2013 Hyundai Elantra complaints

MY STEERING WHEEL HAS STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE AND STICKS QUITE OFTEN NOW. IT FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BREAK OFF IF I TURN IT TOO MUCH TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT. SOMETIMES IT MAKES DRIVING VERY DIFFICULT. IT DOES THIS IN A STOPPED POSITION WHEN YOU START TURNING THE WHEEL TO TURN AND WHILE IN MOTION.

AIR BAG LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING, SINCE 8/17/2019. NOW IT IS ON ALL OF THE TIME. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY RECENT ACCIDENTS, OR RECEIVED ANY DAMAGE. RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS PROBABLY A CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. $79 DEALER FEE JUST TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE, BEFORE PARTS AND LABOR TO REPAIR. SEEMS TO BE PRETTY COMMON FOR HYUNDAI VEHICLES OF THIS AGE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL!

STEERING WHEEL RATTLES AND MAKES NOISES WHEN TURNING. FEELS LIKE THERE IS TO MUCH PLAY IN STEERING. WORRIED ABOUT HAVING ISSUES OF SAFETY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THESE PARTICULAR VEHICLES. WHEN SWERVING TO AVOID ANIMAL FELT LIKE I HAD NO CONTROL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ENTERING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AT 3 MPH, THE VEHICLE UNINTENDEDLY ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT THEN CRASHED INTO FOUR PARKED VEHICLES AND A FEW PARKING SIGNS. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUFFERED A BROKEN PATELLA ON THEIR RIGHT LEG, THEY HAD A BAD ABRASION ON THEIR LEFT LEG, A HEMATOMA ON THEIR SKULL AND BLACK EYES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THEIR VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE IN THE OTHER VEHICLES THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS CURRENTLY INSPECTING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED HYUNDAI OF ASHVILLE (860 TUNNEL RD, ASHEVILLE, NC 28805 (828) 298-4911) HOWEVER, THE CONTACT'S INSURANCE COMPANY INSTRUCTED THEM TO NOT CALL THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

STEERING COUPLER FAILURE AT 30,000 MILES. STEERING WHEEL STARTED MAKING CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNED FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. CALLED DEALER, THEY STATED NEEDS REPAIRED ASAP, STEERING WHEEL COULD LOCK AND CAUSE ACCIDENT. FOUND THAT THIS WAS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE AND EXTENDED WARRANTIES (TXX7) WERE ISSUED ON SEVERAL MODELS. MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED. COST TO REPAIR WAS $422.26.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR SUDDENLY EXPLODED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

WHILE SITTING IN THE CAR NOT DRIVING A LOT OF PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL.WHILE DRIVING SAME WAS READING FORUMS THAT IT COULD BE A RUBBER RING. IT ALSO MAKES A CLICKING NOISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A RAW FUEL ODOR ENTERED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROUND ROCK HYUNDAI (2405 N INTERSTATE HWY 35, ROUND ROCK, TX 78664, (512) 920-5397) ON NOVEMBER 15, 2016 TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTOMAX FORD (3301 E CENTRAL TEXAS EXPY, KILLEEN, TX 76543, 254-699-2629). THE DEALER RAN A FULL FUEL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 15964028. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,311.

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME IN RAIN THE WIPERS STOPPED AND RESUMED ABOUT 10 SECONDS LATER. AFTER 5 MINUTES THE WIPERS AGAIN STOPPED AND RESUMED ABOUT 10 SECONDS LATER.

THE HOOD LATCH WAS ACCIDENTALLY RELEASED, AND THEN WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE HOOD FLEW OPEN WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING OVER $2000 IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. OVER 600,000 HYUNDAI MODELS INCLUDING 2013 WERE RECALLED IN 2017 FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE: "HYUNDAI SAID A CABLE FOR THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH CAN CORRODE AND BIND, CAUSING THE LATCH TO REMAIN IN THE UNLATCHED POSITION WHEN THE HOOD IS CLOSED. THE HOOD MAY OPEN WHILE DRIVING IF THE HOOD IS NOT SECURELY CLOSED, OR IF THE HOOD IS INADVERTENTLY RELEASED." I WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS COMPLAINT IS LOGGED FOR THE ELANTRA MODEL AS WELL.

SUNROOF FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON TOLLWAY, SUN SHADE CLOSED WHICH PREVENTED SHARDS FROM FALLING INTO CABIN.

