2007 Hyundai Elantra complaints

BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS HAVE SUDDENLY BROKEN AND FALLEN DOWN EITHER COMPLETELY OR PARTIALLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, OBSTRUCTING LINE OF VISION AND BECOMING UNUSABLE. THE BREAK OCCURRED AT THE SAME LOCATION ON BOTH SUN VISORS - THE PLASTIC ROD BROKE JUST ABOVE WHERE THE VISOR IS SCREW MOUNTED ONTO THE CEILING OF THE CAR.

WAS DRIVING VERY SLOWLY ON COLLEGE CAMPUS LOOKING FOR PARKING SPACE AS I HAVE DONE EVERY TIME I GO TO THE OFFICE FOR 45 YEARS WHEN SUDDENLY THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA ACCELERATED AT VERY HIGH RATE AND ROLLED OVER UPSIDE DOWN. AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND I WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL. WINDSHIELD AND FRONT OF ROOF COLLAPSED FROM ROLLOVER! I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT PRESS DOWN THE GAS PEDAL BY MISTAKE. I AM SURE. THIS COULD VERY LIKELY KILLED ANYONE WALKING OR DRIVING IN FRONT OF THIS CRAZY CAR.

MY STOP LAMP SWITCH FAILED. THE NHTSA SITE SHOWS THAT THERE IS A RECALL HAVING TO DO WITH MY YEAR AND MODEL FOR THE STOP LAMP SWITCH AND OR ASSEMBLY. MINE FAILED, BUT THE DEALER STATES THAT MY SPECIFIC VIN IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. WELL THE PROBLEM IS WIDER THAN REPORTED OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE THE PROOF IS MY SWITCH FAILED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM THE CAR HAD BEEN ON THE DRIVEWAY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN. THE FAILURE MANIFESTED ITSELF RANDOMLY WHILE THE CAR WAS NOT IN USE AND HAD NOT BEEN IN USE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN ON GOING, BUT I MIGHT NOT HAVE NOTICE.

PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR BECAME DISCONNECTED AND ITS WEIGHT PULLED ITS WIRE OUT 2 INCHES SO THAT IT WOULD NOT GO BACK IN AND WOULD NOT STAY UP ANYMORE. NOW IT IS COMPLETELY OFF AND TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX. MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. WE MAY HAVE TO HAVE IT FIXED WITHOUT HAVING THE ELECTRICAL HOOKED UP TO RUN THE MIRROR LIGHT, WHICH IS REALLY ANNOYING.

FOR A FEW MONTHS I HAD A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR WHEN MY CAR WAS IDLING ON A CITY STREET FACING DOWNHILL (AT A STOP SIGN). THEN IT GOT SUDDENLY WORSE FOR 2 DAYS, SO THAT IT RATTLED ALL THE TIME WHEN IDLING IN DRIVE OR PARK (STOPPED AT LIGHTS OR SIGNS OR IN A PARKING SPACE). THEN IT COMPLETELY STOPPED RATTLING - AND THE NEXT DAY ANOTHER DRIVER ON THE HIGHWAY, ON THE 4TH OF JULY, NOTIFIED ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS A COINCIDENCE OR NOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE RIGHT. THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE CONTROL ARM CRACKED NEAR THE BALL JOINT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BOB WAKELY FLEET REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTROL ARM FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 125,000. UPDATED 09/01/17*LJ UPDATED 09/05/2017*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL PULLED WHILE MAKING LEFT AND RIGHT TURNS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I SEE THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS BUT NOT WITH MY VIN#? I WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY TESTED MY BRAKE LIGHTS AND NONE OF THEM WORKED?

I HAVE HYUNDAI ELANTRA .IT SHUT DOWN AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE CAR IN THE SLOW SPPED ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THAT ITS SHOWS THE WRONG LEVEL FOR THE HEAT METER.

