2013 Hyundai Elantra complaints

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR THE TRIP RESET BUTTON DOES NOT RESET AND THE NUMBER OF MPG GOING CRAZY AND NOW I HAVE THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH ON SUDDENLY AND STAYED ON. I AM AFRAID THAT THE AIR BAG WILL DEPLOID OR WONT WORK ON A ACCIDENT. SAFETY. THIS VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

THE LIGHTS IN THE INSIDE COME ON BY IT SELF WHEN WHILE DRIVING THE DOME LIGHTS N THE OTHER PANEL LIGHT. SUSPENSION UNDER THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR RATTLE. ALSO WHEN STOPPING THE CAR WHEN IT RAINING IT SLIDS

I HAVE 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA EQUIPPED WITH HANKOOK OPTIMO H426 TIRES, SIZE: P205/55R16. I DISCOVERED BUBBLES ON THE SIDEWALLS OF THE DRIVER SIDE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRE WAS THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE AND TIRE WAS 20,000.

TAKATA RECALL. MY COMPLAINTS INVOLVES THE STEERING AND BRAKES. WHEN IN MOTION AND APPLY PRESSURE TO STEERING EITHER DIRECTION NOTHING HAPPENS. ITS VERY STICKY. APPLY MORE PRESSURE AND IT OVER STEERS. HIS TO THE POINT THAT IT IS EXTREMELY AGGRAVATING AND DANGEROUS. WHEN IN MOTION THE BRAKES CHATTER TERRIBLY. EVEN WORSE IN RAINY CONDITIONS. VIBRATES THE WHOLE CAR. I FOUND THAT HYUNDAI IS WELL AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS. WHY HAVEN'T THEY CORRECTED THESE PROBLEMS ? ARE THEY SIMPLY USING THEIR BUYERS AS GUINEA PIGS ? OR DO THEY EVEN CARE ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THEIR PRODUCT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'VE MADE THESE COMPLAINTS AND AS OF NOW, STILL NO RESPONSE. WASTED MY HARD EARNED MONEY FOR SURE AS WELL AS MY TIME. THANKS.

I DRIVE 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA, REAR SUSPENSION IS TERRIBLE, VERY UNSTABLE EVEN ON SMALL BUMPS. IT'S DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE!

MY SON HAD AN ACCIDENT ON THE STREET WHERE WE LIVE COMING HOME ONE NIGHT, HE FELL ASLEEP AND HE RAN INTO A PARKED PICK UP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STREET AND THE HAD LOTS OF FRONT END DAMAGE, THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. HE HIT HIS FACE ON THE STEERING WHEEL DURING THE ACCIDENT, THE AIR BAG(S) DID NOT DEPLOY. MY SON'S FACE WAS HORRIBLY SWOLLEN, HE ALSO ENDED UP WITH A BLACKEN, BLOOD SHOT EYE AS WELL AND I HAD TO TAKE HIM TO THE DOCTOR TO SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.

MY DAUGHTER PURCHASED CAR FEB/2015 FROM A DEALER CAR HAD 69245 MILES ON IT DROVE MAY HAVE MISSED ONE OIL CHANGE IN BETWEEN THAT TIME AND NOW THE MOTOR HAS A LOUD TICKING INSIDE AND IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED BY DEALER IT NEEDS A NEW MOTOR. I DRIVEN OLDER CARS A LOT LONGER AND MISSED A SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE AND CAR IS STILL RUNNING WITH NO MOTOR ISSUES OF COURSE THAT WAS A CHEVROLET. THE NEW CARS WONT LAST AT ALL IF YOU MISS A OIL CHANGE DATE.

OWNED VEHICLE FOR 3 YEARS, HAVE BEEN NOTICING A FEW PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE THAT IS THE RESULT OF THE POOR SUSPENSION. THE MIL CAME ON TODAY HINTING TO POSSIBLE SENSOR ISSUES, THE VEHICLE ALSO CONSTANTLY SHAKES AND TREMBLES WHEN IDLE. THE CORE OF THE PROBLEMS APPEARS TO BE THE RESULT OF POOR SUSPENSION AS THE VEHICLE ROCKS UP AND DOWN AFTER HITTING ANY IDEA SPEED BUMP, HILL OR POTHOLE. IT PUTS DRIVERS AT A DIFFICULT POSITION SINCE THE ROCKING OF THE VEHICLE CAUSES IT TO JUMP OVER TO THE RIGHT WHEN YOU ARE ON A HIGHWAY. PLEASE SERIOUS LOOK INTO THIS. EVERY DEALERSHIP IS ADVISING THIS IS NORMAL BUT NO OTHER VEHICLE DOES THIS.