AIR BAG DASHBOARD LIGHT AT FIRST WAS FLASHING AND NOW REMAINS ON SOLID EVERY TIME VEHICL IS STARTED. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SIMILAR MODELS FROM 2010 TO NOW. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE HANDLED AS A RECALL INSTEAD OF LEAVING THE CONSUMER TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ANYWHERE AT 35 MPH OR MORE WITH THE SUNROOF TILTED OR OPEN, MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF AIR COME THROUGH DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW TO THE INSIDE OF CAR. THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO HEAR EMERGENCY SIRENS OR YOUR STEREO. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD!!

FRONT PASSENGER IN NOT ABLE TO BUCKLE SEAT BELT. WHEN YOU TRY TO LATCH THE SEAT BELT INTO THE ORANGE/RED CLASP HOLDER, THE SEAT BELT WILL NOT STAY LOCKED INTO PLACE. NOW WE WAIT TO SEE IF OTHER SEAT BELTS BECOME UNLOCKED WHILE DRIVING OR WHILE IN AN ACCIDENT. WE ARE ALSO DOWN TO ONLY HAVING 4 SEATS AVAILABLE IN THE CAR.

AROUND 5PM ON JULY 18TH AFTER STARTING UP MY PARKED CAR WITH NO ISSUES I PULLED OUT OF A PARALLEL PARKING SPOT AND MADE A LEFT TURN THROUGH A GREEN ARROW AT THE LIGHT. I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AND SLOWLY ACCELERATING TO ABOUT 30MPH. I TOOK MY FOOT OF THE GAS A BIT TO COAST. I WENT TO PUT MY FOOT BACK ON THE GAS BUT BEFORE I COULD WITHIN ABOUT 10SEC THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND CAME TO A HALT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. RIGHT AS THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN ALL OF THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS SUCH AS CHECK ENGINE AND ALL THE OTHER ONES ON THE DASHBOARD FLASHED. THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THE HAZARD LIGHTS DID NOT EVEN COME ON. I IMMEDIATELY PRESSED THE BREAK AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. IT STARTED UP IMMEDIATELY AND I KEPT DRIVING. TOOK CAR TO HYUNDAI DEALER WHO FOUND NO ISSUES AFTER RUNNING A DIAGNOSTIC.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN AND WAS ALMOST RUN INTO BY SEVERAL CARS BEHIND AND BESIDE THE CAR. THE CARS ENGINE HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE SEIZED UP EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO WARNING OF EITHER LOW OIL PRESSURE OR HIGH ENGINE TEMP OR ANY ENGINE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR. THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED. THIS COLD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER HAD THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE HAD NOT TAKEN HEROIC MEASURES TO GET THE VEHICLE SAFELY PULLED OVER AND STOPPED. THIS ACTION COULD HAVE CAUSED THE DRIVER AND POSSIBLY THE OTHER VEHICLES BESIDE AND BEHIND SERIOUS INJURIES AND OR POSSIBLY A FATALITY. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE OTHERS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE OVER IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA EQUIPPED WITH HANKOOK TIRES, SIZE: 205/55/R16. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN AIR PRESSURE LEAK IN THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DICK HANNAH VOLKSWAGEN OF PORTLAND (12345 E BURNSIDE ST, PORTLAND, OR 97233) WHERE ALL THE TIRES WERE CHECKED, BUT NO LEAKS WERE FOUND ALTHOUGH WIRES WERE SEEN PROTRUDING FROM THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE. THE CONTACT DECIDED TO HAVE AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES. THEY MECHANIC ALSO NOTICED AN ALIGNMENT FAILURE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE TIRES TO WEAR AGAIN WITH A POSSIBLE BLOWOUT IF LEFT UNCHECKED. THE CONTACT LEFT A MESSAGE WITH THE MANUFACTURER TO CALL HIM BACK. THE CONTACT WILL GIVE THEM A RETURN CALL AFTER SPEAKING WITH NHTSA. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,511. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE, DOT NUMBER, AND TIRE LINE WERE UNKNOWN.

