2007 Hyundai Elantra complaints

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON & HAS BEEN ON SINCE SUNDAY. I GOT ONLINE WHERE IT TOLD ME THAT THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS ON THIS CAR OVER THE AIRBAGS MALFUNCTIONING. I DONE THE VIN SEARCH & IT TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL IS INCOMPLETE ON MY CAR WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET THIS FIXED?? I AM PREGNANT & GETTING READY TO HAVE MY BABY & DON'T WANT TO BE GOING DOWN THE ROAD & MAYBE HAVE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING HOME ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLED BESIDE MY WIFE AND INDICATED THAT WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT NONE OF HER BRAKE LIGHTS WERE OPERATIONAL. UPON MY WIFE ARRIVING AT HOME I HAD ALL THE FUSES TESTED AND REPLACED, HAD BULBS REPLACED, BUT STILL NO BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE REAR OF CAR INCLUDING THE REAR WINDOW BRAKE LIGHT. CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL #13V113000/CAMPAIGN #110 IN REGARDS TO EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH. HYUNDAI REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE INDICATING THAT MY VIN MANUFACTURE DATE OF MID-2006 ELIMINATED MY VEHICLE FROM THE RECALL. I INFORMED HYUNDAI THAT A 2007 MODEL CAR HAD TO BE MANUFACTURED IN 2006. THE CASE MANAGER, [XXX] OF HYUNDAI (REFUSED TO GIVE LAST NAME) GAVE ME CASE NUMBER [XXX] AND INFORMED ME THAT HYUNDAI WOULD NOT REPAIR THE CAR OR HONOR THE RECALL BECAUSE OF THE PRODUCTION DATE. NONE OF THE WEB SITES I INVESTIGATED IN REGARDS TO THIS RECALL INDICATE THAT A VEHICLE MUST MEET A SPECIFIC PRODUCTION DATE, ONLY THE MODEL YEAR, WHICH MINE DOES 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. HYUNDAI DOES NOT INDICATE ANYWHERE IN PUBLIC DOCUMENTATION IN REGARDS TO RECALLS THAT VEHICLES MUST MEET SPECIFIC PRODUCTION CRITERIA. HYUNDAI HAS DENIED MY REQUEST TO REPAIR THE SPECIFIC PART INVOLVED IN THE RECALL, THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH, AND [XXX] INFORMED ME THAT HE WAS NOT WILLING TO ENTERTAIN REVIEWING ANY OF MY DOCUMENTATION INVOLVING THIS RECALL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,955.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR SUPPORT BROKE, CAUSING IT TO HANG DOWN AND OBSTRUCT VISIBILITY. I AM ABLE TO PUSH IT BACK UP INTO PLACE, BUT IT FALLS AGAIN AFTER A FEW DAYS ON SMOOTH ROADS OR MORE QUICKLY, IF THE ROADS ARE ROUGH.

WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN ALMOST CAUSING ME TO WRECK. I CAN PUSH IT UP, BUT IT WON'T STAY UP. ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR ALSO FELL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD!!! *JS

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH ENGAGING THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

BROKEN DRIVER SIDE VISOR CREATING A DRIVING HAZARD WHEN IT KEPT KEEPS FALLING DOWN OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVERS LINE OF SIGHT. VERY FLIMSY PLASTIC AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO EASILY REPAIR IT... I HAVE SINCE REMOVED THE VISOR ENTIRELY AND IT IS STILL A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN. COST TO REPLACE IS $200+ WHICH IS INSANE FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD MUCH STRONGER. SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2007 SONATA AND I SUSPECT THE SAME PART/DURABILITY APPLIES TO THE 2007 ELANTRA SINCE I'VE HEARD MANY OF THE SAME ISSUES. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE VISORS FOR THE 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA! *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS SOME KIND OF ELECTRICAL FAILURE IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE BUCKLE ASSEMBLY. I HAVE HEARD OF SIMILAR ISSUES IN 2006-2008 SONATAS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY BE A FACTORY DEFECT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT A LOWER RATE OF SPEED IN A HIGHLY RESIDENTIAL AREA WHEN THE SUN VISOR BROKE OFF FROM ITS PIN FROM THE CEILING OF THE TRIM, HIT ME IN THE FACE, AND DANGLED FROM THE ELECTRICAL CORD, BLOCKING MY WHOLE LINE OF VISION. THE INCIDENT SCARED ME WHEN IT HIT ME IN THE FACE AS WELL AS BLOCKED MY SIGHT AND I SWERVED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC NEARLY HITTING A CAR. I HAD TO PHYSICALLY HOLD THE VISOR OUT OF MY WAY UNTIL I COULD PULL OVER. THE VISOR HAS A PLASTIC POST WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT THE WHOLE WEIGHT AND MOVEMENT OF THE VISOR, WITHIN WHICH AN ELECTRICAL CORD FOR THE ILLUMINATED MIRROR PLUGS INTO A CONNECTION (THUS HOW IT WAS DANGLING). THIS SAME PIECE WAS RECALLED IN THE SONATA BUT NOT IN THE ELANTRA, AND THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

