2016 Hyundai Elantra complaints

AIRBAG IN DRIVER SEAT IS BULGING INSIDE THE SEAT MAKING THE SEAT UNCOMFORTABLE AND UNSAFE. IT JUST HAPPENED FROM USE OF THE CAR SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT.

POWER STERRUNG LIGHT KEEP COMING OFF AND ON. 1 WEEK I CAN DRIVE IT WITH NO PROBLEMS AND THE NEXT WEEK I I CAN'T. WHEN I DRIVE THE MY WHEEL FEELS LIKE IT WILL LOCK ON ME. SO I AVOID DRIVING IT ANYWHERE. I DONT WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO ME WHILE IM DRIVING THE VEHICLE

THE CAR DOES NOT TURN OVER WHEN YOU INITIALLY START CAR YOU HAVE TO TURN THE KEY BACK AND TRY STARTING AGAIN IT HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY DOING THIS FOR OVER A YEAR AND NO MECHANIC CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. OTHER THAN THAT THERE IS NO ISSUES WITH THE DRIVING.

WHEN I ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR THE ENGINE TURNS BUT WON'T TURN OVER. THE CAR DOES THIS MORE OFTEN IN VERY COLD WEATHER. EVEN IN WARM WEATHER IT WILL START SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO TRY MULTIPLE TIMES AND SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT START AT ALL. THERE ARE NO CHECK ENGINE OR OTHER INDICATORS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR. THE ONLY OTHER THING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I NORMALLY EXPECT IS THAT SOMETIMES THE WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE IN A TIMELY MANNER. THERE IS A BIT OF A HESITATION AS IF THE FUEL OUTPUT IS NOT INCREASING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE I'M ALREADY DRIVING (FOR EXAMPLE WHEN I'M GOING FROM THE ACCESS ROAD AND ENTERING THE HIGHWAY OR WHEN THERE IS A SPEED LIMIT INCREASE OF SOME KIND). I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THE PART AFFECTED IS CONNECTED TO OTHER SYSTEMS IN THE CAR THAT HAVE AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT SUCH AS THE FUEL PUMP.

THE RED LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE PURCHASE AND HYUDAI SERVICE HAS BEEN SAYING IT IS NOTHING BRUSHING IT OFF. I

CAR PURCHASE BRAND NEW FROM DOTHAN HYUNDAI. NOTICED REDLIGHT LOOKED LIKE BABY IN A SEATBELTS. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND TOLD IT WAS NOTHING. HD CAR SERVICES AT HYUNDAI IN ALBANY GA AND TOLD IT WAS NOTHING.. HAD LIGHT LOOKED AT BY ANOTHER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS AIR BAG NOT FUNCTIONING AND IF I WAS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT MY AIR BAG WOULD NOT WORK.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY STOP AND WOULDN'T RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALER, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A CRANKSHAFT BEARING HAD FAILED. HYUNDAI NO LONGER MANUFACTURES THE ENGINE, SO NOW MY ONLY OPTION IS A USED MOTOR WITH 60,000 MILES. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW LESS THAN THREE YEARS AGO.

ENGINE TICKING SOUND , WHEN STARTING, VEHICLE AT 125,000 MILES WHEN FIRST HAPPENED. PERFECT MAINTENANCE, AS CAR WAS USED AS PROFESSIONAL SALES VEHICLE.

HI... I OWN 11 ELANTRA'S. 4-2013, 3-2016, 2-2018, 1-2019, 1-2020. I OWN A DRIVING SCHOOL. THEY ALL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BURNING OUT LIGHT BULBS, HEADLIGHTS ,SIDE MARKERS AND TAIL LIGHTS. I AM REPLACING BULBS 2 TO 3 TIMES A WEEK. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE SOCKETS BECAUSE THEY MELTED. THE PLASTIC HOLDERS FOR THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE CENTER BRAKE LIGHT ALSO MELTED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A REMEDY FOR THIS OR ONE IN THE PROCESS. I ALSO HAVE A COMPLAINT ON WHY IT SO DIFFICULT TO REMOVE THE HEADLIGHT BULBS.

THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMERUS TIMES, WHETHER ON HIGHWAY'S OR CITY STREETS. DRIVING THE CAR YOU WILL FEEL IT LURCH FORWARD ACCELERATING SUDDENLY AND THEN RETURN TO NORMAL DRIVING. THE RPMS WILL BE AT 4000 TO 5000 EACH TIME. THE OTHER DAY ON THE WAY HOME FROM A FAMILY CHRISTMAS PARTY WITH MY 2 GIRLS AND HUSBAND, I HAD THE CRUSE CONTROL SET. IT SUDDENLY REVVED UP TO 4000 RPMS ON A CURVED HILLY ROAD. THIS HAPPENED AT 1AM. NO OTHER CARS WHERE AROUND. MY THEN 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR TO GET HER DRIVERS LICENSE IT DID IT WITH THE INSTRUCTOR IN THE CAR. THE INSTRUCTOR HAS HER STOP AND GET ANOTHER CAR FOR THE TEST. SHE SAID THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND COULD NOT CONTINUE THE TEST. WE HAD ONLY HAD THE CAR AT THAT TIME FOR 6 MONTHS. WE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW WITH ONLY 6 MILES ON IT. I AM NOW SEEING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND SEVERAL OTHER OF HYUNDAI CAR MAKES AND MODULES ON THE INTERNET. JUST SEARCH HYUNDAI CARS SURGING WHILE DRIVING AND YOU CAN SEE FOR YOUR SELF. THEY MUST BE WAITING ON A FATALITY BEFORE THEY MAKE A RECALL.

NOTHING SO FAR. JOE 12/13/2019

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CRAIN HYUNDAI OF CONWAY (1003 N MUSEUM RD, CONWAY, AR 72032, (501) 470-7300) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. ON ONE OCCASION, WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED 50% OFF THE COST OF THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

I NOTICED THAT MY GAS MILEAGE WAS HORRIBLE SO I TOOK IT IN AND HAD THE OIL CHANGED AND A TUNE UP DONE. THEN IT CONTINUED TO RUN BAD AND THEN IT STARTED SHUTTING OFF. AFTER LIKE 1 WEEK MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID MY ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I TOOK IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THE ENGINE WAS. THE WORST PART ABOUT ALL THIS IS IT ONLY HAD 54,000 MILES ON IT.

ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, THE CAR WILL LURCH FORWARD WHEN PRESSING THE GAS, BUT NOT EQUAL TO THE DEPRESSION OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I BOUGHT THIS CAR 8 MONTHS AGO AND IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. ONE INCIDENT I BELIEVE WHEN THIS HAPPENED CAUSED ME TO DAMAGE PERSONAL PROPERTY.INWAS STOPPED BEHIND A CAR WAITING TO GET TO A GATE KEY PAD. WHEN I STARTED TO PULL FORWARD THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND I HIT THE KEY PAD, RAN OVER IT! THIS SUDDEN ACCELERATION IS NOT TYPICALLY A HAZARD WHEN ON THE OPEN ROAD, OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH A SOLID OBJECT IN FRONT OF ME.

STEERING IS QUITE TIGHT AT TIMES ON SLOW TURNS; HOWEVER, WHEN FULL SPEED 0-70, SEEMS THE POWER STEERING IS CUTTING OFF AND ON AND STICKING. GOING AROUND A CURVE CAUSES THE STEERING TO TIGHTEN UP AND IT TAKES MASSIVE EFFORT TO BRING IT BACK CENTER, AND SOMETIMES THIS CAUSES YOU TO OVER CORRECT WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT'S LIKE A STICKING SENSATION IN THE WHEEL, PULLING. TIRES ARE GOOD, ALIGNMENT IS AMAZING. NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY SENSE. ACCELERATION FROM 0-45, YOU HAVE TO PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO ACCELERATE WHICH IS A NEW ISSUES THAT SUDDENLY APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR MARCH OF 2019, AND HAVE ONLY OWNED IT FOR 7-MONTHS. I DO HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. *BF