MY VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL 'SHUDDERS' UPON TURNING, WHETHER STATIONARY OR MOVING, ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. I BELIEVE THE EPS TO BE THE PROBLEM AND AM AFRAID THE STEERING WILL SEIZE UP WHILE I AM DRIVING, POTENTIALLY CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD BOTH FOR MYSELF AND FOR OTHERS. THIS HAS OCCURRED EACH TIME THE CAR HAS BEEN IN USE SINCE JULY 10, 2019, WITHOUT EXCEPTION.

"TAKATA RECALL"MY STEERING WHEEL COLUMN RATTLES AND SHAKES WHEN I AM DRIVING. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS GOING TO FALL OFF. THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LOOSE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON TWO YEARS AFTER IT WAS BOUGHT. THE FASTER YOU GO THE WORST IT GETS. IT HAPPENS IN THE CITY AND HIGHWAY.

CLICKING SOUND IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE STEERING COUPLER...A $4.00 PART. THEN THE DEALER SAID THAT THE FIX IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT IT WOULD COST $410.00 TO CHANGE THIS $4.00 PART. THIS FIX IS IN FACT LISTED AS A RECALL ON THE SAME YEAR ELANTRA SEDAN AND THE SONATA MODELS. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHY IS THE REPAIR COVERED ON THOSE VEHICLES MENTIONED ABOVE BUT NOT ON THE ELANTRA GT??? IF IT IS A COVERED REPAIR ON AN ELANTRA SEDAN WHY WOULD IT NOT BE A COVERED REPAIR ON A ELANTRA GT SEDAN?

DRIVING , IN MOTION , ON A CITY STREET, OR HIGHWAY WITHIN A 5 DEGREE TURN, RIGHT OR LEFT FROM CENTER, STEERING WHEEL HAS A CLICKING NOISE LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE. THIS NOISE DOES NOT SEEM TO AFFECT THE STEERING OF SAID VEHICLE BUT IS VERY ANNOYING AND LOUD WHICH MAKES A DISTRACTION WHILE IN MOTION.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. I WAS TOLD IT WILL COST ALMOST $400 TO GET THINGS FIXED. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT'S AFFECTING MY SAFETY TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, A TICKING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND A KNOWN ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A PISTON FLAP. THE MECHANIC DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BUERKLE HYUNDAI (651-484-0231, LOCATED AT 3350 N. HIGHWAY 61, WHITE BEAR LAKE, MN 55110) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED A FIFTY PERCENT DISCOUNT TOWARDS ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

I DROVE MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA TUESDAY EVENING AND PARKED IT AT 9PM. WENT TO START MY CAR TO GO TO WORK AT 730AM AND IT WOULD NOT START. ALL OF THE LIGHTS CAME ON, HEADLIGHTS AND RADIO WORKED THE CAR JUST WOULD NOT START. I TRIED TO START IT 5 MORE TIMES, IT IS PUSH START. I CALLED AND HAD MY CAR TOWED THAT EVENING, THE TOW GUY CAME AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I STILL HAD THE CAR TOWED BECAUSE I HAVE HAD SO MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. IT HAS BEEN AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR 4 DAYS NOW AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. IT HAS STARTED A COUPLE TIMES FOR THE DEALERSHIP BUT NOT CONSISTENTLY. I KEEP CALLING AND ASKING WHAT THE ISSUE IS BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMMENTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL THIS IS NOT FAIR TO US AS HYUNDAI CUSTOMERS. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND PAID FOR BY HYUNDAI.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE RECENTLY HAD MY AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON ON MY CAR. I HAVE WAITED A MONTH OR TWO AND THE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. I HAVE DONE NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY POPULAR MALFUNCTION WITH HYUNDAI SONATAS AND HYUNDAI ELANTRAS FROM THE YEAR OF 2012. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER I ROLLED OVER MY 100,000 MILE WARRANTY SO IT WAS COVERED NO LONGER. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN TO MANY PEOPLE AS THIS IS A VERY POPULAR CAR. I'VE HAD DIAGNOSTICS DONE ON MY CAR AND TOLD IT WAS THE CLOCK SPRING THAT HAS MALFUNCTIONED. REVIEWS ALSO HAVE THE SAME MALFUNCTION.

