2013 Hyundai Elantra complaints

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON THEN WENT OFF BUT NOW BACK ON. I CALLED THE DEALER (DENNIS HYUNDAI) TODAY (4/24/19)TO ASK ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE AIRBAG I WOULD ON THE NEW, IESHA THE LADY I TALKED TO SAID THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON MY CAR? WHY NOT IF THE LIGHT IS ON THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DESTROY. WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO?

AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON RANDOMLY. NOW IT STAYS ON.

I HAVE A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA COUPE WHICH IS EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE MDPS FLEXIBLE COUPLING. THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS CURRENTLY COVERED UNDER THE RECALL FOR HYUNDAI ELANTRA AND SONATA BUT NOT THE ELANTRA COUPE 2 DOOR MODEL WHICH I HAVE. THE ELANTRA COUPE MODEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

MY 2013 ELANTRA IS HAVING TROUBLE STARTING, IT TAKES SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE CAR TO START, ALL I GET IS A CLICKING NOISE, A MECHANIC HAD ME PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND IT STARTED, THIS WEEK, I SPENT 10 MINUTES PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, NEUTRAL, AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL FOR IT TO START, IT WAS TOWED A COUPLE YEARS BACK AND THE DEALER COULD NOT "REPLICATE" THE ISSUE. ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I HEARD A TICKING SOUND IN MY ENGINE, SEVERAL PEOPLE AND TWO MECHANICS HAVE LISTENED TO IT AND ARE SAYING IT IS EITHER THE VALVES OR LIFTERS. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT THIS MONTH, SO WILL UPDATE WITH MY FINDINGS.

MY 2013 ELANTRA HAS IN THE PAST EXPERIENCED LABORED ENGINE ISSUES, AND SHUTTING DOWN WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. AT MY APPOINTMENT THIS MONTH, I WILL ADVISE THE DEALERSHIP OF THE ISSUE, AS IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS WEEK. I STILL AM UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE DRIVE TRAIN 100,000K MILES, I AM HOPING THIS APPOINTMENT, THE DEALERSHIP WILL LOCATE THE ISSUE AND FIX THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL MADE AN ABNORMAL CLICKING AND RUBBING NOISE, WHICH WAS A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW RUBBER COUPLING FOR THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE MORE THAN TWICE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE NHTSA HOTLINE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS LESS THAN 62,000. *TT *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING A LOT WITH HYUNDAI MODELS AND SAID IT WAS LIKELY DUE TO A "CLOCK SPRING" AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $100 JUST TO EVALUATE, AND THEN POSSIBLY ANOTHER $350 TO FIX. THE GUY I TALKED TO SAID THAT MY AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY UNTIL IT WAS FIXED. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT APPEARS TO BE FAIRLY COMMON.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON STAYS ON AND HAVE SEWN THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH MANY ELENTRAS AND NO RECALL. I E SEEN THIS TO BE AN ISSUE FOR YRS. I HAVE MADE MANY CALLS TO HYUNDAI AND I KEEP GETTING TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP YOUR OUT OF YOUR 60000 MILE WARRANTY AND PAY WHAT EVER FEE IT IS.

ENGINE MAKING TICKING & KNOCKING SOUNDS.

VEH SHUTS OFF WHEN DROPS BELOW 1-0 RPMS, USUALLY WHEN MAKING TURNS OR SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A STOP. ON FEW OCCASIONS IT TURNED OFF WHILE JUST DRIVING DOWN STREET. NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN . IT'S JUST LIKE SOMEONE TURNS THE KEY OFF, NOT A STALL . THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERY DAY SINCE AT LEAST DEC OF 2018..IT IS NOW MAR 2019. IT IS HAPPENING MORE & MORE FREQUENTLY.

MY ENGINE STARTED MAKING TICKING NOISES AROUND 75000, TOOK CAR IN FOR 75000 MILE MAINTENANCE AND ASKED SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO CHECK FOR NOISE AND CAR ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. TECH LATER TOLD ME ITS NORMAL AND NOTHING THEY CAN FIND WRONG WITH CAR. NOW I SEE FROM LOOKING ON THE INTERNET ITS A COMMON PROBLEM BUT NOW MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I ALSO WENT IN BEFORE MY WARRANTY ENDED TO HAVE THE 100000 MILE MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, THEY STILL SAID IT NORMAL. TODAY I JUST CONTACT MY LOCAL HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO SEE WHAT OPTIONS I HAVE.

THERE IS ALREADY AN ELANTRA & SONATA STEERING COUPLING RECALL EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUED BUT MY CAR ISN'T UNDER WARRANTY?

