2013 Hyundai Elantra complaints

I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY AT ABOUT 5 MPH WHEN MY ESC INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. BOTH OF MY FRONT BRAKES IMMEDIATELY LOCKED UP. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF THINKING THAT WOULD RESET THE SYSTEM. WHEN I STARTED IT BACK UP THE INDICATOR LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND THE BRAKES WERE STILL LOCKED UP. I THEN TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK OFF AND UNPLUGGED MY BATTERY HOPING THAT WOULD DO IT. STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES OF SITTING THERE THE BRAKES FINALLY RELEASED AND I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO MY HOUSE. THE LIGHT WAS AND STILL IS ON BUT THE BRAKES ARENT LOCKED UP AT THIS TIME. IM JUST AFRAID OF IT HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE AT FASTER SPEEDS. IT WOULD MOST CERTAINLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AT THE VERY LEAST. I HAVE 4 KIDS AND A WIFE AND MY WIFE IS USUALLY THE ONE WHO DRIVES THE CAR. IM JUST THANKFUL IT DIDNT HAPPEN UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES OR IT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC.

THE CAR IS NOT COVERED ON THE CAMPAIGN #146 EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE'S MAKE, MODEL & YEAR WERE CORRESPONDING TO THE RECALL. THEY NEED TO WIDEN THE VIN NUMBERS EFFECTED AS MY VEHICLE WAS EFFECTED BY THIS SAME ISSUE. THE BREAK STOPPER BROKE INTO MANY PIECES ALL OVER MY FLOORBOARDS AND MY BREAK LIGHT WAS CONTINUOUSLY ON. IT THEN KILLED MY CAR BATTERY BY USING THE BATTERY TO POWER THE BREAK LIGHTS WITH THE CAR OFF AND KEYS OUT THE CAR. IT WONT SHOW IF YOU ARE PRESSING THE BREAKS AND IT MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS DRIVERS BEHIND YOU WILL NOT KNOW IF YOU ARE HITTING THE BREAKS. PLEASE ADVISE THEM TO BROADEN THE RECALL #146 AS THIS AFFECTS MANY DRIVERS.

BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH STAYS ON DRAINS BATTERY. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA FOR THIS ISSUE. BUT MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT SHOW RECALL THIS IS MY VIN [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CAR STUTTERS, RPMS DROP, AND CAR STALLS WHEN IT COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP AT STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING IN ALL CONDITIONS-- HOT/COLD, MORNING/EVENING, ETC. FOLLOWING THIS, CAR WILL BE DIFFICULT TO RESTART AND SLOW TO ACCELERATE; THEN RPMS RAISE TO 5 AND CAR GOES INTO GEAR. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE APRIL 2017 AND HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES. (4TH TIME TOMORROW)

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ON MY DASHBOARD A FEW DAYS AGO AND HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE. I HAVE READ ON SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS HOW SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND HOW THIS MEANS THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY DURING A COLLISION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIPS SHOULD BE CHARGING OVER $250 TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT. I HAVE NOT YET BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL THEN FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE ACTION. THANK YOU.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY HUSBAND, DAUGHTER, AND I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT WITH A DRIVER OF A MINI VAN WHO BLEW A STOP SIGN ON A CITY STREET. THE DRIVER OF THE VAN WAS TICKETED. THE VAN'S AIRBAGS WENT OFF AS THE PHOTO SHOWS. OUR 2013 ELANTRA AIR BAGS DID NOT AS THE PHOTOS SHOW. I WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. ALL OF US HAD SEATBEALTS ON BUT I SUFFERED BLUNT CHEST TRAUMA AND A CONCUSSION. THE VEHICLE AIRBAG BOOK SAYS THEIR IS A SENSOR IN THE FRONT CENTER OF THE CAR THAT DETECTS 30 DEGREES EITHER WAY. LOOK AT THE PHOTOS - FAILED TO DETECT AND DEPLOY IN OUR CASE.

TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT IS SLIPPING. DIFFICULT SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE. THE CAR JERKS AND LURCHED WHEN IN GEAR AND DRIVING WHETHER SPEEDING UP OR D LOSING DOWN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD NOT TURNED ON INDICATING A PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP RECALIBRATED THE TRANSMISSION LAST WEEK AND THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE SHOP WITHIN 24 HOURS WITH THE SAME ISSUE MAGNIFIED. THE DEALERSHIP NOW SAYS THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. WHEN THE ISSUE FIRST PRESENTED I WAS IN MOTION ON A BUSY CITY STREET. PREVIOUSLY THE CAR HAD A FAULTY RANGE SWITCH THAT WAS INTERMITTENT AND TOOK 6 MONTHS TO DUPLICATE FOR THE DEALERSHIP. THEIR INITIAL FIX WAS TO ADJUST THE SWITCH, A YEAR LATER THE ISSUE RETURNED AND THEY REPLACED THE SWITCH AT THAT TIME. WONDERING IF THE TWO ISSUES ARE RELATED.

THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,244.

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WITHOUT BRAKE PEDAL BEING PRESSED AND EVEN WHEN CAR IS NOT STARTED. THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN THE BRAKE LIGHTS OFF. THIS HAPPENED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF IN GARAGE.

ON APRIL 14TH 2017 I GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT WHERE I ENDED UP ON MY DRIVERS SIDE IN A DITCH AND MY SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. WE HAVE BEEN IN CONSTANT CONTACT WITH HYUNDAI SINCE THAN WITH NO RESOLUTION. WE HAVE BEFORE THE CAR GOT FIXED AND AFTER THE CAR GOT FIXED PICTURES OF THE AIRBAGS AND YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE WHERE SOMEONE HAD TAMPERED WITH THEM. MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY SINCE MAY 4TH NOT BEING DRIVEN BECAUSE WE DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT NOT KNOWING IF THE AIRBAGS ARE GOING TO WORK IF WE NEED THEM TOO AND WE WERE TOLD TO NOT USE IT BY HYUNDAI UNTIL SOMEONE FROM HYUNDAI COULD COME AND INSPECT THE CAR, WHICH THEY NEVER DID. I ALSO HAVE ALL THE PHONE CALLS WE HAVE EVER MADE TO HYUNDAI WRITTEN DOWN INCLUDING TIMES, DATES, WHO WE TALKED TO AND WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT, ALL THE EMAILS SENT BACK AND FORTH WITH HYUNDAI WE ALSO HAVE PRINTED. IT HAS GOTTEN TO A PINT NOW THAT WE ACTUALLY GOT THE BBB AND THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL INVOLVED. I HAVE INCLUDED THE PICTURES MY HUSBAND TOOK OF THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA EQUIPPED WITH PRIMEWELL VALERA TOURING II TIRES, SIZE: 205/55/R16 (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SEVERELY SHAKE AND THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SPUN AROUND AND CAME TO A STOP. THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE BEGAN TO SMOKE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TIRE THREAD HAD TORN AND CAUSED THE TIRE WALL TO CAVE INWARDS. THE CONTACT HAD A CERTIFIED MECHANIC REPLACE THE TIRE WITH A SPARE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND THE APPROXIMATE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY AND DECELERATING FROM APPROXIMATELY 60-35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED TO 15 MPH ON ITS OWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SHAFFER HYUNDAI WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BAR FAILED AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED AND THE REAR VIEW MIRROR HOUSING BROKE APART ALONG WITH THE METAL PIECE USED TO ATTACH THE MIRROR. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 75MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND SAW THE REAR VIEW MIRROR EJECTED LIKE A PROJECTILE. THE GLASS HAD SEVERAL CRACKS RUNNING THE LENGTH OF THE WINDSHIELD, ORIGINATING FROM THE METAL PIECE THAT HELD THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A ROCK OR FLYING DEBRIS FROM THE ROAD THAT CAME THRU THE WINDSHIELD. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND NOTICED THAT THE ORIGIN OF THE CRACKS AND POINT OF BREAKAGE WAS FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. THERE WAS NO NOTICEABLE IMPACT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD, NOT EVEN A MINOR SCRATCH TO INDICATE SOMETHING HAD HIT IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THERE WERE SEVERAL PIECES OF GLASS ON THE INSIDE WHERE THE METAL PIECE BROKE OFF WITH SOME GLASS STILL GLUED TO IT. THE PIECE THAT CONNECTED THE MIRROR TO THE METAL PIECE SHATTERED INTO 3 PIECES. I AM UNSURE OF WHAT CAUSED THIS, BUT IT IS CONCERNING TO KNOW THIS COULD HAPPEN TO OTHER DRIVERS.

