Every timei turn the vehicle on my air bag light comes on.some times stay on all the time and some times it goes off and on while i'm driving.
The air bag light illuminated at first intermittently but later continual. I brought it to the dealer who informed me it was because of the clock spring. The dealer informed me that it was not covered under my policy and that i would need to pay for the diagnostic and the repair. The car is less than 5 years old and should not have a safety issue at this point that is not covered under a platinum protection plan. Im very disappointed.

Airbag light come on yesterday (9-19-17) while car was in motion and will not turn off now.after researching the issue, it appears to be a rather common problem.also stated airbag will not deploy in the event of a collision.
The contact owned a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving approximately 10 mph and making a left turn, the contact accidentally crashed into another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact and the passengers in the vehicle sustained minor scrapes and bruises that required medical attention. The other vehicle's passengers also required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed. The vin was unavailable. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 7,200. ..updated 10/01/14
On july 11, 2016 had an accident wherein the vehicle was totaled and the front driver side air bag did not deploy.driver was diagnosed with blunt force trauma to the sternum.driver rear ended a vehicle which was stopped on the on ramp to the highway.
The accident happened while i was driving on the freeway with light traffic traveling around 60 mph. It first began when i felt an unbalance of the front right tire. The car suddenly veered to the right regardless of my efforts to maintain control. My car fishtailed for a moments and almost caused me to crash into another car. I had no control of the car when my car crashed into the wall that lined the right side of the freeway.after visually inspecting the wheel, it appeared that the front right rim was cut in a half vertically and all around.it was cut in a near-perfect straight line - similar to what a opened can looks like. The tire remained fully intact without any damage. The body shop mechanics told us that they have never seen the rim cut like that before and said the only explanation would be a defect in the rim. We have pictures and can provide them upon request.the body shop mechanics and insurance adjusters are all clueless to how and why this occurred. Please open an investigation to help us determine the cause. The total estimate of the costs have estimated to be around $14000.
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)
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 contact owned a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving approximately 70 mph, the rear driver side tire blew out. As a result, the contact lost control of the vehicle. The contact's vehicle was rear ended by another vehicle and collided with the guardrail. None of the frontal air bags deployed. A police report was filed. The contact was injured and transported to the hospital by ambulance. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a tow lot. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 121,000.
The contact owned a 2013 hyundai elantra. While the contact was driving 30 mph, another vehicle ran her vehicle off the road. The contact drove into a concrete barrier and the vehicle flipped over. The passenger door was smashed in and had to be forced open. The frontal and side air bags did not deploy even though it was a frontal collision. The contact sustained a mild concussion and bruising to the face and upper body. The contact was transported to the emergency room via ambulance. The front windshield was completely smashed in towards the driver and passenger. The passenger was not injured. A police report was filed. The insurance company and manufacturer were contacted. There were no recalls; however, the air bag indicator illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired per an unknown recall repair on january 9, 2018. An unknown carmax dealer was also notified. The vehicle was totaled and towed to a scrap yard by the police. The failure mileage was 96,119.
The airbag light on the dashboard of my car goes on and off as i'm driving or when the car is not in motion. Apparently this is due to the clock spring needing to be replaced. Several hyundais have had this problem so hyundai extended its warrantyfor certain models. The 2013 elantra sedan is covered under this warranty,however,they failed to include the gt model. The gt model has the exact same part with the exact same issues, therefore it should be included under the warranty.this is a terrible safety issue since my airbags will not deploy if i get into a collision.
Im the original owner of a 2013 hyundai elantra which i just took in to local hyundai dealer for oil change and to also see about getting airbag malfunction warning light checked out...they told me there is no recall issued on this car......how can that be with something as dangerous as that?
My airbag light was off and on for about a month and now it is a steady light.the repair shop i took it to said i needed a clock spring and a new driver air bag.they also said i might need another part.total cost of all of this will be around $1600.since my car has over 100,000 miles, it is not under warranty.i've noticed other people are complaining about the airbag light.
The airbag light came on and i got it diagnosed and it was the clock spring. The clock spring needed to be replaced and the tech said that the clock spring itself wasnt broken, just that it shorted out. This should be covered under the warranty since this is a safety issue. I googled this problem before i got it fixed and there was a consensus that elantras have an issue with the clock spring. Hyundai did a partial recall of elantras within 2011-2014 for this issue, but my vehicle wasn't included in this recall. The light would generally stay on but would occasionally turn off on the highway, but then back on.
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.
Did not go off.
Air bag light wont go off...and seat belt fell out of the adjuster
I have noticed that my vehicle's airbag light is turning on and off while the vehicle is in motion on a city street and on highways. I do not know what triggers it to turn off and on. It also turns on and off while the vehicle is not in motion. I believe this is a major security issue because if i am involved in a major car crash and the airbags are not on then i will not be secured.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. When the vehicle was started, the air bag warning indicator illuminated intermittently without warning. The indicator currently remains illuminated. The local dealer (rick case hyundai duluth, 3180 satellite blvd nw, duluth, ga, 30096, 855-254-5290) advised the contact to schedule an appointment for diagnostic testing. The appointment was not scheduled due to the diagnostic fee. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who tried to reset the air bag sensor and diagnosed that the failure was due to the clock spring. The mechanic stated that they could not guarantee that it was the cause of the failure and that it needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that there was no recall on the vehicle. Due to the vehicle being outside of the 60,000 mile warranty, the contact would be responsible for the repair costs. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
My car air bag light came on 3 weeks ago. It hasn't turned off. The air bag light stays on while i'm driving, and when i'm in park.
Takata recall i have recently had my airbag light come on on my car. I have waited a month or two and the light will not go off. I have done numerous amounts of research and found out that this is an extremely popular malfunction with hyundai sonatas and hyundai elantras from the year of 2012. The problem happened right after i rolled over my 100,000 mile warranty so it was covered no longer. This is a safety concern to many people as this is a very popular car. I've had diagnostics done on my car and told it was the clock spring that has malfunctioned. Reviews also have the same malfunction.
Air bag light stays on all the time while while driving.not sure if the airbags working. Issue has not been resolved.
My airbag light on dashboard is remaining on dashboard and vehicle check in progress is reported on my radio display information when i begin to start driving my car for past several weeks i have reset light as informed but does not correct the problem. I have had steering wheel bracket replaced and never have had a problem before now. I am a single mother of two and i rely on my airbags incase of accident for me an my family. How do i resolve this issue?
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.
Driver was making a left turn into a parking space on 2nd floor of parking garage. As the left turn was made, the elantra gt suddenly accelerated by itself into a wall, hitting a pole and the wall. Hyundai is investigating. Dealer is useless. Right now unsure how to proceed. Exterior can be fixed, but what about the problem?

The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the airbag warning light illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 134,000.
The light had been on for a while now, it goes off once i start the engine but once i start to drive is when it comes on. I took it to the dealership and they're going to look at it tomorrow to see what the issue is. The airbag light indicates off and when my brother sat in the passenger seat the airbag light went away and showed nothing but the notification on the dashboard still showed on.
On monday when i started my car i realized my airbag light on my dashboard was on alerting me that my airbags are deactivated and won't deploy. My car has never been in an accident and the airbags have never deployed. It is unsettling that i have to drive around without airbags because i can not afford to pay over 100$ to fix the problem and there is no recall even though my car is not the first hyundai to have this problem. This is a safety issue.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator remained illuminated. The contact suspected that the timing spring in the steering wheel could have caused the failure. Hyundai of anderson (1925 pearman dairy rd, anderson, sc 29625, (864) 642-0900) mentioned that the spring was a common issue, but they would have to run a diagnostic test and charge a fee. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 60,000.
The airbag light came on and i got it diagnosed and it was the clock spring. The clock spring needed to be replaced and the tech said that the clock spring itself wasnt broken, just that it shorted out. This should be covered under the warranty since this is a safety issue. I googled this problem before i got it fixed and there was a consensus that elantra have an issue with the clock spring. Hyundai did a partial recall of elantra within 2011-2014 for this issue, but my vehicle wasn't included in this recall.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While idling at a stop light, the contact's vehicle was rear ended by another vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed. As a result, the contact rear ended the preceding vehicle. None of the air bags deployed and the seat belt failed to restrain the contact. The visor fell down and partially prevented further head injury. A police report was filed. The driver sustained hip bruising, back pain, right leg pain, face abrasions, and wrist pain (mainly the left wrist). Medical attention was required. A police report was filed. The insurance company towed the vehicle to senn's collision repair center. The vehicle was not diagnosed by an independent mechanic or a dealer concerning the air bag and seat belt failure. Within a week, the manufacturer was notified of the crash and stated that an investigation could take up to six weeks or longer. The contact was waiting on a response. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 13v115000 (air bags and structure). The approximate failure mileage was 83,000.
When i drove the new car off the lot it began pulling to the right, but since we bought it late on a friday afternoon i couldn't do anything until the following day. The passenger air bag light also came on (i'm referring to the light by the tachometer, not the one below the radio). Bluelink performed an inspection remotely & said to take the car to the dealership asap. The following day we took the car back to the dealership & they said they needed to keep the car until monday, but we were moving to a different city therefore we would have to take the car to a dealership in our new city instead. I told the story to the service dept, left the car there at the new dealership, 2 days later i came back to get it. The air bag issue was fixed but not the pulling to the right. The alignment specialist came with me to test it, realized that it was still pulling, we went back to the dealership & switched the two front tires & went again for another test. The specialist realized that the car was now pulling to the left. We test drove the car over 8 times, they said alignment was good & only attempted to rotate the tires multiple times, car still pulled. I took the car to a different dealership, they agreed the car was pulling but wouldn't do anything because another dealership had already inspected it & i would have to pay even though the car was barely two wks old! i went back to the previous dealership, we tested it again with the service manager. They tried to convince me there was nothing wrong, when clearly the car still pulls strongly to the right. I had to escalate the problem to hyundai usa as the dealership wouldn't do anything further. After reading the owners manual, it clearly states that the power steering should be checked if the car is in alignment, yet pulling to one side. The dealership never recommended this, nor did any testing of the steering.
I am not sure if this is related to takata recall.but the electronics controlling the air bag and cruise control are not functioning!the poor design of the steering covers squeeze the wires that are bent into the connector causing these circuits not to function.at this point, the red light for the air-bag is on all the time which means the it will not deploy causing serious damage.this steering cover design is common on all elantra models so we suspect the problem could impact significant number of cars.i managed to test the problem, but pulling the cover off and testing the wires.when the cover is pull away from the body of the steering, the circuit for the cruise control works!hyundai should re-locate the plug where these wires are connected further lower to avoid these wires getting squeezed. And for the current models, a shorter connector could remedy this problem by preventing the wires from getting squeezed.
Seat belt warning litht is one in red all the time, is related to air bag
Airbag warning light came on while i was driving the vehicle and has remained on since light was initially illuminated.
Air bag warning light staying on.took the car to hyundai dealership.diagnosis code was high resistance.i am told this is a broken wire.hyundai refused to pay the $360 repair.my extended warranty also refused to pay the repair.when the light is staying on, if in an accident none of the air bags will deploy. The car only has 67,000 miles.this is a safety problem and there are many complaints about this.i spoke with their customer care dept, they refused to pay for the repair.their was an extended warranty on some models, but they say my car isnt on the list.i have contacted the bbbauto line, and the missouri state atty general.at no time is money more important than consumer safety.i only ask for them to rightfully repair my car.they advertise how safe their cars are and there are 6 air bags.unfortunately they dont work.please help and make other consumers aware of this problem thank you
The airbag lights wont turn off.
Air bag lights has been on for quite some time. Reason: unknownengine light is on: diagnose something dealing with taking on too much fuel steering wheel: clicking every time i hit a bump or turn the wheel
The srs (air bag) indicator remained lit after starting the engine and the startup routine of checking all the systems. That has never stayed on until 6-3-2019, and now it won't go off. I've checked the fuse to the system, checked the seat belt latches, and the connectors. Light still remains lit when the engine is running.
Air bag light is on stays on and have sewn this is an on going issue with many elentras and no recall. I e seen this to be an issue for yrs. I have made many calls to hyundai and i keep getting take it to the dealership your out of your 60000 mile warranty and pay what ever fee it is.
Airbag light gos on and off
The airbag light on my hyundai elantra has been turning on for a couple of minutes when i start the vehicle and then will turn off. After a few more minutes it will happen again as if there is a malfunction with the airbags and the computer is trying to trouble shoot the problem but still finding an error. I would like a follow up to insure that if someone were to hit my vehicle that the airbags would deploy properly.
I recently lease the above vehicle from local dealer universal hyundai in orlando. After driving a short distance i realized that the passenger airbag light was lit (meaning off) even though my wife was in it. I contacted the dealership who had me speak to a service advisor (scott).he told me that i should buy a pillow since my wife was only about 103 pounds in weight, and that there were no adjustments which could be made to the seat. This did not make sense to me so i continued to my sales rep(george spencer). He had the service manager (nestor dias) contact me and he basically told me that under 150 pounds the airbag won't deploy.if i had realized this up front, i would never have leased the elantra. Now, the airbag light goes on and off when it chooses. I love my wife and am truly concerned about her safety. Please advise.

My airbag light came on. I have had no accident.i called the dealer and they want $185 diagnostic fee. Shouldn't airbags and safety be covered by the dealer if no accident has occurred?i am driving without an airbag right now due to no fault of my own.the airbag light just appeared about a week ago.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that while driving at 55 mph, she depressed the brake pedal however, the brakes failed to engage with an abnormal noise being heard. The contact stated that she pumped the brake pedal several times however, the vehicle travelled into a ditch, hit a fence and crashed into a metal post. The contact stated that the air bags failed to deploy as the front of the vehicle was damaged. The contact stated that no injuries were sustained and a police report was filed. The contact also stated while driving over a speed bumper an abnormal noise was heard when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was previously serviced under three recalls.the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The dealer and manufacturer had not been contacted.the failure mileage was 89,000.
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.
The electrical volume and controls on the steering wheel went out. The airbag light came on and won't go off
Airbag light went off at about 80 thousand miles and has been on ever since
The airbag light comes on and off while driving or sitting still.
Airbag light remains on, bags have never deployed; known issue with elantras - how is this not a recall?
At approximately 93000 miles, the air bag warning light came on and will not go off.at the same time the steering wheel controls for the phone/radio also failed.apparently it is a common failure with 2013 elantras.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the air bag indicator illuminated on and off. The contact called gosch hyundai (100 carriage cir, hemet, ca 92545, (951) 658-3188) and was informed to schedule a service appointment. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 38,800.
2013 hyundai elantra. Consumer writes in regards to tire mobility kits safety recall. *ldthe consumer stated the dealer advised the recall expired. Theairbag light was on.
My airbag light came on and i called the dealership. They said that this has been happening a lot with hyundai models and said it was likely due to a "clock spring" and that it would cost me $100 just to evaluate, and then possibly another $350 to fix. The guy i talked to said that my airbag would not deploy until it was fixed. This seems like a serious safety issue that appears to be fairly common.
Air bags light comes on disabling the air bags. Something in the steering column that is connected to the clock spring. Investigation results in hundreds of similar problems with hyundai cars.
I rear ended a car and nearly totaled my car. For some odd reason the airbag never deployed during the time of impact.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator remained illuminated. The contact was concerned that the air bag might deploy. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that a spring behind the air bag was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 66,000.
The airbag light came on my 2013 hyundai elantra gt at the 61,000 mile mark. Took it in to the dealership to find out the problem and it was determined the the clock spring was found defective from the manufacturer. They were willing to replace the clock spring but at a cost of $495 dollars. I asked why they were charging since this was a manufacturer and safety problem and they determined that my car was no longer covered since i had gone over the 60,000 mile mark. I called hyundai usa to report my concern for this safety hazard and all they told me was that they could not cover it due to mileage. I am greatly concerned for the safety of my family and self knowing that the airbag is disabled if a car crash were to occur. This is the only means of transportation that i have and unfortunately cannot afford to pay for something that is a safety defect and hazard which i feel hyundai should fix at no cost.
I have only had this car for three months. Two weeks ago the air bag light off kept appearing while driving. Then 3 days ago the driver side seat belt locked. It will not release. I have read a lot of forums from many others with the same problem from hyundai cars. The dealership charges 500-1500$ just to fix 1 seatbelt. Its a safety problem as well as fraud.
During merge onto a major dallas tollway, traffic became stopped in the right lane and upon applying a hard brake of my car, the anti-lock brakes failed to engage, the seatbelt did not lock, my car felt as though it was accelerating even though i was pressing the brake pad hard.i hit the car in front of me once and then again before my car stopped, still running.my car sustained $8500 in damage to the front end, but the air bag did not even deploy. I have owned it for 15 months and have not had an issue of this nature in the past, however i am now concerned of the safety of this vehicle.
The airbag light came on and stayed on - took to dealer to find out why - told the air bag control module needed replaced (code b1620) at a whopping cost of $1400!plus the $110 it cost me to have it diagnosed.i have a warranty however this safety issue is not covered and i find that very upsetting as there are many complaints on air bags not going off because of this unit!the car is 5 years old and has less than 100,000 miles on it.this should not go bad and if it does hyundai should take care of it as it is a safety issue!how many people have to be seriously injured or worse die before hyundai gets involved? its a safety issue that should be covered - obviously profits out weigh safety with them.
Was about 2 tenths of a mile from a stop sign.as i was beginning to make my approach, the car accelerated, lurched forward and sped across a four lane highway before i could react. The car was t-boned on the passengers side.the impact straightened my vehicles trajectory from 90 degrees to about 30 to 45 degrees. I then impacted a guardrail with a somewhat nearly head-on angle. After i went through the guardrail i then impacted a tree head-on which brought the vehicle to a stop. My passenger's side curtain air bags deployed but the front (dash) air bags did not.my passenger received a broken collar bone, fractured rib, scalp lacerations (stitches), a concussion and multiple bruises from head to toe.
At less than 5 years of use the "clock-spring" located in the steering column became "defective" causing the srs idiot light to illuminate and indicating the entire srs system is shutdown. This vehicle is less than 5 years of age with a defective critical safety component failure that hyundai refuses to cover for any reason other than force by government agency. This component is not external but rather well protected and not susceptible to fluids, or external forces other than its normal operation of simply turning with the steering wheel. This component connects the steering wheel airbag to the srs system however instead of simply disabling the steering wheel airbag, it's failure disables all the airbags as well as any other safety device connected to the srs system. Through no fault of the owner or the operator of the vehicle, the srs system can shutdown while driving with no audible indication other than a small idiot light on the dash which can easily be unnoticed. If a crash situation occurs, the operator of the vehicle can be seriously injured or killed due to no airbag deployment. I contend this part in this vehicle has been poorly designed and manufactured and becomes defective long before the vehicle has been removed from service. This part, at the very least, should be paid for by hyundai. Furthermore a study of existing clock-springs used by this manufacturer should be studied as this is not a first for this part and this manufacturer. Attachment doc shows repair, part number, and cost of repair. Furthermore, this item should not be a mileage warranty part...the life of this part is based on how many times the steering wheel is turned, not how many miles the car is driven..a city car will have much more turns than a highway vehicle.
Certain steering wheel controls -- including the volume controls and bluetooth phone controls -- stopped working. A few months later, more steering wheel controls -- such as other audio and media controls -- stopped working.a year later, the ability to change the steering tension, from comfort to normal to sport, stopped working.within the past year, the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel have stopped working, and the red airbag light is on continuously. Although hyundai has issued a recall for certain 2011-2014 elantra vehicles, and my vehicle meets that year range and model, the dealership will not cover replacing the airbag clock spring assembly because my vin does not match their criteria. As such, the dealership has quoted $480 to fix my vehicle's airbag clock spring assembly.if my vehicle experiences the same airbag safety issues that covered vehicles have experienced and which prompted the recall, my vehicle also should be covered under the extended clock spring warranty.
Was making a left turn at a intersection and t boned a pick up truck, extensive damage to front end of the elantra front end,[ air bags did not deploy on the elantra ] even though the whole front end was tore off. Driver door damaged,windshield cracked both front fenders damaged, plus unknown if transmission and or transaxle has been damaged until the car can be repaired. Hyundai has stop any repairs until they send a hyundaiinvestigator to look at the car, which they say could take up to 6 to 8 weeks to check it.
Hyundai has recalled certain model years elantras to due a defective steering wheel clock spring.however, hyundai will not honer this recall for the exact same failure in the elantra gt models of the same year.these models utilize the same part!failure of this part prevents the drivers airbag from deploying.this is a massive safety failure!
1-the airbag light stays on all the time ! 2- the car was recalled for a break issue, since i took it to the dealer the paddle feel loser(( i need to push the break two times to get the clippers works! i have changed the break clippers and the same problem!!!!
Airbag warning light came onfor no reason while i was driving and remains on. I called dealership and was told i would have to pay $169.00 just to diagnose the problem. Reading the other complaints on this website it appears gt has the same airbags as other elantras but is not on recall for this part? why not? isn't this a safety issue?
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.
I was coming off of interstate 95 onto my exitand i applied my brake to slow my car but my brake apparently gave out and was not working . It make a loud sound like it was trying to hold but it didn't and in order to stop my car from hitting any others or people standing at the side of the road i tried steering it toward the closest curb so that i could prevent as much as possible within my power. My airbags didn't deploy but the car hit hard enough that my face slammed into the steering wheel, i sustained a concussion and damaged my face and glasses. I have muscle strains in my back, neck and still a swollen eye and cheek bone.
On engine start up, the air bag warning light was activated indicating failure with either the airbag or supplement restraint system.dealer diagnostics indicated the "clockspring" part had failed.this part has failed often enough that hyundai has extended warranty on "some models of 2011-2014" elantra, but not the model of my car even though it is the same part that is on all 2011-2014 elantra models.should it fail while the vehicle is moving, then the driver's airbag may not deploy during an accident or the supplement restraint system may not work.the "clockspring" part connects to the speed control system.
My 19 year old daughter was in an accident on april 9th 2016 in her 2013 hyundai elantra. . both vehicles were at a dead stop at an intersection before eitherof them started moving. My daughter was going straight and the other vehiclewas turning, both of which were going approximately 10 mph.my daughters car hit the front fender of the other vehicle causing a bent wheel and a small dent to the fender. My daughters hyundai, totaled. Every airbag in the hyundai deployed, includingthe back seat which seemed strange since it was a frontal crash. The transmission wouldn't go in toany other gear it was stuck in drive. Thehood was smashed up to the front windshield. The damage to the car was over $12,000 there has to be some faulty part(s) or equipment on the car to cause such damage at such low speeds. I can't imagine what could happen at highway speeds in a crash in a hyundai. I wrote to hyundai about safety concerns of their hyundai elantras, their response was unacceptable: "we understand that you are dissatisfied with the design of the 2013 elantra and we apologize for any disappointment this has caused you.this information has been forwarded to all appropriate parties within hyundai for review, including hyundai management." really hyundai! people can be severely injured or die in these vehicles which i feel hyundai needs to be a little more concerned.
Braking difficultiesand air bags structure.
Srs light illuminated while driving on a city street. Obd has determined that the driver's front airbag clock spring has failed.vehicle has 72,175 miles.this part is a known high failure item and the warranty has been extended to 15 years for 2011-2013 sonata, 2011-2014 sonata hybrid and 'certain' 2011-2014 elantra. The warranty extension does not cover my 2013 elantra gt.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that theair bag warning indicator illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.
Airbag warning light illuminated for months and will not turn off. Every once in a while it randomly goes away but then comes back on soon after. This is a safety issue if the airbag is not functioning properly and this safety system defect needs to be recalled and fixed for free.also, i have replaced my brake lights 3 times in the last few years but as soon as i do a different tail/brake light goes out. What seems to be an electrical issue is also a hazard and safety issue if my brake lights cannot illuminate indicating braking.
While turning into a parking spot. My car suddenly jumped and accelerated and slammed into a concrete barrier. The air bag also did not deploy.
2 weeks after i purchased this car, the airbag light on the instrument panel came on. Dealer refused to do anything about it.also noticed 2 weeks after i purchased, that the sunroof assembly leaks, and water pools around the spare tire. Worried about water damage caused to the spare tire, and the possibility of mold growing.
My steering column makes an awful noise like a clicking noise the whole time i'm driving it really scares me but i have to drive it bc it's my only means of transportation. Now my break lights all the way across doesn't work and it's not a fuse.last thing is my airbag light stays on also which scares me .please some one help get these issues resolved quickly i'm the second owner so i probably haven't gotten the recalls about these issues.please please help me .thank you
Air bag dashboard light at first was flashing and now remains on solid every time vehicl is started. This is a common problem with similar models from 2010 to now. This is a serious safety issue that should be handled as a recall instead of leaving the consumer to address the problem.
The air bag warning light is on im not going to pay close to 300$ for a safety fix there are plenty of the same models with the same issue, a bad clockspring! never went over any bumps never any railroads just started it one day and it was on.
On april 14th 2017 my wife was involved in a car accident where she hydroplaned off of an onramp at 60-65mph as she was getting on the highway and rolled her 2013 hyundai elantra. The side impact and side curtain airbags never deployed. At the time of the accident she was a month and a half pregnant. I her husband called hyundai while at the hospital. I let them know that "none" of the airbags deployed and they said that they would start a case. I also let the company know where the car was being sent which was a hyundai dealership in town and asked if they would check the airbags which "never happened".the car was repaired and we picked up the car on may 4th 2017. We have been in constant contact with hyundai about the airbag situation and we feel that they never really took it seriously. My wife's car has been sitting in our driveway since may 4th, 2017 not being driven due to (a) my wife being afraid of the car and not feeling safe inside. (b) not knowing about the airbags and the "ongoing investigation". Fast forward to today september 20th, 2017 i received an email from hyundai saying that due to them not being able to check the car and airbags out "post-accident they were unable to find any faults in the airbags, and then they go no to say that the elantra's side curtain airbags are not supposed to deploy in a rollover accident. My wife was traveling at between 60 and 65 mph when she lost control of her elantra and i can not understand why they (a) did not check the airbags when the car was at a certified dealer/repair shop and (b) why they are telling us that the side curtain airbags were not supposed to deploy in a rollover. From the research that i have done in any rollover the side impact and side curtain airbags are supposed to deploy in a rollover. I do have picture and emails fro the accident and emails from hyundai.
Airbag light stays on while car is running.
I have a 2013 hyundai elantra 4dr gls with 80,000+ miles on it. Red airbag warning light came on randomly and will not turn off.
I was in motion and my emergency brake did not work . I continue down hill and to avoid on coming traffic,,i turn to the right to hit the fence. My air bags never open. Tha k godi always were my seat belts.
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.
I have had senors check they say it is malfunction in the air bagsand also need no brakes have ask others owners about there brakes and they say same thing happens they drag have had all this check for safety reason please check about the driver side air bag
The airbag light stays on all the time. The light is supposed to go out after 6 seconds of the car being started. Mine does not go out and remains lit. They have extended the warranty for 15 years for this issue due to the clock spring needing replaced.

The failure and current mileage was 21,497.
Airbag srs light appeared on dash panel without reason when the vehicle was started in a parked position and has stayed illuminated since first appearing. The light has been present for several months now. Recent diagnostics reported airbag fault (code b134600 driver airbag resistance too high stage #1). Service facility deemed fault is secondary to defective clock spring. The defect causes the airbag system to fail and airbags will not deploy in the event of an accident because of this fault.

My airbag light came on then went off but now back on. I called the dealer (dennis hyundai) today (4/24/19)to ask about the recall on the airbag i would on the new, iesha the lady i talked to said there is not a recall on my car? why not if the light is on the airbags will not destroy. What am i suppose to do?

The driver side airbag indicator light period comes on and off while driving. Even though there has been no accidents.
Steering wheel makes a clicking sound every time it is moved and shakes violently when trying to stop the vehicle. The air bag light will not go off.

Air bag sensor just went on fir no reason. Told steering wheel would have to be removed and cost would be close to $400 for entire job. This seems like a defect to me as never had any vehicles with this important safety issue.
The air bag light had been illuminating and staying on for a bit then going back off. Last week it came on and has stayed on. There has been no reason for it to be on.
Airbag light stays on constantly. Car has not been in an accident
The airbag light stays on. They have recalls and or manufacturers extended warranty for other hyundai elantra's, but not for 2013 hyundai elantra gt?this is a serious safety issue and i am placing a complaint because this should be covered and not an expense to owner of the car.it's extremely dangerous and could cause serious harm with such a default. All hyundai's having this issue, should be covered under extended warranty, not just some.
Air bag light was coming on and off while driving, since 8/17/2019. Now it is on all of the time. Vehicle has not been in any recent accidents, or received any damage. Research shows this is probably a clock spring in the steering wheel. $79 dealer fee just to identify the issue, before parts and labor to repair.seems to be pretty common for hyundai vehicles of this age and should be a recall!
I was going to work on the morning of 12-3-13. While merging from rt 77 to i480 when i noticed an accident ahead. I slowed down because of the accident and was hit from behind by another car and was pushed into the car in front of me. None of my airbags deployed. I sustained the following injuries: cervical and thoracic strain and sternal contusion. The injuries resulted in medical costs exceeding $15,000. The repair to the vehicle cost $10,500. ..updated 08-28-14
My airbag light is on and will not go off. I was told it will cost almost $400 to get things fixed. I feel this should be a recall because it's affecting my safety to drive my vehicle.
Airbag light has come on randomly. Now it stays on.
2013 elantra gt, 5 years old at 109k miles. We bought it used 3 months ago. The airbag light came on a week ago. The problem is the clock spring in the steering wheel which is a very common issue on this type and year vehicle. There is a service bulletin about this which extends the clock spring warranty to 15k miles and unlimited mileage but the dealership says that our car is not covered under this extended warranty based on the vin. The dealer told us to call hyundai corporate at 800-633-5151 and ask for "good will" warranty coverage which i did and i have a case open# 11648781. The representative on the phone was evasive and not willing to do much. The same with the dealer. The extended warranty nhtsa id number is 10115229, the manufacturer service bulletin # is 5np-e9r9g-08 (attached here). The issue covers 2011-2014 elantra and 2011-2013 sonata models. The clock spring part # is exactly the same between these models. I do not understand why some cars are covered and some not. If this is such a common problem to trigger extended warranty, all cars in the affected years must be covered. The clock spring should last he life of the vehicle, thus the 15 years extended warranty. Hyundai should do good by its customers and fix all affected vehicles. Extended warranty is much cheaper than a full blown recall. One last thing, this problem is also a safety issue since is disables the entire airbag system. The steering wheel controls are also affected, the cruise control button a mixed up, the cancel became set for example which could be quite dangerous. Other buttons don't work at all or all the time. This is my second hyundai vehicle and it looks like it will be the last. Very frustrating.
Airbag light came on after 100,000 miles.my car is out of the initial warranty.dealership wants to run a diagnostic for 115$, not including parts or labor for findings.the light came on while the vehicle was running and in motion.at first, it came on and of, then stayed on.

Red light with airbag picture stays on in the dash under the gauges. It comes on and stays on during driving with seat belts fastened and everything secured. Might be indicating some sort of malfunction in safety airbag system.
Airbag light remaining on and was told it is the clockspring, which is being recalled on multiple other hyundais but dealers says not this model.car is just 5 years old, should not need safety system replaced yet.
My air bag light turned on a few months ago. At first, it was when i was only turning my steering wheel or when i was in park. Now, it's always on. I have seen this issue so often and for it to be such a common issue and not recalled is very disappointing. This is a huge safety issue and can be fatal if i were to be in an accident because my air bag wouldn't deploy properly.
I have a 2013 hyundai elantra 4dr gls with 86,000 miles on it. Red airbag warning light will not turn off. Took it to local hyundai dealer in lansing, mi. Told me it would cost $122 just to read the fault code with their equipment. They told me it was fault code b138200. They said it was the airbag front seat passenger back assembly. Part number 884003x631pbs. They told me it was not covered under warranty because i am over 60,000 miles. When i looked up the fault code it stated side airbag front passenger resistance too high. They want $1,321.00 to fix it. Searching on line revealed many complaints on the hyundai elantra airbag system. I believe this should be a safety recall. Thanks
Air bag light is on when i turn the engine on. The engine malfunction light turns of and on intermittently.
1.airbag light has been turning on.no apparent reason but i was told that if in an accident will not deployed. Since 10/12/20162.suspension is not the greatest, car will swirled sometimes if exceeding 40mph hello i live in puerto rico there is no such thing as 40mph in our roads...3. Tire sensors are constantly braking.4. Front headlights seems get humidity when it rains or get too cold.5. Brakes sometimes do not work as they should, i stop and it seems to keep going i would have to brake again to make it stop and these is not going more than 40 mph.
Air bag light came on and buttons on steering wheel no longer work. Many other elantra owners have made complaints about this but nothing has been done. They want me to pay to fix a safety issue with the air bags and it happened before i hit 60000 but couldn't get in until later so they used that to not fix it on there on dime.
Airbag light comes on and then goes of when you unfasten seatbelt.
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.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While stopped, another vehicle rear ended the contact's vehicle. As a result, the contact's vehicle rear ended the preceding vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The driver sustained injuries to the back and the right thumb. The front passenger sustained a back injury. The contact did not disclose if medical attention was required. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 91,000. ...updated 02/11/15
The clock spring contact assembly for the driver's air bag supplemental restraint system (srs) has become damaged through usage over time. The driver's air bag electrical circuit experiences a high resistance condition, causing the driver's air bag to not deploy. The clock spring develops high resistance, in the event of a crash, the drivers air bag will not deploy and will not be able to properly protect the driver, increasing the risk of injuries. Hyundai has issued a recall/tsb for the 2013 hyundai elantra sedan, but not the hatchback which utilizes the exact same part. The repair cost is almost $500 at the dealer and because the repair involves removing the airbag and removing the steering wheel it poses a safety risk for shade tree mechanics. The attached tsb should also apply to the elantra hatchback as well,
The contact owned a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving approximately 55 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard. As a result, the contact crashed into another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained head and neck injuries and the front passenger sustained head, neck and left shoulder injuries that required medical attention. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a tow lot. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The cause of the failures was not determined. The approximate failure mileage was 101,569.
Intermittent engine light illumination. Happens only after the "vehicle check in progress". Car has started to run rough both while accelerating and at a stop. Acts like it will shut off. Having to put the car in neutral and pat the gas to keep it running. There is a tsb for this issue but no active recall. Constant run around at the service centers. They say its normal for it to run rough. Also the rubber steering coupler went bad. Was making a thud noise when steering wheel was turned. Also a tsb for this....no recall. But wait theres more! the clock spring is also bad! tsb for this too! bad clock spring results in the loss of power to the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. When i replaced the steering coupling, i forgot to plug in a wiring harness under the wheel and the buttons started working again but had no power steering. Plugged the harness back in and had steering but the buttons no longer worked. Pretty sure hyundai is uploading error codes and giving people the run around in an attempt to get more money. Recall this crap already before something bad happens. Hold this company responsible for selling crap to people.
I was rear ended at a high speed and pushed into the car in front of me. The air bag did not deploy, causing me to hit the steering wheel and break my nose.
"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.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that while entering the vehicle and driving out of the parking lot at 3 mph, the vehicle unintendedly accelerated. The contact then crashed into four parked vehicles and a few parking signs. The air bags did not deploy. The contact suffered a broken patella on their right leg, they had a bad abrasion on their left leg, a hematoma on their skull and black eyes that required medical attention. The contact was the only one in their vehicle at the time of the failure. There was no one else in the other vehicles the contact crashed into. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The insurance company was currently inspecting the vehicle. The contact called hyundai of ashville (860 tunnel rd, asheville, nc 28805 (828) 298-4911) however, the contact's insurance company instructed them to not call the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000.
My wife was driving the car. It was a dark road in the night. Perhaps she didn't see the stop sign and crashed into a vehicle coming from right hand side, going in the same direction my wife was going. My wife crashed the other vehicle from behind.it was serious crash in which the entire front portion of the car is damaged. But the air bags did not come out. My wife had her head hit the steering wheel and had an injury.my complaint is "why did the air bag not inflate in such a serious crash?" ..updated 10/06/14 . Updated 05/13/2015
At 62,000 miles my air bag light began intermittently flashing and now remains illuminated. The dealership wants to charge me a few hundred dollars to diagnose the problem and says that my airbags will fail unless fixed. The airbags are not covered under warranty and i am reading hundreds of stories online just like my experience. Hyundai should recall this issue and keep drivers safe! i would never recommend a car with airbags failing after less than 5 years! i do not feel safe driving this vehicle.
The contact owned a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving approximately 40 mph, a vehicle crashed into the front end of the contact's vehicle. The vehicle sustained severe front end damage and was destroyed, but the air bags did not deploy. The driver sustained injuries to the neck, back, shoulder, and stomach. Medical attention was received. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 45,000.
The key fob is not detected (intermittently). When this happens, i am left stranded. My car will not start. I have changed the battery in the fob when this occurs and i have tried to use my second key fob. The problem still is not aided. I have attempted to put the fob up to the start button, as some videos suggest. The problem still continues. Upon looking at forums and other places on the web where hyundai customers communicate, it is obvious that this is a common problem among hyundai customers. During this time, the car was stationary. This is a recurring issue. I even got the brake sensor replaced. The problem continues.
After the completion of my work shift, i return to my vehicle and discovered a fire has taken place. Lucky, the fire didn't get out of control and wasn't active at the time. The passenger seat was completely burnt including the seat covers and the items in the seat. The items in the seat included: steak & shake leftover trash, and a perfume bottle. This fire also damaged a door dash bag that i had in the back passenger seat. Not to mention, the impact of the fire that created black duct all over the vehicle windshields, radio, seats, dashboard etc... No police report, nor fire report has been reported at this given time.
I went out to start car and it would not start...i tried several times and finally held the key as far a it would go and it cranked. I took it to the hyundai dealer and they kept it over night. They could find nothing wrong with it. Next month same thing happened only this time i could not start it. I called hyundaidealer and they towed the car and kept it for a week. The car started right back up for them and they could not find the problem. The battery is good and everything comes on like the radio and wipers but doesn't start. The only thing the tow guy did was to put the car in neutral to get it on the tow truck. When i went on line to find you all i saw several people with the same car having the same problem, my warranty gives out in a few hundred miles and i am afraid that when it doesn't start again i will not be covered. And i am afraid it will not start when i am at the beach or out of town or the store. I t is a very vulnerable place to be because i have children. Updated 09/15/15*lj
While turning into a parking spot. My car suddenly jumped and accelerated and slammed into a concrete barrier. The air bag also did not deploy.
Push button start.car will not start right away after depressing the start button.when start button is depressed, indicating lights on the dash will illuminate, and approximately 10 second later, the radio and the air conditioning will kick in.at this point i have approximately 10 seconds to attempt to start the car and 75% of the time the car will start; otherwise, i have to turn the car off and attempt to restart again.this issue has been going on for approximately two months now. Took it into the dealership and they stated they could not recreate the problem as the car started for them every time apparently and could not do anything to solve my issue, even though they admittedly tightened up terminals for the battery. The car seemed to start every single time for about a week after the visit, and now it's doing it again.called hyundai and they knew nothing about issue.i've resorted to taking video to help describe the issue to technicians, and the latest dealership basically told me that they still would not be able to use my video but would have to recreate the problem themselves.this is going to be really bad if i'm stuck in somewhere because my car won't start and hyundai claiming they cant do anything about it.
I bought my 2013 elantra on 7/17/12 from orlando hyundai. On 8/4/12 while driving on i-95, the tpms (tire pressure monitoring system) light began to flash. I immediately pulled into the nearest tire shop and had the tire pressure checked on all 4 tires and they were all fine. The mechanic suggested i have my dealership take a look and possibly have them reset the sensors. Upon my arrival home, i took my car to the dealership and they were unable to provide a reason for the sensors going off. The issue persisted for several months causing me to spend countless hours at the dealership. They even went as far as to keep my car for over a week, drive it several miles and replace the entire system including all four tire sensors. Despite this, the tpms light still flashes. They have attempted to convince me that usb and aux cords in my car (used with my phone) are causing a signal interference with the sensors. In my opinion that is a bogus excuse. The car should not have the features if they are unable to coexist. The dealership has also attempted to reassure me that nothing is wrong with the car and it is safe to drive even while the tpms light is flashing. I do not believe this either as i constantly have a safety feature alerting me to believe otherwise. I have told the dealership and hyundai headquarters that i believe this car is a lemon on several occasions. They informed me that a car is only a lemon after having the same issue fixed 3 times. Thus far i have had my tpms fixed twice. I do not feel safe at all driving this car with dysfunctional features.
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.
First incident happened in april of 2014. Pulling out of my driveway the power steering went out. Called the dealership, made an appointment for the following week to bring my car in and it had only happened once at low speeds. Power steering went out 2 more times during the day, called the dealership back and informed them i was bringing my car in at that moment as i felt unsafe. On my way to the dealership driving down the highway, the power steering gave out on me while exiting the highway going 75 mph. I was able to get off and luckily the dealership was right off the exit. The eps light was on and it threw a code. They told me my steering column was bad. They replaced it and all was fine. Then i had an issue with my factory installed remote start a few months later. They told me a circuit was blown and it had to be replaced. Now this year (may of 2015) i have had the remote start and the power steering go out on me once again. My car is in the shop, was told i needed steering column replaced again. I refused this answer, and they are digging deeper and have figured out there is an electrical problem with my car. I have had a loaner car for 4 days and they still are no closer to figuring out what is wrong.

Vehicle is not safe nor am i being told what's going on. If technician cant diagnose a confirmed issue by their engineer then why is vehicle still at service center and why are they not calling to advise after 43 days.
I tried to start my 2013 hyundai elantra limited. The brake pedal would not depress and the car would not start but made an electronic clicking noise. This has been an issue for a couple of years now but becoming more frequent.it has stranded me amd my infant children twice this past year and myself twice. The dealer has made suggestions but none work. Looked online and hundreds of other owners of all models having starting issues. Don't understand whyissue has not been recalled but i'mgoing to have to trade my car in for new one as i need reliable transportation for my children. All instances occurred after vehicle was driven, parked and starting attempts. Please look into this matter.it may have not recieved many complaints on this page, however, online blogs are full of same issue with an large amount of hyundai owners.
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.
2015-key won't release from ignition, replaced under warranty. 2017-same issue, cant reproduce issue, not replaced by dealer. 2018-car won't start, battery replaced. 2019-car won't start. Dash lights come on, car clicking but won't start. Jumpstarted car. While driving after jumpstart the radio intermittently went off. Took in for repair and alternator and battery was replaced. Next day while driving, charging system light flashes on and off twice. 6 days later-car won't start after driving it 3 miles, clicking again and the engine, oil, and charging system light on. Had to walk home in the dark in a high crime city
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.
I just bought the 2013 limited hyundai elantra over the easter weekend, on 3/31/13. Two days after buying it, i noticed the light in the dash showing whether the headlights were on or not was no longer working, but i put it up to the fact i was driving at dawn/dusk and they were probably not "on" even though the driving lights were on and showing as "on". However on 4/6/13 when driving at 10pm at night with the headlights most certainly "on" the indicator light still did not come on.
When attempting to start vehicle the "p" does not show in the information panel and the car will not start.vigorous shaking of the gear selector sometimes allows the "p" to illuminate and then the car will start.the vehicle is not in motion and has been parked in garage.this started in october and happens more and more frequently.
Vehicle was stationary. Check engine light and lack of digital engine temperature gauge alerted driver to issue. Upon inspection at authorized hyundai service center, it was noted that rodents had gnawed through wiring and connectors located in the engine bay.per service center's recommendation, vehicle was considered unsafe to drive, and vehicle was left at service center pending appropriate repairs/replacements. It was noted that the wires that were chewed through were coated with soy-based materials instead of plastic which had been used in earlier models. Service center claims to see this issue at least a few times per month. Rodent deterrent tape is being purchased from honda (who already acknowledges this issue and is current the subject of a class action lawsuit). Tape will be wrapped around wires following repairs.
Used key fob to unlock doors, there was no response. Had to use key to unlock doors. Tried to start car and there was no electrical power. No dash lights, no radio, car did not start. Inspected battery cables, no corrosion, not loose. Got in car and it started. This is second time today it has happened.
This car is equipped with daytime running lights, but there is no way to turn them on without also turning on the parking lights.when the daytime running lights and parking lights are illuminated, the taillights are on and the instrument cluster is dimmed so that it is difficult to read.this creates an unsafe and in some states (california and others) illegal situation if the daytime running lights are turned on.
I was just leaving for work and i tried to start the car, and i turned the key all the light on the dash light up and nothing happen, no sound nothing was turning, i could use the radio and rolls the power windows up and down and i had to remove the key and tried it 2 more times and then it started up with no problems this is the second time this happen and both times i left the car overnight and tried it start it in the morning.
Around 5pm on july 18th after starting up my parked car with no issues i pulled out of a parallel parking spot and made a left turn through a green arrow at the light. I was driving straight and slowly accelerating to about 30mph. I took my foot of the gas a bit to coast. I went to put my foot back on the gas but before i could within about 10sec the car slowed down and came to a halt in the middle of the road. Right as the car was slowing down all of the emergency lights such as check engine and all the other ones on the dashboard flashed. The car was completely shut off. The hazard lights did not even come on. I immediately pressed the break and turned the car back on. It started up immediately and i kept driving. Took car to hyundai dealer who found no issues after running a diagnostic.
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.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While the vehicle was parked, the battery died and the vehicle had to be jumpstarted in order to get to the contact's residence. The battery was replaced and the brake lights remained illuminated. The contact entered the vehicle and could not shift gears even when the brake pedal was depressed. The brake lights continued to remain illuminated at all times. The contact called the dealer (jenkins hyundai in leesburg, florida) and was informed that the vin was not included in a recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 62,000.
Since purchasing the car in 2013, we have had an issue with the parking lights, and sometimes headlights, coming back on after being off for several hours or we wake up to having a dead battery. This has happened over and over. In 2013 i took it to the dealership where we purchased for same problem and/or dead battery. Never happened at dealership. Our security camera has caught it popping on, or like yesterday, out neighbor called us (again) to tell us lights were on. This is with the headlight switch all the way off. We have tried to figure it out but can not. I did report again to hyundai this past february, march, april 2021. Again, the car was parked and off every single time with lights confirmed off to only come on later with car off and still locked. It has to have key in it to start.
The 2013 hyundai elantra was parked in a driveway and turned off, and an electric fire started in it.it burned completely up.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that 0 recalls were under the vin. The failure mileage was approximately 51,486.
Brakes don't want to stop even after i've got them repaired brake lights keep going out even after the bulbs has been replaced
Radio and some sensors in engine not working. Sensors show my engine light on but when checked says there is nothing wrong. The radio will not turn on, fuse was replaced and did not fix the issue. These problems happen with the car is both stationary and in motion
Airbag srs light appeared on dash panel without reason when the vehicle was started in a parked position and has stayed illuminated since first appearing. The light has been present for several months now. Recent diagnostics reported airbag fault (code b134600 driver airbag resistance too high stage #1). Service facility deemed fault is secondary to defective clock spring. The defect causes the airbag system to fail and airbags will not deploy in the event of an accident because of this fault.
2013 elantra gt, 5 years old at 109k miles. We bought it used 3 months ago. The airbag light came on a week ago. The problem is the clock spring in the steering wheel which is a very common issue on this type and year vehicle. There is a service bulletin about this which extends the clock spring warranty to 15k miles and unlimited mileage but the dealership says that our car is not covered under this extended warranty based on the vin. The dealer told us to call hyundai corporate at 800-633-5151 and ask for "good will" warranty coverage which i did and i have a case open# 11648781. The representative on the phone was evasive and not willing to do much. The same with the dealer. The extended warranty nhtsa id number is 10115229, the manufacturer service bulletin # is 5np-e9r9g-08 (attached here). The issue covers 2011-2014 elantra and 2011-2013 sonata models. The clock spring part # is exactly the same between these models. I do not understand why some cars are covered and some not. If this is such a common problem to trigger extended warranty, all cars in the affected years must be covered. The clock spring should last he life of the vehicle, thus the 15 years extended warranty. Hyundai should do good by its customers and fix all affected vehicles. Extended warranty is much cheaper than a full blown recall. One last thing, this problem is also a safety issue since is disables the entire airbag system. The steering wheel controls are also affected, the cruise control button a mixed up, the cancel became set for example which could be quite dangerous. Other buttons don't work at all or all the time. This is my second hyundai vehicle and it looks like it will be the last. Very frustrating.
The electrical volume and controls on the steering wheel went out. The airbag light came on and won't go off
I am not sure if this is related to takata recall.but the electronics controlling the air bag and cruise control are not functioning!the poor design of the steering covers squeeze the wires that are bent into the connector causing these circuits not to function.at this point, the red light for the air-bag is on all the time which means the it will not deploy causing serious damage.this steering cover design is common on all elantra models so we suspect the problem could impact significant number of cars.i managed to test the problem, but pulling the cover off and testing the wires.when the cover is pull away from the body of the steering, the circuit for the cruise control works!hyundai should re-locate the plug where these wires are connected further lower to avoid these wires getting squeezed. And for the current models, a shorter connector could remedy this problem by preventing the wires from getting squeezed.
O2 sensor needs recalibration
Was taking trash to the dump, 1 person's worth, going 5 mph 1/ of mile from my home, car veered to right edge of pavement, and where a bulldozer had drug road edges and broke pavement off, caused me to hit a tree at a very slow speed. I reversed car, backed up 50 ft. And car shut itself off & windshield got extremely hot, and i got out of vehicle, smoke coming from hood area, left my purse, and walked across road to ask for fire extinguisher. Man had just got up, hadn't had coffee ,andinvited me in. I went back outside and saw car was burning, so i stayed on his porch, then front yard. I knew trash may have aerosol canisters, and not worth my life to try to go through fire to save my purse. Cops came (9:45-10:15 am , and said i looked funny and arrested me accusing me of being under the influence of medication. I was not on any medicine and definitely not drinking. Car was a total loss after explosion and i have not had another for over 8 months. I am on disability for fibromyalgia, neuralgia, & osteoporosis, and hollow bones. I fall quite often (one leg is shorter than other). Officer himself drew my blood in a public place, and refused to let me see my attorney 3 times. I never got to use a phone in 2 days. But vehicle was problematic from day 1 , battery would not hold a charge, jump a riding lawn mower , and would just cut off while i was going down the road. Steering was also a problem from day one, like tires were never aligned.
Takata recalls. My radio bluetooth doesn't work nor does the usb. I'm constantly having to change rear lightbulbs. When my car reaches a certain speed it starts to shake. My tire sensor put a hole in my tire. My seat belts will not connect. I'm just had to change the alternator. And the engine makes a ticking sound.
Twice in a month a part my car refused to start both times the hyandai dealer kept the car over night and the next for a week. They could not find what wrong with it. Once the tow guy took it in and put the car in neutral to get it on tow truck....wouldn't you believe it it started right up. The batteries are good and all the electrical items come on .....but no start. My warrant will expire in a couple of hundred miles and i am worried i will not be covered the next time. And there will be a next time. I am a single parent with kids and feel very vulnerable about this.