BOTH VISORS FELL WITHIN A WEEK OF EACH OTHER AS I WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY HINDERING MY VIEW AND SCARING THE CRAP OUT OF ME. I SEE NO RECALLS? ISN'T THIS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR HYUNDAI? *TR

MY CAR WHEN I TRIED TO BRAKE ON THE HIGHWAY STARTING PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE IT CORRECTS BACK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE CALIPER AND BRAKE HOSE...MY BROTHER IS AN AUTO MECHANIC FOR LEXUS AND DECIDED TO LOOK INTO IT FURTHER AND IT IS ACTUALLY THE BRAKE ACTUATOR WHERE THE BRAKE FLUID ISN'T EVEN GETTING TO THE CALIPER. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME. AND I DON'T SEE WHERE THIS IS RECALLED BY HYUNDAI? AND, THE BRAKE LIGHT ISN'T ON TELLING ME THERE IS AN ISSUE IN THE ABS SYSTEM?????? HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM? *TR

A BOLT ON THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT SHEARED OFF AND DISCONNECTED THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT AND DAMAGED THE CLOCKSPRING. IT ALSO CAUSED THE CAR TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL IN THE RAIN BECAUSE I LOST THE ABILITY TO CONTROL STEERING. THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED INCHES AWAY FROM A ROCK WALL. THE CAR WAS UN-DRIVABLE DUE TO THE LOSS OF STEERING ABILITY. MY MECHANIC HAD TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT AND CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY. *TR

PROBLEM: THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR FELL DOWN FROM THE UP POSITION WHEN TRYING TO PUT IT UP. FOR A WHILE, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT *ALMOST* ALL THE WAY UP, TO PRESERVE VISIBILITY. HOWEVER, I WAS UNABLE TO USE THE VISOR IN ANY OTHER POSITION. UPON TAKING APART THE MOUNT WHICH SECURES THE VISOR TO THE ROOF, I SAW THAT A PLASTIC RING HAD BROKEN OFF THE VISOR ARM. DROVE WITH THE VISOR LOW. TWO-THREE MONTHS LATER, THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR FELL IN A SIMILAR FASHION. THE PASSENGER VISOR FELL FURTHER THAN THE DRIVER'S ONE, HANGING ONLY FROM THE INTERNAL WIRE. OPENED THE MOUNT AND OBSERVED THE SAME BREAK AT THE PLASTIC RING AT THE END OF THE VISOR SHEATH. ATTEMPTED GLUE REPAIR EACH TIME, WHICH DID NOT FULLY WORK. ATTEMPTED FIX: IN BOTH CASES, SUPER GLUE DID NOT HOLD & THE RING IS STILL SEPARATED. HOWEVER, RESIDUE FROM THE GLUE ON THE VISOR ARM CAUSES ENOUGH FRICTION TO KEEP THE PLASTIC SHAFTS IN THE CEILING MOUNTS MOST OF THE TIME. THE PASSENGER VISOR FALLS DOWN MOST FREQUENTLY (EVEN THO THIS CAR HAS A SINGLE DRIVER, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR IS RARELY USED -- USUALLY TO HOLD A SUNSHADE IN THE WINDSHIELD). IT DANGLES FROM THE INTERNAL WIRE, AND IT MUST BE SHOVED BACK IN THE CEILING WITH A GREAT BIT OF FORCE AND TWISTING. SUMMARY: THE PROBLEM WITH THE VISOR ARM SHEATH IS A DESIGN FLAW. THE SHEATH NARROWS JUST BEFORE IT WIDENS OUT AGAIN TO FORM A RING. THE RING IS THE PART THAT PREVENTS THE VISOR FROM FALLING OUT OF THE CEILING MOUNT. HOWEVER, THE NARROWING OF THE PLASTIC WEAKENS THE ARM AT T

