2011 Hyundai Elantra complaints

A FEW WEEKS AGO I NOTICED A POPPING NOISE COMING FROM MY STEERING AREA WHEN I MADE TURNS. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE COULD FIND THE ACTUAL PART BUT KNEW IT WAS COMING FROM THE POWER STEERING ASSIST. AFTER SOME RESEARCH HE FOUND THAT A FEW PEOPLE WERE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE COUPLER INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE ATTACHED PICTURES OF THE THE PART LOOKED LIKE WHEN HE REMOVED IT. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING SINCE I USE THIS VEHICLE DAILY AND TRANSPORT MY 2 KIDS TO DAYCARE. I PUT LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON IT EACH YEAR SINCE DRIVING FROM HOME TO MY KIDS DAYCARE AND WORK PUT LESS THAN 10 MILES ON IT A DAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MAKE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. SHORTLY AFTER, THE TRANSMISSION DROPPED AND FRACTURED THE AXLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOUSE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY 2011 ELANTRA HAS NO ANY ACCIDENT, BUT THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEP ON.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: IT GRIEVES ME TO ESCALATE THIS CONCERN TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO SEEK RESOLUTION WITH HYUNDAI, BUT THE CORPORATE OFFICE IS UNRESPONSIVE AND IGNORANT TO THE SAFETY CONCERN. THE PROBLEM LIES IN THE DEFECT OF THE POWER STEERING COUPLER ON HYUNDAI ELANTRA MODELS THAT AFFECTS TIRES, STEERING, BALANCING, ALIGNMENT. THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE DEFECT AND HAS EITHER REPAIRED OR REIMBURSED OWNERS OF HYUNDAI ELANTRA FOR THE DEFECT UP TO 100,000 MILES OR 120,000 MILES WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY. I PURCHASED THE ELANTRA AT 89,000 MILES AND INQUIRED ABOUT A NOISE IN THE CAR. THE DEALER IGNORED IT, AND THE CARFAX DID NOT HAVE ANY MENTION OF THE DEFECT. AFTER TWO SETS OF TIRES, 3 ALIGNMENTS, AND ADDITIONAL REPAIR, I BEGAN TO WONDER AFTER, SEVERAL TIRES BLEW DURING MY DRIVE AFTER LOADING ON THE GROCERIES! HOW CAN THE TIRES WITH 50% LIFE LEFT--ALL OF THEM--BLOW ON THE ROAD? THERE IS NOTHING MENTIONED IN THE MANUAL? SADLY, DURING MY SEVERAL VISITS TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS (BOTH IN TAMPA AND ORLANDO), NOBODY AT THE DEALER MENTIONED ONCE ABOUT THIS ISSUE?! FINALLY, THE LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE I REPLACED THE TIRES INDICATED ABOUT THE COUPLER ISSUE. I REACHED OUT TO HYUNDAI'S CORPORATE OFFICE AND WAS INFORMED TO REPAIR AND WILL BE REIMBURSED. WELL, I REPAIRED THE ISSUE UPON DISCOVERY AT 122,800 MILES, BUT HYUNDAI IS REFUSING TO REIMBURSE FOR THE DEFECT OF THEIR ISSUE. I WRESTLE TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE TIRES

AIRBAG IS ON I RECEIVE A LETTER SAYING THERE IS WARRANTY FOR CLOCK SPRING I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHECK THE CAR WHATEVER THEY DID DOESN'T TURN OFF THE LIGHT THEY TOLD ME IF I WANT THIS TO GET FIXED I HAVE TO PAY TO MAKE SURE WHAT IT IS.1000S OF PEOPLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM SHOULD BE FREE AND RECALL

I HAD MY CAR FOR A YEAR. WHEN I FIRST GOT MY CAR , THERE WAS A KNOCKING NOISE THAT CAME FROM THE ENGINE , I TOOK IT BACK TO CARMAX TO FIX AND THEY STATED THEY DID. MY CAR RAN GOOD FOR A WHILE AND AROUND AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER AFTER LEAVING FROM WORK THAT SAME NOISE STARTED AGAIN. THIS TIME IT WAS BAD AND I ALMOST GOT INTO A WRECK. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC THEY STATED THAT I NEEDED MY ENGINE REPLACED. I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS A ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE MODELS. I ALSO SHOW THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AND MY CAR IS SHOWING THOSE EXACT SIGNS. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF INFORMATION FROM THE MECHANIC AND THE COST OF THE LABOR AND NEW ENGINE