Unable to insert the key in the ignition no matter how hard we tried.this happened fairly soon after we purchased the car from the dealer; it has happened numerous times and has been towed to the dealer 3 times, but the dealer eventually gets the key in theignition and claims there is no problem "can not duplicate the problem". At one incident the drive of the tow truck hammered the key quite hard in the ignition and forced the key in! i have contacted hyundai motor and they say they can not do anything for me and claim that" this is a common problem, and i need to steer the steering wheel really hard to get the steering mechanism loose" this should not happen with 6 months old car while it is still under warranty.any input or advice would beappreciated. Thank you.
The steering wheel has a click in it . The eps light and traction light came on at the same timewent too the dealership but they said it wasn't a recall on this common problemit happen all at once at city speed
My car was parked on the side of my driveway and on monday morning, i put my key in the ignition and the car cranked but did not want to turn over. The night before, my car was running fine. I'm lucky that it happened at home and not stranded elsewhere. I changed the spark plugs and checked the fuses and sensors and still it did not work. After reading other forums, there were alot of people who were having the same issue. A mechanic told me that i should change the ignition switch. I went to hyundai parts to buy one and the guy who works there told me that the switch is a known issue and is made of plastic that can easily cause cracks or condensation where water can go inside. In addition, he mentioned hyundai knew about this and made an updated part which is made of metal. Knowing that this was faulty and hyundai had hid the information, the ignition switch should have been recalled and replaced free of charge.
Intermittently will not turn over.battery is fine.inhibitor switch was changed, all recalls performed.had the car to the dealer 3 times and they cannot replicate.had it towed there last time.if you fiddle with the shifter, and key long enough (10 minutes or so, it will eventually turn over and start as normal.there has been no help on this, and the dealer keeps charging for diagnostics, even thought the vehicle is under warranty.the problem seems to be extremely more prevalent in the winter or when the temp is below 35 degrees f.
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.
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
When i was driving my car shut off without warning. This is the 4th time this has happened. I took it back to todd archer hyundai and they looked at and it told me it was the electrical grounds but it just happened again. Please help. Im in the military and i need my car for work. The car is unsafe they won't swap it out. Initially it was a demo car.
Takata recall i have recently had my airbag light come on on my car. I have waited a month or two and the light will not go off. I have done numerous amounts of research and found out that this is an extremely popular malfunction with hyundai sonatas and hyundai elantras from the year of 2012. The problem happened right after i rolled over my 100,000 mile warranty so it was covered no longer. This is a safety concern to many people as this is a very popular car. I've had diagnostics done on my car and told it was the clock spring that has malfunctioned. Reviews also have the same malfunction.
I parked my vehicle in a shopping center in a space with a veryslight incline.(3-4 degree). I shut off the engine, but was distracted and the car was left in drive.this vehicle has a remote lock/unlock and start/stop key.the key dropped from my pocket and onto the drivers seat and as i exited the vehicle it started to roll backwards. I ran to the back to prevent it rolling into another vehicle and a car coming toward me saw i was in trouble and the driver got out and ran to my front door and quickly put the car in park.i think this is a very dangerous situation that the car could roll with the engine off and the car in drive. The remote key having dropped on the seat made it difficult to re-enter the closed door without pushing the buttons to unlock and if it hadn't been for help from another driver the car would have crashed.i am a fit 73 year old, but an older driver would easily panic.the car should not be able to roll with the engine off and the remote key system needs to be reviewed.
At 11:15am i was driving south bound on i-294 mile marker 29 going about 60 mph in the fast lane on the left.when all of a sudden my engine light, battery light, and all the lights on the dash board lit up, at the exact same time my car began to spin.i began to spin 360 degrees, into 2 of the right lanes as i turned the steering wheel i began to spin 3 lanes back to the left.by the time i stopped spinning i had spun into the emergency lane facing south.fortunately the speeding cars were able to dodge hitting me and i ended up in the emergency lane without hitting the median strip or any cars or truck.my car appeared to be in perfect condition except my dash board lights were lite but i had noticed that the heat went off simultaneously with the lights on the dash board turning on.i had never had anything like this happen before.i called 911 and a state trooper came along with i-dot who advised me to call for a tow and they pulled off leaving me in a dangerous spot with no hazard lights in the light drizzle.it began to rain and eventually snow. After2 hours i called *999 to inform them that i was still on the side of the road and that cars wouldn't be able to see me due to the sleet and the slight fog it was creating.i also let them know that the tow company didn't want to tow me from the left side of the highway.i-dot came, tried to jump my car, and then left me to wait for the tow truck. After a total 4 hours the tow truck finally arrived and towed me to pep boys.once at pep boys they stated that my battery was dead but my alternator was working properly.they replaced the battery and i drove home 6 miles without incident. My hyundai gave me no warning and turned off while driving on the highway for no apparent reason.i blessed to have escaped death and a massive truck and car pile-up on i-294 right outside of chicago.
Purchased a new 2013 hyundai elantra gls 4 door.once a person turns on their daytime running lights all of the vehicles parking lights turn on as well. No other car manufacture has mandated all this illumination during daytime hours. On august 3rd 2012 at 11:40am i was issued a moving violation by a los angeles police officer in the city of van nuys, c.a. I was cited for violating california vehicle code section 24800 which states "no vehicle shall be driven at any time with the parking lamps lighted except when the lamps are being used as turn signal lamps or when the headlamps are also illuminated". I explained the scenario to my lawyer and he advised me that the citation is valid because in c.a. The word headlamps in vc section 24800 is interpreted by the courts as the vehicles primary source of forward illumination and daytime running lights do not fall into this primary source category. To avoid future citations i highly recommend that if you operate any 2013+ hyundai product do not use the daytime running light feature because the parking lights will light up and you will be subject to a citation. I advised hyundai via a recorded phone call about this problem. If they do not take proper action to correct this they will be considered negligent.
Car loosely steered barely off road, 1/8 mile from home,bumped tree 15' away, backed up, engine shut off (as usual since day 2 of lease), windshield heated to over 150 degree's in 35 degree weather, so i vacated car, which was in flames 2-3 minutes and burned to ash..had 5 months, daily problems, battery, fuses, ignition, numerous calls to dealer, shop, no help, could easily have died in firetrap alive, car dove itself, when & where it pleased, and was uncontrollable.even hyundai motor finance has not paid on gap coverage in 11 months, ruining my credit to boot, and was over financed past legal limits, on a total new lemon and not only was car not replaced as promised,i cannot get a response from hyundai, or hyundai finance.,this was the biggest mistake of my life, and i will tell everyone to never purchase a hyundai product. You should be ashamed.and lose your franchise license.i will have to sue to ever begin to be compensated for all you have done to me, and because of your product.
As i am driving the car the tire pressure light comes on and starts flashing and at the same time the radio and the clock shut off.the tire light stops flashing within thirty seconds to a minute.i also can not use my key fob to lock my doors until the car has reset.usually car will reset between five mintues to an hour.(where i can play the radio and see the clock etc,)this is starting to happen more and more now.the car is four years old.i have taken it to the dealer and they couldnot find anything wrong with it.i am starting to get tired of this and want it to stop. I was really upset that dealer could not find anything wrong with the car; when clearly it has a problem with it.has anyone else had this problem?
My car air bag light came on 3 weeks ago. It hasn't turned off. The air bag light stays on while i'm driving, and when i'm in park.
The airbag light came on and i got it diagnosed and it was the clock spring. The clock spring needed to be replaced and the tech said that the clock spring itself wasnt broken, just that it shorted out. This should be covered under the warranty since this is a safety issue. I googled this problem before i got it fixed and there was a consensus that elantras have an issue with the clock spring. Hyundai did a partial recall of elantras within 2011-2014 for this issue, but my vehicle wasn't included in this recall. The light would generally stay on but would occasionally turn off on the highway, but then back on.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving 54 mph, the service indicators illuminated, the headlights failed to illuminate, and the steering wheel seized. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and attempted to turn the headlights on and off, but they failed to respond. The contact continued driving, but the vehicle stalled and failed to restart. The vehicle was pushed to the contact's residence. The contact called van hyundai (1301 s interstate 35e, carrollton, tx 75006, (972) 437-8334), but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was not available.
For a year straight the car has been shutting off on my while i'm driving on the street's. This is very hazardous because it randomly happens. The car will just shut off as if it lost battery power while still in driving gear. When restarting the car it can sometimes take awhile because it will make a clicking noise like there is either a problem with the engine or starter for the car. When this happens occasionally the check engine light will come on.
I am the only owner of my 2013 hyundai elantra that i bought brand new.i have had several issues electrical with lighting turning on and off - i thought i was burning through bulbs quickly but i can go over a bump and brake lights or interior lights will start to work again. This has been ongoing. I recently started hearing a loud engine knock which the hyundai dealership told me is normal and would go away once it warmed up.turns out when i took it to a mechanic who is honest and know what he is talking about that it is a wrist pin....which means a whole new engine. My car is now just out of warranty and hyundai does not want to assist even though there are many cases with 2013 hyundai motors that are bad. There should be a recall on this but isn't. The nhtsa should step in and make hyundai do the right thing.
I bought this car used in june of this year.about a month after purchasing, i started having problems with the car not wanting to accelerate and then car losing power completely on interstate.my father came and the car started right up and drove fine.two weeks later same thing.my mother came to get me and when she got there, there was no power to car but keys were stuck in on position and car was still in gear as i had to pull emergency brake to get the car to stop.the car would not start and we had the car towed to local hyundai dealer.my mother told tow truck driver that battery would most likely be dead as the car had been sitting in on position waiting for tow and then trip to dealer.dealer stated bad battery and car was out of gas.although no gas was added to car but they performed all their tests and updates to ecm per manufacturer with car out of gas (but running).replaced battery and came out of work not long after and car would not start.i hit steering wheel in frustration and tried again and car started.drove it home, left it in accessory position, lost power.did same thing as before with hitting steering wheel, started again.recently moved away to college, drove it all day, went back to my parent's house for a couple hours went to leave and the keys would not turn (could not even get steering wheel unlocked), it sat overnight at my parents for at least one night maybe two while i drove my mother's car.the original dealer came to take it back and see if he could figure it out, started the first time he tried to start it.turned it off and tried again and he could not get steering wheel to unlock and key to turn, waited a couple minutes and tried again and it has been running fine since.the dealer i bought it from is willing to let me trade the car back to him for something else if i can find something i want but i love my car.
Security system goes off when the car is locked every couple hours no one around the car. If the car is left unlocked it doesn't happen
Vehicle will not start despite a charged battery and following proper starting procedures.the vehicle is a push-to-start vehicle.this has happened multiple times.after a time (10-15 minutes), and trying different techniques, it does start.this is an issue with multiple hyundai elantra owners, whether it is push-to-start or keyed ignition.
Engine light came on car started to skip took two certified mechanic change spark plugs two condensers engine flush and the enginestart rattling engine broke loose now engine is destroyed or after a tuneup. Took back immediately and to a different mechanic for second opinion.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving approximately 50 mph, the electrical power seized and the esc warning indicator illuminated. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000. The vin was not available.
Our cruise control (cc) switches on the steering have stopped working!the behavior was un-predicable and dangerous forwhile when hitting cancel button would "engage" the cc.this is a serious safety issue since it could cause accidents.i believe this is due to the poor design on the connector that connects the wires from the cc switches to the steering case. The connector is placed right under the horn cover and we believe the connector gets squeezed every time the horn is used.i tested this myself and was able to get the cc to work after lifting the horn covers forward section which reducedthe pressure from the connector right underneath it!when i did this, hitting the cc.once again this is a serious safety issue cause drivers could assume they are disabling the cc, when they could actually be activating cc which will cause accidents.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start intermittently. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.
This is concerning the same vehicle as in my previous complaint: 10507443.while driving into work on 4/8/13, i put the front and rear defoggers on. Later when i went to switch them off, they wouldn't. I thought maybe there was a timer. I waited five minutes and then was able to switch off the rear defogger. I still was unable to switch off the front. I pushed all the bottoms to switch the air position and even turned the entire a/c-heating system off -the defogger stuck "on" and would not shut off until i shut everything down. I have reported both this and the previous incident to the dealer i bought the car from, and am hoping to schedule maintenance within the week.
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.
I drove my 2013 hyundai elantra tuesday evening and parked it at 9pm. Went to start my car to go to work at 730am and it would not start. All of the lights came on, headlights and radio worked the car just would not start. I tried to start it 5 more times, it is push start. I called and had my car towed that evening, the tow guy came and put it in neutral and it started right up. I still had the car towed because i have had so many electrical issues with this car. It has been at the hyundai dealership for 4 days now and no one can tell me what is wrong with it. It has started a couple times for the dealership but not consistently. I keep calling and asking what the issue is but they have no idea what it is. I have read numerous comments about the same issue with this car. This needs to be a recall this is not fair to us as hyundai customers. This should be recalled and paid for by hyundai.
Air bag light came on and buttons on steering wheel no longer work. Many other elantra owners have made complaints about this but nothing has been done. They want me to pay to fix a safety issue with the air bags and it happened before i hit 60000 but couldn't get in until later so they used that to not fix it on there on dime.
My son was driving home from work one morning and he said he began to see a light glow from inside the accessories compartment above the shifter. He stated a couple of seconds later it melted away and flames were coming from the hole. I have not taken it to the dealer yet due to them telling me they are busy and it would be about a week before they could get it in.
Car will not start! everything comes on lights radio n etc. I had my battery check it great. Can't find a solution. I have been out several times and this has happened. I have lost income because of this issue.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. Upon starting the vehicle, the ignition was inactive and the vehicle would not start. The contact stated that roadside service was able to start the vehicle. In addition, the vehicle accelerated on its own. This was a recurring failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 17,840.
I was getting off the freeway on the off ramo and came to a red light. When the light changed green my car died and i was in left turn lane. I couldn't move the car forward. I didn't have ac and the car would not start at all.
My brake lights do not work, i've had them replaced 3 times. My rpms do not work when i push the gas, the vehicle won't go more than 20 mph, when changing my gears, it doesn't work, and when i am at a stop light or just sitting in a parking lot with the vehicle running it turns off on it's own. When i try to start the vehicle it won't turn most the time.
The parking light come on randomly.even when the switch it turned to the off position.this causes the battery to run down. The only way to shut them off is to disconnect the battery cable.when 1st noticed the vehicle had not been driven for three days.it has happened several times since i first noticed it.several other hyundai owners have reported the same problem.mostly with parking lights , but a few said it was their brake lights.
When reaching 45-50 mph, steering became so loose that it was difficult to stay in my lane. Pulled over to see if there were any apparent problems with the tires, but none were seen. Tried driving again, same problem occurred at about the same speed (noticed it around 40 mph this time). Could not continue trip; had to be towed 50 miles back to indianapolis. Have an appointment with the dealership tomorrow (closed for thanksgiving holiday today).traction control had briefly engaged about 10 minutes earlier on a slick area, but seemed to be an appropriate response, and the light went off. Not sure if this is related.
Car will not start. The immobilizer icon shows up in the dash and both smart key fobs do not work. Called hyundai customer service and could not do anything but refer me to the nearest dealership.. Dealer promised to call back but never did.
The indicator light continues to go off and on because the door is being indicated as open. It subsequently unlocks the doors and turns the dome lights repeatedly on and off again. This causes a safety concern because i don't know what other car functions turn off if the door is "open".
I'm writing to notify you of my reoccurring issue on my 2013 hyundai elantra.upon purchasing my vehicle on or about 5,000 miles, my car would have false starts.i brought the issue up during one of my early maintenance visits at danbury hyundai which was on december 1, 2012, in which they stated to me that they were my headlights. Any individual with common sense knows transmission and starter issues have no correlation to headlights.in any event, my car began not igniting at all on or about 56,000 miles (video footage of this will be provided if needed). Prior to this, it would have false starts occasionally throughout the year but never on a daily basis until recently.i've had my car towed twice in the month of august to danbury hyundai and both occasions they said there is nothing they can do for me.as you can imagine, having lemon of a car since the purchase is extremely frustrating and i warn everyone around me to never purchase a hyundai unless you want to pump your gas and wait an hour for your car to start, if that's the kind of reliability you want then go for it. On september 9th, 2015, my car was returned to me and was working properly until yesterday september 16th.please be advised that at 4:08 p.m. Leaving work my car would not recognize the gears and would not start and at 7:19p.m. The same issue occurred.google search yielded others with my car who have the same issue! these are brand new cars being issued!! http://www.carcomplaints.com/hyundai/elantra/2013/electrical/engine_wont_turnover_wont_start.shtmlhttp://www.hyundai-forums.com/md-2011-present-elantra-sedan-coupe/161056-2013-elantra-will-not-start.htmlhttp://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t40609_ds554427
Car would not start. After a few attempts with holding the key on start position it would start as normal. It was taken to local dealership who state the engine ground wires were corroded. It's a 2013 elantra when asked what caused the corrosion , the dealership stated they didn't know but they have had 8 other vehicles with the same issue this month. I'd be concerned this could become a fire hazard and it cause the vehicle to shut off while running. Thank you for your time.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I have noticed that my vehicle's airbag light is turning on and off while the vehicle is in motion on a city street and on highways. I do not know what triggers it to turn off and on. It also turns on and off while the vehicle is not in motion. I believe this is a major security issue because if i am involved in a major car crash and the airbags are not on then i will not be secured.
I purchased a 2013 hyundai elantra se coupe on 13 april 2013 (6300 miles).on 9 may 2013 (7000 miles) i entered car to start it and battery completely dead.called hyundai roadside assistance and they sent someone to jump it.car started and took it to motorworld wilkes-barre where i had purchased car.they turned car off and waited 5 hours. Car started again and the man in service told me that he could not do anything since the battery was fine and he didn't see any issue. If i wanted battery or sensors replaced, i would have to pay out of pocket for it. I was told if it happened again, have it towed in without letting it be jump started. Only diagnostic done was check of battery which read as no problem.on 26 may 2013, (7400 miles)again i went out to start car and again it would not start.as i could not miss work and it was memorial day with service dept at dealership closed, had car jump started and went to dealership on my lunch break.while there, salesman who sold me car had me turn off the automatic setting for headlamps.when i did that, it also caused the steering wheel controls for blue tooth and radio control to no longer function. I was told there was recall on brake stop switch? that was not apparently corrected before selling me the car. The car has electrical wiring issues. It doesn't take an electrical engineer to know that the steering wheel controls should not be run through the headlamps switch and that the headlamps switch is faulty when it is causing a drain of battery when it is set to shut off lamps when ignition turned off.tomorrow the 27 may 2013, i will be back at dealership demanding this is repaired or they replace the car as i have owned it approximately 6 weeks and have had this issue 2 times with 7400 total miles on car.
I purchased this vehicle in june 2013. I had no complaints until july of 2014, wherein my car picks and chooses when to start. I have looked online and there are many others who seem to have this complaint. I finally gave in on aug. 24, after my car sat for two days because i could not get it to start. I called the hyundai 24 hour roadside and had them tow it to the nearest dealership. The tow truck driver initially tried to start it, and it didn't. He popped the button nearest the top of the shifter and pressed it in, and put the car in neutral, it then started but sputtered like it wanted to turn off. He was able to drive the car onto the tow truck.the next morning, i spoke with the mechanic at the dealership who indicated that the car was starting for them just fine. He said there are so many sensors that it could be one, but they wouldn't know where to start as there are so many and could not make an educated guess. He wanted to keep it overnight to see if it would act up for them. It is now 2pm two days later and the mechanic claims there is still no issue, he said they have let it run all morning and it is fine. This has become ridiculous, especially when i see so many others with the same complaint, yet nothing being done. Help, nhtsa!
Electric steering coupling defective. Car has only 33k miles on it. Unsafe to drive. Mechanic reports this is a common problem with year,make and model of car. I noticed too much play and clunking in steering while stationary andin motion. Car bought from dealership july 3, 2019.. I had car repaired before further damage occurred.
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!
For the sixth time my car wont start.it happens at random times and is very annoying. I am sick of the dealership saying that the car started right up for them or they cant find anything wrong.i have had the battery replaced and it has been fixed for a campaign. All my electric stuff turns on with no problem. Now i am currently missing a day of work that is going to be unpaid.
The car experienced (1) poor acceleration, (2) check engine light come on, (3) engine stalling, (4) tachometer drops to zero.it was first found the map sensor was faulty. After the sensor was replaced, the car ran but stalled again intermittently. It was found the problem was caused by crank shaft position sensor (fault code p0335). After the senor was replaced about three weeks ago, the car has been running fine.
At less than 5 years of use the "clock-spring" located in the steering column became "defective" causing the srs idiot light to illuminate and indicating the entire srs system is shutdown. This vehicle is less than 5 years of age with a defective critical safety component failure that hyundai refuses to cover for any reason other than force by government agency. This component is not external but rather well protected and not susceptible to fluids, or external forces other than its normal operation of simply turning with the steering wheel. This component connects the steering wheel airbag to the srs system however instead of simply disabling the steering wheel airbag, it's failure disables all the airbags as well as any other safety device connected to the srs system. Through no fault of the owner or the operator of the vehicle, the srs system can shutdown while driving with no audible indication other than a small idiot light on the dash which can easily be unnoticed. If a crash situation occurs, the operator of the vehicle can be seriously injured or killed due to no airbag deployment. I contend this part in this vehicle has been poorly designed and manufactured and becomes defective long before the vehicle has been removed from service. This part, at the very least, should be paid for by hyundai. Furthermore a study of existing clock-springs used by this manufacturer should be studied as this is not a first for this part and this manufacturer. Attachment doc shows repair, part number, and cost of repair. Furthermore, this item should not be a mileage warranty part...the life of this part is based on how many times the steering wheel is turned, not how many miles the car is driven..a city car will have much more turns than a highway vehicle.
Vehicle keeps shutting off/ stalling. First dealer claimed it was a yaw rate sensor. Sensor was changed and did not solve issue. It was also experiencing fuel pump problems, gas would leak when filling and gas would not calculate mileage or update. Second dealer did not see a fuel pump problem. Now believes its a ecm problem. They did not want to cover it under warranty.
Certain steering wheel controls -- including the volume controls and bluetooth phone controls -- stopped working. A few months later, more steering wheel controls -- such as other audio and media controls -- stopped working.a year later, the ability to change the steering tension, from comfort to normal to sport, stopped working.within the past year, the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel have stopped working, and the red airbag light is on continuously. Although hyundai has issued a recall for certain 2011-2014 elantra vehicles, and my vehicle meets that year range and model, the dealership will not cover replacing the airbag clock spring assembly because my vin does not match their criteria. As such, the dealership has quoted $480 to fix my vehicle's airbag clock spring assembly.if my vehicle experiences the same airbag safety issues that covered vehicles have experienced and which prompted the recall, my vehicle also should be covered under the extended clock spring warranty.
Theyre was a recall on,my brakes in 2016 the hyundai shop said it was already fixed and now i have to pay but it has messed up again i have no brake lights.i didn't tv notice if i,bought it this way or just happened
The 2013 hyundai elantra's eps light locks my steering wheel mid driving. The traction control light also comes on simultaneously, causing me to be unable to steer at an array of speeds.
Car was parked and locked with all systems off. Later i noticed brake lights on. Called hyundai and informed them inquiring if there was a recall about this problem. They told me to take to dealer and have them perform diagnostic to determine cause. They said it was brake light switch.dealer changed switch(2),relay. Problem still exist.
As i am driving the car on city streets, highways etc. The tire pressure light comes on and starts flashing and at the same time the radio, navigation system. Bluetooth. Blue link monitoring system, as well as sensors/monitoring equipment shutting down and resetting and other systems shut down. I also can not use my key fob to lock my doors until the car has reset. Usually the car will reset between five mintues to an hour. Concern that the issue will intensify with the sudden shut down of the engine resulting in a potential life threatening to myself and others.the car has been taken into the dealer numerous times over the past 9 months, without any success in correcting the issue.the issue cannot be replicated when the car is in the shop.i have been told by hyundai usa this is not a safety issue since the dealer cannot replicate and diagnose the cause. Other persons have reported similar issues with no solution and receiving the same guidance from hyundai consumer affairs.issues have occurred.i have had the car into the dealer @ 6 times for assessment since october 15, 2017 through present.the issues have occurred at a variety of speeds, 30mph up to 65-70 mph on the highway.
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 tome 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.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the key was difficult to turn over and start the vehicle. The contact had to make several attempts to get the key to turn over in the ignition. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle also hesitated while driving various speeds. The vehicle was taken to the authorized dealer where it was diagnosed that the battery had low voltage and needed to be replaced. The dealer did not provide an in-depth diagnosis and only replaced the part. The contact also continued to experience the vehicle being difficult to shift out of park into other gears and that the failure was progressing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000. Updated 09/08/15*ljupdated 10/26/2017
My 2013 hyundai elantra with approx. 75,000 miles, and no mechanical or cosmetic issues, caught fire while parked and turned off for 10 minutes at tavern in the square restaurant in lowell, ma.patrons who were parked nearby heard what sounded like electrical sparks and then witnessed smoke coming from the hood which then burst into flames.they ran in to retrieve my family and i and the fire department came within 10 minutes to extinguish the flames but the car was completely destroyed by that time.i have videos and pictures that can be forwarded to you. I have attempted to contact hyundai customer service but was on hold for 40 minutes and immediately disconnected before speaking to anyone. This has been extremely stressful emotionally and financially.the car was in our garage just 30 minutes prior and this could have been much worse.there is obviously a history of issues with some other hyundai vehicles which i wasn't aware of until now but i don't see that my car was listed as a possible recall for electrical fires.it was my only mode of transportation and every penny i earned was used to purchase this vehicle less than one year ago.i do not have insurance that would cover this situation so this is a total loss. Please let me know how to proceed and also where to forward the video and photo details.
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).
Brake lights keep burning out and have been changed several times in one year.i was told it is the electrical wiring on the brake lights.
I purchased a new 2013 elantra gt in may of this year. A week after taking it home the tire pressure light went off while driving. We pulled over & immediately blue link sent an alert telling me a malfunction in my tpms was found & to take the car to service asap. Took it to the dealership & was told that is was a simple learning failure. Reset code & was sent on my way. The next week the car did the same thing with the tpms. Back to the dealer it went.had it scanned again. Was told nothing was wrong & they cleared the codes thru blue link. I was then told to just ignore it & it should be ok. Mostly it is just electronically interference. I parked the car & used my husbands car for a while.i start using my car & going down 295 it happened again. Pulled over & blue link sent the alert again.called the dealership & made an appointment. I was told that they had a certified hyundai professional technician that was going to look my car over.after 4 hrs of waiting i was given a paper asking me not to use electronics in the car as this was causing my tpms issue. They paper was dated march 2007. Really? at that point i was frustrated so i called hyundai corp office. After an hr conversation i was told to take it to another dealership for service. So that friday off the car went to another dealership. At the dealership i was told that the car needed an alignment bad & that my tires were over inflated by 8lbs each. So 3 hrs & a lot of patience i was told the car was all set.20 mins after leaving the dealership the tpms light goes off again with the blue link alert to service the car asap. The following day back to the dealership again. This trip i was told i needed a sensor changed. 3 hrs later i leave & half way home tpms again. That's 5 times no repair. Now they can't provide me a loaner but want to keep the car overnight. Car has been parked for 2 weeks waiting.
Takata recalll. My car does not crank, but the dash lights up as if it is going to crank.makes a clicking noise when trying to crank it.
Over the past 11 month this car has had several incidences where it just will not start.on a few occasions it started after a couple of tries and a few occasions where it would not start when i needed it to but had no problem starting an hour or two later.this weekend was the biggest issue.i parked my car friday evening with no indication that there was an issue but on saturday the car would not start, later on saturday the car would not start, sunday the car would not start.hyundai roadside assistance sent someone out to jump my car but the car would not start.they sent out a tow truck to take the car to the dealership and he used the shift override to put the car in neutral and the car started right up once it was in neutral and it drove just fine.when this issue occurs the instrument panel lights up but when i turn the key to start the car, the panel goes out and there is nothing but silence from the engine.the last time it happened i took the car to the dealership but they said they could not duplicate the issue so there was nothing they could do because it is not causing any codes to go to the computer.
On or about 10/20/2016 my car all of a sudden would not start, i was working out in the field went into a patients home and the car as i turned the ignition key, nothing happened. 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, calledlutes 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.
For the last week after sitting overnight my car will not start. I get in while its parked stationary on the street, turn the key, all the lights come on, i can hear the fuel pump kick on, (there is no click), and nothing happens. After i repeatedly turn the key it has been starting but i am afraid it will just not start at some point. Called the dealer where i purchased they car, they said to call the hyundai dealer. Called hyundai dealer, they said they have not heard anything about the problem and would have to replicate problem (there are complaints all over the internet about this problem) they said i would have to leave the car with them, with no chance of a loaner (i cannot afford to uber 26 miles a day). I told them once i get it started for the day, it usually starts right back up after being turned off. I took a video of the problem this morning. It had the same trouble starting this morning when cold, and then when i got to work, 13 miles away, i turned it off and attempted to start it, it did the same thing (thats why i obtained the video of the issue). I am going to have to borrow a family members car to drive while they diagnose this widely reported problem they have "never heard of". I owned a 2007 elantra since it was new and just sold it to buy this piece of garbage.. I never had one issue in 13 years of ownership. Hyundai needs to take accountability and recall this issue.
Car will not start. Everything turns on , radio, lights, bluetooth works, but the engine does not turn over. Has happened multiple times and continues to happen. Have not found a solution yet.
While driving my vehicle at highway speed, the vehicle suddenly stalled without any apparent reason. I was in the middle lane of a three lane highway. I had to coast over to the side of the highway with no steering or brakes due to the engine failure. Once at the side of the highway, the vehicle re-started immediately and ran normally again for about a week when the same thing happened again, this time on a side street at approximately 15 mph. The vehicle once again started back up with no problem. It has run normally again as of this posting. Updated10/23/2014
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the tail lights needed to be replaced due to the rear brake lights remaining illuminated even when the vehicle was turned off. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v574000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The vehicle was taken to conicelli hyundai (located at west 1208 ridge pike, conshohocken, pa 19428, (610) 624-2029) where it was diagnosed that the failure was due to wear and tear. The rear tail lights were replaced; however, the failure recurred. The contact also stated that the wiring harness in the tail lights melted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000. The vin was not available.
Snow predicted. Left home to go run errands at 9:30 am, car looked showroom new, got 1/2 mile, car pulled itself right (as it has previously) and bumped a small tree, no damage. Car backed up to roadside 10', car cut itself off (as it had before), windshield went from 30 degrees to 450 degrees in 3 seconds. I left my purse (with $1200 in it) and everything and fled across road to save my life. Asked man there if he had a fire extinquisher, he didn't, asked me to stay because it was so cold, and i said no, i wanted to check my car and in that 60 seconds, i walked out and stood in his driveway and car was totally a blaze. It happened so quickly i would not have survived had i not fled the vehicle the car from day 2 rarely cranked, often cut off going 5-55 mph, pulled off road to right, and scared me speechless. Like it was haunted and drove itself. I only had it 4 months. It was a death trap and should never have been put on the highway.for some reason, i got arrested, i was totally sober and had no medication in my system. Trooper had a breath alyzer, never used it. Cuffed me very tightly, read me no rights, and took me to station entrance. He grabbed my arm and drew blood (illegally) , no phone call, finally read my rights, and denied me seeing my lawyer 3 times. Illegally. For 3 days & nights, i was never allowed a phone call or code, am disabled and have osteoporosis & had to sleep on a 1/4" of flat plywood, though my joints don't touch, i have restless leg syndrome & must sleep elevated, it was impossible. I also went without any of my prescriptions 3 days. All because this scary car burned to bent metal with no dash, no engine or parts, no tires, seats, nothing. So not only was i in shock, out of any contact without my prescriptions, and had to pay $475 bond, though i only get $969 , this car ruined my life over a year ago, and i haven't had a car since.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated while driving 55 mph, the traction control warning light illuminated and the vehicle decelerated. The vehicle was making an abnormal sound. The contact switched to econ mode and the vehicle operated as designed. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer nor an independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The local dealer was made aware of the failure and the contact was awaiting a callback from the dealer. The contact researched the failure online and related the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 20v061000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the vin was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 44,000.
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!
There are several issues with this vehicle1. 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!
Bought this car new as a closeout on may 30th 2014. I was on interstate 57 going south about 60 miles out of paducah ky driving the posted speed limit with the cruise control on. With no warning the car went to the left across 3 lanes and then back to the right 3 lanes and again to the left 3 lanes before i could regain control. The semi behind me just about jack knifed trying to avoid hitting me. It was only because the traffic was very light and the semi and i were the only ones on the road in that area at the time this happened, or there would have been a major accident. I took the car to the dealer in paducah they said it was my brakes, they cut the routers. I could not drive the car even after the repair over 55 mph as it would wander to the left and to the right. When i returned to my home state i took the car back to the dealer and told them to return it to hyundai. I was told by the dealer that they never heard of this ever happening to anyone else. I have seen reports of others having the same problem so this is a cover up by hyundai. The steering on the hyundai is bad! there needs to be a major recall on this electronic steering. The complaints are from sonata owners also.
My 2013 hyundai elantra limited has the swerving problem. Any time i'm on an uneven patch of road or a bump, it's like i lose control of my car. You have to keep 2 hands on the wheel at all times to try & keep some control.i do not feel safe doing my weekly drive from de to ny!!
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving 30 mph, the electronic stability control indicator illuminated asthe brake pedal failed to engage. The vehicle was taken to patrick hyundai (1020 e golf rd #1, schaumburg, il 60173) where diagnostic testing was being performed, but no repairs were completed. The manufacturer was notified and verified that there were no recalls for the vin. The diagnosis results were not provided. The failure mileage was 32,000.
Eps and esc lights came on and vehicle lost power steering. Problem is intermittent. Vehicle towed to dealership. Dealership is unable to replicate issue at this time. No fault codes found by dealership service dept. Dealer advised they will test vehicle again today (12/11/14) to try to replicate issue. Issue occurred several times (8 to 9) over a 24 hour period. Very dangerous situation as condition occurs randomly. Eps light will turn off and esc light stayed illuminated. Vehicle recovered on its own when eps light turned off.both lights were off the following morning when towed to dealership after sitting overnight. Condition has occurred while making a u-turn, pulling out of drive way, and while making left and right turns.
Car will not start! everything comes on lights radio n etc. I had my battery check it great. Can't find a solution. I have been out several times and this has happened. I have lost income because of this issue.
Around 40,000 miles the car randomly would not start, leaving me stranded. I took the car in several times and dealership could not detect an issue. 2nd time i dropped off, a misfire was detected and ignition coils where replaced due to defected coils. I picked up my car and 11 days later the car wouldn't start up again. Its been in the shop for 3 weeks now. Last i heard they are replacing:the shifter assembly, transmission range switch, and brake switch. I have yet to hear if the parts came in and if this will fix the issue. I received a call on 11/3/2016 and now the engine needs to be replaced. There is a serious issue with the car failing to start and hyundai cant even figure it out, as of today they had my car for a total of 25 days and still no resolution. Something needs to be done and recalled. Ive contacted hyundai consumer affairs directly and have a case with them going on. I see several complaints of this same issue happening on this model, i hop this will somewhat help. Be consistent and don't take no for answer, i am still making car payments on something that is not working nor i have is unfair. Since the car is less than 60,000 miles this will be covered under warranty, it should of had to take me 3 times, calling a manger and going to consumer affairsfor them to finally take my issue serious.
I went to apply the brakes and every light on the dashboard lit up and my brakes failed. When i took it to the shop they said it was a bad yaw sensor and a bad g sensor. I dont feel safe in my car anymore and hyundai refuses to do anything about it.
On june 23, 2015, i hit a slight bump in the road as i was slowing to stop behind someone at a red light. Instead of stopping, it slowly continued and rear ended the car in front of me doing about $7,000 damage to the front of my 2013 elantra. The dealer finally finished the repair work and returned the car to me on approximately july 31, 2015. Almost immediately, the esc and eps lights would go on intermittently and stay on for a day or so before returning to normal. I took it to the hyundai dealer last thursday, sept 27, 2015 to reset the computer and set the steering angle sensors which i had read about helping one person in this blog. It was seemingly normal when i took it to them. The car warranty was voided before i got it due to a prior collusion in which a prior insurance company wrote it off as costing more to fix than it was worth. A body shop purchased it and did the repairs and it is now classified a restored salvage title (hence no more warranty) even though was inspected by the state of arizona and deemed completely fixed. I paid to have the computer reset and the steering angle sensors adjusted. The dealer believed this would fix it. Two days later the esc and eps lights went back on and have stayed on for 4 days now. I have a code reader and there are no fault or error codes to clear but the lights stay on. I am somewhat convinced that the steering columns that house the steering angle sensors are faulty. When they malfunction, it makes the eps shut down. A recall to include these would be great. I cannot afford any exploratory repairs at this time and cannot drive the 2013 car. Please help!
I bought my 2013 hyundai elantra gt on september 12, 2014, it had 41053 miles on it. As i left the dealership it was raining very hard and i noticed that it was very difficult to keep the car in my lane; my car was pulling to the right, not only that, i hit a bump or manhole and the bad end of the car fishtailed so bad that i thought i was going to hit the car that was in the right lane. I was driving a few days later, i hit another pothole and the car did that same thing but this time the roads were dry. At this point, i realize that the first incident had nothing to do with the roads being wet, it was the suspension on the car that's causes the car to pull to one side and for it to fishtail the way it does.i did some research and i realized that hyundai owners have complained about this problem for quite sometime but the hyundai corporation fails to acknowledge this as a problem; this is a very dangerous problem. To be honest, i'm a little frighten to drive my car; hyundai corporation needs to acknowledge that there is a suspension problem with the make and model andthey need to do something to correct this problem asap before someone loses their life.
Just arrived at my residence when power steering stopped. Had to force car to turn in my drive. Electronic steering control and electronic power steering warning lights on. Delivered car to dealer on 8/19/2014. Dealer had car for three days for repair. New steering column with angle sensors had to be installed and adjusted. This was a very dangerous situation and the same thing has happened to other owners on this site.
In december 2017 & january 2018 on multiple occasions the cars abs light came on for no apparent reason and the car would not stop as if the brakes were not applied at all. A vibration was noticed like the brakes would in a skidding situation but that was not the case. The failure resulted in a couple few calls and finally an accident . It was brought to the hyundai dealership where we were told there were no failures or codes in the computer to indicate a problem. A week later we received a recall notice from hyundai - nhtsa campaign number 17v-769 (hyundai campaign 170).this was the stopper pad recall and it did fix the problem. Looking at the invoice from the dealer the recall was done but we were never told it was related to the problem. The recall notice did not seem to properly state the serious risk of the problem. It did state it could increase the risk of a crash but also stated "a deteriorated stopper pad does not affect the performance of the vehicle's service brake system".this was found obviously to not be true. I believe the notice should have stated not to drive the car until the recall was completed. We were lucky not to be injured but the car did have over a thousand in damage. We called and emailed the manufacturer but never received a response.
Was taking trash to the dump, 1 person's worth, going 5 mph 1/ of mile from my home, car veered to right edge of pavement, and where a bulldozer had drug road edges and broke pavement off, caused me to hit a tree at a very slow speed. I reversed car, backed up 50 ft. And car shut itself off & windshield got extremely hot, and i got out of vehicle, smoke coming from hood area, left my purse, and walked across road to ask for fire extinguisher. Man had just got up, hadn't had coffee ,andinvited me in. I went back outside and saw car was burning, so i stayed on his porch, then front yard. I knew trash may have aerosol canisters, and not worth my life to try to go through fire to save my purse. Cops came (9:45-10:15 am , and said i looked funny and arrested me accusing me of being under the influence of medication. I was not on any medicine and definitely not drinking. Car was a total loss after explosion and i have not had another for over 8 months. I am on disability for fibromyalgia, neuralgia, & osteoporosis, and hollow bones. I fall quite often (one leg is shorter than other). Officer himself drew my blood in a public place, and refused to let me see my attorney 3 times. I never got to use a phone in 2 days. But vehicle was problematic from day 1 , battery would not hold a charge, jump a riding lawn mower , and would just cut off while i was going down the road. Steering was also a problem from day one, like tires were never aligned.
About 3 months ago my 2013 hyundai elantra became sluggish in accelerating. It has gradually gotten worse. I tried fuel cleaners, premium gas, and now a tune up replacing coil packs and plugs. The vehicle crawls and does not accelerte as quick as it should. It cuts off or refuses to move when givengas at all stops. I switch off then on at red lights as it seems to want to take off when the engine is started. When i reach about 50mph the rpm hand guns and the bottoms out to stay at zero with no change in acceleration. There is now a whirring noise sporadically coming from the engine. After the ti e up the issues continue with cutting off ,rough idling, extremely slow snail accelleration with the engine light on.
Unknown. The brakes are having difficulty holding up on the street while coming to a complete stop. Once stopped or stopping, there is a slight humming noise coming from the front wheels as if the car is having trouble staying in place.the back left tail light occasionally flickers on and off while driving and continues to flicker when tapped. The brake light is completely out now and has been adjusted before without replacement of the bulb. While driving on the street and night there are rare moments were the brake light and tail light will work again. The steering wheel has a hard time motioning and positioning itself when driving from five to twenty mile an hour, when turning and while making a u-turn.nhtsa campaign number: 16v574000
The first incident occurred as i was on an on ramp about to merge on to a highway. The car lost power and acted like it was about to stall -though there was gas (it was about 1/4 full); its an automatic so as far as i could tell it was not in the wrong gear. It revved up but did not gain any speed. Somehow it recovered and i was able to continue without further incident. I am not sure where this falls - but even though we balance and rotate the tires every 5000 miles the car has been pulling to the right. When it is windy or if the road is bumpy you have to grip the steering wheel very tightly to keep it in the lane.
Possible crankshaft sensor failure. Car will not start properly or stalls after starting and shifting gears.happens every few months. New battery, spark plugs and tune up completed july 2018.no alternator/starter issues noted after mechanical testing.
Recall please !!i spent my life savings on this car and it is dangerous to drive.the car fish tails over small bumps and at low speeds. In winter driving its almost out of control and a separate set of snow tires is mandatory so you don't get killed.when it crosses railroad tracks it actually tends to turn on its own onto the direction of the tracks ! if you hit a dip in the road the car seems to lose control. And at highway speeds forget it - it sways across the lanes on its own as if it is constantly catching the wind. I cannot drive it on the highway - i am white knuckled by just a short trip trying to keep control of this car. This car is more of boat then an automobile. If i sell the car my losses will be huge.i got a wheel alignment, tires and took it into the dealer all to no avail and the problem is getting worse as the car is aging too. Basically the dealer said this is the way the car is built too bad so sad.
I was coming off of interstate 95 onto my exitand i applied my brake to slow my car but my brake apparently gave out and was not working . It make a loud sound like it was trying to hold but it didn't and in order to stop my car from hitting any others or people standing at the side of the road i tried steering it toward the closest curb so that i could prevent as much as possible within my power. My airbags didn't deploy but the car hit hard enough that my face slammed into the steering wheel, i sustained a concussion and damaged my face and glasses. I have muscle strains in my back, neck and still a swollen eye and cheek bone.
Purchased my 2013 hyundai elantra new from the dealership.while driving one day the electronic stability control indicator light came on and the can became hard to steer.looked in my operator's manual to see what this light meant, it instructed me to disable the esc by pushing to esc off button which i located and did.this turned the trouble light off, and i continued to drive.however, my vehicle still to this day is hard to steer and control and i have to keep both hands on the wheel.when you turn the steering wheel there is a loud popping sound.have scheduled a service visit, but they want to charge me a large diagnostic fee just to find out what the problem is.searched the internet and found that there are a lot of people reporting this very same issue.hope to hear that they will issue a recall, but probably not until a lot of people get killed.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. When the vehicle was started, the air bag warning indicator illuminated intermittently without warning. The indicator currently remains illuminated. The local dealer (rick case hyundai duluth, 3180 satellite blvd nw, duluth, ga, 30096, 855-254-5290) advised the contact to schedule an appointment for diagnostic testing. The appointment was not scheduled due to the diagnostic fee. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who tried to reset the air bag sensor and diagnosed that the failure was due to the clock spring. The mechanic stated that they could not guarantee that it was the cause of the failure and that it needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that there was no recall on the vehicle. Due to the vehicle being outside of the 60,000 mile warranty, the contact would be responsible for the repair costs. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
Update to ticket # 1119161 - 4 separate appts, with,90 plus days accumulated total at a hyunda service center expanding 21 months and 15000 miles.43 days at current service dept with no update, vehicle continues to stall while driving, electrical malfunctions continue to expand after interior was soaked from a confirmed/repaired defect in sunroof frame. Beyond the ability of service technicians to diagnose, engineer inspected and confirmed vehicle stalling while driving and messed up interior july 2016 from sunroof leak, repairs have been made but vehicle continues to stall while driving, in addition electrical malfunctions continue to devolop that hyundai will not resolve, vehicle was in buyout review with hyundai but was stopped due to my complaint filed which south carolina consumer affairs requesting a repurchase that hyundai denied. Vehicle is not safe nor am i being told what's going on. If technician cant diagnose a confirmed issue by their engineer then why is vehicle still at service center and why are they not calling to advise after 43 days.
I purchased this car at the end of november brand new. About a month ago the warning esc light came on my dashboard and would not turn off. During this time i had minor incidents of the esc turning on for no reason (dry roads). But on this monday i experienced a major incident with esc turning on while i was traveling at 50 mph down a highway (dry roads). All four wheels started braking and i was dragged across the highway and just missing a telephone poll. I was lucky to get the car under control and stopped with me and the car intact. I then called the hyundai roadside assistance to have the car towed back to the dealership where i bought it.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving 30 mph, the esc warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle decelerated from 30 mph to a complete stop. The vehicle was towed to north county hyundai of carlsbad (located at 5285 car country dr, carlsbad, ca 92008, (760) 929-4900) to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code or duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the stabilitrak and traction control warning indicators flashed, the steering wheel made an abnormal noise when turned in either direction, and the vehicle accelerated slowly when the accelerator pedal was depressed. Rancho grande motors (1404 auto park way, san luis obispo, ca 93405, (805) 543-4745) was notified of the failures. The vehicle was currently at the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 39,600.
Car was parked and locked with all systems off. Later i noticed brake lights on. Called hyundai and informed them inquiring if there was a recall about this problem. They told me to take to dealer and have them perform diagnostic to determine cause. They said it was brake light switch.dealer changed switch(2),relay. Problem still exist.
I was in the far left lane of interstate 255 in southern illinois. A tractor trailer was in the process of cutting my off when i honked and he proceed back into his lane. I had brake quickly and with both hands on the wheel when the car lost control and i was swerving within the lane for around2 minutes before i could regain control of the car. I almost clipped another car as well as the median, but barley missed both. I had both hands on the wheel, i did not stomp on the brakes, and yet i still lost control of the car. It also constantly sways to one side as well as the brakes lose grip if you run over any bump at all. You guys need to recall these cars, they are not safe and i am not paying almost 400 dollars a month for a car that could easily injure me in an accident.
I have noticed that my vehicle's airbag light is turning on and off while the vehicle is in motion on a city street and on highways. I do not know what triggers it to turn off and on. It also turns on and off while the vehicle is not in motion. I believe this is a major security issue because if i am involved in a major car crash and the airbags are not on then i will not be secured.
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.
Our cruise control (cc) switches on the steering have stopped working!the behavior was un-predicable and dangerous forwhile when hitting cancel button would "engage" the cc.this is a serious safety issue since it could cause accidents.i believe this is due to the poor design on the connector that connects the wires from the cc switches to the steering case. The connector is placed right under the horn cover and we believe the connector gets squeezed every time the horn is used.i tested this myself and was able to get the cc to work after lifting the horn covers forward section which reducedthe pressure from the connector right underneath it!when i did this, hitting the cc.once again this is a serious safety issue cause drivers could assume they are disabling the cc, when they could actually be activating cc which will cause accidents.
My steering column makes an awful noise like a clicking noise the whole time i'm driving it really scares me but i have to drive it bc it's my only means of transportation. Now my break lights all the way across doesn't work and it's not a fuse.last thing is my airbag light stays on also which scares me .please some one help get these issues resolved quickly i'm the second owner so i probably haven't gotten the recalls about these issues.please please help me .thank you
The esc pitched the car sideways @ 65mph on i-84 s of sturbridge ma. The car has no directional stability as it wanders side-to-side requiring constant steering control.
The esc indicator/traction control activated while i was driving 50 mph.i lost complete control of the vehicle,the car headed straight for a cement guardrail on a bridge.the car decelerated, i was unable to steer and the tires screeched on the ground.i was able to push the esc off button and recover control of the car, avoiding the crash.i knew about the off button only because we have had this problem since june and hyundai was unable to fix it because it did not duplicate for them.previously we were driving at a very slow rate of speed, this time it almost killed my daughter and me!my car has been with hyundai auto-nation, columbus, ga since august 24, 2016i called on august 25 but the car vin # was not asked of me, the complaint ticket number is 1010763the first time the esc activated my husband was driving. The esc turned on, while he was accelerating onto an on-ramp back in june 2016. We turned the car off, researched it on the side of the road, found the "off" button and brought to hyundai the next day and they were unable to fix the problem! a week later the esc turned on in a parking lot while i was driving, hit the esc off button and the car behaved until aug 24th. I called hyundai to report, but since it didn't occur again, they said do not bring it in.on august 24th, the esc came on while i was in a school zone, i hit the off button, i took the off button off, to see if it would activate again so i could bring it into hyundai (they said it had to be malfunctioning at the time of visit to be fixed)it malfunctioned! almost killing my myself and mydaughter!if i hadn't known about the esc off button, i would definitely have crashed!
I had a accident tried to brake quick my brakes skipped and i ended up hitting a van because i couldn't stop
The steering wheel has a click in it . The eps light and traction light came on at the same timewent too the dealership but they said it wasn't a recall on this common problemit happen all at once at city speed
Engine failure. Zero compression cylinder #1. Second time this has happened since purchase on 10/18/2016. Also, tire pressure problem, esc light comes on, dashboard gauges inoperative. Fuel mileage below what is advertised. Neither hundai nor enterprise will fix the problem after repeated demands. Also, there is a recall regarding "stopper pad" and stop lamp switch. Bought vehicle, cash, from enterprise car sales in montclair, ca. It was a "certified" used car, supposedly. Immediately i noticed that the engine sounded "tinny". Sounded like a sewing machine, it was knocking. Also, when i lifted the oil stick, smoke came out of engine. This was within 2 weeks after purchase. The car completely lost compression on interstate 10 in april, 2015. I told both hyundai and enterprise who ignored my complaints. Finally, after several complaints and threats, enterprise took the car in and sent it to hyundai dealership who claimed there was no problem. The car began losing power again in september, 2016 and finally stopped in the middle of the street in arcadia, ca. No compression. It had to be towed to my house. I took it to private shop who said "zero compression in cylinder #1, possible burned out valve '. See attached. Called hyindai and enterprise again. Both denied responsibility, and refused to do anything. I have to now pay over $1,000 to get engine rebuilt. This car is a lemon and i am enttied to refund or a new car.
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
While driving across a bridge, the car's rear will lurch to one side and then back again. It also happens on rough roads. There is one particular bridge that i hate driving over because i know it will happen. I fear that if this happens in slippery conditions, i'll lose control. Reading from others comments, it doesn't appear hyundai will do anything about it. My 2007 didn't have this issue. I'm also having an issue with the engine making a grinding noise on start up. There are youtube vids that show it too. The brakes make a horrible grinding noise. Also the car is difficult to keep in a straight line, you constantly have to make adjustments. I've had many cars, never these kinds of issues. A real disappointment. Wish i had kept my 2007 elantra.
Esc indicator is on on the dash board due to steering anglesensorcircuit-signal issue.
Just bought the 2013 hyundai elantra, 12/21/2019, after about 100 miles of driving we noticed the steering wheel is off center. While driving in town and on highway shifting lanes it didn't want to go and it will pull hard left or right almost causing to run off the road. 12/25/2019, while on the way home i almost struck another car. More noticeable from 30 to 55 worse over 55. Driving on dirt road feels like it wants to fish tail. Steering is sticky yet a lot of play. Intermittingly while braking it sounds like scrapping like when your brakes are bad. Braking slowly or abruptly makes no change. Wet roads is worse with braking.
Rental car, hyundai elantra 2013, from enterprise.vehicle unsafe to drive, can lose steering control very easily, which i experienced first hand during rainy conditions.the other drivers in front and behind me did not have any issues with steering, but this vehicle lost control...updated 07/15/14
This car was purchased for my wife about a month ago and i drive it very little. When i have, the car seems to wonder real bad, much worse on new roads. It is almost like it floats side to side. This last weekend it kept drifting both ways and went off the road several times. The dealer claimed every thing is alright, but i know it should not wander like this.
Brake lights keeps burning out constantly after replacing them.