WHILE I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD, WEATHER IT BE AT 10MPH OR 55MPH, MY EPS LIGHT AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT WILL TURN ON AND MY CAR WILL STOP. IT WILL NOT TURN OFF UNTIL MY CAR IS STOPPED, TURNED OFF. AND TURNED BACK ON AGAIN. SINCE THE POWER STEERING IS LOST I CAN NOT JUST TURN TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE TO PRAY THAT NO ONE WILL BE COMING UP BEHIND ME AND HIT ME CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. BEFORE THAT WILL HAPPEN FOR TWO WEEKS MY ALARM WILL GO OFF AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY AND NIGHT. OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL MY CARS EPS AND E BRAKE LIGHTS TURN ON WHILE I AM DRIVING, BUT THEN THE CYCLE WILL START ALL OVER AGAIN. THE MOST FREQUENT TIEM THIS HAPPENED WAS WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY 99W IN DUNDEE OREGON, I WAS GOING ABOUT 45MPH AND MY CARS EPS AND E BREAK .LIGHT TURNED ON AND I HAD TO TURN IT OFF AND THEN RESTART IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT MANY TIMES TO A DEALERSHIP TO FIX BUT THEY JUST CHARGE ME MONEY AND SAY ITS FIXED, BUT THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I WILL SUE, I AM SO OVER MY CAR THREATENING MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF MY LOVED ONES.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND WON'T GO OFF, SO I LOOKED INTO IT AND IT CAN CAUSE THE BAGS TO DEPLOY AT ANY GIVEN TIME OR NOT AT ALL. THIS IS VERY UNSETTLING, AND NOT SAFE. PLEASE RECALL THIS.

COLD CAR CATCHES ON FIRE TOTAL LOST. WAS PARKED ON MY DRIVEWAY

IT TIGHTEN UP ON MY CHILD AND WOULDNT RELEASE I HAD TO CUT IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WAS INCLUDED IN A RECALL, BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,330.

REAR SUB FRAME ROTTED AND BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THERE IS A RECALL FOR FRONT END CORROSION. CALLED HYUNDAI AND WAS TOLD TOUGH LUCK. *TR

IT EXPLODED FOR NO REASON

STEERING WHEEL START MAKING A NOISE AND BECOMES HARD TO STEER DRIVING ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR COMING OUT OF A HIGHWAY TURNING INTO A CITY STREET. *TR

WHEN TURNING THE CAR IT WILL SQUEAK CONSTANTLY. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 98000 MILES AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. I AM TOLD THE CAR NEEDS A PART IN THE STEERING WHICH WILL COST $2000.00 JUST FOR THE PART.

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BROKE AND KEPT FALLING DOWN. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANTED $278 JUST FOR THE PART AND SAID THEY WOULD CHARGE EXTRA FOR INSTALLING. THIS WAS WAY TOO COSTLY, SO I TRIED TAPING UP THE SUN VISOR, BUT THAT DID NOT WORK AS THE TAPE KEPT GIVING AWAY AND THE SUN VISOR FALLING WOULD INTERFERE WITH MY VISIBILITY OF THE ROAD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY INSTALLED A USED SUN VISOR AT THE COST OF $117. THE VERY NEXT WEEK THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE AND FELL DOWN IN EXACTLY THE SAME MANNER AS THE DRIVERS SIDE (THAT I HAD REPAIRED THE WEEK BEFORE). I DECIDED TO DO AN ONLINE SEARCH FOR A REPLACEMENT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR AND EVERYWHERE I LOOKED I FOUND PEOPLE WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI SUN VISORS NOT ONLY MY 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA BUT OTHER YEARS MODELS OF HYUNDAI AND MODELS. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AS THE SUN VISOR KEEPS FALLING DOWN IN YOUR LINE OF VISIBILITY AND INTERFERES WITH YOUR ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD AHEAD CLEARLY AND IT CLEARLY IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND I ONLY HAVE 72000 MOLES ON MY VEHICLE. THE INTERIOR OF A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE FALLING APART ESPECIALLY SOMETHING LIKE THIS, WITHOUT TOUCHING IT OR MOVING THE SUN VISOR IT JUST FALLS AND WILL NOT STAY UP.

PASSENGER VISOR FAILED A FEW MONTHS AGO. DRIVER VISOR FAILED SHORTLY AFTER (AROUND 60,000 MILES). THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI'S MANUFACTURED AFTER 2007. DEALER WOULD CHARGE $176 PER VISOR, BUT ABSORB THE COST OF INSTALLATION. ONE PASSENGER BANGED HER HEAD WHEN GETTING IN THE CAR. DRIVER'S VISOR HAS FALLEN ON MY HEAD SEVERAL TIMES -- A HAZARD IN MY OPINION.

VISORS RIGHT AND LEFT SUDDENLY FELL DOWN AND OBSCUREDVISION. WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION SUN WAS BLINDING, BUT WAS CLOSE TO HOME.

THE BRAKE SWITCH HAD TO REPLACED TWICE WITHIN A FEW MONTHS. THE THREE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. THIS WAS A COMMON REPAIR ON OTHER MODEL YEARS OF THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA. 2007 SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE EXISTING RECALL. (RECALL CAMPAIGNS 110 AND 113.)