THE CAR SENSORS KEEP GOING UP. THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR IS NOT SENDING A SIGNAL THAT THE CAR IS IN MOTION. WHEN PULL OUT ON TO A STREET OR HIGHWAY AND PRESS THE ACCELERATOR SOMETIMES MY CAR WILL STALL OR DROP SPEED. I FEAR SOMEONE WILL END UP RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF ME. WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR WILL STALL OR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. ALSO THE CAR HEADLIGHTS AND TAILS TIGHT BULBS BLOW WITHIN 4 OR 5 DAYS AFTER PUTTING NEW BULBS IN. THE CAM SENSOR FOR THE BACK UP CAMERA DOES NOT WORK AS WELL.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO AWAY. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN INTO ACCIDENT NOR HAVE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. TECHNICIANS BELIEVE THAT IT IS A DEFECT WITH THE VEHICLE.

ON SUNDAY, MAY 20TH, 2018 AT AROUND 2:00 P.M. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH WARWICK CITY PARK WITH MY WIFE AND SON. UPON APPROACHING A SPEED BUMP, I SLOWED TO ABOUT 5 TO 10 MPH. IMMEDIATELY AFTER GOING OVER THE SPEED BUMP MY TIRE BLEW OUT AND THE CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY. I WAS TOWED VIA FLATBED TO NEW ENGLAND TIRE CAR CARE CENTERS ON WARWICK AVE, WARWICK, RI. THE MECHANICAL INSPECTION FINDINGS WERE AS FOLLOWS: FLAT TIRE ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE RIPPED OFF THE RIM CAUSE BY FRACTURED COIL SPRING. NEW ENGLAND TIRE REPLACED THE STRUTS/COIL SPRINGS AND TIRE. THE TOTAL BILL WAS $1,400.99. ON JULY 5TH, 2018, I DISCOVERED THAT HYUNDAI PREFORMED A SAFETY RECALL ON 28,157 CARS WITH THE SAME ISSUE THAT OCCURRED TO MY VEHICLE. THE RECALL WAS NAMED 'RECALL #133' AND BEGAN ON JANUARY 6TH, 2016. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL. A QUOTE FROM HYUNDAI RECALL #133 STATS: 'CONSEQUENCE: IF A FRONT COIL SPRING FRACTURES, IT MAY CONTACT THE TIRE, POSSIBLY PUNCTURING IT, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.' THE SUMMARY OF THE RECALL STATES THAT 'HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 ELANTRA VEHICLES MANUFACTURED NOVEMBER 12, 2010, TO MARCH 31, 2011.' THIS IS A TOTAL OF 140 DAYS INCLUDING 28,157 VEHICLES. MY VEHICLE IS A HYUNDAI ELANTRA 2011 MANUFACTURED ON: APRIL 16TH, 2011. I REALIZED THAT THE REASON MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL #133 WAS THAT I MISSED THE END DATE (MARCH 31, 2011) BY 16 DAYS. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL GIVEN THE REASONABLE FACT TH

CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN IN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR STALLED. OIL FLOW IS MALFUNCTIONING IN THE ENGINE CAUSING ROD PROBLEMS. ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I AM TOLD THAT THE ENGINE RODS ARE BAD AND THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACE. I CONTACTED THE WARRANTY COMPANY HOWEVER THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR DUE TO TIRE ROTATIONS AND SPARK PLUGS PURCHASED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS REPLACED PERSONALLY.