2015-KEY WON'T RELEASE FROM IGNITION, REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. 2017-SAME ISSUE, CANT REPRODUCE ISSUE, NOT REPLACED BY DEALER. 2018-CAR WON'T START, BATTERY REPLACED. 2019-CAR WON'T START. DASH LIGHTS COME ON, CAR CLICKING BUT WON'T START. JUMPSTARTED CAR. WHILE DRIVING AFTER JUMPSTART THE RADIO INTERMITTENTLY WENT OFF. TOOK IN FOR REPAIR AND ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY WAS REPLACED. NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING, CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF TWICE. 6 DAYS LATER-CAR WON'T START AFTER DRIVING IT 3 MILES, CLICKING AGAIN AND THE ENGINE, OIL, AND CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT ON. HAD TO WALK HOME IN THE DARK IN A HIGH CRIME CITY

2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA, EVERY TIME I STEER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, THERE IS A LOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING. IT MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WHILE TURNING. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF THE VEHICLE BEING TURNED ON OR OFF AND IN ANY GEAR. I CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPT OF THE HYUNDAI DEALER, THEY IMMEDIENTLY KNEW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. HE SAID IT WAS MORE THAN LIKELY A STEERING CUPPLER AND/OR STEERING BUSHING. MY CAR IS A 2013 AND ONLY HAS 59K MILES. THIS IS VERY LITTLE. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND THERE ARE MORE THAN 120 COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS A LONG TIME AGO AS A STEERING PROBLEM IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.

PAINT IS PEELING IN SECTIONS ON BUMPER AND DOOR HANDLES. HAVE SEEN THIS ON OTHER ELANTRAS AND ONLINE

I WAS ON MY WAY BACK FROM CO TO MN. AS I ENTERED LUSK, WY, A STRANGE "CLUNKING" NOISE STARTED TO ARISE FROM THE ENGINE AND SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF WAITED A COUPLE MINUTES AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO DRIVE OR PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. I TOWED THE VEHICLE TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP REPORT STATED THAT THEY WERE "ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AND SHORTLY AFTER THE CRANKSHAFT SEIZED AND THE ENGINE NO LONGER TURNED OVER." THE VEHICLE HAD ONE PREVIOUS OWNER SO THE REPLACEMENT WAS NOT COVERED BY A WARRANTY. I HAD OWNED THE CAR FOR A YEAR AND REPLACED THE OIL EVERY 3,000 MILES. THERE WAS NO POSSIBILTY THAT THE ENGINE FAILURE OCCURED DUE TO NEGLIGENCE ON BEHALF OF CHANGING THE OIL.

WHEN DRIVING OVER 40MPH, CAR FISHTAILS WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. WORSENS IN RAIN. FEELS VERY UNSTEADY AND UNSAFE.

MY SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME SO THERE WAS NO ADDITIONAL DAMAGE. IT LEFT MY SUNROOF SHATTERED WITH A LARGE HOLE IN THE CENTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND DRAINED THE BATTERY. NORTH FREEWAY HYUNDAI (20440 INTERSTATE 45 N, SPRING, TX 77373, (832) 446-4000) DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V574000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BRAKE STOPPER AND SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

THE SRS (AIR BAG) INDICATOR REMAINED LIT AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE AND THE STARTUP ROUTINE OF CHECKING ALL THE SYSTEMS. THAT HAS NEVER STAYED ON UNTIL 6-3-2019, AND NOW IT WON'T GO OFF. I'VE CHECKED THE FUSE TO THE SYSTEM, CHECKED THE SEAT BELT LATCHES, AND THE CONNECTORS. LIGHT STILL REMAINS LIT WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.

I OWN A WHITE 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA AND THE PAINT IS PEELING BACK EVEN THOUGH THERE HAS BEEN NO DAMAGE TO THE AREA. AFTER RETURNING FROM A 120 MILES EXPRESSWAY TRIP THE PAINT IS PEELING AWAY.

2ND OWNER, REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON CAR, NO PRIOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT INDICATING A POSSIBLE ISSUE. CAR JUST OVER 100K MILES, STOPPED COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. HOLE FOUND IN ENGINE BLOCK MOTOR, APPEARS TO HAVE THREW A ROD. ENGINE DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR. WHEN TAKEN TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, WAS NOT GIVEN A FORMAL DIAGNOSIS OF DAMAGE DESPITE ASKING FOR CAUSE OF ENGINE FAILURE. SIMPLY TOLD NEW ENGINE NEEDED RANGING ANYWHERE FROM 4-10K. HYUNDAI DECLINED TO REPLACE ENGINE. HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT SANTA FE'S AND SONATAS WITHIN THE SAME YEAR RANGE HAVE BEEN ISSUED ENGINE RECALLS. BEGINNING TO THINK ISSUES ARE RELATED IN READING OTHER REVIEWS ON ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH 2013 ELANTRA'S. WONDERING WHEN THIS PROBLEM WILL BE RECOGNIZED AS A POTENTIAL RECALL.

