE ITEM AND THE WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 15 YEARS FOR 2011-2013 SONATA, 2011-2014 SONATA HYBRID AND 'CERTAIN' 2011-2014 ELANTRA. THE WARRANTY EXTENSION DOES NOT COVER MY 2013 ELANTRA GT.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND BUTTONS ON STEERING WHEEL NO LONGER WORK. MANY OTHER ELANTRA OWNERS HAVE MADE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO FIX A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAGS AND IT HAPPENED BEFORE I HIT 60000 BUT COULDN'T GET IN UNTIL LATER SO THEY USED THAT TO NOT FIX IT ON THERE ON DIME.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BACK IN JANUARY OF 2019 & WHEN I PURCHASED IT THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A CLICKING SOUND. I MENTIONED IT TO THE CAR DEALER & WAS ASSURED IT WAS NOTHING. AFTER HAVING MY OIL CHANGED I WAS TOLD MY STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS QUITE DISHEARTENING AS I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR JUST ONE YEAR & A HALF AT THIS POINT. I WAS TOLD TO RESEARCH FOR RECALLS IN RELATION TO THIS PARTICULAR ISSUES AS IT HAS BEEN REPORTED FOR OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE, MODEL & YEAR. I AM AFRAID MY CAR STEERING WILL GO OUT WHILE DRIVING.

AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT AT 80,0000 MILES.

SINCE I OWNING THIS CAR I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ALL LIGHTS. BOTH HEADLIGHT LAMPS HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A DEFECT. ALSO I HAD BEEN REPLACING TAIL, BRAKE, AND TURNING SIGNAL LIGHTS AT EVERY OIL CHANGE BECAUSE ONE OR THE OTHER WILL BE OUT. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THIS MANY BULBS ON ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED. THIS OIL CHANGE JUNE 27, 2020 I HAD 3 BULBS OUT BREAK, TAIL LIGHT AND PARKING LIGHT ALL OUT AT THE SAME TIME. THIS HAS BEEN AND FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE AN ON GOING PROBLEM NOT TO MENTION THE COST EVERYTIME THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEM LIGHT ARE NOT CHEAP. *TR

NOTICED A OIL BASED LEAK UNDER VEHICLE ,HAVE IT INSPECTED THE LEAK IS COMING OUT OF A DEFECTIVE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR ,EMITTING TOXICS FREON AND AC OIL TO THE AIR AND GROUND. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR SAFETY AND POLLUTION. *TR

THE PARKING LIGHT COME ON RANDOMLY. EVEN WHEN THE SWITCH IT TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION. THIS CAUSES THE BATTERY TO RUN DOWN. THE ONLY WAY TO SHUT THEM OFF IS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CABLE. WHEN 1ST NOTICED THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR THREE DAYS. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I FIRST NOTICED IT. SEVERAL OTHER HYUNDAI OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. MOSTLY WITH PARKING LIGHTS , BUT A FEW SAID IT WAS THEIR BRAKE LIGHTS. *TR

THE KEY FOB IS NOT DETECTED (INTERMITTENTLY). WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I AM LEFT STRANDED. MY CAR WILL NOT START. I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERY IN THE FOB WHEN THIS OCCURS AND I HAVE TRIED TO USE MY SECOND KEY FOB. THE PROBLEM STILL IS NOT AIDED. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE FOB UP TO THE START BUTTON, AS SOME VIDEOS SUGGEST. THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES. UPON LOOKING AT FORUMS AND OTHER PLACES ON THE WEB WHERE HYUNDAI CUSTOMERS COMMUNICATE, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG HYUNDAI CUSTOMERS. DURING THIS TIME, THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE. I EVEN GOT THE BRAKE SENSOR REPLACED. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. *TR

THE STEERING KNUCKLE (COUPLER) IS BAD. *TR

I GOT MY CAR BRAKE RELEASE LIGHT FIXED BECAUSE IT WAS RECALLED IN 2018 2 YRS LATER SAME ISSUE BRAKE LIGHT IS STILL ON EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF

MOONROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ABOUT 60-65 MPH. *TR

CAR HAS BEEN IN SHOP 3 TIMES FOR SAME ISSUE. CAR PULLS DANGEROUSLY TO THE LEFT. I'VE NOTICED MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM BUT NOT RECALL OR FIX AVAILABLE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE FACT YOU HAVE TO OVER COMPENSATE STEERING. THIS WILL HAPPEN ON ANY ROAD OR HIGHWAY. EVEN WORSE IF ROADS ARE BAD, THE WILL OVER COMPENSATE ITSELF. SCARY TO DRIVE. *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SINCE MARCH 2019. AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE SIGNAL LIGHT 2 TIMES. AND BRAKE LIGHTS 2 TIMES. IS THIS A NORMAL THING WITH THESE VEHICLES. *TR

I NOTICED MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WAS MAKING A SOUND FROM THE DRIVER SIDE( IN 2018 )WHEEL WHEN I TURN AND ALSO THE CAR SWAYS WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED. I REPORTED IT TO THE HYUNDAI OF LAS VEGAS DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY HYUNDAI FROM ON 6/2017 BUT THEY SAID I HAD NO EXTENDED WARRANTY. I THEN RECEIVED A "RECALL NOTICE" FOR THE 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA (1/29/2018) AND TOOK IT BACK TO HYUNDAI OF LAS VEGAS WHO FIXED A BRAKE PEDAL DEFECT FREE OF CHARGE. I KNOW THERE ARE 29 HYUNDAI CONSUMER COMPLAINTS REPORTED TO THE NHTSA ABOUT THE "SWAYING MOTION" ON HYUNDAIS THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE RELATED TO THE SUSPENSION WHICH SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL PRIORITY LIST TO IN MY OPINION SINCE I AM MAKING MONTHLY PAYMENTS FOR MY USED HYUNDAI. IT WILL COST THE PRICE OF A NEW CAR AFTER I AM DONE PAYING OFF THE ENTIRE CAR LOAN I OWE. *TR

THE INSIDE DOOR PANELS ARE VERY STICKY. NOTHING TAKES THE STICKY AWAY. OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES ARE FADING AND CHIPPING ON DOOR HANDLES ONLY. *TR

THERE IS AN EXISTING SAFETY ISSUE WITH HYUNDAI ELECTRIC STEERING. THE RUBBER STEERING COUPLING IS DEFECTIVE AND THEY HAVE ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEDANS BUT NOT THE GT MODELS. HOWEVER, THEY BOTH USE THE SAME ELECTRIC MOTOR. MY CAR EXHIBITS THE "CLUNKING NOISE" WHICH IS A SYMPTOM OF THE WORN PART. MY HYUNDAI DEALER CHECKED IT AND IMMEDIATELY SAID THAT IT WAS INDEED THE PROBLEM BUT UPON CHECKING MY VIN NUMBER MY GT MODEL ELANTRA IS NOT COVERED. I THINK HYUNDAI HAS JUST OVERLOOKED THIS BUT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE AN OPEN CASE WITH THEM THEY KEEP BEATING AROUND THE BUSH ABOUT IT. I TRIED EXPLAINING TO THEM THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT DIDN'T SEEM TO HELP. WHEN YOU MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH YOU HEAR THIS CLUNKING NOISE WHICH IS INDICATIVE OF THE WORN RUBBER BUSHING. ATTACHED IN THE NEXT PARAGRAPH IS THE VERBIAGE FROM THE HYUNDAI WEBSITE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I REALLY NEED TO GET THEM TO COVER MY CAR. IT IS A $300 PLUS REPAIR. BULLETIN NUMBER: 5NP-F8M5G-03 BULLETIN DATE: 02-27-2017 COMPONENT: 353000 EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL SUMMARY: HYUNDAI HAS ANNOUNCED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING (MDPS) COUPLING ON THE FOLLOWING VEHICLES: ? 2011-2014 SONATA (YFA), 2011-2014 SONATA HYBRID (YF HEV) ? 2007-2015 ELANTRA (HD, MD/UD), 2009-2012 ELANTRA TOURIN

FOR A YEAR STRAIGHT THE CAR HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF ON MY WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE STREET'S. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS BECAUSE IT RANDOMLY HAPPENS. THE CAR WILL JUST SHUT OFF AS IF IT LOST BATTERY POWER WHILE STILL IN DRIVING GEAR. WHEN RESTARTING THE CAR IT CAN SOMETIMES TAKE AWHILE BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE A CLICKING NOISE LIKE THERE IS EITHER A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE OR STARTER FOR THE CAR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. *TR

WHEN I DRIVE ABOVE 60MILES PER HOUR, MY STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO VIBRATE A LOT AND MAKING NOISES AND IT'S HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR, IT'S LIKE SOMETHING INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL BROKE. *TR

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON IM NOT GOING TO PAY CLOSE TO 300$ FOR A SAFETY FIX THERE ARE PLENTY OF THE SAME MODELS WITH THE SAME ISSUE, A BAD CLOCKSPRING! NEVER WENT OVER ANY BUMPS NEVER ANY RAILROADS JUST STARTED IT ONE DAY AND IT WAS ON. *TR

I WAS GETTING OFF THE FREEWAY ON THE OFF RAMO AND CAME TO A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED GREEN MY CAR DIED AND I WAS IN LEFT TURN LANE. I COULDN'T MOVE THE CAR FORWARD. I DIDN'T HAVE AC AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL. *TR

DRIVING PAST ON THE FREEWAY AND HIS TRUCK KEPT SWERVING INTO OUR LANE. I HONKED FOR OUR SAFETY TO WARN HIM AND PROTECT MYSELF AND MY TODDLER IN THE CAR FROM GETTING HIT. HE THEN PROCEEDED TO FOLLOW ME WITH HIS WIFE IN THE CAR MAKING HAND GESTURES OF SHOOTING ME AND CONTINUED TO ATTEMPT TO SWERVE HIS TRUCK. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS KEEPS BURNING OUT CONSTANTLY AFTER REPLACING THEM. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. THEY HAVE RECALLS AND OR MANUFACTURERS EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR OTHER HYUNDAI ELANTRA'S, BUT NOT FOR 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM PLACING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THIS SHOULD BE COVERED AND NOT AN EXPENSE TO OWNER OF THE CAR. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS HARM WITH SUCH A DEFAULT. ALL HYUNDAI'S HAVING THIS ISSUE, SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, NOT JUST SOME.

HYUNDAI HAS ISSED IN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF $120,000 ON SEVERAL MODELS WITH THE SAME ENGINE PROBLEM. HTTPS://WWW.HYUNDAIENGINEINFO.COM/TECHNICAL-OVERVIEW/#WHATTOLOOKOUTFOR HTTPS://WWW.HYUNDAIENGINEINFO.COM/ ALSO, THE TRUNK LATCH HAS COMPLETELY FAILED ALONG WITH THE EMERGENCY LATCH OPENING IN THE TRUNK.

WHILE APPLYING BRAKES VEHICLES ENGINE WOULD REV UP TO OVER 5000 RPM'S MAKING IT HARD TO STOP ONCE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND GEAR SHIFT WAS PUT IN PARK THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED WHERE IT NOW WAS RUNNING NORMALY THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS ONCE IN BUSY TRAFFIC THE OTHER WHILE I WAS PULLING INTO MY GARAGE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP YOU REALLY HAD TO PUT ALOT OF PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES MY WIFE WON'T DRIVE IT ANYMORE FOR SHE FEARS SHE'LL BE IN A ACCIDENT I'M AFRAID THAT THESE HIGH RPM'S MAY DO DAMAGE TO THE BRAKES , ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO AND RECENTLY YESTERDAY MARCH 9TH 2020

THE STEERING HAS BECOME LOOSE AN KLUNKS WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVED BACK AND FORTH FROM CIENTER POSITION . IT DOES THIS ALL THE TIME WHEATHER MOVING OR STOPPED.

THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT CAN'T GET POWER SHAKES SLOW TO ACCELERATE FOR HALF A BLOCK THEN ACCELERATION. IT'S HAPPENED 5 TIMES TODAY. OTHER DAYS IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S NOT RUNNING SMOOTHLY AND THEN DOES OK AFTER AWHILE. THIS HAPPENED WITH CAR IN PARK, BACKING UP, GOING FORWARD, 2 DIFFERENT STOPS AT LIGHTS AND 2 MORE STOPS TIL I GOT HOME.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. THE LIGHT IS SUPPOSED TO GO OUT AFTER 6 SECONDS OF THE CAR BEING STARTED. MINE DOES NOT GO OUT AND REMAINS LIT. THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR 15 YEARS FOR THIS ISSUE DUE TO THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDING REPLACED.

THE STEERING COUPLER IN MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WENT BAD AROUND 150,000 MILES... NOW THERE'S A CLICKING SOUND AND 'PLAY' IN THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE HYUNDAI USED AN INFERIOR PART. ONCE I STARTED RESEARCHING I REALIZED IT'S AN INCREDIBLY COMMON ISSUE THAT THE DEALERSHIP WANTS SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THIS SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE REPAIRED UNDER A RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY (WELL BEYOND THE 100K MARK) SINCE THIS IS NOT PART OF NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OR ABUSE.

1-THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME ! 2- THE CAR WAS RECALLED FOR A BREAK ISSUE, SINCE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE PADDLE FEEL LOSER(( I NEED TO PUSH THE BREAK TWO TIMES TO GET THE CLIPPERS WORKS! I HAVE CHANGED THE BREAK CLIPPERS AND THE SAME PROBLEM!!!!

CAR CHUGGED AND SHUT OFF; WAITED AND IT STARTED AGAIN, BUT SINCE HAD TICKING NOISE. DEALER IS SAYING NEW ENGINE NEEDED; STATED HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF THE ENGINE WEARING OUT PREMATURELY AND HYUNDAI IS TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE OUT IF IT IS PAST THE WARRANTY BY PAYING 90% OF THE COST. HYUNDAI SHOULD PAY 100% IF THEY ARE AWARE THAT IT IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. AND THEY SAY IT IS GOING TO TAKE 2-4 WEEKS TO REPAIR.

STEERING CUPLER MAKES A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN TURNING. MY FAMILY MACHINIC STATED THAT THAT THESE CARS HAD A RECALL ON THEM. BUT WHEN CALL DEALERSHIP THEY SAID MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL FOR SAME ISSUE?

RED LIGHT WITH AIRBAG PICTURE STAYS ON IN THE DASH UNDER THE GAUGES. IT COMES ON AND STAYS ON DURING DRIVING WITH SEAT BELTS FASTENED AND EVERYTHING SECURED. MIGHT BE INDICATING SOME SORT OF MALFUNCTION IN SAFETY AIRBAG SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL POPPING SOUND IN THE STEERING. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MCCONNELL HONDA DEALER, (2840 EASTERN BLVD, MONTGOMERY, AL 36116, (334) 271-2500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROUTER CUFF ON THE STEERING WHEEL HAD WORN OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 19,602.