This is a pubic recall. My car is experiencing the problems that has been warned. I would like to bring my car to get seviced to make sure their are no high risk to me as a driver. Thank you for announcing the problem with the vehicle.
The 2013 hyundai elantra was parked in a driveway and turned off, and an electric fire started in it.it burned completely up.
I am the second owner and bought it from a hyundai dealership with 45k miles on it. The car currently has 53k miles on it and the engine failed. I was driving the car and heard a knocking sound and without warning the car shut off. Luckily i was able to pull over and avoid an accent but had just gotten off the beltway. I got it towed to a aaa certified garage and they said they have seen the problem frequently with hyundai. I had purchased an extended warranty from a 3rd party and luckily the damage is covered under the 3rd party warranty. However, the engine is being replaced by a refurbished/salvaged engine so i won't know whether or not this issue will happen again and it has hurt my resale value because it will now be listed in the carfax.
Taking a corner at 5 mph in 2nd gear, heard a metallic sound from the engine.the engine cut out, lost power steering and brakes.pulled over using the emergency brake to stop.towed car to a hyundai dealer.i was told the top of the piston had a crack in it that developed over time and finally failed.the failure caused catastrophic damage to the engine, which is being replaced under mfg. Warranty.
"takata recall". I went in to find a car. Ran into my hyundai elantra. Ran great did my routine maintenance. Did all my routine checks. Now i'm having to fix or replace my engine do to not covered under warranty. 64,000 miles 2nd owner. I noticed the ticking when i pulled into my driveway with my children and parked, the tick never went away and not one check engine light or oil light came on.now that this became an issue for me, i notice it's happening everywhere.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While the vehicle was idling, a ticking noise was heard underneath the hood without warning. The vehicle was taken to dave hallman hyundai (2104 state st se, erie, pa 16503, 814-452-6731) where it was diagnosed that the engine was faulty and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall for the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.
My wife was driving the car. It was a dark road in the night. Perhaps she didn't see the stop sign and crashed into a vehicle coming from right hand side, going in the same direction my wife was going. My wife crashed the other vehicle from behind.it was serious crash in which the entire front portion of the car is damaged. But the air bags did not come out. My wife had her head hit the steering wheel and had an injury.my complaint is "why did the air bag not inflate in such a serious crash?" ..updated 10/06/14 . Updated 05/13/2015
I was driving the car in heavy traffic when the engine shutdown and was almost run into by several cars behind and beside the car. The cars engine has been determined to be seized up even though there was no warning of either low oil pressure or high engine temp or any engine malfunction indicator. The engine has been regularly maintained. This cold have been a disaster had the driver of the vehicle had not taken heroic measures to get the vehicle safely pulled over and stopped. This action could have caused the driver and possibly the other vehicles beside and behind serious injuries and or possibly a fatality. I have done some research on this issue and there are others that this has happened to. Something needs to be done about this issue before someone loses their life over it.
Pin came out from bottom of engine
Pulled over to shoulder on florida turnpike to adjust seat belt and the car started a very rough idling and would not engage in drive. Reported it to dealer and hyundai motor america and following was their reply:-dealer: this is a characteristic of these vehicles that they don't know how to correct-hyundai: they are aware of the problem and are working to resolve it.in the meantime i am driving a car that is not reliable to me from a safety standpoint and two dealers in miami, doral and lehman hyundai service managers have told me that there is nothing they can do until the factory tells them how to correct the issue,your assistance will be very much appreciated.

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!
Making a noise
The car seems to idle more than it should, considering it is a 2013.i have felt it idling heavily at dead stops waiting at a red light, in which i will inch up and the idling stops.i've noticed this after only about 5k miles on the car.i bought the car new.there is also a whining build-up sound when i have a cold start.i turn on the engine and hear a slight whine for about 4-5secs.it didn't do this in the very beginning.when i first bought the car, it almost sounded like it was an electric car because it was so quiet.now it idles and whines at start-up.the car shakes when it idles and the only time i have felt that much shaking was in my dad's old truck from the 90's.
Car smokes heavilylike every 10,000 miles when accelerating fast andsuddenly, like when going onthe freeway on ramp or trying to overpass another vehicle. It blows a huge , big ,white cloud of smoke that impairs visibility of other drivers. It is ahazard against safety and contaminets the enviroment . Oil level seems to be fine between services. It has been happening since new. At 7000 miles, 15000 miles and today at 40,000 miles . There are many complains about that.

Hole detected in engine of 6yr old vehicle after abruptly stopping in middle of road
Vehicle keeps shutting off/ stalling. First dealer claimed it was a yaw rate sensor. Sensor was changed and did not solve issue. It was also experiencing fuel pump problems, gas would leak when filling and gas would not calculate mileage or update. Second dealer did not see a fuel pump problem. Now believes its a ecm problem. They did not want to cover it under warranty.
Takata recall engine has ticking noise which has been diagnosed as a manufacturing issue and still isn't recalled when a ton of these exact same cars are having the exact same issue.
I am the only owner of my 2013 hyundai elantra that i bought brand new.i have had several issues electrical with lighting turning on and off - i thought i was burning through bulbs quickly but i can go over a bump and brake lights or interior lights will start to work again. This has been ongoing. I recently started hearing a loud engine knock which the hyundai dealership told me is normal and would go away once it warmed up.turns out when i took it to a mechanic who is honest and know what he is talking about that it is a wrist pin....which means a whole new engine. My car is now just out of warranty and hyundai does not want to assist even though there are many cases with 2013 hyundai motors that are bad. There should be a recall on this but isn't. The nhtsa should step in and make hyundai do the right thing.
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 contact stated that the vehicle was emitting an odor of burning oil. While driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled and the oil and battery indicators illuminated. The contact had the vehicle towed to the webb hyundai dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that the vehicle would be repaired shortly. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The vin was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 67,000.
Noticeda oil based leak under vehicle ,have itinspectedthe leak is coming out of a defective air conditioner compressor ,emitting toxics freon and ac oilto the air and ground. This should be a recallfor safety and pollution.
My 2013 elantra has in the pastexperienced labored engine issues, and shutting down when applying the brakes, this is a serious issue.at my appointment this month, i will advise the dealership of the issue, as it happened again this week.i still am under warranty for the drive train 100,000k miles, i am hoping this appointment, the dealership will locate the issue and fix the problem.
My 2013 hyundai elantra with approx. 75,000 miles, and no mechanical or cosmetic issues, caught fire while parked and turned off for 10 minutes at tavern in the square restaurant in lowell, ma.patrons who were parked nearby heard what sounded like electrical sparks and then witnessed smoke coming from the hood which then burst into flames.they ran in to retrieve my family and i and the fire department came within 10 minutes to extinguish the flames but the car was completely destroyed by that time.i have videos and pictures that can be forwarded to you. I have attempted to contact hyundai customer service but was on hold for 40 minutes and immediately disconnected before speaking to anyone. This has been extremely stressful emotionally and financially.the car was in our garage just 30 minutes prior and this could have been much worse.there is obviously a history of issues with some other hyundai vehicles which i wasn't aware of until now but i don't see that my car was listed as a possible recall for electrical fires.it was my only mode of transportation and every penny i earned was used to purchase this vehicle less than one year ago.i do not have insurance that would cover this situation so this is a total loss. Please let me know how to proceed and also where to forward the video and photo details.
When driving the vehicle on the high way i 29 n at about 68-72 mph the brand new vehicle engine stalled abruptly and the steering wheel froze and we were stuck in the direction the steering was previously turned it and it made impossible for us to steer it on to the shoulder and the vehicle behind us almost crashed into us. We were just a whisker away from getting killed. We had a near death experience and my fiance is still having nightmares about it.
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.
Intermittent engine light illumination. Happens only after the "vehicle check in progress". Car has started to run rough both while accelerating and at a stop. Acts like it will shut off. Having to put the car in neutral and pat the gas to keep it running. There is a tsb for this issue but no active recall. Constant run around at the service centers. They say its normal for it to run rough. Also the rubber steering coupler went bad. Was making a thud noise when steering wheel was turned. Also a tsb for this....no recall. But wait theres more! the clock spring is also bad! tsb for this too! bad clock spring results in the loss of power to the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. When i replaced the steering coupling, i forgot to plug in a wiring harness under the wheel and the buttons started working again but had no power steering. Plugged the harness back in and had steering but the buttons no longer worked. Pretty sure hyundai is uploading error codes and giving people the run around in an attempt to get more money. Recall this crap already before something bad happens. Hold this company responsible for selling crap to people.
My engine started making ticking noises and my oil prsssure light came on. Was told i needed a new engine at $6700! i see hundreds of similar complaints. There's only 58000 miles on my car
As others have mentioned, i have had both problems starting the vehicle (the car could not be started on two occasions so far, despite having adequate fuel and a charged battery), and with the rear of the car swinging out when traveling over a bump or on slippery road conditions (even at speeds as low as 35 mph, there is a noticeable kick from the rear of the vehicle, which has worsened with time). For both cases, the dealer was unable to find an issue, and/or said any kind problem was "within tolerance."
I rear ended a car and nearly totaled my car. For some odd reason the airbag never deployed during the time of impact.
About 4 times per year, the vehicle will not shift out of park.i must use the shift release button and this takes awhile to work.i have had this happen when the car is idling in a parking lot, parked at a drive-thru, trying to leave a parking lot. Thishas happened about 12 times since i bought this vehicle.i took it to a hyundai dealership and they could not replicate the issue.the first occasion was around 1,000 miles on the odometer.
Engine ticking noise. Dealer said metal shavings in engine and piston knocking. They said need new engine. Had tegular oil changes abd services.
The fuel rail is leaking, in dangerous of firing.the same/similar issue has been recalled/reported repeatedly
Car chugged and shut off; waited and it started again, but since had ticking noise. Dealer is saying new engine needed; stated hyundai is aware of the engine wearing out prematurely and hyundai is trying to help people out if it is past the warranty by paying 90% of the cost. Hyundai should pay 100% if they are aware that it is a widespread problem. And they say it is going to take 2-4 weeks to repair.
Car had been making an awful sound, ticking almost for a while... Took it to the garage and it was diagnosed as the engine completely shot. They said there were 12 other elantras at their garage alone waiting to be repaired for the exact same issue. They said certain years they've noticed are being affected, but it doesn't matter the mileage, they're getting cars with even just 20k miles coming in need of a new engine. Estimated the part at $2400, don't have that to spare.
Engine failure after 33,000 miles.hyundai states it will takes 6 to 8 months to fix.all of these engines are on back order.the 100,000 mile warranty does not mean anything if you cant get parts.my dealer has 40 elantras waiting for engines.just guess how many they are waiting for nation wide.
Driving in the passing lane of the highway my vehicle became unable to accelerate then decelerated rapidly. I made my way over to the shoulder in a panic as the vehicle came to a stop and would not start. The check engine light, oil light, and eps light up as the vehicle decelerated. Upon taking to my mechanic i was given a techincal service bulletin and advised to work with the dealership. Once diagnosed at the dealership i was told i need a new engine and it will cost $9,000; i bought this vehicle a year ago and still owe 5,800 dollars on it. I am aware of class action lawsuits against hyundai for this issue as well as the fact that this vehicle was recalled in canada for the same issue. I am horrified at the lack of customer service and sympathy exhibited by hyundaias i made contact with corporate about the issue. I cannot be the only one to experience this safety issue and i am lucky i was able to get to the shoulder safely. This engine should not have failed at 116,000 miles and hyundai knows that though the appear ignorant to this defect when confronted.
Vehicle's engine making a tapping noise from under hood on passenger side when engine was started. Noise increased with acceleration. Vehicle was taken to a certified master mechanic . Mechanic was able to duplicate concern. Vehicle has only 78096 miles. Master mechanic determined the vehicle needs new engine and recognized that this issue should not occur on a vehicle with such low mileage. Mechanic recommended that vehicle be taken to hyundai dealership to have them replace engine under major concern of safety issues : vehicle stalling. Hyundai dealership has vehicle but as of date has not answered to replacing defective engine under a warranty.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start intermittently. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.
I'm having a tak,tak,tak sound coming from under the hood once i shut the car off.also, you can see a spark while it is making the sound.i"ve taken the car back to the dealer several times for this and the scrubbing sound on the brakes and the missing while the car is idling.i'm told each time they can't hear or feel anything and to please come back if it happens again.i've been to the dealer so much i hate to go again.

Hyundai currently only offering 50 % coverage! this is a known and ongoing issue with hyundai engines and should be covered 100%. Vehicle currently has less than 95,000 miles on odometer. Hyundai has issed in extended warranty of $120,000 on several models with the same engine problem. Https://www.hyundaiengineinfo.com/technical-overview/#whattolookoutfor https://www.hyundaiengineinfo.com/also, the trunk latch has completely failed along with the emergency latch opening in the trunk.
Timing chain is damaged and car is only 5 years old and have kept up with the maintenance
For a year straight the car has been shutting off on my while i'm driving on the street's. This is very hazardous because it randomly happens. The car will just shut off as if it lost battery power while still in driving gear. When restarting the car it can sometimes take awhile because it will make a clicking noise like there is either a problem with the engine or starter for the car. When this happens occasionally the check engine light will come on.
In november of 2016 notice car began to hesitate and coming home from a drive the vehicle died in front of house. Took to hyundai vacaville and they stated it was a computer problem. Update applied, drove home and noticed ticking from engine. Drove to work and noticed lower gas mileage and continued ticking. I took the car back to the dealer who said this time it was the fuel injectors and to put in cleaner. Drove home and then to work and noticed ticking getting louder. Took the car back to dealer and this time i was told that the engine needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, i was out of warranty and had to pay for it out of pocket with a re manufactured factory engine which was installed around 12/23/2016. Since thenstill notice a ticking with new engine after putting about 40,000 miles on it and concerned that i was provided with a bad engine again. I keep up with maintenance as i did with the first engine with oil changes every 3,000 miles instead of the the recommended 7,500. I have noticed many other complaints of owners of model year 2013 with similar issues. The failure with the first engine was at 127, 565 which i believe should still not have happened as i have a 2010 accent with 180,000 and no problems, and had several other vehicles that went beyond 200,000 with no issues. I noticed the ticking noise back then to be pronounced when accelerating up hill and with current engine usually have to warm it up so that when i drive i do not hear any ticking.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving various speeds with the accelerator pedal depressed, there was an abnormal noise from the front of the vehicle. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to patriot gmc hyundai (2001 se washington blvd, bartlesville, ok 74006) where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 87,200.
On or about 10/20/2016 my car all of a sudden would not start, i was working out in the field went into a patients home and the car as i turned the ignition key, nothing happened. 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, calledlutes 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.
While driving my vehicle at highway speed, the vehicle suddenly stalled without any apparent reason. I was in the middle lane of a three lane highway. I had to coast over to the side of the highway with no steering or brakes due to the engine failure. Once at the side of the highway, the vehicle re-started immediately and ran normally again for about a week when the same thing happened again, this time on a side street at approximately 15 mph. The vehicle once again started back up with no problem. It has run normally again as of this posting. Updated10/23/2014
A knocking noise from the engine that increases in frequency as the engine rpm increases. Reduced power and/or hesitation and vibration.in motion the knocking comes from the engine and when stopped it hesitation and vibrate
The engine seized while driving on the highway and the car stalled out.
Intermittently will not turn over.battery is fine.inhibitor switch was changed, all recalls performed.had the car to the dealer 3 times and they cannot replicate.had it towed there last time.if you fiddle with the shifter, and key long enough (10 minutes or so, it will eventually turn over and start as normal.there has been no help on this, and the dealer keeps charging for diagnostics, even thought the vehicle is under warranty.the problem seems to be extremely more prevalent in the winter or when the temp is below 35 degrees f.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving various speeds, the engine made a loud ticking noise. The vehicle was taken to jim click hyundai auto mall (700 w auto mall dr, tucson, az 85705, (877) 888-2231) where it was diagnosed that the water pump was faulty and needed to be replaced. The dealer stated that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The manufacturer was contacted. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was approximately 63,000.
I was on my way back from co to mn. As i entered lusk, wy, a strange "clunking" noise started to arise from the engine and shortly after the vehicle stopped accelerating. I pulled over and turned the vehicle off waited a couple minutes and then turned it back on. I was no longer able to drive or put the car in reverse. I towed the vehicle to a hyundai dealership. The dealership report stated that they were "able to start the vehicle and shortly after the crankshaft seized and the engine no longer turned over." the vehicle had one previous owner so the replacement was not covered by a warranty. I had owned the car for a year and replaced the oil every 3,000 miles. There was no possibilty that the engine failure occured due to negligence on behalf of changing the oil.
Car loosely steered barely off road, 1/8 mile from home,bumped tree 15' away, backed up, engine shut off (as usual since day 2 of lease), windshield heated to over 150 degree's in 35 degree weather, so i vacated car, which was in flames 2-3 minutes and burned to ash..had 5 months, daily problems, battery, fuses, ignition, numerous calls to dealer, shop, no help, could easily have died in firetrap alive, car dove itself, when & where it pleased, and was uncontrollable.even hyundai motor finance has not paid on gap coverage in 11 months, ruining my credit to boot, and was over financed past legal limits, on a total new lemon and not only was car not replaced as promised,i cannot get a response from hyundai, or hyundai finance.,this was the biggest mistake of my life, and i will tell everyone to never purchase a hyundai product. You should be ashamed.and lose your franchise license.i will have to sue to ever begin to be compensated for all you have done to me, and because of your product.
Ticking noise from engine 82000 miles on it. Dealer said around $8000.00 to replace engine. Dealer said even if i showed i've taken care of it hyundai still wont replace the faulty engine. Recall for this exact engine problem in canada why not here in the us? so frustrating being a single parent trying to make ends meet and now having to decide which is better take another loan out for new engine of an upside down loan for a different car. I owe 7000.00 on this elantra already and have had it for only a year. Taken good care of it with oil changes every 3000 miles.sadly i'm the second owner of this car so no warranty to help.heartbreaking when i thought hyundai was a good solid car to purchase. Now i'm in fear while driving if its going to die on me while trying to figure out my best financial options.
My 2013 elantra sedan built in alabama on june 14, 2013, and equipped with a 1.8l engine. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership because it cut off on me while driving in the middle of a canyon, in traffic. The brakes did not work. The cars steering locked up and could not control the car more than to veer it off the road with the forward momentum from coming down a hill.i was told the engine needed to be replaced due to the oil level being too low. I had just had it replaced and checked about a week before. Then i was told it was a connecting rod that had broken. I've left the car at the dealership at the moment because i feel like this is a manufacturing defect and will not pay out of pocket for a repair that would be covered in canada.
Engine failure. Zero compression cylinder #1. Second time this has happened since purchase on 10/18/2016. Also, tire pressure problem, esc light comes on, dashboard gauges inoperative. Fuel mileage below what is advertised. Neither hundai nor enterprise will fix the problem after repeated demands. Also, there is a recall regarding "stopper pad" and stop lamp switch. Bought vehicle, cash, from enterprise car sales in montclair, ca. It was a "certified" used car, supposedly. Immediately i noticed that the engine sounded "tinny". Sounded like a sewing machine, it was knocking. Also, when i lifted the oil stick, smoke came out of engine. This was within 2 weeks after purchase. The car completely lost compression on interstate 10 in april, 2015. I told both hyundai and enterprise who ignored my complaints. Finally, after several complaints and threats, enterprise took the car in and sent it to hyundai dealership who claimed there was no problem. The car began losing power again in september, 2016 and finally stopped in the middle of the street in arcadia, ca. No compression. It had to be towed to my house. I took it to private shop who said "zero compression in cylinder #1, possible burned out valve '. See attached. Called hyindai and enterprise again. Both denied responsibility, and refused to do anything. I have to now pay over $1,000 to get engine rebuilt. This car is a lemon and i am enttied to refund or a new car.
Brakes:at 36k, i had to change the brake pads which may not be uncommon, however, it was the back brakes.the front brakes had more than half the life left on it and the back brakes were almost bare.engine:in summer (july?) of 2013, i came out from work, after a full day of the car sitting out in the sun (approximately 85 weather), i attempted to turn the engine and it continued to turn, but not would not ignite/ start.after trying it for about 5min, i gave it a break and let it sit for about 10min.after which, i tried again and it was very hesitant to start (you could hear it wanted to), then eventually started.i dropped it off to the dealer the next day and they couldn't replicate the issue.almost a year later (july?) 2014, the same thing happened again.the car sat out in the 80 weather in the sun all day.i came out from work and my car would not turn on; this time, the engine didn't do anything other than continue to turn like when your battery is dead.i called roadside and he jumped the car.he also checked the battery and said it shouldn't do that because it was not even close to dead.i again took into the dealer and they tried to replicate my issue, leaving it in the sun; no luck.they couldn't find anything wrong with it again.i haven't seen the issue since, but i am worried that a new car could even hesitate to start like this.
My 2013 elantra started making a tapping noise so i took it to the service department. It seems my 3 year old vehicle needs a new engine. That was almost three weeks ago and i am still waiting. Neither my dealer nor hyundai can give me and eta as to when the car will be repaired. This wait is unacceptable and from what i gather from the service manager and the posts on this site, i am not alone. My respect for hyundai has cratered and will never buy another hyundai.
Went and got an oil change about a month ago. About 2 weeks ago i noticed a ticking/knock in noise coming from the engine while going up small hills or while idoling. I have roughly about 124,000 miles
Engine stalled on me. Every time i press the gas pedal it jerks. Sometimes when i start the car it won't start. Also if it takes a while to start it will stall the whole time while driving. I can press on the gas pedal but it will drive like 1 mile per minute. I can hear the engine roaring, but it just won't move. I took it in to hyundai they fixed it, but now my car is starting it again. I recently got on the freeway and right when i pressed the gas peddle it jerked and the engine light came on. Now it's starting to do the same thing taking a while to start, and stalling out of nowhere. I can also hear almost like a knock and the gears shifting when i'm driving, when i stop and go i can hear everything. I'm afraid to go anywhere far in my car because i never know what's going to happen. I think this engine need to be assessed because this is not normal at all.
The car experienced (1) poor acceleration, (2) check engine light come on, (3) engine stalling, (4) tachometer drops to zero.it was first found the map sensor was faulty. After the sensor was replaced, the car ran but stalled again intermittently. It was found the problem was caused by crank shaft position sensor (fault code p0335). After the senor was replaced about three weeks ago, the car has been running fine.
I purchased a 2013 hyundai elantra as a new vehicle back in november of 2013. I recently decided to upgrade my vehicle to a suv. After purchasing the new vehicle, my intention was to sell my old vehicle (the elantra) to my fiance. Prior to completing the title transfer, i received a recall notice on the elantra and brought it in to to have the recall work done on 2/3/18 (there were 96,631 miles on the car at this service). When i brought the vehicle in for the recall work, the car was making a slight ticking sound from the engine compartment. The dealership proceeded to complete the recall repair, and also inspected the vehicle. They informed me that i had some bulbs out and that i would need new tires soon. They failed to address the ticking noise from the engine.we proceeded with the title transfer on 2/7/18. My fiance decided to go ahead and bring the vehicle back in to walser hyundai on 2/12/18 to have the ticking noise addressed. We were then informed that the car is in need of major engine repair and the cost of the repair would be $5,900. I inquired about the powertrain warranty which would cover such repairs up to 100,000 miles and was told that because we transferred the title that they would not honor the warranty. We would not have proceeded with the title transfer until the issue was resolved. I have reason to believe that the dealership neglected to address the noise because they knew what the issue was (this is a common issue with this year and model vehicle), saw the car was almost past the 100k mile limit for the warranty figured that by the time we brought it back in, the car would be over the mileage limit for the warranty. I did file a complaint/case with hyundai and they again told me that they will not cover any of the cost of the repair.
I took my car to the shop today because it had this horrible ticking sound in the engine.i found out a needa new engine
On numerous occasions, my car would stall out during left turns ( middle of intersections) and while accelerating on an entrance ramp.there were no warning lights prior to stalling.i took it in for service/ diagnostics. I was told it is possible for the elantra to suck up to 1qt of oil per 1000 miles!due to the mechanics of the car, it could stall out while turning if low on oil.i was due for my regular oil changeand it was completed during this service at which time they stated i was 2 qts low !!it was suggested that i come in every 2000 miles to have it checked.my concern is -without warning lights, do i have to stall in the middle of an intersection to let me know my oil is low ????
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.
2015-key won't release from ignition, replaced under warranty. 2017-same issue, cant reproduce issue, not replaced by dealer. 2018-car won't start, battery replaced. 2019-car won't start. Dash lights come on, car clicking but won't start. Jumpstarted car. While driving after jumpstart the radio intermittently went off. Took in for repair and alternator and battery was replaced. Next day while driving, charging system light flashes on and off twice. 6 days later-car won't start after driving it 3 miles, clicking again and the engine, oil, and charging system light on. Had to walk home in the dark in a high crime city
The engine makes piston slap noise when outside temperature is cold around 50 or below fahrenheit. The engine will make loud clapping noise for about 30 seconds. There is a design flaw. Possible cause is piston skirt being to short causing side to side movement when cold. Hyundai is aware of the problem. In canada hyundai has issued a bulletin to its dealers about the problem and has notified them to replace the engine.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving at an unknown speed, a ticking noise was heard from the engine without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the technician stated that the failure was a design flaw and a known issue.

I'm having serious engine problems at only 44k miles including failed ignition coils & sparkplugs-now engine still misfiring & coils going bad one at a time. I'm a single mother & cannot afford engine repairs especially with this low of mileage on the vehicle & after just purchasing it used from carmax in amherst, ny at end of january, 2019. I was told by the repair shop that the ignition coils are defective. Thank you.
They is movement in the emergency brake and a thopping when you let up off the brake.flashers freeze when its cold.
My engine recently developed a loud ticking noise at 78,000 miles. I took it into my local hyundai dealer and they informed me that i needed a new engine and advice me not to drive the car because the engine could seize up. The noise lasted no longer than a week before i took it in. The car was also regularly serviced and i have receipts. The dealership found metal debris in the oil pan but could not diagnose the exact issue without completely disassembling the engine. When looking online, this problem pops up hundreds of times for this make and model of car but hyundai has never issued a recall.
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).
When i was driving my 2013 hyundai elantra in january of 2018 a very distinctive clicking noise started to come from the engine, without any cause. After taking my vehicle to multiple mechanics, the problem was diagnosed as a faulty engine that could not be repaired. I have never had an engine fail on me before and i know that in some cases it can be very dangerous. I was fortunate enough to get my engine replaced without having the engine fail, although it sounded, and drove, like it was almost there. This problem got so bad that it wouldn't allow me to even drive on hills anymore because the engine couldn't withstand it. I only had this car for not even 3 yrs and this occurred. I got the car at 39,400 miles and i only put 25,00 on it from driving it so their is no way this should have occurred. I paid 1900 to replace the engine and was not happy at all
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.
113,000-114,000 miles on car. Started making a ticking noise that sounded like it was coming from the top of the motor. Sounded like lifters or a hard knocking. Parked as soon as it started it and towed it to a shop. They said the ticking sound was more than likely from the piston assembly. They called it a piston slap. However upon taking the valve covers off they found the timing chain was slapping around, bent valves and a bad piston. Our daughter done all of her oil changes regularly and didn't hotrod the vehicle. She was also going slow up our driveway when it happened. No noise prior to this at all.
My car has 63,300 miles on it. I bought it used in december 2017, six months and my mechanic is telling me it is the engine and it needs to be replaced.when i bought the car it had a ticking sound, very low.i thought once it idled and i start driving it would go away.i was driving on the freeway recently and my car would not go over 60 mph. The rpm would not go past 2.5.when i exited the freeway, and stopped at the light i had whit smoke coming from my car.when i use my air, i can't accelerate over 40 mph.everyday it's driven it, get's worse.
My engine started making ticking noises around 75000, took car in for 75000 mile maintenance and asked service department to check for noise and car acceleration problems. Tech later told me its normal and nothing they can find wrong with car. Now i see from looking on the internet its a common problem but now my car is out of warranty. I also went in before my warranty ended to have the 100000 mile maintenance service and complained about the same issue, they still said it normal. Today i just contact my local hyundai service department to see what options i have.
Vehicle was stationary. Check engine light and lack of digital engine temperature gauge alerted driver to issue. Upon inspection at authorized hyundai service center, it was noted that rodents had gnawed through wiring and connectors located in the engine bay.per service center's recommendation, vehicle was considered unsafe to drive, and vehicle was left at service center pending appropriate repairs/replacements. It was noted that the wires that were chewed through were coated with soy-based materials instead of plastic which had been used in earlier models. Service center claims to see this issue at least a few times per month. Rodent deterrent tape is being purchased from honda (who already acknowledges this issue and is current the subject of a class action lawsuit). Tape will be wrapped around wires following repairs.
My 2013 elantra is having trouble starting, it takes several times for the car to start, all i get is a clicking noise, a mechanic had me put the car in neutral and it started, this week, i spent 10 minutes putting the car in park, neutral, and turning the steering wheel for it to start, it was towed a couple years back and the dealer could not "replicate" the issue.about amonth ago, i heard a ticking sound in my engine, several people and two mechanics have listened to it and are saying it is either the valves or lifters.i have an appointment this month, so will update with my findings.
My car started making a ticking noise in engine one day to the next took the car to dealer to dealership they told me it needs a new engine . After looking the problem up there has been many complaints of this problem happening to everyone with a 2011 to 2013 hyundai elantra with a 4cyl engine
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the engine was powered on for approximately 20 minutes when dark gray smoke began billowing from under the hood area. The vehicle quickly became engulfed in flames. The fire department was called and was able to extinguish the fire. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed to determine the cause of the failure, nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 13,200. The vin was not available.updated 4/4/14
I drove my 2013 hyundai elantra tuesday evening and parked it at 9pm. Went to start my car to go to work at 730am and it would not start. All of the lights came on, headlights and radio worked the car just would not start. I tried to start it 5 more times, it is push start. I called and had my car towed that evening, the tow guy came and put it in neutral and it started right up. I still had the car towed because i have had so many electrical issues with this car. It has been at the hyundai dealership for 4 days now and no one can tell me what is wrong with it. It has started a couple times for the dealership but not consistently. I keep calling and asking what the issue is but they have no idea what it is. I have read numerous comments about the same issue with this car. This needs to be a recall this is not fair to us as hyundai customers. This should be recalled and paid for by hyundai.
Around 40,000 miles the car randomly would not start, leaving me stranded. I took the car in several times and dealership could not detect an issue. 2nd time i dropped off, a misfire was detected and ignition coils where replaced due to defected coils. I picked up my car and 11 days later the car wouldn't start up again. Its been in the shop for 3 weeks now. Last i heard they are replacing:the shifter assembly, transmission range switch, and brake switch. I have yet to hear if the parts came in and if this will fix the issue. I received a call on 11/3/2016 and now the engine needs to be replaced. There is a serious issue with the car failing to start and hyundai cant even figure it out, as of today they had my car for a total of 25 days and still no resolution. Something needs to be done and recalled. Ive contacted hyundai consumer affairs directly and have a case with them going on. I see several complaints of this same issue happening on this model, i hop this will somewhat help. Be consistent and don't take no for answer, i am still making car payments on something that is not working nor i have is unfair. Since the car is less than 60,000 miles this will be covered under warranty, it should of had to take me 3 times, calling a manger and going to consumer affairsfor them to finally take my issue serious.
Update to ticket # 1119161 - 4 separate appts, with,90 plus days accumulated total at a hyunda service center expanding 21 months and 15000 miles.43 days at current service dept with no update, vehicle continues to stall while driving, electrical malfunctions continue to expand after interior was soaked from a confirmed/repaired defect in sunroof frame. Beyond the ability of service technicians to diagnose, engineer inspected and confirmed vehicle stalling while driving and messed up interior july 2016 from sunroof leak, repairs have been made but vehicle continues to stall while driving, in addition electrical malfunctions continue to devolop that hyundai will not resolve, vehicle was in buyout review with hyundai but was stopped due to my complaint filed which south carolina consumer affairs requesting a repurchase that hyundai denied. Vehicle is not safe nor am i being told what's going on. If technician cant diagnose a confirmed issue by their engineer then why is vehicle still at service center and why are they not calling to advise after 43 days.
Car will not start. The immobilizer icon shows up in the dash and both smart key fobs do not work. Called hyundai customer service and could not do anything but refer me to the nearest dealership.. Dealer promised to call back but never did.
This vehicle is under 70,000 miles and has powertrain issues.the car makes a ticking noise when it starts up as well when driving.the car really makes this noise when you try to accelerate up an incline or over 40 mph.it seems to have a difficult time getting to go over 2000 rpm's at times.the car has also cut off multiple times when in d.
Engine light came on car started to skip took two certified mechanic change spark plugs two condensers engine flush and the enginestart rattling engine broke loose now engine is destroyed or after a tuneup. Took back immediately and to a different mechanic for second opinion.
The engine started to make a ticking sound a few weeks ago when the firstcold front came in.
My wife was trying to park her car when the car suddenly accelerated without her touching the gas or the brake. Luckily, she was able to stop by slamming on the brakes. I've heard recent cases of people not being able to stop when this happens.
Hyundai replaced my 2013 elantra's engine (68k miles) as a "goodwill gesture" due to a flaw in the original engine which wasn't allowing enough oil to get to the engine. Two days after the engine replacement the car died while being driven in which they suspected it be a fuel pump issue. After resolving that suspected issue the car againshut off while in motion during the test drive and caught fire while the car was pulled to the side of a city street after being driven for only one block.
A ticking/knocking noise is going on in the engine, powertrain. It's been happening since i bought the vehicle and is worse in cold weather.it is believed to be a valve train issue.the knocking gets worse when i accelerate, also. This appears to be a known problem with 2013 hyundai elantras, but there isn't a recall for the engine.i contacted hyundai and they've been slow to respond. My vehicle is currently with the business that i bought it from.they're using the quick, temporary warranty to get a new used engine, but i'm concerned that the same ticking/knocking noise will occur with the new used engine, because they refuse to use a different brand engine.i'd prefer that hyundai do a straight up recall for the engines that consistently perform this way - with a knocking noise that hinders the performance of the vehicle.
I purchased this vehicle in june 2013. I had no complaints until july of 2014, wherein my car picks and chooses when to start. I have looked online and there are many others who seem to have this complaint. I finally gave in on aug. 24, after my car sat for two days because i could not get it to start. I called the hyundai 24 hour roadside and had them tow it to the nearest dealership. The tow truck driver initially tried to start it, and it didn't. He popped the button nearest the top of the shifter and pressed it in, and put the car in neutral, it then started but sputtered like it wanted to turn off. He was able to drive the car onto the tow truck.the next morning, i spoke with the mechanic at the dealership who indicated that the car was starting for them just fine. He said there are so many sensors that it could be one, but they wouldn't know where to start as there are so many and could not make an educated guess. He wanted to keep it overnight to see if it would act up for them. It is now 2pm two days later and the mechanic claims there is still no issue, he said they have let it run all morning and it is fine. This has become ridiculous, especially when i see so many others with the same complaint, yet nothing being done. Help, nhtsa!
While applying brakes vehicles engine would rev up to over5000 rpm's making it hard to stop once vehicle was stopped and gear shift was put in park the vehicle was shut off and restarted where it now was running normalythis has happened twice in the last few monthsonce in busy traffic the other while i was pulling into my garageto get the vehicle to stop you really had to put alot of pressure on the brakes my wife won't drive it anymore for she fears she'll be in a accident i'm afraid that these high rpm's may do damage to the brakes , engine and transmission the first time this happened was a few months ago and recently yesterday march 9th 2020
My car started developing a ticking/knocking noise from the engine at startup- specially cold startup.the noise seems to go away after the engine is sufficiently warmed up- like driving 5-6 minutes on cold days and a minute on warm ones. Recently, i have started experiencing shudders in the drivetrain-- these feel like sudden motions, like the engine is trying to stall.went to the dealer, and he said everything is alright, although my local mechanic says that this sounds similar to several other complaints he has received from his other customers.their seem to be thousands of affected hyundai elantra customers who are complaining of the same issue only to be ignored willingly by the dealers and the manufacturer.my car started developing these noises around 80,000 miles- and hyundai offers a 100,000 mile drivetrain warranty.does not seem like hyundai is honoring its warranties at this point.hyundai america seems to be testing the strategy where most of the affected customers will run out of warranties or will sell their cars for second hand owners to discover that the original 100,000 mile warranty doesn't apply to them anymore.hyundai should issue a recall on my model year and affected model year vehicles that are affected by this issue. There is a potential safety concern of engine failure at highway speeds where the occupants of the vehicle may get involved in a fatal incident.
After an oil change at a hyundai dealer, i did a quick acceleration from the dealership onto a busy road. The car immediately loss almost all power, with heavy white smoke coming out of the rear of the car. I immediately pulled to the side of the road. The car smelled likeke burning oil/a very hot engine. I parked the car and walked back to the dealership. They explained the problem on oil in the intake manifold and it was sucked into the engine during acceleration. They stated that they have seen this problem before. I bought the car new and this is the first time that i had this problem. It was fortunate that when i pulled out into traffic i had enough space that i did not get rear-ended, since it was a busy road. My vehicle has 33575 mile and up to now, no problems.i went on the hyundai form and this is a common problem. It is a safety problem. Any loss of acceleration when needed is dangerous.
Car will not start! everything comes on lights radio n etc. I had my battery check it great. Can't find a solution. I have been out several times and this has happened. I have lost income because of this issue.
Vehicle owner smelled a burning type smell on a cold day when having the heater on full to warm the vehicle. There was no obvious smoke or fire. The second time the vehicle owner had the heater on full to warm the car, a fire resulted. The fire caused so much damage to the vehicle that the initial cause is unknown.
When i start my car the engine ticks i believe it's supposed to be a piston issue also my seatbelts don't properly secure i have to use excessive force to buckle it
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving various speeds, a rattling noise was heard coming from the engine compartment. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to andy mohr hyundai (located at 1527 liberty dr, bloomington, in 47403, (812) 307-4279) where the oil was tested metal shavings were found in the oil. The dealer stated that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the repair fees. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 15522450. The approximate failure mileage was 40,675.
2013 hyundai elantra. While stationary, in city street, turning or not not turning, uncontrolled engine racing to at least 5000 rpm. To stop racing without an accident, i have to put the car in neutral and a) engine speed may go back to normal or b) repeatedlystep on gas pedal to disengage racing engine. Or c) turn off engine key and try to restart. This has occurred numerous times
This has been an ongoing issue, when hitting any type of bump in the road, the rear of the car feels like it is going to fishtail, worse on wet roads. The abs brakes work and then they don't, the steering will feel loose and then tight. I have noticed there is a lot of complaints about the car feeling like it is going to fishtail or has when hitting bumps and yet, no recall is forced on hyundai. I guess it takes a fatality to get anything done. A car should never feel like it is going to fishtail when hitting bumps.the engine hesitates when going uphill or when accelerator is pressed quickly.
Car will not start. Everything turns on , radio, lights, bluetooth works, but the engine does not turn over. Has happened multiple times and continues to happen. Have not found a solution yet.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact noticed a knocking noise coming from the engine. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to prestige hyundai (768 e chester st, kingston, ny 12401, (845) 339-3313) where it was diagnosed that the lower bearing in the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 121,000.
Engine experiencing same issues as the 2011-2014 sonatas. There are metal shards in the engine left over from the manufacturing process, as diagnosed by the local hyundai of evansville dealership service center. These metal shards will likely eventually cause my engine to fail, more than likely when the car is on the road as for some reason the engine being hot seems to perpetuate the issue. There is substantial risk that when this occurs i could wreck the car harming either myself or other individuals on the road. The local hyundai dealership informed me that they hear the noise which my engine is making quite often and tell people that, "it is likely no big deal. Hyundai submitted a recall for the sonatas so maybe they will make one for the elantra eventually." not liking this answer i brought the car back in to the same dealership for a diagnostic in which i was told that the car was completely unsafe to drive. Hyundai is refusing to take responsibility for their manufacturing mishap and their dealership is even going as far as lying to people that this "noise" in their engine is no big deal, at least until the person calls them on their bluff and informs the service center that they know this is not no big deal,then the dealership's story about the safety of the vehicle suddenly changes. I feel unsafe in my car and fearful for others who have also been lied to about the safety of their 2013 hyundai elantra. Hyundai is refusing to take responsibility and fix this problem.
Engine make tapping noise when a cold starting the noise will slow down will it is worming up but you still hear itwas look at by 2 diffrant car shop repair and bothsaid it could be rocker arm or leffters
Vehicle was stopped at a traffic light and started idling roughly and engine shut off. Doral had a hyundai motor "field engineer" ([xxx]) look at it on july 11 and i was informed through the service adviser that this was typical of these models and that she, personally, had chosen to ignore it; she works for a hyundai dealership. Furthermore, nothing can be done. Please refer to previous complaint.thank you.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My 2013 elantra coupe se m/t started makeing a ticking noise while ilding about 55,500 miles, it now has 59,609 miles.thought it was just because it was getting broke in.i have had reg oil changes.i have read that other people have had the same problem with there engine. It seems to be getting louder now that it has more miles..my coworkers are able to here it now.
The car died at an intersection in dec 2017 after it juststarted shaking at a stop light. Eventually i was able to get the car started but it was locked in drive. I took it to a mechanic and the check engine light turned onand replaced the spark plugs; however, the engine had a ticking noise when i picked it up still when i picked it up. I brought it back to the mechanic and i was told it was something inside engine. So i could only replace the engine because everything they found was working and too much money and time to take apart the engine.the engine has continued to make a ticking noise assoon as i start the car and when i press the gas. The noise has got louder and with the warm weather, when i turn on the air the car is shaky.
On my way to work i was exiting the highway and i hit a bump. I was taken by surprise as what felt like the rear of the car bounced up abnormally and lurch toward the guard rail. The handling on rough surfaces is awful. This could lead to an accident. I just bought this car used and the engine is noisy which i am told this is the timing chain. I never had a car like this in my long life. The handling really worries me. Sucks!
My vehicle had been parked in my driveway and when i went to start the car it wouldn't start, but it began making this knocking noise. I had no idea what caused this, but it was extremely embarrassing and the only thing i could think of was to disconnect the battery. And that's when i heard the noise coming from the engine.
Takata recall theengine surging, knocking, rpm was going up, and down, then would cause the car to take off from the light like a jet in which almost caused me to get into car wrecks, it would go below 40mph, whilerpm would be up at 5 while on the highway then not go forward. The car shakes so bad due to the surging of the transmission
I bought a used 2013 hyundai elantra with 29,802 miles on it on october 6, 2014.by february 2015 i started hearing a tapping noise from under the hood and a noise when i pressed the gas pedal which stopped when i took my foot off the gas pedal.i took it to a hyundai dealership in february 2015 and it was determined i needed my engine replaced.hyundai agreed to replace it under factory warranty.i had 32,500 i believe miles on it. The dealership had multiple cars sitting on their lot which needed their engines replaced.while i was waiting for a rental car business to come pick me up at the hyundai dealership to get me a rental car to drive while my car was waiting to be fixed, i spoke to a couple who came in to drop off their rental car.their 2012 hyundai elantra needed an engine replacement as well--at 23,000 miles.the dealership told me that these cars had engine problems more often in the northeast due to the more severe weather in the winter.i so regret ever buying my first ever hyundai vehicle!
Possible crankshaft sensor failure. Car will not start properly or stalls after starting and shifting gears.happens every few months. New battery, spark plugs and tune up completed july 2018.no alternator/starter issues noted after mechanical testing.
Snow predicted. Left home to go run errands at 9:30 am, car looked showroom new, got 1/2 mile, car pulled itself right (as it has previously) and bumped a small tree, no damage. Car backed up to roadside 10', car cut itself off (as it had before), windshield went from 30 degrees to 450 degrees in 3 seconds. I left my purse (with $1200 in it) and everything and fled across road to save my life. Asked man there if he had a fire extinquisher, he didn't, asked me to stay because it was so cold, and i said no, i wanted to check my car and in that 60 seconds, i walked out and stood in his driveway and car was totally a blaze. It happened so quickly i would not have survived had i not fled the vehicle the car from day 2 rarely cranked, often cut off going 5-55 mph, pulled off road to right, and scared me speechless. Like it was haunted and drove itself. I only had it 4 months. It was a death trap and should never have been put on the highway.for some reason, i got arrested, i was totally sober and had no medication in my system. Trooper had a breath alyzer, never used it. Cuffed me very tightly, read me no rights, and took me to station entrance. He grabbed my arm and drew blood (illegally) , no phone call, finally read my rights, and denied me seeing my lawyer 3 times. Illegally. For 3 days & nights, i was never allowed a phone call or code, am disabled and have osteoporosis & had to sleep on a 1/4" of flat plywood, though my joints don't touch, i have restless leg syndrome & must sleep elevated, it was impossible. I also went without any of my prescriptions 3 days. All because this scary car burned to bent metal with no dash, no engine or parts, no tires, seats, nothing. So not only was i in shock, out of any contact without my prescriptions, and had to pay $475 bond, though i only get $969 , this car ruined my life over a year ago, and i haven't had a car since.
Hyundai has a known factory defective motor for my model of car.it is part of a class action lawsuit called the engine cold engine defective motor case.my model and location makes me eligible for a new motor.hyundai is denying me a new motor based on a rebuilt title.my car was rear-ended and the body was rebuilt.the engine was not affected by the accident.my engine is knocking and will seize up and quit anytime if my motor is not replaced, which hyundai is refusing to do.they are knowingly sending me down the road with a factory defective motor that could potentially seize up on the highway.this motor should be recalled by hyundai so that all of us effected are able to drive safely.
Clicking noise in the engine. Delawr said engine need to be replaced due to metal shavings in the engine.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the vehicle unintentionally accelerated and the engine revved while the vehicle was parked. The vehicle was taken to murdock hyundai murray (4646 state st, murray, ut 84107, (801) 262-6401) to be diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and the contact was given a case number. The failure mileage was unknown.
While engaging in nirmal drive, engine (app.75k miles) starting knocking.firestone refused to work on defective engine and stated that oil was dirty even though recently changed shortly after regular 3k oil change.took to different mechanic who said there is piston deterioration/damage along with lifter damage.engine needs to be replaced.
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.
We bought the car used in 2017 from dealership. One month after purchase and less than 1000 miles after purchase, and less than 64000 miles total, the engine needed to be replaced due to oil issues with the cylinders. Adequate oil was in car and dealer insisted that all checks had been performed prior to sale. I have recently read about recalls for other kia and hyundai vehicles due to engine failure problems for the same reason. I am reporting this issue in hope that this agency will consider investigating to see if the recall should be extended to hyundai elantras. This issue appears to be repeating among other vehicles made by hyandai in the same time frame my car was manufactured. I am also concerned about the repair that was performed because now there are additional recalls by hyundai and kia for the engine repairs that were performed on the other recalled models. The dealership and hyundai did cover most of cost of engine replacement but i want to be sure the repair was safely done. There are reports of engine fires related to high pressure fuel pipes and fuel leaks.
2nd owner, regular maintenance on car, no prior check engine light indicating a possible issue. Car just over 100k miles, stopped completely while driving. Hole found in engine block motor, appears to have threw a rod. Engine damaged beyond repair. When taken to hyundai dealership, was not given a formal diagnosis of damage despite asking for cause of engine failure. Simply told new engine needed ranging anywhere from 4-10k. Hyundai declined to replace engine. Have since learned that santa fe's and sonatas within the same year range have been issued engine recalls. Beginning to think issues are related in reading other reviews on engine problems with 2013 elantra's. Wondering when this problem will be recognized as a potential recall.
The vehicle has a strange sound when started up in the mornings. Almost like a ticking or small knocking sound. When i put my car in reverse to back up it starts to jerk like it's about to shut off. Also that same jerking occurs while driving on the highway. When my car is at the speed 35 it starts to jerk like it's about to shut off too. It happens all day long between the speeds 35 to 65. When i turn on the ac my car makes a weird squeaking nose and also jerks like it's about to give out again.i have had all my fluids check and everything is just fine. I dont feel safe in my car. It started happening the same day i got my vehicle from a small used car lot on march 4th 2019. It's been happening since the day i have left. I called the guy who sold my the car and he told me t was probably the gas being bad since the car sit so long on the lot. But it has never stopped.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving 15 mph, the vehicle began to smoke profusely while the accelerator pedal was being depressed. The failure was persistent. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (advantage hyundai, 440 plainview road, hicksville, ny 11801) where the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.
I've been driving this vehicle as a secondary owner since 64k miles, it's now at about 71k.i keep up with maintenance regularly, but lately it's developed a bit of a noticeable ticking especially when cold, and idles pretty rough when cold, seems to get better as the vehicle heats up.3 times, all spaced out by a couple of months i've also experience a refusal to start, trying again usually gets it to start but one of those times it almost sounded like it was misfiring since it seemed to stumble and nearly stall.i've taken it to two shops and not one of them and has been able to determine the underlying issue like it's not even there, one of them only suggested a battery replacement which funny enough seemed to help it until recently, will be taking to hyundai soon perhaps but i see a trend of very similar symptoms on here.
When driving vehicle would take to awhile to get to speed city street/highway and making a clicking sound while driving.i took the vehicle to the dealership to diagnosis the problem 3/16/18 found that bottom end of engine making a knocking noise thatengine and deteriorated into multiple pieces.at 57041 miles. Ittook at least two weeks for all the parts for the new engine to arrive,.four months later 6/5/18 vehicle motion driving around with a cracked transmission and no check lights came on to reveal there was problems.it was brought to my attention when servicing my vehicle for an oil change, the transmission was cracked with fluid leaking from it at 60922 miles.the transmission had to be replaced with a new one..
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 thevehicle 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.
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.
When attempting to start vehicle the "p" does not show in the information panel and the car will not start.vigorous shaking of the gear selector sometimes allows the "p" to illuminate and then the car will start.the vehicle is not in motion and has been parked in garage.this started in october and happens more and more frequently.
1. Engine noise (knocking sound, ticking sound)2. Air conditioning system failed too early and replaced it around 45,000 miles.3. Axle boot (left side) grease leaked too early (around 50,000 miles)4. Inner fender (right side) tore down. Replaced5. Two bubble tires (we changed the tire eight months ago!) replaced 6. Clicking sound on passenger side door when i changed the gear (50,200 miles)7. Engine mount replacement (35,570 miles)
Vehicle will not start despite a charged battery and following proper starting procedures.the vehicle is a push-to-start vehicle.this has happened multiple times.after a time (10-15 minutes), and trying different techniques, it does start.this is an issue with multiple hyundai elantra owners, whether it is push-to-start or keyed ignition.
Started hearing a ticking noise in the engine once it turned cold. Would hear the noise when i started up the car from a stationary position and noise would accelerate as i pressed on the gas and decrease as i slowed down.took to a hyundai dealership and was told that there were metal shavingsprobably from the rod bearings in the engine.told i would need a new engine and provided a cost of $8,000.
Engine making ticking & knocking sounds.
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.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. Prior to the failure, there was an abnormal noise coming from the engine. The vehicle was towed to ourisman hyundai (2404 crain hwy, bowie, md 20716, (855) 818-7744), but was not diagnosed. The contact was informed that the vehicle was out of warranty and that the manufacturer would not cover any repairs. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 68,126.
Bought used 3 weeks ago and it died while driving on incline, has been making a ticking noise, and sluggish, stereo turned off by itself.
We are the original owner of our 2013 hyundia elantra. Our car developed a ticking noise around 110,000 miles. We let the car sit for two months while we waited for money to get a diagnostic. The 14 of july 2017 we brought it into the dealer to research the knocking noise and it was returned to us saying there was not a problem. When our mechanic told us we needed a new engine we were confused. On march 6th 2018 after being told there was no problem the noise has gotten louder. When serviced again at the same dealer for recalls again was told there was no problem with the knocking. So we stopped driving the car till we figured out the problem, researching over the internet our cars engine was built at the alabama plant and now have found out the metal shavings has destroyed the engine. There is a recall for nhtsa 15v 568000 and numerous reports on the internet for the elantras 1.8 for the noise problem. We are confused why the dealership would tell us there is no problem when there is a huge problem in safety for my son driving the car, which we have not done so, and now the car sits in our driveway for fear that the engine will stall and we will get in an accident. What is hyundia motor company doing about this and have you heard about another recall for the 2013 elantra 1.8 engine series out of the alabama plant? please help and can you provide us with a complaint number.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, there was a loud ticking sound coming from the engine. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to woodhouse hyundai of omaha (8410 s 145th st, omaha, ne 68138) where it was diagnosed and the contact was informed that the engine short block needing to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The manufacturer informed the contact that the vehicle was over 100,000 miles and therefore no assistance would be provided. The failure mileage was approximately 133,000.
Engine ticking noise. Dealer said metal shavings in engine and pistons knocking. They said need new engine. Had regular oil changes and service.
In march 2019 taken in for state inspection. During the inspection, notified that the dog bone mount and lower oil pan leak by service advisor at dealership. .the engine was replaced last august and a leak in the pan occurred. It was covered by 10 year warranty.parts not available so an order was done. Told this need to be done immediately before any other damage occur. A leak in the oil pan less than a year at 69,344 miles.
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)
We brought our vehicle in, under warranty, for engine noises and stalling. We were told the previous owner could have neglected maintenance and we should do more frequent oil changes to solve the issue(oil sludge). This went on for months and the issue only got worse. By the time the issue was diagnosed(pistons), we were out of warranty and noone would help us. We later found out they covered some bearing issues, but not piston issues. We did everything recommended. They refuse to give me documents, i have asked many times for them(mcgrath hyundai of cedar rapids). This was 2 years ago. We entered a class action suit thinking we would get the help we deserved. We aren't getting help from the settlement and they are now saying we were out of warranty upon purchase of the vehicle. If we had the money to replace we would be getting full reimbursement, but we get nothing since we were financially unable. The people that did get the replacement engine are still having issues. I would like this engine to be recalled because i feel it is unsafe and not the driver/purchasers fault.
All lights came on in car and it immediately stopped in middle of street. Had itt towed to shop and was told the engine seized for no apparent reason.
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 contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal knocking sound in the engine. The vehicle was taken to wilkins hyundai (750 n york rd, elmhurst, il 60126, (630) 279-3000) where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the engines being on backorder. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 64,999. The vin was not available.
When i first purchased the vehicle it stalled out on the freeway. Took it to hyundai but they could not duplicate issue.i have also had thick white smoke come out of the trail pipe on multiple occasions. The smoke is so heavy that i can't see the cars behind me. The dealership also can't duplicate this when i take it in so i haven't been able to diagnose the issue. To top it off i traded in a v6 that was getting 23 mph for the elantra so that i could save money on the combined 32 mpg. Not even close. In town is 21 mpg. Combined is normally 23 mpg. Another issue happens when i brake. If i need to brake fast and hard it sounds and feels like the car it's going to fall apart. This issue i haven't bothered to report as i am just so disappointed with all the issues. I have been a loyal hyundai owner of different models since 1999.i have a feeling this will be my last hyundai.
Around 5pm on july 18th after starting up my parked car with no issues i pulled out of a parallel parking spot and made a left turn through a green arrow at the light. I was driving straight and slowly accelerating to about 30mph. I took my foot of the gas a bit to coast. I went to put my foot back on the gas but before i could within about 10sec the car slowed down and came to a halt in the middle of the road. Right as the car was slowing down all of the emergency lights such as check engine and all the other ones on the dashboard flashed. The car was completely shut off. The hazard lights did not even come on. I immediately pressed the break and turned the car back on. It started up immediately and i kept driving. Took car to hyundai dealer who found no issues after running a diagnostic.
Auto stalled while driving on a clear day, light traffic, 25 mph, no warning lights, engine was running smooth, engine stalled and could not be re-started, road way was level with no turn involved. Auto had to be towed.
Unable to move the car out of park.the electrical worked (radio, windows).i insert the key and turn but the car wont turn over (start). I have to use the shift lock release to start the car.the problem occurs intermittently and there is no pattern.
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.
2/23/2018 at highway speed near 70 mph, in spring valley, ca. Making sweeping right turn, engine suddenly stops, coast to road shoulder, engine fails start attempts, tow truck called. At tow impound yard 3 days of engine attempt failed. End of 3rd day impound, tow manager started car, ran okay, but car was towed to dealer to assure engine okay. The dealer found no fault with the vehicle. A consumer reporter publication, had 18 same year same model hyundais with high speed right turn engine failures, but no fix of the problem by dealer or private mechanics for the 18 hyundai owners. It appears hyundai is hiding this right turn fault from nhsa, and the public. 18 had repeat incidents after the initial failure.
Suddenly my car developed a new issue of sudden acceleration while stopped/idle. While my foot is on gas, the car will suddenly jerk forward/rpm increase. However, so far while my foot is on the brake, i haven't moved as far as i can tell but fearful it might happen while driving or it will drive forward even with foot on brake.
I'm writing to notify you of my reoccurring issue on my 2013 hyundai elantra.upon purchasing my vehicle on or about 5,000 miles, my car would have false starts.i brought the issue up during one of my early maintenance visits at danbury hyundai which was on december 1, 2012, in which they stated to me that they were my headlights. Any individual with common sense knows transmission and starter issues have no correlation to headlights.in any event, my car began not igniting at all on or about 56,000 miles (video footage of this will be provided if needed). Prior to this, it would have false starts occasionally throughout the year but never on a daily basis until recently.i've had my car towed twice in the month of august to danbury hyundai and both occasions they said there is nothing they can do for me.as you can imagine, having lemon of a car since the purchase is extremely frustrating and i warn everyone around me to never purchase a hyundai unless you want to pump your gas and wait an hour for your car to start, if that's the kind of reliability you want then go for it. On september 9th, 2015, my car was returned to me and was working properly until yesterday september 16th.please be advised that at 4:08 p.m. Leaving work my car would not recognize the gears and would not start and at 7:19p.m. The same issue occurred.google search yielded others with my car who have the same issue! these are brand new cars being issued!! http://www.carcomplaints.com/hyundai/elantra/2013/electrical/engine_wont_turnover_wont_start.shtmlhttp://www.hyundai-forums.com/md-2011-present-elantra-sedan-coupe/161056-2013-elantra-will-not-start.htmlhttp://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t40609_ds554427