THE VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE AND FELL INTO MY FACE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT HOLDS IT INTO THE ROOF OF THE CAR IS NOT ATTACHED. THE ONLY THING HOLDING THE VISOR THERE IS A BLACK WIRE. THE VISOR CANNOT BE USED TO SHIELD FROM THE SUN AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH, AS IT HANGS LOW EVEN WHEN IT IS FOLDED UP TOWARDS THE ROOF OF THE CAR. TODAY, 10/7, I WENT TO CHECK THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR TO SEE IF I COULD FIGURE OUT HOW THE DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE AND FELL ALSO! THIS IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AND I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS IN MAINLY 2007 HYUNDAI MODELS ON OTHER INTERNET FORUMS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE!!!! *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR CAME DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY, HITTING ME IN THE FACE, AND OBSTRUCTED MY VIEW WHILE TRAVELING AT 65MPH. ONCE I PULLED OVER, I FOUND THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT SECURES THE VISOR TO THE TOP OF THE CAR BROKE INSIDE, LEAVING A PLASTIC RING INSIDE. UPON RESEARCH I FOUND THIS IS A FREQUENT FAILURE FOR HYUNDAI, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON THE ELANTRA ONLY ON THE SONATA ~2006, BUT THE PARTS ARE IDENTICAL. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO DO A MASSIVE RECALL AND MAKE THIS RIGHT! *TR

TOOK HYUNDAI ELANTRA FOR RECALL REPAIR IN 2011, ONE OF THE REPAIRS SCHEDULED WAS THE STOP LAMP SWITCH. WAS APPROACHED IN TRAFFIC YESTERDAY BY A HELPFUL, CONCERNED DRIVER WHO SAID THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT COMING ON. GRATEFUL FOR THAT PERSON, WHO MAY HAVE SAVED OUR LIVES. NOT GRATEFUL TO THE DEALER WHO OFFERED ZERO ASSISTANCE - ONLY AN OVERPRICED DIAGNOSTIC FEE PLUS STANDARD PARTS AND LABOR COST. THIS WAS AFTER I HAD ALREADY DETERMINED THE SWITCH WAS THE EXACT PROBLEM. RATHER THAN FORK OVER $120 FOR AN UNNECESSARY DIAGNOSIS, I BOUGHT THE PART ELSEWHERE FOR $12 AND INSTALLED IT IN NO TIME, WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM AN 11YR OLD. BOTTOM LINE: THE STOP LAMP SWITCH NOT WORKING IN 2014 AFTER A 2011 RECALL SERVICE MEANS EITHER 1) BURNS HYUNDAI IN MARLTON NJ DIDN'T ACTUALLY REPLACE THE SWITCH THEY SAID THEY REPLACED OR 2) THEY FEEL OK ABOUT PUTTING CUSTOMERS AT RISK OF DEATH BY INSTALLING A CRITICAL PART THAT ONLY LASTS 3 YEARS. NEITHER SITUATION IS ETHICAL. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME IS AS THE HYUNDAI RECALL CAMPAIGN 110. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURE BEFORE THE DATES IN THE CAMPAIGN BY APPROXIMATELY 5 MONTHS BUT FALLS IN THE SAME MODEL YEAR AS OTHER CARS IN THE CAMPAIGN. HERE IS A LINK TO CAMPAIGN HTTPS://WWW.HYUNDAIUSA.COM/CAMPAIGN110. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND THEY REFUSE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS EVEN THOUGH I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. THE CAMPAIGN PROBABLY NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO COVER ALL 2007 VEHICLES. SOMETHING LIKE BRAKE LIGHTS SHOULD NOT FAIL AND CREATES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY DROPPED SEVERAL INCHES OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW. THE PLASTIC ARM HAS APPARENTLY SNAPPED, ALLOWING THE VISOR TO SHIFT FROM THE "UP" POSITION. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO! THE VISORS ARE NO LONGER USABLE SINCE THEY ARE TOO LOW WHEN IN THE "DOWN" POSITION AND OBSTRUCT THE VIEW. THIS PRESENTS A HAZARD IN THREE WAYS, FIRST THE SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE VISOR PARTIALLY OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER, SECOND WHEN THE VISOR IS DOWN AFTER FAILURE OF THE ARM THE VIEW IS OBSTRUCTED, THIRD SINCE THE VISOR CANNOT BE PUT DOWN, THERE IS NO WAY TO BLOCK THE SUN WHILE DRIVING AT DUSK AND DAWN RESULTING IN POOR FIELD OF VIEW DUE TO THE GLARE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT! *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE AND FELL INTO FACE OF DRIVER WHILE DRIVING, IMPAIRING VISIBILITY. THE PLASTIC KNOB ON THE TOP SIDE OF THE MOUNT BROKE OFF, ALLOWING THE VISOR TO SLIP OUT OF THE MOUNT. *TR