SEAT BELT WARNING LITHT IS ONE IN RED ALL THE TIME, IS RELATED TO AIR BAG

2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE FAILURE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED HE PURCHASED A VEHICLE AND A COUPLE WEEKS LATER WAS INFORMED IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. *JS

TAKATA RECALL THE ENGINE SURGING, KNOCKING, RPM WAS GOING UP, AND DOWN, THEN WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO TAKE OFF FROM THE LIGHT LIKE A JET IN WHICH ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO CAR WRECKS, IT WOULD GO BELOW 40MPH, WHILE RPM WOULD BE UP AT 5 WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY THEN NOT GO FORWARD. THE CAR SHAKES SO BAD DUE TO THE SURGING OF THE TRANSMISSION

AS WITH MANY OTHERS, MY 2013 ELANTRA LIKES TO KICK THE BACK END OUT OVER BUMPS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I PASSED AN ACCIDENT LAST WEEKEND ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE A 2013 ELANTRA HAD CRASHED INTO THE CEMENT BARRIER JUST AFTER A BRIDGE ON WET ROADS. MY CAR JUMPED OVER THE SAME BUMP ALTHOUGH I WAS AT A LOWER SPEED BECAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT AND IT WASN'T AS SEVERE AS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IF I WAS GOING FASTER. IT IS MUCH WORSE AS THE CAR GETS OLDER. IT ALSO HAS OTHER ISSUES THAT OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT SUCH AS NOT WANTING TO START (3 TIMES) AND WHITE SMOKE IF YOU ACCELERATE TOO QUICKLY. DEALER HAS BEEN NO HELP.

TAKATA RECALLS. MY RADIO BLUETOOTH DOESN'T WORK NOR DOES THE USB. I'M CONSTANTLY HAVING TO CHANGE REAR LIGHTBULBS. WHEN MY CAR REACHES A CERTAIN SPEED IT STARTS TO SHAKE. MY TIRE SENSOR PUT A HOLE IN MY TIRE. MY SEAT BELTS WILL NOT CONNECT. I'M JUST HAD TO CHANGE THE ALTERNATOR. AND THE ENGINE MAKES A TICKING SOUND.

HOLE DETECTED IN ENGINE OF 6YR OLD VEHICLE AFTER ABRUPTLY STOPPING IN MIDDLE OF ROAD

THE VEHICLE HAS A STRANGE SOUND WHEN STARTED UP IN THE MORNINGS. ALMOST LIKE A TICKING OR SMALL KNOCKING SOUND. WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK UP IT STARTS TO JERK LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO SHUT OFF. ALSO THAT SAME JERKING OCCURS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN MY CAR IS AT THE SPEED 35 IT STARTS TO JERK LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO SHUT OFF TOO. IT HAPPENS ALL DAY LONG BETWEEN THE SPEEDS 35 TO 65. WHEN I TURN ON THE AC MY CAR MAKES A WEIRD SQUEAKING NOSE AND ALSO JERKS LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO GIVE OUT AGAIN. I HAVE HAD ALL MY FLUIDS CHECK AND EVERYTHING IS JUST FINE. I DONT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR. IT STARTED HAPPENING THE SAME DAY I GOT MY VEHICLE FROM A SMALL USED CAR LOT ON MARCH 4TH 2019. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE DAY I HAVE LEFT. I CALLED THE GUY WHO SOLD MY THE CAR AND HE TOLD ME T WAS PROBABLY THE GAS BEING BAD SINCE THE CAR SIT SO LONG ON THE LOT. BUT IT HAS NEVER STOPPED.