THE ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE A TICKING SOUND A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN THE FIRST COLD FRONT CAME IN.

BRAKE LIGHT REPLACED COUNTLESS TIMES ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. IT CONTINUES TO BURN OUT.

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

WITH LESS THAN 22,000 MILES, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND WHEN TURNED LEFT TO RIGHT WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AS TIME WENT ON. I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIRS AND FOUND THAT THE COUPLER HAD BEEN SHREDDED. THIS IS A $5 PIECE WHICH COSTS A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS TO HAVE REPLACED BY AN AUTO SHOP. HYUNDAI SHOULD BE REPLACING THESE, INSTEAD OF ITS CUSTOMERS.

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

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

RADIO AND SOME SENSORS IN ENGINE NOT WORKING. SENSORS SHOW MY ENGINE LIGHT ON BUT WHEN CHECKED SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THE RADIO WILL NOT TURN ON, FUSE WAS REPLACED AND DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THESE PROBLEMS HAPPEN WITH THE CAR IS BOTH STATIONARY AND IN MOTION

PREMATURE WEAR ON INSIDE EDGE OF REAR TIRES. WHEEL ALIGNMENT INDICATES THAT THE REAR WHEELS ARE AT THE HIGH END OF THE SPECIFICATION BUT THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT. ON WET OR ICY ROAD CONDITIONS THE CAR LURCHES FROM SIDE TO SIDE LOSING TRACTION SHIFTING SIDE TO SIDE. TIRES WEAR OUT AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30K MULTIPLE BRANDS HAVE BEEN TRIED. DEALER DID MULTIPLE WHEEL ALIGNMENTS AND EVENTUALLY PROVIDED TWO NEW TIRES BUT NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. I KNOW OF OTHERS WHO HAVE BOUGHT THE SAME YEAR OF VEHICLE AND HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THE LURKING/SHIFTING WHEN DRIVING ON WET OR ICY ROAD IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE TIRE REPLACEMENT ISSUE IS COSTLY AS WELL. REAR TIRES ARE CHAMBERED FROM FACTORY CAUSING THIS ISSUE AND NO ADJUSTMENT CAPABILITIES. THIS SHOULD BE A FACTORY RECALL AND THE REAR AXLE SHOULD BE REPLACED TO PROPERLY ALIGN THE REAR WHEELS. MY FIRST SET OF FACTORY TIRES WHERE EVENLY ON THE FRONT THEY WERE MEASURED AT 8/32 TREAD WHEN THE REAR TIRES WHERE UNEVENLY FROM 8/32 ON THE OUTSIDE TO 0/32 ON THE INSIDE TWO INCHES INTO THE TIRE TREAD. FOUGHT WITH DEAL FIR MONTHS AND MONTHS THEY FINALLY WON AND WORE ME OUT. I JUST STOP GOING TO THEM AND REPLACE MY TIRES AS THEY WEAR OUT. VERY COSTLY AND DANGEROUS FOR OTHERS WHO DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE LURKING/SHIFTING TO DRIVE THIS CAR. THERE ARE NO AFTER MARKET SHIM KITS TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE EITHER. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE AS THE VEHICLE WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS NOT TRACKING PROPERLY WITH NO ADJUSTMENT.

THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNED, IT HAPPENS WHEN IT IS MOVING OR STILL TOO.

MY STEERING COLUMN MAKES AN AWFUL NOISE LIKE A CLICKING NOISE THE WHOLE TIME I'M DRIVING IT REALLY SCARES ME BUT I HAVE TO DRIVE IT BC IT'S MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. NOW MY BREAK LIGHTS ALL THE WAY ACROSS DOESN'T WORK AND IT'S NOT A FUSE.LAST THING IS MY AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALSO WHICH SCARES ME .PLEASE SOME ONE HELP GET THESE ISSUES RESOLVED QUICKLY I'M THE SECOND OWNER SO I PROBABLY HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE RECALLS ABOUT THESE ISSUES.PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME .THANK YOU

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON CAR STARTED TO SKIP TOOK TWO CERTIFIED MECHANIC CHANGE SPARK PLUGS TWO CONDENSERS ENGINE FLUSH AND THE ENGINE START RATTLING ENGINE BROKE LOOSE NOW ENGINE IS DESTROYED OR AFTER A TUNEUP. TOOK BACK IMMEDIATELY AND TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC FOR SECOND OPINION.

CLICKING IN STEERING AND PLAY IN STEERING

JUST BOUGHT THE 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA, 12/21/2019, AFTER ABOUT 100 MILES OF DRIVING WE NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL IS OFF CENTER. WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN AND ON HIGHWAY SHIFTING LANES IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO AND IT WILL PULL HARD LEFT OR RIGHT ALMOST CAUSING TO RUN OFF THE ROAD. 12/25/2019, WHILE ON THE WAY HOME I ALMOST STRUCK ANOTHER CAR. MORE NOTICEABLE FROM 30 TO 55 WORSE OVER 55. DRIVING ON DIRT ROAD FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO FISH TAIL. STEERING IS STICKY YET A LOT OF PLAY. INTERMITTINGLY WHILE BRAKING IT SOUNDS LIKE SCRAPPING LIKE WHEN YOUR BRAKES ARE BAD. BRAKING SLOWLY OR ABRUPTLY MAKES NO CHANGE. WET ROADS IS WORSE WITH BRAKING.

**STEERING WHEEL SAFETY HAZARD** I HAVE A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SE COUPE, 50K MILES. I NOTICED THAT ALL THE SUDDEN IN THE PAST WEEK OR SO THERE IS A FEW INCH GAP AND A CLUNKING NOISE IN MY STEERING WHEEL. I BROUGHT IT TO MY DEALERSHIP (KING HUYNDAI AND DEERFIELD BEACH FLORIDA) AND THEY ADVISED THAT MY "STEERING WHEEL COUPLER" NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED HIM IF THERE ARE ANY POSSIBLE HAZARDOUS OR DANGEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS FAULTY STEERING WHEEL COUPLER. HIS RESPONSE WAS, "ABSOLUTELY, YOUR STEERING WHEEL CAN LOCK UP AND CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT"! HE ALSO ADVISED ME THAT IF I DO NOT HAVE THIS REPAIRED ASAP IT CAN RESULT IN MY ENTIRE ELECTRICAL STEERING SYSTEM TO ALSO BREAK & NEED REPLACEMENT. HE ALSO ADDED, "IF THAT HAPPENS I WILL END UP SPENDING A LOT MORE MONEY FOR THAT REPAIR ALSO"! I DID SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS BAD "COUPLER" IS MADE OF ONLY PLASTIC!! THE AVERAGE COST IS ONLY ABOUT $10 FOR A NEW ONE. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE ME OVER $300.00 (OUT OF THE DOOR) FOR THIS SPECIFIC REPAIR. THIS GAP AND CLUNKING SOUND HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS TOTALLY STOPPED (BUT STILL RUNNING) AND ALSO DURING NORMAL AVERAGE DRIVING. THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE AND I TRANSPORT MY THREE YOUNG CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE. I AM SO SCARED TO DRIVE IT NOW, I AM TRYING TO FIND OTHER TRANSPORTATION METHODS. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING I AM ABLE TO FEEL EVEN THE SMALLEST PEBBLE UNDER A TIRE AND THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES AND TRULY DOES NOT FEEL SAFE AT ALL AND IS VERY SCARY. MOST IMPORTANTLY, IF THIS IS SUCH A DANGEROUS MATTER REGARDING THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, WHY WOULD THEY USE ONLY PLASTIC FOR THIS COUPLER AND NOT SOMETHING MORE RIGID AND STABLE WITH NO WORRIES OF ANY WEAR?

ELECTRIC STEERING COUPLING DEFECTIVE. CAR HAS ONLY 33K MILES ON IT. UNSAFE TO DRIVE. MECHANIC REPORTS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. I NOTICED TOO MUCH PLAY AND CLUNKING IN STEERING WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. CAR BOUGHT FROM DEALERSHIP JULY 3, 2019.. I HAD CAR REPAIRED BEFORE FURTHER DAMAGE OCCURRED.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT AT SAME TIME, SO I WAS RESEARCHING WHAT TO DO AND READ ABOUT THE ONE RECALL (#146) THAT I HAD DONE ALREADY. IT SAID SOMETHING ABOUT STARTING YOUR CAR WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. I DO NOT DEPRESS THE PEDAL WHEN I START MY CAR. IS THIS AN ISSUE?

ESC INDICATOR IS ON ON THE DASH BOARD DUE TO STEERING ANGLE SENSOR CIRCUIT-SIGNAL ISSUE.

STEERING COLUMN COUPLING IS BAD DUE TO WHICH I HEAR THE NOICE WHEN I TURN THE STEERING. ALSO I FEEL THAT STEERING IS HARD TO MANEUVER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A CLUNKING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE MOVED LEFT AND RIGHT. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE CORRECT LANE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA TWO DOOR MODELS WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTED REPAIR FOR THE STEERING FLEXIBLE COUPLING, PART NUMBER: 56315 2K000FF. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO JENKINS HYUNDAI (1602 SOUTH WEST COLLEGE ROAD, OCALA, FL 34471, 352-620-2264). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER WAS AWARE OF THE STEERING WHEEL FAILURE, BUT DID NOT DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A CLUNKING NOISE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. ALSO, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT SECURED AND WOULD MOVE APPROXIMATELY 3/4 OF AN INCH. THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT A BUSHING IN THE STEERING COLUMN WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HOLLER HYUNDAI (1150 N. ORLANDO AVE, WINTER PARK, FL) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN COUPLER WORE OUT. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THESE CARS. FOUND THIS OUT BY DOING A WEB SEARCH ON STEERING PROBLEMS. NO RECALLS ON THIS INHERIT PROBLEM

I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND BOUGHT IT FROM A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WITH 45K MILES ON IT. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 53K MILES ON IT AND THE ENGINE FAILED. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND AND WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR SHUT OFF. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND AVOID AN ACCENT BUT HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE BELTWAY. I GOT IT TOWED TO A AAA CERTIFIED GARAGE AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THE PROBLEM FREQUENTLY WITH HYUNDAI. I HAD PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM A 3RD PARTY AND LUCKILY THE DAMAGE IS COVERED UNDER THE 3RD PARTY WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THE ENGINE IS BEING REPLACED BY A REFURBISHED/SALVAGED ENGINE SO I WON'T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THIS ISSUE WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND IT HAS HURT MY RESALE VALUE BECAUSE IT WILL NOW BE LISTED IN THE CARFAX.

ON ENGINE START UP, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ACTIVATED INDICATING FAILURE WITH EITHER THE AIRBAG OR SUPPLEMENT RESTRAINT SYSTEM. DEALER DIAGNOSTICS INDICATED THE "CLOCKSPRING" PART HAD FAILED. THIS PART HAS FAILED OFTEN ENOUGH THAT HYUNDAI HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY ON "SOME MODELS OF 2011-2014" ELANTRA, BUT NOT THE MODEL OF MY CAR EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME PART THAT IS ON ALL 2011-2014 ELANTRA MODELS. SHOULD IT FAIL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING, THEN THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT OR THE SUPPLEMENT RESTRAINT SYSTEM MAY NOT WORK. THE "CLOCKSPRING" PART CONNECTS TO THE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM.

I HAVE REPLACED EVERY LIGHT IN THE REAR OF THIS CAR OVER AND OVER FOR THE PAST YEAR. THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT ACTUALLY MELTED. I HAVE NEVER HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH REAR LIGHTS IN A CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE BATTERY INDICATOR AND HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED. OTHER UNKNOWN INDICATORS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND DECELERATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 16408283. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 217,500.

COUPLING IN THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOSE. SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY 2013 SONATA. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEN CHARGED ME $424 TO REPAIR THE SONATA 2 YEARS AGO. WHEN I TAKE THE ELECTRA IN I'M SURE I WILL BE CHARGED SAME REPAIR COST. THIS OCCURS WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. CAN HEAR AND FEEL THE CLANG AS THE COUPLING RATTLES AROUND. LOOKED FOR SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR 2013 HYUNDAI'S BUT DID NOT FIND ANY RECALLS. SHOULD BE A FREE FIX IF IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE

AIRBAG SRS LIGHT APPEARED ON DASH PANEL WITHOUT REASON WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED IN A PARKED POSITION AND HAS STAYED ILLUMINATED SINCE FIRST APPEARING. THE LIGHT HAS BEEN PRESENT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW. RECENT DIAGNOSTICS REPORTED AIRBAG FAULT (CODE B134600 DRIVER AIRBAG RESISTANCE TOO HIGH STAGE #1). SERVICE FACILITY DEEMED FAULT IS SECONDARY TO DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING. THE DEFECT CAUSES THE AIRBAG SYSTEM TO FAIL AND AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS FAULT.

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION IT MAKES A DECENT CLICKING SOUND HAS BEEN HAPPENING NOW FOR OVER 8 MONTHS IT SEEMS TO ONLY DO IT WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS SLOWLY MOVING & AS WELL NOTICED A LOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING & MY STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT STAY ALIGNED WITH MY TIRES AFTER ALIGNMENT FROM HYUNDAI.

STEERING WHEEL IS CLICKING AND LOOSE. MAKES STEERING DIFFICULT. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS.

WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL WHILE STATIONARY OR DRIVING, THERE IS A LOUD CRUNCHING SOUND COMING FROM THE WHEEL TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT. SOMEONE TOLD ME I WILL THEN LOSE POWER STEERING & THAT AROUND 21,000-29,000 MILES ON YOUR CAR THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS. A SMALL WHEEL NUT BEHIND THE WHEEL & DASH BOARD BREAKS UP. I AM AFRAID TO LOSE MY POWER STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A NUMBER OF OWNERS.

AROUND 75K MILES THE STEERING WHEELS IS LOOSE WHEN TURNING LEFT TO RIGHT. WHEN AT A STANDSTILL WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING, THERE IS EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE WHEEL, CAUSING IT TO "CLUNK" LEFT AND RIGHT. THIS IS DUE TO A RUBBER POWER STEERING COUPLER (BUSHING). THIS IS ONLY A 5 DOLLAR PART HOWEVER MUCH EXPERIENCE IS NEEDED WHEN REPLACING THIS PART. I BELIEVE HYUNDAI RECALLED THE SONATA FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT I AM WONDERING WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL FOR US ELANTRA OWNERS. THIS IS UNSAFE. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE WHEEL WANTS TO DRIFT SIDE TO SIDE. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PART BEFORE PEOPLE START GETTING HURT.