GOT MY 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA IN 2017 AT 94K MILES. AIR BAG LIGHT IS CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED, ESC LIGHT HAD BEEN ON FOR APPROX. 6-8 WEEKS. ALSO, NONE OF THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WORK. NONE OF THE CONTROLS HAVE WORKED SINCE I GOT THE CAR. NO CRUISE CONTROL, I CAN'T RESET MY TRIP ODOMETER, I CAN'T CONTROL THE VOLUME FOR MY RADIO, NOR CAN I CONTROL THE BLUETOOTH FOR MY HANDS FREE USAGE. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WOULD BE A FEE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM LOOKED AT, BUT SAW A HYUNDAI MECHANIC BY CHANCE IN A GAS STATION AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CLOCK SPRING COULD BE FAULTY. THIS IS AN ISSUE, ESPECIALLY FOR COMMUTERS LIKE MYSELF. ALSO, MPG HAS DRASTICALLY DECREASED. WAS GETTING ALMOST 35 MPG, NOW IT'S ONLY ABOUT 25 MPG.

POSSIBLE CRANKSHAFT ANGLE SENSOR FAILURE. CAR WILL NOT START PROPERLY OR STALLS AFTER STARTING AND SHIFTING GEARS. NEW BATTERY INSTALLED 9/29/2018. NO SPARK PLUGS OR ALTERNATOR ISSUES NOTED AFTER MECHANICAL TESTING. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AS MOST MECHANICS CANNOT LOCATE THE ISSUE IN TESTING.

WELL DRIVING I STARTED TO HEAR A CLANKING NOISE AND PULLED OVER. I LOOKED UNDER MY CAR TO SEE A PIECE OF METAL HANGING UNDER MY CAR. LONG STORY SHORT MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE SPRING SNAPPED AND PUNCTURED MY WHEEL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIXED AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT PART, AFTER DOING SOME INVESTIGATION THEY TOLD ME EVEN THO THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY EXACT MAKE AND MODEL MY VIN WASN'T ONE OF THE CARS BEING COVERED. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO FIGHT THIS!?

VEHICLE RANDOMLY DOES NOT START. WHEN KEY IS TURNED TO POSITION ONE LIGHTS, RADIO, WINDOWS, INDICATOR LIGHTS ALL WORK AS EXPECTED. WHEN KEY IS TURNED TO START THE ENGINE NOTHING HAPPENS. THE ENGINE DOES NOT TURNOVER OR EVEN ATTEMPT TO TURNOVER. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED IN APRIL 2018. AT THAT TIME I HAD THE ALTERNATOR AND STARTER CHECKED BOTH WERE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE IT HAS ALWAYS STARTED, EVENTUALLY; IT CAN TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 2 MINUTES TO 30+ MINUTES FOR THE ENGINE TO ENGAGE. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED OCCURRING IT HAPPENED PRETTY OFTEN. PRIOR TO LAST FRIDAY IT HAD BEEN A COUPLE MONTHS SINCE IT TOOK MORE THAN 30 MINUTES TO START. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER MECHANIC YESTERDAY. AGAIN STARTER, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR ARE ALL FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE MECHANIC MENTIONED THAT THIS MODEL IS KNOWN TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY MAY KNOW WHAT IT IS EXACTLY. I'VE CALLED TWO DEALERSHIPS TODAY, BOTH SAY THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IGNITION PROBLEMS IN THE VEHICLE.

AIRBAG WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ON CONTINUOUSLY. I HAVE 10 YEAR WARRENTY. I WANT OR HOPE IT'S COVERED. I HAVE MAINTAINED MY CAR PROPERLY. AS HYUNDAI RECORDS SHOW.

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON ON A LOT OF THIS MODEL VEHICLES. DEALERS WANT TO CHARGE A LOT OF MONEY TO CHECK AND FIX. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. THIS LIGHT COMES ON UNEXPECTED DRIVING OR JUST STATIONARY. AND THE POSSIBILITY OF THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING IS AN ISSUE

THE CAR MAKES A REALLY BAD TICKING NOISE IN WHEN I CAME TO AN COMPLETE STOP THE ENGINE STALLED IN IT KINDA JUMPED LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO I'M SO AFRAID OF THE CAR JUS COMPLETELY NOT WORKING ANYMORE IN I DRIVE EVERYDAY WITH MY KIDS THIS IS REALLY A SAD THING HYUNDAI HAS TO KNOW THESE ENGINES ARE BAD.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON A FEW MONTHS AGO. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. IT IS SAID TO BE THE CLOCKSPRING. HYUNDAI WANTS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE THIS. THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THE LIGHT IS ON, MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS CAR. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED! IT IS WORTH NOTHING THAT I DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM UNTIL AFTER HYUNDAI FIXED THE ECM RECALL. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AS I DROVE HOME FROM THIS SERVICE.