2016 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. CONSUMER STATES THAT AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY DURING ACCIDENT. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIRBAG MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. *JS THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIRBAGS AND THE SEATBELT MAY NOT HAVE OPERATED AS DESIGNED A CRASH. *JS

THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE LOST OF POWER FROM THE ENGINE WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN FROM THE DEALER UNTIL THE PART ARRIVED. THE CAR HAD KNOCKING, ENGINE LIGHT/OIL CAME ON AS WELL AS HAD TO START AND RESTART THE ENGINE. I WAS LATER TOLD THE CAR HAD A MANUFACTURER DEFECTIVE ENGINE. THE CAR KNOCKS, ENGINE SOUNDS STRANGE. THE ENGINE WAS TO BE REPLACE AS A COURTESY BY HYUNDAI USA THE MANUFACTURER DUE TO MANUFACTURER ENGINE HAD RECENTLY EXPIRED ON THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE. THE CLAIMS REP FOR HYUNDAI USA SAID MY ENGINE WOULD BE COVERED LATER AFTER THE CLAIM WAS DENIED. THE DENIAL WAS BASED OF THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMS THE UPKEEP OF REPAIRS/MAINTENANCE WAS LACKING EVEN THOUGH MAINTENANCE WAS TRACKED. I ASSUMED MANUFACTURED DEFECT WAS BASED ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF HOW THE ENGINE WAS MADE. MY TRUST AND LOYALTY TO BUSINESSES ARE TRULY LACKING DUE TO THE FACT I PUT MY TRUST IN THE PROFESSIONALS LIKE THE DEALERSHIP, LIKE HYUNDAI USA IN PROVIDING A SAFE WELL MADE VEHICLE. THE CAR LOSES POWER AS THE VEHICLE INCREASE WITH HIGH SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY WITH SHAKING AND CLANKING SOUNDS A CLANKING CLANK CLANK NOISE. THE LOSS OF POWER GOING UP A HILL AND OR EMBANKMENT SAME SOUNDS MENTION BEFORE.

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED ON DASH

THERE IS ROUGH IDLING. SHAKES.

MY HYUNDAI ELANTRA HAS 82,700 MILES, MAINTAINED REGULARLY. AS OF YESTERDAY THE VEHICLE STALLS WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 45 MILES PER HOUR. PHONED HYUNDAI AND THEY SAY THE WARRANTY ONLY GOES UP TO 80,000 MILES. WE ARE TAKING IT IN TO HYUNDAI ON MONDAY TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. THE ENGINE SHOULD NOT STALL AT THIS MILEAGE.

VEHICLE HAS 115,000 MILES AND HAS HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE EVERY 4000-5000 MILES. DROVE THE CAR 376 MILES YESTERDAY AND CAMPED OVERNIGHT. NOT 30 MILES FROM LEAVING THE CAMPSITE THIS MORNING MY CAT STARTS HAVING PROBLEMS ACCELERATING UP HOLD AND KNOCKS WHEN THE ENGINE GOES OVER 2500RPMS. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS. I CONTINUE DRIVING TOWARD THE NEAREST AUTO SERVICE STATION (30 MILES) BUT THE CAR DOESN'T MAKE IT. GOING UP A HILL IT ACCELERATED LESS AND LESS UNTIL IT STOPPED AT WHICH POINT THE BATTERY AND OIL LIGHTS CAME ON. HAD THE CAR TOWED AND THE MECHANIC SAYS THE ENGINE IS LOCKED UP AND THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE VEHICLE AT ALL. HIS RECOMMENDATION IS A NEW ENGINE. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON UNTIL THE CAR DIED.

