THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE WARRANTY ON HER VEHICLE HAD EXPIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

ENGINE HAS ROUGH IDLE SINCE I GOT IT I BELIEVE IT HAS KNOCK ENGINE ISSUES AND SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST I HAVE REPLACED ENGINE COILS INJECTION SYSTEM CLEANING THE RPM AT IDLE IS SO ROUGH MY TRANSMIT FLUID WHEN I HAD MY METER PLUGGED IN IS SO HOT I'M AFRAID OF A FIRE. BUT HYUNDAI I'VE HAD SUCH BAD EXPERIENCE I'M AFRAID OF THE RUN AROUND I JUST WANT IT REPLACES FIXES IT IS FAULTY ENGINE NOW IT SURGES. I DON'T WANT TO DIE FOR THIS MYSTERY HYUNDAI ENGINE ISSUE. *TR

I DROVE TO WORK (45 MILES) PARKED AND WENT INTO MY OFFICE. I CAME OUT APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES LATER TO GET MY BRIEFCASE AND MY CAR WAS SMOKING UNDER THE HOOD AND THE ENGINE IGNITED. THE CAR WAS PARKED , LOCKED AND A FIRE STARTED ON THE ENGINE.I HAVE MULTIPLE WITNESS AND THE COLUMBIA FIRE DEPT. *TR

CAR HYDROPLANED ON INTERSTATE CAUSING CAR TO SLIDE INTO CONCRETE GUARD RAIL. AIR BAGS DEPLOYED IN DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS. SOMETHING HIT PASSENGER IN FACE WHEN DEPLOYMENT HAPPENED CAUSING FACIAL LACERATIONS AND A FRACTURE TO THE FOREHEAD WHICH ENDED UP BEING A DEPRESSED FRACTURE THROUGH THE FRONTAL SINUS CAVITY. PASSENGER HAD TO BE TAKEN TO HOSPITAL FOR CT SCANS AND CLOSURES OF LACERATIONS. THE SURGEON SAID THE BONE LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE HIT IT WITH A BALL PEN HAMMER PERFECTLY ROUND SHATTERED.*DT*JB*DT CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT.*JB *TR

THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A STREET. IT KEPT JUMPING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, THE STEERING WHEEL GOT REALLY HARD TO MOVE. IT MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I TRY TO TURN IT ON, WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR WHITE SMOKE THAT SMELLS REALLY STRONG STARTS COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST AND THE CAR WON'T DRIVE, IF I PUT IT ON DRIVE IT JUMPS A LOT AND TURNS OFF BY ITSELF. I HAVE READ AN ARTICLE IN WHICH MANY USERS OF THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA FROM THE YEARS 2011 TO 2015 HAVE THIS SAME MOTOR ISSUES. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THE ENGINE. EVEN BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS REALLY ROUGH, ITS NOT SMOOTH ITS NOT EASY TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A U- TURN OR TURNING ON A STREET, I HAVE TO PULL REALLY HARD TO MAKE TURNS, I DON'T THINK THIS IS SAFE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE ROADWAY, A REVVED THE ENGINE A BIT TO GET OVER A SMALL HILL, AND HEARD LOUD FAN LIKE NOISES, SPUTTERING, AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON. NO SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE CAR, IT LITERALLY SPUTTERED TO A STOP. I TRIED TO START IT, IT TURNED OVER ONCE AND THAT WAS IT. TRIED HOOKING CABLES TO JUMP IT, EVEN BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY. AFTER CHANGING SPARK PLUGS, IT WAS DETERMINED ONE BLEW. WE TRIED TO REPLACE, SAME THING HAPPENED, THE ENGINE IS SHOT, THE DEALER IS CLAIMING $7,000 TO FIX THIS, AND I'M SEEING THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE, NOT JUST ME. I WORK FOR PENNDOT MAINTENANCE, SO I'M ON TOP OF MAINTAINING, OIL, FILTERS, CHECK UPS. TIRES WERE A BIT LOW, BUT NEXT ON MY LIST. I NEED HELP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO GEAR WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. ADDITIONALLY, AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT BECAME AWARE THAT THE TAIL LAMPS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. O'BRIEN AUTO PARK (2850 COLONIAL BLVD, FORT MYERS, FL 33966) WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V769000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.*DT *LN THE CONSUMER STATED A PAD FELL OUT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. WITHOUT THE PAD, THE TRANSMISSION COULD BE SHIFTED INTO GEAR WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS ALSO CAUSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED. *JS CONSUMER STATED DEALER REFUSED TO MAKE REPAIRS ON THE RECALL.*JB