CAR WILL NOT START SOME TIMES. DEALER SAYS NOTHING WRONG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. ALSO, THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. FURTHERMORE, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,866.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (HYUNDAI OF CONCORD, 1051 BURNETT AVE, CONCORD CA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

MY VEHICLE PICKED UP A SLIGHT VIBRATION AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES. THE VIBRATION HAS GOTTEN WORST OVER TIME. I AM CURRENTLY AT 57,000 MILES AND THE VIBRATION CAN BE INTENSELY FELT INSIDE THE VEHICLE BY ALL PASSENGERS WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP/IDLING/STATIONARY. THE VIBRATION GETS MORE INTENSE WHEN YOU HAVE THE A/C RUNNING. I HAVE CHECKED SEVERAL FORUM PAGES AND OTHER DRIVERS WITH SIMILAR CARS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO A CERTIFIED HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO BE SERVICE. I PAID $130 FOR A FULL DIAGNOSTIC ON JULY 17, 2018 AFTER THE VIBRATIONS STARTED GETTING WORST, AND NOTHING WAS FOUND ABOUT THE VIBRATIONS. MECHANICS COULDN'T PINPOINT WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. I FEEL THESE VIBRATIONS EVERYDAY, AND SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I AM IN MY VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS IT IS CAUSING UNEASINESS AND STRESS. THE VIBRATIONS CAN BE FELT AT ALL SPEEDS AND MORE INTENSE IF YOU HAVE THE A/C ON. I EXPERIENCE THE ISSUE IN ALL SEASON AND WEATHER CONDITIONS.

BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN 2014 WITH APPROX 24,000 MILES. RAN GREAT FIRST 2 YEARS BUT AT APPROX 39,000 MILES A VERY LOUD ENGINE KNOCK DEVELOPED AND HAS EFFECTED THE ENGINE PERFORMANCE. THIS ISSUE IS PRESENT AT START UP, IDLE, IN MOTION, EACH TIME THE CAR IS RUNNING. HYUNDAI SERVICE MYSTERIOUSLY COULD NOT HEAR OR DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. ENGINE KNOCK HAS CONTINUED GET WORSE AND POWER HAS DIMINISHED. THE ENGINE HAS NOT YET FAILED BUT MOST CERTAINLY WILL VERY SOON. MY FAMILY IS AT RISK EACH AND EVERY TIME WE USE THIS CAR. THE ENGINE PROBLEMS ARE SIMILAR TO THE SONATA'S AND SANTA FE'S AS WELL AS THE KIA OPTIMA MODELS FROM 2011 THRU 2014 WHICH WERE PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AFTER WHICH THERE WAS A ENGINE RECALL. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT HYUNDAI HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY TO USED ELANTRA MODELS TO 5 YEARS AND 60,000 MILES. AT THIS POINT WE HAVE ONLY 56,000 MILES BUT THE CAR IS 7 YEARS OLD. THEY HAVE A KNOWN MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND ARE NOT OWNING IT FOR ALL AFFECTED AND THAT'S CATASTROPHIC FOR THOSE OF US NOT COVERED. DEALER HAS TOLD ME IF I HAVE ENGINE FAILURE THE COST OF A NEW ENGINE WILL BE NEAR $5000. HYUNDAI MAKES ATTRACTIVE CARS BUT THEIR LACK OF COMPASSION TO THE VICTIMS OF THEIR POOR MANUFACTURING PROCESS MAKES HYUNDAI A POOR CHOICE. THERE HAVE BEEN CLASS ACTION SUITS FOR THE SONATA AND OPTIMA BUT NO JUDGEMENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF ELANTRA MOTORS WHO'S ENGINES SUFFER THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. THERE WAS A WHISTLE BLOWER WHO OPENED THIS ALL UP AND SAID THE JUDGEMENT WAS NOT FAR REACHING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SUSPENSION SPRING FRACTURED AND PUNCTURED THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUSPENSION FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000. *TT THE CONSUMER STATED THE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE VEHICLE. *TR

MY CAR HAS MAKING NOISE FOR A WHILE. EMAILED HYUNDAI AND WAS TOLD IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND NO RECALL FOR ENGINE. SEVERAL COMPLAINTS HA E BEEN MADE ONLINE FOR THIS CAR REGARDING THE ENGINE WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT'S MY ONLY CAR AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY $5000 FOR A NEW ENGINE. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR STALLED AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO GRIND THE ENGINE UP.