2 WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED THIS CAR, THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON. DEALER REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ALSO NOTICED 2 WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED, THAT THE SUNROOF ASSEMBLY LEAKS, AND WATER POOLS AROUND THE SPARE TIRE. WORRIED ABOUT WATER DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE SPARE TIRE, AND THE POSSIBILITY OF MOLD GROWING.

HYUNDAI HAS OFFICIALLY RECALLED THE 'RUBBER COUPLING IN THE MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY ON ALL 2007 - 2015 MODELS'. HYUNDAI WILL NOT HONER THE SAME RECALL ON THE ELANTRA GT MODEL. THEY UTILIZE THE EXACT SAME PARTS. INSTEAD, THEY ARE CHARGING CUSTOMERS HIGH FEES TO REPLACE THIS 5 DOLLAR PART. THIS COUPLER BINDS THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE MOTOR. WHEN IT FAILS YOU LOSE STEERING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. HOW CAN THIS NOT BE RECALLED FOR ALL AFFECTED MODELS?

HYUNDAI HAS RECALLED CERTAIN MODEL YEARS ELANTRAS TO DUE A DEFECTIVE STEERING WHEEL CLOCK SPRING. HOWEVER, HYUNDAI WILL NOT HONER THIS RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME FAILURE IN THE ELANTRA GT MODELS OF THE SAME YEAR. THESE MODELS UTILIZE THE SAME PART! FAILURE OF THIS PART PREVENTS THE DRIVERS AIRBAG FROM DEPLOYING. THIS IS A MASSIVE SAFETY FAILURE!

SUDDENLY MY CAR DEVELOPED A NEW ISSUE OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHILE STOPPED/IDLE. WHILE MY FOOT IS ON GAS, THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY JERK FORWARD/RPM INCREASE. HOWEVER, SO FAR WHILE MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE, I HAVEN'T MOVED AS FAR AS I CAN TELL BUT FEARFUL IT MIGHT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING OR IT WILL DRIVE FORWARD EVEN WITH FOOT ON BRAKE.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR MY STEERING WHEELS VIBRATES AND SHAKES IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND MAKES A LOUD NOISE AND ALSO CLICKS WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AS WELL THE SHAKING IS ONLY WHEN IN MOTION AND THE CLICKS HAPPEN WHETHER SITTING STILL OR WHOLE DRIVING ON ANY CONDITIONS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE RAIL. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR GLASS INJURIES TO THE ARM, BUT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO CARDENAS MOTORS (1500 NORTH EXPRESSWAY 77, BROWNSVILLE, TX 78521, (956) 205-0370) WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED PER THE CONTACT'S INSURANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 15765657. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 106,441. *DT*JB*DT *TR

THERE IS EXCESSIVE PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL MAKING DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS AND DIFFICULT. THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A POPPING NOISE WHILE DRIVING OR TURNING IT WHEN SITTING STILL. ACCORDING TO MY LOCAL DEALER, HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF THIS DEFECTIVE BUSHING USED IN STEERING ASSIST MOTOR BUT HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL. THE STEERING BUSHING HAS DISINTEGRATED! THE SAME BUSHING WAS USED IN SEVERAL OTHER MODELS AS WELL. CHECK THE INTERNET THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS. I ONLY HAVE 76K MILES. I WAS TOLD BY CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY WOULD REPAIR THIS IF I HAD THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH I BELIEVE WAS 5YEARS/100K. WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH DEFECTIVE PARTS THEY CHOSE TO USE? WHY AM I RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MANUFACTURERS DEFECTIVE PART. THERE ARE HUNDREDS WHO HAVE REPORTED ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY LACK OF CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO EVERYONE ON THE ROAD, NOT JUST HYUNDAI OWNERS. PLEASE HELP MAKE US SAFER. MAKE HYUNDAI RECALL THIS DEFECTIVE STEERING ISSUE.

THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHEN EVER I TURN IT. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 WEEKS. IT IS GETTING LOUDER AND MORE CONSTANT, EVERY TIME I MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL IT MAKES A NOISE. THE MECHANIC @ TIRE KINGDOM SAID IT IS THE BUSHING, AND THAT HE SEES ABOUT 8 OUT 10 ELANTRA'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IN HIS GARAGE. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF I AM TURNING ON STREET, BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE, PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPACE AT WORK, OT DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT THIS AS IT IS NOT NORMAL.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND I GOT IT DIAGNOSED AND IT WAS THE CLOCK SPRING. THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE TECH SAID THAT THE CLOCK SPRING ITSELF WASNT BROKEN, JUST THAT IT SHORTED OUT. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM BEFORE I GOT IT FIXED AND THERE WAS A CONSENSUS THAT ELANTRAS HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE CLOCK SPRING. HYUNDAI DID A PARTIAL RECALL OF ELANTRAS WITHIN 2011-2014 FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT MY VEHICLE WASN'T INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THE LIGHT WOULD GENERALLY STAY ON BUT WOULD OCCASIONALLY TURN OFF ON THE HIGHWAY, BUT THEN BACK ON.

THE TRUNK LATCH FAILS AND THERE IS NO WAY TO GET INTO YOUR TRUNK FOR SPARE TIRES, MEDICATIONS, SAFETY ITEMS, ETC. WITHOUT DESTROYING AND CUTTING THROUGH THE BACK SEAT. IF YOU GOOGLE 2013 TRUNK LATCH FAILURE, IT IS VERY VERY COMMON. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. WE CARRY LIFE SAVING MEDICATIONS IN OUR TRUNK DAILY. IF SOMEONE WERE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, ONLY TO FIND OUT THE LATCH FAILED, THEY WOULD BE IN DANGER. $400 TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE WHICH HAPPENS REPEATEDLY TO SOME CUSTOMERS IS NOT OK. HOW SAFE ARE SEATS THAT HAVE TO BE CUT THROUGH TO GET TO THE TRUNK LATCH? THEY SAID THE PARTS WON'T SHOW WHERE IT WAS CUT BEHIND THE SEATS, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THAT WOULD AFFECT SAFETY AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ESC AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL OVER AND MANUALLY PULL THE BRAKE PEDAL UP TO RESUME DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V769000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,000.

CAR WAS PARKED AND LOCKED WITH ALL SYSTEMS OFF. LATER I NOTICED BRAKE LIGHTS ON. CALLED HYUNDAI AND INFORMED THEM INQUIRING IF THERE WAS A RECALL ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE TO DEALER AND HAVE THEM PERFORM DIAGNOSTIC TO DETERMINE CAUSE. THEY SAID IT WAS BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH.DEALER CHANGED SWITCH(2),RELAY. PROBLEM STILL EXIST. *JS

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE CAR IS RUNNING.

STEERING CLICKING AND POPPING. NOT REAL NOTICEABLE IN TURNS BUT WHEN GOING STRAIGHT CAR OFTEN DRIFTS. FEELS LIKE 1/4 TO HALF INCH SLACK IN STEERING WHEEL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 30 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE RAN HER VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT DROVE INTO A CONCRETE BARRIER AND THE VEHICLE FLIPPED OVER. THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS SMASHED IN AND HAD TO BE FORCED OPEN. THE FRONTAL AND SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A FRONTAL COLLISION. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A MILD CONCUSSION AND BRUISING TO THE FACE AND UPPER BODY. THE CONTACT WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM VIA AMBULANCE. THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS COMPLETELY SMASHED IN TOWARDS THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER. THE PASSENGER WAS NOT INJURED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED. THERE WERE NO RECALLS; HOWEVER, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL REPAIR ON JANUARY 9, 2018. AN UNKNOWN CARMAX DEALER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND TOWED TO A SCRAP YARD BY THE POLICE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,119.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT BULBS WOULD FAIL TO ILLUMINATE EVERY THREE TO FOUR MONTHS. ALSO, THE TAIL AND BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO WORK EVEN WITH THE NEW BULBS. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V769000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

I'VE BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AS A SECONDARY OWNER SINCE 64K MILES, IT'S NOW AT ABOUT 71K. I KEEP UP WITH MAINTENANCE REGULARLY, BUT LATELY IT'S DEVELOPED A BIT OF A NOTICEABLE TICKING ESPECIALLY WHEN COLD, AND IDLES PRETTY ROUGH WHEN COLD, SEEMS TO GET BETTER AS THE VEHICLE HEATS UP. 3 TIMES, ALL SPACED OUT BY A COUPLE OF MONTHS I'VE ALSO EXPERIENCE A REFUSAL TO START, TRYING AGAIN USUALLY GETS IT TO START BUT ONE OF THOSE TIMES IT ALMOST SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS MISFIRING SINCE IT SEEMED TO STUMBLE AND NEARLY STALL. I'VE TAKEN IT TO TWO SHOPS AND NOT ONE OF THEM AND HAS BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THE UNDERLYING ISSUE LIKE IT'S NOT EVEN THERE, ONE OF THEM ONLY SUGGESTED A BATTERY REPLACEMENT WHICH FUNNY ENOUGH SEEMED TO HELP IT UNTIL RECENTLY, WILL BE TAKING TO HYUNDAI SOON PERHAPS BUT I SEE A TREND OF VERY SIMILAR SYMPTOMS ON HERE.

WHILE DRIVING STEERING MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE AND FEELS LOOSE. I HAD VEHICLE AT FIRESTONE FOR ANOTHER REPAIR AND WAS TOLD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, THEY SAID IT WAS THE COUPLER AND THERE'S NO RECALL ON THIS BUT THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY SAY IT IS VERY COMMON IN THESE CARS, THE COUPLER WEARS DOWN AND YOU COULD LOSE STEERING.

THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A CLICK IN IT . THE EPS LIGHT AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME WENT TOO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAID IT WASN'T A RECALL ON THIS COMMON PROBLEM IT HAPPEN ALL AT ONCE AT CITY SPEED

I HEARD A SOUND WHEN I STARTED TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, LEFT OR RIGHT DIRECTION. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS MODEL CAR HAS A RECALL ABOUT THIS ISSUE

BRAKE LIGHT IS STAYING ON AT ALL TIMES. I EVEN REPLACED THEM AND ONE STILL STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES

DRIVING IN THE PASSING LANE OF THE HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE BECAME UNABLE TO ACCELERATE THEN DECELERATED RAPIDLY. I MADE MY WAY OVER TO THE SHOULDER IN A PANIC AS THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP AND WOULD NOT START. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, OIL LIGHT, AND EPS LIGHT UP AS THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. UPON TAKING TO MY MECHANIC I WAS GIVEN A TECHINCAL SERVICE BULLETIN AND ADVISED TO WORK WITH THE DEALERSHIP. ONCE DIAGNOSED AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW ENGINE AND IT WILL COST $9,000; I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE A YEAR AGO AND STILL OWE 5,800 DOLLARS ON IT. I AM AWARE OF CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AGAINST HYUNDAI FOR THIS ISSUE AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED IN CANADA FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I AM HORRIFIED AT THE LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SYMPATHY EXHIBITED BY HYUNDAI AS I MADE CONTACT WITH CORPORATE ABOUT THE ISSUE. I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE TO EXPERIENCE THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY. THIS ENGINE SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED AT 116,000 MILES AND HYUNDAI KNOWS THAT THOUGH THE APPEAR IGNORANT TO THIS DEFECT WHEN CONFRONTED.

COUPLER

I WAS REAR ENDED AT A HIGH SPEED AND PUSHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, CAUSING ME TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND BREAK MY NOSE.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING STILL.

BRAKE LIGHTS ALL BURNT OUT AT THE SAME TIME INCLUDING THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT - REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT SENSOR AND ALL LIGHT BULBS - WAS NOTIFIED BY ANOTHER DRIVER THE BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT WORK - THE COST FOR REPAIR WAS $135.00 - I CAN SEE MAYBE 1 LIGHT OUT BUT NOT ALL BRAKE LIGHTS OUT AT THE SAME TIME

WHENEVER I START MY CAR, I RECEIVE A MECHANICAL ERROR IN THE DISPLAY. THERE IS ALSO A POPPING NOISE IN MY STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS EITHER STATIONARY OR MOVING, AND I WAS TOLD THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE AT LEAST 76 OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE.

WHENEVER THE VEHICLE TRAVELS OVER SLIGHT BUMPS, OR INDENTATIONS ON THE ROAD, THE REAR END OF THE CAR UNSETTLES AND PUSHES RIGHT. WITH INCREASE IN TRAVEL SPEEDS, THE REAR END GET MORE UNSTABLE. AT HIGHWAY SPEED, IT BECOMES SO BAD THAT WHENEVER THERE IS ANY SLIGHT BUMPS OR SURFACE IMPERFECTION, THE REAR OF THE CAR HOPS RIGHT VIOLENTLY TO THE RIGHT OR STARTS TO FISHTAIL AND SOMETIMES BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE. SPECIALLY ON WET SURFACE. IT IS HARD TO GET THE CAR BACK IN CONTROL WHEN NOT CAREFUL AND MAY CAUSE A MAJOR AND FATAL ACCIDENT. WHICH CHECKING FOR THE ISSUE, IT APPEARS THAT IT IS COMMON ISSUE AMONG ELANTRA OWNERS. IN MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE DRIVING, MY CAR FISHTAILED SO VIOLENTLY THAT TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME AND IT WAS HARD TO CONTROL. FEW TIMES, THE CAR FISHTAILED AND ENDED UP IN RIGHT SIDE LANE WITHOUT ME WANTING IT TO DO THAT. THESE ALL HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IT IS LESS SEVERE ON CITY SPEEDS BUT STILL NOTICEABLY BAD.