WHILE ENGAGING IN NIRMAL DRIVE, ENGINE (APP.75K MILES) STARTING KNOCKING. FIRESTONE REFUSED TO WORK ON DEFECTIVE ENGINE AND STATED THAT OIL WAS DIRTY EVEN THOUGH RECENTLY CHANGED SHORTLY AFTER REGULAR 3K OIL CHANGE.

MY ENGINE RECENTLY DEVELOPED A LOUD TICKING NOISE AT 78,000 MILES. I TOOK IT INTO MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE AND ADVICE ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE THE ENGINE COULD SEIZE UP. THE NOISE LASTED NO LONGER THAN A WEEK BEFORE I TOOK IT IN. THE CAR WAS ALSO REGULARLY SERVICED AND I HAVE RECEIPTS. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND METAL DEBRIS IN THE OIL PAN BUT COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE EXACT ISSUE WITHOUT COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLING THE ENGINE. WHEN LOOKING ONLINE, THIS PROBLEM POPS UP HUNDREDS OF TIMES FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR BUT HYUNDAI HAS NEVER ISSUED A RECALL.

ENGINE STALLED ON ME. EVERY TIME I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL IT JERKS. SOMETIMES WHEN I START THE CAR IT WON'T START. ALSO IF IT TAKES A WHILE TO START IT WILL STALL THE WHOLE TIME WHILE DRIVING. I CAN PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT IT WILL DRIVE LIKE 1 MILE PER MINUTE. I CAN HEAR THE ENGINE ROARING, BUT IT JUST WON'T MOVE. I TOOK IT IN TO HYUNDAI THEY FIXED IT, BUT NOW MY CAR IS STARTING IT AGAIN. I RECENTLY GOT ON THE FREEWAY AND RIGHT WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDDLE IT JERKED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NOW IT'S STARTING TO DO THE SAME THING TAKING A WHILE TO START, AND STALLING OUT OF NOWHERE. I CAN ALSO HEAR ALMOST LIKE A KNOCK AND THE GEARS SHIFTING WHEN I'M DRIVING, WHEN I STOP AND GO I CAN HEAR EVERYTHING. I'M AFRAID TO GO ANYWHERE FAR IN MY CAR BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. I THINK THIS ENGINE NEED TO BE ASSESSED BECAUSE THIS IS NOT NORMAL AT ALL.

ON FEBRUARY 23, 2019 I WAS A PASSENGER IN 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA LIMITED, WHEN SUDDENLY THE GLOVE BOX OPENED AND FELL IN MY LAP. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND WE WERE ON HIGHWAY. I WAS TRYING TO CLOSE IT BACK, BUT THE LATCHES ON THE SIDES OF THE GLOVE BOX WERE NOT LATCHING. IN CASE OF COLLUSION IT MAY BE VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. BESIDES, NOBODY WANTS TO HAVE A GLOVE BOX IN YOUR LAPS. *TR

STARTED HEARING A TICKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE ONCE IT TURNED COLD. WOULD HEAR THE NOISE WHEN I STARTED UP THE CAR FROM A STATIONARY POSITION AND NOISE WOULD ACCELERATE AS I PRESSED ON THE GAS AND DECREASE AS I SLOWED DOWN. TOOK TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE METAL SHAVINGS PROBABLY FROM THE ROD BEARINGS IN THE ENGINE. TOLD I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE AND PROVIDED A COST OF $8,000.

MY 2013 ELANTRA SEDAN BUILT IN ALABAMA ON JUNE 14, 2013, AND EQUIPPED WITH A 1.8L ENGINE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT CUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF A CANYON, IN TRAFFIC. THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. THE CARS STEERING LOCKED UP AND COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR MORE THAN TO VEER IT OFF THE ROAD WITH THE FORWARD MOMENTUM FROM COMING DOWN A HILL. I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE OIL LEVEL BEING TOO LOW. I HAD JUST HAD IT REPLACED AND CHECKED ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE. THEN I WAS TOLD IT WAS A CONNECTING ROD THAT HAD BROKEN. I'VE LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP AT THE MOMENT BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND WILL NOT PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A REPAIR THAT WOULD BE COVERED IN CANADA.

CLICKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE. DELAWR SAID ENGINE NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO METAL SHAVINGS IN THE ENGINE.

2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT: NO CONTROL OF THE CAR WHEN YOU HIT BUMPS OR CRACKS IN THE ROAD VERY HARD TO KEEP IN THE LANE YOUR DRIVING IN THIS IS AT ALL SPEEDS ON ANY CITY ROAD OR HIGHWAY TEN TIMES WORSE ON SNOW AND WIND. THE CAR ONLY WORKS PROPER ON A BRAND NEW ROAD WITHOUT WIND, SNOW, ICE, RAIN, CRACKS, OR BUMPS AND SHOULD ONLY BE SOLD AS A RACE CAR NOT A PUBLIC STREET DRIVING CAR! I AM SCARED FOR MY LIFE EVERY TIME I HAVE TO DRIVE THIS CAR! I HAVE ALMOST LOST CONTROL THOUSANDS OF TIMES! HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE HAVE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS CAR!