I WAS IN A DRIVE THRU AT A PHARMACY WHEN THE AIR STOPPED WORKING, CAR HAD 62,000 MILES TO DATE & UPON VEHICLE INSPECTION THE AIR COMPRESSOR WENT OUT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER ROOMMATE WAS AT AN INTERSECTION, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A CURB AND INTO A POLE. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED BACK AND NECK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS AT THE CRASH BUT NO REPORT WAS MADE. THE OTHER DRIVER HAD INJURY TO HER HEAD. THE POLICE TOWED THE VEHICLE TO A TOW AWAY LOT AT HELMS & HILL TOWING (649 S MAPLE AVE, MONTEBELLO, CA 90640 (323) 889-4900). THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE DAMAGES WERE UNKNOWN AT MOMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *DSY *JS *TR 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVE WAY. I PULLED THE SMALL HANDLE BY THE DRIVER SEAT TO OPEN THE TRUNK. NOW MY TRUNK WILL NOT LATCH. IT WANT CLOSE EVEN WITH THE BUTTON ON THE KEY PHOBE.

CAR DRIVE OVER BUMPS AND UNEVEN ROADS LIKE A BOAT IN BAD WAVES STEERING LOCKS UP LIKE NO POWER STEERING IT'S VERY DANGEROUS THEY REPLACED STEERING PARTS 2 TIME THIS HAPPENED AFTER DRIVING 40 TO 70 MILES AND GOING STRAIGHT HIGHWAYS AND IN TOWN

I AM TOLD I NEED TO HAVE MY ENGINE REPLACED. MY CAR HAD BEEN MAKING TICKING AND KNOCKING NOISES AS IF IT WAS STRUGGLING TO FUNCTION. THE DAY IT BROKE DOWN, IT WAS BEGINNING TO KNOCK EXCEPTIONALLY LOUD. I WAS AFRAID IT WAS GOING TO STALL WHILE DRIVING AS THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT STALLED AGAIN AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION. THEN WOULD NOT START AT ALL. I HAD TO ASK FOR HELP TO PUSH MY CAR TO A SAFE AREA. THIS HAPPENED ON A CITY STREETS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP BELIEVING IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE AT A COST OF ABOUT $8,000. IF I REPLACE THE ENGINE WITH THE SAME ENGINE, WHO'S TO SAY THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN? I BOUGHT THE HYUNDAI BECAUSE OF THE 10 YEAR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY KNOWING I'D BE PUTTING ON THE MILES FOR WORK. I DON'T EXPECT ENGINE FAILURE AT THE 78,800 MILES (I BOUGHT IT USED FROM ENTERPRISE CAR SALES WITH 18,000 MILES ON IT). THE SELLING POINT WAS THE 10 YEAR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY THAT I EXPECTED TO HAVE. I LEARNED IT DOES NOT PASS TO THE SECOND OWNER. WHY NOT? HOW DOES THE DRIVER CHANGE THE APPARENTLY DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING OF THE ENGINE?! AS I PRESSED ON WITH THE HYUNDAI REPRESENTATIVE, HE TOLD ME (AFTER CONSULTING WITH HIS SUPERVISOR) IT IS ONLY COVERED FOR A SECOND OWNER IF IT WAS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE. I SAID IT WAS CPO AND THAT IS HOW ENTERPRISE MARKETED THEIR VEHICLES. HYUNDAI THEN SAID THE OWNERSHIP FOR THE WARRANTY IS UNDER ALAMO/ENTERPRISE, NOT ME. NEWS TO ME,

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR WILL STALL WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I AM DRIVING STRAIGHT WITHOUT PUTTING ON BRAKES OR ACCELERATING. I CAN RESTART IT. AGAIN WITHOUT ANY NOTICE IT STALLS. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES AND AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR.THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU LOOSE POWER STEERING AND EFFECTIVE BRAKING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I NOTICED ONLINE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER ELANTRA OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WHICH IS RELATED TO THE PISTONS.