AT APPROXIMATELY 93000 MILES, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. AT THE SAME TIME THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS FOR THE PHONE/RADIO ALSO FAILED. APPARENTLY IT IS A COMMON FAILURE WITH 2013 ELANTRAS.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT AT THE 61,000 MILE MARK. TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM AND IT WAS DETERMINED THE THE CLOCK SPRING WAS FOUND DEFECTIVE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THEY WERE WILLING TO REPLACE THE CLOCK SPRING BUT AT A COST OF $495 DOLLARS. I ASKED WHY THEY WERE CHARGING SINCE THIS WAS A MANUFACTURER AND SAFETY PROBLEM AND THEY DETERMINED THAT MY CAR WAS NO LONGER COVERED SINCE I HAD GONE OVER THE 60,000 MILE MARK. I CALLED HYUNDAI USA TO REPORT MY CONCERN FOR THIS SAFETY HAZARD AND ALL THEY TOLD ME WAS THAT THEY COULD NOT COVER IT DUE TO MILEAGE. I AM GREATLY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND SELF KNOWING THAT THE AIRBAG IS DISABLED IF A CAR CRASH WERE TO OCCUR. THIS IS THE ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION THAT I HAVE AND UNFORTUNATELY CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A SAFETY DEFECT AND HAZARD WHICH I FEEL HYUNDAI SHOULD FIX AT NO COST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SUSPECTED THAT THE TIMING SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL COULD HAVE CAUSED THE FAILURE. HYUNDAI OF ANDERSON (1925 PEARMAN DAIRY RD, ANDERSON, SC 29625, (864) 642-0900) MENTIONED THAT THE SPRING WAS A COMMON ISSUE, BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND CHARGE A FEE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

WHEN MOVING STEERING FEEL LIKE ALOT OF PLAY IN IT. WHEN TURNING LEFT TO RIGHT THERE IS A CLICK NOISE ALSO. FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS WRONG ON INSIDE OF STEERING COLUMN . THIS IS HAPPENING WHEN DRIVING AND IF YOUR JUST AT A STAND STILL IN MOVE STEERING

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STAYING ON. TOOK THE CAR TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSIS CODE WAS HIGH RESISTANCE. I AM TOLD THIS IS A BROKEN WIRE. HYUNDAI REFUSED TO PAY THE $360 REPAIR. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY ALSO REFUSED TO PAY THE REPAIR. WHEN THE LIGHT IS STAYING ON, IF IN AN ACCIDENT NONE OF THE AIR BAGS WILL DEPLOY. THE CAR ONLY HAS 67,000 MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. I SPOKE WITH THEIR CUSTOMER CARE DEPT, THEY REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THEIR WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON SOME MODELS, BUT THEY SAY MY CAR ISNT ON THE LIST. I HAVE CONTACTED THE BBBAUTO LINE, AND THE MISSOURI STATE ATTY GENERAL. AT NO TIME IS MONEY MORE IMPORTANT THAN CONSUMER SAFETY. I ONLY ASK FOR THEM TO RIGHTFULLY REPAIR MY CAR. THEY ADVERTISE HOW SAFE THEIR CARS ARE AND THERE ARE 6 AIR BAGS. UNFORTUNATELY THEY DONT WORK. PLEASE HELP AND MAKE OTHER CONSUMERS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM THANK YOU

WHILE STATIONARY LOUD POPPING NOISE HAPPENS WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL EITHER WAY. WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY IF YOU HIT A BUMP IT MAKES A LOUD POPPING SOUND NO MATTER YOUR SPEED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED FOR A LONG TIME WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT PROVIDED.

MY (AND MY SON'S) 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRAS BOTH HAVE BEGUN EXHIBITING THE FAILURE PROCESS THAT WILL INEVITABLY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF THE "ELECTRONIC ASSIST" POWER STEERING. OUR HYUNDAIS NOW HAVE A VAGUE DEAD-SPOT IN THE STEERING WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVED OFF CENTER AT ANY SPEED. YOU CAN FEEL IT THE MOST WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. THE "DEAD-SPOT ANGLE IS GETTING WIDER AND WIDER AS THE RUBBER SLIP-JOINT PART INEVITABLY DISINTEGRATES THIS RUBBER BUSHING IS A SHEAR DEVICE BETWEEN THE MECHANICAL STEERING SHAFT AND AN ELECTRIC MOTOR THAT POWERS THE HYUNDAI'S STEERING RATHER THAN TRADITIONAL HYDRAULIC PUMP POWER STEERING FOUND ON MOST CARS. MY NEIGHBOR'S HYUNDAI WENT FULLY THROUGH THE FAILURE PROCESS THAT RESULTED IN NO POWER ASSISTED STEERING AND A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THE FAILURE OF THIS $1.25 (RETAIL) PART IS SO COMMON IN MANY HYUNDAI MODELS LIKE THE ELANTRA, THAT THE PARTS DEPARTMENT KEEPS A BOX OF THEM CONSTANTLY ON HAND FOR THE INEVITABLE FAILURE OF THIS PART IN EVERY HYUNDAI MODEL THAT USES IT. IT'S A HUGE PROFIT PRODUCER FOR THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT, SO I CAN UNDERSTAND THEIR RELUCTANCE TO REDESIGN THIS PART. HOWEVER, I CAN'T CURRENTLY AFFORD THE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS OF LABOR CHARGE THAT HYUNDAI DEMANDS FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS DEFECTIVELY DESIGNED PART, SO I DON'T LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE SHE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO REACT TO THE LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST AT HIGH SPEEDS. I DRIVE THE CAR AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. HYUNDAI IS WELL AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AND HAD A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON 2010 MODELS BUT ENDED THE RECALL WHEN THEY PROBABLY TOLD THE NHTSA THAT THEY CORRECTED THE PART. IN ACTUAL FACT, THEY DIDN'T FIX THE INHERENT DEFECT AND IF YOU DO A SEARCH ONLINE YOU WILL SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL BEING ENDANGERED BY THIS DEFECT.

MY STEERING WHEEL HAS STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE AND STICKS QUITE OFTEN NOW. IT FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BREAK OFF IF I TURN IT TOO MUCH TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT. SOMETIMES IT MAKES DRIVING VERY DIFFICULT. IT DOES THIS IN A STOPPED POSITION WHEN YOU START TURNING THE WHEEL TO TURN AND WHILE IN MOTION.

AIR BAG LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING, SINCE 8/17/2019. NOW IT IS ON ALL OF THE TIME. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY RECENT ACCIDENTS, OR RECEIVED ANY DAMAGE. RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS PROBABLY A CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. $79 DEALER FEE JUST TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE, BEFORE PARTS AND LABOR TO REPAIR. SEEMS TO BE PRETTY COMMON FOR HYUNDAI VEHICLES OF THIS AGE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL!

STEERING WHEEL RATTLES AND MAKES NOISES WHEN TURNING. FEELS LIKE THERE IS TO MUCH PLAY IN STEERING. WORRIED ABOUT HAVING ISSUES OF SAFETY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THESE PARTICULAR VEHICLES. WHEN SWERVING TO AVOID ANIMAL FELT LIKE I HAD NO CONTROL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ENTERING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AT 3 MPH, THE VEHICLE UNINTENDEDLY ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT THEN CRASHED INTO FOUR PARKED VEHICLES AND A FEW PARKING SIGNS. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUFFERED A BROKEN PATELLA ON THEIR RIGHT LEG, THEY HAD A BAD ABRASION ON THEIR LEFT LEG, A HEMATOMA ON THEIR SKULL AND BLACK EYES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THEIR VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE IN THE OTHER VEHICLES THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS CURRENTLY INSPECTING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED HYUNDAI OF ASHVILLE (860 TUNNEL RD, ASHEVILLE, NC 28805 (828) 298-4911) HOWEVER, THE CONTACT'S INSURANCE COMPANY INSTRUCTED THEM TO NOT CALL THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

STEERING COUPLER FAILURE AT 30,000 MILES. STEERING WHEEL STARTED MAKING CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNED FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. CALLED DEALER, THEY STATED NEEDS REPAIRED ASAP, STEERING WHEEL COULD LOCK AND CAUSE ACCIDENT. FOUND THAT THIS WAS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE AND EXTENDED WARRANTIES (TXX7) WERE ISSUED ON SEVERAL MODELS. MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED. COST TO REPAIR WAS $422.26.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR SUDDENLY EXPLODED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

WHILE SITTING IN THE CAR NOT DRIVING A LOT OF PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL.WHILE DRIVING SAME WAS READING FORUMS THAT IT COULD BE A RUBBER RING. IT ALSO MAKES A CLICKING NOISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A RAW FUEL ODOR ENTERED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROUND ROCK HYUNDAI (2405 N INTERSTATE HWY 35, ROUND ROCK, TX 78664, (512) 920-5397) ON NOVEMBER 15, 2016 TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTOMAX FORD (3301 E CENTRAL TEXAS EXPY, KILLEEN, TX 76543, 254-699-2629). THE DEALER RAN A FULL FUEL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 15964028. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,311.

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME IN RAIN THE WIPERS STOPPED AND RESUMED ABOUT 10 SECONDS LATER. AFTER 5 MINUTES THE WIPERS AGAIN STOPPED AND RESUMED ABOUT 10 SECONDS LATER.

THE HOOD LATCH WAS ACCIDENTALLY RELEASED, AND THEN WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE HOOD FLEW OPEN WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING OVER $2000 IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. OVER 600,000 HYUNDAI MODELS INCLUDING 2013 WERE RECALLED IN 2017 FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE: "HYUNDAI SAID A CABLE FOR THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH CAN CORRODE AND BIND, CAUSING THE LATCH TO REMAIN IN THE UNLATCHED POSITION WHEN THE HOOD IS CLOSED. THE HOOD MAY OPEN WHILE DRIVING IF THE HOOD IS NOT SECURELY CLOSED, OR IF THE HOOD IS INADVERTENTLY RELEASED." I WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS COMPLAINT IS LOGGED FOR THE ELANTRA MODEL AS WELL.

SUNROOF FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON TOLLWAY, SUN SHADE CLOSED WHICH PREVENTED SHARDS FROM FALLING INTO CABIN.

AIR BAG DASHBOARD LIGHT AT FIRST WAS FLASHING AND NOW REMAINS ON SOLID EVERY TIME VEHICL IS STARTED. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SIMILAR MODELS FROM 2010 TO NOW. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE HANDLED AS A RECALL INSTEAD OF LEAVING THE CONSUMER TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ANYWHERE AT 35 MPH OR MORE WITH THE SUNROOF TILTED OR OPEN, MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF AIR COME THROUGH DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW TO THE INSIDE OF CAR. THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO HEAR EMERGENCY SIRENS OR YOUR STEREO. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD!!

FRONT PASSENGER IN NOT ABLE TO BUCKLE SEAT BELT. WHEN YOU TRY TO LATCH THE SEAT BELT INTO THE ORANGE/RED CLASP HOLDER, THE SEAT BELT WILL NOT STAY LOCKED INTO PLACE. NOW WE WAIT TO SEE IF OTHER SEAT BELTS BECOME UNLOCKED WHILE DRIVING OR WHILE IN AN ACCIDENT. WE ARE ALSO DOWN TO ONLY HAVING 4 SEATS AVAILABLE IN THE CAR.

AROUND 5PM ON JULY 18TH AFTER STARTING UP MY PARKED CAR WITH NO ISSUES I PULLED OUT OF A PARALLEL PARKING SPOT AND MADE A LEFT TURN THROUGH A GREEN ARROW AT THE LIGHT. I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AND SLOWLY ACCELERATING TO ABOUT 30MPH. I TOOK MY FOOT OF THE GAS A BIT TO COAST. I WENT TO PUT MY FOOT BACK ON THE GAS BUT BEFORE I COULD WITHIN ABOUT 10SEC THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND CAME TO A HALT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. RIGHT AS THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN ALL OF THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS SUCH AS CHECK ENGINE AND ALL THE OTHER ONES ON THE DASHBOARD FLASHED. THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THE HAZARD LIGHTS DID NOT EVEN COME ON. I IMMEDIATELY PRESSED THE BREAK AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. IT STARTED UP IMMEDIATELY AND I KEPT DRIVING. TOOK CAR TO HYUNDAI DEALER WHO FOUND NO ISSUES AFTER RUNNING A DIAGNOSTIC.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA EQUIPPED WITH HANKOOK TIRES, SIZE: 205/55/R16. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN AIR PRESSURE LEAK IN THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DICK HANNAH VOLKSWAGEN OF PORTLAND (12345 E BURNSIDE ST, PORTLAND, OR 97233) WHERE ALL THE TIRES WERE CHECKED, BUT NO LEAKS WERE FOUND ALTHOUGH WIRES WERE SEEN PROTRUDING FROM THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE. THE CONTACT DECIDED TO HAVE AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES. THEY MECHANIC ALSO NOTICED AN ALIGNMENT FAILURE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE TIRES TO WEAR AGAIN WITH A POSSIBLE BLOWOUT IF LEFT UNCHECKED. THE CONTACT LEFT A MESSAGE WITH THE MANUFACTURER TO CALL HIM BACK. THE CONTACT WILL GIVE THEM A RETURN CALL AFTER SPEAKING WITH NHTSA. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,511. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE, DOT NUMBER, AND TIRE LINE WERE UNKNOWN.

MY VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL 'SHUDDERS' UPON TURNING, WHETHER STATIONARY OR MOVING, ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. I BELIEVE THE EPS TO BE THE PROBLEM AND AM AFRAID THE STEERING WILL SEIZE UP WHILE I AM DRIVING, POTENTIALLY CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD BOTH FOR MYSELF AND FOR OTHERS. THIS HAS OCCURRED EACH TIME THE CAR HAS BEEN IN USE SINCE JULY 10, 2019, WITHOUT EXCEPTION.

"TAKATA RECALL"MY STEERING WHEEL COLUMN RATTLES AND SHAKES WHEN I AM DRIVING. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS GOING TO FALL OFF. THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LOOSE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON TWO YEARS AFTER IT WAS BOUGHT. THE FASTER YOU GO THE WORST IT GETS. IT HAPPENS IN THE CITY AND HIGHWAY.

CLICKING SOUND IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE STEERING COUPLER...A $4.00 PART. THEN THE DEALER SAID THAT THE FIX IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT IT WOULD COST $410.00 TO CHANGE THIS $4.00 PART. THIS FIX IS IN FACT LISTED AS A RECALL ON THE SAME YEAR ELANTRA SEDAN AND THE SONATA MODELS. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHY IS THE REPAIR COVERED ON THOSE VEHICLES MENTIONED ABOVE BUT NOT ON THE ELANTRA GT??? IF IT IS A COVERED REPAIR ON AN ELANTRA SEDAN WHY WOULD IT NOT BE A COVERED REPAIR ON A ELANTRA GT SEDAN?