I WAS DRIVING AT 45MPH WHEN MY FRONT SUNROOF EXPLODED AND SHATTERED. I HEARD A LOUD NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT, THEN NOTICED MY SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. MOST OF THE GLASS THEN FELL INSIDE OF MY CAR. THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS IN FRONT OF OR AROUND ME.

MY 2013 ELANTRA (APPX. 54K MILES) BEGAN MAKING NOISES WHEN TURNING WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN STALLING. TWICE THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AND SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL STREETS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN FEBRUARY 2017 AND THEY INDICATED THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE CAR AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT HAD BEEN LESS THAN 5K MILES SINCE THE LAST OIL CHANGE. THE REPAIRS AND RENTAL ARE BOTH COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER REPLACING THE ENGINE AND A FEW OTHER PARTS, I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS READY FOR PICKUP IN MARCH 2017. I GOT IN THE CAR AND NOTICED A NOISE. THE ADVISOR AND TECH SAID ITS BECAUSE OF A NEW PUMP AND WILL GO AWAY AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES. IMMEDIATELY AFTER DRIVING OFF AND ENTERING THE HIGHWAY I HEARD A DRAGGING NOISE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE AND PLACED ME IN ANOTHER RENTAL. IT IS NOW MAY 2017 AND THE CAR IS STILL IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REPLACE TWICE AND OTHER PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACE MULTIPLE TIMES AS WELL. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT HYUNDAI HAS SENT OUT AN ENGINEER TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT IT APPEARS THEY DO NOT KNOW THE PROBLEM AND/OR CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM NO LONGER CONFIDENT IN THE SAFETY OF MY CAR AND HYUNDAI VEHICLES OVER ALL.

BOUGHT CAR WITH NEW TIRES TOOK BACK FOR LOW TIRE PRESSURE HAVE TO PUT AIR IN TIRES EVERY WEEK OR TIRES WOULD BE FLAT DEALER SAID THEIR IS NO PROBLEM. LOOKED ON LINE CAR HAS A LOT OF TIRE COMPLAINTS OF LOW TIRE PRESSURE DEALER WILL NOT FIX

CRUISE CONTROL SWITCHES DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY ON THIS 2013 ELANTRA GT. THE "SET" BUTTON DOSE NOT ENGAGE OR ACTIVATE CRUISE CONTROL. IT "CANCELS IT. HOWEVER, PRESSING THE CANCEL' BUTTON DOES NOT DIS-ENGAGE OR STOP THE CRUISE CONTROL IT ACTUALLY ACTIVATES IT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CLOSED THE CARDBOARD CLUSTER TO PREVENT THE GLASS FROM FALLING INTO THE VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,917.

I BOUGHT A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA LIMITED NEW. 3 YEARS LATER THE CAR STALLS OUT WHEN STOPPED AND IT DIFFICULT TO START. HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP SO MANY TIMES (10) WITHIN A 2 MONTH PERIOD, I USE THE LOANER MORE THAN MY OWN CAR. THE LAST TIME I PICKED IT UP THEY HAD CHANGED OUT THE TIMING COVER WITH OIL PUMP, CAM SHAFT AND TIMING CHAIN. CALLED ME TO COME PICK MY VEHICLE UP AS IT WAS READY. WHEN EXITING THE DEALERSHIP, I CAME TO THE STOP LIGHT AND THE CAR STALLED ONCE AGAIN WITH IT BEING DIFFICULT TO START. TURNED AROUND AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DRIVE FASTER THAN 20 MPH. THE SERVICE MANAGER CAME OUT AND ASKED WHAT WAS WRONG. I ASKED HIM TO GET IN THE VEHICLE THAT THEY HAD JUST FIXED. HE DROVE IT AND THEY NOW HAVE MY CAR ONCE AGAIN AND I'M DRIVING THE LOANER. THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND SAY THEY KEEP CALLING THE MANUFACTURER FOR INPUT. APPARENTLY NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS WRONG AND I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HYUNDAI AS IT SEEMS THEY CAN'T REPAIR THEIR VEHICLES WITH THESE SIMILAR PROBLEMS.