I HAVE TAKEN MY HYUNDAI ELANTRA INTO RED MCCOMBS HYUNDAI IN SAN ANTONIO TX. ON I-10 WEST SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WIT THE STRUTS. AND THEY DID WORK ON THE SURGING PART OF THE ENGINE BUT IT STILL SURGES WHEN SPEEDING UP. I WAS TOLD BY FIRESTONE THAT THE STRUTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND I WAS TOLD BY TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS HERE IN KERRVILLE, TX THE SAME THING BUT THEY SAID I WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND SHOULD TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND INSIST THEY REPAIR IT. SO I'LL TRY ONE MORE TIME. THE FRONT END MAKES A LOUD CLICKING SOUND WHEN TAKING OFF AND FEELS LIKE IT BOTTOMS OUT WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP. IT IS A BIT NERVE RACKING. THE LAST MECHANIC TOLD ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER ON 3/14/2016. THIS PROBLEM IS TWO YEARS OLD NOW, [XXX] 'INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *BF

SUBJECT: 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GLS TROUBLE WITH TPMS SENSORS COMMENTS: I UNDERSTAND YOU WANTED THESE IN ALL NEW CARS. WHILE THAT IS GREAT IT'S COSTING SOME CONSUMER'S WAY TO MUCH MONEY AND HEADACHES INCLUDING MYSELF. THEY AREN'T REGULATE TO FINE SPEC'S OF MANUFACTURING THEM AFTERMARKET OR OEM. ALONG WITH TIRES INCLUDED. I CAN BUY AFTERMARKET CHEAPER OR TIRES CHEAPER ONLINE AND SHOULD HAVE THAT CHOICE. I BOUGHT NEW SENSORS FROM MR. TIRE FORMALLY KOST TIRE MY BILL IS ABOUT $386.00 AND THEY DON'T WORK BEEN THERE 4-5 TIMES TRYING TO RESET AND TO NO AVAIL. TOLD ME TO TAKE TO A DEALER BUT THAT'S ANOTHER COST TO ME TOO. I'M NOT ALONE IN THIS PROBLEM. I SUGGEST GET RID OF THEM OR GET ON THE BALL AND FIGURE IT OUT. COSTING ME A LOW INCOME PERSON MONEY AND STILL COSTING. DO NOT MAKE THEM PART OF AN INSPECTION TILL ALL BUGS ARE OUT. THANK-YOU.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 70 MILES AN HOUR MY SUNROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED SENDING GLASS ALL OVER MYSELF AND IN MY CAR LUCKILY I HAD A HAT ON WICH SHIELDED MY EYES AND MY CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED INTO THE VEHICLE. THAT FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUN ROOF NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE INITIAL FAMILIAR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 34,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

