2010 Hyundai Elantra complaints

POWER STEERING JUST STOPPED WORKING AND ECU LIGHT CAME ON.

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE FOR RECALL 127 ON 4/24/2020. THE RECALL WAS TO FIX THE STEERING FAILURE. AFTER THE RECALL WORK WAS COMPLETED, MY STEERING HAS GOTTEN WORSE. IT IS HARD TO STEER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, GETS IN A STUCK POSITION GOING STRAIGHT WHICH REQUIRES EFFORT TO "UNSTICK" AND THEN YOU OVER STEER. AT SLOW SPEEDS BACKING OUT AND TURNING OUT OF MY CARPORT THE STEERING IS WAY TOO TIGHT, THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING THIS IS STILL AN ISSUE AND ANOTHER RECALL NEEDS TO ISSUED. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM VERY CONCERNED.

EPS LIGHT RANDOMLY CAME ON AGAIN AND LOCKED MY STEERING WHICH IS DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND PARKING, CAN'T MOVE THE STEERING LEFT OR RIGHT. ISSUE HAS OCCURRED BEFORE AROUND THE INITIAL EPS RECALL, TOOK IT THEN TO THE SAME DEALER (SPORT HYUNDAI DODGE) WHERE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED TO UPDATE OR PATCH UP FIX. RECENTLY WENT TO THE DEALER TO ALSO FIX THE ABS MODULE RECALL AND RUN A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE EPS. THEY STATED IT'S THE STEERING COLUMN THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A $2100 REPAIR, WHICH THEY WILL FILE WITH THE MANUFACTURE TO SEE IF IT'S COVERED. BY READING THESE REPEATING COMPLAINTS, SOMETHING TELLS ME THAT THEY WILL CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE PROBLEM TILL IT'S IN HARMS WAY INSTEAD OF PREVENTING THE SAFETY ISSUES. CURRENTLY HAD TO GIVE UP WORKING HOURS AND IN FINANCIAL STRESS OVER A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED CORRECTLY IN THE BEGINNING. *TR

THE AIRBAG WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT TURNED ON AND WOULD GO ON AND OFF, BUT WOULDN'T TELL ME WHETHER IT IS FOR THE PASSENGER LIGHT (WHICH HAS BECOME FAULTY SOMETIMES HAVING A FALSE POSITIVE OR FALSE NEGATIVE TO WHETHER THE PASSENGER IS THERE), BUT MOST RECENTLY HAS STAYED ON PERMANENTLY WITH THE PASSENGER LIGHT CORRECTLY READING OFF - IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER THAT MEANS THAT THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE OR IF THE DRIVER'S SIDE WOULD NOT DEPLOY. IT IS UNCLEAR WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG OVERALL AND IF THE CAR HAS SWITCHED OFF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE WARNING LIGHT HAS SWITCHED OFF A FEW TIMES SEEMINGLY INDICATING EVERYTHING IS FINE, HOWEVER IT NOW STAYS ON REGARDLESS OF WHERE DRIVEN. *TR

HYDROPLANED HEAD ON INTO A GUARDRAIL AND AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY DOING 23+ MPH. HIGHWAY GOING AROUND A TURN.

WE RECEIVED A LETTER IN REGARDS TO A SAFETY RECALL ON THE 2010 ELANTRA. WE OWN TWO OF THIS VEHICLE. I CONTACTED HUNTINGTON HYUNDAI, IN HUNTINGTON, N.Y. TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. AS PER JOE SANTIAGO WHO ANSWERED, THEY ARE NOT TAKING APPOINTMENTS FOR THIS REPAIR, AND WILL ONLY BE ACCEPTING VEHICLES ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS MONDAY - FRIDAY 9 AM - 5 PM. IT WAS EXPLAINED THAT WE MAY HAVE TO COME BACK MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS ACCEPTED FOR REPAIR. AS A FIRST RES PONDER I AM STILL WORKING DURING THE OUTBREAK AND WILL BE UNABLE TO TAKE MULTIPLE DAYS OFF FROM WORK TO "TRY" TO GET THE CAR IN. THEY WERE VERY UNHELPFUL AND UNNECESSARILY RUDE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CONVERSATION.

THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED OR NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 182,064.