DRIVING , IN MOTION , ON A CITY STREET, OR HIGHWAY WITHIN A 5 DEGREE TURN, RIGHT OR LEFT FROM CENTER, STEERING WHEEL HAS A CLICKING NOISE LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE. THIS NOISE DOES NOT SEEM TO AFFECT THE STEERING OF SAID VEHICLE BUT IS VERY ANNOYING AND LOUD WHICH MAKES A DISTRACTION WHILE IN MOTION.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. I WAS TOLD IT WILL COST ALMOST $400 TO GET THINGS FIXED. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT'S AFFECTING MY SAFETY TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, A TICKING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND A KNOWN ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A PISTON FLAP. THE MECHANIC DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BUERKLE HYUNDAI (651-484-0231, LOCATED AT 3350 N. HIGHWAY 61, WHITE BEAR LAKE, MN 55110) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED A FIFTY PERCENT DISCOUNT TOWARDS ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

I DROVE MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA TUESDAY EVENING AND PARKED IT AT 9PM. WENT TO START MY CAR TO GO TO WORK AT 730AM AND IT WOULD NOT START. ALL OF THE LIGHTS CAME ON, HEADLIGHTS AND RADIO WORKED THE CAR JUST WOULD NOT START. I TRIED TO START IT 5 MORE TIMES, IT IS PUSH START. I CALLED AND HAD MY CAR TOWED THAT EVENING, THE TOW GUY CAME AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I STILL HAD THE CAR TOWED BECAUSE I HAVE HAD SO MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. IT HAS BEEN AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR 4 DAYS NOW AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. IT HAS STARTED A COUPLE TIMES FOR THE DEALERSHIP BUT NOT CONSISTENTLY. I KEEP CALLING AND ASKING WHAT THE ISSUE IS BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMMENTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL THIS IS NOT FAIR TO US AS HYUNDAI CUSTOMERS. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND PAID FOR BY HYUNDAI.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE RECENTLY HAD MY AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON ON MY CAR. I HAVE WAITED A MONTH OR TWO AND THE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. I HAVE DONE NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY POPULAR MALFUNCTION WITH HYUNDAI SONATAS AND HYUNDAI ELANTRAS FROM THE YEAR OF 2012. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER I ROLLED OVER MY 100,000 MILE WARRANTY SO IT WAS COVERED NO LONGER. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN TO MANY PEOPLE AS THIS IS A VERY POPULAR CAR. I'VE HAD DIAGNOSTICS DONE ON MY CAR AND TOLD IT WAS THE CLOCK SPRING THAT HAS MALFUNCTIONED. REVIEWS ALSO HAVE THE SAME MALFUNCTION.

2015-KEY WON'T RELEASE FROM IGNITION, REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. 2017-SAME ISSUE, CANT REPRODUCE ISSUE, NOT REPLACED BY DEALER. 2018-CAR WON'T START, BATTERY REPLACED. 2019-CAR WON'T START. DASH LIGHTS COME ON, CAR CLICKING BUT WON'T START. JUMPSTARTED CAR. WHILE DRIVING AFTER JUMPSTART THE RADIO INTERMITTENTLY WENT OFF. TOOK IN FOR REPAIR AND ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY WAS REPLACED. NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING, CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF TWICE. 6 DAYS LATER-CAR WON'T START AFTER DRIVING IT 3 MILES, CLICKING AGAIN AND THE ENGINE, OIL, AND CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT ON. HAD TO WALK HOME IN THE DARK IN A HIGH CRIME CITY

2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA, EVERY TIME I STEER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, THERE IS A LOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING. IT MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WHILE TURNING. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF THE VEHICLE BEING TURNED ON OR OFF AND IN ANY GEAR. I CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPT OF THE HYUNDAI DEALER, THEY IMMEDIENTLY KNEW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. HE SAID IT WAS MORE THAN LIKELY A STEERING CUPPLER AND/OR STEERING BUSHING. MY CAR IS A 2013 AND ONLY HAS 59K MILES. THIS IS VERY LITTLE. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND THERE ARE MORE THAN 120 COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS A LONG TIME AGO AS A STEERING PROBLEM IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.

PAINT IS PEELING IN SECTIONS ON BUMPER AND DOOR HANDLES. HAVE SEEN THIS ON OTHER ELANTRAS AND ONLINE

I WAS ON MY WAY BACK FROM CO TO MN. AS I ENTERED LUSK, WY, A STRANGE "CLUNKING" NOISE STARTED TO ARISE FROM THE ENGINE AND SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF WAITED A COUPLE MINUTES AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO DRIVE OR PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. I TOWED THE VEHICLE TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP REPORT STATED THAT THEY WERE "ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AND SHORTLY AFTER THE CRANKSHAFT SEIZED AND THE ENGINE NO LONGER TURNED OVER." THE VEHICLE HAD ONE PREVIOUS OWNER SO THE REPLACEMENT WAS NOT COVERED BY A WARRANTY. I HAD OWNED THE CAR FOR A YEAR AND REPLACED THE OIL EVERY 3,000 MILES. THERE WAS NO POSSIBILTY THAT THE ENGINE FAILURE OCCURED DUE TO NEGLIGENCE ON BEHALF OF CHANGING THE OIL.

WHEN DRIVING OVER 40MPH, CAR FISHTAILS WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. WORSENS IN RAIN. FEELS VERY UNSTEADY AND UNSAFE.

MY SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME SO THERE WAS NO ADDITIONAL DAMAGE. IT LEFT MY SUNROOF SHATTERED WITH A LARGE HOLE IN THE CENTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND DRAINED THE BATTERY. NORTH FREEWAY HYUNDAI (20440 INTERSTATE 45 N, SPRING, TX 77373, (832) 446-4000) DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V574000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BRAKE STOPPER AND SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

THE SRS (AIR BAG) INDICATOR REMAINED LIT AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE AND THE STARTUP ROUTINE OF CHECKING ALL THE SYSTEMS. THAT HAS NEVER STAYED ON UNTIL 6-3-2019, AND NOW IT WON'T GO OFF. I'VE CHECKED THE FUSE TO THE SYSTEM, CHECKED THE SEAT BELT LATCHES, AND THE CONNECTORS. LIGHT STILL REMAINS LIT WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.

I OWN A WHITE 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA AND THE PAINT IS PEELING BACK EVEN THOUGH THERE HAS BEEN NO DAMAGE TO THE AREA. AFTER RETURNING FROM A 120 MILES EXPRESSWAY TRIP THE PAINT IS PEELING AWAY.

2ND OWNER, REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON CAR, NO PRIOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT INDICATING A POSSIBLE ISSUE. CAR JUST OVER 100K MILES, STOPPED COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. HOLE FOUND IN ENGINE BLOCK MOTOR, APPEARS TO HAVE THREW A ROD. ENGINE DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR. WHEN TAKEN TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, WAS NOT GIVEN A FORMAL DIAGNOSIS OF DAMAGE DESPITE ASKING FOR CAUSE OF ENGINE FAILURE. SIMPLY TOLD NEW ENGINE NEEDED RANGING ANYWHERE FROM 4-10K. HYUNDAI DECLINED TO REPLACE ENGINE. HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT SANTA FE'S AND SONATAS WITHIN THE SAME YEAR RANGE HAVE BEEN ISSUED ENGINE RECALLS. BEGINNING TO THINK ISSUES ARE RELATED IN READING OTHER REVIEWS ON ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH 2013 ELANTRA'S. WONDERING WHEN THIS PROBLEM WILL BE RECOGNIZED AS A POTENTIAL RECALL.

SEAT BELT WARNING LITHT IS ONE IN RED ALL THE TIME, IS RELATED TO AIR BAG

2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE FAILURE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED HE PURCHASED A VEHICLE AND A COUPLE WEEKS LATER WAS INFORMED IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. *JS

TAKATA RECALL THE ENGINE SURGING, KNOCKING, RPM WAS GOING UP, AND DOWN, THEN WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO TAKE OFF FROM THE LIGHT LIKE A JET IN WHICH ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO CAR WRECKS, IT WOULD GO BELOW 40MPH, WHILE RPM WOULD BE UP AT 5 WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY THEN NOT GO FORWARD. THE CAR SHAKES SO BAD DUE TO THE SURGING OF THE TRANSMISSION

AS WITH MANY OTHERS, MY 2013 ELANTRA LIKES TO KICK THE BACK END OUT OVER BUMPS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I PASSED AN ACCIDENT LAST WEEKEND ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE A 2013 ELANTRA HAD CRASHED INTO THE CEMENT BARRIER JUST AFTER A BRIDGE ON WET ROADS. MY CAR JUMPED OVER THE SAME BUMP ALTHOUGH I WAS AT A LOWER SPEED BECAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT AND IT WASN'T AS SEVERE AS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IF I WAS GOING FASTER. IT IS MUCH WORSE AS THE CAR GETS OLDER. IT ALSO HAS OTHER ISSUES THAT OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT SUCH AS NOT WANTING TO START (3 TIMES) AND WHITE SMOKE IF YOU ACCELERATE TOO QUICKLY. DEALER HAS BEEN NO HELP.

TAKATA RECALLS. MY RADIO BLUETOOTH DOESN'T WORK NOR DOES THE USB. I'M CONSTANTLY HAVING TO CHANGE REAR LIGHTBULBS. WHEN MY CAR REACHES A CERTAIN SPEED IT STARTS TO SHAKE. MY TIRE SENSOR PUT A HOLE IN MY TIRE. MY SEAT BELTS WILL NOT CONNECT. I'M JUST HAD TO CHANGE THE ALTERNATOR. AND THE ENGINE MAKES A TICKING SOUND.

HOLE DETECTED IN ENGINE OF 6YR OLD VEHICLE AFTER ABRUPTLY STOPPING IN MIDDLE OF ROAD

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

TICKING NOISE FROM ENGINE 82000 MILES ON IT. DEALER SAID AROUND $8000.00 TO REPLACE ENGINE. DEALER SAID EVEN IF I SHOWED I'VE TAKEN CARE OF IT HYUNDAI STILL WONT REPLACE THE FAULTY ENGINE. RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ENGINE PROBLEM IN CANADA WHY NOT HERE IN THE US? SO FRUSTRATING BEING A SINGLE PARENT TRYING TO MAKE ENDS MEET AND NOW HAVING TO DECIDE WHICH IS BETTER TAKE ANOTHER LOAN OUT FOR NEW ENGINE OF AN UPSIDE DOWN LOAN FOR A DIFFERENT CAR. I OWE 7000.00 ON THIS ELANTRA ALREADY AND HAVE HAD IT FOR ONLY A YEAR. TAKEN GOOD CARE OF IT WITH OIL CHANGES EVERY 3000 MILES.SADLY I'M THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS CAR SO NO WARRANTY TO HELP.HEARTBREAKING WHEN I THOUGHT HYUNDAI WAS A GOOD SOLID CAR TO PURCHASE. NOW I'M IN FEAR WHILE DRIVING IF ITS GOING TO DIE ON ME WHILE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT MY BEST FINANCIAL OPTIONS.

WENT AND GOT AN OIL CHANGE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I NOTICED A TICKING/KNOCK IN NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHILE GOING UP SMALL HILLS OR WHILE IDOLING. I HAVE ROUGHLY ABOUT 124,000 MILES

I'M HAVING SERIOUS ENGINE PROBLEMS AT ONLY 44K MILES INCLUDING FAILED IGNITION COILS & SPARKPLUGS-NOW ENGINE STILL MISFIRING & COILS GOING BAD ONE AT A TIME. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER & CANNOT AFFORD ENGINE REPAIRS ESPECIALLY WITH THIS LOW OF MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE & AFTER JUST PURCHASING IT USED FROM CARMAX IN AMHERST, NY AT END OF JANUARY, 2019. I WAS TOLD BY THE REPAIR SHOP THAT THE IGNITION COILS ARE DEFECTIVE. THANK YOU.

ENGINE TICKING NOISE. DEALER SAID METAL SHAVINGS IN ENGINE AND PISTONS KNOCKING. THEY SAID NEED NEW ENGINE. HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND SERVICE.

IN MARCH 2019 TAKEN IN FOR STATE INSPECTION. DURING THE INSPECTION, NOTIFIED THAT THE DOG BONE MOUNT AND LOWER OIL PAN LEAK BY SERVICE ADVISOR AT DEALERSHIP. . THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED LAST AUGUST AND A LEAK IN THE PAN OCCURRED. IT WAS COVERED BY 10 YEAR WARRANTY. PARTS NOT AVAILABLE SO AN ORDER WAS DONE. TOLD THIS NEED TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE ANY OTHER DAMAGE OCCUR. A LEAK IN THE OIL PAN LESS THAN A YEAR AT 69,344 MILES.

STEERING PROBLEM: WHEN DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL CATCHES NEAR THE CENTER POSITION, TAKING SOME ADDITIONAL FORCE TO MOVE IT. IT IS RELATIVELY EASY TO OVER COME, BUT IT FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS GETTING WORSE. MY HYUNDAI DEALER HAS NOT RESPONDED TO MY INQUIRIES. THE POTENTIAL FOR A STEERING LOCKUP MAY EXIST, THUS THIS ALERT.

THE ELECTRICAL VOLUME AND CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WENT OUT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WON'T GO OFF

ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA BECAME SLUGGISH IN ACCELERATING. IT HAS GRADUALLY GOTTEN WORSE. I TRIED FUEL CLEANERS, PREMIUM GAS, AND NOW A TUNE UP REPLACING COIL PACKS AND PLUGS. THE VEHICLE CRAWLS AND DOES NOT ACCELERTE AS QUICK AS IT SHOULD. IT CUTS OFF OR REFUSES TO MOVE WHEN GIVEN GAS AT ALL STOPS. I SWITCH OFF THEN ON AT RED LIGHTS AS IT SEEMS TO WANT TO TAKE OFF WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED. WHEN I REACH ABOUT 50MPH THE RPM HAND GUNS AND THE BOTTOMS OUT TO STAY AT ZERO WITH NO CHANGE IN ACCELERATION. THERE IS NOW A WHIRRING NOISE SPORADICALLY COMING FROM THE ENGINE. AFTER THE TI E UP THE ISSUES CONTINUE WITH CUTTING OFF ,ROUGH IDLING, EXTREMELY SLOW SNAIL ACCELLERATION WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON THEN WENT OFF BUT NOW BACK ON. I CALLED THE DEALER (DENNIS HYUNDAI) TODAY (4/24/19)TO ASK ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE AIRBAG I WOULD ON THE NEW, IESHA THE LADY I TALKED TO SAID THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON MY CAR? WHY NOT IF THE LIGHT IS ON THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DESTROY. WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO?

AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON RANDOMLY. NOW IT STAYS ON.

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

MY 2013 ELANTRA IS HAVING TROUBLE STARTING, IT TAKES SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE CAR TO START, ALL I GET IS A CLICKING NOISE, A MECHANIC HAD ME PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND IT STARTED, THIS WEEK, I SPENT 10 MINUTES PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, NEUTRAL, AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL FOR IT TO START, IT WAS TOWED A COUPLE YEARS BACK AND THE DEALER COULD NOT "REPLICATE" THE ISSUE. ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I HEARD A TICKING SOUND IN MY ENGINE, SEVERAL PEOPLE AND TWO MECHANICS HAVE LISTENED TO IT AND ARE SAYING IT IS EITHER THE VALVES OR LIFTERS. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT THIS MONTH, SO WILL UPDATE WITH MY FINDINGS.