MY 2007 ELANTRA IS (LIKE ALL OF THESE OTHER COMPLAINTS EXPERIENCING A BREAK LIGHT THAT IS CHRONICALLY GOING OUT, EVEN AFTER GETTING THE STOP LAMP SWITCH REPLACED AND BEFORE THAT MULTIPLE LIGHT BULBS. AFTER GETTING THE SWITCH REPLACED, I WAS NOTIFIED 2 MONTHS-ISH LATER THAT MY BREAK LIGHT IS NOT ALLUMINATING. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT WAS NOT SHOWING UP AS A RECALL, EVEN THOUGH I KEEP FIND IT IN SERVICE CAMPAIGN #110 WHICH SAYS IT CAN CAUSE A CRASH. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING THING FOR YEARS. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME I GET IT FIXED IT WORKS FOR A SHORT TIME AND THE NEXT TIME I GET AN OIL CHANGE THEY TELL ME MY BREAK LIGHT IS OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE SUN VISOR ON MY 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT DID NOT BREAK OFF COMPLETELY, BUT HUNG LOW, OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW. I TRIED TO PUSH IT BACK IT UP AND IT WOULD NOT STAY FOR LONG AND CONTINUED TO FALL AS I WAS DRIVING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AS IT CONTINUES TO FALL UNEXPECTEDLY AND OBSTRUCT MY VIEW. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD TO NOT HAVE A SUN VISOR AS IT SERVES A CRITICAL PURPOSE IN ENSURING VISIBILITY. THE SUN VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE IN A SIMILAR MANNER SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, HOWEVER THAT IS NOT AS IMPACTFUL AS IT DOES NOT CORRECTLY CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD AND VISIBILITY DEFICIENCY WHILE DRIVING. THE COST TO REPAIR IS NEARLY $300.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON A NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD AND THE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN IN FRONT OF MY VIEW. I HAVE TRIED TO SHOVE IT BACK INTO PLACE, BUT IT WILL NOT STAY FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES. THIS IS IMPEDING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD AND MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR A FEW MONTHS AGO.

AIRBAG RECALL CHECK- TO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL.

THE SUN VISOR ON MY 2007 ELANTRA BROKE, AND IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND TRYING TO ADJUST THE VISOR TO SHIELD MY EYES FROM THE SUN. SPECIFICALLY, THE ARM HOLDING THE VISOR IN PLACE BROKE, RENDING THE SUN VISOR INOPERABLE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT! THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN! I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH ONLINE, AND THIS IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 ELANTRA. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL!

WHILE VEHICLE WAS MOVING, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE OFF ITS LEFT HINGE, OBSTRUCTING MY VISION. THIS WAS STARTLING AND VERY SCARY, BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE. SINCE THE INCIDENT, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE IN THE SAME MANNER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER AND THE EBS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

MY WIFE HIT A GARD RAIL AT 65 MPH IN THE FRONT AND BROKE THE BUMPER IN HALF AND MESS THE HOLE FRONT END UP AND THE AIR BAGS NEVER WENT OFF. SO I WAS W ORDERING WHY WE NEVER RECEIVE A RECALL ABOUT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. LUCKY SHE DIDN'T GET HURT TO BAD BUT I'M JUST CONCERNS ARE WHY DIDN'T THEY GO OFF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE AT A RED LIGHT AWAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STRUCK HEAD ON BY A DRUNK DRIVER. THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT HAD TO BE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A HERNIATED DISC, SHOULDER, AND NECK BRUISES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT. NO DETERMINATION WAS MADE BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

SUN VISOR ARM ON MY 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA DRIVER SIDE BROKE CAUSING THE VISOR TO FALL IN FRONT OF DRIVER FACE. IT CANNOT BE ADJUSTED TO BLOCK THE SUN FROM THE FRONT OR THE SIDE AND WILL NOT STAY IN A CLOSED POSITION TO GIVE A FULL VIEW OF THE AREA AHEAD. THIS CAUSES NOT ONLY A PROBLEM WITH THE VISOR HANGING IN YOUR LINE OF VISION BUT ALSO CREATES A PROBLEM WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO BLOCK THE BRIGHT SUN WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH AFTER RECEIVING A RECALL REPAIR, THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 178,000. UPDATED 05/03/16*LJ

WHILE CITY DRIVING THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR SWIVEL BRACKET BROKE AND WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE. WORSE WHEN THE VISOR CONNECTOR BROKE IT WAS SUDDEN AND BLOCKED VISIBILITY. NOW THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE AND KEEPS FALLING INTO THE DRIVERS FIELD OF VISION WITHOUT WARNING . ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR. AFTER LOOKING AT THE VISOR HOUSING THE ONLY TRUE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE VISOR. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY AGREE THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE BOTH VISORS WHICH WILL COST $170 EACH. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS NO USER ERROR CAUSED THE BROKEN VISORS AND UNEXPECTEDLY BLOCKS DRIVER VISIBILITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 72 MPH, THE VEHICLE SEIZED AS THE ABS AND POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000.