THE DOOR HANDLE CAME OFF THE VEHICLE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE DOOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THREE DOOR HANDLES. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ESPECIALLY DRIVER SIDE DROPPED SUDDENLY WHILE I DROVE ON THE ROAD. WHEN THE SUN VISOR DROPPED, I DROVE ON THE HIGHWAY THAT CAUSE A SIGNIFICANT DANGER FOR DRIVING SAFETY. I EVEN CONTACTED WITH MANUFACTURER, HYUNDAI BUT THEY DENIED FREE REPLACEMENT OF THE BROKEN SUN VISOR. THEY TOLD ME SUN VISOR WAS NOT ONLY A TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT PARTS BUT IT DID NOT ALSO COVER BY WARRANTY. I RESEARCHED SIMILAR ISSUES I HAVE AND A LOT OF USERS HAVE SAME PROBLEM OF BROKEN SUN VISOR THAT MAY CAUSE POTENTIAL DANGER OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE. THE SUN VISOR IS STILL WORKING ORDER WHEREAS ONLY HOLDING PARTS BROKE WITHOUT FORCE. IT NEEDS TO RECALL FOR THIS SUN VISOR PROBLEM BECAUSE IT MAY HARM BOTH SAFETY FOR A DRIVER AND POTENTIAL DAMAGE OF AUTOMOBILE. P.S. I WENT TO LOCAL HYUNDAI PARTS AND SERVICES TO REPLACE THIS BROKEN SUN VISOR BUT THEY QUOTED ME A REPLACEMENT $150 FOR PARTS AND AROUND $30 FOR LABOR. IT IS TOO PRICEY THAT MOST OF GENERAL DRIVERS DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. SHOULD RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE INTERNAL COMPONENTS LIKE THIS BROKEN SUN VISOR. *TR

BOTH OF THE SUN VISORS IN MY VEHICLE FALL DOWN WHEN GOING OVER A SPEED HUMP. THE PLASTIC DOWEL HOLDING THE VISOR IN PLACE IS DEFECTIVE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER HYUNDAI VEHICLES SUFFERING FROM THE SAME PROBLEM, AS DOCUMENTED HERE: HTTP://HOWTOMENDIT.COM/ANSWERS.PHP?ID=157121 UPDATED 8/5/2015*JS

