2013 Hyundai Elantra complaints

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