VISOR ARM BROKE AND VISOR CANNOT BE RETURNED TO FOLDED POSITION, AFFECTING VISIBILITY.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE PASSENGER'S VISOR SUDDENLY CAME OUT OF THE STORED POSITION AND HUNG DOWN. IT WOULD NOT STAY IN PLACE IN THE STORED POSITION. THIS HAPPENED MONTHS AGO. LAST WEEK ON 10/30/15, THE DRIVER'S VISOR SUDDENLY WOULD NOT STAY IN UP POSITION AND HUNG DOWN, SWINGING BACK AND FORTH WHILE DRIVING, OBSCURING MY VIEW. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE.

SUN VISORS HAVE A DEFECTIVE PART WHICH BRAKES AT THE MOUNT AND THEN FALLS DOWN INTO VISION AREA AND CREATES A HAZARD. THE PROBLEM IS WHERE THE SUN VISOR IS THE ROD THAT MOUNTS INTO THE BRACKET IS MOLDED IN PLASTIC THAT IS FLANGES SO IT WILL STAY IN THE BRACKET. THE FLANGE BREAKS ALLOWING THE SUN VISOR TO FALL AND WILL NOT HOLD INTO POSITION. THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS UNEXPECTEDLY AND CAUSES NOT ONLY A DISTRACTION BUT A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT ACTUALLY CAN TEMPORARILY BLOCK THE PATH OF VIEW.

SUNVISOR KEPT FALLING IMPAIRING VIEW OF THE DRIVER. AT FIRST I COULD PUSH IT BACK IN BUT THE HINGE IS BROKEN. I HAVE TRIED VELCRO, TAPE ETC TO KEEP IT UP. WILL FALL RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AND DANGLE IN FRONT OF MY VISION. I WANT TO TAKE IT OFF BUT CANT BECAUSE OF WIRES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT WILL WORK FOR SEVERAL WEEKS THEN FALL AGAIN AND CANNOT GET IT TO STAY UP. HAVE FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AS IT IS A DEFECT ON HYUNDAI'S END AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR ON AND OFF. THE PROBLEM IS ITS VERY RANDOM WHEN IT FALLS AGAIN AND IS SHOCKING. I AM LUCKY TO NOT HAVE GOTTEN IN AN ACCIDENT

DRIVING WEST AT SUNSET, I PULLED MY VISOR DOWN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE TO SHIELD THE SUN AND IT COMPLETELY FELL DOWN. THE ONLY THING HOLDING IT UP SOMEWHAT ARE THE VISIBLE WIRES AND THE SUPPORT CLIP ON THE RIGHT. THIS IS A HAZARD DUE TO THE FACT THAT I CANNOT PULL THE VISOR COMPLETELY UP IN PLACE. IT HAS ONE POSITION WHICH DOES NOT SHIELD THE SUN AND ALSO BLOCKS LINE OF SIGHT FOR SIDE MIRROR ON DRIVERS SIDE. THIS IS A FLAW IN THE PART AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR RECALL AS IT WAS FOR THE 2007 HYNDAI SONATA.

IN FEBRUARY OF 2015 MY SON WAS DRIVING MY CAR THE ELANTRA WHEN THE STEERING LOCKED UP..MY HUSBAND HAD TO RESET THE COMPUTER THEN IT WORKED OTHER THAN THE KEY SOMETIMES GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHEN YOU WHERE IN PARK AND THE CAR WAS OFF.THEN IN APRIL OF 2015 HYUNDAI SENT US A RECALL NOTICE FOR A DEFECT IN THE STEERING SO I HAD IT REPAIRED .WHEN I GOT MY CAR BACK THE STEERING DID NOT LOCK UP ANYMORE AND IT SEEMED TO STEER VERY EASY THE KEY WOULD STILL GET STUCK SOMETIMES.WELL ONJULY 27 2015 I WAS DRIVING AROUND A ROUNDABOUT IN THE INSIDE LANE WHEN I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND IT SKIDDED TO A STOP IN THE OUTSIDE LANE WHEN I GOT OUT TO LOOK AT MY TIRE I NOTICED THAT MY RACK AND PINION HAD SNAPPED CLEAN IN HALF.MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 98000 MILES ON IT AND I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING .WHEN I CAME HOME I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE 2008 ELANTRAS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM.UPON SPEAKING WITH HYUNDAI THEY SAID THERE IS NO CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TO BUT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HAS SAID OTHERWISE.SO IF YOU COULD LOOK INTO THIS IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED SO NO ONE GETS HURT.