THE CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF NUMEROUS TIMES. THE PANEL DID NOT SHOW ANY CODES - NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS LIGHTING. EVENTUALLY THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE, AND THE CAR STOPPED MORE FREQUENTLY IN CITY/STREET DRIVING AND ON THE CHICAGO EDENS HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR, WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARING.THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO MULTIPLE AUTO MECHANICS FOR THE PURPOSE OF RECEIVING MULTIPLE OPINIONS, THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP MECHANICS TOLD US WE NEEDED TO CHANGE THE ENGINE - WITH NO SOLID REASONING OR INCREMENTAL EVIDENCE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A) TRULY, AN ENGINE MECHANICS OR OTHER RELATED OPERATING ISSUE OR 2) SERIOUS ENOUGH PROBLEM TO REQUIRE AN ENTIRE ENGINE OVERHAUL. WHEN CONTACTING HYUNDAI AMERICA, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO ACCEPT THE FACTS OF WHICH ARE A VERY SERIOUS, IMMANENT MANUFACTURER CONCERN, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, CONSUMER CONFIDENCE AND SAFETY CONCERN. THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. WE HAVE ENTIRE REASON TO BELIEVE BASED ON OUR FACTUAL INFORMATION THAT HYUNDAI IS PRESENTING DISHONEST AND POTENTIALLY HARMFUL INFORMATION TO THEIR CUSTOMERS, FROM THE VEHICLE'S LACK OF SAFETY NOTIFICATION AND IMPROPER RESPONSE IN HANDLING THE SITUATION WITH THE CONSUMER. I TALKED WITH THE HYUNDAI CASE MANAGER. THEIR SYSTEM HAS MY INFO AND MY CAR INFO, AND OUR CONVERSATION. I HAD INFORMED CASE MANAGER, THAT I'M GOING TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO NHTSA AGAINST HYUNDAI POOR PERFORMANCE AND ISSUE RESOLUTION. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND YOUR INVESTIGATION. *LN *JS

BOUGHT MY ELANTRA GT HATCHBACK 4 YEARS AGO WITH 34K MILES USED, GOOD CONDITION! I HAD A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA PRIOR AND LOVED IT SO WHY NOT I THOUGHT. I HAVE KEPT UP WITH MY OIL CHANGES, TIRE ROTATIONS, NEW TIRES ETC RECENTLY THIS YEAR MY CAR STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE, WE FIGURED IT MIGHT BE THE OIL SO I REPLACED IT, BUT WANTED STILL THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IT OUT. ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP THE CAR'S ENGINE LIGHT KEPT FLASHING, THEN WHEN I PULLED OVER THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE BATTERY LIGHT, THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, SO I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CALLED AND SAID I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE BASICALLY, SOMETHING RELATED TO THE CYLINDERS ETC. I AM TRYING ALL AVENUES TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE CAR FIXED AND OUT OF MY HANDS, UNFORTUNATELY I AM NOT BUYING HYUNDAI AGAIN, ESPECIALLY SINCE READING THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND HYUNDAI STILL REFUSES TO ADD THIS MODEL TO THEIR SONATA AND SANTA FE RECALL, RIDICULOUS. SORRY HYUNDAI YOU HAVE LOST MY BUSINESS SINCE YOU REFUSE TO TAKE UP RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR MISTAKES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED ABNORMALLY ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB BAKER HYUNDAI LOCATED AT (5285 CAR COUNTRY DR, CARLSBAD, CA 92008) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED. A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,000. *BF*JB