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FLOPPED DOWN. AS IT WAS ATTACHED BY WIRES TO LIGHT THE MIRROR, IT DANGLED IN THE WAY. SO, WITH ONE HAND I KEPT IT OUT OF MY WAY SO I COULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE AND PULL OVER TO SAFETY. THE VISOR BROKE FROM WITHIN THE BALL JOINT THAT LETS IT ROTATE DOWN AND TO THE SIDE. NOTHING I COULD DO WOULD HOLD IT IN PLACE, DUCT TAPE, VELCRO, ETC..., SO I HAD TO CUT THE WIRES AND REMOVE THE VISOR SO I COULD DRIVE. THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED TWO WEEKS LATER TO MY PASSENGER SIDE VISOR. I HAD TO REMOVE IT TOO. NOW TO GET ONE VISOR REPLACED IT WOULD COST ME $150.00 OF WHICH I COULD NOT, AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD SINCE IT HAPPENED. I AM DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR THAT DOES NOT HAVE SUN VISORS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WHERE THE SUN SHINES LONG AND HARD. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AT ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR AND SUDDENLY THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE AND WAS LEFT HANGING BY THE WIRE THAT CONNECTS THE VANITY LIGHT. IT WAS VERY DISTRACTING. I'M JUST GLAD IT DIDN'T HAPPEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT FREEWAY SPEED. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER IN MESQUITE, TX. BUT WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE MILEAGE WAS LOW ENOUGH. BUT DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I KNOW FROM BROWSING THE INTERNET THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE ENTIRE LINE OF HYUNDAI VEHICLES. AND $200 TO REPLACE THE SUN VISOR IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR SUCH A SIMPLE PART THAT WAS BADLY DESIGNED. IT IS A SIMPLE ROD GOING INTO THE MOUNTING BRACKET THAT BREAKS. THE ENTIRE SUN VISOR IS IN PERFECT CONDITION EXCEPT FOR THIS SIMPLE PIECE. THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE A REPLACEMENT PART JUST FOR THE MOUNTING AND LEAVE THE REST OF THE EXISTING SUN VISOR REUSABLE. BECAUSE OF THE WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM I THINK HYUNDAI SHOULD HAVE DONE A RECALL. THANK YOU. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN INTO VIEW. I WAS NOT TOUCHING OR ADJUSTING IT AT THE TIME. IT IS NOW HANGING HALFWAY DOWN BLOCKING MY LINE OF VISION. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO PUSH/HOLD IT UP BUT IT SEEMS TO BE MISSING WHATEVER MECHANISM KEPT THE VISOR ARM IN THE CEILING. I WOULD JUST REMOVE IT ACCEPT THE LIGHTING WIRES ARE ANCHORING IT. IT IS A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING, BLOCKING MY VIEW SO I HAVE RESORTED TO USING VELCRO TO HOLD IT UP, BUT IN THE HEAT IT DOESN'T STAY, AND KEEPS FALLING DOWN AND BLOCKING MY VISION. I HAVE SEEN VARIOUS FORUMS FILLED WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH MODELS IN THE 2007-2009 RANGE. HERE IS ONE: HTTP://HOWTOMENDIT.COM/ANSWERS.PHP?ID=157121 SEEMS LIKE A FAULTY EQUIPMENT ISSUE. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHTS CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. IT TOOK THEM OVER TWO HOURS TO FIND THE PROBLEM: THE ENTIRE FLOOR HARNESS IS CORRODED FROM SOME SORT OF "MELTDOWN" AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. COST = $4800. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW IN THE VEHICLE AND HYUNDAI SHOULD REPLACE THE FLOOR HARNESS AS A GOODWILL WARRANTY ISSUE. THERE IS NO WAY A 6 YEAR OLD CAR WITH ONLY 35,000 MILES ON IT SHOULD BE EXPERIENCING THIS KIND OF PROBLEM! THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS RIGHT NOW I AM FORCED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH AIR BAGS NON-FUNCTIONAL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL HARNESS WAS CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. UPDATED 08/14/14*LJ HYUNADAI FIXED THE VEHICLE, FREE OF CHARGE. UPDATED 09/16/14

BOTH SUN VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP AND COME DOWN WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP. THEY CAN BE MANEUVERED BACK IN PLACE, BUT WILL FALL DOWN AGAIN. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR HAS BROKEN AT THE HINGE. THIS CAUSES THE SUN VISOR TO DROP SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP, THEREBY HINDERING VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 79,000. ..UPDATED 08/11/14 *BF THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE SEAT BELT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UPDATED 8-26-14

MY PASSENGER SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AND IT CONSTANTLY FALLS WHILE DRIVING OR RUNNING OVER A BUMP. IT'S VERY AGGRAVATING AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR

SUN VISORS WON'T STAY UP, I LIVE IN LAS VEGAS WHERE IT IS EXTREMELY HOT & SUNNY. THE VISOR WON'T STAY IN PLACE SO I CAN'T PLACE IT IN A POSITION WHERE I CAN SEE AROUND IT AND IT WON'T HOLD A WINDOW VISOR IN PLACE TO KEEP THE SUN OUT OF THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. *TR

BOTH THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE VISORS BROKE, FALLING DOWN INTO THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER CAUSING A MAJOR VISIBILITY PROBLEM AND DISTRACTION TRYING TO GET IT BACK IN PLACE. THE VISOR BROKE AT A PLASTIC JUNCTION. *TR