ELECTRONIC IGNITION SPORADICALLY FAILS DURING VERY COLD WEATHER. VEHICLE WAS PARKED UNDER CARPORT. UNKNOWN PART OR REASON. NO PROBLEM WITH BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR. AFTER TEMP INCREASED BY 10 DEGREES IT STARTED NORMALLY. IT WAS ABOUT 40 DEGREES EACH TIME IT HAPPENED.

ON MAY 22ND I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THERE WAS A LADY IN A JEEP INFRONT OF ME. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, CARS SLOWLY BEGAN TO MOVE AND AS SOON AS I ACCELERATED GENTLY THE LADY INFRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON HER BREAKS ABOUT 15 TO 20 FEET INFRONT OF ME. INSTINCTIVELY I SLAMMED ON MY BREAKS AS WELL BUT MY VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. INSTEAD IT CONTINUED FORWARD RIGHT INTO THE BACK OF HER JEEP. AT THE POINT OF IMPACT MY CAR WAS GOING ABOUT 10MPH. MY FOOT NEVER CAME OFF THE BREAKS AND I HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH SPACE TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP. HAD THE BREAKS NOT FAILED ME I WOULD NOT BE DEALING WITH AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS MY FIRST AUTO COLLISION AND I WANT SOMEONE TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE FAULTY BREAKS. THEY HAVE NEVER FAILED BEFORE OR FAILED AN INSPECTION. NOR WERE THERE ANY INDICATORS PRIOR TO THEM FAILING TO STOP. THE LADYS JEEP ONLY HAS MINOR SCRATCHES AND THE WHOLE HOOD OF MY ELANTRA IS DESTROYED, THE RADIATOR IS CAVED IN, GRILL IS SMASHED, HEADLIGHT IS GONE. I BELIEVE THE CAR IS TOTALLED. THE DAMAGE IS MOST LIKELY WORTH MORE THAN THE CAR. I NEVER EVEN MADE IT PAST THE STOPLIGHT.

DRIVERS SIDE FRONT COIL SPRING COLLAPSED. NO RECALL NOTICE ON THIS BUT SEE PLENTY OF CHATTER ON THE WEB OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. FORTUNATE THAT IT DID NOT PUNCTURE TIRE BUT RUBBED ON INSIDE OF TIRE CAUSING CONCERN OF FUTURE BLOWOUT SO REPLACED FRONT COILS AND STRUTS AND TIRE!

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ONE OR MORE OF THE BRAKES GET ACTIVE WITHOUT USING THE BRAKES . ABS START KICKING AND THE CAR LOOSE POWER . IF I HATE THE BRAKE THE BRAKE PARKS GET REALLY SENSITIVE AND THE CAR START SHAKING . HAPPENED TOO MANY TIMES AND I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FINED ANY PROBLEMS . FROM MY EXPERIENCE THIS IS A USE SENSOR PROBLEM AND I SPOKE WITH HONDA OF AMERICA AND THEY SAID MY CAR AND MY VIN # HAS NO RECALL .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL TAPPING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WINNER HYUNDAI (591 S DUPONT HWY, DOVER, DE 19901) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW ENGINE WAS NEEDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TRADED IN; THEREFORE, THE CONTACT NO LONGER OWNS THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

RIGHT FRONT COIL SPRING FRACTURED AND PUNCTURED RIGHT FRONT TIRE. VEH WAS OPERATING AT LOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT. APPEARS THIS IS RELATED TO RECALL #15V629000.?