I HAVE EXCESS PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL/BUMPING/CLICKING, WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. THIS CAUSES A SHIMMY IN THE FRONT END WHEN BRAKING. THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES SO FAR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING. THERE IS NO EXCESS PLAY IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING. THERE IS EXCESS PLAY ANYTIME THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL MOVE SEVERAL INCHES WITHOUT MOVING THE FRONT WHEELS.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HYUNDAI REGARDING MY 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. A RECALL RELAY IN THE VEHICLES MAIN JUNCTION BOX. FOR THE ANTI- LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. IT WAS RECALL FEB 2020.RECEIVED THE LETTER APRIL 6,2020. THEY WAITED TO LONG TO SEND THE LETTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V061000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT FAILED TO EFFECTIVELY SLOW THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE TWO DOLLAR PART WITH VERY HIGH LABOR COST. THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2015 PROBLEM WAS OBVIOUSLY MISS DIAGNOSIS IT IS THE STEERING COUPLING. IT CAN CAUSE A LOST IF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS A TOTAL CASE SPECIALIST FOR KIA CONSUMER AFFAIRS THE COMPANY SHOULD BE TAKING CAR OF A LOT OF ISSUES THAT THEY TELL CUSTOMERS IT OUT OF WARRANTY OR YOU MISSED A OIL CHANGE SO THE WARRANTY IS VOID. I TOOK SEVERAL IF THE CALLS THAT VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. NHTSA YOU SHOULD BE FOR CONSUMERS YOU HEAR THE SAME COMPLAINT OVER AND OVER FROM OWNERS OF KIA AND HYUNDAI . MOST OF THERE CARS ARE CRAP I GOT THE SAME CALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUES OVER AND OVER

IT SEEMS THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM SO I WILL KEEP IT BRIEF. MY CAR HAS 150000 ON IT. THERE IS A CLICKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE EPS. THE CLICKING HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING OR PARKED. AT ALL TIMES. I WENT INTO A DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW STEERING RACK. THE REPAIR COST MORE THAN THE CAR'S VALUE. I WENT IN TO HAVE REPAIRS FOR RECALLS IN 2018. I'M WONDERING IF THEY ACTUALLY FIXED IT BECAUSE THE EPS WAS ONE OF THE ISSUES.

THE CAR ALARM KEEPS GOING OFF WITHOUT ANY ACTIVITY ( PARKED AND LOCKED IN MY DRIVE WAY). I HAVE LOOKED THE CAR OVER BUT SO FAR I SEE NO REASON FOR THE ALARM TO BE TRIGGERED.

"EPS" ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING LIGHT ON. DEALER WONT COVER IT. I WILL LOSE STEERING EVENTUALLY THEY SAID. HYUNDAI MAIN OFFICE SAID CAR IS TO OLD AND HIGH MILES 94,000 MILES 2010 ELANTRA. I DONT KNOW THE EXACT DATE BUT LESTER GLENN IN TOMSRIVER NJ KNOWS.

MY RED AIR BAG NOTIFICATION ON MY DASHBOARD STAYS ON. WAS TOLD THIS MEANS NO AIR BAG COVERAGE. ALSO THAT IT IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. I AM DRIVING THIS BUT ONLY BECAUSE DEALERSHIP SAID I WOULD NEED TOO PAY FOR INSPECTION TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS THEN PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE I AM A SENIOR DRIVER AND NEVER HAD A TICKET BUT AM WORRIED THAT THIS MAY CAUSE IT TO DEPLOY ON IT'S OWN WHILE DRIVING. AS A SAFETY ISSUE I FEEL THIS NOT BE A CHARGE THAT I NEED TO COVER. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF A POWER STEERING RECALL. ONLY TOLD ABOUT IT SOME TIME AFTER I PAID TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. NOW I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE HANDLED AS A SAFETY ISSUE BY THE DEALER NOT ME. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THIS REGARDING THE RED LIGHT ALERT HAPPENING AND NOTHING BEING DONE.

THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED MAKES CLICKING NOISE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT BACK IN 2015 NOT SURE IF IT WAS REPLACED THEN. I WAS TOLD THEY CANT FIX IT THE RECALL BACK FROM 2015.