BOTH SUN VISOR'S WOULD RANDOMLY FALL FROM ITS HINGE AND WOULD BLOCK MY VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS HAVE NEVER WORKED. ESPECIALLY WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD A BRAKE INSPECTION AND THE FRONT LEFT CALIPER WAS THE ONLY BRAKE THAT HAS BEEN FUNCTIONAL FOR THE PAST 20,000 MILES.

2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED AS HE WAS DRIVING, HE HEARD A NOISE AND THEN THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED VIBRATING. THE CONSUMER STATED HE PULLED OVER, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND REMOVED THE OWNERS MANUAL FROM THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. THE CONSUMER STATED NO WHERE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL WAS THERE A SECTION RELATING TO STRUTS, SPRINGS OR SHOCK ABSORBERS, WHICH HE THOUGHT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE VIBRATING STEERING WHEEL. *JB

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING IN FAST LANE. TOOK ALL MY MIGHT TO WREST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. STEERING STIFFENED UP, WAS ABLE TO GET VEHICLE ACROSS TRAFFIC LANES TO PARKING LOT ENTRANCE. NOTICED EPS INDICATOR LIGHT LIT, PARKED VEHICLE, TURNED OFF IGNITION. RESTARTED, AND HAD POWER STEERING. I WAS FORTUNATE IN HAVING DISTANCE BETWEEN VEHICLES WHEN I INITIALLY LOST THE POWER STEERING, AS I WAS ONLY ABLE TO MAKE WIDE TURNS IN DIRECTINBG THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE TRAFFIC FLOW. VERY DANGEROUS. WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE BUT ME TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT THIS POINT. HAS THERE EVER BEEN A RECALL ISUED FOR THIS PROBLEM?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR PIECE THAT CONNECTED THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE VISORS TO THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE FRACTURED. AS A RESULT, THE VISORS COULD NOT BE USED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE PIECE WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.. . .. .UPDATED 07/21/15 *BF THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WHEN THE SUN VISOR FELL INTO HIS LINE OF VISION. HE COULDN'T REMOVE IT OR PUT IT BACK UP. HE HAD TO HOLD IT IN THE UP POSITION UNTIL HE COULD GET HOME AND TAKE IT DOWN WITH A SCREW DRIVER. UPDATED 07/30/15*JB ...UPDATED 08/20/15 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE FIRST TIME THE INCIDENT HAPPENED, HE WAS IN THE VEHICLE WITH HIS WIFE. SHE GENTLY PULLED DOWN THE PASSENGER SUN VISOR AND THE CLIP THAT HELD THE VISOR IN THE RETAINING BRACKET SWIVEL BROKE AND COULD NOT BE RE-ATTACHED OR PUT BACK IN THE UP POSITION. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED, IT WAS TWO MONTHS LATER. THE CONSUMER GENTLY PULLED THE VISOR DOWN IN THE FORWARD POSITION AND HEARD A CRACK. THE CONSUMER HAD TO USE HIS HAND, TO HOLD THE VISOR UP. UPDATED 09/01/15*JB

I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY, AND MY DRIVER-SIDE VISOR BROKE. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD SINCE I CANNOT SUCCESSFULLY BLOCK THE SUN WHILE DRIVING. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS SAFETY PROBLEM!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND, AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, NOTICED THAT A PIECE OF METAL AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WERE DRAGGING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,823.

THE SUN VISORS SPONTANEOUSLY DROP OUT AND THEN SWING FREELY CAUSING OBVIOUS ACCIDENT RISK. I FINALLY HAD TO REMOVE THEM BOTH FOR SAFETY REASONS. THIS SEEMS TO BE WIDELY REPORTED AND SEEMS TO BE DANGEROUS ENOUGH TO WARRANT A RECALL BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS HAPPEN. *TR