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.
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 anda 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 drivinga 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.
While driving home from work the check engine light turned on. I drive eight miles with it on. It didn't make any sound or anything that concerned me, aside from the light. Parked it at home and went to get a code reader. Tried to start it and it wouldn't start. Had to flat bed it to a repair shop and they said the engine needed replaced. I only have 114k miles. Kept up on maintenance. Had it in a month prior for brakes and it was looked inner with no problems. Hyundai will do nothing because it is over warranty. Prior to all of this i had problems with it within the first six months of owning it. Have had the power steering rack replaced , master cylinder, slave cylinder twice, along with multiple other issues including sporadically pulling hard to the left for no apparent reason, before it was even at 16k.

I was coming off of interstate 95 onto my exitand i applied my brake to slow my car but my brake apparently gave out and was not working . It make a loud sound like it was trying to hold but it didn't and in order to stop my car from hitting any others or people standing at the side of the road i tried steering it toward the closest curb so that i could prevent as much as possible within my power. My airbags didn't deploy but the car hit hard enough that my face slammed into the steering wheel, i sustained a concussion and damaged my face and glasses. I have muscle strains in my back, neck and still a swollen eye and cheek bone.

I just bought the 2013 limited hyundai elantra over the easter weekend, on 3/31/13. Two days after buying it, i noticed the light in the dash showing whether the headlights were on or not was no longer working, but i put it up to the fact i was driving at dawn/dusk and they were probably not "on" even though the driving lights were on and showing as "on". However on 4/6/13 when driving at 10pm at night with the headlights most certainly "on" the indicator light still did not come on.
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.
Exterior lighting - parking lights turning on while car is turned off and parked. Usually happens overnight when the temperature drops close to or below freezing. Also headlights turning off on their own while car is running and turn signals are used. Hyundai dealership looked at car three times and could not reproduce the problem, and the only parts they replaced were a switch inhibitor (part 42700-26500) and a new car battery. None of this corrected the issue and they don't have a solution for us other than to complain to hyundai. This leaves us with a car that is unsafe to drive at night and with a constant dead car battery. The hyundai customer service case number we have is 9687427, and so far they have no solution for us and have not contacted us back for weeks now.

Brake lights all burnt out at the same time including the 3rd brake light - replaced the brake light sensor and all light bulbs - was notified by another driver the brake lights did not work - the cost for repair was $135.00 - i can see maybe 1 light out but not all brake lights out at the same time
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that while driving at night, the headlights flashed off and on without warning. The contact stated that the headlamp switch had to be manipulated by hand for the headlamps to operate as intended. Additionally, the contact stated that the bulbs were replaced quite often.

Two issues: (1) i purchased the vehicle on may 26, 2013. I found out that the gov. Had issued a recall for the elantra models built from 11-12-2010 through 3-5-2013. My car was assembled on feb, 22, 2013. I was never told about this at time of purchase and have never received any notification from hyundai motor america. The dealers are not responsive. (2) the "auto-dimming rearview mirror with homelink & compass" rarely functions. Real problem is that mirror image and headlights are same intensity/ clarity whether unit is turned on or off--very dangerous at night. The dealer i purchased car from and another dealer refused to investigate.

Purchased a new 2013 hyundai elantra gls 4 door.once a person turns on their daytime running lights all of the vehicles parking lights turn on as well. No other car manufacture has mandated all this illumination during daytime hours. On august 3rd 2012 at 11:40am i was issued a moving violation by a los angeles police officer in the city of van nuys, c.a. I was cited for violating california vehicle code section 24800 which states "no vehicle shall be driven at any time with the parking lamps lighted except when the lamps are being used as turn signal lamps or when the headlamps are also illuminated". I explained the scenario to my lawyer and he advised me that the citation is valid because in c.a. The word headlamps in vc section 24800 is interpreted by the courts as the vehicles primary source of forward illumination and daytime running lights do not fall into this primary source category. To avoid future citations i highly recommend that if you operate any 2013+ hyundai product do not use the daytime running light feature because the parking lights will light up and you will be subject to a citation. I advised hyundai via a recorded phone call about this problem. If they do not take proper action to correct this they will be considered negligent.
Brakes don't want to stop even after i've got them repaired brake lights keep going out even after the bulbs has been replaced
All break lights stopped working, rear bar and both tail lights. Was informed by the nearby driver that lights weren't working.
The daytime running light drl system on this car is flawed. A proper drl system requires no user action to activate and only illuminates the lower beam lights. On my 2013 elantra, you have to turn the lighting stalk to the parking lamp position in order to activate them and when you do, the low beams and all 4 parking lamps illuminate. This is not how it is supposed to work. Also my battery ran down unexpectedly and the tow driver said it strains the battery when you leave the stalk in an "on" position.
I am replacing brake light bulbs a little to often i believe. And when i contact hyundaithey 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. Butafter 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 amcurious am i the only one having these problems ???
The parking light come on randomly.even when the switch it turned to the off position.this causes the battery to run down. The only way to shut them off is to disconnect the battery cable.when 1st noticed the vehicle had not been driven for three days.it has happened several times since i first noticed it.several other hyundai owners have reported the same problem.mostly with parking lights , but a few said it was their brake lights.
There are no true daytime running lights as advertised since one has to turn on all the other running lights (amber for front, red in rear) in order for the low beam "drls" to function. This is illegal to do in some states and drivers have been stopped, warned, and even ticketed for this. This is both a serious safety issue, as well as gross misadvertising.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving 54 mph, the service indicators illuminated, the headlights failed to illuminate, and the steering wheel seized. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and attempted to turn the headlights on and off, but they failed to respond. The contact continued driving, but the vehicle stalled and failed to restart. The vehicle was pushed to the contact's residence.

The failure mileage was not available.
Driver's side headlight routinely burns out. Mechanic says he has been seeing this with elantras regularly.
Daytime running lights do not come on at start of vehicle. Also every exterior lights comes on as do internal dashboard lights get dimmer which can affect seeing my mileage, fuel, andradiator.
I have owned my 2013 hyundai elantrasince march 2019. And i have had to replace signal light 2 times. And brake lights 2 times. Is this a normal thing with these vehicles.
I recently purchased a new hyundai elantra gls. One of the features on the sticker claims that there are daytime running lights.the switch that turns on/off the headlights is also the "drl off/on" switch. I contacted hyundai via email and they refer me to the owners manual.in the state of georgia its illegal to drive with the parking lights on during the day (unless it's raining or visibility is hundred. I believe it may be illegal in other states also.these are not daytime running lights.the sticker on the car may claim it has daytime running lights, but its miss leading and it seems as a lie.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While the vehicle was parked, the battery died and the vehicle had to be jumpstarted in order to get to the contact's residence.

The brake lights continued to remain illuminated at all times. The contact called the dealer (jenkins hyundai in leesburg, florida) and was informed that the vin was not included in a recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 62,000.
Since i owning this car i have had problems with all lights. Both headlight lamps had to be replaced due to a defect. Also i had been replacing tail, brake, and turning signal lights at every oil change because one or the other will be out. I have never had to replace this many bulbs on any other car i have owned.this oil change june 27, 2020 i had 3 bulbs out break, tail light and parking light all out at the same time. This has been and feels like it's going to be an on going problem not to mention the cost everytime they need to be replaced.them light are not cheap.
Car is advertised as having day time running lights, but the drl only turns on with the parking lights. Dealer and hyundai both state this is normal for the car. This not how any other car i have driven is like. Using parking lights during the day is illegal in many states.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that when completing a left turn, the left turn signal would continue to flash. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that there was nothing they could do to assist with the issue. The vehicle was not repaired.the failure and the current mileage was 1,100.
Car claims it has daytime running lights, yet it really doesn't.you have to turn on the parking lights for the drl to actually come on.so then you have the parking lights on front, rear taillights as well as the drl.this is a safety issue, i believe some states have laws against running parking lights on clear days? other cars i have own, the drl comes on automatically when driving.called hyundai and dealership, got the brush off as that is just the way it is.actually after some research i found that a software change made in mid 2012 is what did this issue.should be a recall!it is also a mis-leading sales, what next, must roll window down for the a/c to come on?
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the rear brake light bulbs would fail to illuminate every three to four months. Also, the tail and brake lights failed to work even with the new bulbs. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 17v769000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 90,000.
Since purchasing the car in 2013, we have had an issue with the parking lights, and sometimes headlights, coming back on after being off for several hours or we wake up to having a dead battery. This has happened over and over. In 2013 i took it to the dealership where we purchased for same problem and/or dead battery. Never happened at dealership. Our security camera has caught it popping on, or like yesterday, out neighbor called us (again) to tell us lights were on. This is with the headlight switch all the way off. We have tried to figure it out but can not. I did report again to hyundai this past february, march, april 2021. Again, the car was parked and off every single time with lights confirmed off to only come on later with car off and still locked. It has to have key in it to start.
I have had to replace several exterior lights ( light bulbs) in the 7 years i have owned my car, including rear brake lights, rear turning signal lights, rear tail lights, and front headlight bulbs. I currently have a left side rear brake light that continues to go out every 3-6 months, just had it replaced by my auto shop 3-4 months ago with inspection of the wiring to that light (found to be ok).
Theyre was a recall on,my brakes in 2016 the hyundai shop said it was already fixed and now i have to pay but it has messed up again i have no brake lights.i didn't tv notice if i,bought it this way or just happened
I got this car a few days ago.the window sticker claims it has daytime running lights.the lighting stock has three options.the options are "drl off, daytime lights, and night time lights."when daytime lights are activated, it activates the daytime running lights, but also activates rear lights and dims interior gauge lights to "night lighting" levels.this poses several safety risks.firstly, people may struggle to read interior gauges when driving during the day, increasing the risk of a collision.secondly, the activated rear lights adds confusion during the day and could increase the risk of other motorists crashing into the rear.
For the brakes and lighting issue, my brake lights go bad every couple of months and need changed. I believe this is possibly to do with the recall for brakes. I have had people on many occasions stop me in traffic to let me know an entire side of lights were out at once. I have been pulled over more than once as well for my brake lights in the four years i've had my car. I always keep spare lights in my car for this reason. I called a&b kia, where i bought my car, who said my car was not part of the recall. However, with the many issues i've had with my brake lights i believe it is related. More recently than my brakes, my cruise control has stopped working. Within the past year it has slowly went from working sometimes to not working at all. Other functions on the steering wheel, such as volume and radio controls have not been affected.
I have replaced every light in the rear of this car over and over for the past year. The rear brake light actually melted.i have never had so many issues with rear lights in a car.
I am having trouble with the exterior lights on my vehicle. That includes brake lights, tail lights, head lights, turn signals (front and rear). I am constantly replacing them as one or several are always out.my safety and/or the safety of others are put at risk because of no brake lights, someone may rear end me, or having difficulty seeing in front of me at night when head lights fail.i've taken my vehicle to several different locations to have my bulbs changed, and i've also changed a few myself.there is no way to know when a brake light is out, unless i'm getting an oil change, as i did today, and had to pay to have two more bulbs replaced, and thankfully he was kind enough to charge the 3rd at no cost. I've also been pulled over to let me know my bulbs weren't working, or having random people in traffic let me know.
When attempting to change the license plate bulbs it was noticed that the license plate bulb housing, as well as the outer tail lamp housings, showed evidence of the internal plastics melting. It appears that the heat from the lamps was enough to cause the housings and internal lense plastics to heat beyond the glass transition temperature of the plastics utilized by hyundai. Both outer tail lamp housings and license plate bulb houses were replaced due to the damaged. The original bulbs were all checked to ensure they were correct per the vehicle manual, which they were.
Takata recall i have recently had my airbag light come on on my car. I have waited a month or two and the light will not go off. I have done numerous amounts of research and found out that this is an extremely popular malfunction with hyundai sonatas and hyundai elantras from the year of 2012. The problem happened right after i rolled over my 100,000 mile warranty so it was covered no longer. This is a safety concern to many people as this is a very popular car. I've had diagnostics done on my car and told it was the clock spring that has malfunctioned. Reviews also have the same malfunction.
Brake light is staying on at all times. I even replaced them and one still stays on at all times
My 2013 elantra gt came equipped with factory drl's (daytime running lamps). Reading the owners manual completely, i've found the info on the light switch stalk settings misleading & doesn't offer a clear explanation.. The light switch indicates positions for, "drl off, parking lamps & headlamps", but the only way to operate drl's are while parking lamps switched on. That means, drl's along with full nighttime illumination of every exterior light except headlamps, including front & rear parking lights, side marker lamps & license plate lamps. I find the "limited" models have automatic headlamps control & are not included in this issue because their drl's run independent of other exterior lamps.i have contacted the dealer with this concern & was told, it is characteristic of this model (excluding the limited models).it is illegal in some states to run parking lamps, plus in order to have drl's on, the vehicle must provide extra power (reduced mpg's) to run all those other lamps, reduces bulb life, etc. In addition, the dash light illumination does not dim from full-bright when headlamps are switched on. There is a manual dimmer switch, but dimming must be raised/lowered each time before driving in day or night conditions. What other vehicle does this? these things seem to be an oversight on the part of hyundai. No indication or discernible differences on instrumentation whether drl parking lamps or headlights are on.
My brake lights do not work, i've had them replaced 3 times. My rpms do not work when i push the gas, the vehicle won't go more than 20 mph, when changing my gears, it doesn't work, and when i am at a stop light or just sitting in a parking lot with the vehicle running it turns off on it's own. When i try to start the vehicle it won't turn most the time.
I recently got a new hyundai elantra gls.the sticker claims that there are daytime running lights.when i called the dealer to find out why the daytime running lights on my car do not come on, they could not figure it out and suggested i call hyundai. The same switch that turns off the headlights is also the "drl off" switch. There is no separate "drl on" switch. The hyundai case manager told me that on the american-made models it is necessary to turn the parking lights on, and that this is the daytime running light system.every car has parking lights; they are not on whenever a vehicle is running and must be turned on. These are notdaytime running lights.daytime running lights are supposed to be on whenever the headlights are not on. The sticker on the car may claim that the car has daytime running lights, but it seems to me that this is a lie; there are no daytime running lights on the car. A significant safety feature has been left off the car.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the tail lights needed to be replaced due to the rear brake lights remaining illuminated even when the vehicle was turned off. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v574000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The vehicle was taken to conicelli hyundai (located at west 1208 ridge pike, conshohocken, pa 19428, (610) 624-2029) where it was diagnosed that the failure was due to wear and tear. The rear tail lights were replaced; however, the failure recurred. The contact also stated that the wiring harness in the tail lights melted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000. The vin was not available.
I am the only owner of my 2013 hyundai elantra that i bought brand new.i have had several issues electrical with lighting turning on and off - i thought i was burning through bulbs quickly but i can go over a bump and brake lights or interior lights will start to work again. This has been ongoing. I recently started hearing a loud engine knock which the hyundai dealership told me is normal and would go away once it warmed up.turns out when i took it to a mechanic who is honest and know what he is talking about that it is a wrist pin....which means a whole new engine. My car is now just out of warranty and hyundai does not want to assist even though there are many cases with 2013 hyundai motors that are bad. There should be a recall on this but isn't. The nhtsa should step in and make hyundai do the right thing.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the daytime running lights were not engaging automatically when starting the engine. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The mechanic stated that the parking lights needed to be activated in order for the daylight running lights to operate normally. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,000. The vin was unavailable.
Rear signal and tail lights frequently become loose in lamp sockets and fail to properly function. Light fixtures must be accessed to reset the lamp, bulb. Vehicle only has about 57,000 miles and this has been occurring from around 34,000 miles. 3 each tail light and 1 license plate light have also burned out and were replaced. Same problem continues with bulbs loosening up at frequent intervals. Occurs at any period, stopped or in motion.
Engine failure. Zero compression cylinder #1. Second time this has happened since purchase on 10/18/2016. Also, tire pressure problem, esc light comes on, dashboard gauges inoperative. Fuel mileage below what is advertised. Neither hundai nor enterprise will fix the problem after repeated demands. Also, there is a recall regarding "stopper pad" and stop lamp switch. Bought vehicle, cash, from enterprise car sales in montclair, ca. It was a "certified" used car, supposedly. Immediately i noticed that the engine sounded "tinny". Sounded like a sewing machine, it was knocking. Also, when i lifted the oil stick, smoke came out of engine. This was within 2 weeks after purchase. The car completely lost compression on interstate 10 in april, 2015. I told both hyundai and enterprise who ignored my complaints. Finally, after several complaints and threats, enterprise took the car in and sent it to hyundai dealership who claimed there was no problem. The car began losing power again in september, 2016 and finally stopped in the middle of the street in arcadia, ca. No compression. It had to be towed to my house. I took it to private shop who said "zero compression in cylinder #1, possible burned out valve '. See attached. Called hyindai and enterprise again. Both denied responsibility, and refused to do anything. I have to now pay over $1,000 to get engine rebuilt. This car is a lemon and i am enttied to refund or a new car.
Car is advertised as having daytime running lights (drl's).the drl's do not operate normally on my 2013 hyundai elantra coupe as they are not on "automatically" when driving.if the light stalk is in the off position the drl's are off.when i turn the drl's on, the parking lights (amber side lights and the rear tail lights) are turned on as well. In addition to it being illegal in some states to drive with parking lights on this setup makes my brake lights less noticeable during the day (when i do brake) as they are already lit up.also, when turning the drl's on,the interior gauge lights are automatically dimmed which is a feature for night driving, not daytime driving with drl's.
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
Our cruise control (cc) switches on the steering have stopped working!the behavior was un-predicable and dangerous forwhile when hitting cancel button would "engage" the cc.this is a serious safety issue since it could cause accidents.i believe this is due to the poor design on the connector that connects the wires from the cc switches to the steering case. The connector is placed right under the horn cover and we believe the connector gets squeezed every time the horn is used.i tested this myself and was able to get the cc to work after lifting the horn covers forward section which reducedthe pressure from the connector right underneath it!when i did this, hitting the cc.once again this is a serious safety issue cause drivers could assume they are disabling the cc, when they could actually be activating cc which will cause accidents.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that both tail lights failed to illuminate. The contact had to tap the tail lights in order for the lights to illuminate. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 59,000.
Randomly last week, the red airbag light appeared on my dash. The light would go off and on about every 5-10 minutes, while driving and stationary. Some days, the length of time it was off would extend longer than other. Over the last two days, the light has remained on consistently. I read similar issues online from other 2013 hyundai elantra owners who stated that the driver airbag will not deploy if this light is on in the event of a collision. Yet, i found no recalls online. I have not had any prior issues with false warning lights and the car has not been in any type of accident in over 4 years. There is no way for me to maintain these safety features in my car so i will not pay hundreds of dollars to fix an issue that was not caused due lack of owner diligence. However, i need to ensure my car will deploy any safety functions in the event of an accident when triggered.
This car is equipped with daytime running lights, but there is no way to turn them on without also turning on the parking lights.when the daytime running lights and parking lights are illuminated, the taillights are on and the instrument cluster is dimmed so that it is difficult to read.this creates an unsafe and in some states (california and others) illegal situation if the daytime running lights are turned on.
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.
My wife was driving the car. It was a dark road in the night. Perhaps she didn't see the stop sign and crashed into a vehicle coming from right hand side, going in the same direction my wife was going. My wife crashed the other vehicle from behind.it was serious crash in which the entire front portion of the car is damaged. But the air bags did not come out. My wife had her head hit the steering wheel and had an injury.my complaint is "why did the air bag not inflate in such a serious crash?" ..updated 10/06/14 . Updated 05/13/2015
I have been having electrical issues for about 1 1/2 years. The radio turns off when breaking and signaling. Not every time but about 2/3 of the time. Occasionally the dash will go out. The interior lights flicker (all the time) as well as the head lights. Not sure about the back lights because i can't see them but i assume. The temperature gauge does not light up sometimes. No bars are displayed. The trip computer resets at least 4 times a week. The avg mpg, mph, trip a and b will start over at 0.0. Turning left makes the car shutter and turn off in mid traffic or when in a drive thru. The steering wheel locks up/stiff steering. The eps light comes on. Have to turn car off and back on to alleviate the issue. While the car is idling with the air conditioner on the car will cycle and just about turn off
The day time running lightson my new 2013 elantra do not work properly.the lights do not come on automatically. The owner's manual doesn't provide correct information on how this feature works. The only way to have day time running lights is to turn on the parking lights, which also means the tail lights and the dash lights come on.how can a dealer claim the day time running light feature is included when it truly isn't.this is a dangerous situation and no way are these truly day time running lights. Why no recall on this problem??

Only when wet braking starts to make noise and act like it want stop. It has new brakes.*dt
I was in motion and my emergency brake did not work . I continue down hill and to avoid on coming traffic,,i turn to the right to hit the fence. My air bags never open. Tha k godi always were my seat belts.
The first incident occurred as i was on an on ramp about to merge on to a highway. The car lost power and acted like it was about to stall -though there was gas (it was about 1/4 full); its an automatic so as far as i could tell it was not in the wrong gear. It revved up but did not gain any speed. Somehow it recovered and i was able to continue without further incident. I am not sure where this falls - but even though we balance and rotate the tires every 5000 miles the car has been pulling to the right. When it is windy or if the road is bumpy you have to grip the steering wheel very tightly to keep it in the lane.
I purchased this vehicle based on the gas mileage rating and the 5 star safety rating.i traded a 2012 vw passat se for the elantra gt.the elantra cost $5,000 less, but the insurance is $600 more annually. The vw was rated 31 mpg highway, but averaged 33+ mpg highway: the elantra was rated at 37 mpg highway, but at 4 different speeds (resetting the indicator between speeds), the best mileage is 32 mpg.to make matters worse, the car had to be refueled at 400 miles because of the small gas tank.not touting the vw, but i drove 540 between fillups.i am seeing a lot of hyundai's on the road, but this car is a big disappointment.the nhtsa has a 5 star safety rating, so why does my insurance cost more? how can the government allow a 37 mpg rating on a car that gets at best 32 mpg on the highway?
2013 hyundai elantra.consumer writes in regards to dealership fraudulent tactics and wants dealership to purchase vehicle back.the consumer stated he never test drove the vehicle and the purchase was made strictly on the claim of the outstanding gas mileage that was posted on the sticker on the window which read 34 mpg city and 40 mpg highway.the consumer stated after making the deal, the general manager informed him that hyundai was having problem with the vehicle mileage actually living up to the advertised figures.the consumer contacted the dealer and informed them, the vehicle was only getting an overall mileage of 26 mpg.the dealer drove the vehicle a 150 miles, and they claimed the vehicle was getting 34 mpg. The consumer documented the all the gas mileage, and the best was 28 mpg and the worst was 25 mpg. The consumer also noticed the window sticker was gone when he arrived home. After requesting a new sticker for over six weeks, the dealer finally gave him a sticker. However, the gas mileage was different on the sticker.
The sheet that came with the car says 28 mpg in city driving. I get 20-21 in the city. When i take it to automax hyundai they do a road mileage test and say it get 42 mpg. I tell them that i am not concerned with road mileage since i only do city driving. They do not have equipment necessary to check city mileage and are not concerned at all about my city mileage problem.
We were driving to take one of my kids dr appointment.we stopped to get drinks for the road.we turned the car off came back to leave and it would not start fix the problem that it said and that didnt fix it.when you go to start it it wants to turn over but cant catch everything still works the way it should pistons move have power to everything,timing chain didnt jump the spark plugs still all get spark.
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.
2013 hyundai elantra. While stationary, in city street, turning or not not turning, uncontrolled engine racing to at least 5000 rpm. To stop racing without an accident, i have to put the car in neutral and a) engine speed may go back to normal or b) repeatedlystep on gas pedal to disengage racing engine. Or c) turn off engine key and try to restart. This has occurred numerous times
My 2013 hyundai elantra with approx. 75,000 miles, and no mechanical or cosmetic issues, caught fire while parked and turned off for 10 minutes at tavern in the square restaurant in lowell, ma.patrons who were parked nearby heard what sounded like electrical sparks and then witnessed smoke coming from the hood which then burst into flames.they ran in to retrieve my family and i and the fire department came within 10 minutes to extinguish the flames but the car was completely destroyed by that time.i have videos and pictures that can be forwarded to you. I have attempted to contact hyundai customer service but was on hold for 40 minutes and immediately disconnected before speaking to anyone. This has been extremely stressful emotionally and financially.the car was in our garage just 30 minutes prior and this could have been much worse.there is obviously a history of issues with some other hyundai vehicles which i wasn't aware of until now but i don't see that my car was listed as a possible recall for electrical fires.it was my only mode of transportation and every penny i earned was used to purchase this vehicle less than one year ago.i do not have insurance that would cover this situation so this is a total loss. Please let me know how to proceed and also where to forward the video and photo details.
While turning into a parking spot. My car suddenly jumped and accelerated and slammed into a concrete barrier. The air bag also did not deploy.
The car feels like it can't get power shakes slow to accelerate for half a block then acceleration. It's happened 5 times today. Other days it sounds like it's not running smoothly and then does ok after awhile. This happened with car in park, backing up, going forward, 2 different stops at lightsand 2 more stops til i got home.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that a raw fuel odor entered the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to round rock hyundai (2405 n interstate hwy 35, round rock, tx 78664, (512) 920-5397) on november 15, 2016 to be diagnosed, but they could not duplicate the failure. The failure continued and the vehicle was taken to automax ford (3301 e central texas expy, killeen, tx 76543, 254-699-2629). The dealer ran a full fuel system diagnostic, but they were unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The failure recurred. The contact called the manufacturer and was provided case number: 15964028. The failure mileage was 35,311.
As others have mentioned, i have had both problems starting the vehicle (the car could not be started on two occasions so far, despite having adequate fuel and a charged battery), and with the rear of the car swinging out when traveling over a bump or on slippery road conditions (even at speeds as low as 35 mph, there is a noticeable kick from the rear of the vehicle, which has worsened with time). For both cases, the dealer was unable to find an issue, and/or said any kind problem was "within tolerance."
On 8/11/13 the 2013 hyundai elantra that was purchased 6/3/13 at the fred beans dealership in doyelstown, pa. Unintentionally accelerated and crashed into a concrete wall in the parking lot at king of prussia mall in king of prussia pa. The car was turning into a parking space and when the gas petal was applied the car accelerated full speed into the wall.this is the second time this has happen to a car that was only 9 weeks old.it had happened in our driveway 4 weeks prior to the collision on 8/11/13, but the car was brought under control and we assumed it was just not being familiar with a new car.the car was immediately towed to the dealerships body shop for inspection and a claim was opened with hyundai customer assurance. The car was inspected by an independent inspector several weeks later and after 6 week we have received a letter stating that there was no failure on the manufacturers part and there was nothing they could do. I have requested testing results and documentation from hyundai and i was told it was classified, so i asked for a list of tests performed and it cannot be given to us.we have received several letter from hyundai, none of which had a persons last name or any name at all.i have had the car's body work repaired and have tried to trade the car into the dealership for another new car but the dealership will require another substantial down payment which makes this option unfeasible.the dealership has not had any correspondence with the manufacturer and has requested i formally ask for some monetary relief towards the new car replacement. I have made several requests and have gotten a final "no" decision from hyundai.the car has and still sits at the dealership and i will not allow my daughter to drive an unsafe an undocumented car.please let me know how to proceed.
About 3 months ago my 2013 hyundai elantra became sluggish in accelerating. It has gradually gotten worse. I tried fuel cleaners, premium gas, and now a tune up replacing coil packs and plugs. The vehicle crawls and does not accelerte as quick as it should. It cuts off or refuses to move when givengas at all stops. I switch off then on at red lights as it seems to want to take off when the engine is started. When i reach about 50mph the rpm hand guns and the bottoms out to stay at zero with no change in acceleration. There is now a whirring noise sporadically coming from the engine. After the ti e up the issues continue with cutting off ,rough idling, extremely slow snail accelleration with the engine light on.
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).'
I was getting off the freeway on the off ramo and came to a red light. When the light changed green my car died and i was in left turn lane. I couldn't move the car forward. I didn't have ac and the car would not start at all.

I'm having serious engine problems at only 44k miles including failed ignition coils & sparkplugs-now engine still misfiring & coils going bad one at a time. I'm a single mother & cannot afford engine repairs especially with this low of mileage on the vehicle & after just purchasing it used from carmax in amherst, ny at end of january, 2019. I was told by the repair shop that the ignition coils are defective. Thank you.
Driver was making a left turn into a parking space on 2nd floor of parking garage. As the left turn was made, the elantra gt suddenly accelerated by itself into a wall, hitting a pole and the wall. Hyundai is investigating. Dealer is useless. Right now unsure how to proceed. Exterior can be fixed, but what about the problem?
I've been driving this vehicle as a secondary owner since 64k miles, it's now at about 71k.i keep up with maintenance regularly, but lately it's developed a bit of a noticeable ticking especially when cold, and idles pretty rough when cold, seems to get better as the vehicle heats up.3 times, all spaced out by a couple of months i've also experience a refusal to start, trying again usually gets it to start but one of those times it almost sounded like it was misfiring since it seemed to stumble and nearly stall.i've taken it to two shops and not one of them and has been able to determine the underlying issue like it's not even there, one of them only suggested a battery replacement which funny enough seemed to help it until recently, will be taking to hyundai soon perhaps but i see a trend of very similar symptoms on here.
Motor blown when vehicle had 130000 miles after regular oil changes.
After the completion of my work shift, i return to my vehicle and discovered a fire has taken place. Lucky, the fire didn't get out of control and wasn't active at the time. The passenger seat was completely burnt including the seat covers and the items in the seat. The items in the seat included: steak & shake leftover trash, and a perfume bottle. This fire also damaged a door dash bag that i had in the back passenger seat. Not to mention, the impact of the fire that created black duct all over the vehicle windshields, radio, seats, dashboard etc... No police report, nor fire report has been reported at this given time.
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!!
Ran out of gas despite the gauge showing 42 miles left (about 1.5 gallons).walked to a station and got a gas can; put a couple of gallons in, started the car, and the meter started dropping dramatically, going from 112 miles remaining to 104 to 98... All the way down to 82 miles remaining before i even started driving.drove about a quarter mile, and it fell another 3 miles.don't know yet if the car if the problem is with fuel injection, the gauge, or some issue with the tank itself (air/water leaking in or gas leaking out, etc.).problem occurred the day after bringing the car into the shop for a separate problem.my car is 6 weeks old, and i have broken down two days in a row just driving to work.

On july 18, 2014, my 2013 hyundai elantra ran into a subway restaurant at 12150 s. Cicero, alsip, il.i was going into the subway parking lot, my goal was to park, but my car did not stop when i put on my brakes. My car kept going; it drove over the sidewalk, through the scrubs, and hit the building head on. Hitting the building is what stopped my vehicle, my air bag did not deploy.i then put on the brakes, put it in reverse and backed off the building, backing into the parking place that i was originally going into to park.once my car was parked, it began to smoke.i got out of the car, looked at the damage to my car and the subway building, called my insurance company, state farm and my son.the 2 employees in the subway, called the police and the subway restaurant owner.
After backing into a parking space put the shifter into park it the interment panel said it was in reverse.could not get the transmission out of reverse and shifter would not move..towed to dealer dealer said this is the same problem that the sonata had with transmission linkage falling off the shifter.fixed they said they would not be surprised if the elantra got a recall for this problem.
The car did not start!i drove to pick up my son, turned off and parked the car, got my son, went back in the car, and the car did not turn on.i could hear the noise of the starter. The car only has 45,000 miles. This is unbelievable! this is my first and only complaint of the car, but enough not to buy another hyundai.
The car experienced (1) poor acceleration, (2) check engine light come on, (3) engine stalling, (4) tachometer drops to zero.it was first found the map sensor was faulty. After the sensor was replaced, the car ran but stalled again intermittently. It was found the problem was caused by crank shaft position sensor (fault code p0335). After the senor was replaced about three weeks ago, the car has been running fine.

The contact stated that the stabilitrak and traction control warning indicators flashed, the steering wheel made an abnormal noise when turned in either direction, and the vehicle accelerated slowly when the accelerator pedal was depressed. Rancho grande motors (1404 auto park way, san luis obispo, ca 93405, (805) 543-4745) was notified of the failures. The vehicle was currently at the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 39,600.
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.
While driving on beltway doing 55 mph the vehicle won'taccelerate and also makes sounds when pushing on gas the rpm will be moving back and front even when car not moving. Car smells like something is burning. The car will start to slow down and shut it self off.all lights will turn on then i shut car off completely then turn back on and it starts up like nothing happened this has happened multiple times. Then when sitting still at a light the car shut off.
The front axles are loose, making a clicking noise each time the car accelerates or decelerates. Safety issue may result if the axle becomes loose enough to fall off the chassis.
The vehicle has a faulty range inhibitor. It will occasionally prevent the vehicle from starting because the vehicle will not recognize it is in park. The vehicle is in park when this issue occurs.
A ticking/knocking noise is going on in the engine, powertrain. It's been happening since i bought the vehicle and is worse in cold weather.it is believed to be a valve train issue.the knocking gets worse when i accelerate, also. This appears to be a known problem with 2013 hyundai elantras, but there isn't a recall for the engine.i contacted hyundai and they've been slow to respond. My vehicle is currently with the business that i bought it from.they're using the quick, temporary warranty to get a new used engine, but i'm concerned that the same ticking/knocking noise will occur with the new used engine, because they refuse to use a different brand engine.i'd prefer that hyundai do a straight up recall for the engines that consistently perform this way - with a knocking noise that hinders the performance of the vehicle.
The gear shift in an automatic drive elantra car will not shift back into park occassionaly. With some trying it has gone back into park. This could be potentially dangers to someone who stops on a hill and cannot manuever the gear shift back into park. I was stationary on a level lot both times it happened to me and both times were in a parking lot. This occurred 2 in the last 4 days and the car has a little less than 75,000 miles.

Timing chain is damaged and car is only 5 years old and have kept up with the maintenance
On multiple occasions, and more frequently, once vehicle is put in drive the display goes blank and the car is unable to be moved past neutral to be put in park. Car must be turned off and back on in order to move gear shift to neutral or park.
2013 hyundai elantra. Consumer writes in regards to vehicles stalling for a few seconds in lower gears when trying to accelerate. *ldupdated 11/22/2017
Transmission made a loud scraping noise as i started out from a stop.it was hard to get the car going, buti got the car to go a short distance (about 1/4 mile) but it was too difficult to drive.when i pulled over, i heard the scraping again.i had to call twice for a tow; the first driver said there was nothing wrong except oil under the car.i could not get it going, soi had it towed by a second driver to the closest dealer, who refused to consider that the transmission might have a problem and the fluid might be from that.he refused to check the car unless i paid $110 upfront. Since he had taken out the oil filter, i told him to change the oil; they finally did after some time and then when they tried to drive it, they could not get it to go more than 10 mph, and decided it was the transmission.they kept the car and did not give me a work order, which is contrary to california state law.i had to call the next day to insist that they email it to me.it took seven days for the part to arrive and for them to fix the car, which i picked up on march 5.i am currently having pickup problems in the lower gears (from 0 to 35 mph) with the new transmission.
When driving vehicle would take to awhile to get to speed city street/highway and making a clicking sound while driving.i took the vehicle to the dealership to diagnosis the problem 3/16/18 found that bottom end of engine making a knocking noise thatengine and deteriorated into multiple pieces.at 57041 miles. Ittook at least two weeks for all the parts for the new engine to arrive,.four months later 6/5/18 vehicle motion driving around with a cracked transmission and no check lights came on to reveal there was problems.it was brought to my attention when servicing my vehicle for an oil change, the transmission was cracked with fluid leaking from it at 60922 miles.the transmission had to be replaced with a new one..
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 car feels like it can't get power shakes slow to accelerate for half a block then acceleration. It's happened 5 times today. Other days it sounds like it's not running smoothly and then does ok after awhile. This happened with car in park, backing up, going forward, 2 different stops at lightsand 2 more stops til i got home.
I purchased this vehicle in june 2013. I had no complaints until july of 2014, wherein my car picks and chooses when to start. I have looked online and there are many others who seem to have this complaint. I finally gave in on aug. 24, after my car sat for two days because i could not get it to start. I called the hyundai 24 hour roadside and had them tow it to the nearest dealership. The tow truck driver initially tried to start it, and it didn't. He popped the button nearest the top of the shifter and pressed it in, and put the car in neutral, it then started but sputtered like it wanted to turn off. He was able to drive the car onto the tow truck.the next morning, i spoke with the mechanic at the dealership who indicated that the car was starting for them just fine. He said there are so many sensors that it could be one, but they wouldn't know where to start as there are so many and could not make an educated guess. He wanted to keep it overnight to see if it would act up for them. It is now 2pm two days later and the mechanic claims there is still no issue, he said they have let it run all morning and it is fine. This has become ridiculous, especially when i see so many others with the same complaint, yet nothing being done. Help, nhtsa!