MY 2013 ELANTRA HAS IN THE PAST EXPERIENCED LABORED ENGINE ISSUES, AND SHUTTING DOWN WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. AT MY APPOINTMENT THIS MONTH, I WILL ADVISE THE DEALERSHIP OF THE ISSUE, AS IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS WEEK. I STILL AM UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE DRIVE TRAIN 100,000K MILES, I AM HOPING THIS APPOINTMENT, THE DEALERSHIP WILL LOCATE THE ISSUE AND FIX THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL MADE AN ABNORMAL CLICKING AND RUBBING NOISE, WHICH WAS A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW RUBBER COUPLING FOR THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE MORE THAN TWICE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE NHTSA HOTLINE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS LESS THAN 62,000. *TT *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING A LOT WITH HYUNDAI MODELS AND SAID IT WAS LIKELY DUE TO A "CLOCK SPRING" AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $100 JUST TO EVALUATE, AND THEN POSSIBLY ANOTHER $350 TO FIX. THE GUY I TALKED TO SAID THAT MY AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY UNTIL IT WAS FIXED. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT APPEARS TO BE FAIRLY COMMON.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON STAYS ON AND HAVE SEWN THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH MANY ELENTRAS AND NO RECALL. I E SEEN THIS TO BE AN ISSUE FOR YRS. I HAVE MADE MANY CALLS TO HYUNDAI AND I KEEP GETTING TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP YOUR OUT OF YOUR 60000 MILE WARRANTY AND PAY WHAT EVER FEE IT IS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHEN TURNED IN EITHER DIRECTION, AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED SLOWLY WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,600.

TAKATA RECALL ENGINE HAS TICKING NOISE WHICH HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND STILL ISN'T RECALLED WHEN A TON OF THESE EXACT SAME CARS ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A CLICKING SOUND WHEN STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED RIGHT AND TO THE LEFT WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY AND DRIVING AT A SLOW PACE. STEERING WHEEL CLICKS NOTED WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND BACKING UP SUCH AS SMALL UNEVEN SURFACE LIKE BACKING INTO AND OUT OF GARAGE.

MY ENGINE STARTED MAKING TICKING NOISES AND MY OIL PRSSSURE LIGHT CAME ON. WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE AT $6700! I SEE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. THERE'S ONLY 58000 MILES ON MY CAR

ENGINE TICKING NOISE. DEALER SAID METAL SHAVINGS IN ENGINE AND PISTON KNOCKING. THEY SAID NEED NEW ENGINE. HAD TEGULAR OIL CHANGES ABD SERVICES.

THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED YET, BUT IT WILL, AND TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER 1.8L ENGINES. WHY HAVE YOU NOT RECALLED THE HYUNDAI 1.8L NU ENGINES USED IN THE KIA FORTE AND HYUNDAI ELANTRA'S (ALL TRIMS AND LEVELS FROM 2011-2016). THIS ENGINE HAS THE SAME ISSUES AS THE 2.0L AND 2.4L ENGINES, AND MORE 1.8L ENGINES WERE SOLD THAN THE 2.0L AND 2.4L ENGINES COMBINED. MY ENGINE IS NOW EXPERIENCING 'ROD-KNOCK' AND SINCE I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND MY CAR ONLY HAS 80000 MILES, HYUNDAI WILL NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE THE ENGINE, EVEN THOUGH ITS A KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT. YOU CAN FIND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS ENGINE ON VARIOUS CAR FORUMS AND CONSUMER REPORT WEBSITES, YET YOU FAIL TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND MAKE IT PUBLIC.

ENGINE MAKING TICKING & KNOCKING SOUNDS.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TAIL LIGHTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINING ILLUMINATED EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V574000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CONICELLI HYUNDAI (LOCATED AT WEST 1208 RIDGE PIKE, CONSHOHOCKEN, PA 19428, (610) 624-2029) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY ENGINE STARTED MAKING TICKING NOISES AROUND 75000, TOOK CAR IN FOR 75000 MILE MAINTENANCE AND ASKED SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO CHECK FOR NOISE AND CAR ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. TECH LATER TOLD ME ITS NORMAL AND NOTHING THEY CAN FIND WRONG WITH CAR. NOW I SEE FROM LOOKING ON THE INTERNET ITS A COMMON PROBLEM BUT NOW MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I ALSO WENT IN BEFORE MY WARRANTY ENDED TO HAVE THE 100000 MILE MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, THEY STILL SAID IT NORMAL. TODAY I JUST CONTACT MY LOCAL HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO SEE WHAT OPTIONS I HAVE.

THERE IS ALREADY AN ELANTRA & SONATA STEERING COUPLING RECALL EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUED BUT MY CAR ISN'T UNDER WARRANTY?

WHILE ENGAGING IN NIRMAL DRIVE, ENGINE (APP.75K MILES) STARTING KNOCKING. FIRESTONE REFUSED TO WORK ON DEFECTIVE ENGINE AND STATED THAT OIL WAS DIRTY EVEN THOUGH RECENTLY CHANGED SHORTLY AFTER REGULAR 3K OIL CHANGE. TOOK TO DIFFERENT MECHANIC WHO SAID THERE IS PISTON DETERIORATION/ DAMAGE ALONG WITH LIFTER DAMAGE. ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

STEERING WHEEL SHAFT BROKE WHILE TURNING INTO PARKING LOT.

MY ENGINE RECENTLY DEVELOPED A LOUD TICKING NOISE AT 78,000 MILES. I TOOK IT INTO MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE AND ADVICE ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE THE ENGINE COULD SEIZE UP. THE NOISE LASTED NO LONGER THAN A WEEK BEFORE I TOOK IT IN. THE CAR WAS ALSO REGULARLY SERVICED AND I HAVE RECEIPTS. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND METAL DEBRIS IN THE OIL PAN BUT COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE EXACT ISSUE WITHOUT COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLING THE ENGINE. WHEN LOOKING ONLINE, THIS PROBLEM POPS UP HUNDREDS OF TIMES FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR BUT HYUNDAI HAS NEVER ISSUED A RECALL.

ENGINE STALLED ON ME. EVERY TIME I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL IT JERKS. SOMETIMES WHEN I START THE CAR IT WON'T START. ALSO IF IT TAKES A WHILE TO START IT WILL STALL THE WHOLE TIME WHILE DRIVING. I CAN PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT IT WILL DRIVE LIKE 1 MILE PER MINUTE. I CAN HEAR THE ENGINE ROARING, BUT IT JUST WON'T MOVE. I TOOK IT IN TO HYUNDAI THEY FIXED IT, BUT NOW MY CAR IS STARTING IT AGAIN. I RECENTLY GOT ON THE FREEWAY AND RIGHT WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDDLE IT JERKED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NOW IT'S STARTING TO DO THE SAME THING TAKING A WHILE TO START, AND STALLING OUT OF NOWHERE. I CAN ALSO HEAR ALMOST LIKE A KNOCK AND THE GEARS SHIFTING WHEN I'M DRIVING, WHEN I STOP AND GO I CAN HEAR EVERYTHING. I'M AFRAID TO GO ANYWHERE FAR IN MY CAR BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. I THINK THIS ENGINE NEED TO BE ASSESSED BECAUSE THIS IS NOT NORMAL AT ALL.

A KNOCKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE THAT INCREASES IN FREQUENCY AS THE ENGINE RPM INCREASES. REDUCED POWER AND/OR HESITATION AND VIBRATION. IN MOTION THE KNOCKING COMES FROM THE ENGINE AND WHEN STOPPED IT HESITATION AND VIBRATE

ON FEBRUARY 23, 2019 I WAS A PASSENGER IN 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA LIMITED, WHEN SUDDENLY THE GLOVE BOX OPENED AND FELL IN MY LAP. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND WE WERE ON HIGHWAY. I WAS TRYING TO CLOSE IT BACK, BUT THE LATCHES ON THE SIDES OF THE GLOVE BOX WERE NOT LATCHING. IN CASE OF COLLUSION IT MAY BE VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. BESIDES, NOBODY WANTS TO HAVE A GLOVE BOX IN YOUR LAPS. *TR

STARTED HEARING A TICKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE ONCE IT TURNED COLD. WOULD HEAR THE NOISE WHEN I STARTED UP THE CAR FROM A STATIONARY POSITION AND NOISE WOULD ACCELERATE AS I PRESSED ON THE GAS AND DECREASE AS I SLOWED DOWN. TOOK TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE METAL SHAVINGS PROBABLY FROM THE ROD BEARINGS IN THE ENGINE. TOLD I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE AND PROVIDED A COST OF $8,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED AND THE ENGINE REVVED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED.

MY 2013 ELANTRA SEDAN BUILT IN ALABAMA ON JUNE 14, 2013, AND EQUIPPED WITH A 1.8L ENGINE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT CUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF A CANYON, IN TRAFFIC. THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. THE CARS STEERING LOCKED UP AND COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR MORE THAN TO VEER IT OFF THE ROAD WITH THE FORWARD MOMENTUM FROM COMING DOWN A HILL. I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE OIL LEVEL BEING TOO LOW. I HAD JUST HAD IT REPLACED AND CHECKED ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE. THEN I WAS TOLD IT WAS A CONNECTING ROD THAT HAD BROKEN. I'VE LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP AT THE MOMENT BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND WILL NOT PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A REPAIR THAT WOULD BE COVERED IN CANADA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOOSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT SEEMED AS IF THE STEERING WHEEL COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000.

CLICKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE. DELAWR SAID ENGINE NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO METAL SHAVINGS IN THE ENGINE.

2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT: NO CONTROL OF THE CAR WHEN YOU HIT BUMPS OR CRACKS IN THE ROAD VERY HARD TO KEEP IN THE LANE YOUR DRIVING IN THIS IS AT ALL SPEEDS ON ANY CITY ROAD OR HIGHWAY TEN TIMES WORSE ON SNOW AND WIND. THE CAR ONLY WORKS PROPER ON A BRAND NEW ROAD WITHOUT WIND, SNOW, ICE, RAIN, CRACKS, OR BUMPS AND SHOULD ONLY BE SOLD AS A RACE CAR NOT A PUBLIC STREET DRIVING CAR! I AM SCARED FOR MY LIFE EVERY TIME I HAVE TO DRIVE THIS CAR! I HAVE ALMOST LOST CONTROL THOUSANDS OF TIMES! HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE HAVE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS CAR!

TAKATA RECALL WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL I REALIZED THAT THE EPS CONTROL MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A LOUND NOISE WHEN TURNING.

WHILE DRIVING ON BELTWAY DOING 55 MPH THE VEHICLE WON'T ACCELERATE AND ALSO MAKES SOUNDS WHEN PUSHING ON GAS THE RPM WILL BE MOVING BACK AND FRONT EVEN WHEN CAR NOT MOVING. CAR SMELLS LIKE SOMETHING IS BURNING. THE CAR WILL START TO SLOW DOWN AND SHUT IT SELF OFF.ALL LIGHTS WILL TURN ON THEN I SHUT CAR OFF COMPLETELY THEN TURN BACK ON AND IT STARTS UP LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THEN WHEN SITTING STILL AT A LIGHT THE CAR SHUT OFF.

THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SEVEN TIMES TO HAVE THE BRAKE LIGHT BULBS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT HAD SUDDEN SURGE OF ACCELERATION CONTINUE WHILE IN NEUTRAL AND PARK. REQUIRING TO TURN OFF ENGINE. EXCESSIVE RPM CAUSED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TO MALFUNCTION. CAUSING LACK OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE.

WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 2017 FROM DEALERSHIP. ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASE AND LESS THAN 1000 MILES AFTER PURCHASE, AND LESS THAN 64000 MILES TOTAL, THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO OIL ISSUES WITH THE CYLINDERS. ADEQUATE OIL WAS IN CAR AND DEALER INSISTED THAT ALL CHECKS HAD BEEN PERFORMED PRIOR TO SALE. I HAVE RECENTLY READ ABOUT RECALLS FOR OTHER KIA AND HYUNDAI VEHICLES DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE PROBLEMS FOR THE SAME REASON. I AM REPORTING THIS ISSUE IN HOPE THAT THIS AGENCY WILL CONSIDER INVESTIGATING TO SEE IF THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO HYUNDAI ELANTRAS. THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE REPEATING AMONG OTHER VEHICLES MADE BY HYANDAI IN THE SAME TIME FRAME MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED. I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE REPAIR THAT WAS PERFORMED BECAUSE NOW THERE ARE ADDITIONAL RECALLS BY HYUNDAI AND KIA FOR THE ENGINE REPAIRS THAT WERE PERFORMED ON THE OTHER RECALLED MODELS. THE DEALERSHIP AND HYUNDAI DID COVER MOST OF COST OF ENGINE REPLACEMENT BUT I WANT TO BE SURE THE REPAIR WAS SAFELY DONE. THERE ARE REPORTS OF ENGINE FIRES RELATED TO HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PIPES AND FUEL LEAKS.

VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL MAKES NOISE AND JERKS WHEN TURNING, EITHER AT A STAND STILL OR DRIVING. I AM IN FEAR OF MY LIFE. HYUNDAI RESPONDED VIA EMAIL AND BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. THEIR EMAIL DATED 1/9/19 INDICATES MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT "CAMPAIGN TXX7," AND THAT "WEAR OF THE COUPLING DOES NOT AFFECT THE ABILITY TO STEER OR CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE." MY MOTHER IN LAW ALSO HAS A 2013 ELANTRA WHERE THE PART AND LABOR WERE COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE ISSUE IS WIDELY EFFECTING VEHICLES BASED ON A GOOGLE SEARCH. THEY WANT $125 TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE AND I ADVISED THEM THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE A ROBO CALL TO POTENTIAL VICTIMS INFORMING OF THEM OF THIS WELL KNOWN ISSUE. THAT PROCESS WOULD HAVE COST THEM NOTHING. MY MOTHER IN LAW SPENT ABOUT $1,000 IN REPAIRS TO FIX THE ISSUE BEFORE MY CAR, SHORTLY THEREAFTER, HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND I GOOGLED IT LEARNING HOW PREVALENT IT IS. HER MECHANIC CALLED HYUNDAI WHO ACTED LIKE THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS BROUGHT UP TO THEM. SHE WAS FEARFUL TO DRIVE HER VEHICLE AND BORROWED A CAR TO GO TO WORK WHILE SHE HAD THE WORN COUPLING ISSUE. HYUNDIA IS PUTTING PEOPLES' LIVES AT RISK DOWNPLAYING, NOT INFORMING, AND REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEPTH OF THE PROBLEM. BOTH MY MOTHER IN LAWS CAR (NOW FIXED) AND NOW MINE, ARE DIFFICULT TO STEER WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED.