I 2/2/2016WHEN PARKING HYUNDAI ELANTRA 2013 IT SUDDENLY BARRELED FORWARD COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL OVER THE CEMENT MARKER AND SLAMMED INTO A TREE. PER INSURANCE INSTRUCTIONS CAR WAS TOWED TO HYUNDAI DEALER.AFTER A VERY EXPENSIVE FRONT END REPAIR THE SERVICE DEPT "TESTED" THE CAR AND PRONOUNCED IT IN GOOD CONDITION-NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS CAR.THE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP INSISTS HE DOES NOT KNOW OF ANY OTHER 2013 ELANTRA HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THIS CAR IS A MENACE TO ME AND TO OTHER MOTORISTS. WHY WON'T HYUNDAI ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM AND INFORM THEIR DEALERS OF A NUMBER OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUSPENSION CAUSED THE TIRES TO BECOME FLAT WHEN DRIVING OVER A POTHOLE AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 30-60 MPH. THE CONTACT HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES FOUR TIMES IN TWO WEEKS. IN ADDITION, THE TIRES EXPERIENCED BUBBLES IN THE SIDEWALLS. THE TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE REPLACED A TOTAL OF SIX TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR DOES RETURN TO A FLUSH POSITION, SO IT IS LEFT PARTIALLY BLOCKING THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING AND COMES INTO CONTACT WITH THE TOP OF THE DRIVERS HEAD WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2013 ELANTRA GT. AROUND FEBRUARY 4, 2016 I HIT A POTHOLE, ON MARYLAND ROUTE 175, DUE TO ROAD WORK COMBINED WITH INCLEMENT WEATHER. A DISTURBING SOUND ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE OCCURRED AFTER CONTACT WITH THE POTHOLE. UPON INSPECTION OF THE TIRES AND RIMS ALL SEEMED WELL. ON FEBRUARY 24, 2016 (AFTER BEING STATIONARY SINCE THE INCIDENT), A LARGE GOLF BALL SIZE BULGE APPEARED ON THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE AND A SMALLER ONE ON THE REAR RIGHT TIRE. THE TIRES HAVE ONLY 7,815 MILES ON THEM. DUE TO THE BULGES IN BOTH RIGHT TIRES I FEAR A BLOWOUT COULD OCCUR IN ONE OR BOTH TIRES, LOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR, BEFORE SAFELY BEING DRIVING THE 15 MILES IN CITY TRAFFIC TO THE DEALERSHIP.

SAME ISSUE AS MANY OTHERS. THE CAR RIDES VERY ROUGH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS. I HAVE HAD ONE INSTANCE WHERE THE FRONT LEFT TIRE BULGED AND EVENTUALLY WENT FLAT ON CHRISTMAS NIGHT. TURNED OUT THE RIM WAS ALSO DENTED. THE SECOND OCCASION WAS WHEN MY DAUGHTER RAN OVER A POTHOLE AND THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE WENT FLAT AND THE RIM BENT. I FILED A CASE WITH HYUNDAI AND HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH TE DEALER TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE CAR IS FOR MY NEW DRIVER DAUGHTER BUT I FEEL IT IS VERY UNSAFE FOR HER TO USE. ASIDE FROM THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO SPARE AND JACK. JUST AN INFLATOR KIT WHICH DIDN'T HELP IN EITHER OF THESE SITUATIONS. WOULD LOVE TO SEE IF ANYONE HAS A SOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH IN SNOW, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WOULD VEER OFF TRACK AS THOUGH IT WANTED TO FISHTAIL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN INTO A RAMP, CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS NEARLY LOST CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS, HOWEVER THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000. UPDATED 04/22/16*LJ

MAKING UNUSUAL VIBRATION AND NOISE ON ONE SIDE AND DEALER VISITED SEVERAL TIMES BUT CAN'T FIND OR FIXED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MAKE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BEARINGS IN THE VEHICLE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,500.

I WAS BRAKING TO MAKE A TURN ON A AN ICY ROAD WHEN THE BRAKES MADE A LOUD GRINDING SOUND AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT PRESS IN PROPERLY - SORT OF LIKE IT WAS FIGHTING BACK. I THOUGHT IT WAS A RESPONSE BY ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL BECAUSE OF THE ICE, BUT THEN LATER THE SAME DAY, SLOWING DOWN AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE SAME SOUND OCCURRED AGAIN ON A COMPLETELY DRY ROAD SURFACE. THE SOUND CONTINUED WHILE BRAKING FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP WHILE BRAKING ON DRY ROADS. I EVEN TRIED PRESSING THE BRAKES WITH DIFFERENT FORCE - LIGHTLY AND SUDDENLY - TO THE SAME RESULT. STOPPING DISTANCE AND BRAKING QUALITY WERE COMPROMISED - IT DEFINITELY TOOK ME LONGER TO STOP SO I AM VERY THANKFUL I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I WILL ALSO NOTE THAT THE SOUND OCCURS TOWARDS THE END OF A LONG DRIVE (APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR), NOT RUNNING BRIEF ERRANDS. SO IT IS AS IF THE CAR MUST BE RUNNING HOT FIRST AND THEN THE ISSUE REPLICATES.