BOTH THE DRIVERS & PASSENGERS SUN VISORS HAVE BROKEN AT THEIR INTERNAL PLASTIC MOUNTS. WHEN A BUMP IN THE ROAD IS ENCOUNTERED THE VISOR WILL DROP DOWN AT THE MOUNT POINT AND OBSCURE VISIBILITY AND CREATE A DRIVING DISTRACTION OF TRYING TO GET IT BACK IN PLACE. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR BROKE WHILE DRIVING. IT FELL HALF-WAY DOWN BLOCKING MY LINE OF VIEW. THE DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE 4 YEARS AGO IN THE SAME FASHION. *JS

CAR LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON THE LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWAY. STEERING WHEEL JERKED, ESP LIGHT CAME ON AND POWER STEERING FAILED. CAR SAT OVERNIGHT AND WAS FINE THE NEXT DAY. SITUATION RECURRED ON OR ABOUT 1/19/13 AND 12/5/13. EACH TIME THE PROBLEM RESOLVED ITSELF OVERNIGHT. IT OCCURRED AGAIN ON 4/23/14. AFTER THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE, POWER STEERING HAS FAILED COMPLETELY AND HAS NOT BEEN RESTORED. *JS

I WAS TRAVELING ON A TWO LANE ROAD, THE CAR JURKED QUICKLY TO THE LEFT ACROSS CENTER LINE. THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING LITE CAME ON AND THE CAR WAS UNSTEERABLE. I FINALLY GOT THE CAR OFF THE ROAD TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT THE STEERING CAME BACK ON. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN A YEAR THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED. DEALER ADJUSTED MOTOR FIRST TIME SAID IT WAS FIXED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM YOU CAN NOT STEER THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENS.I WAS VERY LUCKY THERE WAS NO CAR COMMING IN THE OTHER LANE. I HAVE LOOKED ON LINE TO SEE IF THIS IS A PROBLEM AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM.

DRIVER'S SUN VISOR DETACHED FROM ITS PIVOTING HINGE. THIS HAPPENED CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING (DUE TO NORMAL CAR VIBRATION), WHICH CAUSED A SAFE HAZARD. BEFORE IT WAS SECURED WITH ADHESIVE, I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE CABIN TEMPERATURE WAS HIGH (CAR PARKED UNDER THE SUN), IT WILL FALL OFF AS WELL WHILE THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. SINCE THE VISOR WAS SECURED WITH ADHESIVE AT ITS PIVOTING JOINT, THE VISOR CANNOT BE TURNED TO SHIELD THE DRIVER FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT COMING FROM THE SIDE WINDOW. *TT

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FALL OFF DURING DRIVING AND FEW MONTHS LATER PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR ALSO FELL OFF DURING THE DRIVING.THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING AGAINST THE SUN OR BRIGHT LIGHT. THERE IS NO SECURED FIT TO ATTACHED SUN VISOR, ATTACHED ONLY WITH THE ELECTRIC WIRE GOING INSIDE THRU VISOR.MANUFACTURING/DESIGN DEFECT. *TR

DRIVER SIDE VISOR KEPT FLOPPING DOWN UNTIL IT CAME LOOSE FROM THE BRACKET WHICH HELD IT. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER WANTS $175.00 TO REPLACE THE VISOR. *TR

WAS ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. 2ND INCIDENT WAS WHILE DRIVING APPX. 45MPH IT SHUT OFF, ON OR ABOUT 29 OCT.2013. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID, THIS WAS 1NOV. 2013, GOT THE CAR BACK ON 6 NOV. 2013. 3RD TIME WAS 16 NOV. 2013 WHILE EXITING THE INTERSTATE IT SHUT OFF ON THE RAMP. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER ON 17 NOV. 2013. GOT CAR BACK ON 19 NOV.2013. 4TH TIME WAS 27 NOV. 2013, SHUT OFF WHILE RUNNING IN PARK, RESTARTED AND SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE TRYING TO LEAVE PARKING LOT. TOOK BACK TO DEALER ON 29 NOV. 2013 AND GOT IT BACK 9 JAN.2014. THEY INSTALLED A BATTERY. 5TH TIME WAS 7 FEB 2014, SHUT OFF WHILE PULLING OFF AT A RED LIGHT AND AGAIN A HALF MILE FURTHER PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT. TOOK BACK TO THE DEALER ON 17 FEB. 2013 AND GOT IT BACK 20 FEB 2013. EACH TIME, DEALER SAYS COULD NOT DUPLICATE CONCERN AND OR COULD NOT GET A CODE. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. THIS MODEL WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL FOR A FAULTY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH BUT THE HYUNDAI INFORMS ME MINE IS NOT INCLUDED. I SUSPECT IT MAY BE THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