WHILE DIVING MY 2016 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT ON THE DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY I FELT THE ENGINE LOSE HORSEPOWER. I APPLIED THE GAS JUST TO SEE IF IT WAS THE CAR CHANGING GEARS, I HEARD THE ENGINE REV, BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN. I LOOKED DOWN AT MY DASHBOARD AND NOTICED THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED TO BLINK FOLLOWED BY MY OIL LIGHT. THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STOPPED BLINKED AND CONTINUED TO STAY ON FOLLOWED BY MY BATTERY LIGHT COMING ON. I TURNED MY HAZARDS LIGHTS ON AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND STARTED TO SEE WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF MY VENTS AND QUICKLY FILLING UP THE CABIN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND WALKED AWAY. I DIALED DALLAS ROADSIDE SAFETY SERVICES AND WHILE SPEAKING TO THEIR DISPATCHER MY ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE. I WATCHED MY CAR GET COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES BEFORE HELP ARRIVED.

ON MARCH 19, 2019, MY 16 ELANTRA GT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE ON A MAJOR ROAD IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE FULL FRONT END WAS TOTALED AND THE AIRBAG DID NOT GO OFF. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS NOT A FUTURE PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI AIR BAGS.

2/22/2019 CAR HAS 55,000 MILES BUT FOR PAST YEAR HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH BRAKING ON UNEVEN SURFACES [CRACKS, POTHOLES] ON HIGHWAY, STREETS. WHEN BRAKING CAR FEELS LIKE YOU ARE BRAKING ON FULL METAL AND BOTTOM OF CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS COMING APART. ANOTHER ISSUE FROM THE BEGINNING OF OWNING THE CAR ARE ISSUES WITH CAR HESITATING UPON LIFTING FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR. MY SISTER WHO OWNS THE SAME CAR/YEAR, HAS THE SAME ISSUE. PROBLEMS REPORTED: SUSPENSION/ACCELERATION.

I WAS EXITING THE EXPRESSWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. ON THE TURN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I ENDED UP HALF WAY ON TOP OF THE SIDEWALK AND HALF ON THE STREET. ALMOST KILLED MYSELF. WHEN THE CAR JUMPED THE SIDEWALK, THE AXLE BROKE LEAVING EACH OF THE FRONT WHEELS FACING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, THE TRANSMISSION WAS PUNCTURED. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER. APPARENTLY AN INVESTIGATION WAS GOING TO BE CONDUCTED BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION YESTERDAY THAT THE INVESTIGATION WAS COMPLETE AND NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE STEERING. HOW CONVENIENT! EASY WAY TO GET OUT OF THE PROBLEM EVEN AFTER SENDING ME A PACKET ASKING WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO "RESOLVE THIS ISSUE". APPARENTLY, I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. I HAVE NO CAR BUT STILL MAKING LEASE PAYMENTS. THEY DIDN'T EVEN OFFER A COMPLIMENTARY RENTAL, OUT OF SHEER COURTESY, DURING THE ENTIRE TIME. WOULD NEVER PURCHASE HYUNDAI AGAIN. THIS SHOULD REALLY BE LOOKED AT SERIOUSLY BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED.

ANOTHER CAR HIT MY CAR THE IMPACT CAUSED ME TO HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL. IT WAS OVER $10,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. I WAS PULLING OUT OF WALMART PARKING LOT ENTERING INTO THE LANE

CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALL LIGHTS AND ENGINE SEEMED TO STALL BUT WHEN I PRESSED ACCELERATOR AFTER A SECOND EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON. AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AND HAVE IT SHUT DOWN AND BE IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE TURN SIGNAL WAS BLINKING AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (HYUNDAI ON PERRYVILLE, 343 N PERRYVILLE RD, ROCKFORD, IL 61107, (815) 229-0089) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BULBS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE BULBS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INCORRECT BULBS WERE INSTALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,021.