TIRES ARE DAMAGE AND MANUFACTURER NOR HYUNDAI WANTS TO REPLACE THEM EVEN THOUGH IS A SAFETY ISSUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE RAN OVER A CURB INTO THE HIGHWAY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000. UPDATED 01/10/2017*CT *TR

TAKATA RECALL. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON SINCE DECEMBER 23RD 2015, I WENT TO THE RICK CASE HYUNDAI DEALER IN DAVIE, FL AND THEY TOLD ME THE WARRANTY EXPIRES??, HOW COME A WARRANTY FOR A MECHANIC PART THAT IS NOT IN USE, MEAN THE AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED, CAN EXPIRE??, I AM VERY CONCERN FOR MY WIFE, DAUGHTER AND ME SAFETY AND AFRAID TO USE THE CAR FOR LONG TRIPS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS HIGH SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME INOPERABLE WHICH RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE SWERVING WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA ON DECEMBER 24, 2013, THE VEHICLE WAS BEING OPERATED ON A ROAD WITH A 35 MPH SPEED LIMIT. WITHOUT ANY DEVIATION OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE JUMPED TO 60 MPH. WHILE AT THE SUBSEQUENT STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE'S RPM'S REMAINED HIGH (APPROXIMATELY OVER 5,500 RPM). THE ELANTRA WAS THEN DRIVEN TO A HOME DEPOT PARKING LOT. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, RPM'S CLIMBED TO 5,000 (WHILE IN "PARK"). NO OTHER MODULES WERE BEING USED AT THIS TIME - INCLUDING CRUISE CONTROL OR "ECO BOOST." THE VEHICLE'S RPM RATE REMAINED AT AROUND 2,500-3,000 ONCE PUT INTO "DRIVE", RESULTING IN THE SPEED REACHING APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MPH. THIS IS WITHOUT THE FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND TRAVELING OVER SMALL HILLS AND GRADE VARIANTS. SUMMARY: WHILE 2013 ELANTRA IS IN PARK, RPM'S REST AT 5,000. WHILE IN DRIVE, RPM''S BOTTOM OUT AT 2,500-3,000, DISALLOWING THE ABILITY TO NATURALLY STOP. THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO RESIDE IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE COMPONENTS LOCATED THEREIN. THIS IS TO BE CONFIRMED AT A HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER.

NO SPARE TIRE , NO JACK OR TIRE IRON.

THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE 1. STEERING- THE ELECTRIC STEERING MAKES THIS VEHICLE HARD TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE ON THE FREEWAY. THE AUTO STEERING OR SELF CORRECTING STEERING IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD HAVE AN OFF SWITCH. 2.TRACTION CONTROL- THE TRACTION CONTROL IS DANGEROUS IN ICE,SNOW AND RAIN. IT HAS THE OPPOSITE EFFECT IN THESE CONDITIONS, IT WOULD SAFER AND WOULD HAVE MORE CONTROL IF IT IS SIMPLY TURNED OFF. 3. STALLING- THE VEHICLE STALLS VERY EASY, BUT I BELIEVE IT DUE TO SAVING GAS AT IDLE WITH LOWER RPM. (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) REQUIRES MORE GAS WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP THAN ANY VEHICLE I'VE HAVE OWNED. 4. TPS- TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR NEVER WORKS ALWAYS SAYS THERE IS AN ISSUE EVEN AFTER REPLACING SENSORS. THESE PROBLEMS ARE CONSTANT SINCE PURCHASE!

VEHICLE FAILED TO START IN PARK OR NEUTRAL. EVENTUALLY AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS MOVING THE SHIFTER VEHICLE STARTED. THIS HAS BEEN AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL MONTHS. DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED ISSUE AS HAVING TO DO WITH A FAULTY RANGE SWITCH. IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON DEFECT AMONG VARIOUS HYUNDAI MODELS AS EVIDENCED BY THE LINK BELOW BUT MANUFACTURER THUS FAR REFUSES TO ISSUE RECALL ON DEFECT. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=UVNMGSE0NNA

THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON A SATURDAY AROUND 1PM. I WAS HEADING HOME WHEN I APPROACHED A INTERSECTION WHEN A LADY COMING FROM A STREET ON THE RIGHT SIDE WAS COMING OUT AND EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD A STOP SIGN SHE FAIL TO FULLY STOP AND ME HAVING NO TIME TO REACT I HIT THE MIDDLE OF THE CAR (T-BONE HER).