LOW TO NO VISIBILITY WHEN REVERSING/BACKING UP. THE CONSUMER STATED THE THERE WAS A VERY LARGE BLIND SPOT LOOKING IN THE MIRROR WHILE REVERSING. THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO BE ADVISED ON OPTIONS CONCERNING RETURNING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. UPDATED 07/10/2017*JS

THE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND OFF. CALLED LUTES KIA FOR SERVICE. THEY SAID IT WAS BATTERY PUT NEW BATTERY IN. THE NEXT DAY THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED WOULD NOT START, CALLED LUTES KIA AFTER SEVERAL DAYS I WAS TOLD THEY WERE NOT SURE WHAT WAS WRONG AND REPLACED THE STARTER. I GET MY CARS OIL CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES, KEEP UP ON MY MAINTENANCE. ELECTRICAL IS AFFECTED SOMETHING KEEPS SHORTING OUT HEAD LIGHTS/ TAIL LIGHTS. I HAVE RECEIPTS AND SERVICE ORDERS. IT LOSES POWER ON LOAD AND IS VERY UNSTABLE. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF THE HEADLIGHTS AND TURNS ON WHEN IT WANTS TO.

O2 SENSOR NEEDS RECALIBRATION

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. WENT ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. IS NOW ALMOST ALWAYS ON, BUT ON RARE OCCASIONS WILL TURN OFF ONLY TO COME BACK ON LATER. 77000 MILES ON CAR, SO NOT IN WARRANTY. SYMPTOMS SEEM SIMILAR TO EARLIER RECALL OF HYUNDAI VEHICLES FOR DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRINGS.

IT WAS JAN 8, 2017 AND IT HAD BEEN RAINING. MY SON WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND HE HYDROPLANED ON THE FREEWAY GOING 55-60 MPH. THE VEHICLE DID A 90 DEGREE TURN ON THE FREEWAY AND HIT A GUARD RAIL. BOTH MY SON AND GRAND DAUGHTER HAD WHIPLASH BUT NO OTHER VISIBLE SIGNS. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I OPENED A CLAIM WITH HYUNDAI. THEY SENT AN PRIVATE INSPECTOR AND HYUNDAI DETERMINED THAT THE AIR BAGS SHOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED (SEE ATTACHED)

THE REAR END OF THE CAR JUMPS AROUND AND FEELS UNSTABLE IN WIND OR ON WET OR UNEVEN SURFACES. IT FEELS LIKE I COULD EASILY LOSE CONTROL, VERY FRIGHTENING. I HAVE 4/32 TIRE TREAD LEFT ON 60K MICHELINS AFTER ONLY 32K MILES DRIVEN. THE FIRST SET OF TIRES LASTED ONLY 28K. THIS FORM WILL NOT LET ME PROCEED WITHOUT A DATE, BUT THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM, NOT A ONE TIME THING.

DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT WILL NOT FASTEN. AIR CONDITIONER IS NOT WORKING, CAR BLOWING HOT AIR.

DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD AT LESS THAN 30 MPH HEARD A LOUD BANG AND WHEEL FLEW OFF CAR. UPON INSPECTION, THE WHEEL SNAPPED IN HALF LEAVING PART STILL ATTACHED TO THE CAR AND THE OTHER HALF ATTACHED TO THE TIRE WHICH WAS NO LONGER ON THE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT AROUND 70MPH I HEARD A LOUD BANG UPON LOOKING AROUND REALIZED MY SUNROOF HAD BLOWN OUTWARD FROM THE CENTER. I KNOW NOTHING HIT IT FROM THE INSIDE AND NOTHING FELL ON TOP OF IT EITHER. I WAS LEFT DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH A LARGE HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF MY SUNROOF WITH CRACKED GLASS ALL ALONG THE SIDES. *TR

REAR TIRES GO BALD PREMATURELY AND FRONT TIRES WEAR ON THE INBOARD SIDE PREMATURELY AND THE FRONT TIRE ARE REAL PRONE TO SIDE WALL BULGING. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 37,417 MILES AND IT NOW HAS 66,388 MILES AND I'VE BEEN MADE TO PURCHASE THREE SETS OF TIRES SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE US CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE FORCED INTO PAYING FOR DEFECTS LIKE THIS

AT 60K MILES, A KNOCKING SOUND CAME FROM THE ENGINE AFTER ROUGH IDLING. THE ENGINE OIL NOW HAS METAL SHAVINGS. DEALERSHIP DENIED THAT THERE HAVE EVER BEEN PROBLEMS. NEVER MISSED AN OIL CHANGE. TRYING TO GET DEALER TO COVER UNDER WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE CONTACT OBSERVED AN ABNORMAL SOUND FROM THE ENGINE AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

THE ENGINE OF MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GLS FAILED TO START THE MORNING OF 1/3/17 WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. I TURNED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE, BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T START OR EVEN TRY TO TURN OVER. AFTER APPX. 15 ATTEMPTS, IT FINALLY STARTED. I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY HOPING THAT WOULD FIX PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM REPEATED ON 1/18/17, AGAIN WHILE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. AFTER ROUGHLY 50 ATTEMPTS TO START THE CAR AND TRYING TO WIGGLE THE GEAR SHIFT, IT FINALLY STARTED. I THEN DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LEFT THE CAR WITH THEM OVERNIGHT. THE FOLLOWING DAY I WAS ADVISED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT SINCE THEY COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR TRIGGER ANY DIAGNOSTIC CODES, THEY COULD NOT REPAIR IT OR REPLACE ANY PARTS. FORTUNATELY, TO DATE I HAVE BEEN IN SAFE PLACES DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS WHEN MY CAR FAILED TO START. HOWEVER, I MAY NOT ALWAYS BE SO FORTUNATE AND COULD POSSIBLY BE STRANDED IN A VERY VULNERABLE LOCATION IN THE FUTURE. OUT OF THE 430 COMPLAINTS LISTED AGAINST THE 2013 ELANTRA ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, ROUGHLY 7% OF THE OWNERS REPORTED EXPERIENCING THIS IDENTICAL PROBLEM. A FURTHER SEARCH OF THE INTERNET REVEALS MANY, MANY MORE SUCH COMPLAINTS. ONE MIGHT BELIEVE THAT COULD INDICATE THE EXISTENCE OF A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM; YET, IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS ISSUED ANY RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS SPECIFIC TO MY VEHICLE MODEL TO ADDRESS/FIX THIS ENGINE FAILURE.

AFTER 50K MILES THE CAR STARTED TO IDLE ROUGH. CHANGED SPARK PLUGS, AIR FILTER, ETC. STILL RAN ROUGH. CAR NOW STALLS OUT WHEN STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, AND LATELY WILL NOT ACCELERATE UP TO SPEED FROM A STOPPED POSITION TOO WELL. STARTED TO HEAR A 'CLICKING' NOISE THAT IS SYNCED WHEN I PRESS THE GAS. THE VEHICLE IS NOW STALLING WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE AS WELL.