IT IS AN OUTRAGE THAT HYUNDAI DOES NOT RESPOND TO THIS ISSUE AND THAT NHTSA IS LETTING THEM GET AWAY WITH IT. THERE IS A SMALL PLASTIC ITEM WHICH SELLS FOR ABOUT $6 ON AMAZON WHICH IS FAILING ON A HUGE NUMBER OF HYUNDAI VEHICLES. I AM REFERRING TO THE STEERING COUPLER. IT IS CAUSING A CLICKING WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR NOT. IF NOT ADDRESSED IN A TIMELY MANNER, APPARENTLY THIS CAN LEAD TO STEERING FAILURE. I BELIEVE KIA WAIVED THE 100,000 MILE LIMITATION ON THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS ITEM, HYUNDAI REFUSES TO DO SO. IT IS LABOR INTENSIVE, REQUIRING THE REMOVAL OF THE STEERING SYSTEM AND DEALERS CHARGE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO DO THE JOB. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT AGREED THAT SINCE THIS PART'S FAILURE IS SO COMMON, NHTSA OUGHT TO COME IN AND FORCE HYUNDAI TO FIX IT IN ALL THEIR VEHICLES, EVEN IF THEY HAVE OVER 100,000 MILES ON THEM.

MY 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA'S STEERING WHEEL STARTED CLICKING. SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE EPS LIGHT TURNS ON. I WAS WORKING AND COULD NOT TAKE IT IN. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT A FEW DAYS LATER AND ON MY WAY MY CAR STARTED LOCKING WHILE STEERING ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HIT A PARKED CAR. MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME NOTHING IS COVERED. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.

STEERING WHEEL VERY TIGHT,AND CLICKS WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL IN MOTION,AND WHEN STATIONARY THIS CAR WAS RECALLED IN 2015 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM

EPS LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A TOTAL COST OF $2500 APPROX (REPLACE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN). CAR HAS ONLY 113K. NOW I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. THERE WAS A RECALL TO UPDATE THE EPS CONTROL UNIT WHICH MY MECHANIC SAYS IS JUST A PATCH AND NOT A REAL FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON A LOT OF HYUNDAI VEHICLES. MY POWER STEERING WAS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AND IS NOW COMPLETELY OFF, MY CAR WAS PARKED.

LOUD NOISE STARTED COMING FROM ENGINE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. TAKEN TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND DIAGNOSTICS INDICATED A BAD ENGINE

THE EPS LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON ONE DAY. I WAS WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR, SO I WENT TO A NEARBY MECHANIC FIRST. HE INFORMED ME THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY STEERING COLUMN AND AN OPEN RECALL FOR MY VIN. HE ENCOURAGED ME TO GO TO A DEALERSHIP AND SEE IF THE RECALL WAS CONNECTED TO THE STEERING ISSUE. I WENT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE EPS LIGHT CAME BACK ON. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, THE AIRBAG LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. I PARKED THE CAR FOR FEAR OF A POSSIBLE INCIDENT. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER INITIAL DIAGNOSTICS, I WAS INFORMED THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE TECHNICIAN WANTS TO START THE AIRBAG FIX BY REPLACING THE SENSOR UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. EACH REPAIR WAS OVER $2,000 WITH MY GRAND TOTAL BEING JUST OVER $4,800 AND NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL BE SAFE TO DRIVE AT THAT POINT. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT BOTH OF THESE ISSUES AND PEOPLE WITH UNDER 60,000 MILES DEALING WITH $2,000+ DOLLAR REPAIRS. IF THE STEERING GOES OUT, IT HAS CAUSED ACCIDENTS. THAT COUPLED WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT, WHICH NOTIFIES THE WHOLE AIRBAG SYSTEM HAS BEEN DISABLED, MAKES THIS CAR TOTALLY UNSAFE TO OPERATE. EVEN OUT OF THEIR WARRANTY PERIOF NOW, THESE WERE REPORTED ISSUES THAT I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED USED IN 2013. I CONTACTED THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND MADE MY COMPLAINT. WHEN I RECEIVED A CALLBACK, I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE MY CAR IS OVER THE MILEAGE WARRANTY AN

RECENTLY, THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING FEW TIMES. IT HAPPENED ALSO WHILE STARTING THE CAR. THE EPS LIGHT WENT ON AND THE STEERING COLUMN WOULDN'T BUDGE. I TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, THE POWER STEERING WORKED UNTIL IT FAILS ON ROAD! I LOOKING ONLINE AND SAW RECALL # 127 ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS AND ACCIDENTS SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THERE WAS A STEERING COLUMN 'SOFTWARE UPDATE' RECALL IN 2015 DONE. I HAD NO ISSUE THEN. I GOT MESSAGE YESTERDAY SAYING IT WILL COST ME ABOUT $3,500 TO HAVE 'BURNT OUT' STEERING COLUMN FIX. THE STEERING COLUMN IS BURN OUT BECAUSE IT FAILS. THIS IS SUCH A CLEAR CASE OF MAJOR MALFUNCTION, EVIDENCED BY YOUR 2015 'SOFTWARE UPDATE' RECALL AND THE THOUSANDS OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS, ACCIDENTS AND HIGHWAY SAFETY INVOLVEMENT, THAT I AM STUNNED AND DISMAYED THAT HYUNDAI WON'T REPAIR IT. I AM ASKING YOU TO PLEASE CONSIDER HAVING THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN REPAIRED AT HYUNDAI EXPENSE. I RARELY DRIVE THE CAR AND WHEN I DO, I AM SO LIGHT ON IT. I SIMPLY CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE A CAR AT THIS TIME AND REFUSE TO PAY THAT KIND OF MONEY TO REPAIR THAT, WHICH IS IT THE FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURE. PLEASE CONSIDER MY REQUEST. CAR AT MYRTLE BEACH HYUNDAI 1887 HIGHWAY 501MYRTLE BEACHSC29577