TAKATA RECALL WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL I REALIZED THAT THE EPS CONTROL MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A LOUND NOISE WHEN TURNING.

WHILE DRIVING ON BELTWAY DOING 55 MPH THE VEHICLE WON'T ACCELERATE AND ALSO MAKES SOUNDS WHEN PUSHING ON GAS THE RPM WILL BE MOVING BACK AND FRONT EVEN WHEN CAR NOT MOVING. CAR SMELLS LIKE SOMETHING IS BURNING. THE CAR WILL START TO SLOW DOWN AND SHUT IT SELF OFF.ALL LIGHTS WILL TURN ON THEN I SHUT CAR OFF COMPLETELY THEN TURN BACK ON AND IT STARTS UP LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT HAD SUDDEN SURGE OF ACCELERATION CONTINUE WHILE IN NEUTRAL AND PARK. REQUIRING TO TURN OFF ENGINE. EXCESSIVE RPM CAUSED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TO MALFUNCTION. CAUSING LACK OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE.

WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 2017 FROM DEALERSHIP. ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASE AND LESS THAN 1000 MILES AFTER PURCHASE, AND LESS THAN 64000 MILES TOTAL, THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO OIL ISSUES WITH THE CYLINDERS. ADEQUATE OIL WAS IN CAR AND DEALER INSISTED THAT ALL CHECKS HAD BEEN PERFORMED PRIOR TO SALE. I HAVE RECENTLY READ ABOUT RECALLS FOR OTHER KIA AND HYUNDAI VEHICLES DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE PROBLEMS FOR THE SAME REASON. I AM REPORTING THIS ISSUE IN HOPE THAT THIS AGENCY WILL CONSIDER INVESTIGATING TO SEE IF THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO HYUNDAI ELANTRAS. THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE REPEATING AMONG OTHER VEHICLES MADE BY HYANDAI IN THE SAME TIME FRAME MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED. I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE REPAIR THAT WAS PERFORMED BECAUSE NOW THERE ARE ADDITIONAL RECALLS BY HYUNDAI AND KIA FOR THE ENGINE REPAIRS THAT WERE PERFORMED ON THE OTHER RECALLED MODELS. THE DEALERSHIP AND HYUNDAI DID COVER MOST OF COST OF ENGINE REPLACEMENT BUT I WANT TO BE SURE THE REPAIR WAS SAFELY DONE. THERE ARE REPORTS OF ENGINE FIRES RELATED TO HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PIPES AND FUEL LEAKS.

VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL MAKES NOISE AND JERKS WHEN TURNING, EITHER AT A STAND STILL OR DRIVING. I AM IN FEAR OF MY LIFE. HYUNDAI RESPONDED VIA EMAIL AND BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. THEIR EMAIL DATED 1/9/19 INDICATES MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT "CAMPAIGN TXX7," AND THAT "WEAR OF THE COUPLING DOES NOT AFFECT THE ABILITY TO STEER OR CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE." MY MOTHER IN LAW ALSO HAS A 2013 ELANTRA WHERE THE PART AND LABOR WERE COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE ISSUE IS WIDELY EFFECTING VEHICLES BASED ON A GOOGLE SEARCH. THEY WANT $125 TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE AND I ADVISED THEM THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE A ROBO CALL TO POTENTIAL VICTIMS INFORMING OF THEM OF THIS WELL KNOWN ISSUE. THAT PROCESS WOULD HAVE COST THEM NOTHING. MY MOTHER IN LAW SPENT ABOUT $1,000 IN REPAIRS TO FIX THE ISSUE BEFORE MY CAR, SHORTLY THEREAFTER, HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND I GOOGLED IT LEARNING HOW PREVALENT IT IS. HER MECHANIC CALLED HYUNDAI WHO ACTED LIKE THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS BROUGHT UP TO THEM. SHE WAS FEARFUL TO DRIVE HER VEHICLE AND BORROWED A CAR TO GO TO WORK WHILE SHE HAD THE WORN COUPLING ISSUE. HYUNDIA IS PUTTING PEOPLES' LIVES AT RISK DOWNPLAYING, NOT INFORMING, AND REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEPTH OF THE PROBLEM. BOTH MY MOTHER IN LAWS CAR (NOW FIXED) AND NOW MINE, ARE DIFFICULT TO STEER WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED.

TAKATA RECALL THE DROVERS SIDE SEAT BELT POPS OUT. IT WILL BE IN, LOCKED AND AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL JUST RELEASE. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE.