TICKING NOISE FROM ENGINE 82000 MILES ON IT. DEALER SAID AROUND $8000.00 TO REPLACE ENGINE. DEALER SAID EVEN IF I SHOWED I'VE TAKEN CARE OF IT HYUNDAI STILL WONT REPLACE THE FAULTY ENGINE. RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ENGINE PROBLEM IN CANADA WHY NOT HERE IN THE US? SO FRUSTRATING BEING A SINGLE PARENT TRYING TO MAKE ENDS MEET AND NOW HAVING TO DECIDE WHICH IS BETTER TAKE ANOTHER LOAN OUT FOR NEW ENGINE OF AN UPSIDE DOWN LOAN FOR A DIFFERENT CAR. I OWE 7000.00 ON THIS ELANTRA ALREADY AND HAVE HAD IT FOR ONLY A YEAR. TAKEN GOOD CARE OF IT WITH OIL CHANGES EVERY 3000 MILES.SADLY I'M THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS CAR SO NO WARRANTY TO HELP.HEARTBREAKING WHEN I THOUGHT HYUNDAI WAS A GOOD SOLID CAR TO PURCHASE. NOW I'M IN FEAR WHILE DRIVING IF ITS GOING TO DIE ON ME WHILE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT MY BEST FINANCIAL OPTIONS.

WENT AND GOT AN OIL CHANGE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I NOTICED A TICKING/KNOCK IN NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHILE GOING UP SMALL HILLS OR WHILE IDOLING. I HAVE ROUGHLY ABOUT 124,000 MILES

I'M HAVING SERIOUS ENGINE PROBLEMS AT ONLY 44K MILES INCLUDING FAILED IGNITION COILS & SPARKPLUGS-NOW ENGINE STILL MISFIRING & COILS GOING BAD ONE AT A TIME. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER & CANNOT AFFORD ENGINE REPAIRS ESPECIALLY WITH THIS LOW OF MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE & AFTER JUST PURCHASING IT USED FROM CARMAX IN AMHERST, NY AT END OF JANUARY, 2019. I WAS TOLD BY THE REPAIR SHOP THAT THE IGNITION COILS ARE DEFECTIVE. THANK YOU.

ENGINE TICKING NOISE. DEALER SAID METAL SHAVINGS IN ENGINE AND PISTONS KNOCKING. THEY SAID NEED NEW ENGINE. HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND SERVICE.

IN MARCH 2019 TAKEN IN FOR STATE INSPECTION. DURING THE INSPECTION, NOTIFIED THAT THE DOG BONE MOUNT AND LOWER OIL PAN LEAK BY SERVICE ADVISOR AT DEALERSHIP. . THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED LAST AUGUST AND A LEAK IN THE PAN OCCURRED. IT WAS COVERED BY 10 YEAR WARRANTY. PARTS NOT AVAILABLE SO AN ORDER WAS DONE. TOLD THIS NEED TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE ANY OTHER DAMAGE OCCUR. A LEAK IN THE OIL PAN LESS THAN A YEAR AT 69,344 MILES.

STEERING PROBLEM: WHEN DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL CATCHES NEAR THE CENTER POSITION, TAKING SOME ADDITIONAL FORCE TO MOVE IT. IT IS RELATIVELY EASY TO OVER COME, BUT IT FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS GETTING WORSE. MY HYUNDAI DEALER HAS NOT RESPONDED TO MY INQUIRIES. THE POTENTIAL FOR A STEERING LOCKUP MAY EXIST, THUS THIS ALERT.

THE ELECTRICAL VOLUME AND CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WENT OUT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WON'T GO OFF

ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA BECAME SLUGGISH IN ACCELERATING. IT HAS GRADUALLY GOTTEN WORSE. I TRIED FUEL CLEANERS, PREMIUM GAS, AND NOW A TUNE UP REPLACING COIL PACKS AND PLUGS. THE VEHICLE CRAWLS AND DOES NOT ACCELERTE AS QUICK AS IT SHOULD. IT CUTS OFF OR REFUSES TO MOVE WHEN GIVEN GAS AT ALL STOPS. I SWITCH OFF THEN ON AT RED LIGHTS AS IT SEEMS TO WANT TO TAKE OFF WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED. WHEN I REACH ABOUT 50MPH THE RPM HAND GUNS AND THE BOTTOMS OUT TO STAY AT ZERO WITH NO CHANGE IN ACCELERATION. THERE IS NOW A WHIRRING NOISE SPORADICALLY COMING FROM THE ENGINE. AFTER THE TI E UP THE ISSUES CONTINUE WITH CUTTING OFF ,ROUGH IDLING, EXTREMELY SLOW SNAIL ACCELLERATION WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON.