MY CAR IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND I NOTICED THE SHIFT STARTED TO GET STUCK HERE AND THERE. WITHIN A COUPLE DAYS AND VERY LITTLE DRIVING, I GOT STUCK AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T SHIFT AT ALL. IT ONLY HAS 31,000 MILES SO I DIDN'T THINK IT COULD BE THE CLUTCH. AFTER 2.5 WEEKS AT THE DEALER, THEY SAID IT'S NOT A RECALL BUT IS A HYUNDAI "ALERT", COVERED BY WARRANTY AND THAT THERE'S A DEFECT THAT ALLOWS DEBRIS IN WHICH JAMS THE SHIFT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REMOVED, THE SHIFTER CLEANED UP AND A PATCH KIT PUT IN TO KEEP IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. WITHIN A COUPLE DAYS AND LESS THAN 20 MILES, I LOST ALL ABILITY TO SHIFT AND THE CAR WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. IT STARTED AGGRESSIVELY JUMPING FORWARD AND BACK WITH NO CONTROL. I WAS STOPPED BY A CURB. THIS WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND I COULD HAVE HIT A PERSON! IT WOULD NO LONGER START GOT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND I'M AWAITING AN ANSWER.

AFTER REACHING APPROX. 60,000 MILES MY ENGINE DEVELOPED A SLIGHT TICKING NOISE. I'VE MAINTAINED REGULAR OIL CHANGES, ROTATIONS AND OTHER GENERAL MAINTENANCE ALONG WITH ENSURE MY CAR SELDOM IF EVER HITS EMPTY. IN THE PAST FEW YEARS OF OWNING THE CAR, I'VE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE START UP. I CONTRIBUTED THIS TO THE COLD WEATHER OF CHICAGO. AS THE TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN RATHER FAIR LATELY, I'VE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WHERE IT WONT START INITIALLY. TODAY, MY ENGINE DIED TWICE WHILE IN TRAFFIC WITH NO WARNING, NO SOUNDS OR ANYTHING. I WAS ABLE TO START IT UP JUST FINE TODAY AND AFTER EACH STALL BUT AM MORE CONCERNED OF A LARGER ISSUE. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH A NUMBER OF HYUNDAI VEHICLES IN THE 2014 CLASS ALONG WITH A NUMBER OF ELANTRAS.MY ISSUE OCCURED WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREETS.

WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVER 45 MPH THE STEERING FEELS AS IF IT "LOCKS" IN THE CENTER POSITION DRIVING STRAIGHT. NOT THAT IT IS STIFFER TO TO TURN BUT "LOCKS' IN THE CENTER POSITION. YOU MUST USE MORE FORCE TO GET PAST THIS "LOCK" OR NULL POSITION. THIS IS NOT SPEED SENSITIVE STEERING! THIS SEEMS ONLY TO HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT AND TRYING TO MAKE SMALL INPUT STEERING CORRECTIONS. WHEN USING MORE FORCE TO GET PAST THE LOCK POSITION YOU CAN TEND TO OVER STEER, WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS. *JS

THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON WHEN YOUR FOOT IS OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. SIMILAR TO THE RECALL # 170. HOWEVER THIS MODEL DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE RE-CALL.

ENGINE FAILED ON INTERSTATE AT 55MPH. A ROD HAD PIERCED A CYLINDER LEAVING ENGINE RUINED.

MY CAR STARTED MAKING A RATTLING NOISE IN THE ENGINE. IT THEN STALLED WHEN I CAME TO A STOP. I WAS ON A SIDE STREET AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT, BUT EVERY TIME I CAME TO A STOP OR SLOWED DOWN IT WOULD STALL. I WAS LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY EVERY TIME IT STALLED (IT STALLED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE 2 DAYS BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO THE MECHANIC) I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A MECHANIC AND THEY TOLD ME I NEED A NEW ENGINE. MY CAR HAS 57714 MILES ON IT AND IS REGULARLY MAINTAINED. I CALLED A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME SINCE I WAS THE SECOND OWNER THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE WARRANTY I PURCHASED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR WILL COVER HALF THE COST OF A NEW ENGINE.

MY VEHICLE WAS INVOLVE IN A REAR END COLLISION, WHERE I WAS PUSHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME , I HAVE SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR OF MY CAR.I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. MY CAR CRUNCHED LIKE A TIN CAN, AND IS A TOTAL LOSS. I HIT MY HEAD, MY WRIST, AND MY BACK IS HURT. MY AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED, NOT ONE OF THEM. I CANT SEND PICTURES NOW THEY ARE ON MY PHONE.