I'm writing to notify you of my reoccurring issue on my 2013 hyundai elantra.upon purchasing my vehicle on or about 5,000 miles, my car would have false starts.i brought the issue up during one of my early maintenance visits at danbury hyundai which was on december 1, 2012, in which they stated to me that they were my headlights. Any individual with common sense knows transmission and starter issues have no correlation to headlights.in any event, my car began not igniting at all on or about 56,000 miles (video footage of this will be provided if needed). Prior to this, it would have false starts occasionally throughout the year but never on a daily basis until recently.i've had my car towed twice in the month of august to danbury hyundai and both occasions they said there is nothing they can do for me.as you can imagine, having lemon of a car since the purchase is extremely frustrating and i warn everyone around me to never purchase a hyundai unless you want to pump your gas and wait an hour for your car to start, if that's the kind of reliability you want then go for it. On september 9th, 2015, my car was returned to me and was working properly until yesterday september 16th.please be advised that at 4:08 p.m. Leaving work my car would not recognize the gears and would not start and at 7:19p.m. The same issue occurred.google search yielded others with my car who have the same issue! these are brand new cars being issued!! http://www.carcomplaints.com/hyundai/elantra/2013/electrical/engine_wont_turnover_wont_start.shtmlhttp://www.hyundai-forums.com/md-2011-present-elantra-sedan-coupe/161056-2013-elantra-will-not-start.htmlhttp://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t40609_ds554427
There are several issues with this vehicle1. 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!
The front axles are loose, making a clicking noise each time the car accelerates or decelerates. Safety issue may result if the axle becomes loose enough to fall off the chassis.
Motor blown when vehicle had 130000 miles after regular oil changes.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the key was difficult to turn over and start the vehicle. The contact had to make several attempts to get the key to turn over in the ignition. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle also hesitated while driving various speeds. The vehicle was taken to the authorized dealer where it was diagnosed that the battery had low voltage and needed to be replaced. The dealer did not provide an in-depth diagnosis and only replaced the part. The contact also continued to experience the vehicle being difficult to shift out of park into other gears and that the failure was progressing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000. Updated 09/08/15*ljupdated 10/26/2017

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 vehicle has a faulty range inhibitor. It will occasionally prevent the vehicle from starting because the vehicle will not recognize it is in park. The vehicle is in park when this issue occurs.
My car was repaired for noise in engine a year and half later making same noise why is that? the computer was updated when i got the recall on it now i have nothing but problems with the same sound of engine

My car has 63,300 miles on it. I bought it used in december 2017, six months and my mechanic is telling me it is the engine and it needs to be replaced.when i bought the car it had a ticking sound, very low.i thought once it idled and i start driving it would go away.i was driving on the freeway recently and my car would not go over 60 mph. The rpm would not go past 2.5.when i exited the freeway, and stopped at the light i had whit smoke coming from my car.when i use my air, i can't accelerate over 40 mph.everyday it's driven it, get's worse.
My engine started making ticking noises around 75000, took car in for 75000 mile maintenance and asked service department to check for noise and car acceleration problems. Tech later told me its normal and nothing they can find wrong with car. Now i see from looking on the internet its a common problem but now my car is out of warranty. I also went in before my warranty ended to have the 100000 mile maintenance service and complained about the same issue, they still said it normal. Today i just contact my local hyundai service department to see what options i have.
I have been having electrical issues for about 1 1/2 years. The radio turns off when breaking and signaling. Not every time but about 2/3 of the time. Occasionally the dash will go out. The interior lights flicker (all the time) as well as the head lights. Not sure about the back lights because i can't see them but i assume. The temperature gauge does not light up sometimes. No bars are displayed. The trip computer resets at least 4 times a week. The avg mpg, mph, trip a and b will start over at 0.0. Turning left makes the car shutter and turn off in mid traffic or when in a drive thru. The steering wheel locks up/stiff steering. The eps light comes on. Have to turn car off and back on to alleviate the issue. While the car is idling with the air conditioner on the car will cycle and just about turn off

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.
Air bag light wont go off...and seat belt fell out of the adjuster
Front passenger in not able to buckle seat belt.when you try to latch the seat belt into the orange/red clasp holder, the seat belt will not stay locked into place.now we wait to see if other seat belts become unlocked while driving or while in an accident.we are also down to only having 4 seats available in the car.
The airbag light came on and stayed on - took to dealer to find out why - told the air bag control module needed replaced (code b1620) at a whopping cost of $1400!plus the $110 it cost me to have it diagnosed.i have a warranty however this safety issue is not covered and i find that very upsetting as there are many complaints on air bags not going off because of this unit!the car is 5 years old and has less than 100,000 miles on it.this should not go bad and if it does hyundai should take care of it as it is a safety issue!how many people have to be seriously injured or worse die before hyundai gets involved? its a safety issue that should be covered - obviously profits out weigh safety with them.
Takata recalls. My radio bluetooth doesn't work nor does the usb. I'm constantly having to change rear lightbulbs. When my car reaches a certain speed it starts to shake. My tire sensor put a hole in my tire. My seat belts will not connect. I'm just had to change the alternator. And the engine makes a ticking sound.
I have only had this car for three months. Two weeks ago the air bag light off kept appearing while driving. Then 3 days ago the driver side seat belt locked. It will not release. I have read a lot of forums from many others with the same problem from hyundai cars. The dealership charges 500-1500$ just to fix 1 seatbelt. Its a safety problem as well as fraud.
During merge onto a major dallas tollway, traffic became stopped in the right lane and upon applying a hard brake of my car, the anti-lock brakes failed to engage, the seatbelt did not lock, my car felt as though it was accelerating even though i was pressing the brake pad hard.i hit the car in front of me once and then again before my car stopped, still running.my car sustained $8500 in damage to the front end, but the air bag did not even deploy. I have owned it for 15 months and have not had an issue of this nature in the past, however i am now concerned of the safety of this vehicle.
On engine start up, the air bag warning light was activated indicating failure with either the airbag or supplement restraint system.dealer diagnostics indicated the "clockspring" part had failed.this part has failed often enough that hyundai has extended warranty on "some models of 2011-2014" elantra, but not the model of my car even though it is the same part that is on all 2011-2014 elantra models.should it fail while the vehicle is moving, then the driver's airbag may not deploy during an accident or the supplement restraint system may not work.the "clockspring" part connects to the speed control system.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While idling at a stop light, the contact's vehicle was rear ended by another vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed. As a result, the contact rear ended the preceding vehicle. None of the air bags deployed and the seat belt failed to restrain the contact. The visor fell down and partially prevented further head injury. A police report was filed. The driver sustained hip bruising, back pain, right leg pain, face abrasions, and wrist pain (mainly the left wrist). Medical attention was required. A police report was filed. The insurance company towed the vehicle to senn's collision repair center. The vehicle was not diagnosed by an independent mechanic or a dealer concerning the air bag and seat belt failure. Within a week, the manufacturer was notified of the crash and stated that an investigation could take up to six weeks or longer. The contact was waiting on a response. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 13v115000 (air bags and structure). The approximate failure mileage was 83,000.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving, the seat belt warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to hyundai of st. Augustine (2898 u.s. 1, st augustine, fl 32086, (904) 797-7800) where it was diagnosed that the clock spring in the steering wheel needed to be replaced because it was causing the seat belt indicator to illuminate. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that they would contact the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
Retraction seat belts are defective !my son fail asleep in back, while in seat belt. Somehow he was loop inside belt.i released belt knuckle.the belt pull in upwards fast retracting"but i couldn't pull out" the belt to get him out of the tangle.somehow he was being strangle around the stomach area.it then became a life threatening.i had nothing on me to cut the belt with.,just a cell phone to call 911.the responders task force couldn't believe the belt wouldn't pull out.the car sitting in park no keys in it.all door's were open & trunk.and search all over for somekind of release device.the owner's manual mention nothing about a safety release button on seat belt.the camera phones was used to document belt problem.
After starting car i tried to put the driver left side seatbelt on.it seemed to be stuck and would not budge after trying to pull over me.i noticed other people who owned hyundai cars same year also had the same trouble.when i called the dealership they gave me a quote of $500.not only does is this a safety hazard but fraudulent as well.hyundai corporation sent me a letter stating it was not a lemon.i never said it was.but it is defective and should be recalled!
Driver side seat belt will not fasten.air conditioner is not working, car blowing hot air.
Takata recall the drovers side seat belt pops out. It will be in, locked and as i'm driving down the road it will just release. It has been happening more and more.
When i start my car the engine ticks i believe it's supposed to be a piston issue also my seatbelts don't properly secure i have to use excessive force to buckle it
Are you aware that there is no notification to the driver if the passenger seatbelt is not being used by the front seat passenger?
1. The fabric on the seats is not colorfast. Any drop of clean water looks like a stain when it dries. 2. My steering wheel knocks when turned left and right, when in motion and stationary. It is the u-joint behind the break peddle from the steering column making a knocking/clunking noise.
After the completion of my work shift, i return to my vehicle and discovered a fire has taken place. Lucky, the fire didn't get out of control and wasn't active at the time. The passenger seat was completely burnt including the seat covers and the items in the seat. The items in the seat included: steak & shake leftover trash, and a perfume bottle. This fire also damaged a door dash bag that i had in the back passenger seat. Not to mention, the impact of the fire that created black duct all over the vehicle windshields, radio, seats, dashboard etc... No police report, nor fire report has been reported at this given time.
The trunk latch fails and there is no way to get into your trunk for spare tires, medications, safety items, etc. Without destroying and cutting through the back seat. If you google 2013 trunk latch failure, it is very very common. This should have been recalled. We carry life saving medications in our trunk daily. If someone were stranded on the side of the road, only to find out the latch failed, they would be in danger. $400 to repair this issue which happens repeatedly to some customers is not ok. How safe are seats that have to be cut through to get to the trunk latch? they said the parts won't show where it was cut behind the seats, but it seems like that would affect safety as well.
My car was stopped in a 45 mph zone when it was rear-ended by a truck.at the time of collision my seat moved back rapidly on the rails and the back of the seat flipped down several stops.of a passenger had been seated behind me she would have likely been injured.i wonder if this seat is safe and if there have been similar incidents?it could be a recall item.i was advised by hyundai customer service to take it to the nearest dealer and have it checked.the car is in the body shop and nearest dealer is 60 miles...
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that while traveling approximately 35 mph, the brakes failed to immediately respondand the rear end the vehicle veered to the side. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the technician stated that was the way the vehicle was designed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 600 and the current mileage was 12,000.
It was the first snow storm in nj. I was driving, got a red light and was slowing down the car. There were a couple of cars stopping at red light. My car was almost stopped also but the last moment, the brake wouldn't work and just helplessly slid and hit the car in front of me. I was the first time i got an accident and there were so many small accidents around so i thought it was my mistake somehow. But afterwards, i get similar issues and i don't feel safe any more. My car is just one year old. I have been driving for 10 years, never had this kind of issue before.
I had to stop moderately hard at 50 mph and when i did my brakes made a loud grinding noise and vibrated very rough.i found out there was a hyundai tsb campaign for the brakes issued december 2012 and that they should have been replaced by the dealer before the car was sold but the dealership (key hyundai in jacksonville, fl) neglected to replace the defective pads.
I was in the far left lane of interstate 255 in southern illinois. A tractor trailer was in the process of cutting my off when i honked and he proceed back into his lane. I had brake quickly and with both hands on the wheel when the car lost control and i was swerving within the lane for around2 minutes before i could regain control of the car. I almost clipped another car as well as the median, but barley missed both. I had both hands on the wheel, i did not stomp on the brakes, and yet i still lost control of the car. It also constantly sways to one side as well as the brakes lose grip if you run over any bump at all. You guys need to recall these cars, they are not safe and i am not paying almost 400 dollars a month for a car that could easily injure me in an accident.
At 11:15am i was driving south bound on i-294 mile marker 29 going about 60 mph in the fast lane on the left.when all of a sudden my engine light, battery light, and all the lights on the dash board lit up, at the exact same time my car began to spin.i began to spin 360 degrees, into 2 of the right lanes as i turned the steering wheel i began to spin 3 lanes back to the left.by the time i stopped spinning i had spun into the emergency lane facing south.fortunately the speeding cars were able to dodge hitting me and i ended up in the emergency lane without hitting the median strip or any cars or truck.my car appeared to be in perfect condition except my dash board lights were lite but i had noticed that the heat went off simultaneously with the lights on the dash board turning on.i had never had anything like this happen before.i called 911 and a state trooper came along with i-dot who advised me to call for a tow and they pulled off leaving me in a dangerous spot with no hazard lights in the light drizzle.it began to rain and eventually snow. After2 hours i called *999 to inform them that i was still on the side of the road and that cars wouldn't be able to see me due to the sleet and the slight fog it was creating.i also let them know that the tow company didn't want to tow me from the left side of the highway.i-dot came, tried to jump my car, and then left me to wait for the tow truck. After a total 4 hours the tow truck finally arrived and towed me to pep boys.once at pep boys they stated that my battery was dead but my alternator was working properly.they replaced the battery and i drove home 6 miles without incident. My hyundai gave me no warning and turned off while driving on the highway for no apparent reason.i blessed to have escaped death and a massive truck and car pile-up on i-294 right outside of chicago.
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.
Braking difficultiesand air bags structure.
Vehicle sudden acceleration after pressing brakes and trying to park:as i was turning into a parking space (less than 5 mph), in front of a grocery store to park the car, the vehicle suddenly accelerated, hit a lighting pole and completely damaged the front of the car.pressing the brakes even harder could not stop the car.the car finally came to a halt as it hit the pole (thankfully no one was injured).the air bag did not come on, my head and neck hit the brakes. Thankfully, i was not injured and no one else was either.brakes completely failed, the manufacturer was made aware of it but could not find anything defective in the car.this is very scary.
The contact owned a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving approximately 15 mph and attempting to slow down, the brake pedal traveled all the way down to the floorboard. While trying to avoid other vehicles, the contact struck a tree. The driver's side air bag deployed. The contact was airlifted to a hospital in birmingham, alabama and was diagnosed with whiplash symptoms, spinal injuries, and leg bruises. The contact had to stay at the hospital for two days. The police and fire departments were present and a police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to an unknown impound lot nearby. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 167,000.
Was taking trash to the dump, 1 person's worth, going 5 mph 1/ of mile from my home, car veered to right edge of pavement, and where a bulldozer had drug road edges and broke pavement off, caused me to hit a tree at a very slow speed. I reversed car, backed up 50 ft. And car shut itself off & windshield got extremely hot, and i got out of vehicle, smoke coming from hood area, left my purse, and walked across road to ask for fire extinguisher. Man had just got up, hadn't had coffee ,andinvited me in. I went back outside and saw car was burning, so i stayed on his porch, then front yard. I knew trash may have aerosol canisters, and not worth my life to try to go through fire to save my purse. Cops came (9:45-10:15 am , and said i looked funny and arrested me accusing me of being under the influence of medication. I was not on any medicine and definitely not drinking. Car was a total loss after explosion and i have not had another for over 8 months. I am on disability for fibromyalgia, neuralgia, & osteoporosis, and hollow bones. I fall quite often (one leg is shorter than other). Officer himself drew my blood in a public place, and refused to let me see my attorney 3 times. I never got to use a phone in 2 days. But vehicle was problematic from day 1 , battery would not hold a charge, jump a riding lawn mower , and would just cut off while i was going down the road. Steering was also a problem from day one, like tires were never aligned.
Making unusual vibration and noise on one side and dealer visited several times but can't find or fixed
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated while driving at lower speeds, the service brakes were depressed and the vehicle made a metallic low groaning noise which followed by a abnormal delayed stopping distance. The vehicle was taken in for diagnostic testing. The technician was unable to duplicate the failure. However, after contacting the manufacturer they clean the throttle body and performed a software update. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 22,500.
In december 2017 & january 2018 on multiple occasions the cars abs light came on for no apparent reason and the car would not stop as if the brakes were not applied at all. A vibration was noticed like the brakes would in a skidding situation but that was not the case. The failure resulted in a couple few calls and finally an accident . It was brought to the hyundai dealership where we were told there were no failures or codes in the computer to indicate a problem. A week later we received a recall notice from hyundai - nhtsa campaign number 17v-769 (hyundai campaign 170).this was the stopper pad recall and it did fix the problem. Looking at the invoice from the dealer the recall was done but we were never told it was related to the problem. The recall notice did not seem to properly state the serious risk of the problem. It did state it could increase the risk of a crash but also stated "a deteriorated stopper pad does not affect the performance of the vehicle's service brake system".this was found obviously to not be true. I believe the notice should have stated not to drive the car until the recall was completed. We were lucky not to be injured but the car did have over a thousand in damage. We called and emailed the manufacturer but never received a response.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving 10 mph with the brake pedal depressed, the vehicle independently accelerated and crashed into a concrete patio. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was not filed. The contact sustained injuries to the neck and bruises to the arms and legs. Medical attention was not required. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and repaired. The vin and failure mileage were not available.
Brake lights keep intermittent working and burning out. Steering wheel makes clicking noise. Keep having to replace tires in front. Even after alignment, car still pulls.
At first on occasion the front passenger side brake made a metal to metal grinding sound under all braking conditions. The dealership said they could not duplicate customer concern. Today is june 5th 2013 and the brake is grinding constantly at 14000 miles . I documented a complaint with hyundai corporation on june 3rd 2014 and my case # is [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I own a 2013 hyundai elantra with approximately 9000 miles on it as of may 2013. In january i had the car sitting outside overnight, and when i went to drive it the next morning i noticed a grinding sound coming from the brakes. I stopped and got out to notice all four rotors were rusted. I immediately brought it to the dealer, and after inspection they said all four rotors were severely rusted. They machine shopped the rotors down so they would make a noise or make the car pulsate while stopping. The first week of may i left the car sit outside over the entire weekend. When i left for work monday morning i noticed the same problem. The car was pulsating and making a grinding sound again. I called the dealer and explained the previous situation. They said that this type of situation happens if the car is left in moisture overnight. I told them that is ridiculous since many people don't have the luxury of a garage. They told me to bring it in the shop again to take a look at it. I am now waiting till the next appointment to bring the car in. I have a 2012 hyundai tucson that sits outside more than this car and i have never had a problem with the brakes before!
My steering column makes an awful noise like a clicking noise the whole time i'm driving it really scares me but i have to drive it bc it's my only means of transportation. Now my break lights all the way across doesn't work and it's not a fuse.last thing is my airbag light stays on also which scares me .please some one help get these issues resolved quickly i'm the second owner so i probably haven't gotten the recalls about these issues.please please help me .thank you
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.
Had been hearing a grinding noise when braking especially when it would rain out and on the advice made an appt to take it to the dealer. On the way to the dealer the brakes gave out and my car hit into my husbands car that was driving in front of me to the dealer so he could drive me home. At first they said there was nothing wrong withthe brakes i insisted they keep it overnight and theysaid they would drive it when the car was cold. Thankfully it rained hard that night and even though they waited til the afternoon to drive it they were still able to hear the grinding although not nearly as loud as it would have been if they drove it in the morning. They said the rotors were building up corrosion so they would replace the brake pads. After researching this it seems to be a pretty common problem i intend to insist tomorrow they change the rotors too but the fact still remains that there is now extensive damage to the front end of my car. This is a new car and this should not be happening just 2 days prior my husband lost the brakes for a few seconds this is a potentially very hazardous situation.
1.airbag light has been turning on.no apparent reason but i was told that if in an accident will not deployed. Since 10/12/20162.suspension is not the greatest, car will swirled sometimes if exceeding 40mph hello i live in puerto rico there is no such thing as 40mph in our roads...3. Tire sensors are constantly braking.4. Front headlights seems get humidity when it rains or get too cold.5. Brakes sometimes do not work as they should, i stop and it seems to keep going i would have to brake again to make it stop and these is not going more than 40 mph.
For the brakes and lighting issue, my brake lights go bad every couple of months and need changed. I believe this is possibly to do with the recall for brakes. I have had people on many occasions stop me in traffic to let me know an entire side of lights were out at once. I have been pulled over more than once as well for my brake lights in the four years i've had my car. I always keep spare lights in my car for this reason. I called a&b kia, where i bought my car, who said my car was not part of the recall. However, with the many issues i've had with my brake lights i believe it is related. More recently than my brakes, my cruise control has stopped working. Within the past year it has slowly went from working sometimes to not working at all. Other functions on the steering wheel, such as volume and radio controls have not been affected.
My brake lights went out at same time, so i was researching what to do and read about the one recall (#146) that i had done already. It said something about starting your car without depressing the brake pedal. I do not depress the pedal when i startmy car. Is this an issue?

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.
When driving in rain for awhile, then gently come to stop, get a brake noise that shouldn't be there and whole car vibrates.not going through puddles or standing water.this has happen several times.i discussed it with the service manager at our dealership, and he acknowledged the issue, and that hyundai did as well, but said there is no solution currently.the stopping power is not good when this happens.after it dries, then the brakes function normal.dealership said new pads and rotor might help, but wasn't a warranty issue.there is a problem and it should be fixed! this could be a problem that gets someone killed.also, i find that other hyundai owners have experienced the same brake problem.
I was pulling into a parking space on a sunday afternoon at a business park. It was mid day and dry. I was slowing down and half way into the space when the car suddenly accelerated. It seemed like the car went out of my control. The car was stopped by a 3' shrub or else i would have crashed into the building. In the process, a car parked beside me was also damaged.
My airbag light was off and on for about a month and now it is a steady light.the repair shop i took it to said i needed a clock spring and a new driver air bag.they also said i might need another part.total cost of all of this will be around $1600.since my car has over 100,000 miles, it is not under warranty.i've noticed other people are complaining about the airbag light.
The brake lights on my 2013 elantra will not go out, i first saw the yellow skid light come on.
Brakes:at 36k, i had to change the brake pads which may not be uncommon, however, it was the back brakes.the front brakes had more than half the life left on it and the back brakes were almost bare.engine:in summer (july?) of 2013, i came out from work, after a full day of the car sitting out in the sun (approximately 85 weather), i attempted to turn the engine and it continued to turn, but not would not ignite/ start.after trying it for about 5min, i gave it a break and let it sit for about 10min.after which, i tried again and it was very hesitant to start (you could hear it wanted to), then eventually started.i dropped it off to the dealer the next day and they couldn't replicate the issue.almost a year later (july?) 2014, the same thing happened again.the car sat out in the 80 weather in the sun all day.i came out from work and my car would not turn on; this time, the engine didn't do anything other than continue to turn like when your battery is dead.i called roadside and he jumped the car.he also checked the battery and said it shouldn't do that because it was not even close to dead.i again took into the dealer and they tried to replicate my issue, leaving it in the sun; no luck.they couldn't find anything wrong with it again.i haven't seen the issue since, but i am worried that a new car could even hesitate to start like this.
I was on my way to work, when i noticed there was a new warning on my dashboard and so when looking up what it means in my book, it pertains to my brakes!! when i called the dealer to schedule an appt about another issue i am having with the car, i told her about this one too.she said we need to get you in asap to have it looked at.i could tell by her tone, this was not a good thing.i expressed to her that i have a (19 mo old), of which i cannot have any major defaults with my car, especially when driving with her in it- which is all the time!i asked her if this was in conjunction with my brakes making a grinding noise and she said she didn't know.i told her i have only had the (new off the lot) for a year or more and have had a string of issues.i am not impressed to say the least!!this is minor in comparison to some, but the upholstery on my side on the right (floor board) has completely torn apart.it almost looks like someone had cut it, like when i brought my car in the last time to get worked on from this dealer.she assured me they would never cut the floor and i said what happened to it then and she said a poor job when made by hyundai.granted, they are going to replace it, but now i have a more important issue to attend to- my brakes.bad upholstery is not going to put me or my daughter in danger, but bad brakes will!when i asked the dealer if any of my current and past issues with this car is normal, she said to be honest- no it is not!if i have to contact hyundai, i will and i will not give up until my issues have been resolved.

Timing chain is damaged and car is only 5 years old and have kept up with the maintenance
I purchased this vehicle back in january of 2019 & when i purchased it the steering wheel made a clicking sound. I mentioned it to the car dealer & was assured it was nothing. After having my oil changed i was told my steering column needed to be replaced. This is quite disheartening as i have had the car for just one year & a half at this point. I was told to research for recalls in relation to this particular issues as it has been reported for other vehicles of the same make, model & year. I am afraid my car steering will go out while driving.
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).
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving various speeds, there was an abnormal noise coming from the brakes and the stopping distance increased. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted at 859-635-6400 and stated that the vin was not included in a recall; therefore, the contact would have to pay for the repair. A case number was not provided. The failure mileage was unknown.
Rear brake lights remaining on even when car is in park,ignition is turned off, all lights are turned to off position.
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.
Sept. 2nd, 2016, my 26-yr-old daughter (an experienced driver) left work, approached a "t" country road intersection at moderate speed, on a somewhat rough road, and applied brakes to slow down. Nothing happened - the car did not slow. The car drove across the intersection into a farmyard.she pulled the emergency brake, but it did not stop the car.it skidded, but she was able to steer around a wood pile and avoid trees. Car stopped when it crashed into a dirt mound.this was total brake failure.bumper was ruined, and there is damage in engine compartment.no fire or injuries. No air bag deployment.car was towed to dealership, who next day drove car around dealership lot and found no brake problem. Crash damage made car not road-worthy to test brakes at higher speed. Car has about 42,200 miles on it.back in mid-summer, the dealer had repaired a problem that apparently was brake stopper recall-related (a late-august recall). We reported the failure and crash to hyundai america.
Car was parked and locked with all systems off. Later i noticed brake lights on. Called hyundai and informed them inquiring if there was a recall about this problem. They told me to take to dealer and have them perform diagnostic to determine cause. They said it was brake light switch.dealer changed switch(2),relay. Problem still exist.
Brakes have been grinding since it was new. Car now only has 2000 miles on it now and sounds even worse when you go to stop.
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.
I went to apply the brakes and every light on the dashboard lit up and my brakes failed. When i took it to the shop they said it was a bad yaw sensor and a bad g sensor. I dont feel safe in my car anymore and hyundai refuses to do anything about it.
Brakes don't want to stop even after i've got them repaired brake lights keep going out even after the bulbs has been replaced
At speeds greater than 35 mph on rough roads rear end of car will slide out to right causing vehicle to head towards incoming traffic.if brakes are applied when vehicle loses control abs activates and car seems to leave ground.this continues to happen over and over.car dealer repair says this is not happening.notes this might be the first time i had this type of suspension.car does not feel safe on interstate.i've tested the bump out in an empty lot.if not correct by hard steering car will depart lane.
Driving on freeway at speed of approx. 65-70, hit off level pavement on right side on road while braking to slow (for traffic) and brake pedal hardened (pedal hard to press for few seconds) while making clicking sound, but then functioned properly. Felt like front pass wheel. Figured nothing. Months passed, driving in shopping center and going over speed bump at about 5 mph and front wheel made clicking again while braking to slow further and brake pedal hardened again (difficult to press for few seconds) then functioned properly. Took car to dealer for regular maintenance and informed dealer of situation and service rep claimed it was how the abs system worked and that was all it was, the abs system working. Told him this problem does not happen when the left wheel is involved hitting or going over bump. First time owned vehicle with abs but i think the brake pedal is not suppose to harden up while abs system is functioning as this would limit any braking capacity. Feels like there is a bigger problem and dealer is not taking it seriously. Original owner since 7/31/13, this problem has happened at least 4 times and all seemed to only involve the front passenger wheel.
1-the airbag light stays on all the time ! 2- the car was recalled for a break issue, since i took it to the dealer the paddle feel loser(( i need to push the break two times to get the clippers works! i have changed the break clippers and the same problem!!!!
I have had senors check they say it is malfunction in the air bagsand also need no brakes have ask others owners about there brakes and they say same thing happens they drag have had all this check for safety reason please check about the driver side air bag

This is a pubic recall. My car is experiencing the problems that has been warned. I would like to bring my car to get seviced to make sure their are no high risk to me as a driver. Thank you for announcing the problem with the vehicle.
I was in motion and my emergency brake did not work . I continue down hill and to avoid on coming traffic,,i turn to the right to hit the fence. My air bags never open. Tha k godi always were my seat belts.
The contact owned a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving approximately 55 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard. As a result, the contact crashed into another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained head and neck injuries and the front passenger sustained head, neck and left shoulder injuries that required medical attention. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a tow lot.

About 4 times per year, the vehicle will not shift out of park.i must use the shift release button and this takes awhile to work.i have had this happen when the car is idling in a parking lot, parked at a drive-thru, trying to leave a parking lot. Thishas happened about 12 times since i bought this vehicle.i took it to a hyundai dealership and they could not replicate the issue.the first occasion was around 1,000 miles on the odometer.
I purchased the 2013 hyundai elantra gls with 13461 miles on 2/15/14. The first few days i drove the vehicle locally everything seemed ok. A few days later once the vehicle was driven on bumpy uneven roadways the rear end of the vehicle appears to not stay in line with the front of the vehicle. When driving over uneven surfaces or bumps at speeds of 30mph and up the rear end seems to be out of control making the vehicle veer into another lane. The suspension on the vehicle for such low miles is also very noisy and rattles over the slightest imperfections on the road. The vehicle was serviced on 3/12/14 and the hyundai service advisor stated that a hyundai tech test drove the vehicle and stated that the vehicle is operating as designed. Also they found that the rotors had rust on them and had to be resurfaced/machined. Rotors should not go bad with a vehicle that has low miles. I purchased this car for the safety of my family and now am stuck with years of payments. I am not a happy hyundai consumer. I have seen numerous complains for the same issue. A recall needs to be done on this vehicle for the suspension problem.
The brakes make horrible creaking and grinding noises when wet. Sometimes it will even cause the car to shake. I have contacted hyundai several times and they do not take this serious. I have taken it to the dealership several times and they have not been able to fix it. I just took it in last week and they even tried to get me to pay 100 for a cleaning of the brake components, i feel i should not have to pay to fix a problem we have had since we bought the car new and have had it in several times and they have not been able to fix it. I am not confident driving the car now and clearly no one would want it buy it off us when it makes such horrible noises. I also believe it cannot be safe and will cause premature failure of the brake calipers and / or possible the ball joints or front steering suspension.i think they have a faulty design in the brake hydraulics and the differential pressures between the front and rear brakes are not right.

I have experienced loss of control of this vehicle several times, including today. As i have faithfully maintained my car, i have come to the conclusion the design of the car is the issue.specifically, when i attempt to apply the brakes, the car will not brake properly and is very hard to control. Today, i experienced the car hydroplane and thank goodness no other car was in front of me or on the side because it took me at least two minutes before i could gain control again. This occured when i made a right turn while driving about 25mph and no puddles of water were present.early april, i had a similar incident where i had to pump the brakes several times, although my brakes were replaced a few weeks prior.back in december 2019, i had a similar incident on the highway i-95 while driving home. I have it documented through aaa. My tire blew and the car failed to stop. I took it to my dealer and advised what happened and they insisted my tires and brakes were fine.i did some research online today and found i am not the only customer experiencing this issue. I saw several customers stating they received a recall notice, however, i have not received one. I am very concerned for my safety to the point i no longer want to drive this vehicle.
During merge onto a major dallas tollway, traffic became stopped in the right lane and upon applying a hard brake of my car, the anti-lock brakes failed to engage, the seatbelt did not lock, my car felt as though it was accelerating even though i was pressing the brake pad hard.i hit the car in front of me once and then again before my car stopped, still running.my car sustained $8500 in damage to the front end, but the air bag did not even deploy. I have owned it for 15 months and have not had an issue of this nature in the past, however i am now concerned of the safety of this vehicle.

On 06/19/14, i purchased a 2013 model car at rick case dealership, lauderhill, florida. Odometer showed 7413 miles. Supposedly certified and with 10 yrs warranty, etc.i drive some 7000 miles/yr so vehicle stays in driveway most of the time. Very seldom do i take it our on the highway. At about 7715 or so miles of slow, street driving, i take it on the highway and notice a loud racket, banging noise. I take it in the dealer. Dealer says they found "a couple of loose bolts" which they tightened and that was it. They returned the vehicle to me.about a week later,[around 7850 miles] i take it again on the road.it took about 15 miles or so of 70+ m/h driving for the racket to show itself again.i take it once more to the dealer. This time i pointed our that i had noticed something unusual with the alignment of the rear,left shock absorber. Upon inspection the dealer tells me the car has been in a serious accident of some sort as the undercarriage is all banged up, the absorber is misaligned, the brake line is hanging precariously close to the tire, etc and that i must have caused this problem.[their gall and audacity is amazing!], as a result, i have to assume all costs!. They clearly want to take advantage of me, the customer.sales manager says that i "should have inspected" the car before i bought it..again, the gall of this man! i saw no proof that the car had been "thoroughly inspected" as he claims.i swear under penalty of perjury that this car was like that when i bought it.i contend that the dealer had full knowledge of this and willingly and wantonly sold it to me in the hope that i do not notice maybe?. Finally, when i told the service manager the danger involved in driving this car, his solution was to "keep it in the garage" until i'm able to pay for the fix...again, the gall of these guys!. I made them write everything.
Our elantra began making grinding noises when we pressed on the brake pedal that sounded like the brakes or rotor were defective. When the shop inspected the car, they said they could not duplicate the noise, and told us the car was in perfect shape. Over the next few months, the noise became louder when braking, plus it began making a whump-whump-whump noise that appeared to be directly related to the speed and rotation of the wheels. The sound would increase when we steered the car to the right, and would decrease when we steered left. The whumps were barely audible at 5 mph, but were overly loud at 40 mph. I thought it was plastic trim fluttering in the wind, but could not find anything loose.when we took it to the shop again, i think in august, i told them the car was not drivable that they needed to find out what was causing the whump noises and the grinding noises when we applied the brakes. This time they found the problem was caused by the bolt holding the left wheel coming unscrewed. They tightened the bolt under warranty repair service, and the car has not made the whump noise or had grinding brakes since the repair.i doubt this problem was limited to one car in the fleet, and i believe hyundai should have issued an advisory to their shop managers to be watching for this problem so that it would have been found and corrected the first time that we took the car in.
There is an extremely loud grinding noise that keeps coming from my brakes. I was pulling up to a mailbox and i was on my cellphone and someone asked me what that noise was as it was so loud they could hear it!i brought it to the dealership and they said there was a little bit of rust on the rotor!! i just had the 7500 mile check up and got all green checks but 10 days later the grinding is even louder than before. I dread even putting on my brakes and i am not confident if people jump out in front of me that they will respond properly.i purchased this car brand new and went on to carcomplaints.com and there are a lot of people saying the same things with as low as 20 miles on the car. Something is definitely wrong here. This is my fifth brand new car in the last ten years so i know this is not something that should be going on.

This has been an ongoing issue, when hitting any type of bump in the road, the rear of the car feels like it is going to fishtail, worse on wet roads. The abs brakes work and then they don't, the steering will feel loose and then tight. I have noticed there is a lot of complaints about the car feeling like it is going to fishtail or has when hitting bumps and yet, no recall is forced on hyundai. I guess it takes a fatality to get anything done. A car should never feel like it is going to fishtail when hitting bumps.the engine hesitates when going uphill or when accelerator is pressed quickly.
I have informed my local hyundai dealer several times since i purchased this vehicle new that the front brakes make a clattering noise and do not seem to brake the car effectively when the brake pedal is pushed with a little more pressure than normal.the dealership each time said that the brakes are fine.i have since learned that i am not the only elantra owner who has experienced this situation.my vehicle now has over 60,000 miles (out of general warranty) and hyundai will not even return my e-mails.if you would experience the situation i am describing, you would agree that there is something wrong.
Bought this car new as a closeout on may 30th 2014. I was on interstate 57 going south about 60 miles out of paducah ky driving the posted speed limit with the cruise control on. With no warning the car went to the left across 3 lanes and then back to the right 3 lanes and again to the left 3 lanes before i could regain control. The semi behind me just about jack knifed trying to avoid hitting me. It was only because the traffic was very light and the semi and i were the only ones on the road in that area at the time this happened, or there would have been a major accident. I took the car to the dealer in paducah they said it was my brakes, they cut the routers. I could not drive the car even after the repair over 55 mph as it would wander to the left and to the right. When i returned to my home state i took the car back to the dealer and told them to return it to hyundai. I was told by the dealer that they never heard of this ever happening to anyone else. I have seen reports of others having the same problem so this is a cover up by hyundai. The steering on the hyundai is bad! there needs to be a major recall on this electronic steering. The complaints are from sonata owners also.
I had trouble getting the vehicle to stop completely, very scary and nervous. I had the brake pads replaced and the master cylinder. Thevehicle continued with the same problem, now they say it is the abs. The vehicle has just passed 100k miles. I understand that there has been mfg brake problems with this make ,model and 2013. I want hyundai to rectify this problem before an accident happens.. Please advise asap.. [xxx].information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My elantras brake lights are always on. My traction control light, eps light, abs light, and brake warning light are always on as well. I see where my vehicle is shown that the recalls have already been repaired on my car and i do not believe that is true or this would not be happening. My brakes lights constantly being on is a major problem because that can cause confusion on other drives and especially when i'm really using them to slow down. I'm always having to constantly replace the light bulbs on the left hand side of my vehicle as well which is odd. I'm very concerned and frustrated and wish i would receive assistance in fixing the problem. I have not been in any wrecks with my vehicle either. I also had someone check my car for any codes and vehicle speed sensor came up as well as brake switch.
I got my car brake release light fixed because it was recalled in 2018 2 yrs later same issue brake light is still on even when the car is off
My 2013 elantra sedan built in alabama on june 14, 2013, and equipped with a 1.8l engine. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership because it cut off on me while driving in the middle of a canyon, in traffic. The brakes did not work. The cars steering locked up and could not control the car more than to veer it off the road with the forward momentum from coming down a hill.i was told the engine needed to be replaced due to the oil level being too low. I had just had it replaced and checked about a week before. Then i was told it was a connecting rod that had broken. I've left the car at the dealership at the moment because i feel like this is a manufacturing defect and will not pay out of pocket for a repair that would be covered in canada.

I purchased my car in 2015. I was loving this car until i was on wet/bumpy roads. I applied the brakes to stop. The hyundai started making a grinding noise.when i applied the brakes it felt like the brakes was going all the way to the floor. When it is snowing i can't drive the car because the brake gets locked up and makes a lot of noise. This car is dangerous to drive in inclement weather. Also this car suspension is horrible. You feel all the bumps in the road. Hyundai needs to do a recall on this car. Most of my problems with this car was driving in the city. Driving on wet roads coming to a stop or hitting a bump in the road. The car swerves and make aloud grabbing noise. Sounds like the brakes are coming up through the floor. I love the car but don't love the way it drives. I had to replace the front rotors and brake pad with a full alignment. This vehicle still drives the same way even when all this work was completed.
I had a accident tried to brake quick my brakes skipped and i ended up hitting a van because i couldn't stop
I have rust on my 2013 hyundai elantra rotors and it makes noise when i brake. I had to get new pads in december because of a loud noise while braking.
Purchased what i believe is a lemon from the stamford hyundai. Vehicle was not inspected and recall issues not addressed.another car that hit mine stated that my car brake lights indicated i stopped when i actually released the brake pedal.i believe that the dealership over charged me for a defected vehicle and failed to address the brake pedal issue which caused my lane change accident.i would really appreciate it if someone can assist me with this serious infraction.again my vehicle was in motion but the other driver said it appeared to be. I wasn't informed by the salesman of any defects or issues. The day of the accident i was driving in brooklyn ny on remsen avenue. Impact occurred on remsen and kings highway. Any assistance with this will be appreciated.i purchased this car cash 6405.70 when the asking price was 4670. I've been ripped off and could have gotten killed.help please.

I was coming off of interstate 95 onto my exitand i applied my brake to slow my car but my brake apparently gave out and was not working . It make a loud sound like it was trying to hold but it didn't and in order to stop my car from hitting any others or people standing at the side of the road i tried steering it toward the closest curb so that i could prevent as much as possible within my power. My airbags didn't deploy but the car hit hard enough that my face slammed into the steering wheel, i sustained a concussion and damaged my face and glasses. I have muscle strains in my back, neck and still a swollen eye and cheek bone.
My car has 7000 miles and the brakes grind excessively and when braking at speeds 40 mph or higher, the car shakes and vibrates so hard i am afraid that the brakes will fail.this has been going on for more than a year.last year, i brought it to the dealer (fairfax hyundai in fairfax, virginia)for this problem and all they said was that this was due to rust buildup even though my car just had less than 5,000 miles on it and i just needed to brake hard to get rid of the rust. This has not helped and i believe that the brakes pads and rotors are defective and need to be replaced.
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.
On july 14, 2017, i was driving my 2013 hyundai elantra and was attempting to make a left hand turn at a signalized intersection at a speed of about 15 miles per hour.about midway into the turn the steering wheel locked and i could not turn the steering wheel to complete the left turn.in addition, i was braking and the abs braking did not function properly and did not stop the vehicle until it ran into a concrete curb.the result of the malfunctions of the steering and braking on my 2013 hyundai elantra was damage to the front right of the vehicle, including bumper, wheel, tire, radiator support, etc.i am very thankful that i was not hit by another vehicle or injured.i am concerned about the performance- or the lack thereof - on july 14th.something happened and no one seems to be able to explain it despite inspecting scanning codes, etc.the vehicle engine kept running, the key was in the ignition, and there was deployment of the airbag(s).there have been other complaints about the electric assisted steering and braking on the 2013 elantra according to research.i want to make you aware of an additional complaint regarding my elantra.the damage required replacement fright front wheel, right front tire, right fender liner and inner bracket, radiator support, right hinge pillar, right lower control arm, right fender, painting and 4 wheel alignment.the vehicle steering malfunctioned and locked even thought the engine was still running.this malfunction prohibited me from turning the steering wheel and completing the left turn safely.the braking system failed as it did not stop the vehicle and i noticed a slow abs sound versus the typical very rapid abs sound when hard braking.the malfunction of the steering and the brakes could have caused a catastrophic failure but fortunately did not.
Brakes grind (sounds like metal on metal contact) if applied going over 20mph in all weather conditions however it is worse when the brakes are applied on a bumpy road. Dealer has not made any serious attempts to fix issue except telling me it was the humidity and putting lube on brakes which did not work.
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.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that while driving approximately 15 to 20 mph and depressing the brakes, the pedal went straight to the floor board.

Just bought the 2013 hyundai elantra, 12/21/2019, after about 100 miles of driving we noticed the steering wheel is off center. While driving in town and on highway shifting lanes it didn't want to go and it will pull hard left or right almost causing to run off the road. 12/25/2019, while on the way home i almost struck another car. More noticeable from 30 to 55 worse over 55. Driving on dirt road feels like it wants to fish tail. Steering is sticky yet a lot of play. Intermittingly while braking it sounds like scrapping like when your brakes are bad. Braking slowly or abruptly makes no change. Wet roads is worse with braking.
Takata recalls. My radio bluetooth doesn't work nor does the usb. I'm constantly having to change rear lightbulbs. When my car reaches a certain speed it starts to shake. My tire sensor put a hole in my tire. My seat belts will not connect. I'm just had to change the alternator. And the engine makes a ticking sound.
Coming to the end of a passing lane at about 60 mph, cars got congested, brake hard and the brakes locked up causing me to lose control of my car, started to go into oncoming traffic.i let up on the brakes and braked again, brakes locked up as before.i thought anti-lock brakes prevented this from happening.this has happened two other times, just not this bad, plus when i go over railroad tracks of hit a pothole, i can't use the brakes.i noticed the other complaints about the factory hancock tires, they should be ban from new cars, i had two accidents in one day due to light snow.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving 70 mph, the abs and traction control failed. The contact stated that the brakes seized and the vehicle independently veered into opposing lanes.

Unknown. The brakes are having difficulty holding up on the street while coming to a complete stop. Once stopped or stopping, there is a slight humming noise coming from the front wheels as if the car is having trouble staying in place.the back left tail light occasionally flickers on and off while driving and continues to flicker when tapped. The brake light is completely out now and has been adjusted before without replacement of the bulb. While driving on the street and night there are rare moments were the brake light and tail light will work again. The steering wheel has a hard time motioning and positioning itself when driving from five to twenty mile an hour, when turning and while making a u-turn.nhtsa campaign number: 16v574000

2013 hyundai elantra. Consumer writes in regards to windshield wiper design failure *tgwthe consumer stated the wiper blade on the passenger side was very short and the bottom end of the wiper blade left a semi-circular water streak right in front of the person sitting in the passenger seat on every wipe of the blade. Also, there was a spot at the bottom of the windshields where the passenger wiper blade left a short inverted "v" type spot that the driver's wiper blade did not clean which would freeze intoin the winter.the consumer stated the steering was too sensitive. The consumer was informed the vehicle has electric steering which may be related to the condition. The steering was so sensitive, that he had to constantly move the wheel left and right just to stay out of the oncoming traffic lane and stay in his lane of traffic. Several times, while driving, in a slight crossing wind with various groups of trees, the level of steering sensitivity forced him to run off the edge of the road to avoid entering the oncoming traffic lane. Also, on a few occasions, the consumer had to hit the brakes harder than normal, but not hard enough to engage the abs. With the electric assisted steering, it was impossible to feel if the vehicle was centered in his lane prior to using the brakes.
This is a problem with the grinding of the front brakes on my 2013 elantra coupe from the day i drove it off the lot and now it is 15 months later and 12653 miles later and 5 trips back to the dealer to get it fixed, 1st they said they turned the rotors, 2nd they said they balanced the wheels, 3rd they said they aligned the front end, 4th they said it was a dust plate, and 5th they said it is normal. I went to a different dealer they said hyundai had made new softer pads to fix this problem. I sent an e-mail to hyundai customer connect center consumer affairs, they said to bring it back to the dealer...updated 04-16-14
On july 18, 2014, my 2013 hyundai elantra ran into a subway restaurant at 12150 s. Cicero, alsip, il.i was going into the subway parking lot, my goal was to park, but my car did not stop when i put on my brakes. My car kept going; it drove over the sidewalk, through the scrubs, and hit the building head on. Hitting the building is what stopped my vehicle, my air bag did not deploy.i then put on the brakes, put it in reverse and backed off the building, backing into the parking place that i was originally going into to park.once my car was parked, it began to smoke.i got out of the car, looked at the damage to my car and the subway building, called my insurance company, state farm and my son.the 2 employees in the subway, called the police and the subway restaurant owner.
When braking the brake pedalseemed "soft" and after about 40 miles of driving it went all the way to the floor. I had reached home by then. There were drops of fluid on the pavement after i backed in and parked.i had the car towed to the hyundai dealer and inspection revealed that not only both brake lines had rusted through, but, the fuel lines had also rusted through and were leaking.
Whenever i start my car, i receive a mechanical error in the display.there is also a popping noise in my steering wheel when the vehicle is either stationary or moving, and i was told this is a safety issue.i noticed that there are at least 76 other complaints on this issue.
The steering wheel has a click in it . The eps light and traction light came on at the same timewent too the dealership but they said it wasn't a recall on this common problemit happen all at once at city speed
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the steering wheel made an abnormal clicking and rubbing noise, which was a distraction while driving. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that a new rubber coupling for the steering wheel was needed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure more than twice and referred the contact to the nhtsa hotline. The dealer was contacted. The failure mileage was less than 62,000.
The steering wheel makes a clicking noise when ever i turn it. It has been going on for 2 weeks. It is getting louder and more constant, every time i move the steering wheel it makes a noise.the mechanic @ tire kingdom said it is the bushing, and that he sees about 8 out 10 elantra's with the same problemin his garage. I think this should be a recall issue. It makes no difference if i am turning on street, backing out of my garage, pulling into my parking space at work, ot driving on the interstate. I am very worried about this as it is not normal.
Snow predicted. Left home to go run errands at 9:30 am, car looked showroom new, got 1/2 mile, car pulled itself right (as it has previously) and bumped a small tree, no damage. Car backed up to roadside 10', car cut itself off (as it had before), windshield went from 30 degrees to 450 degrees in 3 seconds. I left my purse (with $1200 in it) and everything and fled across road to save my life. Asked man there if he had a fire extinquisher, he didn't, asked me to stay because it was so cold, and i said no, i wanted to check my car and in that 60 seconds, i walked out and stood in his driveway and car was totally a blaze. It happened so quickly i would not have survived had i not fled the vehicle the car from day 2 rarely cranked, often cut off going 5-55 mph, pulled off road to right, and scared me speechless. Like it was haunted and drove itself. I only had it 4 months. It was a death trap and should never have been put on the highway.for some reason, i got arrested, i was totally sober and had no medication in my system. Trooper had a breath alyzer, never used it. Cuffed me very tightly, read me no rights, and took me to station entrance. He grabbed my arm and drew blood (illegally) , no phone call, finally read my rights, and denied me seeing my lawyer 3 times. Illegally. For 3 days & nights, i was never allowed a phone call or code, am disabled and have osteoporosis & had to sleep on a 1/4" of flat plywood, though my joints don't touch, i have restless leg syndrome & must sleep elevated, it was impossible. I also went without any of my prescriptions 3 days. All because this scary car burned to bent metal with no dash, no engine or parts, no tires, seats, nothing. So not only was i in shock, out of any contact without my prescriptions, and had to pay $475 bond, though i only get $969 , this car ruined my life over a year ago, and i haven't had a car since.
1) while driving on interstate highway vehicle encountered abrupt change in pavement height at bridge and swerved toward adjacent lane due to very loose steering.2) while driving on interstate highway vehicle encountered modest wind and swerved toward adjacent lane due to very loose steering.3) while driving on interstate highway vehicle encountered bump on pavement and swerved toward adjacent lane due to very loose steering.
After getting the recall for brakes done , two months later my steering wheel started doing a cluck sound whenever i turn my steering wheel. It does it when driving, parked , on the highway, and the city street.
Just arrived at my residence when power steering stopped. Had to force car to turn in my drive. Electronic steering control and electronic power steering warning lights on. Delivered car to dealer on 8/19/2014. Dealer had car for three days for repair. New steering column with angle sensors had to be installed and adjusted. This was a very dangerous situation and the same thing has happened to other owners on this site.
The brakes make horrible creaking and grinding noises when wet. Sometimes it will even cause the car to shake. I have contacted hyundai several times and they do not take this serious. I have taken it to the dealership several times and they have not been able to fix it. I just took it in last week and they even tried to get me to pay 100 for a cleaning of the brake components, i feel i should not have to pay to fix a problem we have had since we bought the car new and have had it in several times and they have not been able to fix it. I am not confident driving the car now and clearly no one would want it buy it off us when it makes such horrible noises. I also believe it cannot be safe and will cause premature failure of the brake calipers and / or possible the ball joints or front steering suspension.i think they have a faulty design in the brake hydraulics and the differential pressures between the front and rear brakes are not right.
They car drives fine until you hit a any sort of bump or hole in the road.when that happens the back end wiggles and in the rain it is much worse.it is even worse on the highway going at a higher speed.i have read several other complaints online with drivers facing similar issues. I am worried that it will one day lose control.i do not feel like i am in control of the car, i've taken it to the dealer several times and they say everything is fine and that is just how the car drives.
When i drove the new car off the lot it began pulling to the right, but since we bought it late on a friday afternoon i couldn't do anything until the following day. The passenger air bag light also came on (i'm referring to the light by the tachometer, not the one below the radio). Bluelink performed an inspection remotely & said to take the car to the dealership asap. The following day we took the car back to the dealership & they said they needed to keep the car until monday, but we were moving to a different city therefore we would have to take the car to a dealership in our new city instead. I told the story to the service dept, left the car there at the new dealership, 2 days later i came back to get it. The air bag issue was fixed but not the pulling to the right. The alignment specialist came with me to test it, realized that it was still pulling, we went back to the dealership & switched the two front tires & went again for another test. The specialist realized that the car was now pulling to the left. We test drove the car over 8 times, they said alignment was good & only attempted to rotate the tires multiple times, car still pulled. I took the car to a different dealership, they agreed the car was pulling but wouldn't do anything because another dealership had already inspected it & i would have to pay even though the car was barely two wks old! i went back to the previous dealership, we tested it again with the service manager. They tried to convince me there was nothing wrong, when clearly the car still pulls strongly to the right. I had to escalate the problem to hyundai usa as the dealership wouldn't do anything further. After reading the owners manual, it clearly states that the power steering should be checked if the car is in alignment, yet pulling to one side. The dealership never recommended this, nor did any testing of the steering.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving, the seat belt warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to hyundai of st. Augustine (2898 u.s. 1, st augustine, fl 32086, (904) 797-7800) where it was diagnosed that the clock spring in the steering wheel needed to be replaced because it was causing the seat belt indicator to illuminate. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that they would contact the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
Steering wheelplay with clicking/clunking sound when steering wheel turn ~5 degrees right and left.noticed problem 200 miles ago and problem getting worst fast. Car has ~80k miles.
The first time this happened i had my car for about two weeks. I was driving my 2013 hyundai elantra on a rough road and the rear end felt like it was fish tailing. It was a very scary experience. I was driving approx 30-35mph. This happens every time i drive on an uneven surface. I have to hold the steering wheel as tight as possible with both hands and the car still feels uncontrollable. I have taken it to the dealer but they drove it and said that there is nothing wrong with the car. It is so scary that this company will let people drive a car around that is this dangerous. I have three children and it scares me to drive the car with them in it. I have also had problems inter-mentally with the car failing to start. The dash lights come on, the radio and a/c all come on but the engine will not turn over. After several attempts it finally starts. I took the car into the dealer and they said that the car had no problems starting for them.i have had this car for a little over a year now and the problems continue. I bought this car based on the reputation of hyundai. What a mistake!
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.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, there was a banging and rubbing sound coming from the steering column while turning in either direction. The vehicle was taken to werner hyundai (252 capital cir sw, tallahassee, fl 32304) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the steering column was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 56,000.
When moving steering feel like alot of play in it. When turning left to right there is a click noise also. Feels like something is wrong on inside of steering column . This is happening when driving and if your just at a stand still in move steering
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that while driving, there was an abnormal popping sound in the steering. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to mcconnell honda dealer, (2840 eastern blvd, montgomery, al 36116, (334) 271-2500) where it was diagnosed that the router cuff on the steering wheel had worn out and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the repair fees. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 19,602.
Steering clicking and popping. Not real noticeable in turns but when going straight car often drifts. Feels like 1/4 to half inch slack in steering wheel
Power steering failed during a turn on a busy street.car was almost impossible to steer but managed to get if off the road.towed to hyundai dealer - they just called and said they needed to replace the steering column.
Steering wheel makes a clicking sound every time it is moved and shakes violently when trying to stop the vehicle. The air bag light will not go off.
Being a 40 plus year driver and an indiana cdl license holderi can not keep this car between the lines at highway speeds. It wonders left then right and sometimes the wheel seems to resist correction. I have a 09/03/2013 service date to have the car looked at.
I purchased the 2013 hyundai elantra gls with 13,400 miles on february 15, 2014. After a few days of driving the vehicle i realized that the car floats all over the road when driving pretty much at any speed. You have to hold the steering wheel with both hands to keep control of the vehicle. The rear of the vehicle also jumps around when driving over imperfections on the roadway. The back end suspension is very stiff and when going over these imperfections the vehicles veers into another lane or shoulder. I have called hyundai with no response and emailed them only to be told to bring it to a hyundai dealership. I brought the vehicle to the freehold hyundai dealership twice now and was told the vehicle operates to factory specs. This is an unacceptable answer. I have a family and fear that an accident is going to occur with this vehicle due to the poor handling and someone is going to get injured or even killed. I demand hyundai reimburse me for what i have paid for this vehicle or issue a recall and fix the problems that many of the elantra owners are dealing with.
Around 75k miles the steering wheels is loose when turning left to right.when at a standstill with the vehicle running, there is excessive play in the wheel, causing it to "clunk" left and right.this is due to a rubber power steering coupler (bushing).this is only a 5 dollar part however much experience is needed when replacing this part.i believe hyundai recalled the sonata for the same issue but i am wondering why there hasn't been a recall for us elantra owners.this is unsafe.at highway speeds the wheel wants to drift side to side.hyundai needs to recall this part before people start getting hurt.
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.
On july 14, 2017, i was driving my 2013 hyundai elantra and was attempting to make a left hand turn at a signalized intersection at a speed of about 15 miles per hour.about midway into the turn the steering wheel locked and i could not turn the steering wheel to complete the left turn.in addition, i was braking and the abs braking did not function properly and did not stop the vehicle until it ran into a concrete curb.the result of the malfunctions of the steering and braking on my 2013 hyundai elantra was damage to the front right of the vehicle, including bumper, wheel, tire, radiator support, etc.i am very thankful that i was not hit by another vehicle or injured.i am concerned about the performance- or the lack thereof - on july 14th.something happened and no one seems to be able to explain it despite inspecting scanning codes, etc.the vehicle engine kept running, the key was in the ignition, and there was deployment of the airbag(s).there have been other complaints about the electric assisted steering and braking on the 2013 elantra according to research.i want to make you aware of an additional complaint regarding my elantra.the damage required replacement fright front wheel, right front tire, right fender liner and inner bracket, radiator support, right hinge pillar, right lower control arm, right fender, painting and 4 wheel alignment.the vehicle steering malfunctioned and locked even thought the engine was still running.this malfunction prohibited me from turning the steering wheel and completing the left turn safely.the braking system failed as it did not stop the vehicle and i noticed a slow abs sound versus the typical very rapid abs sound when hard braking.the malfunction of the steering and the brakes could have caused a catastrophic failure but fortunately did not.
Ecs light went on and immediately lost "power steering"/electronic steering. Vehicle became extremely difficult to steer. Vehicle is new, approximately half a year on the road with less than 2000 miles driven. Dealership mechanic says whole column needs to be replaced and that the part is back-ordered, not knowing how long it will take to repair.
We purchased the 2013 hyundai elantra brand new in dec 2013. The car now has approx 9,200 on july 31, 2014, went to make a turn and several alarms went off on the car. The power steering went out. I was unable to complete my turn. Had the car towed to the dealership. They stated that the "column & shaft assembly" was bad and had to be completely replaced. It is very scary to be driving a car down a busy highway and all of the sudden not be able to steer the car. The steering wheel felt "locked"..
While driving at a moderate speed of 45 mph my 2013 hyundai elantra 2 door coupe suddenly experienced excessive play in the steering wheel.this sudden failure caused the steering to hesitate and be a little erratic.fortunately i was able to go the few miles to home without incident.upon taking the car to my local hyundai dealer, they immediately knew what caused the problem without even examining the car, a defective steering coupling in motor driven power steering (mdps). My vehicle has only 11,750 miles and is four months past the five year overall warrantee when the steering failure occurred last month. It certainly was not due to excessive ware. Some car owners were advised by letter from hyundai and kia of the pending problem i was not. Any steering defect is potentially very dangerous and this one is pervasive across product lines. This problem is serious enough that it is recognized by an extended warrantee by hyundai and kia in various models of elantra, sonata, forte and other models produced from 2007 ' 2015. Search website 'hyundai steeringcoupler'. This problem is also recognized by the manufacturer's online website hyundai-forums.com as far back as 2007. The old part was replaced by a newly engineered part in 2015, part number 56315 2k000fff. However, this safety action does not apply to my elantra 2 door coupe, which uses the same part. Perhaps this is due to insufficient complaints filed, or lower production, and limited years that the coupe was produced.this safety information needs to be disseminated to all elantra owners.
Vehicle fishtails and sways when hitting a bump or a seam in the road.this happens every time.yesterday evening i hit a seam in the road on a curve (dry pavement) and it threw me into the other lane.i'm grateful there was not a car in the other lane it would have caused an accident.dealership states there is no recall or known issue but this is a very dangerous characteristic of this vehicle and it's going to cause great injury to an owner or passenger.in researching this problem there are many other 2013 elantra owners experiencing this same issue.
The steering system is clunking both at rest and while in motion. The dealer diagnosed the problem as the steering coupler. This part is the subject of a recall in other similar models but for some reason the gt model is excluded, even though it is an identical part. The problem is getting progressively worse while hyundai is refusing to help. The dealer service writer was at a loss to explain why my car is not included in the recall. First reported to hyundai in january 2021 at about 90,000 miles.