MY VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE GAS INSIDE THE CABIN AND I CAN ALSO SEE THE GAS FUMES COMING OUT OF THE GAS TANK ONCE IT HITS 100 DEGREES.IT IS WORSE WHEN STOPPED AND STOP AND GO TRAFFIC DUE TO THE AIR NOT BLOWING IT AWAY LIKE IT DOES WHEN YOU KEEP DRIVING..HOW IS THIS SAFE?WHAT IF SOMEONE SMOKES? OR A SPARK HITS THE GAS TANK.PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT SO I KNOW MY FAMILY AND I ARE SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IN THE HEAT..I HAD THE CAR CHECKED FOR LEAKS AND NO GAS LEAKS.HYUNDAI GAVE ME A GENERIC PAPER ABOUT IT SAYING THATS WHAT IT IS SUPPOST TO DO.I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW SAFE IS THIS VEHICLE?

ROUTE 120 ST MARYS PA 15857 ABOUT 7:15AM TRAVELING AT 45MPH HIT GUARD RAILS HEAD ON PUSHED THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE CAR IN DID OVER $8100.00 DAMAGE. THE IMPACT WAS HARD ENOUGH IT PUSHED THE ENGINE BACK HAD MY SEAT BELT ON WAS UNINJURED OTHER THAN SPRAINS AND STRAINS AND ABRASIONS TO MY FACE I HIT MY HEAD OFF OF I DON'T KNOW WHAT NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED HYUNDAI TOLD ME THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE BUT WOULD TELL ME IF THEY FIND ANYTHING OR NOT. I ASKED SPECIFICALLY FOR A REPORT SO I WOULD KNOW IF MY AIR BAGS FAILED OR DID NOT AND THEY TOLD ME ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! DO I HAVE A RECOURSE TO GET THIS FROM THEM OR CAN YOU DEMAND IT FROM THEM? I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH FAULTY AIR BAGS.

WHEN I AM DRIVING AFTER ABOUT 30 MINS WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS I GET A WARNING LIGHT FOR THE BATTERY,OIL AND ENGINE. THE CAR TURNS OFF AND YOU JUST COAST AND IT STALLS.

THERE IS AN ENGINE KNOCK UPON COLD START. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED 3 TIMES AND 3 TIMES HYUNDAI HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING.

THE BRAKES ON MY HYUNDAI ELANTRA FAILED TWICE WITHIN 10 MINUTES. I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH STOPLIGHTS. I HAD AMPLE TIME TO STOP UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, BUT WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR, THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP IN TIME FOR A STOP LIGHT AND EVEN WENT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION BEFORE STOPPING. IT WAS ALSO NOT HANDLING NORMALLY DURING THE MOMENTS WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER CAR OR PEDESTRIAN IN MY PATH. I STOPPED AND CHECKED TO SEE IF THE FLOOR MAT HAD BUNCHED UP UNDER THE PEDAL.IT HAD NOT. THINKING IT MIGHT JUST BE A FLUKE I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE HOME VERY CAUTIOUSLY. DRIVING UNDER 50 MPH, AND TESTING THE BRAKES, THEY SEEMED TO BE WORKING. WHEN I WAS APPROACHING ANOTHER STOP LIGHT I SLOWED DOWN TO MAYBE 35 WAY IN ADVANCE. THEN THE LIGHT CHANGED TO RED AND AGAIN THE CAR WAS EXTREMELY SLOW TO STOP. I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT JUST BEFORE THE LIGHT BUT ONLY BECAUSE I WAS ALREADY GOING VERY SLOW, ANTICIPATING A POSSIBLE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A BRAKE PROBLEM FOR ELANTRAS A LITTLE NEWER THAN MINE. THAT WAS FOR A BRAKE BOOSTER. READING THE FIRST HAND ACCOUNTS OF THOSE FAILURES, IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT I EXPERIENCED. SINCE ONLY THE RECALLED VINS HAD THE PART THAT WAS MANUFACTURED BY MANDO, AND MY BRAKE BOOSTER WAS EVIDENTLY MADE BY ANOTHER MANUFACTURER, BUT MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE BRAKES WAS SO SIMILAR TO THE RECALLED VEHICLE, I WORRY THAT THE PROBLEM WITH ALL THOSE CARS COULD ACTUALLY BE A DESIGN FLAW IN THE C