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN PITTSBURGH. WHILE IN MOTION, MY PASSENGER SIDE SPRING SPLIT IN HALF, SEVERING THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. THE SPRING BROKE INSTANTLY WITHOUT WARNING AND LEFT ME STRANDED IN HEAVY AM TRAFFIC. I AM REQUESTING FULL REIMBURSEMENT FOR ALL DAMAGES AND A FULL DAY OF WORK THA WAS MISSED BECAUSE OF THIS MAJOR MALFUNCTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ODOR OF ANTIFREEZE COMING THROUGH THE AIR CONDITIONING VENTS WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AFTER NOTICING SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO PIAZZA HYUNDAI OF POTTSTOWN (84 AUTOPARK BLVD, LIMERICK, PA 19468 (484) 933-4074) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE LONG ENGINE BLOCK WAS NO LONGER BEING MADE BY HYUNDAI AND THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE CONTACT INQUIRED ABOUT HYUNDAI BUYING BACK THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, ENGINE WENT INTO A LOUD WHINE SOUND AND THE CAR LOST POWER. CAR WOULD NOT START OR EVEN TRY TO TURN OVER WHEN TRYING TO START. WE HAVE HAD PREVIOUS PROBLEMS INVOLVING THE ENGINE AND EVEN CONTACTED HYUNDAI BECAUSE I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE EXACT ENGINE THAT IS INVOLVED HERE, BUT HYUNDAI REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS BECAUSE IT WASN'T THE SAME MODEL CAR INVOLVED IN THE ENGINE RECALL. BUT IT WAS THE EXACT ENGINE MODEL. ATTACHED IS A LETTER FROM MY MECHANIC

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR HAD BEEN ILLUMINATED SINCE OCTOBER 2, 2014. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ACTION HYUNDAI IN MILLVILLE, NEW JERSEY WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE ALLOWABLE MILEAGE TO HAVE THE REPAIRS PERFORMED FOR FREE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

"TAKATA RECALL" ITS WAS ALRIGHT GOING TO STORE BUT GOING BACK HOME THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF AND IT WONT START

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON.

MY VEHICLE HAS HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE FLEX STEERING CUPPLING. IT MAKES A VERY LOUD NOISE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND BECOMES VERY HARD TO CONTROL.

TAKATA RECALL: THREE WEEKS AGO THE WARNING LIGHT FOR MY AIR BAG STARTED GOING ON AND OFF. LAST WEEK THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STILL ON ALL THE TIME.TODAY I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND AFTER THE SCAN THE PROBLEM IN HIS COMPUTER, HE FOUND A PROBLEM IN A ELECTRONIC COMPONENT OF THE AIR BAG CIRCUIT, HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG IN THAT MODEL. THE PROBLEM BEGUN WHEN THE CAR WAS MOVING ON CITY STREET. I TRY TO REPORT IT DIRECTLY TO TAKATA RECALL BUT EVERY TIME I TRIED, THE COMPUTER DOES NOT RECOGNIZE MY HYUNDAI VIN NUMBER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE DEFLATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COIL SPRINGS WERE FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V629000 (SUSPENSION) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION, BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 91,000.

I STARTED MY CAR AND IT HAD DEVELOPED A LOUD KNOCK. MY CAR HAS JUST OVER 82K MILES. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. I TOOK MY CAR TO TWO DEALERSHIPS AND BOTH SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM/DEFECT FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL YEAR. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY A COATING ON THE PISTONS COMING OFF THAT EVENTUALLY CAUSES THE KNOCK AND ENGINE FAILURE. ONE DEALERSHIP HAD 3 ELANTRAS IN THEIR SHOP FOR THE SAME ISSUE. MY CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AS I AM THE SECOND OWNER. THIS DEFECT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE AS THE SONATAS WHICH WERE RECALLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER WHILE BEING OPERATED AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. VISION HYUNDAI WEBSTER (755 RIDE RD, WEBSTER, NY) WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,554.

INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH STARTING THE VEHICLE (2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA) , MOSTLY AFTER OVERNIGHT PARKING, GENERALLY FROM A PARKED, NON START POSITION. WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY, A SINGLE CLICK. YOU MAY TRY A SECOND OR SIXTH TIME, AND THE VEHICLE WILL START AND RUN NORMALLY. IT MAY BE FINE FOR A DAY OR TWO, THEN HAVE PROBLEMS AGAIN EVEN SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY. SHIFTING INTO REVERSE OR NEUTRAL, THEN BACK INTO PARK SEEMS TO HELP, BUT ONLY THAT TIME. AFTER INITIAL PROBLEM TEN MONTHS AGO, CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR TESTING. IT WAS FOUND THE PRIOR OWNER HAD REPLACED THE STARTER (SO WAS RELATIVELY NEW AND MAY BE PROOF PRIOR OWN EXPERIENCED SAME ISSUE), BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED. EVERYTHING TESTED NORMALLY AND ISSUE COULD NOT BE RECREATED AT DEALERSHIP. TWO WEEKS AGO, THE ISSUE BEGAN AGAIN, HAPPENING QUITE FREQUENTLY. IT IS WINTER SEASON AGAIN, WHICH IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION TO NOT HAVE YOUR VEHICLE START, AND IT HAS CAUSED OWNER TO BE LATE FOR WORK AND BE TEMPORARILY STRANDED. WE HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE TO BE RELATED TO A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (NO. 15-AT-001) STATING A RANGE SENSOR SWITCH MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. VEHICLE WILL BE BROUGHT IN AGAIN TO DEALER, HOPING THIS ISSUE CAN BE RECREATED, OR THEY WILL NOT REPAIR. IN FACT, AT THE FIRST VISIT THEY ACTED AS IF THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. WE HAVE RECORDS FROM FIRST VISIT AND WILL THE NEXT FOR OUR RECORDS. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES IN THIS SERVICE BULLETIN.

I HAVE RECEIVE A LEGAL NOTICE FOR OWNERS OF VEHICLES WITH TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS. MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS INDICATE THE EITHER ONE OR BOTH OF MY AIRBAGS ARE NOT WORKING. I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I NEED TO DO NEXT TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

MY STEERING WHEEL MAKES A CLOCKING NOISE THAT TO ME FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE AND I WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME LOOSE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NO LONGER WORK WHICH WOULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ITS NOT COVERED FOR REPAIR NOR IS IT A RECALL WHICH IT SHOULD BE. IDK WHAT TO DO

WHILE DRIVING CITY OR HIGHWAY THERE IS A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND AND AS YOU ACCELERATE IT GETS FASTER AND LOUDER. MY CAR HAS BEEN AT HYUNDAI IN VALLEY STREAM, NY FOR 4 DAYS WITH NO CONCLUSION.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE CAR WHEN MOVING AT A SLOW SPEED, LIKE TAKE OFF AT A SIGNAL LIGHT, THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN. WHILE IN MOTION THE CAR WILL MAKE LOUD NOISE WHEN TAKING OFF SLOW. THE SIR BAG LIGHT IS ON BUT DEALER STATES NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A MONTH. NO ONE CAN SEEM TO TELL ME WHAT IS THE PROBLEM IS OR HOW TO REPAIR IT. I CHECKED GOOGLE FOR THE PROBLEM AND MANY HYUNDAI ELANTRA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I FEEL LIKE I WAS RIPPED OFF AND HYUNDAI ISN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. PLEASE HELP

TAKATA RECALL AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON AND IT SOUNDS LIKE ALLOT OF PEOPLE HAVING SAME PROBLEM. WE LITERALLY TURNED THE CAR ON AND IT LIT UP AND HASN'T SHUT OFF. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHENEVER STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED.

OUR CAR HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY NOT STARTING AND RATTLING. WE IT TOOK TO A HYUNDAI DEALER THREE TIMES IN 9 MONTHS AND PAID OVER $600 BUT EACH TIME THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. FINALLY THE MECHANIC DRAINED THE OIL AND TOOK A MAGNET TO IT. METAL FRAGMENTS WERE PULLED OUT. THE MECHANIC SAID THE CAR NEEDED A NEW ENGINE AS THE RESULT OF A MANUFACTURER DEFECT-SAME AS THE SONATAS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. WE CALLED HYUNDAI TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID SINCE THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY THERE IS NOTHING THEY ARE ABLE TO DO.