TAKATA RECALL THE DROVERS SIDE SEAT BELT POPS OUT. IT WILL BE IN, LOCKED AND AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL JUST RELEASE. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE.

TAKATA RECALL THE OPERATOR OF THE 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN FROM THE RIGHT LANE AND STRUCK THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS HIT IN THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE AND FORCIBLY PUSHED INTO THE STREET CURB. THIS RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANT FRONT END DAMAGE AND THE SUSPENSION OF ALL FOUR TIRES. THE DRIVER WAS INJURED AND REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION ON THE SCENE. THE DRIVER'S HEAD IMPACTED THE DRIVER'S WINDOW, DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE SIDE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY, RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT BRUISING AND A SERIOUS CONCUSSION. THE DRIVER REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM. DRIVER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CONCUSSION AND UPON FURTHER CARE A TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY. THE DRIVER HAS SUSTAINED VISION LOSS AND HEARING LOSS/TINNITUS REQUIRING HEARING AIDS. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET WHILE THE HYUNDAI WAS IN MOTION HEADED STRAIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MPH. THE AT FAULT VEHICLE, A FULL SIZE FORD SUV WAS DRIVING IN EXCESS OF THE SPEED LIMIT AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. THE ACCIDENT WAS WITNESSED BY THE CITY OF PORTLAND FIRE ENGINE COMPANY AND RESCUE TEAM. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. APPROXIMATELY $6,000 IN DAMAGES OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTICS AT A RATE OF $128 PER HOUR AND WAS QUOTED AT LEAST 2.5 HOURS TO ASSESS THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 44,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AS SCHEDULED.

SECURITY SYSTEM GOES OFF WHEN THE CAR IS LOCKED EVERY COUPLE HOURS NO ONE AROUND THE CAR. IF THE CAR IS LEFT UNLOCKED IT DOESN'T HAPPEN

'TAKATA RECALL' WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED IF I HIT A SLIGHT BUMP OR IRREGULARITY IN THE ROAD REAR END OF CAR JUMPS AROUND. ON WET OR SLICK ROADS IT IS EVEN WORSE. FROM THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE. I NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH STABILITY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS UNSURE AS TO WHAT WAS CAUSING THE CAR TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS JUMPING AFTER HITTING SMALL BUMPS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I UNDERSTAND NOW THAT IT IS THE SUSPENSION THAT IS CAUSING THIS INSTABILITY. THE BUMPS I HIT ON THE HIGHWAY ARE NOT MAJOR BUMPS, THESE ARE JUST THE SMALL ONES THAT TRANSITION FROM SECTION TO SECTION OF THE HIGHWAY SO I KNOW IT ISN'T THE ROAD I DRIVE ON, IT IS THE CAR. ALSO WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, ANYWHERE FROM 45-65MPH THE DRIVING STABILITY FEELS UNSAFE AND THE VEHICLE WAVERS BACK AND FORTH ON THE HIGHWAY, HAVING TO ALWAYS CORRECT IT. WHEN IT IS WINDY IT IS EXTREMELY WORSE. I CANNOT BELIEVE HYUNDAI MADE A CAR THIS UNSAFE. DRIVING THIS WINTER I HAVE ONLY HOPED THAT THE JUMPING AND WAVERING DOESN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE TO FEEL THAT WAY IN A VEHICLE. THE COMPANY SHOULD BE MADE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE ISSUES. THIS HAPPENS SO OFTEN AT LEAST OVER 20 TIMES IN JUST THIS YEAR I'M AFRAID FOR MY LIFE AND SO ARE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE

'TAKATA RECALL' I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH AND LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. TO REGAIN CONTROL I HIT MY BRAKES AND CONTINUE MY JOURNEY TO WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND NOW I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR SO I CARPOOL WITH A FRIEND TO WORK WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. I DON'T FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE MY OWN CAR

I TRIED TO START MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA LIMITED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT DEPRESS AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START BUT MADE AN ELECTRONIC CLICKING NOISE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW BUT BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. IT HAS STRANDED ME AMD MY INFANT CHILDREN TWICE THIS PAST YEAR AND MYSELF TWICE. THE DEALER HAS MADE SUGGESTIONS BUT NONE WORK. LOOKED ONLINE AND HUNDREDS OF OTHER OWNERS OF ALL MODELS HAVING STARTING ISSUES. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHYISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED BUT I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TRADE MY CAR IN FOR NEW ONE AS I NEED RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION FOR MY CHILDREN. ALL INSTANCES OCCURRED AFTER VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN, PARKED AND STARTING ATTEMPTS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. IT MAY HAVE NOT RECIEVED MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS PAGE, HOWEVER, ONLINE BLOGS ARE FULL OF SAME ISSUE WITH AN LARGE AMOUNT OF HYUNDAI OWNERS.

FREE PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL BETWEEN 11 AND 1. VERY DANGEROUS ON SKINNY FREEWAY LANES...VEHICLE ALMOST DRIFTED INTO BARRIER WALL ON GROOVED PAVEMENT IN CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITHOUT ABILITY TO SAFELY CORRECT AND MAINTAIN LANE. IN RESEARCHING, APPEARS AS RECALL ON OTHER MODELS, BUT NOT ON THIS MODEL. SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE ON 12/17/18 AT DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE $2.00 FAULTY PART. NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THE LABOR BILL TO REPAIR VEHICLE TO SAFELY MANEUVER THE DAILY FREEWAY TRAVELING CONDITION. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY COST LIVES AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH THE MANUFACTURER.

THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN STATIONARY. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SAW IT IS A COMMON COMPLAINT ON HYUNDAI CARS. WE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND WERE ADVISED IT WAS THE COUPLING. HYUNDAI RECALLED THE SONATA AND REPLACED THE COUPLING BUT DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL ON THE ELANTRA. THE COST TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE PART $350.00

MY BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK, I'VE HAD THEM REPLACED 3 TIMES. MY RPMS DO NOT WORK WHEN I PUSH THE GAS, THE VEHICLE WON'T GO MORE THAN 20 MPH, WHEN CHANGING MY GEARS, IT DOESN'T WORK, AND WHEN I AM AT A STOP LIGHT OR JUST SITTING IN A PARKING LOT WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING IT TURNS OFF ON IT'S OWN. WHEN I TRY TO START THE VEHICLE IT WON'T TURN MOST THE TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED HEAD AND NECK INJURIES AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SUSTAINED HEAD, NECK AND LEFT SHOULDER INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A TOW LOT. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,569.

WHILE DRIVING AT A MODERATE SPEED OF 45 MPH MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA 2 DOOR COUPE SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS SUDDEN FAILURE CAUSED THE STEERING TO HESITATE AND BE A LITTLE ERRATIC. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO GO THE FEW MILES TO HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. UPON TAKING THE CAR TO MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER, THEY IMMEDIATELY KNEW WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM WITHOUT EVEN EXAMINING THE CAR, A DEFECTIVE STEERING COUPLING IN MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING (MDPS). MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 11,750 MILES AND IS FOUR MONTHS PAST THE FIVE YEAR OVERALL WARRANTEE WHEN THE STEERING FAILURE OCCURRED LAST MONTH. IT CERTAINLY WAS NOT DUE TO EXCESSIVE WARE. SOME CAR OWNERS WERE ADVISED BY LETTER FROM HYUNDAI AND KIA OF THE PENDING PROBLEM I WAS NOT. ANY STEERING DEFECT IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS AND THIS ONE IS PERVASIVE ACROSS PRODUCT LINES. THIS PROBLEM IS SERIOUS ENOUGH THAT IT IS RECOGNIZED BY AN EXTENDED WARRANTEE BY HYUNDAI AND KIA IN VARIOUS MODELS OF ELANTRA, SONATA, FORTE AND OTHER MODELS PRODUCED FROM 2007 ' 2015. SEARCH WEBSITE 'HYUNDAI STEERING COUPLER'. THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO RECOGNIZED BY THE MANUFACTURER'S ONLINE WEBSITE HYUNDAI-FORUMS.COM AS FAR BACK AS 2007. THE OLD PART WAS REPLACED BY A NEWLY ENGINEERED PART IN 2015, PART NUMBER 56315 2K000FFF. HOWEVER, THIS SAFETY ACTION DOES NOT APPLY TO MY ELANTRA 2 DOOR COUPE, WHICH USES THE SAME PART. PERHAPS THIS IS DUE TO INSUFFICIENT COMPLAINTS FILED, OR LOWER PRODUCTION, AND LIMITED YEARS THAT THE COUPE WAS PRODUCED. THIS SAFETY INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE DISSEMINATED TO ALL ELANTRA OWNERS.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 65MPH, THE REAR PORTION OF THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF SUDDENLY SHATTERED. IT DID NOT APPEAR TO BE HIT BY ANYTHING, AND THERE WERE NO SIGNIFICANT BUMPS ON THE ROAD.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A CLANKING NOISE AS IF SOMETHING IS LOOSE IN IT. WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK AND YOU TURN THE WHEEL IT CLICKS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES SEIZED AND THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY VEERED INTO OPPOSING LANES. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND PARKING BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. MIDWAY HYUNDAI POST FALLS (1665 EAST EDMONTON AVENUE, POST FALLS, IDAHO 83854, (208) 619-2500) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

INTERMITTENT ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATION. HAPPENS ONLY AFTER THE "VEHICLE CHECK IN PROGRESS". CAR HAS STARTED TO RUN ROUGH BOTH WHILE ACCELERATING AND AT A STOP. ACTS LIKE IT WILL SHUT OFF. HAVING TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PAT THE GAS TO KEEP IT RUNNING. THERE IS A TSB FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NO ACTIVE RECALL. CONSTANT RUN AROUND AT THE SERVICE CENTERS. THEY SAY ITS NORMAL FOR IT TO RUN ROUGH. ALSO THE RUBBER STEERING COUPLER WENT BAD. WAS MAKING A THUD NOISE WHEN STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED. ALSO A TSB FOR THIS....NO RECALL. BUT WAIT THERES MORE! THE CLOCK SPRING IS ALSO BAD! TSB FOR THIS TOO! BAD CLOCK SPRING RESULTS IN THE LOSS OF POWER TO THE BUTTONS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN I REPLACED THE STEERING COUPLING, I FORGOT TO PLUG IN A WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE WHEEL AND THE BUTTONS STARTED WORKING AGAIN BUT HAD NO POWER STEERING. PLUGGED THE HARNESS BACK IN AND HAD STEERING BUT THE BUTTONS NO LONGER WORKED. PRETTY SURE HYUNDAI IS UPLOADING ERROR CODES AND GIVING PEOPLE THE RUN AROUND IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET MORE MONEY. RECALL THIS CRAP ALREADY BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS. HOLD THIS COMPANY RESPONSIBLE FOR SELLING CRAP TO PEOPLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL TAPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. OCCASIONALLY, THE ENGINE REVVED AND WOULD SEIZE MOMENTARILY BEFORE THE CONTACT COULD DRIVE OFF. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A CLANKING NOISE AS IF SOMETHING IS LOOSE IN IT. WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK AND YOU TURN THE WHEEL IT CLICKS.

DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING

SINCE BUYING THIS CAR MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON. IT IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENT. IT IS CAUSING MY CAR TO SLOW DOWN WITHOUT ME USING THE BRAKES BY AS MUCH AS 10-15 MILES PER HOUR. AT THIS TIME I'M NOT SURE IF MY BREAK LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON.

MY STEERING IS MARKING A POPPING SOUND WHEN TURNING TOOK MY CAR TO LOCAL FIRESTONE TO FIND OUT IT IS A LITTLE RUBBER SPIDER GEAR THAT IS RECALLED ON OTHER HYUNDAI CARS BUT NOT MINE I'M WANTING TO KNOW HOW CAN THIS BE AS IT'S THE SAME PARTY NUMBER AS RECALLED IN OTHER HYUNDAI CARS

VEHICLE'S ENGINE MAKING A TAPPING NOISE FROM UNDER HOOD ON PASSENGER SIDE WHEN ENGINE WAS STARTED. NOISE INCREASED WITH ACCELERATION. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A CERTIFIED MASTER MECHANIC . MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE CONCERN. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 78096 MILES. MASTER MECHANIC DETERMINED THE VEHICLE NEEDS NEW ENGINE AND RECOGNIZED THAT THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT OCCUR ON A VEHICLE WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. MECHANIC RECOMMENDED THAT VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM REPLACE ENGINE UNDER MAJOR CONCERN OF SAFETY ISSUES : VEHICLE STALLING. HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP HAS VEHICLE BUT AS OF DATE HAS NOT ANSWERED TO REPLACING DEFECTIVE ENGINE UNDER A WARRANTY.

STEERING WHEEL HAS PLAY WHEN TURNED AND MAKES A THUMP/CLANKING NOISE.

IN NOVEMBER OF 2016 NOTICE CAR BEGAN TO HESITATE AND COMING HOME FROM A DRIVE THE VEHICLE DIED IN FRONT OF HOUSE. TOOK TO HYUNDAI VACAVILLE AND THEY STATED IT WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM. UPDATE APPLIED, DROVE HOME AND NOTICED TICKING FROM ENGINE. DROVE TO WORK AND NOTICED LOWER GAS MILEAGE AND CONTINUED TICKING. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THIS TIME IT WAS THE FUEL INJECTORS AND TO PUT IN CLEANER. DROVE HOME AND THEN TO WORK AND NOTICED TICKING GETTING LOUDER. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO DEALER AND THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND HAD TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET WITH A RE MANUFACTURED FACTORY ENGINE WHICH WAS INSTALLED AROUND 12/23/2016. SINCE THEN STILL NOTICE A TICKING WITH NEW ENGINE AFTER PUTTING ABOUT 40,000 MILES ON IT AND CONCERNED THAT I WAS PROVIDED WITH A BAD ENGINE AGAIN. I KEEP UP WITH MAINTENANCE AS I DID WITH THE FIRST ENGINE WITH OIL CHANGES EVERY 3,000 MILES INSTEAD OF THE THE RECOMMENDED 7,500. I HAVE NOTICED MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF OWNERS OF MODEL YEAR 2013 WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. THE FAILURE WITH THE FIRST ENGINE WAS AT 127, 565 WHICH I BELIEVE SHOULD STILL NOT HAVE HAPPENED AS I HAVE A 2010 ACCENT WITH 180,000 AND NO PROBLEMS, AND HAD SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES THAT WENT BEYOND 200,000 WITH NO ISSUES. I NOTICED THE TICKING NOISE BACK THEN TO BE PRONOUNCED WHEN ACCELERATING UP HILL AND WITH CURRENT ENGINE USUALLY HAVE TO WARM IT UP SO THAT WHEN I DRIVE I DO NOT HEAR ANY TICKING.