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU) SENSES A DISCREPANCY IN THE STEERING INPUT SIGNALS AND, AS A RESULT, DISABLING THE STEERING POWER ASSIST. MY YOUNG DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I SEE THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED IN CERTAIN MODELS OF THE SAME YEAR BUT NOT OUR VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND POWER STEERING ASSIST WAS LOST, GREATER EFFORT TO STEER THE VEHICLE AT A LOW SPEED.

EPS LIGHT RECENTLY CAME ON. TOOK CAR TO THE DEALER, DEALER SAYS THAT THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN NEEDS REPLACED. CAR CURRENTLY DRIVES NORMALLY, BUT DEALER SAYS THAT POWER STEERING COULD BE LOST A ANY TIME. COST FOR REPAIR IS $3500.

THE EPS LIGHT IS ON AT 135,000 MILES. THE STEERING MAKES A CLICKING NOISE EVERY TIME YOU MOVE THE WHEEL . HAVENT GOTTEN IN CONTACT WITH HYUNDAI AS OF TODAY, BUT WILL BE WRITING TO THEM TO SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO DO BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS AND THE STEERING FREEZES, AS THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE CASE WITH OTHER FOLKS

AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH CAME ON AND WON'T SHUT OFF. AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY EVEN IN A CRASH WITH THIS LIGHT ON.

MY STEERING WHEELS FEELS LIKE IT LOCKED. IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT FEELS FIRM IN PLACE UNLESS I TURN IT REALLY HARD WITH FORCE AND IT'S MOVES THE VEHICLE SLIGHTLY TO THE DIRECTION I TURN TOO. IT'S USUALLY HAPPENS RANDOMLY SO I CAN'T PREDICT WHEN IT WILL LOCK IN PLACE. THERE'S BEEN A COUPLE OF TIMES WHERE I'M PARKED AND GETTING READY TO LEAVE AND AS I HEAD OUT OF MY PARKING SPOTS I GET STUCK BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IN RED LETTERS "EPS" SHOW UP ON MY DASHBOARD. THIS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I'M DRIVING NORMALLY IN THE FREEWAY. WHEN SIGN EPS SHOWS UP AND I HAVE TO PARK MY CAR ON THE SIDE WITH EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AND COMPLETELY TURN OFF MY CAR IN ORDER TO DRIVE NORMALLY AND FOR THE EPS LIGHT TO TURN OFF ON THE DASHBOARD. WHEN TURNING ON CITY STREETS, MY STEERING WHEEL ALSO LOCKS ITSELF IN PLACE AT RANDOM TIMES. THE TURNS ARE USUALLY WIDE AND AWKWARD BECAUSE I CAN'T MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN EPS IS ON THE DASHBOARD. HENCE WHY I TURN ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS THEN THIS OCCASION HAPPENS. I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT CARMAX IN THE YEAR OF 2015 BUT IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FREQUENTLY THIS YEAR.

STARTED THE CAR ON JUNE 24, 2019 WITH THE INTENTION TO GO TO WORK. THE EPS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE LIGHT DID NOT GO OUT AS USUAL. ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE WHEELS WERE VERY HARD TO TURN. BECAUSE THE WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN ENOUGH TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF THE CAR. IT WAS DEEM UNDRIVEABLE AND UNSAFE. THE CAR WAS AT HOME. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOW TO THE HYRNDAI DEALERSHIP ON JULY 2. 2019 AND AS OF JULY 14, THE CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP BEING REPAIRED.