NO BRAKE LIGHTS, STOP LAMP SWITCH WAS FAULTY. *TR

IN SEPTEMBER 2012, FRIEND TOLD ME MY LEFT REAR BRAKE LIGHT WAS OUT. UPON INSPECTION, I NOTICED THE LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY WORKED AND DID NOT WORK. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE MY CONCERN. SO THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. I HAVE RECENTLY SEEN THE PROBLEM AGAIN. NOW, I'VE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTING. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, I SEE THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED IN APRIL 2013. WHY AM I ONLY BEING NOTIFIED NOW?? ESPECIALLY WHEN I BROUGHT THE ISSUE TO THEIR ATTENTION 6 MONTHS EARLIER AND THEY HAVE RECORD OF IT IN THE DEALER'S DATABASE?? *TR

THE STEERING SQUEAKS AND RATTLES ON ROUGH OR BUMPY SURFACES. IF YOU RELEASE TILT STEERING LEVER AND MOVE STEERING WHEEL UP AND DOWN. ITS MAKES LOUD SQUEAKING NOISES. THE NOISE CONTINUES IN ANY POSITION TILT STEERING IS PUT IN WHILE DRIVING. VERY IRRITATING NOISE .LIKE HAVING A MOUSE IN YOUR CAR. *TR

THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN TO RESOLVE ESCALATING PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING THAT FAILED INTERMITTENTLY AND WOULD NO LONGER RESET AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE, RENDERING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE. 127 MILES AFTER COMPLETION OF THE STEERING COLUMN REPLACEMENT, THE POWER STEERING AGAIN FAILED YESTERDAY EVENING WHILE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR. I REITERATE MY STATEMENT FROM THE PRIOR INCIDENT(S) THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE - NOT ONLY TO THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE, BUT TO OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL. THIS LONG-TIME HYUNDAI PROMOTER IS ABOUT TO BECOME A DETRACTOR. *TR

POWER STEERING FAILED AND EPS LIGHT ILLUMINATED. CONDITION CLEARED UPON STOPPING VEHICLE, AND RESTARTING IT. THIS CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY (MAYBE 10-15 INSTANCES, OFTEN WITH MONTHS BETWEEN OCCURRENCES) UNTIL OCTOBER (182900 MILES), WHEN EPS FAILED TO RESET. SPEED WAS NOT A CONSISTENT FACTOR; EPS WOULD DEACTIVATE AT ANY SPEED - INCLUDING AS LOW AS 20 MPH. ESPECIALLY IF/WHEN OCCURRING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR EPS COMPLAINTS FOR THIS MODEL/YEAR REPORTED ON VARIOUS TECH FORUMS AND AM CONCERNED THAT MY EXPERIENCE WAS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. DEALER REPLACED STEERING COLUMN TO RESOLVE ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT POWER STEERING SEIZED ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN MODULE NEEDED TO REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

BOTH SUN VISORS HAVE FAILED ON OUR 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHEN THE DRIVER'S VISOR FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, IT NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT WAS HANGING IN FRONT OF MY FACE, AND I COULDN'T SEE WHERE I WAS GOING. I HAVE SINCE REMOVED THE VISORS ALTOGETHER, AND NOW HAVE PROBLEMS DRIVING IN THE MORNING OR LATE AFTERNOON DUE TO THE SUN SHINING IN MY FACE. *TR

ITS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE COLD WEATHER HIT THE AREA. I WAS DRIVING ON ICE AND WENT TO TURN AND THE EPS LIGHT CAME ON AND MY ELECTRONIC ASSIST STEERING WENT OUT, OR GOT HARD TO STEER. ITS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BUT MY EVASIVE MANEUVERING I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY..I SHUT THE CAR OFF TO RESET THE EPS AND I WENT OFF. SO I HEADED BACK HOME AND BEFORE I COULD TURN THE CORNER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON...NOW ITS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY AND ITS BEGINNING TO SERIOUSLY BOTHER ME...ID HATE TO THINK OF ME DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND THAT HAPPENING TO MY CHILDREN..IM TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING! NOT HAPPY WITH IT. *TR