THERE IS A CLUNKING NOISE AT THE 11:00 AND 1:00 POINTS OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS OCCURS IN MOTION AS WELL AS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE COUPLER IN THE STEERING WHEEL IS DETERIORATING AND CAUSING THE PROBLEM, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT.

I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION ON MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. I HAVE BEEN IN 2 NEAR ACCIDENTS IN THIS CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN JULY OF 2018. MY REGULAR MECHANIC THOUGHT IT WAS A CAR MAT PROBLEM AND REMOVED THE MAT. THIS WAS AFTER MY CAR ACCELERATED SO HIGH THAT I JUMPED THE CURB AND LANDED IN THE YARD. IT DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I PUT IT IN PARK. I HAVE WITNESSES WHO SAW THIS HAPPEN. I DROVE THE CAR FOR 2 MORE WEEKS WITHOUT THE CAR MAT AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME WITH MY NIECE IN THE CAR. IT DID NOT STOP UNTIL I PUT IT IN PARK. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP BUT THEY DO NOT TAKE THE CAR OUT DRIVING ENOUGH TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEY WANT ME TO PICK UP THE CAR. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND FIND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI VEHICLES. WHEN IS SOMEBODY GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPOT IN MY APARTMENT BUILDING. THE SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING AND TRIED TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT WHEN IT HAPPENED. HYUNDAI DOESN'T GIVE A [XXX]. THEY THINK THAT AFTER DRIVING FOR OVER 40 YEARS, I AM SUDDENLY GETTING MY PEDALS MIXED UP!!!!! TELL THAT TO [XXX] WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!! INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

MY CAR WAS PARKED ON THE SIDE OF MY DRIVEWAY AND ON MONDAY MORNING, I PUT MY KEY IN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR CRANKED BUT DID NOT WANT TO TURN OVER. THE NIGHT BEFORE, MY CAR WAS RUNNING FINE. I'M LUCKY THAT IT HAPPENED AT HOME AND NOT STRANDED ELSEWHERE. I CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS AND CHECKED THE FUSES AND SENSORS AND STILL IT DID NOT WORK. AFTER READING OTHER FORUMS, THERE WERE ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. A MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD CHANGE THE IGNITION SWITCH. I WENT TO HYUNDAI PARTS TO BUY ONE AND THE GUY WHO WORKS THERE TOLD ME THAT THE SWITCH IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND IS MADE OF PLASTIC THAT CAN EASILY CAUSE CRACKS OR CONDENSATION WHERE WATER CAN GO INSIDE. IN ADDITION, HE MENTIONED HYUNDAI KNEW ABOUT THIS AND MADE AN UPDATED PART WHICH IS MADE OF METAL. KNOWING THAT THIS WAS FAULTY AND HYUNDAI HAD HID THE INFORMATION, THE IGNITION SWITCH SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE.

MY STEERING COUPLER HAS DETERIORATED TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM ONLINE

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

ELECTRONIC STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON, AND SLOWED THE VEHICLE AT RANDOM MOMENTS. AFTER TWO DAYS, STEERING BEGAN MAKING A "POP" SOUND WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT. BROUGHT TO DEALER AND CONFIRMED THE ISSUE IS WITH THE RACK AND PINION. CAR HAS 40K MILES AND IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. NO ACCIDENTS AND USED ONLY TO COMMUTE <10 MILES TO AND FROM WORK. THIS IS CONSIDERED OUTSIDE OF HYUNDAI'S 5 YEAR WARRANTY (EVEN THOUGH I AM WITHIN THE MILEAGE CONSIDERATION) SO IS NOT COVERED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING, THE SEAT BELT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HYUNDAI OF ST. AUGUSTINE (2898 U.S. 1, ST AUGUSTINE, FL 32086, (904) 797-7800) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSING THE SEAT BELT INDICATOR TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

RANDOMLY LAST WEEK, THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT APPEARED ON MY DASH. THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AND ON ABOUT EVERY 5-10 MINUTES, WHILE DRIVING AND STATIONARY. SOME DAYS, THE LENGTH OF TIME IT WAS OFF WOULD EXTEND LONGER THAN OTHER. OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS, THE LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON CONSISTENTLY. I READ SIMILAR ISSUES ONLINE FROM OTHER 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA OWNERS WHO STATED THAT THE DRIVER AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THIS LIGHT IS ON IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. YET, I FOUND NO RECALLS ONLINE. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PRIOR ISSUES WITH FALSE WARNING LIGHTS AND THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT IN OVER 4 YEARS. THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO MAINTAIN THESE SAFETY FEATURES IN MY CAR SO I WILL NOT PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT WAS NOT CAUSED DUE LACK OF OWNER DILIGENCE. HOWEVER, I NEED TO ENSURE MY CAR WILL DEPLOY ANY SAFETY FUNCTIONS IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT WHEN TRIGGERED.

TIMING CHAIN IS DAMAGED AND CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND HAVE KEPT UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE

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

I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED TO TAKATA RECALL. BUT THE ELECTRONICS CONTROLLING THE AIR BAG AND CRUISE CONTROL ARE NOT FUNCTIONING! THE POOR DESIGN OF THE STEERING COVERS SQUEEZE THE WIRES THAT ARE BENT INTO THE CONNECTOR CAUSING THESE CIRCUITS NOT TO FUNCTION. AT THIS POINT, THE RED LIGHT FOR THE AIR-BAG IS ON ALL THE TIME WHICH MEANS THE IT WILL NOT DEPLOY CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE. THIS STEERING COVER DESIGN IS COMMON ON ALL ELANTRA MODELS SO WE SUSPECT THE PROBLEM COULD IMPACT SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF CARS. I MANAGED TO TEST THE PROBLEM, BUT PULLING THE COVER OFF AND TESTING THE WIRES. WHEN THE COVER IS PULL AWAY FROM THE BODY OF THE STEERING, THE CIRCUIT FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS! HYUNDAI SHOULD RE-LOCATE THE PLUG WHERE THESE WIRES ARE CONNECTED FURTHER LOWER TO AVOID THESE WIRES GETTING SQUEEZED. AND FOR THE CURRENT MODELS, A SHORTER CONNECTOR COULD REMEDY THIS PROBLEM BY PREVENTING THE WIRES FROM GETTING SQUEEZED.

2013 ELANTRA GT, 5 YEARS OLD AT 109K MILES. WE BOUGHT IT USED 3 MONTHS AGO. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON A WEEK AGO. THE PROBLEM IS THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE ON THIS TYPE AND YEAR VEHICLE. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THIS WHICH EXTENDS THE CLOCK SPRING WARRANTY TO 15K MILES AND UNLIMITED MILEAGE BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT OUR CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY BASED ON THE VIN. THE DEALER TOLD US TO CALL HYUNDAI CORPORATE AT 800-633-5151 AND ASK FOR "GOOD WILL" WARRANTY COVERAGE WHICH I DID AND I HAVE A CASE OPEN # 11648781. THE REPRESENTATIVE ON THE PHONE WAS EVASIVE AND NOT WILLING TO DO MUCH. THE SAME WITH THE DEALER. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY NHTSA ID NUMBER IS 10115229, THE MANUFACTURER SERVICE BULLETIN # IS 5NP-E9R9G-08 (ATTACHED HERE). THE ISSUE COVERS 2011-2014 ELANTRA AND 2011-2013 SONATA MODELS. THE CLOCK SPRING PART # IS EXACTLY THE SAME BETWEEN THESE MODELS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY SOME CARS ARE COVERED AND SOME NOT. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM TO TRIGGER EXTENDED WARRANTY, ALL CARS IN THE AFFECTED YEARS MUST BE COVERED. THE CLOCK SPRING SHOULD LAST HE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, THUS THE 15 YEARS EXTENDED WARRANTY. HYUNDAI SHOULD DO GOOD BY ITS CUSTOMERS AND FIX ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. EXTENDED WARRANTY IS MUCH CHEAPER THAN A FULL BLOWN RECALL. ONE LAST THING, THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IS DISABLES THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM. THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS ARE ALSO AFFECTED, THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON A MIXED UP, THE CANCEL BECAME SET FOR EXAMPLE WHICH COULD BE QUITE DANGEROUS. OTHER BUTTONS DON'T WORK AT ALL OR ALL THE TIME. THIS IS MY SECOND HYUNDAI VEHICLE AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE THE LAST. VERY FRUSTRATING.

STEERING WHEEL HAS EXCESSIVE PLAY AND MAKES NOISE WHEN TURNING TO RIGHT, FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE. THIS OCCURS EVEN WHEN STATIONARY. FEELS VERY UNSAFE AND WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE CAR. PROBLEM SUDDENLY STARTED AFTER ONLY 31770 MILES. IN OVER 40 YEARS OF DRIVING AND OWNING 15 VEHICLES NEVER HAVE EXPERIENCED SUCH A STEERING PROBLEM. TOOK IT INTO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED A FLEXIBLE COUPLING , PART ONLY COST $1.26 BUT LABOR COST WAS $270.00. THIS IS A SAFETY RELATED PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY CAR COMPANY EITHER UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY OR SAFETY RECALL. LOOKS LIKE A NEW BETTER DESIGNED COUPLING HAS REPLACED THE ORIGINAL. HYUNDAI SHOULD NOTIFY OWNERS BEFORE THE PROBLEM OCCURS .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAG MIGHT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A SPRING BEHIND THE AIR BAG WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

STEERING WHEEL HAS A CLUNKING NOISE. IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS GOING TO COME LOOSE. IT SHOWS THAT THERE IS A SMALL GEAR INSIDE THE STEERING MOTOR, WHICH BREAKS APART LITTLE BY LITTLE, UNTIL YOU CANNOT LONGER MANEUVER THE CAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. TALK ABOUT AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, IT FAILED TO FULLY ENGAGE AND REQUIRED THE CONTACT TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL OR APPLY FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING OVER ROUGH TERRAIN, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE SWAYED ABNORMALLY. THE DEALER (JOE PECHELES HYUNDAI, 201 GREENVILLE BLVD SE, GREENVILLE, NC 27858, 1-(866) 980-4064) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DOORS FAILED TO UNLATCH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EMERGENCY UNLOCK FEATURE WAS ALSO INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED. HYUNDAI OF CENTRAL FLORIDA (LOCATED AT 17325 E HWY 50, CLERMONT, FL 34711, (352) 224-9400) WAS NOTIFIED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE WOULD TAKE TO AWHILE TO GET TO SPEED CITY STREET/HIGHWAY AND MAKING A CLICKING SOUND WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSIS THE PROBLEM 3/16/18 FOUND THAT BOTTOM END OF ENGINE MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE THAT ENGINE AND DETERIORATED INTO MULTIPLE PIECES.AT 57041 MILES. IT TOOK AT LEAST TWO WEEKS FOR ALL THE PARTS FOR THE NEW ENGINE TO ARRIVE,. FOUR MONTHS LATER 6/5/18 VEHICLE MOTION DRIVING AROUND WITH A CRACKED TRANSMISSION AND NO CHECK LIGHTS CAME ON TO REVEAL THERE WAS PROBLEMS. IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION WHEN SERVICING MY VEHICLE FOR AN OIL CHANGE, THE TRANSMISSION WAS CRACKED WITH FLUID LEAKING FROM IT AT 60922 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE..

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

THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AT FIRST INTERMITTENTLY BUT LATER CONTINUAL. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED ME IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE CLOCK SPRING. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY POLICY AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND THE REPAIR. THE CAR IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE AT THIS POINT THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER A PLATINUM PROTECTION PLAN. IM VERY DISAPPOINTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED AND THERE WAS A LOSS OF TRACTION. THE CONTACT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS APPROXIMATELY THE LENGTH OF TWO VEHICLES AHEAD OF HER. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER HAD THE WIND KNOCKED OUT OF THEM, BUT WERE NOT INJURED. AMBULATORY CARE WAS RECEIVED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A FACILITY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY AN INSURANCE ADJUSTER OR A DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V769000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) AFTER THE CRASH, BUT HAD NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION IN THE MAIL FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE CRASH MONTHS LATER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,154.

AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINING ON AND WAS TOLD IT IS THE CLOCKSPRING, WHICH IS BEING RECALLED ON MULTIPLE OTHER HYUNDAIS BUT DEALERS SAYS NOT THIS MODEL. CAR IS JUST 5 YEARS OLD, SHOULD NOT NEED SAFETY SYSTEM REPLACED YET.

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

AS I AM DRIVING THE CAR ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS ETC. THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON AND STARTS FLASHING AND AT THE SAME TIME THE RADIO, NAVIGATION SYSTEM. BLUETOOTH. BLUE LINK MONITORING SYSTEM, AS WELL AS SENSORS/MONITORING EQUIPMENT SHUTTING DOWN AND RESETTING AND OTHER SYSTEMS SHUT DOWN. I ALSO CAN NOT USE MY KEY FOB TO LOCK MY DOORS UNTIL THE CAR HAS RESET. USUALLY THE CAR WILL RESET BETWEEN FIVE MINTUES TO AN HOUR. CONCERN THAT THE ISSUE WILL INTENSIFY WITH THE SUDDEN SHUT DOWN OF THE ENGINE RESULTING IN A POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST 9 MONTHS, WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS IN CORRECTING THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE CANNOT BE REPLICATED WHEN THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY HYUNDAI USA THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE DEALER CANNOT REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE. OTHER PERSONS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR ISSUES WITH NO SOLUTION AND RECEIVING THE SAME GUIDANCE FROM HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS.ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED. I HAVE HAD THE CAR INTO THE DEALER @ 6 TIMES FOR ASSESSMENT SINCE OCTOBER 15, 2017 THROUGH PRESENT. THE ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED AT A VARIETY OF SPEEDS, 30MPH UP TO 65-70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY.

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

AIR BAGS LIGHT COMES ON DISABLING THE AIR BAGS. SOMETHING IN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE CLOCK SPRING. INVESTIGATION RESULTS IN HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH HYUNDAI CARS.