MY 2013 ELANTRA'S ENGINE RECENTLY STALLED AND NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM AS EXPLAINED TO ME BY THE HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPT. SOUNDS EXTREMELY SIMILAR TO THE PROBLEMS THAT LED TO THE RECENT SONATA RECALL. HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED: I WAS SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT WHEN I HEARD A STRANGE CLICKING/KNOCKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HAVE A VERY ROUGH IDLE, SHAKING NOTICEABLY. THE ENGINE THEN STALLED. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS OF TRYING, I WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN BUT STILL EXPERIENCED A VERY ROUGH IDLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD TURNED ON. I TOOK IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. AFTER THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD LOOKED AT MY CAR, THEY TOLD ME THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THEY WERE GOING TO FILE A WARRANTY CLAIM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE BEARINGS HAD FAILED, AND THAT WHEN THEY DON'T WORK PROPERLY TO REDUCE FRICTION IN THE ENGINE, METAL SHARDS CAN GET INTO THE ENGINE AND CAUSE PROBLEMS. AS I UNDERSTAND IT FROM READING ABOUT THE RECENT CLASS-ACTION AGAINST HYUNDAI, THIS SOUNDS VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL TO THE PROBLEMS WITH THE SONATA ENGINES THAT ULTIMATELY LED TO THE RECALL. I AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR ABOUT THE WARRANTY (I'M STILL UNDER THE FULL 5 YEAR/60K MILES CPO WARRANTY), BUT WANTED TO REPORT THIS ISSUE SINCE WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD IS SO SIMILAR TO THE ISSUES WITH THE SONATA ENGINES. IF THE WARRANTY CLAIM IS DENIED, I PLAN TO REQUEST DOCUMENTATION OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE AND WILL BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE THEM TO NHTSA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED DURING RAIN, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKES AND THERE WAS A INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA EQUIPPED WITH HANKOOK OPTIMO H426 TIRES, SIZE: P215/45R15 (NA). AFTER INSPECTING THE TIRES, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED BUBBLES ON THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE WAS THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE AND TIRE WAS 29,000.

IS HAS BEEN 2 YEARS NOW SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN THE DEALER APPROXIMATELY 15 TIMES FOR SUSPENSION AND STEERING PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE HANDLES POORLY ON PRETTY MUCH ANY ROAD CONDITION. THE VEHICLE WILL SWAY AND JUMP OVER EVERY BUMP OR CRACK IN THE ROAD. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT IN A LANE AND FEEL YOU HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE TO WHITENUCKLE THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE SUSPENSION HAS BEEN CLUNKY SINCE DAY ONE AND THE DEALERSHIP FINDS NOTHING WRONG! THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUES. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO STEP IT UP AND PROTECT THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS!

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON UNEVEN ROADWAYS THE REAR OF THE CAR LIKES TO FISH TAIL..IE POT HOLES, ROUGH ROADS ETC.. THE FRONT OF THE CAR ALWAYS WANTS TO SWAY BACK AND FORTH ON ANY TYPE TO ROAD SURFACE AS IT FELLS LIKE THE CAR IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE ROAD. WINDY DAYS ARE EVEN WORST AND PASSING SEMI'S IS JUST AS BAD. YOU CONSISTENTLY HAVE TO FIGHT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT SEEMS TO BE A UNSAFE CAR. WE NEED A RECALL TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM...ALSO MY STEERING WHEEL IS MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND AND POPS WHEN TURNING AND IT HAPPENS ALL DAY LONG

CAR STARTS BUT WON'T STAY ON, NEW BATTERY INSTALLED, STILL DOESN'T TURN ON, IN GARAGE AND IS BEING TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. WINDOWSHIED FOG CONSTANTLY, AND ALL F A SUDDEN AFTER 10 MINUTES AND ONLY WAY TO DEFOG---OPEN WINDOWS., HAPPENS EVERY AM AS DRIVING TO WORK ON FREEWAY OR HOME AT NIGHTS. THE CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED. GAS MILEAGE IS NOT 33 MILES PER GALLON. DISAPPOINTED. ALSO SUN ROOF DOESN'T CLOSE, WAS FIXED, AND STILL DOESN'T CLOSE ALL THE WAY WITHOUT ME DOING FANCY MANEUVER WITH SWITCH. CONCERNED- MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!