SECURITY SYSTEM GOES OFF WHEN THE CAR IS LOCKED EVERY COUPLE HOURS NO ONE AROUND THE CAR. IF THE CAR IS LEFT UNLOCKED IT DOESN'T HAPPEN

'TAKATA RECALL' WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED IF I HIT A SLIGHT BUMP OR IRREGULARITY IN THE ROAD REAR END OF CAR JUMPS AROUND. ON WET OR SLICK ROADS IT IS EVEN WORSE. FROM THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE. I NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH STABILITY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS UNSURE AS TO WHAT WAS CAUSING THE CAR TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS JUMPING AFTER HITTING SMALL BUMPS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I UNDERSTAND NOW THAT IT IS THE SUSPENSION THAT IS CAUSING THIS INSTABILITY. THE BUMPS I HIT ON THE HIGHWAY ARE NOT MAJOR BUMPS, THESE ARE JUST THE SMALL ONES THAT TRANSITION FROM SECTION TO SECTION OF THE HIGHWAY SO I KNOW IT ISN'T THE ROAD I DRIVE ON, IT IS THE CAR. ALSO WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, ANYWHERE FROM 45-65MPH THE DRIVING STABILITY FEELS UNSAFE AND THE VEHICLE WAVERS BACK AND FORTH ON THE HIGHWAY, HAVING TO ALWAYS CORRECT IT. WHEN IT IS WINDY IT IS EXTREMELY WORSE. I CANNOT BELIEVE HYUNDAI MADE A CAR THIS UNSAFE. DRIVING THIS WINTER I HAVE ONLY HOPED THAT THE JUMPING AND WAVERING DOESN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE TO FEEL THAT WAY IN A VEHICLE. THE COMPANY SHOULD BE MADE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE ISSUES. THIS HAPPENS SO OFTEN AT LEAST OVER 20 TIMES IN JUST THIS YEAR I'M AFRAID FOR MY LIFE AND SO ARE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE

'TAKATA RECALL' I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH AND LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. TO REGAIN CONTROL I HIT MY BRAKES AND CONTINUE MY JOURNEY TO WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND NOW I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR SO I CARPOOL WITH A FRIEND TO WORK WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. I DON'T FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE MY OWN CAR

I TRIED TO START MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA LIMITED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT DEPRESS AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START BUT MADE AN ELECTRONIC CLICKING NOISE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW BUT BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. IT HAS STRANDED ME AMD MY INFANT CHILDREN TWICE THIS PAST YEAR AND MYSELF TWICE. THE DEALER HAS MADE SUGGESTIONS BUT NONE WORK. LOOKED ONLINE AND HUNDREDS OF OTHER OWNERS OF ALL MODELS HAVING STARTING ISSUES. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHYISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED BUT I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TRADE MY CAR IN FOR NEW ONE AS I NEED RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION FOR MY CHILDREN. ALL INSTANCES OCCURRED AFTER VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN, PARKED AND STARTING ATTEMPTS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. IT MAY HAVE NOT RECIEVED MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS PAGE, HOWEVER, ONLINE BLOGS ARE FULL OF SAME ISSUE WITH AN LARGE AMOUNT OF HYUNDAI OWNERS.

FREE PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL BETWEEN 11 AND 1. VERY DANGEROUS ON SKINNY FREEWAY LANES...VEHICLE ALMOST DRIFTED INTO BARRIER WALL ON GROOVED PAVEMENT IN CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITHOUT ABILITY TO SAFELY CORRECT AND MAINTAIN LANE. IN RESEARCHING, APPEARS AS RECALL ON OTHER MODELS, BUT NOT ON THIS MODEL. SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE ON 12/17/18 AT DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE $2.00 FAULTY PART. NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THE LABOR BILL TO REPAIR VEHICLE TO SAFELY MANEUVER THE DAILY FREEWAY TRAVELING CONDITION. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY COST LIVES AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH THE MANUFACTURER.

THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN STATIONARY. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SAW IT IS A COMMON COMPLAINT ON HYUNDAI CARS. WE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND WERE ADVISED IT WAS THE COUPLING. HYUNDAI RECALLED THE SONATA AND REPLACED THE COUPLING BUT DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL ON THE ELANTRA. THE COST TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE PART $350.00

MY BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK, I'VE HAD THEM REPLACED 3 TIMES. MY RPMS DO NOT WORK WHEN I PUSH THE GAS, THE VEHICLE WON'T GO MORE THAN 20 MPH, WHEN CHANGING MY GEARS, IT DOESN'T WORK, AND WHEN I AM AT A STOP LIGHT OR JUST SITTING IN A PARKING LOT WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING IT TURNS OFF ON IT'S OWN. WHEN I TRY TO START THE VEHICLE IT WON'T TURN MOST THE TIME.