SIDE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT AND OVERHEATED MELTING AND CRACKING THE LENS. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT COSTS 560.00. DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT A VEHICLE WITH THIS TYPE OF LIGHT DOESN'T HAVE A SAFETY MECHANISM TO WARN THE DRIVER. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

PARKING LIGHTS WON'T TURN OFF, CAR WON'T START WITHIN MINUTES/SECONDS LATER, HAD 7 ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO JUMP START ME IN TWO MONTHS, PLUS OTHERS FROM SECURITY GUARDS, ETC. MY CAR IS ON RECALL FOR THESE PROBLEMS, JUST MY VIN NUMBER ISN'T, THE HYUNDAI-IT DIES WITHIN SECONDS.IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM WAITING IN MY CAR, NO ENGINE ON, WHEN I RUN THE RADIO ENGINE OFF, ALWAYS AFTER THE ENGINE IS OFF, WITH OR WITHOUT RADIO PLAYING OR EVERYTHING IS SHUT OFF, IT HAPPENS--MY PARKING LIGHTS STAY ON UNLESS I GET OUT OF THE CAR, OPEN THE DOOR, AND LOCK IT IMMEDIATELY IF I TAKE A FEW STEPS AND COME BACK TO LOCK IT, IT'S ALREADY DEAD, HAS LEFT ME AT WORK, SCHOOL, IN MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, EVERYWHERE, ANYWHERE, ENGINE CUTS OF AND ON WHEN TAKING OFF OR MAKING A SLOW CURVE, CAR DIES WHILE PARKED DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD APPROVE MY ISSUES TO BE FIXED BECAUSE NO RECALL ON MY VIN # BUT I HAVE NO CAR HALF THE TIME ENGINE CUTS OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING, BRAKES GRIND STRANGE NOISE. *TR

REAR SUSPENSION IS UNSETTLING. FIRST OFF, THE CAR DESTROYS TIRES IN A RELATIVELY SHORT TIME. SECOND, OVER BUMPY TERRAIN THE CAR'S REAR SHAKES BACK AND FORTH LIKE IT'S TRYING TO STEER ITSELF. THIRD, WHEN IT'S ICY OR SLIPPERY AND THE ROAD SURFACE ISN'T SMOOTH THE REAR OF THE CAR TRIES TO SWING OUT WHEN ONE SIDE HAS GRIP AND THE OTHER DOESN'T.

THE CAR ACCELERATES WITHOUT MY INTENTION. I CAN BE DRIVING MY CAR AND THE (STREET OR HWY IN MOTION) WHILE DRIVING THE CAR/ENGINE ACCELERATES. I WAS IN DISBELIEF BUT AFTER IT HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES, REMOVING MY FOOT FROM THE PEDAL AND STILL HEARING THE ACCELERATION, IT FREAKS ME OUT. SCARES ME TO DEATH.

WHILE DRIVING UP OVER A MOUNTAIN PASS THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WARNING LIGHTS WERE LIT AND THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT LIT. I STOPPED AND CHECKED THE TIRES. THE RIGHT REAR TIRE HAD A HOLE IN THE SIDEWALL. THERE WAS NO IMPACT WITH ANY VEHICLE OR HILLSIDE. THIS ROAD HAS QUITE A FEW TURNS AND IS A NARROW TWO LANE MOUNTAIN PASS. ( GATES PASS, TUCSON ARIZONA. *TR

STEERING , WILL OVER STEER AT TIME'S. FEEL'S AS IF POWER STEERING PRESSURE DROP'S , MAKING STEERING WHEEL TIGHT TO TURN. AND WHEN IT COME'S BACK THE CAR TENDS TO OVER STEER.

I AM REPLACING BRAKE LIGHT BULBS A LITTLE TO OFTEN I BELIEVE. AND WHEN I CONTACT HYUNDAI THEY SAID THEIRS NO RECALLS SO MAYBE ITS ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT THEY HAVEN'T DISCOVERED YET. WELL OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T BE HAPPENING TO MY CAR SO OFTEN. BUT AFTER REPLACING THE BRAKE LIGHT BULBS MAYBE GOING ON 6 TIMES NOW MY FIRST HEADLIGHT SOCKET BURNT OUT I WENT TO AUTO ZONE AND BOUGHT A REPLACEMENT ONE. I AM CURIOUS AM I THE ONLY ONE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS ??? *TR