UNABLE TO KEEP CAR IN LANE. STEERING ISSUE

I OWN A HYUNDAI 2013 ELANTRA AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. THE CAR HAS SEVERAL TIMES REFUSED TO START AND THE BREAK PAD GETS STUCK AND I CAN'T MOVE THE CAR OUT OF PARK. I'VE HAD TO CALL THE TOW TRUCK SEVERAL TIMES AND THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE THE CAR START AGAIN IS TO MANUALLY SHIFT IT INTO NEUTRAL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD, THE CAR ALMOST RAN OVER ME, ONCE WHEN I DIDNT APPLY THE EMERGENCY BREAK ON WHEN THE PERSON WAS MANUALLY PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL!!!! ADDITIONALLY, THE CAR SHAKES. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THEY INSPECTED IT. ONCE I CAME BACK THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, AND THAT THE SHAKING WAS DUE TO THE POWER OF THE MOTOR, THAT I NEEDED TO GET USE TO IT!! I'VE HAD TO ALSO REPLACE MY TIRES BECAUSE THEY SEEM TO WEAR OFF, AND I CAN'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE OVER ANYTHING WITHOUT SWERVING. I'VE HAD THE CAR ALIGNED AND MY CAR STILL SWERVES/PULLS TO THE LEFT! THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS CAR!! I CANT GET MY CAR FIXED BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT! I AM NOW STUCK MAKING CAR PAYMENTS TO A LEMON CAR! I'VE HAD TWO ACCIDENTS ON THIS CAR ALREADY ONE I REPORTED TO THE MY INSURANCE AND THEY WERE ABLE TO FIX IT. THERE WAS A TIRE ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS TOO SCARE TO SWIRVE THE CAR TO AVOID IT BECAUSE I KNOW THE CAR CANT HANDLE SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO I HAD TO GET THE IMPACT OF IT. PLEASE RECALL THIS CAR!

REAR OF THE VEHICLE TENDS TO FISHTAIL OR SWAY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40 MPH WHILE OPERATING ON SNOW COVERED ROADS, DURING RAINY ROAD CONDITIONS, WHEN THE VEHICLE TRAVELS UNEVEN PAVEMENT SUCH A STEEL BRIDGE DECK JOINTS. I CHECKED AND THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 20 SIMLIAR COMPLAINTS IN THE FIRST 80 COMPLAINTS THAT I LOOKED AT. SO 25% PERCENT OF THE FIRST 80 COMPLAINTS THAT I LOOKED AT FOR AGAINST THIS CAR ARE SIMILAR IN NATURE. THESE CONDITION IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND HE DECLINED TO SAY THERE ARE ANY KNOWN ISSUES AS DESCRIBED. I JUST MOUNTED MY WINTER TIRES AND WAS MADE AWARE OF SEVERE WEAR AS IF ONLY 1/3 OF TIRE IS ACTUALLY IN CONTACT WITH THE ROAD SURFACE. IF THIS IS THE CASE, THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY THE CAR IS UNSTABLE IN POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS. I JUST HAD THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED AND IT WAS FINE. THE POOR DESIGN OF THE REAR END AS FAR AS TRACKING GOES COULD EXPLAIN WHY TIRES ARE WEARING OUT PREMATURELY AND WHY THE VEHICLES FISHTAIL. LISTED BELOW ARE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS: NHTSA ID NUMBER 10785827 10782948 10782179 10777921 10776596 10749640 10748705 10726713 10722309 10721075 10716682 10713795 10712467 10706333 10704445 10695023 10694257 10691288 10680416