AROUND 9/14/19, MY ENGINE STARTING RATTLING (HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=8NKOF1BPU2E&FEATURE=YOUTU.BE). I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT, AND THEY OBSERVED NOTHING WRONG. SO, I WANTED A SECOND OPINION FROM HYUNDAI DIRECTLY AND GOT AN APPOINTMENT FOR 9/25/19. THE ENGINE DIED ON 9/23/19 WHEN I WAS COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE ENGINE TOED TO HYUNDAI AND THEY SAID THE ENGINE FAILED AND WOULD BE $7500 TO REPLACE. I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE OF MY CAR AND REGULARLY GOT THE OIL CHANGED. THE ORIGINAL MECHANIC CLAIMED NO RESPONSIBILITY WHEN I TRIED TO FILE A CLAIM THROUGH THEM. HYUNDAI ALSO CLAIMED NO RESPONSIBILITY WHEN I FILED A CLAIM THROUGH THEM AS WELL.

MY DEALER WERNER HYUNDAI IN TALLAHASSEE DID THE RECALL ON MY CAR (HAVE RECEIPT), BUT THE RECEIPT HAVE THE WRONG VEHICLE/VIN ([XXX]) WHICH MAKES THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE ([XXX]) AS INCOMPLETE. CALL THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES TO CORRECT BUT THEY NEVER DID. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY PASSENGER LIGHT WOULD NOT COME ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO GET LOOKED AT AND THE MECHANIC EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE WIRING IN THE LIGHT CAP HAS TO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 8E JUST BEFORE PINE VALLEY, IN LANE ONE, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN MAKING A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE. A MOMENT LATER, THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON, THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THEN THE CAR STALLED AND COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. LUCKILY, AS SOON AS THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE CAR STALLED WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE RIGHT HAND SHOULDER. ONCE THERE WE TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FRANK HYUNDAI. YESTERDAY WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE IS SEIZED AND REQUIRES A NEW ENGINE. I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 2 YRS AND IT ONLY HAS 87,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON THE ENGINE SHOULD HAVE SEIZED SUDDENLY AS IT DID. ALL VEHICLE FLUIDS WERE CHECKED AND OPERATIONAL SAFETY CHECKS WERE PERFORMED AND WERE GOOD PRIOR TO OUR TRIP. WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE NOT BEEN HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS OCCURRING IN OTHER ELANTRAS OF MY SAME YEAR IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER HYUNDAI VEHICLES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED. IT MY URGENT REQUEST THAT THIS BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET INJURED OR KILLED. I ALSO REQUEST THAT HYUNDAI INCLUED THE ELANTRAS WITH SAME THE AFFECTED YEARS OF THE SONATA AND SANTA FE'S, SUCH AS MY 2014 BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH A DRIVER OF A VEHICLE MAKING AN ILLEGAL LEFT HAND TURN WHICH TOTALLED THE VEHICLE AND LED TO INJURIES WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. THE BRAKES DID NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY TO STOP THE VEHICLE.

WHILE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT I SMELLED AN ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. ONCE AT THE RED LIGHT I SAW SMOKE AND IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. I PULLED OVER AND EXITED THE VEHICLE TO SEE THAT THE 3RD TAIL LIGHT WAS SMOKING. I WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. I REMOVED THE LIGHT CASING AND SECURED THE WIRING. ON MY WAY TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP, MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON MY DASHBOARD. THE WIRING FOR THIS 3RD TAIL LIGHT RUNS ALONG THE GAS TANK ENTRANCE AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN EXPLOSION. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL #13V113000 AND THAT MY REPAIRS WOULD BE OUT-OF-POCKET.

AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A SIGNIFICANT KNOCKING SOUND. I PULLED OVER AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY PERFORMED AN ENGINE DIAGNOSIS AND REMOVED THE OIL PAN TO FIND A LOT OF METAL FLAKES. I WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE (ENGINE WOULD LIKELY SEIZE) AND INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 85,000 MILES ON IT, AND THE REPAIR QUOTES ARE $6,500-8,500, WHICH IS ALMOST WHAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORTH BEFORE THE ENGINE FAILURE. NEITHER THE MANUFACTURER OR THE DEALER WOULD PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TOWARDS REPAIR DUE TO ME BEING THE SECOND OWNER. SINCE TAKING OWNERSHIP AT APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES I HAVE HAD EVERY RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BY THE DEALER. NO INDICATION WAS EVER GIVEN TO ME ABOUT THERE BEING METAL IN THE OIL PAN OR ANY POTENTIAL PROBLEM ARISING. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT THESE ENGINES HAVE A HIGH FAILURE RATE, AND THE MANUFACTURER FIGHTS TOOTH-AND-NAIL TO AVOID ACKNOWLEDGING A PROBLEM OR ASSISTING WITH REPAIR COSTS FOR SECOND OWNERS -- EVEN IF WELL UNDER THE 100,000-MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY PROVIDED TO ORIGINAL OWNERS.