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE STALLED. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE, BATTERY, AND OIL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO POHANKA HYUNDAI (1770 RITCHIE STATION CT, WALKER MILL, MD 20743, 301-899-0480) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT AN INVESTIGATION WOULD BE OPENED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 44,242.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISES WERE HEARD. THE DEALER (SPORT DURST HYUNDAI, 4507 DURHAM-CHAPEL HILL BLVD, DURHAM, NC 27707) WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,814.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERNAL EXHAUST LEAK AND A STRONG FUEL ODOR WAS PRESENT IN THE CABIN AND TRUNK OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT BECAME ILL AND NAUSEOUS DUE TO THE FAILURE. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT RECEIVED. THE DEALER (ABC HYUNDAI, 6825 REDWOOD ST, LAS VEGAS, NV 89118, (702) 475-8698) WAS NOTIFIED WITHIN TWO DAYS OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT IT WAS A NORMAL CONDITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, CLOSED THE CASE, AND DID NOT PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION FOR THE ODOR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH AND WAS PREPARING TO COME TO A NORMAL STOP FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN I BRAKED, A LOG CRUNCHING SOUND CAME FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND IT PULLED HARD TO THE LEFT. I RELEASED THE BRAKES SLIGHTLY AND BRAKED AGAIN. THE CAR CAME TO A SUCCESSFUL STOP. THE SOUND WAS SO LOUD AND VIOLENT, I THOUGHT THE BRAKE CALIPER OF WHEEL ITSELF HAD BROKEN LOOSE. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED, I MOVED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND PULLED OVER FOR A VISUAL INSPECTION. I COULD SEE NO SIGN OF ANY ISSUE AND THE CAR WAS BRAKING FINE. I HAD SEEN A PREVIOUS REPORT ABOUT A SIMILAR ISSUE WHEN ANOTHER DRIVER HAD FINISHED A 360 DEGREE HARD CORNERING EXIT FROM THE FREEWAY. I HAD DONE THE SAME THING BUT HAD DRIVEN ABOUT A MILE AFTER THE EXIT. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 34,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS REGULAR MAINTENANCE BY THE DEALERSHIP. I WILL BE FOLLOWING UP WITH A VISIT FOR A CHECKUP. THE TIRES ARE STILL ORIGINAL AND HAVE ABOUT 5K MILES WEAR LEFT ON THEM. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 3 DAYS SINCE AND HAVE HAD NO ISSUE.

I PURCHASE A BRAND NEW HYUNDAI ELANTRA END OF JANUARY 2016. WHEN I START DRIVING IT THE CAR STARTED GIVING ME PROBLEMS FOR 2 AND 7 MONTHS I'VE BEEN HAVING SO MUCH PROBLEM WITH MY CAR WHEN GOING TO DEALER CONSTANTLY SINCE I HAD IT NOW I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALER ON TUESDAY AND THE DEALER CALLED ME ON WEDNESDAY WITH THE MECHANIC EXPLAIN WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE CAR ON THURSDAY THE DEALER CALLED ME BACK SAYING THE CORPORATE COMPANY CAME OUT THEY HAVE TO REPLACE MY WHOLE ENGINE ON MY CAR I AM REALLY NOT HAPPY WITH MY CAR I DON'T WANT IT I WANT THEM TO TAKE THE CAR BACK I AM SO DONE AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS SO BAD THERE. THEY GAVE ME THE RUN-AROUND NORM REEVES HYUNDAI IN CERRITOS AND ALSO THE HENRY INN IN GARDEN GROVE ALSO.