THE DEALERSHIP HAS CONSISTENTLY OVER-TORQUED THE WHEEL LUG NUT/BOLTS AND IT SEEMS THAT THE SITUATION IS GETTING WORSE. THE SPECIFICATION FOR THE LUG NUTS IS UP TP 79 FT-LBS.. THE LAST SERVICE BY THE DEALERSHIP TIGHTEN THEM TO 200-300 FT-LBS, OR MORE. THE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP DEFENDED THEIR WORK AND DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT A FT-LB WAS, NOT ALONE THE ELASTIC LIMIT OF THE BOLTS, NUTS AND ALLOY WHEELS. THEY SEEM TO THINK THAT THE CAR IS SAVE TO DRIVE, BUT CAN'T SAY WHY THEIR OVER-TORQUING MIGHT EVEN BE CONSIDERED A HAZARD . I POSE THAT THERE IS AN SYSTEMIC OVER-RELIANCE ON "TORQUE STICKS" ON IMPACT WRENCHES FOR TIGHTENING BOLTS. THEY DO NOT USE TORQUE WRENCHES. YOU SHOULD WATCH FOR LUG BOLT FAILURES BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SYSTEMATIC ISSUE. REGARDS, GEORGE BOSKOSH BSEE. MSMINE

I HAVE OWNED MY CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER 3 YEARS NOW. I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY FOB NOT UNLOCKING MY CAR. I WOULD HAD TO PRESS THE UNLOCK BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES TO UNLOCK. THEN I ALSO STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN ON MY CAR(WITH THE PUSH START) BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS REALLY STIFF. I HAD TO PRESS HARD ON THE BRAKE IN ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY TURN ON MY CAR. RECENTLY I'VE HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON SPORADICALLY. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF WHILE DURING MY DRIVES IN THE CITY. TWO DAYS AGO, I ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON MY CAR AND THE CAR BEGAN TO START, BUT CONTINUED TO MAKE THE IGNITION START SOUND FOR SEVERAL SECONDS--ABOUT 10 SECONDS-- THAN USUAL. THIS WAS OF COURSE NOT THE NORM, SO I PRESSED THE START UP BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE CAR. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON AGAIN, IT TURNED ON FINE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN. I WENT TO PEP BOYS AND MENEIKE TO CHECK THIS OUT AND THEY SAID THAT I HAD A P2096 PROBLEM. THIS CODE WAS FOLLOWED WITH THE DESCRIPTION AS FOLLOWS: POST CATALYST FUEL TRIM SYSTEM TOO LEAN BANK 1. ESSENTIALLY I WAS TOLD THAT THE RATIO OF OXYGEN AND FUEL , THE ENGINE TAKE IS OFF. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A LEAK THAT WOULD CAUSE THE LACK OF FUEL GOING INTO THE ENGINE, BUT WHEN THEY INVESTIGATED IT, THEY DIDN'T FIND A LEAK. AS OF NOW, I DON'T HAVE A REAL DIAGNOSIS FOR MY CAR. I'M NOT SURE IF ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS CORRELATE OR HAVE A DOMINO EFFECT ON EACH OTHER, BUT THE ISSUE WILL TAKE A WHILE TO TAKE CARE OF.

AT 16,000 MILES CAR WILL SIMPLY NOT TURN ON AGAIN. AAA HAS DONE TESTING OF BATTERY, STARTER, RECHARGING SYSTEM AND BATTERY DRAIN; ALL PASSED. DID SOME RESEARCH OF COMPLAINTS AND THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF SERIOUS, KNOWN ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THESE CARS (DRIVING THEMSELVES OFF THE ROAD, CATCHING FIRE). CALLED HYUNDAI AND THEY STATE NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY ISSUES. GETTING RID OF IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (AFTER AAA COMES BACK OUT TO GET IT TO TURN ON AGAIN).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA EQUIPPED WITH HANKOOK OPTIMO H426 TIRES, SIZE: P205/55R16. AFTER INSPECTING THE TIRES, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE TREAD WAS PREMATURELY WORN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000. THE DOT NUMBER AND VIN WERE UNAVAILABLE.

SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 MONTHS THE VEHICLE SPORADICALLY WILL NOT START OR TURN OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN PUSHING THE IGNITION BUTTON. IT APPEARS TO ME THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR THE IGNITION BUTTON. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER YET AS I WANTED TO CHECK TO SEE IF THERE WERE COMPLAINTS OR RECALLS. APPARENTLY MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

MY JOB REQUIRES ME TO DRIVE A LOT. LATELY, ABOUT ONCE A MONTH NOW, MY CAR WILL NOT START. IT TAKES A 2-3 ATTEMPTS BEFORE IT WILL TURNOVER. I LITERALLY DOES NOT MAKE A SOUND BUT THE LIGHTS AND INDICATORS COME ON. I HAVE 2013 ELANTRA GT 5 DOOR. I STARTED NOTICING THIS AT ABOUT 30K MILES. I NOW HAVE OVER 50K MILES. THIS HAS ONLY BEEN THIS YEAR THAT I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. I JUST DON'T WANT IT TO EVENTUALLY NOT START AT ALL.

THE FIRST TIME I TOOK THE CAR ON THE OPEN ROAD, 3 DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR, IS WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM. THE ELANTRA FEELS LIKE IT'S WANTS TO FISHTAIL EVERY TIME I DRIVE OVER A SMALL POTHOLE OR SLIGHTLY UNEVEN PAVEMENT. I WOULD ONLY BE TRAVELING AROUND 65 MPH, SO I WASN'T GOING VERY FAST. ALSO, ANY LITTLE CROSS BREEZE (12-15 MPH) WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO SWERVE ALL OVER THE PLACE, TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TAKE THE ACCESS ROADS. THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THIS SUSPENSION AND SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED, IF IT HASN'T HAPPENED ALREADY.

BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS MAKE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN APPLYING BRAKES TO STOP TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. REPORTED PROBLEM TO HYUNDAI SOUTHERN STATES DEALERSHIP ON 12/30/2013. DEALER STATED THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED. AS OF 10/19/2015, THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST AND IS WORST. THIS BRAKE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY CONSUMERS NATIONALLY TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS; BUT, HYUNDAI WILL NOT ADMIT TO THE SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN A RAINY AND WINDY WEATHER WITH A SPEED OF 35-40 MPH ON A HIGHWAY I REALIZED THAT THE VEHICLE IS SLIDING ON THE ROAD! IT REALLY SLID ON THE ROAD AND THE WIND PUSHED THE CAR TO THE LEFT. I WAS HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL SO HARD AND REDUCED MY SPEED A LITTLE BIT. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I REMEMBER MANY OTHER SIMILAR MOMENTS I HAD EXPERIENCED. IN FACT, WHENEVER THERE IS A LITTLE BUMP IN FRONT OF ME AND I MOVE OVER IT THE CAR BECOMES VERY UNSTABLE AND I FEEL I CANNOT CONTROL IT FOR LESS THAN HALF A SECOND. IF I MOVE OVER MORE UNEVEN PARTS OF ROAD THE CAR BECOMES VERY UNSTABLE. THIS HAPPENS IF MY SPEED IS OVER 20MPH AND WITH SMALL BUMPS! AGAIN LAST NIGHT, RIGHT AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, I WAS STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION OF TWO HIGHWAYS. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I WAS TURNING LEFT WITH A SPEED LESS THAN 15MPH THE REAR WHEELS WERE SLIDING SO BAD THAT FOR A MOMENT I THOUGHT I WON'T BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND WILL DEFINITELY CRASH INTO SOMETHING! IT WAS AN AMAZINGLY SCARING EXPERIENCE. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE CAR'S SUSPENSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE RAN A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND CRASHED INTO THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

MY 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA DID NOT START ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST MONTH. THE DASH LIGHTS AND INDICATORS CAME ON BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT CRANK OR MAKE ANY SOUND. EVENTUALLY AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS OVER 10 MINUTES, THE ENGINE STARTED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE CAR WILL NOT START AT ALL AND LEAVE ME STRANDED. ON ONE OTHER OCCASION AFTER STARTING, THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF THE PARK POSITION.