SINCE I BOUGHT MY 2014 HYUNDAI ELANYRA IT HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH LEAKING WATER TO THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE. APPARENTLY IT'S A LEAK FROM THE AC HOSE AND IT'S CLOGGED? NOW MY FLOOR IS WEAK AND IT IS ROTTING OUT DUE TO THE WATER DAMAGE. I'VE HAD IT REPAIRED BUT IT CONTINUES TO LEAK AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS OF BEING FIXED! I'VE HAD ENOUGH!!! THE WATER ONLY FLOWS WHEN ITS MOVING AROUND ANY CORNER... NO ONE CAN SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT BECAUSE THEY GET A SHOWER EVERY FEW SECONDS!!!

BRAKE PEDAL STOP PAD BROKE, PIECES FOUND ON THE FLOOR BOARD. TRACTION ON THE 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WAS TURNED ON AND MADE THE CAR DIFFICULT TO BRAKE AND STOP. BRAKE LIGHTS STAYED ON COMPLETELY ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. PARTS ARE NOT SOLD IN PART STORE FOR REPLACING.

HYNDAI DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED ON MULTIPLE OCCASION'S TO PERFORM THE RECALL AT A TIME THAT IS AT ALL POSSIBLE. I GAVE THEM MANY OPPERTUNITIES TO FIX THEIR MISTAKE AT TIMES I CAN BRING THE CAR TO THEM AND GHEY ARE REFUSING. THEY HAVE EVEN REUSED EVERYDAY UNTIL SEPT 30. AND ANY WEEKEND AFTER THAT OR AFTER 7 PM.

I PURCHASED A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT BRAND NEW. ADMITTEDLY I PUT A LOT OF MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND IT HAD 121000 MILES. HOWEVER, I ALWAYS KEPT UP ON MY MAINTENANCE AND ALWAYS USED SYNTHETIC OIL SINCE THE FIRST OIL CHANGE. AFTER GETTING AN OIL CHANGE I WAS ABOUT 3 MILES FROM THE FACILITY AND MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST RPM AND THE SPEED DECREASED. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF. NO LIGHTS CAME ON, NOT ENGINE OR OIL. I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON AND SUDDENLY THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A RATTLING NOISE. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY LOCAL GARAGE. THAT MECHANIC SAID HE THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN. I THEN HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DICKSON CITY HYUNDAI. THERE, THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. I BEGAN SPEAKING WITH A REPRESENTATIVE FROM HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE. I ENDED UP HAVING TO PAY HALF OF THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT AND LABOR COSTS. MY PORTION WAS $3250. THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS THAT A VEHICLE ALWAYS MAINTAINED WOULD HAVE THE ENGINE GONE A MONTH BEFORE THE FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF PURCHASING IT. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HYUNDAI IN MY LIFE.

HATCH DOOR RECALL. ON HOT DAYS THE REAR SPOILER ON THE HATCH DOOR SWELLS AND AS A RESULT IT WILL STICK AND JAM PREVENTING THE REAR HATCH FROM OPENING. THE JAMMING CAUSED THE BODY TO DENT AND CHIP THE PAINT, THIS COULD RESULT IN FUTURE PRE-MATURE RUSTING OF THE BODY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND ONLY ACCELERATED TO 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE ALSO STALLED WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE MECHANIC CLEANED ALL THE SENSORS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,532.