AS I WAS EXITING THE HIGHWAY ONTO A SHARP CURVED OFF RAMP, UNEXPECTEDLY THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN WITHOUT WARNING. THIS UNEXPECTED LOSS OF MY POWER STEERING ALMOST PUT ME INTO THE ROADS GUARD RAILWHILE NAVIGATING THE OFF RAMP. I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL AND SAFELY PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I NOTICED THE 'EPS' LIGHT WAS ON. I SHUT OF MY VEHICLE AND TRIED TO TROUBLE SHOOT IT, WHICH I WAS UNABLE TO DO. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND MY STERRING RETURNED TO NORMAL POWER STEERING MODE. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THEY COULD TROUBLESHOOT THE EPS ISSUE, AGAIN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING WITH THE EPS LIGHT TURNING ON. THE VEHICLE IS BEING TAKEN TO HYUNDAI OF SLIDELL FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 15876848 THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 148,000.

"TAKATA RECALL"

ON SATURDAY JUNE 15 MY EPS CAME ON. I LOOKED IT UP AND SAYS THERE IS A RECALL ON THE STEERING. TODAY JUNE 17 I CALLED HYUANDAI AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NO RECALL. I WOULD RECOMMEND ALL 2010 ELANTRAS GET LOOKED AT FOR A RECALL ON THE STEERING. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND DRIVING THE CAR VERY FAR TILL YOU GET IT CHECKED OUT. I STARTED THE CAR WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON SATURDAY

AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY DURING FRONT END CRASH AT 35-40 MPH

THIS LIGHT CAME OF SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR AND AFTER 15 MINS OF DRIVING IT EVERYTIME SEEMS TO CONE UP IVE TRIED PRESSING THE OFF BUTTON FOR IT BUT THAT DOESNT WORK THE CAR SEEMS TO STEER ITSELF AT TIMES ALONG WITH OCCASIONAL BREAK PROBLEMS... I TRIED TO ANSWER YES TO IT HAD BEEN IN A WRECK BUT DIDNT KNOW ANY OF THE REQUIRED INFORMATION FOLLOWING THAT BECAUSE I DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE WRECK SINCE IT HAPPENED DURING THE POSSESION OF ITS PREVIOUS OWNER ALL I WAS TOLD IS THAT IT HAD BEEN IN A WRECK DURING PURCHASE

THE STEERING COLUMN FELL INTO MY LAP WHEN I WAS PARKING THE CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY. MY REPAIR SHOP TOLD ME THAT ALL THE SCREWS HOLDING IT IN PLACE HAD COME LOOSE.

TYPO: DATED SOFTWARE UPDATED WAS 5/7/2015 - 79,000 MILES - NOT 5/7/19 (TYPO ON DATE). SEE COMPLAINT NUMBER 11202976.

EPS LIGHT IS ON. RECALL #127 AND #110 ONLY UPDATED EPS SOFTWARE WHEN IF FACT THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACED ON OVER 300,000 CARS RECALLED FROM 2008-2010. MY CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER ON 5/7/2019 AND EPS SOFTWARE UPDATED ONLY!!!! CASE NO. 15684240. MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO DO ANOTHER RECALL FOR SAFETY REASONS AND SAFE LIVES!!! PEOPLES POWER STEERING IS BEING LOST. PLEASE READ ALL COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET AND CONTACT CORPORATE AT HYUNDAI. CAR HAS 97,000 MILES ON IT. EPS SOFTWARE UPDATED ON 5/7/2015 WITH 79,000 MILES. HYUNDAI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING ALL STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY, NOT THE CONSUMER AT OVER $2,400. BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS CAR, I CHECKED VIN AND NO OPEN RECALLS. I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR IF I KNEW OVER 300,000 VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED AND HYUNDAI WOULD NOT FIX!!! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED.

MY TRANSMISSION JERKS WHEN IT CHANGES GEARS AND ALSO WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. I GOT THE CAR FROM A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM THAT THERE WAS A SLIGHT JERK IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE SALES GUY LIED TO ME AND SAID IT WAS A CVT TRANSMISSION AND THAT THEY ALL DO THAT. I WENT TO A FEW TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND THE GUYS LAUGHED AT ME BECAUSE MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE A CVT TRANSMISSION. THEY ALL DID A TRAN SCAN AND NOTHING CAME UP ON THE SCANNER. THE SHOPS ARE TRYING TO CHARGE ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS JUST TO OPEN UP THE TRANSMISSION TO SEE WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. IT'S SO WACK TO BE PAYING A CAR NOTE ON A CAR WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL OF THE ELANTRA AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISNT A RECALL.