WE WERE DRIVING ON 1-95 HIGHWAY WHEN THE FRONT TIRE DISINTEGRATED AND CAUSED CAR DAMAGE TO FRONT BUMPER, LEFT QUARTER PANEL, RIM, WHEEL COVER, AND DRIVER SIDE WINDOW ASSEMBLY. THE TIRE NAME IS HANKOOK TIRES OPTIMA H-428. THE HYUNDAI ELANTTRA BOUGHT IN 2016 HAD ONLY APPROX. 19,000 MILES. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD YESTERDAY, THE STEERING PULLED TO THE RIGHT VERY ABRUPTLY AND 2 LIGHTS CAME ON, ON THE DASH. AT THAT POINT THE STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THEN I AM TOLD IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRENTY. I KNOW IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE THAT THEY HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM IN THE PAST WITH THE SAME ISSUES.

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON A FREEWAY. THE ACCIDENT INVOLVED MY HYUNDAI, A PICK UP, AND A KIA. THE PERSON DRIVING THE KIA WAS AT FAULT. THE LANE WE WERE IN CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP DUE TO TRAFFIC AND THE PERSON IN THE KIA REAR ENDED ME WHICH CAUSE MY CAR TO HIT THE PICK UP. THE PICK UP HAD MINOR SCRATCHES AND DENTS, THE KIA HAD MINOR SCRATCHES WHERE AS MY HYUNDAI CRUSHED LIKE A CAN. MY BACK DOORS WOULDNT OPEN AFTER THE IMPACT AND MY CAR IS CONSIDERED TOTALED.

MY 17 YEAR OLD WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AFTER JUST COMPLETING A TURN, WHEN THE WARNING LIGHTS FOR BATTERY, ENGINE, AND OIL CAME ON, THE CAR SLOWED AND STOPPED RUNNING. SHE TRIED TO RESTART, NOTHING. 5 MINS LATER, A FRIENDS DAD STARTED IT WITH NO PROBLEMS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. TOOK IT TO SERVICE PLACE AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD SEEN THIS BEFORE IN HYUNDAI ELANTRA, WE WERE TOLD IT IS A "FLOODING" PROBLEM THAT HYUNDAI IS LOOKING INTO. THIS SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL TO FIX. I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER CAR FOR HER AND SHE IS STUCK DRIVING THIS BACK AND FORTH TO COLLEGE THIS FALL. IMAGINE DRIVING A CAR THAT TURNS OFF AT ANYTIME.

STARTED ASCENDING OVER A BRIDGE WHEN CAR STARTED TO PUTTER. THEN SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE TAILPIPE. POWER FLICKERED THEN WENT OFF. WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNED OFF THE CAR AND IT WAS SMOKING. LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE CAR AND SAW DRIPPING FLUID THEN A SPARK. THAT IS WHEN THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE.

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY CAR, I WAS GIVEN A DIFFERENT CAR THAN THE ONE WRITTEN DOWN ON MY PAPERWORK. I HAD TO COME BACK IN TO GET THE CAR THAT MATCHED MY PAPERWORK. SINCE RECEIVING THIS CAR, I NOTICED A SLIGHT HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING. RECENTLY, IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT WHERE IT WILL JERK REPEATEDLY WHEN I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY ACCELERATE AND THEN BREAK WHEN THERE IS TRAFFIC. WHEN I AM JUST DRIVING FREELY ON THE HIGHWAY OR SIDE STREETS, IT SEEMS TO GET STUCK IN ONE GEAR AND NO MATTER HOW HARD I PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL, IT WILL NOT GO ANY FASTER. I HAVE TO PRESS EXTREMELY HARD ON THE GAS TO MAKE IT GO AND THEN IT WILL JERK FORWARD AND MAKE A REALLY LOUD ACCELERATING SOUND AS IF I'M A MONSTER TRUCK. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE ON THE ROAD AND IT MAKES ME NERVOUS TO DRIVE IT. THIS CAR IS MY ONLY VEHICLE SO I CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO DRIVE IT, BUT I REALLY NEED SOMETHING DONE WITH THIS.