BOUGHT BRAND NEW, ORIGINAL OWNER WARRANTY VERIFIED AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE AT 5K INTERVALS INSTEAD OF 7500 MILES DUE TO BURNING OIL WITHIN FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED OPPORTUNITIES TO INSPECT AND REPAIR FOR OTHER WARRANTABLE DEFECTS IN BACKUP CAMARA, SUNROOF, ETC. CAR OUT OF SERVICE SINCE 3-28-19, AT 55000 MILES CLUTCH ASSEMBLY RIVETS DETACHED AND POWERTRAIN FAILED CAUSING A CRACKED ROD. CAR WAS PRESENTED TO DEALER. DEALER REFUSED. HYUNDAI ASSURANCE REFUSED TOW TO NEXT DEALER WITHOUT UPFRONT PAYMENT. CAR WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL AAMCO WHERE DEFECTIVE RIVETS WERE DIAGNOSED. OEM CLUTCH WAS RETAINED FOR EVIDENCE. CAR WAS EXAMINED BY SECOND ASE TECHNICIAN, CAR WAS DEEMED HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE AND COULD CAUSE FIRE IF ROD BROKE AND PUNCTURED ENGINE WALL DUE TO DIRECT INJECTION SYSTEM. COSTS FOR REPAIR/RENTAL/TOW APPROACHED 15000, SO RENTAL WAS TURNED IN AND ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION WHILE ARBITRATING COMPLAINT. ITS ONLY VEHICLE SINGLE PARENT AND WARRANTY COVERS REPAIR/TOW/RENTAL, BUT HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND DEALER HAVE YET TO PROVIDE ANY REMEDY (STILL AS OF 7-17-19) PER CFR RULE 703 OR MAGNUSSON-MOSS ACT CLAIM WITH BBB AUTOLINE WAS FILED CERTIFIED MAIL ON 5-15-19. BBB MEDIATOR FAKED PHONE CALL AGREEMENT AND PERJURED SETTLEMENT LETTER. OFFER WAS NEVER ACCEPTED BECAUSE NEITHER HYUNDAI NOR BBB ARE FOLLOWING RULE 703 PROCEDURES AND DID NOT COMPLETE RESPONSE FORM. INSTEAD BBB ASSIGNED A SPECIALIST TO PERSONALLY ATTACK AND INTERROGATE ATTEMPTIN

CAR JUST STOPPED AND I RECEIVED A CALL AND THEY SAID THE ENGINE IS OUT!

VEHICLE AIR BAGS SYSTEMS JUST WENT OUT. ALSO MY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM ISN'T WORKING EITHER

2014 ELANTRA DRIVING THE CAR IN TOWN AT SLOW SPEEDS, USUALLY AROUND 15-25 MILES AN HOUR, WITH RPMS AT ABOUT 1250. FIRST NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH EXTREMELY JERKY DRIVING, BUT ADDED GAS AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A ONE-TIME THING. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I SET AN APPOINTMENT TO THE MURDOCK HYUNDAI OF MURRAY UTAH TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE THAT WAS PUTTING MY FAMILY AND MY SECURITY IN RISK. ON JUNE 18TH AROUND 6 PM, THE DID A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK IN THE DEALERSHIP AND THEN, THEY RECOMMENDED ME TO CLEAN MY GAS INJECTORS, TO DO A TUNE-UP, TO DO AN ALIGNMENT AND TO ADD NEW FOUR TIRES CHANGE SINCE THEY WERE TOTALLY DAMAGED., SOME KIND OF HYUNDAI SOLVENT CLEANERS FOR THE GAS ENGINE. ALL OF THE SERVICES HAD A TOTAL OF $1043 DOLLARS. I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL IT NEEDED BUT NOT IT WAS NOT. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE CAR STARTED TO HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS BEFORE, LOSING POWER AGAIN, ENGINE SLOWING DOWN AND BAD GAS MILEAGE... I SET UP ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP.

ENGINE SEIZED

WHENEVER I USE THE AIR CONDITIONER OR VENTILATION THERE'S AN OVERWHELMING SMEL OF MOLD. THIS OCCURS IN STATIONARY AND WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2017. THE DEALER PASSED IT FOR STATE INSPECTION,AFTER. A DAY NOTICED A RUMBLE IN FRONT END. BROUGHT TO DEALER, WAS TOLD BRAKE ROTORS WERE WARPED. THEY REPLACED ROTORS. PROBLEM SOLVED. TWO YEARS LATER WENT FOR STATE INSPECTION AND ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS ARE WORN OUT. THIS WOULD INDICATE AN OVER HEATING OF BRAKES. HOT BREAKS WILL CAUSE LOSS OF BRAKES OR TAKE LONGER TO STOP. THIS WOULD ALSO EXPLAIN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT BRAKES,AND WHY IT CAN'T BE DUPLICATED WHEN TESTED BY MECHANICS THEY DON'T DRIVE IT LONG ENOUGH.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA IT STARTED TO SLOW DOWN, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ONE ALONG WITH THE A FLASHING OIL LIGHT. I FOUND IT FUNNY BECAUSE I HAD JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGED 1 WEEK BEFORE. THE NEXT THING I KNEW THE CAR JUST STOPPED MID DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY.. I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY CHECKED EVERYTHING OUT AND I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. I DON'T SEE HOW WHEN I KEEP MY MATIENCE UP ON MY CAR. BUT AS I LOOK UP THINGS ON THE INTERNET I SEE THE 2014 ELANTRA IS GIVING ALOT OF PEOPLE PROBLEMS WHEN IT COMES TO THE ENGINE. AND I AM NOT SURE WHY HYUNDAI HAS NOT DONE A RECALL ON THE ENGINES HERE IN THE US BUT HAVE DONE SO IN CANDA AND OVERSEAS. I AM A MEDICAL RETIRED SERVICE MEMBER AND ON A FIXED INCOME. SO PAYING 1000S OF DOLLARS FOR A NEW ENGINE IS NOT IN MY BUDGET. NOR BUYING A NEW CAR ... HYUNDAI HAS BEEN GREAT WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE THUS FAR BUT NOW I AM FRUSTRATED AND SICK TO MY STOMACH WITH THE WAY I HAVE BEEN TREATED. THANK YOU FOR NOTHING...

THE MOTOR STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE VERY FAINT AT FIRST THEN OVER TIME IT GOT LOUDER THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED THE CAR. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT NEEDED A TEAR DOWN TO DETERMINE IF THE CAR NEEDED A NEW ENGINE THEY DID THAT, THEN WE WERE TOLD SINCE WE WERE LOYAL CUSTOMERS HAD PURCHASED 3 CARS FROM MASSEY AND IT HAD 104,000 MILES 4 THOUSAND OVER WARRANTY THAT HYUNDAI WOULD PROBABLY COVER PART OR ALL OF THE COST! WE WERE TOLD THAT IF HYUNDAI DIDN'T COVER THE COST THAT IT WOULD COST US A COUPLE OF THOUSAND DOLLARS!...SO WE TOLD THEM TO FIX THE CAR HYUNDAI WAS GOING TO COVER SOME OF THE COST DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH THOUGH! WE WERE NEVER TOLD...AND WE'VE NEVER BEEN TOLD HOW MUCH HYUNDAI COVERED. THE CAR NEEDED A FEW MINOR REPAIRS LIKE THE SERPENTINE BELT WHICH WE NEEDED TO PAY FOR BUT WE ENDED UP PAYING $2300.00 DOLLARS WE HAVE TALKED TO OTHER HYUNDAI OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR ENGINES JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS FOR THE ENGINE?

WHEN WE DRIVE THE CAR THE STEERING WHEEL WILL STICK OR SEEM TO CATCH ON SOMETHING WHICH MAKES IT VERY HARD TO DRIVE STRAIGHT AND NOT ALL OVER THE RD LIKE WERE DRUNK. IT DOESN'T DO IT IF YOU ARE TURNING. ONLY WHEN YOU DRIVE STRAIGHT. IT HAS DEFINITELY ALMOST CAUSED SOME ACCIDENTS, AND ALSO TICKETS TOO! I WOULD THINK THAT THE STEERING WOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE AND I MOST DEFINITELY THINK HYUNDAI WOULD WANT TO MAKE THEIR CARE OWNERS THEIR PRIORITY SINCE WE ARE DRIVING THEIR NAME AND REPUTATION. I MOST DEFINITELY WANT TO BELIEVE THAT MY LIFE AND SAFETY OF MYSELF BUT ALSO MY KIDS AND HUSBAND AS WELL! THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS.

WHEN I START MY CAR ON A DAILY BASIS IT WORKS PERFECTLY FINE. SUDDENLY ILL GO OUT TO START MY CAR AND ITS NOT STARTING AFTER REPLACING THE CAMSHAFT SENSORS, BATTERY, STARTER AND MORE. IVE GOT MY CAR PUT ON THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS AT THE ACTUAL DEALERSHIP AND THERE IS NOTHING SHOWN. IVE HAD MY CAR TOWED TWO TIMES TO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND IVE MANAGED TO FIND THE ISSUE WHICH AFTER REASEARCHING AS WELL THAT THE "RANGE SWITCH" COULD BE THE PROBLEM OR "SHIFT INTERLOCK". SOMETIMES IT WILL START AND SOMETIMES IT WONT START AT TIMES UNTIL I HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED THESE LAST COUPLE OF TIMES. THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE WITH MY EVERYDAY LIFE GETTING BACK AND FORTH TO WORK AND WITH A CHILD! ITS STRESSFUL! IT DOESN'T MATTER IF ITS HOT OR COLD OUTSIDE THE CAR WILL NOT START CERTAIN TIMES OF THE YEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT 15 MPH, THE ENGINE STARTED TO STALL AND HESITATED UNTIL IT CEASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NAPLETON'S AUTO PARK OF URBANA (LOCATED AT 1111 NAPLETON WAY, URBANA, IL 61802, (217) 367-1222) WHO STATED THAT DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,500. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA THAT NOW HAS 72,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER EXPERIENCING RECENT ISSUES WITHIN THE ENGINE OF THIS VEHICLE, I TOOK IT TO DAVE HALLMAN HYUNDAI IN ERIE, PA WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT. IT WAS ALSO DECIDED THAT I WOULD PAY THE COSTS OF THE LABOR, WHICH TOTALS $2,345. DURING THIS EXPERIENCE I HAVE FOUND THAT HYUNDAI SONATAS, SANTE FES, AND ELANTRAS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. AS A MATTER OF FACT, WHEN I INITIALLY TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, EMPLOYEES WERE ALSO WORKING ON A SANTA FE THAT HAD EXPERIENCED ENGINE FAILURE, LEADING ME TO QUESTION THE QUALITY OF THESE VEHICLES WHEN THE ISSUE IS SO PROMINENT. IN THE PAST 4 YEARS I HAVE BOUGHT TWO VEHICLES FROM HYUNDAI, BUT FOR REASONS BEYOND MY CONTROL, HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FIRST AND NOW POTENTIALLY THE SECOND. MOREOVER, I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR FOUR WEEKS NOW. I WAS INFORMED A CASE MANAGER COULD ASSIST ME, BUT OF THE MULTIPLE HYUNDAI REPRESENTATIVES, NONE WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE EVEN A PHONE NUMBER. EIGHT DAYS AFTER REPRESENTATIVES TOLD ME THE CASE HAD BEEN SUBMITTED, THE CASE MANAGER CONTACTED ME ONLY TO TELL ME HE COULD OFFER NO ASSISTANCE. I WAS NOT INFORMED MY CASE WOULD BE DEEMED VOID IN TWO DAYS, BUT JUST HAPPENED TO CALL AND CHECK. I UNDERSTAND HYUNDAI MAINTAINS POLICIES AROUND THE SERVICE THAT CAN AND CANNOT BE PROVIDED TO SECOND OWNERS. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT AS A SECOND OWNER, MY VEHICLE'S WARRANTY WOULD

THIS IS NOW THE THIRD TIME THAT MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY CUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING AND IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS THERE IS ALWAYS A BURNING SMELL COMING THROUGH THE VENTS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AT ALL. HYUNDAI DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS AT ALL.

ENGINE KNOCKING STARTED AT 60,000 MILES. THE RODS ARE KNOCKING, AND METAL SHAVINGS FOUND IN OIL PAN.

MY WIFE WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO WORK, AND SHE REAR-ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER. WE WENT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP NEARBY AND THEY TESTED IT FOR TWO DAYS AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. ON ONE OF THEIR TESTS THE ENGINE DIED AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED BUT THEY HAD NOT YET HOOKED UP THE DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT SO THEY NEVER CAPTURED THE SOURCE OF THAT FAILURE. ALL OTHER TIMES THE BREAKS AND THE ENGINE WORKED FINE. THE RESULT WAS THAT THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND MADE AN ABNORMAL TICKING NOISE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000. *TR

MOTOR JUST STARTED KNOCKING.

THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN YOU TRY TO TURN INTO A CURVE YOU HAVE TO BE VERY FORCEFUL WITH TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH LEADS TO EITHER ENDING UP IN THE OTHER LANE OR IN THE DITCH. THIS IS A SAFETY RISK AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THIS IS NOT JUST HAPPENING WITH MY CAR, ITS HAPPENING WITH SEVERAL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM FURTHER BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED