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!
Steering wheel rattles and makes noises when turning.feels like there is to much play in steering.worried about having issues of safety. This seems to be a problem with these particular vehicles. When swerving to avoid animal felt like i had no control.
The 2011 through 2013 elantra's have this same inherent issue in which the rear of the car is not engineered to maintain a straight line or track properly over bumps and dips in the road. I have taken my 2013 elantra limited to mccarthy blue springs hyundai and called hyundai customer service and requested contact by their district service manager over the past year but it has been over 2 months and no response from the district service manager (today is 8-27-2013). The service department knows this is an issue but say its the way the car is made and there's nothing they can do about it. The problem is an issue in turns and can kick the car out of line in wet, snowy or icy conditions so much that the vehicle stability assist must intervene. These are not conditions that my other car has an issue with or any car that i've owned in the past that did not have vsa. The issue is not due to the rear end of the car being light due to not having a spare tire as some have been told, this issue is purely the fault of hyundai and may even involve the electric power steering not being properly tuned to maintain a straight line as the wheel will abruptly return to a position far left of center. I have spoken with other 2011 to 2013 elantra owners and they have the same complaints and i have driven other cars and they exhibit the same issue. Its long overdue for a recall nhtsa.
I have been having electrical issues for about 1 1/2 years. The radio turns off when breaking and signaling. Not every time but about 2/3 of the time. Occasionally the dash will go out. The interior lights flicker (all the time) as well as the head lights. Not sure about the back lights because i can't see them but i assume. The temperature gauge does not light up sometimes. No bars are displayed. The trip computer resets at least 4 times a week. The avg mpg, mph, trip a and b will start over at 0.0. Turning left makes the car shutter and turn off in mid traffic or when in a drive thru. The steering wheel locks up/stiff steering. The eps light comes on. Have to turn car off and back on to alleviate the issue. While the car is idling with the air conditioner on the car will cycle and just about turn off
The steering knuckle (coupler) is bad.
Constantly adjusting steering to keep car on the road, belief problem with front end,took car back to dealer on the 18th of june, the results told to me by dealer was that one tire had 60psi in one of the tire, air pressure was adjusted in each tire, but car still has the problem.looking at the history of hyundai it seems that their sonatas and elantras have had this problem for at least 2 years, putting these death traps on the road.
Steering problem:when driving, the steering wheel catches near the center position, taking some additional force to move it.it is relatively easy to over come, but it feels as though it is getting worse.my hyundai dealer has not responded to my inquiries. The potential for a steering lockup may exist, thus this alert.
The 2013 hyundai elantra's eps light locks my steering wheel mid driving. The traction control light also comes on simultaneously, causing me to be unable to steer at an array of speeds.

Recall please !!i spent my life savings on this car and it is dangerous to drive.the car fish tails over small bumps and at low speeds. In winter driving its almost out of control and a separate set of snow tires is mandatory so you don't get killed.when it crosses railroad tracks it actually tends to turn on its own onto the direction of the tracks ! if you hit a dip in the road the car seems to lose control. And at highway speeds forget it - it sways across the lanes on its own as if it is constantly catching the wind. I cannot drive it on the highway - i am white knuckled by just a short trip trying to keep control of this car. This car is more of boat then an automobile. If i sell the car my losses will be huge.i got a wheel alignment, tires and took it into the dealer all to no avail and the problem is getting worse as the car is aging too. Basically the dealer said this is the way the car is built too bad so sad.
Steering coupler failure at 30,000 miles. Steering wheel started making clunking noise when turned from side to side while car was in motion and stationary. Called dealer, they stated needs repaired asap, steering wheel could lock and cause accident. Found that this was a well known issue and extended warranties (txx7) were issued on several models. Mine was not included. Cost to repair was $422.26.
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.
When reaching 45-50 mph, steering became so loose that it was difficult to stay in my lane. Pulled over to see if there were any apparent problems with the tires, but none were seen. Tried driving again, same problem occurred at about the same speed (noticed it around 40 mph this time). Could not continue trip; had to be towed 50 miles back to indianapolis. Have an appointment with the dealership tomorrow (closed for thanksgiving holiday today).traction control had briefly engaged about 10 minutes earlier on a slick area, but seemed to be an appropriate response, and the light went off. Not sure if this is related.
When cornering and the road is slightly uneven the car skitters side ways, or in bad cases if you hit a bump the car steps sideways.depending on the speed or the tightness of the turn, the car can drift sideways by quite a distance.
When driving the vehicle on the high way i 29 n at about 68-72 mph the brand new vehicle engine stalled abruptly and the steering wheel froze and we were stuck in the direction the steering was previously turned it and it made impossible for us to steer it on to the shoulder and the vehicle behind us almost crashed into us. We were just a whisker away from getting killed. We had a near death experience and my fiance is still having nightmares about it.
While driving steering makes a clunking noise and feels loose.i had vehicle at firestone for another repair and was told about this problem, they said it was the coupler and there's no recall on this but that it is a safety issue.they say it is very common in these cars, the coupler wears down and you could lose steering.
Steering wheel has play when turned and makes a thump/clanking noise.
Since buying this car in november 2014, i noticed an issue with stability while driving on the highway and was unsure as to what was causing the car to feel like it was jumping after hitting small bumps.after doing some research i understand now that it is the suspension that is causing this instability. The bumps i hit on the highway are not major bumps, these are just the small ones that transition from section to section of the highway so i know it isn't the road i drive on, it is the car. This is actually the third hyundai i have owned, and have never had any issues like this with their vehicles. I have always felt safe while driving them until this hyundai elantra 2013. Also while driving on the highway, anywhere from 45-65mph the driving stability feels unsafe and the vehicle wavers back and forth on the highway, having to always correct it. When it is windy it is extremely worse. I cannot believe hyundai made a car this unsafe. Driving this winter i have only hoped that the jumping and wavering didn't cause an accident on the highway. That is completely unacceptable to feel that way in a newer vehicle. Please continue looking into and investigating this issue as the company should be made responsible for these issues.
Clicking sound in the steering column.the dealer says that the problem is the steering coupler...a $4.00 part.then the dealer said that the fix is not under warranty and that it would cost $410.00 to change this $4.00 part.this fix is in fact listed as a recall on the same year elantra sedan and the sonata models. Since this is a safety issue why is the repair covered on those vehicles mentioned above but not on the elantra gt???if it is a covered repair on an elantra sedan why would it not be a covered repair on a elantra gt sedan?
Eps and esc lights came on and vehicle lost power steering. Problem is intermittent. Vehicle towed to dealership. Dealership is unable to replicate issue at this time. No fault codes found by dealership service dept. Dealer advised they will test vehicle again today (12/11/14) to try to replicate issue. Issue occurred several times (8 to 9) over a 24 hour period. Very dangerous situation as condition occurs randomly. Eps light will turn off and esc light stayed illuminated. Vehicle recovered on its own when eps light turned off.both lights were off the following morning when towed to dealership after sitting overnight. Condition has occurred while making a u-turn, pulling out of drive way, and while making left and right turns.

My 2013 elantra sedan built in alabama on june 14, 2013, and equipped with a 1.8l engine. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership because it cut off on me while driving in the middle of a canyon, in traffic. The brakes did not work. The cars steering locked up and could not control the car more than to veer it off the road with the forward momentum from coming down a hill.i was told the engine needed to be replaced due to the oil level being too low. I had just had it replaced and checked about a week before. Then i was told it was a connecting rod that had broken. I've left the car at the dealership at the moment because i feel like this is a manufacturing defect and will not pay out of pocket for a repair that would be covered in canada.
My vehicle's steering wheel 'shudders' upon turning, whether stationary or moving, on a city street or highway.i believe the eps to be the problem and am afraid the steering will seize up while i am driving, potentially causing a safety hazard both for myself and for others. This has occurred each time the car has been in use since july 10, 2019, without exception.
There is excessive play in steering wheel makingdrivingvery dangerous and difficult.the steering wheelmakes a popping noisewhile drivingorturning it when sitting still.according to my local dealer,hyundai is aware of this defective bushing used in steering assistmotor but has failed to issue a recall. The steeringbushing has disintegrated! the same bushing was used in several other models as well.check the internet there are thousands of other complaints. I only have 76k miles.i was told by customer service they would repair this if i had the extended warranty,which i believe was 5years/100k.what does that have to do with defectiveparts they chose to use?why am i responsible for the manufacturers defective part.there are hundreds who have reported accidents caused by lack of control while driving. This is a safety hazard to everyone on the road,not justhyundai owners. Please help make us safer.make hyundai recall this defective steering issue.
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 number10785827107829481078217910777921107765961074964010748705107267131072230910721075107166821071379510712467107063331070444510695023106942571069128810680416
I went to apply the brakes and every light on the dashboard lit up and my brakes failed. When i took it to the shop they said it was a bad yaw sensor and a bad g sensor. I dont feel safe in my car anymore and hyundai refuses to do anything about it.
Car wanders on roadway, returned car to two different dealers three times, the first dealer told me there was 60psi in one tire, the tires were adjusted and was told that this would fix the problem, it did not.the second time i took the car in i was told that there was nothing wrong with the car and it was within specs, and that i may be having problems adjusting to the electronic steering, and that if i had bought the car from his dealership that he would work something out with me.after talking to the company about this problem, i had them make the last arrangement to get the car in to the original dealer where i was told once again that there was no problem with the car.i'm 54 years old, and have driven many cars, and this one is a nightmare to drive, can you help?

There is already an elantra & sonata steering coupling recall extended warranty issued but my car isn't under warranty?
Trying to drive out of my driveway, i had no power steering and the eps light was on, tried shutting car off and restarting it with the same results. Brought vehicle to dealership in somersworth where i purchased it last may, and it was determined that the steering column has to be replaced.
I was driving straight across a bridge the back end started to fishtail it went back and forth several times- i could not get it under control it finally spun out and killed looking into on coming traffic.the fish tailing has happened several times since then.i have only had the car 6 weeks and am scared to drive it.i have read that this is a known problem for this car.what i can't understand is why there has not been a recall on this.
Steering wheel makes clunking noises when turned from side to side. Progressively worsens per use. Car is at 48,000 miles.light driving,moderate conditions. No snow or ice.car is scheduled for repair monday july 17,2018.
There is a clicking/clunking sound from my steering wheel. While i am driving it will snap my steering wheel to the middle which is very unsafe as this could cause my vehicle to move in a different direction. The diagnosis is the power steering coupler but since i'm at 101,000 miles (only 1,000 miles over the warranty)the dealership won't cover it.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 25 mph and going over a bump, the vehicle veered to the right and left. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 5,000.
When turning the steering wheel in either direction it makes a decent clicking sound has been happening now for over 8 months it seems to only do it while the car is moving even when the car is slowly moving & as well noticed a lot of play in the steering & my steering wheel will not stay aligned with my tires after alignment from hyundai.
Airbag srs light appeared on dash panel without reason when the vehicle was started in a parked position and has stayed illuminated since first appearing. The light has been present for several months now. Recent diagnostics reported airbag fault (code b134600 driver airbag resistance too high stage #1). Service facility deemed fault is secondary to defective clock spring. The defect causes the airbag system to fail and airbags will not deploy in the event of an accident because of this fault.
When turning the steering wheel either parked or driving it makes a click/thud sound upon the steering wheel going back to the center.
Steering coupler when you move the wheel back and forth it clicks makes noise when hit bumps in the road i am scared to drive it!
Hyundai has officially recalled the 'rubber coupling in the motor driven power steering assembly on all 2007 - 2015 models'.hyundai will not honer the same recall on the elantra gt model.they utilize the exact same parts.instead, they are charging customers high fees to replace this 5 dollar part.this coupler binds the steering wheel to the motor.when it fails you lose steering control of the vehicle.this is a very dangerous situation.how can this not be recalled for all affected models?
When driving the car the steering wheel makes a clanking noise as if something is loose in it. When the car is in park and you turn the wheel it clicks
My steering wheel is making a clanking noise when you turn it and when you hit a bump or go down a mountain it does it louder. Im just scared it will break and then whats going to happen
Clicking in steering and play in steering

Noticed when i test drove this vehicle in april 2013 when it hit small bumps in the road it seemed unsteady in the back. Thought it was just the dynamics of a new vehicle i would get used to. I'm used to driving dynamics of small vehicles. There have been a few times where i've been driving at speeds between 20-70mph when i hit a bump on a straight/curved road and vehicle would shake wildly and feel like it was out of control.today we have snow covered/slushy roads and i've been particularly cautious. At ~60mph on i70 (which was clear and plowed), i moved to the passing lane to go around a slower vehicle before a creek bridge. When i hit the edge of the bridge i completed the maneuver, but a small lip on the section of bridge meeting the road caused the vehicle to fishtail and almost hit the vehicle next to me. I was fighting for control of the vehicle for 300 feet, which is worse than i have ever experienced in this vehicle, hence the reason i wrote this complaint. It felt like another experience i had in a fiat with a bent rear axle, every time it would hop over a bump it would wobble in the back end and yet it felt slightly different because i couldn't correct it quickly when the car should have settled. From reading other people's complaints, it seems plausible that the problem with the elantra may in fact be in the front end with the power steering auto-correct to center. That is what it felt like i was fighting those 300 feet, not the dynamics of the four wheels not being square on the road, but instead like as if the car was fighting me. Something needs to be done because i could have lost control with kids in the car. Judging from other people's experiences with their dealers on the issue, what is the point if they're just going to give us the run-around and inconvenience us even more by withholding our vehicles and then giving them back without a fix?
My father-in-law drives a 2013 hyundai elantra gt. It car only has 49k miles. Today i found out that the steering wheel has a clunking noise. It feels like the steering wheel is going to come lose. I searched and found this youtube video that explains the problem. Here is a link to the video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxtcfnykutcit shows that there is a small gear inside the steering motor, which breaks apart little by little, until you cannot longer maneuver the car. This is very dangerous. Talk about an accident waiting to happen.i took the car to hyundai dealer for repair, but they want to charge $400 to fix it. This is a car defect, i should not have to pay for this. Furthermore, the dealer was very familiar with the problem. They told me that it is a recall on the hyundai sonata but not on the elantra.what do i need to do to make them fix it at no charge? can you add this to your recall list? it is going to cause many accidents, if it hasn't already
Steering is very still, causing driver to over correct and going from side to side inthe lane on the interstate.
2013 elantra gls.car wanders all over the place when you go over any dip or crack in the road. It is almost like you are driving over patches of ice when you are on dry. Roads.car has become very squirrelly and unsafe. Have read numerous complaints on line of same problems from many other elantra owners.a
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the steering wheel made a clunking noise and the vehicle moved left and right. The contact managed to keep the vehicle in the correct lane. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the 2013 hyundai elantra two door models were not included in the manufacturer warranted repair for the steering flexible coupling, part number: 56315 2k000ff. The contact took the vehicle to jenkins hyundai (1602 south west college road, ocala, fl 34471, 352-620-2264). The contact stated that the dealer was aware of the steering wheel failure, but did not diagnose or repair the vehicle. The failure mileage was 75,000.
My steering is marking a popping sound when turning took my car to local firestone to find out it is a little rubber spider gear that is recalled on other hyundai cars but not mine i'm wanting to know how can this be as it's the same party number as recalled in other hyundai cars
I bought my 2013 hyundai elantra gt on september 12, 2014, it had 41053 miles on it. As i left the dealership it was raining very hard and i noticed that it was very difficult to keep the car in my lane; my car was pulling to the right, not only that, i hit a bump or manhole and the bad end of the car fishtailed so bad that i thought i was going to hit the car that was in the right lane. I was driving a few days later, i hit another pothole and the car did that same thing but this time the roads were dry. At this point, i realize that the first incident had nothing to do with the roads being wet, it was the suspension on the car that's causes the car to pull to one side and for it to fishtail the way it does.i did some research and i realized that hyundai owners have complained about this problem for quite sometime but the hyundai corporation fails to acknowledge this as a problem; this is a very dangerous problem. To be honest, i'm a little frighten to drive my car; hyundai corporation needs to acknowledge that there is a suspension problem with the make and model andthey need to do something to correct this problem asap before someone loses their life.
I just purchased this car about a month ago.i noticed much like numerous complaints similar to mine that when i hit bumps or potholes or uneven roads, it seems to sway.almost feels like you are losing control.i am starting to think this might be a major issue and might result in serious injury or death.which in turn may result in major lawsuits.if i were the nhtsa i would seriously open a investigation!now!do it now please before people get killed!
I was in the far left lane of interstate 255 in southern illinois. A tractor trailer was in the process of cutting my off when i honked and he proceed back into his lane. I had brake quickly and with both hands on the wheel when the car lost control and i was swerving within the lane for around2 minutes before i could regain control of the car. I almost clipped another car as well as the median, but barley missed both. I had both hands on the wheel, i did not stomp on the brakes, and yet i still lost control of the car. It also constantly sways to one side as well as the brakes lose grip if you run over any bump at all. You guys need to recall these cars, they are not safe and i am not paying almost 400 dollars a month for a car that could easily injure me in an accident.
Steering wheel is clicking and loose. Makes steering difficult. Steering wheel shakes when going over speed bumps.
Whenever the vehicle travels over slight bumps, or indentations on the road, the rear end of the car unsettles and pushes right. With increase in travel speeds, the rear end get more unstable. At highway speed, it becomes so bad that whenever there is any slight bumps or surface imperfection, the rear of the car hops right violently to the right or starts to fishtail and sometimes becomes uncontrollable. Specially on wet surface. It is hard to get the car back in control when not careful and may cause a major and fatal accident.which checking for the issue, it appears that it is common issue among elantra owners. In my personal experience driving, my car fishtailed so violently that traction control light came and it was hard to control. Few times, the car fishtailed and ended up in right side lane without me wanting it to do that. These all happens at highway speed. It is less severe on city speeds but still noticeably bad.
The esc pitched the car sideways @ 65mph on i-84 s of sturbridge ma. The car has no directional stability as it wanders side-to-side requiring constant steering control.
The steering wheel started making a clicking noise while driving and when stationary. I researched online and saw it is a common complaint on hyundai cars. We brought the car into the dealer and were advised it was the coupling. Hyundai recalled the sonata and replaced the coupling but did not issue a recall on the elantra. The cost to replace this defective part $350.00
Purchased car from lynne's in bloomfield, nj on the 25th of march 2013 from[xxx].noticed the steering when i got on the highway that night, but assumed it was a break in period for me to get use to the car, well one month later i was constantly adjusting the steering wheel to get the car to stay in the lane.i spoke to service department manager ([xxx]) about this problem, and was told to bring the car in for them to look at it, earliest date june 6th , i requested a loaner car because once they had the car i had no way of getting to work, i called two days prior to my service date to confirm that there would be a loaner available, i was told if that was the arrangement made on my set up date then the loaner would be there.one day prior to me going to service with the car, i received a call from lynnes service department that no loaner was available, no reason why, it just was not available.i took the car to sansone hyundai on the 18th, my right hand was starting to hurt from holding the steering wheel so tight to keep control of the car.i received a call from the service department ([xxx]) that the car had 60psi on one of the tires, air was checked and adjusted on all the tires and was told to give it a try now?no change, i called [xxx] (customer service) and told him the problems i was having with the car, he recommended i come back in on the 24th of june,dropped off the car, and received a call that afternoon that he ([xxx]) drove the car and found no problems, and maybe this was not the car for me, and that if i had bought the car from his dealership, he might have been able to move me into another car.i've been driving all types of vehicles for over 30 plus years, some with bad alignments and never have i driven anything like this before, it?s a death trap!information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
When going over any road defects or abnormalities, while driving the car, i have become aware of how the suspension is on this vehicle makes noises, fishtails, and seems to bottom out with any speed bump. Rear wheels seem to lose traction when hitting any type of small hole, crack, or drop in road flatness. Suspension also sways awkwardly with certain turns. Only getting more and more noticeable as the car continues to age.
Ta kata recall, my steering wheel column rattles and shakes when i am driving. It sounds like the steering wheel is going to fall off. The steering wheel feels loose
While driving my new car purchased on february 8,2014 , the road was uneven. My car swerved so bad when it hit the uneven road, it was so scary.thinking this was just the road, i forgot about it. Everytime i drive , the same thing happens. It feels as if i'm losing total control of the car. This is on dry pavement, i hate to see what happens in the rain & snow. The swerve is enough to push the car close to the lane next to me. If a policeman was behind me i think he'd pull me over for reckless driving. I've never driven or been in a car where this happens. I have to hold onto the steering wheel with 2 hands constantly for fear i'll lose control of the car when this happens. This is extremely dangerous because i can lose control of the car or hit another car when it swerves. This is a new car & i am petrified to drive it. I am not the only one with this problem as i have read other complaints about the same thing. Please help me. Thanks
My (and my son's) 2013 hyundai elantras both have begun exhibiting the failure process that will inevitably result in the loss of the "electronic assist" power steering.our hyundais now have a vague dead-spot in the steering when the steering wheel is moved off center at any speed. You can feel it the most when the vehicle is parked. The "dead-spot angle is getting wider and wider as the rubber slip-joint part inevitably disintegrates this rubber bushing is a shear device between the mechanical steering shaft and an electric motor that powers the hyundai's steering rather than traditional hydraulic pump power steering found on most cars. My neighbor's hyundai went fully through the failure process that resulted in no power assisted steering and a very expensive repair.the failure of this $1.25 (retail) part is so common in many hyundai models like the elantra, that the parts department keeps a box of them constantly on hand for the inevitable failure of this part in every hyundai model that uses it.it's a huge profit producer for their service department, so i can understand their reluctance to redesign this part. However, i can't currently afford the hundreds of dollars of labor charge that hyundai demands for the replacement of this defectively designed part, so i don't let my wife drive the car because she might not be able to react to the loss of steering assist at high speeds.i drive the car as little as possible.hyundai is well aware of this defect and had a recall for the same problem on 2010 models but ended the recall when they probably told the nhtsa that they corrected the part.in actual fact, they didn't fix the inherent defect and if you do a search online you will see that many people are still being endangered by this defect.
'takata recall' i was driving to work on the highway going 65 mph and lost control of my vehicle. To regain control i hit my brakes and continue my journey to work. This has happened multiple times and now i'm scared to drive my car so i carpool with a friend to work which is ridiculous. I don't feel safe to drive my own car
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator remained illuminated. The contact suspected that the timing spring in the steering wheel could have caused the failure. Hyundai of anderson (1925 pearman dairy rd, anderson, sc 29625, (864) 642-0900) mentioned that the spring was a common issue, but they would have to run a diagnostic test and charge a fee. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 60,000.
Rental car, hyundai elantra 2013, from enterprise.vehicle unsafe to drive, can lose steering control very easily, which i experienced first hand during rainy conditions.the other drivers in front and behind me did not have any issues with steering, but this vehicle lost control...updated 07/15/14
The steering wheel makes a clicking noise when turned, it happens when it is moving or still too.
The steering wheel makes a clicking sound when steering wheel is turned right and to the left when car is stationary and driving at a slow pace. Steering wheel clicks noted when driving over bumps in the roadand backing up such as small uneven surface like backing into and out of garage.
While driving my car my steering wheels vibrates and shakes in the steering column and makes a loud noise and also clicks when turning the steering wheel as well the shaking is only when in motion and the clicks happen whether sitting still or whole driving on any conditions
I have a 2013 hyundai elantra coupe gs, and i have had the steering coupler issue, the brake lights not turning off issue, as well as the computer sending the wrong signals and wreaking havoc causing me to replace the alternator, spark plugs, and coils only to find out a week later that my car did in fact fall under two of the specific recall notices (brake lights and computer) after hyundai said it didnt!. When i contacted hyundai again in regards to all of it in may or june 2020, their exact words to me were "what do you want us to do about it?"and now, after finally getting the coupler issue resolved in november, my eps just all of a sudden quit working with no warning. I was driving and out of nowhere, the wheel violently turned all the way to the right and locked. No eps light, no warning, no nothing! this luckily in my case did not cause me to wreck, but it could have caused serious injuries had there been another car near me when it happened!it also did it several times sitting stationary when being looked at in the shop!
When driving the car the steering wheel makes a clanking noise as if something is loose in it. When the car is in park and you turn the wheel it clicks.
2013 hyundai elantra, every time i steer to the left or right, there is a lot of play in the steering. It makes a loud clunking noise while turning. This happens regardless of the vehicle being turned on or off and in any gear. I contacted the service dept of the hyundai dealer, they immediently knew what the issue was. He said it was more than likely a steering cuppler and/or steering bushing. My car is a 2013 and only has 59k miles. This is very little. I have done my research and there are more than 120 complaints with the same issue. There should have been a recall on this a long time ago as a steering problem is a very serious issue and very dangerous for anyone with this problem.
This is a pubic recall. My car is experiencing the problems that has been warned. I would like to bring my car to get seviced to make sure their are no high risk to me as a driver. Thank you for announcing the problem with the vehicle.
Over a period of 1-2 days, vehicle steering became " more heavy" - in other words -- more resistance in the steering ---it required a little more effort to turn the steering wheel.hyundai dealership indicated the vehicle needed a wheel alignment. The condition still exists
"takata recall"my steering wheel column rattles and shakes when i am driving. It sounds like the steering wheel is going to fall off. The steering wheel feels loose. This has been going on two years after it was bought. The faster you go the worst it gets.it happens in the city and highway.
There is an existing safety issue with hyundai electric steering.the rubber steering coupling is defective and they have issued an extended warranty for 2013 hyundai elantra sedans but not the gt models.however, they both use the same electric motor.my car exhibits the "clunking noise" which is a symptom of the worn part.my hyundai dealer checked it and immediately said that it was indeed the problem but upon checking my vin number my gt model elantra is not covered.i think hyundai has just overlooked this but even though i have an open case with them they keep beating around the bush about it.i tried explaining to them that this is a serious safety issue but it didn't seem to help.when you move the steering wheel back and forth you hear this clunking noise which is indicative of the worn rubber bushing.attached in the next paragraph is the verbiage from the hyundai website regarding this issue.i really need to get them to cover my car.it is a $300 plus repair.bulletin number: 5np-f8m5g-03bulletin date: 02-27-2017component: 353000 equipment:electricalsummary:hyundai has announced an extended warranty for the motor driven power steering (mdps) coupling on the following vehicles: ? 2011-2014 sonata (yfa), 2011-2014 sonata hybrid (yf hev) ? 2007-2015 elantra (hd, md/ud), 2009-2012 elantra tourin
Vehicle purchased 05.14.2013 noticed from day one that steering wasn't right, thought it would take time to get use to.on 06.12.2013 noticed steering wheel was off center and to the left and car pulled to the right.took it into dealership on 06.14.2013.at first they attempted to tell me nothing was wrong then i took them for a ride.it was then agreed that the steering wheel was off center and car was pulling to the right.i was then told no repair was available.i contacted hyundai inc. 06.18.2013, they in turn contacted the dealership which withheld the information that they had agreed there was a non repairable problem with my car.i then contacted the dealership and spoke with the person that with held information and he stated he did so because he was not asked.he is also claiming the shop foreman is in school to correct the problem and i am to take my car in on 06.24.2013 for the repair which will take approximately 2 hours.the problem is getting worse by the day.more after the attempted repair is made.
With less than 22,000 miles, the steering wheel began making a knocking sound when turned left to right while driving or stationary. The steering wheel was more difficult to control as time went on. I took it in for repairs and found that the coupler had been shredded. This is a $5 piece which costs a few hundred dollars to have replaced by an auto shop. Hyundai should be replacing these, instead of its customers.
My car drives funny over the road and on hill and steering really feels bad like something wrong with the car this is driving in my town.i just brought the car fom the dealer what can i do?
I purchased this car in july 2014. A.2013 hyundai elantra and after 3 weeks the front passenger tire went out after barely hitting curb around by september 2014, the drivers tire was deflating replaced. On 2/10/2015 the tire in rear went out while driving on highway, the dealership says it could because a nail got into the tire and caused the problem.it just seems a bit unusual for 3 tires in less than a year of owning this vehicle, which was new purchased july 2014.2013 hyundai elantra.
My 2013 hyundai elantra limited has the swerving problem. Any time i'm on an uneven patch of road or a bump, it's like i lose control of my car. You have to keep 2 hands on the wheel at all times to try & keep some control.i do not feel safe doing my weekly drive from de to ny!!
Electronic stability light came on, and slowed the vehicle at random moments. After two days, steering began making a "pop" sound when turning left or right. Brought to dealer and confirmed the issue is with the rack and pinion. Car has 40k miles and is only 5 years old. No accidents and used only to commute <10 miles to and from work. This is considered outside of hyundai's 5 year warranty (even though i am within the mileage consideration) so is not covered.
Purchased my 2013 hyundai elantra new from the dealership.while driving one day the electronic stability control indicator light came on and the can became hard to steer.looked in my operator's manual to see what this light meant, it instructed me to disable the esc by pushing to esc off button which i located and did.this turned the trouble light off, and i continued to drive.however, my vehicle still to this day is hard to steer and control and i have to keep both hands on the wheel.when you turn the steering wheel there is a loud popping sound.have scheduled a service visit, but they want to charge me a large diagnostic fee just to find out what the problem is.searched the internet and found that there are a lot of people reporting this very same issue.hope to hear that they will issue a recall, but probably not until a lot of people get killed.
Flexible steering couple falls apart causing steering wheel to.become loose and make loud metallic clanking noise. Unable to provide pictures due to me not knowing how to disassemble steering column. Multiple complaints reported according to hyundai forums
**steering wheel safety hazard**i have a 2013 hyundai elantra se coupe, 50k miles. I noticed that all the sudden in the past week or so there is a few inch gap and a clunking noise in my steering wheel. I brought it to my dealership (king huyndai and deerfield beach florida) and they advised that my "steering wheel coupler" needs to be replaced and is not covered under the warranty and there are no recalls. I specifically asked him if there are any possible hazardous or dangerous issues with this faulty steering wheel coupler. His response was, "absolutely, your steering wheel can lock up and cause a major accident"!he also advised me that if i do not have this repaired asap it can result in my entire electrical steering system to also break & need replacement. He also added, "if that happens i will end up spending a lot more money for that repair also"!i did some research on my own and found out that this bad "coupler" is made of only plastic!! the average cost is only about $10 for a new one. The dealership wanted to charge me over $300.00 (out of the door) for this specific repair. This gap and clunking sound happens while the car is totally stopped (but still running) and also during normal average driving.this is the only vehicle i have and i transport my three young children in this vehicle. I am so scared to drive it now, i am trying to find other transportation methods. Also, while driving i am able to feel even the smallest pebble under a tire and the steering wheel vibrates and truly does not feel safe at all and is very scary. Most importantly, if this is such a dangerous matter regarding the safety of driving this vehicle, why would they use only plastic for this coupler and not something more rigid and stable with no worries of any wear?
Steering "knocks" while turning wheel. "both standing and with vehicle moving along city streets" looked up symptom online, which appears to be a common problem know as a defective and unsafe steering coupler. The coupler costs about $5.00 us dollars but costs $410.00 to replace.
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.
The steering coupler in my 2013 hyundai elantra went bad around 150,000 miles... Now there's a clicking sound and 'play' in the steering wheel because hyundai used an inferior part. Once i started researching i realized it's an incredibly common issue that the dealership wants several hundred dollars to repair.this should absolutely be repaired under a recall or extended warranty (well beyond the 100k mark) since this is not part of normal wear and tear or abuse.
When i drive above 60miles per hour, my steering wheel starts to vibrate a lotand making noises and it's hard to control the car, it's like something inside the steering wheel broke.
While i was driving on the highway, car steering became hard and i was unable to turn. Due to steering issue i couldnā’t keep car in my lane and i was about to crash into other cars. After pulling car on the side with extreme force on steering. And checking tires pressure, it was normal. Under the hood all fluids and oil were normal. Couldnā’t find power steering fluid tank. After researching online found out it only has electric power steering so no steering fluid and many hyundai car has/had same issue. In fact hyundai has recalled cars upto 2011 for this issue. Even highway petrol service officer said his 2012 elantra had same issue. Fyi even though my car is 2013 hyundai elantra, it was purchased around apr 2012, so it is early 2012 built with possibly 2011 components.
There is a clunking noise at the 11:00 and 1:00 points of the steering wheel. This occurs in motion as well as while the vehicle is stationary. Research shows that the coupler in the steering wheel is deteriorating and causing the problem, requiring replacement.
1. Engine noise (knocking sound, ticking sound)2. Air conditioning system failed too early and replaced it around 45,000 miles.3. Axle boot (left side) grease leaked too early (around 50,000 miles)4. Inner fender (right side) tore down. Replaced5. Two bubble tires (we changed the tire eight months ago!) replaced 6. Clicking sound on passenger side door when i changed the gear (50,200 miles)7. Engine mount replacement (35,570 miles)
Free play in steering wheel between 11 and 1. Very dangerous on skinny freeway lanes...vehicle almost drifted into barrier wall on grooved pavement in construction zone without ability to safely correct and maintain lane. In researching, appears as recall on other models, but not on this model. Scheduled for service on 12/17/18 at dealership to replace the $2.00 faulty part. Not looking forward to the labor bill to repair vehicle to safely maneuver the daily freeway traveling condition. This is clearly a safety issue that could potentially cost lives and needs to be addressed with the manufacturer.
Continuous issue with control of car when windy or wet roads.any time i'm on an uneven patch of road or a bump, it's like i lose control of my car. Car wanders out of control on wet road or when windy.
Steering is making a 'clunking ' noise when steering wheel is turned. The steering feels like it has play before it engages. The noise and play are present whether the vehicle is moving or stationary.issue is the same as what has been previously reported.i'm concerned that the steering will not respond properly and cause an accident.
The steering wheel feels loose and clicks every time i turn the wheel. It then shakes when i get over a speed of 50 and hit my breaks
Takata recall theengine surging, knocking, rpm was going up, and down, then would cause the car to take off from the light like a jet in which almost caused me to get into car wrecks, it would go below 40mph, whilerpm would be up at 5 while on the highway then not go forward. The car shakes so bad due to the surging of the transmission
Just bought the 2013 hyundai elantra, 12/21/2019, after about 100 miles of driving we noticed the steering wheel is off center. While driving in town and on highway shifting lanes it didn't want to go and it will pull hard left or right almost causing to run off the road. 12/25/2019, while on the way home i almost struck another car. More noticeable from 30 to 55 worse over 55. Driving on dirt road feels like it wants to fish tail. Steering is sticky yet a lot of play. Intermittingly while braking it sounds like scrapping like when your brakes are bad. Braking slowly or abruptly makes no change. Wet roads is worse with braking.
Unable to insert the key in the ignition no matter how hard we tried.this happened fairly soon after we purchased the car from the dealer; it has happened numerous times and has been towed to the dealer 3 times, but the dealer eventually gets the key in theignition and claims there is no problem "can not duplicate the problem". At one incident the drive of the tow truck hammered the key quite hard in the ignition and forced the key in! i have contacted hyundai motor and they say they can not do anything for me and claim that" this is a common problem, and i need to steer the steering wheel really hard to get the steering mechanism loose" this should not happen with 6 months old car while it is still under warranty.any input or advice would beappreciated. Thank you.
Bought this car new as a closeout on may 30th 2014. I was on interstate 57 going south about 60 miles out of paducah ky driving the posted speed limit with the cruise control on. With no warning the car went to the left across 3 lanes and then back to the right 3 lanes and again to the left 3 lanes before i could regain control. The semi behind me just about jack knifed trying to avoid hitting me. It was only because the traffic was very light and the semi and i were the only ones on the road in that area at the time this happened, or there would have been a major accident. I took the car to the dealer in paducah they said it was my brakes, they cut the routers. I could not drive the car even after the repair over 55 mph as it would wander to the left and to the right. When i returned to my home state i took the car back to the dealer and told them to return it to hyundai. I was told by the dealer that they never heard of this ever happening to anyone else. I have seen reports of others having the same problem so this is a cover up by hyundai. The steering on the hyundai is bad! there needs to be a major recall on this electronic steering. The complaints are from sonata owners also.
There are several issues with this vehicle1. 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!
Steering cupler makes a knocking noise when turning. My family machinic stated that that these cars had a recall on them. But when call dealership they said my car is not part of this recall for same issue?
My son 2013 hyundai elantrawould not stop correctly while he was driving it causing it to turn in a semi circle and ultimately crashing into a shoulder on a freeway to stop. After which the wheels broke off on the right side of it.
Steering wheel has a clunking noise. It feels like the steering wheel is going to come loose. It shows that there is a small gear inside the steering motor, which breaks apart little by little, until you cannot longer maneuver the car. This is very dangerous. Talk about an accident waiting to happen.
While sitting in the car not driving a lot of play in steering wheel.while driving same was reading forums that it could be a rubber ring. It also makes a clicking noise.
The night i bought this car i drove home and there was a snow dusting on the road.the car seemed to float all over the road.whenever i hit a small bump, pot hole, or a seam in the road (no matter how small) the car jerks out of control and swerves dangerously across the road. I thought i had to get used to the steering, but it has been a constant issue.i am very nervous for winter to lose control of the car and get into a serious accident.
Intermittent engine light illumination. Happens only after the "vehicle check in progress". Car has started to run rough both while accelerating and at a stop. Acts like it will shut off. Having to put the car in neutral and pat the gas to keep it running. There is a tsb for this issue but no active recall. Constant run around at the service centers. They say its normal for it to run rough. Also the rubber steering coupler went bad. Was making a thud noise when steering wheel was turned. Also a tsb for this....no recall. But wait theres more! the clock spring is also bad! tsb for this too! bad clock spring results in the loss of power to the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. When i replaced the steering coupling, i forgot to plug in a wiring harness under the wheel and the buttons started working again but had no power steering. Plugged the harness back in and had steering but the buttons no longer worked. Pretty sure hyundai is uploading error codes and giving people the run around in an attempt to get more money. Recall this crap already before something bad happens. Hold this company responsible for selling crap to people.
Coupling in the steering wheel is lose. Same thing happened to my 2013 sonata. Dealership told me this was a safety issue and then charged me $424 to repair the sonata 2 years ago. When i take the electra in i'm sure i will be charged same repair cost. This occurs when turning the steering wheel. Can hear and feel the clang as the coupling rattles around. Looked for safety recall for this issue for 2013 hyundai's but did not find any recalls. Should be a free fix if it is a safety issue
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra gl sedan. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle gradually decelerated to 25 mph and then began pulling to the left independently.the contact turned the vehicle off and restarted it within a few minutes and the traction warning lights illuminated. The failure recurred twice. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the mechanic stated that unknown sensors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 18,000.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the steering wheel was loose. The contact stated that it seemed as if the steering wheel could not control the vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 132,000.
Upon hitting a bump or uneven roadway car( 25 mph and above)feels like it looses contact with roadway and becomes uncontrollable.by far the worst suspension in a vehicle i have ever owned.if on highway you better be double fisted and white knuckled holding on to steering wheel because car will be all over the place if you hit a ridge or unevennessin road.the car feels like it is out of control(very scary),so much so that any passengers in vehicle also feels it and grabs hold of something for stability.i have owned 3 new hyundais,this is the first with this issue.have been hoping for a recall or admission of known problem but cannot wait any longer, very dangerous situation and i refuse to be first fatality before something is done about this.at some point someone is going to over correct when they feel this on highway and that will not end well.so i now have a vehicle that has 16,000 miles and is not safe enough where i will let my wife or children drive it.no more hyundais for me!
While driving the steering will have a slight lock to it that will be unlocked by over-correcting the wheel. This problem has been present since the purchase of the vehicle in march and was looked at by hyundai who said that there was no problem and that what we were feeling was common in an electronic steering system. In our ignorance we accepted their diagnosis but the problem has become worse since then, on 5/23/15 as i was driving the problem was so bad that it felt as if the wheel had locked up entirely and was pointed in the direction of the ditch, i corrected the problem but had to use more force than any previous time and in doing so the car jerked into the opposite lane, had a vehicle been in the opposite lane i would have hit them head on. The vehicle has not had as hard of a lockup since then however we have not gone over 55 since then either. In the city at lower speeds of 25-45 you can still feel it locking up at times however it is much more easily corrected. The problem still persists at any speed and distance, but on 5/23 was the worst incident yet and i expect that it will get worse until it is properly corrected. Hyundai though says that there is no problem and its all part of the normal operations of an electronic steering system, i however am not convinced.thank you for your time.
The steering has become loose an klunks when the steering wheel is moved back and forth from cienter position . It does this all the time wheather moving or stopped.
At speeds above 40mph the car has an issue with driving straight.when driving in a straight line you have to constantly correct the vehicle from swerving.the car constantly wants to pull to the left for no reason, and no movement in the steering wheel can be felt.i feel the vehicle is too unsafe to drive for my wife.please investigate this issue.from what i can see on forums it is a common issue.
Steering wheel has excessive play and makes noise when turning to right, feels like something is loose. This occurs even when stationary. Feels very unsafe and wife is afraid to drive car. Problem suddenly started after only 31770 miles. In over 40 years of driving and owning 15 vehicles never have experienced such a steering problem. Took it into dealer and they replaced a flexible coupling , part only cost $1.26 but labor cost was $270.00. This is a safety related problem and should be fixed by car company either under extended warranty or safety recall. Looks like a new better designed coupling has replaced the original.hyundai should notify owners before the problem occurs .
I heard a sound when i started turning the steering wheel,leftor right direction. My mechanic told me this model car has a recall about this issue
Driving down the freeway, upon approaching a slight right-hand corner, the steering did not respond.the car drifted into the left lane and finally into the median, causing a rollover accident.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving 54 mph, the service indicators illuminated, the headlights failed to illuminate, and the steering wheel seized. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and attempted to turn the headlights on and off, but they failed to respond. The contact continued driving, but the vehicle stalled and failed to restart. The vehicle was pushed to the contact's residence. The contact called van hyundai (1301 s interstate 35e, carrollton, tx 75006, (972) 437-8334), but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was not available.
Takata recall when turning the steering wheel i realized that the eps control module needs to be replaced. The steering wheel makes a lound noise when turning.
This car was purchased for my wife about a month ago and i drive it very little. When i have, the car seems to wonder real bad, much worse on new roads. It is almost like it floats side to side. This last weekend it kept drifting both ways and went off the road several times. The dealer claimed every thing is alright, but i know it should not wander like this.
Steering "knocks" while turning wheel; both standing and with vehicle moving along city streets. Looked up symptom online, which appears to be a common problem known as a defective and unsafe steering coupler. Maybe the coupler should be metal & not plastic. Steering also shakes at 45mph & also when you brake.
I purchased this vehicle back in january of 2019 & when i purchased it the steering wheel made a clicking sound. I mentioned it to the car dealer & was assured it was nothing. After having my oil changed i was told my steering column needed to be replaced. This is quite disheartening as i have had the car for just one year & a half at this point. I was told to research for recalls in relation to this particular issues as it has been reported for other vehicles of the same make, model & year. I am afraid my car steering will go out while driving.
Car can't be kept on road it's steering column is to much play and feels like its pulling to the right..and i have too hold steering wheel down too the left very uncomfortable car is brand new it makes no sense i been back to the dealer ship and they claim car is fine not out alignment. What's wrong with this it's terrible!something needs too be done! i can't enjoy it like i want it's a accident waiting too happen.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving approximately 40 mph, the steering wheel made a loud clicking noise. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 34,300.
1. The fabric on the seats is not colorfast. Any drop of clean water looks like a stain when it dries. 2. My steering wheel knocks when turned left and right, when in motion and stationary. It is the u-joint behind the break peddle from the steering column making a knocking/clunking noise.
My steering coupler has deteriorated to the point where it is unsafe to drive my vehicle.i have seen many other reports of the same problem online
If i hit any bump in the road while driving my vehicle fishtails causing the vehicle to steer into the next lane. I do no know what is causing the vehicle to fishtail. I believe that one day this can cause an accident and put myself and others at risk of hitting each other.
My girlfriend purchased a brand new hyundai elantra last year and since purchasing the vehicle it has not driven properly. At first i attributed it to the fact that she had studded tires on the vehicle during the winter, however that is not the case. The vehicle drives wherever it wants, basically. It pulls to the left, it pulls to the right--anywhere but straight!! it is difficult to steer the vehicle. I have contacted the dealership--garvey hyundai, in plattsburgh, ny on multiple occasions. The service department clearly doesn't have an honest answer for me and basically told me that the vehicle is known for that, and it "takes some getting used to." he attributes it to the electrical power steering, however it is my understanding that this has absolutely nothing to do with it and the service department is well aware of this. They did an alignment check and confirmed that everything is "normal." well everything is not "normal." my girlfriend is 8 months pregnant and is driving around in a vehicle that is very unsafe. Safety is something that she expected, and that the dealership assured her of when she made the decision to spend almost $30,000 on a vehicle. This is unacceptable and i will not stop until the dealership or hyundai make this right.
The steering wheel block, has parts which brake and that make the car impossible to maneuver. The steering coupling is defective in this car and most cars of this brand startin on 2011. Dealer has been unable to assist. The problem is present under all driving conditions, speeds, and types of roads.
My elantras brake lights are always on. My traction control light, eps light, abs light, and brake warning light are always on as well. I see where my vehicle is shown that the recalls have already been repaired on my car and i do not believe that is true or this would not be happening. My brakes lights constantly being on is a major problem because that can cause confusion on other drives and especially when i'm really using them to slow down. I'm always having to constantly replace the light bulbs on the left hand side of my vehicle as well which is odd. I'm very concerned and frustrated and wish i would receive assistance in fixing the problem. I have not been in any wrecks with my vehicle either. I also had someone check my car for any codes and vehicle speed sensor came up as well as brake switch.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that a part fractured within the rack and pinion which caused the steering wheel not to function while the vehicle was in motion. The contact was unable to steer left and right due to the failure. The dealer diagnosed that the rack and pinion needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v100000 (steering). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 83,000.
My 2013 hyundai elantra gls has the swerving problem. Any time i'm on an uneven patch of road or a bump, it's like i lose control of my car. You have to keep 2 hands on the wheel at all times to try & keep some control. I hope you agree that this is a safety issue. Pleaseopen an investigation. This safety defect exists in a group of cars pleaseorder a recall.
While stationary loud popping noise happens when turning the steering wheel either way. While driving on city street or highway if you hit a bump it makes a loud popping sound no matter your speed.
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.
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!
The electric power steering (eps) light came on and i had no power steering. Fortunately, it happened when i was starting the car and not while i was driving, which could have been a potentially significant safety issue.this happened with approximately 9,750 miles on the car. The majority of my driving is on the parkway and expressway.the dealership replaced the steering column. However, it is very concerning to me that there was a loss of power steering with such little mileage on the car. I was just very fortunate it happened while i was not driving.
I was driving in very light snow in my 2013 hyundai elantra on highway 12 n44.44043 and w79.12958, close to beaverton, ontario going traveling north nearest exit concession 7 thorah around 8 pm on the 11th feb. 2013 and the car started to fishtail at a very low speed of about 40 kilometer per hour. I just parked my car on the shoulder and called caa, i was terrified to go any further. I only have 2472 kilometers on the speedometer! it doesn't seem like a very safe car. By the way, i also have snow tires on my car.
Electric steering coupling defective. Car has only 33k miles on it. Unsafe to drive. Mechanic reports this is a common problem with year,make and model of car. I noticed too much play and clunking in steering while stationary andin motion. Car bought from dealership july 3, 2019.. I had car repaired before further damage occurred.
The steering wheel column coupler wore out. This is an issue with these cars. Found this out by doing a web search on steering problems. No recalls on this inherit problem
Clipping/popping while turning steering column. Fix not covered by dealer and is known problem. Internet search shows cars with this issue back to at least 2015. To repair at mechanic/dealer is approx $400. With it fix concerned about wear and decrease in steering ability.
Steering wheel shaft broke while turning into parking lot.
When turning the wheel while stationary or driving, there is a loud crunching sound coming from the wheel turning right or left.someone told me i will then lose power steering & that around 21,000-29,000 miles on your car this is what happens.a small wheel nut behind the wheel & dash board breaks up.i am afraid to lose my power steering.this has happened to a number of owners.
First incident happened in april of 2014. Pulling out of my driveway the power steering went out. Called the dealership, made an appointment for the following week to bring my car in and it had only happened once at low speeds. Power steering went out 2 more times during the day, called the dealership back and informed them i was bringing my car in at that moment as i felt unsafe. On my way to the dealership driving down the highway, the power steering gave out on me while exiting the highway going 75 mph. I was able to get off and luckily the dealership was right off the exit. The eps light was on and it threw a code. They told me my steering column was bad. They replaced it and all was fine. Then i had an issue with my factory installed remote start a few months later. They told me a circuit was blown and it had to be replaced. Now this year (may of 2015) i have had the remote start and the power steering go out on me once again. My car is in the shop, was told i needed steering column replaced again. I refused this answer, and they are digging deeper and have figured out there is an electrical problem with my car. I have had a loaner car for 4 days and they still are no closer to figuring out what is wrong.
Vehicle steering wheel makes noise and jerks when turning, either at a stand still or driving. I am in fear of my life.hyundai responded via email and better business bureau. Their email dated 1/9/19 indicates my complaint is about "campaign txx7," and that "wear of the coupling does not affect the ability to steer or control the vehicle and is not a safety issue."my mother in law also has a 2013 elantra where the part and labor were covered under an extended warranty and the issue is widely effecting vehicles based on a google search.they want $125 to look at my vehicle and i advised them they should have done a robo call to potential victims informing of them of this well known issue.that process would have cost them nothing.my mother in law spent about $1,000 in repairs to fix the issue before my car, shortly thereafter, had the same problem and i googled it learning how prevalent it is.her mechanic called hyundai who acted like they haven't heard of the problem until the extended warranty was brought up to them.she was fearful to drive her vehicle and borrowed a car to go to work while she had the worn coupling issue.hyundia is putting peoples' lives at risk downplaying, not informing, and refusing to acknowledge the depth of the problem.both my mother in laws car (now fixed) and now mine, are difficult to steer while driving at any speed.
Steering column coupling is bad due to which i hear the noice when i turn the steering. Also i feel that steering is hard to maneuver.
From the day i bought the car home seemed alittle funny how the back of the car shifts around. Thought maybe after a few miles it would go away.the next day my dad took the car out for a drive and noticed the same thing.now today on the highway was driving back from work and hit a little bump with a very small curve and i thought i would crash into the dividers. The back of the car shifted around alot. Almost lost total control of the car for a good few seconds. Scared the hell out of me. Wondering why hyundai has not made a recall on this situation. By the way it is not my first time i noticed the car doing this.was searching around seems like this is a very big problem on the elantra's. Is hyundai just waiting for a big lawsuit to happen?
There is a knocking when i turn my steering wheel when driving, parked, and when i go over bumps both on streets, and highway at any speed. This is very concerning and i feel unsafe driving my vehicle
While driving across a bridge, the car's rear will lurch to one side and then back again. It also happens on rough roads. There is one particular bridge that i hate driving over because i know it will happen. I fear that if this happens in slippery conditions, i'll lose control. Reading from others comments, it doesn't appear hyundai will do anything about it. My 2007 didn't have this issue. I'm also having an issue with the engine making a grinding noise on start up. There are youtube vids that show it too. The brakes make a horrible grinding noise. Also the car is difficult to keep in a straight line, you constantly have to make adjustments. I've had many cars, never these kinds of issues. A real disappointment. Wish i had kept my 2007 elantra.
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
Steering bushing under dash, causing steering issues.
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.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that without warning, the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver while driving 40 mph. The contact stated that the failure only occurred once reaching 40 mph.the dealer was contacted and advised that the failure was a natural occurrence of the vehicle however, the dealer had not inspected the vehicle or initiate a diagnostic test.the failure and the current mileage was 307. The vin was not available.
I have had nothing but trouble with the steering on this car from day one. At first i thought i just needed to get use to it. Wrong. The car just seems to float all over the road. You have no control. We drove in a snow dusting on the road and you could not keep it on the road. If you hit a slight dip in the pavement, you start to sway back and forth. If the day is just a little wind, you are continuously trying to control the car. I have never had a car that had such uncontrollable steering. This is not right. I am continuously trying to keep it on the road. I first thought it was the tires. I just spent $900 on a new set and it's the same thing. No control. I go over a lot of bridges when i go to work and it is very scary. I drive 80 miles a day to work and i am holding on to that steering wheel and working so hard to keep it from swaying that i am exhausted by the time i get to work. The steering wheel has way to much play in it. This is an accident just waiting to happen. This is a manufacture defect.
Unable to keep car in lane. Steering issue
Steering wheel makes noises when turning wheel told from a mechanic it's the cylinder in the steering wheel
August 25, 2012 - returning from work on route 28, a high speed expressway, truck in front of me slammed on brakes and decided to switch exit ramps. Slammed on my brakes and steered car to right to avoid hitting the truck.while doing so, all of a sudden the steering wheel pulled sharply to the right and i had to suddenly correct the steering path in order not to go off the road. September 5, 2012 - was notified my vehicle was ready to be picked up by jerry from hyundai customer service .i took possession of vehicle because i had no other choice. [xxx], assistant service manager,said hyundai technical support technicians were aware of an issue with steering columns in 2013 elantra but,no service bulletins had yet been issued.he also said he was informed that a recall may be issued.my car was the first that had presented with this problem.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Brake lights keep intermittent working and burning out. Steering wheel makes clicking noise. Keep having to replace tires in front. Even after alignment, car still pulls.
My steering wheel has started making a clicking noise and sticks quite often now. It feels like it is going to break off if i turn it too much to the left or the right.sometimes it makes driving very difficult. It does this in a stopped position when you start turning the wheel to turn and while in motion.
I purchased the car in march, it was my first time buying a new car. Within the first couple of days after buying the car i noticed a few rattling and clanking noises. I believed this to be the cars moving parts, and didn't think much of it at the time, especially since i was used to driving used cars that sounded worse. After a few weeks, i noticed that the noises where noticeably louder, along with a loud knocking noise when i turned the steering wheel. The dealership that i purchased the car from (universal hyundai in orlando) was booked up so i made an appointment at orlando hyundai. Shortly after bringing my car in, and having the service department look at the car, i was told that the car was sold to me defective, that "the left and right inner tire rods and lock nuts were loose, threads were damaged, and the lock nuts were left loose from the factory". The service manager explained to me that this could have easily caused an accident, and that "one tire would've went one way and the other tire would've went the other way, causing your car to come to a sudden halt". This might have caused a serious accident, and knowing that i was driving that car on the highway, taking trips with my family and children, while the car was defective was very scary and upsetting. I was very excited about purchasing a new car, and hoped that i would not have to deal with these kinds of problems. I am extremely disappointed and want absolutely nothing to do with hyundai.i have the statement from the service department stating that the factory made a mistake and i plan on filing a complaint through hyundai and the national highway safety administration.
The esc indicator/traction control activated while i was driving 50 mph.i lost complete control of the vehicle,the car headed straight for a cement guardrail on a bridge.the car decelerated, i was unable to steer and the tires screeched on the ground.i was able to push the esc off button and recover control of the car, avoiding the crash.i knew about the off button only because we have had this problem since june and hyundai was unable to fix it because it did not duplicate for them.previously we were driving at a very slow rate of speed, this time it almost killed my daughter and me!my car has been with hyundai auto-nation, columbus, ga since august 24, 2016i called on august 25 but the car vin # was not asked of me, the complaint ticket number is 1010763the first time the esc activated my husband was driving. The esc turned on, while he was accelerating onto an on-ramp back in june 2016. We turned the car off, researched it on the side of the road, found the "off" button and brought to hyundai the next day and they were unable to fix the problem! a week later the esc turned on in a parking lot while i was driving, hit the esc off button and the car behaved until aug 24th. I called hyundai to report, but since it didn't occur again, they said do not bring it in.on august 24th, the esc came on while i was in a school zone, i hit the off button, i took the off button off, to see if it would activate again so i could bring it into hyundai (they said it had to be malfunctioning at the time of visit to be fixed)it malfunctioned! almost killing my myself and mydaughter!if i hadn't known about the esc off button, i would definitely have crashed!
My steering wheel started with making a clicking sound and now the steering is pulling and quite frankly i am afraid that my car steering column will come undone and i will have an accident. This car has less than 40,000 miles on it and should not have issues.
Car has been in shop 3 times for same issue. Car pulls dangerously to the left. I've noticed many complaints online for this exact problem but not recall or fix available. This is extremely dangerous due to the fact you have to over compensate steering. This will happen on any road or highway. Even worse if roads are bad, the will over compensate itself. Scary to drive.
2013 hyundai elantra. Consumer writes in regards to windshield wiper design failure *tgwthe consumer stated the wiper blade on the passenger side was very short and the bottom end of the wiper blade left a semi-circular water streak right in front of the person sitting in the passenger seat on every wipe of the blade. Also, there was a spot at the bottom of the windshields where the passenger wiper blade left a short inverted "v" type spot that the driver's wiper blade did not clean which would freeze intoin the winter.the consumer stated the steering was too sensitive. The consumer was informed the vehicle has electric steering which may be related to the condition. The steering was so sensitive, that he had to constantly move the wheel left and right just to stay out of the oncoming traffic lane and stay in his lane of traffic. Several times, while driving, in a slight crossing wind with various groups of trees, the level of steering sensitivity forced him to run off the edge of the road to avoid entering the oncoming traffic lane. Also, on a few occasions, the consumer had to hit the brakes harder than normal, but not hard enough to engage the abs. With the electric assisted steering, it was impossible to feel if the vehicle was centered in his lane prior to using the brakes.
I recently purchased this vehicle used at a dealership. As i was driving to work on the interstate i ran over a part of the interstate that was pot holes but filled in. As i ran over the area, my back end started to fish tail. I took the car back to the dealership on 04/18/2015 and i was told that the tire pressure was wrong and that i needed to be aware that my car was considered a sports car and it would handle differently than a regular car and the back end being "loose" was normal. The tire pressure was adjusted but i am still having the same problem although not as bad and it is only on certain "bumps" in the road that the vehicle tries to fish tail.
While driving down the highway at around 65mph, the rear portion of the panoramic sunroof suddenly shattered. It did not appear to be hit by anything, and there were no significant bumps on the road.
Car loosely steered barely off road, 1/8 mile from home,bumped tree 15' away, backed up, engine shut off (as usual since day 2 of lease), windshield heated to over 150 degree's in 35 degree weather, so i vacated car, which was in flames 2-3 minutes and burned to ash..had 5 months, daily problems, battery, fuses, ignition, numerous calls to dealer, shop, no help, could easily have died in firetrap alive, car dove itself, when & where it pleased, and was uncontrollable.even hyundai motor finance has not paid on gap coverage in 11 months, ruining my credit to boot, and was over financed past legal limits, on a total new lemon and not only was car not replaced as promised,i cannot get a response from hyundai, or hyundai finance.,this was the biggest mistake of my life, and i will tell everyone to never purchase a hyundai product. You should be ashamed.and lose your franchise license.i will have to sue to ever begin to be compensated for all you have done to me, and because of your product.
My 19 year old daughter was in an accident on april 9th 2016 in her 2013 hyundai elantra. . both vehicles were at a dead stop at an intersection before eitherof them started moving. My daughter was going straight and the other vehiclewas turning, both of which were going approximately 10 mph.my daughters car hit the front fender of the other vehicle causing a bent wheel and a small dent to the fender. My daughters hyundai, totaled. Every airbag in the hyundai deployed, includingthe back seat which seemed strange since it was a frontal crash. The transmission wouldn't go in toany other gear it was stuck in drive. Thehood was smashed up to the front windshield. The damage to the car was over $12,000 there has to be some faulty part(s) or equipment on the car to cause such damage at such low speeds. I can't imagine what could happen at highway speeds in a crash in a hyundai. I wrote to hyundai about safety concerns of their hyundai elantras, their response was unacceptable: "we understand that you are dissatisfied with the design of the 2013 elantra and we apologize for any disappointment this has caused you.this information has been forwarded to all appropriate parties within hyundai for review, including hyundai management." really hyundai! people can be severely injured or die in these vehicles which i feel hyundai needs to be a little more concerned.
Elantra gt two issues related to body integrity and paint.noticed today on rear the small triangle window in back has chrome/metal decorative molding missing.clear the adhesive gave way.car is only hand-washed or goes thru touch-free car wash. 5 spots on different places on the car of paint, size of the head of a q-tip, removed.not related to scratches, paint clearly looks peelednot chipped. Locations include on hatchdoor, side panels, between door and roof, and hood. Car is in a garage at home and parking structure at work with limited outside exposure.both issues are insane for a car with 14,826 miles on it.
While driving the vehicle anywhere at 35 mph or more with the sunroof tilted or open, massive amounts of air come through drivers side window to the inside of car.this makes it impossible to hear emergency sirens or your stereo.this is a safety hazard!!
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.
The trunk latch fails and there is no way to get into your trunk for spare tires, medications, safety items, etc. Without destroying and cutting through the back seat. If you google 2013 trunk latch failure, it is very very common. This should have been recalled. We carry life saving medications in our trunk daily. If someone were stranded on the side of the road, only to find out the latch failed, they would be in danger. $400 to repair this issue which happens repeatedly to some customers is not ok. How safe are seats that have to be cut through to get to the trunk latch? they said the parts won't show where it was cut behind the seats, but it seems like that would affect safety as well.
On february 23, 2019 i was a passenger in 2013 hyundai elantra limited, when suddenly the glove box opened and fell in my lap. My daughter was driving the car and we were on highway.i was trying to close it back, but the latches on the sides of the glove box were not latching. In case of collusion it may be very hazardous situation. Besides, nobody wants to have a glove box in your laps.
On 8/11/13 the 2013 hyundai elantra that was purchased 6/3/13 at the fred beans dealership in doyelstown, pa. Unintentionally accelerated and crashed into a concrete wall in the parking lot at king of prussia mall in king of prussia pa. The car was turning into a parking space and when the gas petal was applied the car accelerated full speed into the wall.this is the second time this has happen to a car that was only 9 weeks old.it had happened in our driveway 4 weeks prior to the collision on 8/11/13, but the car was brought under control and we assumed it was just not being familiar with a new car.the car was immediately towed to the dealerships body shop for inspection and a claim was opened with hyundai customer assurance. The car was inspected by an independent inspector several weeks later and after 6 week we have received a letter stating that there was no failure on the manufacturers part and there was nothing they could do. I have requested testing results and documentation from hyundai and i was told it was classified, so i asked for a list of tests performed and it cannot be given to us.we have received several letter from hyundai, none of which had a persons last name or any name at all.i have had the car's body work repaired and have tried to trade the car into the dealership for another new car but the dealership will require another substantial down payment which makes this option unfeasible.the dealership has not had any correspondence with the manufacturer and has requested i formally ask for some monetary relief towards the new car replacement. I have made several requests and have gotten a final "no" decision from hyundai.the car has and still sits at the dealership and i will not allow my daughter to drive an unsafe an undocumented car.please let me know how to proceed.
The inside door panels are very sticky. Nothing takes the sticky away. Outside door handles are fading and chipping on door handles only.
On july 14, 2017, i was driving my 2013 hyundai elantra and was attempting to make a left hand turn at a signalized intersection at a speed of about 15 miles per hour.about midway into the turn the steering wheel locked and i could not turn the steering wheel to complete the left turn.in addition, i was braking and the abs braking did not function properly and did not stop the vehicle until it ran into a concrete curb.the result of the malfunctions of the steering and braking on my 2013 hyundai elantra was damage to the front right of the vehicle, including bumper, wheel, tire, radiator support, etc.i am very thankful that i was not hit by another vehicle or injured.i am concerned about the performance- or the lack thereof - on july 14th.something happened and no one seems to be able to explain it despite inspecting scanning codes, etc.the vehicle engine kept running, the key was in the ignition, and there was deployment of the airbag(s).there have been other complaints about the electric assisted steering and braking on the 2013 elantra according to research.i want to make you aware of an additional complaint regarding my elantra.the damage required replacement fright front wheel, right front tire, right fender liner and inner bracket, radiator support, right hinge pillar, right lower control arm, right fender, painting and 4 wheel alignment.the vehicle steering malfunctioned and locked even thought the engine was still running.this malfunction prohibited me from turning the steering wheel and completing the left turn safely.the braking system failed as it did not stop the vehicle and i noticed a slow abs sound versus the typical very rapid abs sound when hard braking.the malfunction of the steering and the brakes could have caused a catastrophic failure but fortunately did not.
Hyundai replaced my 2013 elantra's engine (68k miles) as a "goodwill gesture" due to a flaw in the original engine which wasn't allowing enough oil to get to the engine. Two days after the engine replacement the car died while being driven in which they suspected it be a fuel pump issue. After resolving that suspected issue the car againshut off while in motion during the test drive and caught fire while the car was pulled to the side of a city street after being driven for only one block.
Pulling into the parking space at work less than 5mph car accelerated and hit the parking garage wall. Reported to my car insurance company, car was taken to dealership after body shop. Dealership couldn't find anything on diagnostic report.
I was parking my car in a parking lot of a store.i slowed down and applied the brakes.somehow the brakes failed and i hit another car.the collision stopped the car. I have only had the car for 1 year and feel very unsafe.
I own a white 2013 hyundai elantra and the paint is peeling back even though there has been no damage to the area. After returning from a 120 miles expressway trip the paint is peeling away.
The hood latch was accidentally released, and then when driving on the highway, the hood flew open while driving, causing over $2000 in damage to the vehicle.over 600,000 hyundai models including 2013 were recalled in 2017 for this exact issue: "hyundai said a cable for the secondary hood latch can corrode and bind, causing the latch to remain in the unlatched position when the hood is closed. The hood may open while driving if the hood is not securely closed, or if the hood is inadvertently released."i want to make sure this complaint is logged for the elantra model as well.
My wife was driving the car. It was a dark road in the night. Perhaps she didn't see the stop sign and crashed into a vehicle coming from right hand side, going in the same direction my wife was going. My wife crashed the other vehicle from behind.it was serious crash in which the entire front portion of the car is damaged. But the air bags did not come out. My wife had her head hit the steering wheel and had an injury.my complaint is "why did the air bag not inflate in such a serious crash?" ..updated 10/06/14 . Updated 05/13/2015
I rear ended a car and nearly totaled my car. For some odd reason the airbag never deployed during the time of impact.
Driving along at 40mph there was a loud explosion.the panoramic sunroof exploded.stress crack along its entire perimeter, shattering glass, and creating a convex crack in the middle of the glass. This is the static-non-movable part of the sunroof and was closed at the time.glass fragments entered interior of vehicle.i have brought this to the attention of local dealership and hyundai consumer affairs.i have also noted there is a recall with same issue of the hyundai veloster and others have the same experience with the elantra as documented on your website.this has been documented when both vehicles described have been moving or parked.obviously the glass is of fault or there is a flaw in the design putting the glass under stress.i do not feel safe driving the vehicle and expect hyundai to offer an engineered solution as i am of the same discipline.i have photographs documenting the incident.dealership is prepared to replace glass.however, i worry of future incidents that could create an accident resulting in a vehicle crash or personal injury from flying glass.
On july 18, 2014, my 2013 hyundai elantra ran into a subway restaurant at 12150 s. Cicero, alsip, il.i was going into the subway parking lot, my goal was to park, but my car did not stop when i put on my brakes. My car kept going; it drove over the sidewalk, through the scrubs, and hit the building head on. Hitting the building is what stopped my vehicle, my air bag did not deploy.i then put on the brakes, put it in reverse and backed off the building, backing into the parking place that i was originally going into to park.once my car was parked, it began to smoke.i got out of the car, looked at the damage to my car and the subway building, called my insurance company, state farm and my son.the 2 employees in the subway, called the police and the subway restaurant owner.
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).
2 weeks after i purchased this car, the airbag light on the instrument panel came on. Dealer refused to do anything about it.also noticed 2 weeks after i purchased, that the sunroof assembly leaks, and water pools around the spare tire. Worried about water damage caused to the spare tire, and the possibility of mold growing.
Got a hyundai 2013 elantra gt in early nov. 2013 with the style & tech package which has the panoramic sunroof.the car is barely 3 months old.driving to work on 288 south fway when i suddenly heard a boom, at first i thought it was another car that had blown its tire but then i heard thesunroof cover above my head fluttering.pulled over just as a f350 truck parked in front of me, driver comes out and tells me i cracked his windshield, i see that the front section of my sunroof is gone.the driver says he was behind me and saw my sunroof implode and a huge piece of the glass hit his windshield and shattered.asked him if he saw anything hit my roof and he said no.driver helped me clean up a lot of the broken glass that was still on my roof.he also pointed out the damage to the paint on the rear section above the led brake lights.we exchanged information & i decided to drive to the dealer since it was not far off.on the way a lot of the broken glass started falling inside the car.at the dealership they all said they had never heard or seen anything like this happen before.since they did not have the facilities to repair the damage they referred me to another dealership where i arranged for the car to be towed.told the service dept what happened and said they would investigate.their verdict is that a rock or something hit it to cause the damage.they will replace the sunroof out of courtesy but not cover for a rental car despite a warranty.service mgr says he can do one and not both. Not to mention they would not retouch the paint damage.my insurance will not cover because their investigation points to a manufacturing defect since this has happened before.i am really concerned about this incident happening again which could result inan accident or serious injuries.worried about the integrity of the sunroof.
The 2013 hyundai elantra was parked in a driveway and turned off, and an electric fire started in it.it burned completely up.
Purchased what i believe is a lemon from the stamford hyundai. Vehicle was not inspected and recall issues not addressed.another car that hit mine stated that my car brake lights indicated i stopped when i actually released the brake pedal.i believe that the dealership over charged me for a defected vehicle and failed to address the brake pedal issue which caused my lane change accident.i would really appreciate it if someone can assist me with this serious infraction.again my vehicle was in motion but the other driver said it appeared to be. I wasn't informed by the salesman of any defects or issues. The day of the accident i was driving in brooklyn ny on remsen avenue. Impact occurred on remsen and kings highway. Any assistance with this will be appreciated.i purchased this car cash 6405.70 when the asking price was 4670. I've been ripped off and could have gotten killed.help please.
My son 2013 hyundai elantrawould not stop correctly while he was driving it causing it to turn in a semi circle and ultimately crashing into a shoulder on a freeway to stop. After which the wheels broke off on the right side of it.
I purchased a 2013 hyundai elantra on june 18, 2012 from dick hannah volkswagen hyundai of portland, oregon.within a few weeks, i began hearing a noise coming from the trunk area.i made an appointment with the dealership to have it looked at on august 24, 2012.initially, i was told that they tried to use epoxy to fix the noise and i would have to wait 36 hours (over the weekend) to let it dry.on monday, the sound was still there and they ran further tests.i was then informed on wednesday that the car had been transferred to the collision center in vancouver for further inspection.on thursday, i was informed that the vehicle would need to have a part re-welded.i really was not told exactly what was being welded at that point, but that it would not be ready until the next week (following the labor day weekend).finally, on tuesday i was able to talk to the service manager, [xxx] and was informed that they had contacted hyundai to see if others had encountered the same noise.a hyundai engineer had to come out and help diagnose the problem.they verified the noise was coming from the right rear shock tower.they removed the reinforcement cap and shock tower and found two spots missed by factory welder, which did not properly adhere the strut tower to the car body and signs of rubbing making the noise.they were able to clean up the area and re-weld the piece together.they reinstalled the right rear shock tower and reinforcement cap to factory specifications.i am told that hyundai now has a file on my car.the car was returned to me on thursday, september 6, 2012.a full two weeks after i brought it in for the noise.this is clearly a huge safety defect and others should be aware of it.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Driving on the interstate when a loud explosive sound like a gunshot occurred. The car shook violently, i thought i had been hit, although nothing had been close to me. When i realized i was still driving on all four tires and not flipping end for end, though the wheel was still vibrating violently, i felt glass raining down on my head and there was extensive air noise. I looked up and almost all the entire panoramic sunroof was gone, and what was left was falling on my head. The road was smooth, there was no overpass near, and no cars were in my immediate vicinity.i pulled off the interstate and called the dealership.
The accident happened while i was driving on the freeway with light traffic traveling around 60 mph. It first began when i felt an unbalance of the front right tire. The car suddenly veered to the right regardless of my efforts to maintain control. My car fishtailed for a moments and almost caused me to crash into another car. I had no control of the car when my car crashed into the wall that lined the right side of the freeway.after visually inspecting the wheel, it appeared that the front right rim was cut in a half vertically and all around.it was cut in a near-perfect straight line - similar to what a opened can looks like. The tire remained fully intact without any damage. The body shop mechanics told us that they have never seen the rim cut like that before and said the only explanation would be a defect in the rim. We have pictures and can provide them upon request.the body shop mechanics and insurance adjusters are all clueless to how and why this occurred. Please open an investigation to help us determine the cause. The total estimate of the costs have estimated to be around $14000.
Driving down highway with light rain.temperature approx 34 degrees. While at speed limit (65mph) the moon-roof exploded!not simply shattered but exploded. (inside 'sun' cover was open at the time) there were no other cars on the road within 1/2 mile of me. I did not just pass under a bridge and no construction on the roadway at the time of the explosion. Almost lost control of car but managed to maintain until i could pull over on side of roadway.suffered minor cuts to scalp, face and neck (nothing that required hospitalization).significant shards of glass throughout the interior of the car and some minor damage to paint surface from shards of glass hitting the outside of the car; rear roof of car and rear deck lid of trunk. Lodged complain with corporate hyundai (have case number), also went to local hyundai dealership gave them case number and had them take photos. Dealership initial reaction is that glass is not covered. They suspect the dropping temperature may have had something to do with it.i have escalated my claim with hyundai corporate; asking under the circumstances that this is obviously a manufacture defect, that they cover all costs of repair. Awaiting their response.
I was pulling into a parking space on a sunday afternoon at a business park. It was mid day and dry. I was slowing down and half way into the space when the car suddenly accelerated. It seemed like the car went out of my control. The car was stopped by a 3' shrub or else i would have crashed into the building. In the process, a car parked beside me was also damaged.

Moonroof exploded while driving on highway about 60-65 mph.
Sun roof (moon roof) exploded.while traveling at 65 mph, with the sun roof closed and the internal ceiling shade closed, an extremely loud pop came from the roof of the car.very loud!then, the sound of wind and broken glass streaming over the car and onto the cars traveling behind us.we pulled over and found the sun roof shattered from edge to edge.we made our way to the nearest hyundai dealer and persuaded them to vacuum out the glass.they told us that this was due to a rock hitting the top and would not be covered by the warranty.we made our way home with no top but talked to many different hyundai representatives who all claimed that they'd never heard of such a thing.our subsequent research has suggested otherwise.this is a major concern for the safety of those driving and occupying these cars and for the other drivers on the road as well.
I noticed the paint on my driver side, side window looked like it had bubbled, got worse and is starting to happen on the other side. Also, the grill in front looks like it has melted in numerous areas. Brought to dealership and manager of body shop said he has never seen paint melt and bubble like that this needs to be fixed!
Sunroof failure while driving on tollway, sun shade closed which prevented shards from falling into cabin.
Myself and my son pulled into the parking lot of a store. Parked the car was in the store about 5 minutes came back out, tried to use the remote to pop trunk and it wouldn't work nor would the doors. I then opened the door with the key and the car was full of black smoke. Someone pulled up told me to pop the hood that something was on fire. At that time it sounded like something was running but the car was off and keys in my hand. Moments later i noticed fire started to drip under the dash right at the fuse box area on the drivers side and with minutes the car was fully engulfed in fire. A total loss. New car had 8-12 miles on it when i bought. Fire department was called and put it out. I have pictures and it was horrible. Blessed that we weren't driving at the time.hyundai has been notified and my insurance has requested several times for their engineers to come and inspect the car. As of today no one hasn't shown up or responded.

I purchased the 2013 hyundai elantra gls with 13,400 miles on february 15, 2014. After a few days of driving the vehicle i realized that the car floats all over the road when driving pretty much at any speed. You have to hold the steering wheel with both hands to keep control of the vehicle. The rear of the vehicle also jumps around when driving over imperfections on the roadway. The back end suspension is very stiff and when going over these imperfections the vehicles veers into another lane or shoulder. I have called hyundai with no response and emailed them only to be told to bring it to a hyundai dealership. I brought the vehicle to the freehold hyundai dealership twice now and was told the vehicle operates to factory specs. This is an unacceptable answer. I have a family and fear that an accident is going to occur with this vehicle due to the poor handling and someone is going to get injured or even killed. I demand hyundai reimburse me for what i have paid for this vehicle or issue a recall and fix the problems that many of the elantra owners are dealing with.
From the day i bought the car home seemed alittle funny how the back of the car shifts around. Thought maybe after a few miles it would go away.the next day my dad took the car out for a drive and noticed the same thing.now today on the highway was driving back from work and hit a little bump with a very small curve and i thought i would crash into the dividers. The back of the car shifted around alot. Almost lost total control of the car for a good few seconds. Scared the hell out of me. Wondering why hyundai has not made a recall on this situation. By the way it is not my first time i noticed the car doing this.was searching around seems like this is a very big problem on the elantra's. Is hyundai just waiting for a big lawsuit to happen?
I just purchased this car about a month ago.i noticed much like numerous complaints similar to mine that when i hit bumps or potholes or uneven roads, it seems to sway.almost feels like you are losing control.i am starting to think this might be a major issue and might result in serious injury or death.which in turn may result in major lawsuits.if i were the nhtsa i would seriously open a investigation!now!do it now please before people get killed!
Hitting a pothole at. Low speed destroyed my tire and bent the rim.this is the fourth tire lost under similar conditions.the impact seems to be borne by the rim which then crushes the tire.this complaint about the 2013 elantra shows up in numerous reports on the cars.com website.
This has been an ongoing issue, when hitting any type of bump in the road, the rear of the car feels like it is going to fishtail, worse on wet roads. The abs brakes work and then they don't, the steering will feel loose and then tight. I have noticed there is a lot of complaints about the car feeling like it is going to fishtail or has when hitting bumps and yet, no recall is forced on hyundai. I guess it takes a fatality to get anything done. A car should never feel like it is going to fishtail when hitting bumps.the engine hesitates when going uphill or when accelerator is pressed quickly.
Driving on freeway at speed of approx. 65-70, hit off level pavement on right side on road while braking to slow (for traffic) and brake pedal hardened (pedal hard to press for few seconds) while making clicking sound, but then functioned properly. Felt like front pass wheel. Figured nothing. Months passed, driving in shopping center and going over speed bump at about 5 mph and front wheel made clicking again while braking to slow further and brake pedal hardened again (difficult to press for few seconds) then functioned properly. Took car to dealer for regular maintenance and informed dealer of situation and service rep claimed it was how the abs system worked and that was all it was, the abs system working. Told him this problem does not happen when the left wheel is involved hitting or going over bump. First time owned vehicle with abs but i think the brake pedal is not suppose to harden up while abs system is functioning as this would limit any braking capacity. Feels like there is a bigger problem and dealer is not taking it seriously. Original owner since 7/31/13, this problem has happened at least 4 times and all seemed to only involve the front passenger wheel.
I purchased this car in july 2014. A.2013 hyundai elantra and after 3 weeks the front passenger tire went out after barely hitting curb around by september 2014, the drivers tire was deflating replaced. On 2/10/2015 the tire in rear went out while driving on highway, the dealership says it could because a nail got into the tire and caused the problem.it just seems a bit unusual for 3 tires in less than a year of owning this vehicle, which was new purchased july 2014.2013 hyundai elantra.
Rental car, hyundai elantra 2013, from enterprise.vehicle unsafe to drive, can lose steering control very easily, which i experienced first hand during rainy conditions.the other drivers in front and behind me did not have any issues with steering, but this vehicle lost control...updated 07/15/14
I bought my 2013 hyundai elantra gt on september 12, 2014, it had 41053 miles on it. As i left the dealership it was raining very hard and i noticed that it was very difficult to keep the car in my lane; my car was pulling to the right, not only that, i hit a bump or manhole and the bad end of the car fishtailed so bad that i thought i was going to hit the car that was in the right lane. I was driving a few days later, i hit another pothole and the car did that same thing but this time the roads were dry. At this point, i realize that the first incident had nothing to do with the roads being wet, it was the suspension on the car that's causes the car to pull to one side and for it to fishtail the way it does.i did some research and i realized that hyundai owners have complained about this problem for quite sometime but the hyundai corporation fails to acknowledge this as a problem; this is a very dangerous problem. To be honest, i'm a little frighten to drive my car; hyundai corporation needs to acknowledge that there is a suspension problem with the make and model andthey need to do something to correct this problem asap before someone loses their life.
Since buying this car in november 2014, i noticed an issue with stability while driving on the highway and was unsure as to what was causing the car to feel like it was jumping after hitting small bumps.after doing some research i understand now that it is the suspension that is causing this instability. The bumps i hit on the highway are not major bumps, these are just the small ones that transition from section to section of the highway so i know it isn't the road i drive on, it is the car. This is actually the third hyundai i have owned, and have never had any issues like this with their vehicles. I have always felt safe while driving them until this hyundai elantra 2013. Also while driving on the highway, anywhere from 45-65mph the driving stability feels unsafe and the vehicle wavers back and forth on the highway, having to always correct it. When it is windy it is extremely worse. I cannot believe hyundai made a car this unsafe. Driving this winter i have only hoped that the jumping and wavering didn't cause an accident on the highway. That is completely unacceptable to feel that way in a newer vehicle. Please continue looking into and investigating this issue as the company should be made responsible for these issues.
I have experienced loss of control of this vehicle several times, including today. As i have faithfully maintained my car, i have come to the conclusion the design of the car is the issue.specifically, when i attempt to apply the brakes, the car will not brake properly and is very hard to control. Today, i experienced the car hydroplane and thank goodness no other car was in front of me or on the side because it took me at least two minutes before i could gain control again. This occured when i made a right turn while driving about 25mph and no puddles of water were present.early april, i had a similar incident where i had to pump the brakes several times, although my brakes were replaced a few weeks prior.back in december 2019, i had a similar incident on the highway i-95 while driving home. I have it documented through aaa. My tire blew and the car failed to stop. I took it to my dealer and advised what happened and they insisted my tires and brakes were fine.i did some research online today and found i am not the only customer experiencing this issue. I saw several customers stating they received a recall notice, however, i have not received one. I am very concerned for my safety to the point i no longer want to drive this vehicle.
At speeds greater than 35 mph on rough roads rear end of car will slide out to right causing vehicle to head towards incoming traffic.if brakes are applied when vehicle loses control abs activates and car seems to leave ground.this continues to happen over and over.car dealer repair says this is not happening.notes this might be the first time i had this type of suspension.car does not feel safe on interstate.i've tested the bump out in an empty lot.if not correct by hard steering car will depart lane.
Upon hitting a bump or uneven roadway car( 25 mph and above)feels like it looses contact with roadway and becomes uncontrollable.by far the worst suspension in a vehicle i have ever owned.if on highway you better be double fisted and white knuckled holding on to steering wheel because car will be all over the place if you hit a ridge or unevennessin road.the car feels like it is out of control(very scary),so much so that any passengers in vehicle also feels it and grabs hold of something for stability.i have owned 3 new hyundais,this is the first with this issue.have been hoping for a recall or admission of known problem but cannot wait any longer, very dangerous situation and i refuse to be first fatality before something is done about this.at some point someone is going to over correct when they feel this on highway and that will not end well.so i now have a vehicle that has 16,000 miles and is not safe enough where i will let my wife or children drive it.no more hyundais for me!
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 number10785827107829481078217910777921107765961074964010748705107267131072230910721075107166821071379510712467107063331070444510695023106942571069128810680416
1.airbag light has been turning on.no apparent reason but i was told that if in an accident will not deployed. Since 10/12/20162.suspension is not the greatest, car will swirled sometimes if exceeding 40mph hello i live in puerto rico there is no such thing as 40mph in our roads...3. Tire sensors are constantly braking.4. Front headlights seems get humidity when it rains or get too cold.5. Brakes sometimes do not work as they should, i stop and it seems to keep going i would have to brake again to make it stop and these is not going more than 40 mph.
After i bought the car new in 2012, a couple weeks later i began noticing and still to this day, when i hit any size of bump in the road, the back tires feel like they are coming off the ground and the rear of the car fishtails. This happens from about 45 mph on up.on the highway, i hold on for dear life when i see a bump, and let off the gas.(not sure how much that helps, but it's just my instinct). If there is a row of bumps/holes, i have trouble keeping control of the car.also i have to replace two tires about 24,000 miles, as they get uneven wear from a fixed? rear axle that is designed to not be aligned.not sure if that is related to the car fishtailing.i bought the car with intention of passing down to my daughter, but would never let an inexperienced driver behind the wheel of this car for fear of them dying.
When cornering and the road is slightly uneven the car skitters side ways, or in bad cases if you hit a bump the car steps sideways.depending on the speed or the tightness of the turn, the car can drift sideways by quite a distance.
I previously owned a 2012 elantra and had no complaints, i traded it for the 2013 and have serious concerns.when the roads are dry the car drives great, however when the roads are wet or plowed snow i have very little control over the rear of the vehicle.i spent $800 for new snow tires hoping that would make a difference but it does not.i drive 150 miles per day round trip for work and it is mostly interstate.when it rains or snows i am not able to safely drive over 40-50mph without the rear end swaying and fishtailing.every other car is traveling at highway speeds and there i am in the right lane just struggling to keep my car on the road at 45mph.i am frustrated that my hyundai dealer and the hyundai office are totally disregarding my safety by not acknowledging that this is a serious safety issue.keep in mind that this is not a tire issue because the problem exists even after new snow tires are put on the car.also, it is not a winter driving issue because the car reacts the same way when it is raining outside.
My car's rear fishtails as i travel over depressions or slight bumps in city roads at any speed (betwee 35 - 50 mph). It is scarily noticeable when i hit a slight bump driving at high speeds on the highway. It doesn't feel like the car is balanced. When driving, i feel like i'm losing control of the car even on sharp curves, which could cause an accident. I took it back to the dealerfor a service check 2 days ago (i bought the car about two weeks ago), and they said that the driving experience in this car is characteristic of this model; it's the way the rear axle was designed and there's nothing they could do. I asked the service department to check the suspension and struts as well. They said those were fine but they "tightened it up". I have no idea what that means if it was fine in the first place. Now i'm stuck with driving a car that i don't feel safe driving on the road in all conditions. My tires have sufficient tread on them, so that's not the issue either. I want hyundai to investigate the complaints of the 2013 elantra limited edition.
I purchased my car in 2015. I was loving this car until i was on wet/bumpy roads. I applied the brakes to stop. The hyundai started making a grinding noise.when i applied the brakes it felt like the brakes was going all the way to the floor. When it is snowing i can't drive the car because the brake gets locked up and makes a lot of noise. This car is dangerous to drive in inclement weather. Also this car suspension is horrible. You feel all the bumps in the road. Hyundai needs to do a recall on this car. Most of my problems with this car was driving in the city. Driving on wet roads coming to a stop or hitting a bump in the road. The car swerves and make aloud grabbing noise. Sounds like the brakes are coming up through the floor. I love the car but don't love the way it drives. I had to replace the front rotors and brake pad with a full alignment. This vehicle still drives the same way even when all this work was completed.
The vehicle fishtales and mishandles on the highway especially at higher speeds 40-60.i have to grip the steering wheel tight to have safe control. At times it is a whiteknuckling experience. I just bought the car 7 weeks ago. The dealer has reassured me on 3 visits to service that it is safe. However there is something defect with this vehicle and i dont feel safe driving it.
When you drive over a bump / pot hole / road irregularity the rear end of the car jumps and acts as if it is going to fishtail (like hitting a patch of ice in the wintertime). This occurs at any speed above 25 and get more pronounced the faster you are driving. A quick search of the internet indicates that this is not isolated to just my car.
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.
My 2013 hyundai elantra gls has the swerving problem. Any time i'm on an uneven patch of road or a bump, it's like i lose control of my car. You have to keep 2 hands on the wheel at all times to try & keep some control. I hope you agree that this is a safety issue. Pleaseopen an investigation. This safety defect exists in a group of cars pleaseorder a recall.
Only when wet braking starts to make noise and act like it want stop. It has new brakes.*dt
From day one the suspension always seemed mushy or soft.when driving over uneven pavement, the car seems to experience lateral gliding or swaying.at highway speed it can feel like you're going to shift into the adjacent lane.
While traveling on the interstate, if you hit a bump, the rear end sways. Sometimesit sways so much it feels as if i am not in control of the vehicle. It seems to happen at speeds over 45 mph. The car doesn't feel safe to drive.
Car purchased new (limited trim) in december 2012.during winter 2013 (dec/jan timefrime), i hit a significant pothole ona local highway on-ramp blowing out the front passenger-side tire.after being towed to a local repair shop (no spare tire supplied), tire was replaced with a new identical tire.service station called asking for authorization to replace d/s front tire also since it had a side-wall bubble.i declined permission and when i picked up the car brought it to advantage hyundai for the second tire.on july 11, 2014, i found another sidewall bubble on the d/s front tire and had the same dealer again sell me a new tire. Today 10 days later, another front d/s tire sidewall bubble. No abnormal potholes encountered.including the blowout, this is four tire failures in 19 months and 25,000 miles.tires are 17" low profiles and rubber is from hankook.situation is unsettling.this is a dangerous situation for anyone driving in this vehicle.
When going over any road defects or abnormalities, while driving the car, i have become aware of how the suspension is on this vehicle makes noises, fishtails, and seems to bottom out with any speed bump. Rear wheels seem to lose traction when hitting any type of small hole, crack, or drop in road flatness. Suspension also sways awkwardly with certain turns. Only getting more and more noticeable as the car continues to age.
My car drives funny over the road and on hill and steering really feels bad like something wrong with the car this is driving in my town.i just brought the car fom the dealer what can i do?
The car literally rides like a truck, with a very light back end.when going over even slight bumps the ride (suspension) feels like a big hole or very rough road.there are times when the back end does not feel very stable when going of "washboard types of roads".road noise is distinctly loud at times.
While driving on freeway and driving through normal traffic flow, drove on wide curve portion on road, i ran into some uneven portions of road when on curve and rear end of vehicle felt like swaying (slightly loosing control). Felt real loose. This also happens on uneven roads on straightaways. This happened at speeds between 60-70 as this happened quite often on uneven roads. Did not notify dealer on this directly, notified them on hyundai (e-mail to me) on vehicle satisfactory suggestion report.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving over a small bump at approximately 55 mph, the vehicle bounced roughly. The failure occurred for three months. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.updated 8/12/14
My 2013 elantra coupe fishtails when you hit a bump or uneven place in the road.this is a very scary feeling and will cause accidents.i am very shocked that hyundai has not recalled these cars for safety reasons because there are many many complaints on here so it must have been brought to their attention.it is my hope that they recall this issue now before there are more accidents.i also have the problem with the truck popping open while inside a store.
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!
When driving on the freeway approx 65 mph and you hit a pothole or uneven road the car sways back and forth like a boat i have new tires and just got it aligned thinking it would help but it still sways and feels like it will jump into the other lane. I had noticed it before but didn't think too much until my son drove it and mentioned something. I have viewed the other complaints about this so i know i am not alone thinking this is unsafe.
The first time this happened i had my car for about two weeks. I was driving my 2013 hyundai elantra on a rough road and the rear end felt like it was fish tailing. It was a very scary experience. I was driving approx 30-35mph. This happens every time i drive on an uneven surface. I have to hold the steering wheel as tight as possible with both hands and the car still feels uncontrollable. I have taken it to the dealer but they drove it and said that there is nothing wrong with the car. It is so scary that this company will let people drive a car around that is this dangerous. I have three children and it scares me to drive the car with them in it. I have also had problems inter-mentally with the car failing to start. The dash lights come on, the radio and a/c all come on but the engine will not turn over. After several attempts it finally starts. I took the car into the dealer and they said that the car had no problems starting for them.i have had this car for a little over a year now and the problems continue. I bought this car based on the reputation of hyundai. What a mistake!
I purchased a 2013 hyundai elantra on june 18, 2012 from dick hannah volkswagen hyundai of portland, oregon.within a few weeks, i began hearing a noise coming from the trunk area.i made an appointment with the dealership to have it looked at on august 24, 2012.initially, i was told that they tried to use epoxy to fix the noise and i would have to wait 36 hours (over the weekend) to let it dry.on monday, the sound was still there and they ran further tests.i was then informed on wednesday that the car had been transferred to the collision center in vancouver for further inspection.on thursday, i was informed that the vehicle would need to have a part re-welded.i really was not told exactly what was being welded at that point, but that it would not be ready until the next week (following the labor day weekend).finally, on tuesday i was able to talk to the service manager, [xxx] and was informed that they had contacted hyundai to see if others had encountered the same noise.a hyundai engineer had to come out and help diagnose the problem.they verified the noise was coming from the right rear shock tower.they removed the reinforcement cap and shock tower and found two spots missed by factory welder, which did not properly adhere the strut tower to the car body and signs of rubbing making the noise.they were able to clean up the area and re-weld the piece together.they reinstalled the right rear shock tower and reinforcement cap to factory specifications.i am told that hyundai now has a file on my car.the car was returned to me on thursday, september 6, 2012.a full two weeks after i brought it in for the noise.this is clearly a huge safety defect and others should be aware of it.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Noticed when i test drove this vehicle in april 2013 when it hit small bumps in the road it seemed unsteady in the back. Thought it was just the dynamics of a new vehicle i would get used to. I'm used to driving dynamics of small vehicles. There have been a few times where i've been driving at speeds between 20-70mph when i hit a bump on a straight/curved road and vehicle would shake wildly and feel like it was out of control.today we have snow covered/slushy roads and i've been particularly cautious. At ~60mph on i70 (which was clear and plowed), i moved to the passing lane to go around a slower vehicle before a creek bridge. When i hit the edge of the bridge i completed the maneuver, but a small lip on the section of bridge meeting the road caused the vehicle to fishtail and almost hit the vehicle next to me. I was fighting for control of the vehicle for 300 feet, which is worse than i have ever experienced in this vehicle, hence the reason i wrote this complaint. It felt like another experience i had in a fiat with a bent rear axle, every time it would hop over a bump it would wobble in the back end and yet it felt slightly different because i couldn't correct it quickly when the car should have settled. From reading other people's complaints, it seems plausible that the problem with the elantra may in fact be in the front end with the power steering auto-correct to center. That is what it felt like i was fighting those 300 feet, not the dynamics of the four wheels not being square on the road, but instead like as if the car was fighting me. Something needs to be done because i could have lost control with kids in the car. Judging from other people's experiences with their dealers on the issue, what is the point if they're just going to give us the run-around and inconvenience us even more by withholding our vehicles and then giving them back without a fix?
As others have mentioned, i have had both problems starting the vehicle (the car could not be started on two occasions so far, despite having adequate fuel and a charged battery), and with the rear of the car swinging out when traveling over a bump or on slippery road conditions (even at speeds as low as 35 mph, there is a noticeable kick from the rear of the vehicle, which has worsened with time). For both cases, the dealer was unable to find an issue, and/or said any kind problem was "within tolerance."
They car drives fine until you hit a any sort of bump or hole in the road.when that happens the back end wiggles and in the rain it is much worse.it is even worse on the highway going at a higher speed.i have read several other complaints online with drivers facing similar issues. I am worried that it will one day lose control.i do not feel like i am in control of the car, i've taken it to the dealer several times and they say everything is fine and that is just how the car drives.
I drive a 2013 hyundai elantra gls and every time i drive over an uneven surface or bump the rear end fishtails out of control and when it happens on the free way it's either you lose control or risk getting rear ended by braking hyundai refuses to do anything about it they sent us to a mechanic 3 times in 1 month and they keep saying nothing iswrong when clearly something is there is an entire forum about people complaining about the same exact issue http://m.carcomplaints.com/hyundai/elantra/2013/suspension/suspension.shtml
Continuous issue with control of car when windy or wet roads.any time i'm on an uneven patch of road or a bump, it's like i lose control of my car. Car wanders out of control on wet road or when windy.
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.
No spare tire , no jack or tire iron.
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.
Vehicle fishtails and sways when hitting a bump or a seam in the road.this happens every time.yesterday evening i hit a seam in the road on a curve (dry pavement) and it threw me into the other lane.i'm grateful there was not a car in the other lane it would have caused an accident.dealership states there is no recall or known issue but this is a very dangerous characteristic of this vehicle and it's going to cause great injury to an owner or passenger.in researching this problem there are many other 2013 elantra owners experiencing this same issue.
Rear of car bounces around when traveling over bumps are speeds as slow as 25 mph. Now at 14,000 miles the rear drivers tire is wearing badly on inside of tire. Car is getting increasingly or unstable at speeds when going over rough roads, rr tracks. Dealer has been rude and uncooperative and tells me to change my driving style.this is a dangerous car for the inexperienced driver, i have to compensate for the defect.
While driving at speeds between 35-75 the sways side to side. You have to constantly fight the car from the swaying and if there is a bump or uneven pavement it is even worse. If you hit a pothole or bump in the road the rear of the car will jump out and you fill out of control. The steering is like an 1980's vehicle with all the back and forth on the steering wheel. This is the worst driving car i've ever had ...please help fix my car and all the others that have probllems. I've did bring it to a dealership and of course they said everything was good but its not.
The brakes make horrible creaking and grinding noises when wet. Sometimes it will even cause the car to shake. I have contacted hyundai several times and they do not take this serious. I have taken it to the dealership several times and they have not been able to fix it. I just took it in last week and they even tried to get me to pay 100 for a cleaning of the brake components, i feel i should not have to pay to fix a problem we have had since we bought the car new and have had it in several times and they have not been able to fix it. I am not confident driving the car now and clearly no one would want it buy it off us when it makes such horrible noises. I also believe it cannot be safe and will cause premature failure of the brake calipers and / or possible the ball joints or front steering suspension.i think they have a faulty design in the brake hydraulics and the differential pressures between the front and rear brakes are not right.
The rear of the car shifts dramatically when hitting even small bumps in the road at speeds from 25-30 mph up to highway speed.shifts occur even more dramatically whengoing over a bump on a curve.checked tire pressure and had mechanic take a look.i have seen posts of others with this very complain, but have not seen it addressed by hyundai.
I feel very unsafe driving the 2013 hyundai elantra.i bought this vehicle brand new in nov 2013.in july 2014 for the first time my tire pressure light went on.i have my car serviced at my hyundai dealer regularly.every service i mention this problem.as of april 1st the light has come on once a week.the tires get dangerously low (22lbs).today apr. 23 i brought my car in again for service and received the same run around about the tires.they rotated them and told me there was no signs that anything was wrong with them.also the car does not seem solid when driving at highway speeds.it jumps and sways at every little bump.my brakes were also vibrating.today the told me it was a pulsation and charged me $190 to supposedly remedy the problem which remains to be seen because and doesn't happen all the time.no parts were involved in this fix.the cost was labor.this vehicle currently has 27,000 miles on it.i feel the hyundai people have very little regard for their consumers safety.
The accident happened while i was driving on the freeway with light traffic traveling around 60 mph. It first began when i felt an unbalance of the front right tire. The car suddenly veered to the right regardless of my efforts to maintain control. My car fishtailed for a moments and almost caused me to crash into another car. I had no control of the car when my car crashed into the wall that lined the right side of the freeway.after visually inspecting the wheel, it appeared that the front right rim was cut in a half vertically and all around.it was cut in a near-perfect straight line - similar to what a opened can looks like. The tire remained fully intact without any damage. The body shop mechanics told us that they have never seen the rim cut like that before and said the only explanation would be a defect in the rim. We have pictures and can provide them upon request.the body shop mechanics and insurance adjusters are all clueless to how and why this occurred. Please open an investigation to help us determine the cause. The total estimate of the costs have estimated to be around $14000.
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
When driving over bumps in the road, the entire car shifts/jumps to the side. It is very scary, as i feel like i am going to go into someone else lane or lose control of the vehicle. I am told it is because it has a solid rear axle, and that it is just a "characteristic" of the vehicle, but that does not seem okay.... It's been happening for as long as i can remember, it did not just start happening.
They car drives fine until you hit a any sort of bump or hole in the road. When that happens the back end wiggles and in the rain it is much worse. It is even worse on the highway going at a higher speed. I have read several other complaints online with drivers facing similar issues. I am worried that it will one day lose control. I do not feel like i am in control of the car, i've taken it to the dealer several times and they say everything is fine and that is just how the car drives.
I was driving straight across a bridge the back end started to fishtail it went back and forth several times- i could not get it under control it finally spun out and killed looking into on coming traffic.the fish tailing has happened several times since then.i have only had the car 6 weeks and am scared to drive it.i have read that this is a known problem for this car.what i can't understand is why there has not been a recall on this.
Whenever the vehicle travels over slight bumps, or indentations on the road, the rear end of the car unsettles and pushes right. With increase in travel speeds, the rear end get more unstable. At highway speed, it becomes so bad that whenever there is any slight bumps or surface imperfection, the rear of the car hops right violently to the right or starts to fishtail and sometimes becomes uncontrollable. Specially on wet surface. It is hard to get the car back in control when not careful and may cause a major and fatal accident.which checking for the issue, it appears that it is common issue among elantra owners. In my personal experience driving, my car fishtailed so violently that traction control light came and it was hard to control. Few times, the car fishtailed and ended up in right side lane without me wanting it to do that. These all happens at highway speed. It is less severe on city speeds but still noticeably bad.
The 2011 through 2013 elantra's have this same inherent issue in which the rear of the car is not engineered to maintain a straight line or track properly over bumps and dips in the road. I have taken my 2013 elantra limited to mccarthy blue springs hyundai and called hyundai customer service and requested contact by their district service manager over the past year but it has been over 2 months and no response from the district service manager (today is 8-27-2013). The service department knows this is an issue but say its the way the car is made and there's nothing they can do about it. The problem is an issue in turns and can kick the car out of line in wet, snowy or icy conditions so much that the vehicle stability assist must intervene. These are not conditions that my other car has an issue with or any car that i've owned in the past that did not have vsa. The issue is not due to the rear end of the car being light due to not having a spare tire as some have been told, this issue is purely the fault of hyundai and may even involve the electric power steering not being properly tuned to maintain a straight line as the wheel will abruptly return to a position far left of center. I have spoken with other 2011 to 2013 elantra owners and they have the same complaints and i have driven other cars and they exhibit the same issue. Its long overdue for a recall nhtsa.
Recall please !!i spent my life savings on this car and it is dangerous to drive.the car fish tails over small bumps and at low speeds. In winter driving its almost out of control and a separate set of snow tires is mandatory so you don't get killed.when it crosses railroad tracks it actually tends to turn on its own onto the direction of the tracks ! if you hit a dip in the road the car seems to lose control. And at highway speeds forget it - it sways across the lanes on its own as if it is constantly catching the wind. I cannot drive it on the highway - i am white knuckled by just a short trip trying to keep control of this car. This car is more of boat then an automobile. If i sell the car my losses will be huge.i got a wheel alignment, tires and took it into the dealer all to no avail and the problem is getting worse as the car is aging too. Basically the dealer said this is the way the car is built too bad so sad.
I recently purchased this vehicle used at a dealership. As i was driving to work on the interstate i ran over a part of the interstate that was pot holes but filled in. As i ran over the area, my back end started to fish tail. I took the car back to the dealership on 04/18/2015 and i was told that the tire pressure was wrong and that i needed to be aware that my car was considered a sports car and it would handle differently than a regular car and the back end being "loose" was normal. The tire pressure was adjusted but i am still having the same problem although not as bad and it is only on certain "bumps" in the road that the vehicle tries to fish tail.
I drive 2013 hyundai elantra, rear suspension is terrible, very unstable even on small bumps. It's dangerous and unsafe!
I purchased a new 2013 elantra gt in may of this year. A week after taking it home the tire pressure light went off while driving. We pulled over & immediately blue link sent an alert telling me a malfunction in my tpms was found & to take the car to service asap. Took it to the dealership & was told that is was a simple learning failure. Reset code & was sent on my way. The next week the car did the same thing with the tpms. Back to the dealer it went.had it scanned again. Was told nothing was wrong & they cleared the codes thru blue link. I was then told to just ignore it & it should be ok. Mostly it is just electronically interference. I parked the car & used my husbands car for a while.i start using my car & going down 295 it happened again. Pulled over & blue link sent the alert again.called the dealership & made an appointment. I was told that they had a certified hyundai professional technician that was going to look my car over.after 4 hrs of waiting i was given a paper asking me not to use electronics in the car as this was causing my tpms issue. They paper was dated march 2007. Really? at that point i was frustrated so i called hyundai corp office. After an hr conversation i was told to take it to another dealership for service. So that friday off the car went to another dealership. At the dealership i was told that the car needed an alignment bad & that my tires were over inflated by 8lbs each. So 3 hrs & a lot of patience i was told the car was all set.20 mins after leaving the dealership the tpms light goes off again with the blue link alert to service the car asap. The following day back to the dealership again. This trip i was told i needed a sensor changed. 3 hrs later i leave & half way home tpms again. That's 5 times no repair. Now they can't provide me a loaner but want to keep the car overnight. Car has been parked for 2 weeks waiting.
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 thevehicle 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.
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
On my way to work i was exiting the highway and i hit a bump. I was taken by surprise as what felt like the rear of the car bounced up abnormally and lurch toward the guard rail. The handling on rough surfaces is awful. This could lead to an accident. I just bought this car used and the engine is noisy which i am told this is the timing chain. I never had a car like this in my long life. The handling really worries me. Sucks!
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
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. When traveling over a bump in the road or unleveled land at various speeds, the rear of the vehicle swayed back and forth as if the suspension were unstable. The contact indicated that the failure progressed each time the vehicle was driven. The vehicle was not inspected or diagnosed. The vehicle was to be taken to an authorized dealer for further inspection and diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.....updated 07/22/15 updated 10/06/2017
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.
As noted from other complaints regarding this problem, i have also had this vehicle become almost uncontrollable at speed when hitting bumps or uneven pavement.the rear of the car wants to shift right or left and if not caught in time could cause one to side swipe another vehicle or just run off the road.thankfully because of past road racing experience, i've been able to counter steer the vehicle before there is an accident.its only my belief that there is tire/wheel/suspension issues creating this situation.you would think that with all the complaints filed, hyundai might want to take a hard look at what is creating this stability issue.
'takata recall' while driving at highway speed if i hit a slight bump or irregularity in the road rear end of car jumps around. On wet or slick roads it is even worse. From the complaints i have read i am not the only one with this problem. Hyundai needs to recall these vehicles and fix this problem before someone loses their life. I noticed an issue with stability while driving on the highway and was unsure as to what was causing the car to feel like it was jumping after hitting small bumps. After doing some research i understand now that it is the suspension that is causing this instability. The bumps i hit on the highway are not major bumps, these are just the small ones that transition from section to section of the highway so i know it isn't the road i drive on, it is the car. Also while driving on the highway, anywhere from 45-65mph the driving stability feels unsafe and the vehicle wavers back and forth on the highway, having to always correct it. When it is windy it is extremely worse. I cannot believe hyundai made a car this unsafe. Driving this winter i have only hoped that the jumping and wavering doesn't cause an accident on the highway. This is completely unacceptable to feel that way in a vehicle. The company should be made responsible for these issues. This happens so often at least over 20 times in just this year i'm afraid for my life and so are a lot of other people with the same issue
As soon as i bought my car and drove it away, i noticed that it fish tails when it drives over uneven roads or potholes. My first time on the freeway with it was definitely a frightening experience. As soon as i hit about 60 mph i was fishtailing so bad that i had to death grip my steering wheel with both hands until i could exit off. I feared for my life, i seriously felt like i was going to lose control of my vehicle and crash. I try to avoid the freeway as much as i can. I don't know if the back end is too light weight or what, but this issue really needs to be investigated. The loss of control over a vehicle is a huge deal and can lead to fatalities.
When i drove the new car off the lot it began pulling to the right, but since we bought it late on a friday afternoon i couldn't do anything until the following day. The passenger air bag light also came on (i'm referring to the light by the tachometer, not the one below the radio). Bluelink performed an inspection remotely & said to take the car to the dealership asap. The following day we took the car back to the dealership & they said they needed to keep the car until monday, but we were moving to a different city therefore we would have to take the car to a dealership in our new city instead. I told the story to the service dept, left the car there at the new dealership, 2 days later i came back to get it. The air bag issue was fixed but not the pulling to the right. The alignment specialist came with me to test it, realized that it was still pulling, we went back to the dealership & switched the two front tires & went again for another test. The specialist realized that the car was now pulling to the left. We test drove the car over 8 times, they said alignment was good & only attempted to rotate the tires multiple times, car still pulled. I took the car to a different dealership, they agreed the car was pulling but wouldn't do anything because another dealership had already inspected it & i would have to pay even though the car was barely two wks old! i went back to the previous dealership, we tested it again with the service manager. They tried to convince me there was nothing wrong, when clearly the car still pulls strongly to the right. I had to escalate the problem to hyundai usa as the dealership wouldn't do anything further. After reading the owners manual, it clearly states that the power steering should be checked if the car is in alignment, yet pulling to one side. The dealership never recommended this, nor did any testing of the steering.
I noticed my 2013 hyundai elantra was making a sound from the driver side( in 2018 )wheel when i turn and also the car sways when driving at slow speed. I reported it to the hyundai of las vegas dealership where i bought my hyundai from on 6/2017 but they said i had no extended warranty. I then received a "recall notice" for the 2013 hyundai elantra (1/29/2018) and took it back to hyundai of las vegas who fixed a brake pedal defect free of charge. I know there are 29 hyundai consumer complaints reported to the nhtsa about the "swaying motion" on hyundais that is a safety issue related to the suspension which should be on the recall priority list to in my opinion since i am making monthly payments for my used hyundai. It will cost the price of a new car after i am donepayingoff the entire car loan i owe.
My 2013 hyundai elantra limited has the swerving problem. Any time i'm on an uneven patch of road or a bump, it's like i lose control of my car. You have to keep 2 hands on the wheel at all times to try & keep some control.i do not feel safe doing my weekly drive from de to ny!!
As with many others, my 2013 elantra likes to kick the back end out over bumps at highway speeds. I passed an accident last weekend on the highway where a 2013 elantra had crashed into the cement barrier just after a bridge on wet roads. My car jumped over the same bump although i was at a lower speed because of the accident and it wasn't as severe as it would have been if i was going faster. It is much worse as the car gets older. It also has other issues that owners have complained about such as not wanting to start (3 times) and white smoke if you accelerate too quickly. Dealer has been no help.
I have found that since purchasing my hyundai elantra that anytime i hit a pothole or bump that the whole car shifts to the right or left.i went around a corner the other day at a low speed and hit a bump, the whole back end slid to the right.i find this very unsettling.i'm not sure if this is a suspension problem with my vehicle or a vehicle defect in general with this car.i find it unsettling and unsafe that my car cannot handle even the slightest bump without the whole car shifting to one side or the other.have you had any other complaints about this vehicle?i was not made aware of any issues when purchasing this car but am concerned enough about it to bring this to your attention.
At around 38000 miles i noticed that i was hearing a lot of noise out of the rearend of the vehicle. Thinking it was a bad wheel bearing i took it to a dealer and they said my rear tires were bald and needed replaced. I took a look at the rear tires after leaving the dealership and noticed it was a very uneven and irregular tire wear pattern so i took it back to the dealership and they told me it was because i needed to rotate my tires more often (tires were rotated every 3000 miles when oil was changed) and that was why the irregular wear on only the 2 rear tires. The wear appeared as wavy spots where the tire had no tread then right next to that it had plenty of tread left. So i gave in bought all 4 brand new tires and after 1500 miles i went ahead and rotated the tires noticing that the rear tires had already began to wear in the exact same pattern so i took it back to the dealership and they told me it was a bad set of tires. Needless to say i took it to a local tire shop and had them check the alignment on the back tires even though it is a solid rear axle. The alignment check showed that the rear wheels do not track straight and that is what is causing the rear tires to wear very fast. I took this information back to the dealership which refused to check the alignment on the rear wheels because it is a solid axle vehicle and there is no adjustment for it. They continued to blame the tires and rotation schedule for the problem. After doing more research on the web this is a known problems with the hyundai elantras and the dealerships refuse to fix it even knowing that problem with this particular vehicle. If a tire ends up blowing out due to the rear axle not being mounted correctly i could see that being a big problem.
Purchased what i believe is a lemon from the stamford hyundai. Vehicle was not inspected and recall issues not addressed.another car that hit mine stated that my car brake lights indicated i stopped when i actually released the brake pedal.i believe that the dealership over charged me for a defected vehicle and failed to address the brake pedal issue which caused my lane change accident.i would really appreciate it if someone can assist me with this serious infraction.again my vehicle was in motion but the other driver said it appeared to be. I wasn't informed by the salesman of any defects or issues. The day of the accident i was driving in brooklyn ny on remsen avenue. Impact occurred on remsen and kings highway. Any assistance with this will be appreciated.i purchased this car cash 6405.70 when the asking price was 4670. I've been ripped off and could have gotten killed.help please.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds the vehicle would become unstable after driving over a bump or pot hole in the road. The contact indicated that the vehicle was very difficult to drive in a straight line. Also, the brakes had malfunctioned on multiple occasions after driving over a bump or pot hole. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. After changing the coil springs and replacing the tires the vehicle continued to experience the failures. The manufacturer was notified of the failures but no solution was offered. The failure mileage was 2,000.
The esc pitched the car sideways @ 65mph on i-84 s of sturbridge ma. The car has no directional stability as it wanders side-to-side requiring constant steering control.
My girlfriend purchased a brand new hyundai elantra last year and since purchasing the vehicle it has not driven properly. At first i attributed it to the fact that she had studded tires on the vehicle during the winter, however that is not the case. The vehicle drives wherever it wants, basically. It pulls to the left, it pulls to the right--anywhere but straight!! it is difficult to steer the vehicle. I have contacted the dealership--garvey hyundai, in plattsburgh, ny on multiple occasions. The service department clearly doesn't have an honest answer for me and basically told me that the vehicle is known for that, and it "takes some getting used to." he attributes it to the electrical power steering, however it is my understanding that this has absolutely nothing to do with it and the service department is well aware of this. They did an alignment check and confirmed that everything is "normal." well everything is not "normal." my girlfriend is 8 months pregnant and is driving around in a vehicle that is very unsafe. Safety is something that she expected, and that the dealership assured her of when she made the decision to spend almost $30,000 on a vehicle. This is unacceptable and i will not stop until the dealership or hyundai make this right.
I purchased the 2013 hyundai elantra gls with 13461 miles on 2/15/14. The first few days i drove the vehicle locally everything seemed ok. A few days later once the vehicle was driven on bumpy uneven roadways the rear end of the vehicle appears to not stay in line with the front of the vehicle. When driving over uneven surfaces or bumps at speeds of 30mph and up the rear end seems to be out of control making the vehicle veer into another lane. The suspension on the vehicle for such low miles is also very noisy and rattles over the slightest imperfections on the road. The vehicle was serviced on 3/12/14 and the hyundai service advisor stated that a hyundai tech test drove the vehicle and stated that the vehicle is operating as designed. Also they found that the rotors had rust on them and had to be resurfaced/machined. Rotors should not go bad with a vehicle that has low miles. I purchased this car for the safety of my family and now am stuck with years of payments. I am not a happy hyundai consumer. I have seen numerous complains for the same issue. A recall needs to be done on this vehicle for the suspension problem.
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).'
While driving at highway speed if i hit a slight bump or irregularity in the road rear end of car jumps around.on wet or slick roads it is even worse.from the complaints i have read i am not the only one with this problem.hyundai needs to recall these vehicles and fix this problem before someone loses their life.i may just trade it and get a car that handles the way it should.
When i was driving the vehicle ina 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.

I feel very unsafe driving the 2013 hyundai elantra.i bought this vehicle brand new in nov 2013.in july 2014 for the first time my tire pressure light went on.i have my car serviced at my hyundai dealer regularly.every service i mention this problem.as of april 1st the light has come on once a week.the tires get dangerously low (22lbs).today apr. 23 i brought my car in again for service and received the same run around about the tires.they rotated them and told me there was no signs that anything was wrong with them.also the car does not seem solid when driving at highway speeds.it jumps and sways at every little bump.my brakes were also vibrating.today the told me it was a pulsation and charged me $190 to supposedly remedy the problem which remains to be seen because and doesn't happen all the time.no parts were involved in this fix.the cost was labor.this vehicle currently has 27,000 miles on it.i feel the hyundai people have very little regard for their consumers safety.
I was driving on i278 west bound in brooklyn, ny, and my driver side front tire went over a pot hole. It wasn't a deep pot hole since the impact was not severe, so i continue driving. After a minute of driving, the tire pressure indicator came on. That's when i pull over to the side of the highway, and called road side assistance.this has happened four times since i purchased the car. Three out of the 4 cases happened on the driver front wheel. They either had bubble on the sidewall, or completely blew out. There is definitely a problem with the tire design, or the material used. It is becoming extremely unsafe to drive the vehicle due to the frequency of tire blow out.
My daughter has a hyundai elantra 2013 with 6700 miles, she was driving at 60mph on a freeway and her passenger front tire blew out.she lost control and ran into the concrete barrier on the freeway. She has frame and body damage to her front end. Thank god she is ok except for her collar bone area being bruised from her seat belt. She did not hit anything before the blow out.she could have been seriously hurt.no tire with only 6700miles should have a blow out like this one did.the car has nexen cp671 tires.i am waiting on nexen tire company to call me back. Hyundai really has not offered any help.
I was traveling on interstate when the tire pressure sensor indicate there was a problem with the tire.i pulled over and front passenger tire was extremely low.i used the air pump and filled tire.i exited the interstate and drove to the nearest tire repair shop. All 4 tires were below 32 psi.a digital reading indicatedthe tires range from 13 to 19 psi.i had the tires filled.on 12-17-2012 same problem.tire sensor indicatedthere was a problem.i drove to mechanic and had tires check.all four tires were inspected and no damage or punctures were founded.all four tires were filled with air. On 12-29-12, tire pressure sensor came on. I drove to mechanic all four tire were check.all four tires were low (range of 12 to 21 psi).tires were filled to 32 psi. On 1-8-2013, sensor came on again. Tire were check and all four tires were low (tire ranged from 15 to 22). All four tires were filled to 32 psi. On 1-21-13, tire pressure sensor light came on again. All four tires check and needed air.digital reading indicated the tire range from 9 to 15 psi.tires were filled back to 32 psi.
Car purchased new (limited trim) in december 2012.during winter 2013 (dec/jan timefrime), i hit a significant pothole ona local highway on-ramp blowing out the front passenger-side tire.after being towed to a local repair shop (no spare tire supplied), tire was replaced with a new identical tire.service station called asking for authorization to replace d/s front tire also since it had a side-wall bubble.i declined permission and when i picked up the car brought it to advantage hyundai for the second tire.on july 11, 2014, i found another sidewall bubble on the d/s front tire and had the same dealer again sell me a new tire. Today 10 days later, another front d/s tire sidewall bubble. No abnormal potholes encountered.including the blowout, this is four tire failures in 19 months and 25,000 miles.tires are 17" low profiles and rubber is from hankook.situation is unsettling.this is a dangerous situation for anyone driving in this vehicle.
I was at the local mall and i left to go to a nearby kohls, not even a mile away. I noticed that the lowtire indicator had come on and parked the car in kohls parking lot. A couple noticed me struggling with the equipped air pump and came to help. The tire wouldn't hold air and we tried a can of fix-a-flat. It didn't help either and we noticed that there was a small hole in the tire which had apparently blown out. I stopped at a nearby walmart and had to purchase a tire to get home. My husband and i stopped at the dealership early the next morning to speak to our salesman who immediately ushered us to the service manager who said " no" no problems with tires that we know sorry. The whole conversation and their customer service took about 2 minutes. I truly believe that there was an issue with the tire but they were reluctant to even discuss it. The car has less than 1200 miles. I guess it was easier to be friendly when selling than servicing.
I have a 2013 elantra gt and have had numerous issues with wheels and tires.in the winter of 2013-14, i had this car for only 4 month and started having issues with bubbles in sidewalls of the tires.the original tires were kumho 245/45r17 tires and bubbled or went flat after normal driving or upon encountering a bump or pothole.the tires were replaced with falken 245/45r17 tires in february of 2014.in november of 2014, another bubble appeared and a second on december 4, 2014.it is a concerning condition of unsafety and unreliability when a vehicles tires are so prone to damage.i was able to purchase the road hazard warranty with the replacement tires, but have learned that this will no longer be available and the 17" tires will be considered 'low profile' going forward and replacements will not be covered and will need to be paid out of pocket.not only is this a scary situation, it is expensive and time consuming.please look into this complaint and the many others that have been submitted for the same issue.
The tire blew out the side wall.now there are bubbles appearing on the other tires.i contacted continental tire.was told to take it to a continental tire dealer and give them file # [xxx].i went to discount tire and they said continentaltire would cover 50% of the two tires to be replaced, file # [xxx].i believe that the tires are defective.i am afraid that the other 2 factory tires are going to do the same thing. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Tires that came factory on the vehicle did not last as long as the tire was rated from the manufactures website.they are nearly bald, due to highway driving, and the manufacture and car company will not honor the tread life warranty.they said that there is not an owner warranty because i did not purchase the tires.this is confusing to me, only because i bought a $24,000 car! continental was contacted by me to discuss this, and i've taken my vehicle to the dealer.neither is willing to accept the fact that the tires did not last like they had advertised.next vehicle i purchase i plan on removing anything with the name continental on it.
Since i brought the car brand new in june of 2012 i have been having problems with the front tire on the passenger side. I have brought new tires and the tire pressure light comes on all the time. Pohanka replace the valve stem back in august. No they are telling me i have to replace the sensor 3 and register the tmps sensors for $220.00 and i also have been replacing the headlights and tail lights more then i like too. Very unhappy customer. I previously owned an 2002 hyundai elantra brought it brand new i had it for 10 years and didn't this must problem and had 262,000 miles on that car. I love the new model but shouldn't be having this many problems.
Noticed a golf ball sized bulge on left front tire side wall. Tire brand are hankook optimo 215/45 r17.
2013 hyundai elantra. Consumer writes in regards to tire mobility kits safety recall. *ldthe consumer stated the dealer advised the recall expired. Theairbag light was on.
Second side wall tire blow out on hyundai elantra was driving on a pretty typical road (bumps etc) but no huge chuck holes and tire sidewall gave out.
Flat tire. Brand new from the dealer only 22000 miles on the tire. Not past warranty. No work was ever done on the tire. Found out that it was purchased brand new with a plug in it.
Driving on the pa. Turnpike at 65 mph, hit a small pot hole and the back left tire blew. I needed to be towed because the car air pump did not work. This was the second flat in one month. The first was due to hitting a curb at 2mph which punctured the side wall of the tire which had to be replaced.
Purchased new 2013 from dealer.mileage at pick up - 212.i picked the car up, approximately 2 wks after signing paperwork, because my mom was hospitalized.i drove the car for a couple of wks - to work, the hospital. I'm 48 yrs old, i drive cautiously.it's my first new car in 17 years. I'm parking far from all cars + being very careful with the car.the car has been having some problems so i gave it a really close inspection + discovered the front tire had a small bubble, the size of a quarter, in the outer wall.at that point mileage was under 700 miles.i returned to the dealer, salesman implied they would fix it - not the case.the dealer said not our product and sent me to a tire company who they said deals w/ nexen warranty paperwork - not the case.i called nexen on june 12th (mileage was approximately 726 miles) + reported it.i gave them tons of information + told them the name of the dealership manager i've been dealing with on the multiple car issues.they said they would call the dealership + see if they could get them to cooperate with them.they also said they were going to see about replacing the tire on a 1 time basis.to date i have heard nothing.the tires are written about extensively online - many people have trouble with this tire on this car.some think it could be the combination of the tire size 17" + the car, speculating the car might not be able to handle this size.it's a huge safety issue.bubbles equal blow outs, endangering the lives of those in the car + those driving or walking in close proximity. Hyundai is also misrepresenting the car and so are the sales people at mirak.i told them i did not want low profile tires.they told me they were not low profile tires.and they told me to look at the sticker.the sticker does not say low profile tires.but the tire pros say - they absolutely are low profile tires.
The tires that came with my elantra ((hankook h426 215/45 17) had to be replaced in less than 18 months as the side wall was bulging dangerously.my son who has a 2010 elantra with hankook tires had a blow-out while driving.i think these hankook tires are dangerously unreliable.thank you.
While driving my 2013 hyundai elantra down the highway @ approx 50mph, the left rear tire failed in the center of the tread. No warning. The car is driven by my teenage daughter for school and work. She hit nothing in the road. Hasn't hit anything with the tire. Dealership says it was due to a puncture. I refuse to believe that. If you have wire(s) showing, seems to me that would be a tire failure and not a simple puncture. This is not acceptable with me. Hankook tire warranty in new jersey said to have the dealership send them the tire and they would inspect it to make a determination of failure or puncture. I have as much faith in them as i do the dealership at this point.
Purchased 2013 elantra less than a year ago with hankook tires. Driver side tire blew out on 6/15/14 at 11k miles. Thank god it happened going around a corner at slower speed than highway driving. Another tire on the rear was also blistered and ready to pop - we had to change before driving to avoid bending another rim should tire blow. Anyway, to make a long story short, neither dealer or tire manufacturer would take responsibility for this defect and cover under it their warranty. Out of pocket expenses currently at $1600. Had to purchase 4 good year tires (including rim, alignment, strut, etc) since no one is safe driving with tires that came with vehicle (18 yr old daughter is primary driver).
The car came with continental tires and both the front tires sidewall have bubbles.seems to be tire defect.hyundai - brad benson hyundai - nj refused to cover the tires.huyndai refused to replace the tires.continental tires paid 50 % of the cost to replace both the front tires.i still paid 160/- for 2 front tires.there seems to be a defect in the tires or the elantra 2013 4 dr ltd design.i would like to be compensated.i am scared to drive the car now.maybe all 4 tires needs to be replaced.
Nothing "happened" just noticed one day that there was a bubble on sidewall of front driver's side tire.
I have a brand new hyundai elantra gt with 17" wheels.it has about 3200 miles on it.i know that i recently hit a pothole on the highway, but nothing that i thought was very serious.i discovered a bubble on my left front tire shortly thereafter and ordered a brand new nexen 215/45r17, which is the brand the car came with.when the shop installed the tire, they discovered that my other front tire also had a smaller bubble on it.i am now getting that replaced as well.there are discussion forums online detailing case after case of elantras with 17" wheels having bubbles, blow-outs on the highways etc.here's one for example: http://www.cars.com/hyundai/elantra-gt/2013/consumer-reviewsguessa few people will have to die before anything is done but hoping that isn't true.

Every few months one of the tires on our 2013 elantra limited fails while driving. Our car currently has just 11,000 miles and is less than 1 year old and since we bought the car we have had 2 tires blow holes in the sidewall (months apart from each other) and a third developed a large blister. My dealer referred me to hyundai cust svc, hyundai customer service told me that they do not cover the tires at all and it is not their problem.continental tire customer service told me that they manufactured the tire specifically for hyundai and to their specifications and if there is an issue with design then i would have to pursue it through hyundai because they do not warrant against "road hazards." i do not feel that this is a safe vehicle for my wife to continue to drive unless this situation is addressed.currently we have had 2 tires blow out while driving leaving my wife stranded and without a spare (vehicle does not come with a spare!) the car then needs to be towed.oem tire brand is continental contiprocontact radial - 215/45r17 87h.
I bought my 2013 elantra on 7/17/12 from orlando hyundai. On 8/4/12 while driving on i-95, the tpms (tire pressure monitoring system) light began to flash. I immediately pulled into the nearest tire shop and had the tire pressure checked on all 4 tires and they were all fine. The mechanic suggested i have my dealership take a look and possibly have them reset the sensors. Upon my arrival home, i took my car to the dealership and they were unable to provide a reason for the sensors going off. The issue persisted for several months causing me to spend countless hours at the dealership. They even went as far as to keep my car for over a week, drive it several miles and replace the entire system including all four tire sensors. Despite this, the tpms light still flashes. They have attempted to convince me that usb and aux cords in my car (used with my phone) are causing a signal interference with the sensors. In my opinion that is a bogus excuse. The car should not have the features if they are unable to coexist. The dealership has also attempted to reassure me that nothing is wrong with the car and it is safe to drive even while the tpms light is flashing. I do not believe this either as i constantly have a safety feature alerting me to believe otherwise. I have told the dealership and hyundai headquarters that i believe this car is a lemon on several occasions. They informed me that a car is only a lemon after having the same issue fixed 3 times. Thus far i have had my tpms fixed twice. I do not feel safe at all driving this car with dysfunctional features.
I purchased a new 2013 elantra gt in may of this year. A week after taking it home the tire pressure light went off while driving. We pulled over & immediately blue link sent an alert telling me a malfunction in my tpms was found & to take the car to service asap. Took it to the dealership & was told that is was a simple learning failure. Reset code & was sent on my way. The next week the car did the same thing with the tpms. Back to the dealer it went.had it scanned again. Was told nothing was wrong & they cleared the codes thru blue link. I was then told to just ignore it & it should be ok. Mostly it is just electronically interference. I parked the car & used my husbands car for a while.i start using my car & going down 295 it happened again. Pulled over & blue link sent the alert again.called the dealership & made an appointment. I was told that they had a certified hyundai professional technician that was going to look my car over.after 4 hrs of waiting i was given a paper asking me not to use electronics in the car as this was causing my tpms issue. They paper was dated march 2007. Really? at that point i was frustrated so i called hyundai corp office. After an hr conversation i was told to take it to another dealership for service. So that friday off the car went to another dealership. At the dealership i was told that the car needed an alignment bad & that my tires were over inflated by 8lbs each. So 3 hrs & a lot of patience i was told the car was all set.20 mins after leaving the dealership the tpms light goes off again with the blue link alert to service the car asap. The following day back to the dealership again. This trip i was told i needed a sensor changed. 3 hrs later i leave & half way home tpms again. That's 5 times no repair. Now they can't provide me a loaner but want to keep the car overnight. Car has been parked for 2 weeks waiting.
Tmps lamp illuminates intermittently, had tire pressures checked and they are/were in compliance with manufacturers standards, the tmps continues to come on and off randomly so it is difficult to know for sure if their is a problem with a tire.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving various speeds, the check tire pressure motoring system warning light illuminated sporadically and then disappeared. The contact would periodically pullover when the malfunction occurred and the tire pressure on all tires was normal. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer held the vehicle for 90 days and brought a hyundai engineer to diagnose the failure. Both the dealer and manufacturer were unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure persisted. The failure mileage was 21,781.
We were traveling in a remote area and while going down a hill the tire pressure monitor system alert came on. There was no place to pull off the road due to guard rails, so i slowed down and continued down the hill until i could pull off the side of the road. There was no cell phone service and this car has no spare tire. The tire was not completely flat and a nail was seen in a repairable area of the tread on the driver side rear tire. The manufacturer provides free road service, but since there was no cell phone service, i had no choice except to use the provided tire repair and inflation kit. The instructions were followed and the tire was inflated to 32 psi as per the instructions. I disconnected the tire repair air pump from the valve stem and my wife was about to replace the valve stem cap when the tire exploded and force from the air knocked her to the ground and onto the roadway. She skinned her knees and had a headache for hours after this. The force of the tire explosion also shattered the wheel well plastic liner. Had the tire explosion been on the outside of the tire my wife would likely have been gravely injured. The loud sound from the tire exploding got the attention of a ranch crew repairing fences in the area. They said it sounded like a shotgun blast. One of the crew members offered us use of his phone to call for help. We spent 2 hours in the heat arranging for a tow and waiting for the tow truck. The car was towed to the nearest tire shop that had the correct size tire for sale. This was over 25 miles away in pinetop, az. I have contacted hyundai numerous times in an attempt for them to compensate me for the damage to my car and injury to my wife caused by their tire repair kit without any reasonable response from them. In my opinion, their tire repair kit is a safety issue that needs to be addressed by hyundai, and i should be compensated.
I was driving on the highway when all of a sudden my low pressure tire light came on. As i was slowing down, the passenger rear tire suddenly blew and i began fishtailing until i could control the vehicle and come to a complete stop on the side of the road. The vehicle came with hankook optimo tires, and they are only 10 months old with about 22000 miles on them, well under the warranty. Had to get a flatbed tow and purchase a brand new tire from local dealership.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra.the contact stated that instead of being equipped with a spare tire, the vehicle was equipped with a repair kit. The contact was advised by the manufacturer that he would have to purchase a spare tire. The contact felt that the feature was a safety issue because he could experience a failure with the tire and not be able to get to a service station or repair facility.the manufacturer advised that the spare tire kit was equipped on the vehicle based on their specific policy. The contact had not experienced a failure. The current mileage was 935.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the vehicle was not equipped with a spare tire or a jack. The contact also mentioned that without a cellular signal no one could contact road side assistance to change a flat tire. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 6.updated 04/17/14 ma
I find the lack of a spare or doughnut, not provided on this model to be a absolute accident and safety issue waiting to happen. Most flats today because of so much debris on our roads cause most tires to inccur damage unrepairable with a areosol can.as far as having road service solving and replacing the tire there are so many different senarios that affect the repair or replacement and towing of the vehicle consequently putting the driver and his passengers in harms way. These type breakdowns on busy highways and less traveled routes only expose the drivers and passengers to additional safety issues. If this unit had a doughnut spare it could be installed and on the vechile as soon and as fast as road service arrives. Issues on roads less traveled on holidays,weekends,and late and very early hours ,and the need to find a shop to purchase a tire and a place to spend the night become a larger issue than the flat tire. As far as not providinga spare because it eliminates weight and will increase mpgs is a bogus premise on the part of auto makers. Unfortunately i believe we will see injurys and sadly some deaths resulting because of the absence of a spare or doughnut. These sad circumstances will result in law suits and class-action litigation.
2013 hyundai elantra.consumer writes in regards to vehicle tire issues.the consumer stated the vehicle was sold to her, without a spare tire. She discovered there was no spare tire, after her tire went flat.the consumer stated only a mechanical instrument came in the vehicle to put air in the tire.however, the instrument did not work correctly.

While operating the vehicle, the brake lights remained illuminated when the brake pedal was released, the traction control indicator remained illuminated, and the gear shifter could be switched from park to drive without depressing the brake pedal. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the pedal switch, but the failures continued. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 66,795.

On or about 10/20/2016 my car all of a sudden would not start, i was working out in the field went into a patients home and the car as i turned the ignition key, nothing happened. 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, calledlutes 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.
The vehicle, intermittently will not start.after turning the key all lights on the dash illuminate but the engine will not turn over.after multiple tries the vehicle will start.this has happened four times.
We brought our vehicle in, under warranty, for engine noises and stalling. We were told the previous owner could have neglected maintenance and we should do more frequent oil changes to solve the issue(oil sludge). This went on for months and the issue only got worse. By the time the issue was diagnosed(pistons), we were out of warranty and noone would help us. We later found out they covered some bearing issues, but not piston issues. We did everything recommended. They refuse to give me documents, i have asked many times for them(mcgrath hyundai of cedar rapids). This was 2 years ago. We entered a class action suit thinking we would get the help we deserved. We aren't getting help from the settlement and they are now saying we were out of warranty upon purchase of the vehicle. If we had the money to replace we would be getting full reimbursement, but we get nothing since we were financially unable. The people that did get the replacement engine are still having issues. I would like this engine to be recalled because i feel it is unsafe and not the driver/purchasers fault.
My vehicle had an ongoing water leak into the rear hatch area and under into the spare tire area under the carpet/removal floor. The leak could not be traced for months and came and went. Finally from another owners help we traced it to the panoramic sunroof. The outer plastic "frame" that helps support and fit the sunroof to the car cracked on the passenger side rear. It was approximately above the rear seat headrest or just behind it under the headliner. Dropping the headliner was necessary to find the crack and leak. If the car sat on a slight incline with the rear of the car at the lowest point about .5" of water would accumulate into the spare tire area over time. Granted the amount of water that leaked in depended on how much it rained and for how long. Also during this same time that the leak was ongoing, the sunroof would make excessive creaking and noise when driving over uneven pavement. I cant help but assume that the crack was either developing or already present while the noise was heard.the sunroof ended up being replaced under warranty.
Repeatedly white cloud smoke from tail pipe when suddenly accelerating from 20 to 40 miles/hr. It has happened several times now. Same problem has been encountered by other same model car owners as i found on internet. No one seems to know the causesome theories - oil or coolant burning from worn-out valve rings, or water condensation possibly from muffler leaking. Seems other hyundai models, such as accent, have also same problem. My car has done only 30k miles. Others had same problem at as low as 14k miles.
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
One day while driving on a smooth road, my steering wheel began shaking and has not stopped since. I've taken it to our mechanic who indicated my rotors are fine, which he said would normally cause shaking like that. The steering wheel makes a clinking sound with the slightest movement, and every time i brake i have to firmly hold the steering wheel due to the excessive shaking. Sometimes my eps sensor will go off. My mechanic has replaced some parts-specifically a "plastic coupler" in the steering wheel, but this shaking keeps happening. After researching forums online many people have reported similar/same issues, and link it to a plastic coupler in the vehicle, that hyundai says is not covered in any recalls.
Vehicle was stationary. Check engine light and lack of digital engine temperature gauge alerted driver to issue. Upon inspection at authorized hyundai service center, it was noted that rodents had gnawed through wiring and connectors located in the engine bay.per service center's recommendation, vehicle was considered unsafe to drive, and vehicle was left at service center pending appropriate repairs/replacements. It was noted that the wires that were chewed through were coated with soy-based materials instead of plastic which had been used in earlier models. Service center claims to see this issue at least a few times per month. Rodent deterrent tape is being purchased from honda (who already acknowledges this issue and is current the subject of a class action lawsuit). Tape will be wrapped around wires following repairs.
2015-key won't release from ignition, replaced under warranty. 2017-same issue, cant reproduce issue, not replaced by dealer. 2018-car won't start, battery replaced. 2019-car won't start. Dash lights come on, car clicking but won't start. Jumpstarted car. While driving after jumpstart the radio intermittently went off. Took in for repair and alternator and battery was replaced. Next day while driving, charging system light flashes on and off twice. 6 days later-car won't start after driving it 3 miles, clicking again and the engine, oil, and charging system light on. Had to walk home in the dark in a high crime city
The panoramic roof spontaneously exploded while driving at highway speed. On i-495, the beltway around dc, the roof shattered while driving at ~65 mph.it sounded like a startling shotgun blast followed by falling glass and loud wind noise. The only barrier between me, the driver, and large shards of broken glass was the inner roof shield, which was fortuitously closed, otherwise the shattered glass unexpectedly falling on my head/cutting me while driving would likely lead to my face, head and arms being cut, a highway collision or worse, a multi-car collision.
The vehicle has a strange sound when started up in the mornings. Almost like a ticking or small knocking sound. When i put my car in reverse to back up it starts to jerk like it's about to shut off. Also that same jerking occurs while driving on the highway. When my car is at the speed 35 it starts to jerk like it's about to shut off too. It happens all day long between the speeds 35 to 65. When i turn on the ac my car makes a weird squeaking nose and also jerks like it's about to give out again.i have had all my fluids check and everything is just fine. I dont feel safe in my car. It started happening the same day i got my vehicle from a small used car lot on march 4th 2019. It's been happening since the day i have left. I called the guy who sold my the car and he told me t was probably the gas being bad since the car sit so long on the lot. But it has never stopped.
I was driving the car in heavy traffic when the engine shutdown and was almost run into by several cars behind and beside the car. The cars engine has been determined to be seized up even though there was no warning of either low oil pressure or high engine temp or any engine malfunction indicator. The engine has been regularly maintained. This cold have been a disaster had the driver of the vehicle had not taken heroic measures to get the vehicle safely pulled over and stopped. This action could have caused the driver and possibly the other vehicles beside and behind serious injuries and or possibly a fatality. I have done some research on this issue and there are others that this has happened to. Something needs to be done about this issue before someone loses their life over it.
Possible crankshaft sensor failure. Car will not start properly or stalls after starting and shifting gears.happens every few months. New battery, spark plugs and tune up completed july 2018.no alternator/starter issues noted after mechanical testing.
Would not start. Many many many complaints to hyundai on line since 2011.hyundai is ignoring us.car will not start and everything else works...seem it may be a range switch.please have them recall. This is very common. Just called boulder co dealer he told me there is nothing they can or would do. Please help us.i have no clue if this many happen while moving....hyundai may wait until some of us are hurt...do not even want to drive it...please help us.
My car feel like it don't want to stop i think it's something going on with my brakes pads it feel like it's nothing under my feet like i can feel everything i don't know it's it's like a feeling you had to be in the car to feel it and it don't do it all the time that's what's scary it doesn't mean it's wet too
Bought used 3 weeks ago and it died while driving on incline, has been making a ticking noise, and sluggish, stereo turned off by itself.
Sun roof exploded while driving.
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.
Twice in a month a part my car refused to start both times the hyandai dealer kept the car over night and the next for a week. They could not find what wrong with it. Once the tow guy took it in and put the car in neutral to get it on tow truck....wouldn't you believe it it started right up. The batteries are good and all the electrical items come on .....but no start. My warrant will expire in a couple of hundred miles and i am worried i will not be covered the next time. And there will be a next time. I am a single parent with kids and feel very vulnerable about this.
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.
The airbag light came on and stayed on - took to dealer to find out why - told the air bag control module needed replaced (code b1620) at a whopping cost of $1400!plus the $110 it cost me to have it diagnosed.i have a warranty however this safety issue is not covered and i find that very upsetting as there are many complaints on air bags not going off because of this unit!the car is 5 years old and has less than 100,000 miles on it.this should not go bad and if it does hyundai should take care of it as it is a safety issue!how many people have to be seriously injured or worse die before hyundai gets involved? its a safety issue that should be covered - obviously profits out weigh safety with them.
For the sixth time my car wont start.it happens at random times and is very annoying. I am sick of the dealership saying that the car started right up for them or they cant find anything wrong.i have had the battery replaced and it has been fixed for a campaign. All my electric stuff turns on with no problem. Now i am currently missing a day of work that is going to be unpaid.
Vehicle keeps shutting off/ stalling. First dealer claimed it was a yaw rate sensor. Sensor was changed and did not solve issue. It was also experiencing fuel pump problems, gas would leak when filling and gas would not calculate mileage or update. Second dealer did not see a fuel pump problem. Now believes its a ecm problem. They did not want to cover it under warranty.

When driving over 40mph, car fishtails when going over bumps. Worsens in rain. Feels very unsteady and unsafe.
I was pulling into a parking spot and put the vehicle in park when all of a sudden the vehicle accelerated and crashed into the building.
I was parking my car in a parking lot of a store.i slowed down and applied the brakes.somehow the brakes failed and i hit another car.the collision stopped the car. I have only had the car for 1 year and feel very unsafe.
When i start up and drive my car, the airbag light is on and it reamins on. I have nothing on or against the seat. Not sure if this means airbags are malfunctioning?
Around 40,000 miles the car randomly would not start, leaving me stranded. I took the car in several times and dealership could not detect an issue. 2nd time i dropped off, a misfire was detected and ignition coils where replaced due to defected coils. I picked up my car and 11 days later the car wouldn't start up again. Its been in the shop for 3 weeks now. Last i heard they are replacing:the shifter assembly, transmission range switch, and brake switch. I have yet to hear if the parts came in and if this will fix the issue. I received a call on 11/3/2016 and now the engine needs to be replaced. There is a serious issue with the car failing to start and hyundai cant even figure it out, as of today they had my car for a total of 25 days and still no resolution. Something needs to be done and recalled. Ive contacted hyundai consumer affairs directly and have a case with them going on. I see several complaints of this same issue happening on this model, i hop this will somewhat help. Be consistent and don't take no for answer, i am still making car payments on something that is not working nor i have is unfair. Since the car is less than 60,000 miles this will be covered under warranty, it should of had to take me 3 times, calling a manger and going to consumer affairsfor them to finally take my issue serious.
While driving (roughly 55-60 mph) on hwy 50 to tahoe the panoramic sunroof on my 2013 hyundai elantra gt spontaneously exploded. There was a loud shotgun sound which was followed by the glass of the sunroof falling between the cloth cover into the car on us. There was no rocks or giant pinecones near by that could have struck the car or caused the damage.
While driving on the turnpike at 75 mph my car shut off completely.it jerked violently and then powered back on.this happened in the dark and i didn't have any lights either. This has happened a total of 4 times while driving at speeds of 70 or more. Prior to this the eps light came on i took it in dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong with the car. I haven't taken in to the dealer as it will need to be towed.it is not safe to drive.
Every time it rains . It hydroplanes real bad.on the highway. Anything over 40 mph. Back is trying to out run front of car. I put new tires on it all around still doesn't help.
Driver side seat belt will not fasten.air conditioner is not working, car blowing hot air.
Driving past on the freeway and his truck kept swerving into our lane. I honked for our safety to warn him and protect myself and my toddler in the car from getting hit. He then proceeded to follow me with his wife in the car making hand gestures of shooting me and continued to attempt to swerve his truck.
For the last week after sitting overnight my car will not start. I get in while its parked stationary on the street, turn the key, all the lights come on, i can hear the fuel pump kick on, (there is no click), and nothing happens. After i repeatedly turn the key it has been starting but i am afraid it will just not start at some point. Called the dealer where i purchased they car, they said to call the hyundai dealer. Called hyundai dealer, they said they have not heard anything about the problem and would have to replicate problem (there are complaints all over the internet about this problem) they said i would have to leave the car with them, with no chance of a loaner (i cannot afford to uber 26 miles a day). I told them once i get it started for the day, it usually starts right back up after being turned off. I took a video of the problem this morning. It had the same trouble starting this morning when cold, and then when i got to work, 13 miles away, i turned it off and attempted to start it, it did the same thing (thats why i obtained the video of the issue). I am going to have to borrow a family members car to drive while they diagnose this widely reported problem they have "never heard of". I owned a 2007 elantra since it was new and just sold it to buy this piece of garbage.. I never had one issue in 13 years of ownership. Hyundai needs to take accountability and recall this issue.
Moonroof exploded while driving on highway about 60-65 mph.
The key fob is not detected (intermittently). When this happens, i am left stranded. My car will not start. I have changed the battery in the fob when this occurs and i have tried to use my second key fob. The problem still is not aided. I have attempted to put the fob up to the start button, as some videos suggest. The problem still continues. Upon looking at forums and other places on the web where hyundai customers communicate, it is obvious that this is a common problem among hyundai customers. During this time, the car was stationary. This is a recurring issue. I even got the brake sensor replaced. The problem continues.
I have a 2013 hyundai elantra coupe which is experiencing issues with the mdps flexible coupling.there is a clicking noise when you turn the steering wheel. This is currently covered under the recall for hyundai elantra and sonata but not the elantracoupe 2 door model which i have. The elantra coupe model should be included in the recall.
Over the past two years the car will get shifted into drive and a blank space will go where the d is supposed to next to the speedometer. Upon stopping and trying to park, the gear shifter gets stuck in neutral and will not move to park. You must restart the car in neutral just to put it in park. This has happened at least three times in the past two years.
My car was gone because the brakes were not properly working the day of my accident.
Veh shuts off when drops below 1-0 rpms, usually when making turns or slowing down to make a stop. On few occasions it turned off while just driving down street. Never know when it will happen . It's just like someone turns the key off, not a stall . This has been happening every day since at least dec of 2018..it is now mar 2019. It is happening more & more frequently.
My daughter was driving home, city street, approximately 30 miles per hour, dry weather, 8 p.m., still daylight but indirect, approximately 70 degrees, heard a very loud explosion and was immediately showered with very sharp shards of glass.her infant daughter in the rear seat was not injured as her car seat cover protected her from the flying glass.my daughter received numerous small cuts from the glass.original owner of the car, original equipment. She quickly closed the interior sunroof cover to prevent the remainder of the glass from raining onto herself and the baby.pictures will be forthcoming when we can safely open the interior cover- we tried to do so to get a photo to submit but more glass shards came down on her, cutting her again
Takata recalll. My car does not crank, but the dash lights up as if it is going to crank.makes a clicking noise when trying to crank it.
My elantras brake lights are always on. My traction control light, eps light, abs light, and brake warning light are always on as well. I see where my vehicle is shown that the recalls have already been repaired on my car and i do not believe that is true or this would not be happening. My brakes lights constantly being on is a major problem because that can cause confusion on other drives and especially when i'm really using them to slow down. I'm always having to constantly replace the light bulbs on the left hand side of my vehicle as well which is odd. I'm very concerned and frustrated and wish i would receive assistance in fixing the problem. I have not been in any wrecks with my vehicle either. I also had someone check my car for any codes and vehicle speed sensor came up as well as brake switch.
Car spontaneously ignited while parked in driveway overnight.engine had been off for 6 1/2 hours,keys were not in vehiclecar is a total loss.heat from fire damaged another auto parked nearby.local fire department extinguished the blaze.
2013 hyundai elantra gt: no control of the car when you hit bumps or cracks in the road very hard to keep in the lane your driving in this is at all speeds on any city road or highway ten times worse on snow and wind. The car only works proper on a brand new road without wind, snow, ice, rain, cracks, or bumps and should only be sold as a race car not a public street driving car!i am scared for my life every time i have to drive this car!i have almost lost control thousands of times!hundreds of other people online have same issue with this car!
1. Engine noise (knocking sound, ticking sound)2. Air conditioning system failed too early and replaced it around 45,000 miles.3. Axle boot (left side) grease leaked too early (around 50,000 miles)4. Inner fender (right side) tore down. Replaced5. Two bubble tires (we changed the tire eight months ago!) replaced 6. Clicking sound on passenger side door when i changed the gear (50,200 miles)7. Engine mount replacement (35,570 miles)
We were driving to take one of my kids dr appointment.we stopped to get drinks for the road.we turned the car off came back to leave and it would not start fix the problem that it said and that didnt fix it.when you go to start it it wants to turn over but cant catch everything still works the way it should pistons move have power to everything,timing chain didnt jump the spark plugs still all get spark.
The paint started peeling and cracking. Honda extended the warranty to cover repairs to the hood, roof and trunk. The remainder of the car had just as much flaw in the clear coat and as a result the paint is splotchy and looks much older than it should. Honda refuses to cover this issue.
Exploding sunroof while driving on a clear, sunny, 70 degree day on a smooth interstate at 60 mph, right lane about to exit,scared me half to death. Saw absolutely nothing around me that could have hit me and not knowing what, quickly slowed to pull over on shoulder before my destined exit, where i determined on a highway of fast moving cars, that my forward piece sunroof was shattered.had car towed as i didn't want more flying glass on hwy.original owner for 25000 miles, garage kept and have taken care of minor recalls to date.my elantra gt model is close to velostar, both similar with full panoramic sunroofs, whichi understand has had roof recalls since. Elantras have not? dealer denied this being anything but a fluke and first examined for a rock or bullet, which was never found. I provided my insurance info.while it has since been verbally represented to me by dealer that manufacturer would do the right thing by me and waive the one month purportedly beyond 5 yr warranty and replace,car is still with dealer one week later as mechanic having difficulty with install.glass still in track rendering it immovable i've been told, still working on it although initially suggested a one day job after part came. I have no car 1 week later, no loaner allowed from dealer no info on completion. Dealers need to be educated on this defect they seem to deny, their mechanics trained and public notified of this concern. I also don't expect to purchase a car they don't know how to later fix.i was lucky my inner slide was closed as glass pieces floated on top.the effects on my nervous system remain.the main inner part of the glass disappeared on the highway;never saw where in my rear view.hope no one behind me suffered which i never did see. Chp was informed.help do the right thing by the public safety and recall these explosive monsters.
My sunroof exploded while driving. There were no other vehicles around me so there was no additional damage. It left my sunroof shattered with a large hole in the center.
Driving on the interstate when a loud explosive sound like a gunshot occurred. The car shook violently, i thought i had been hit, although nothing had been close to me. When i realized i was still driving on all four tires and not flipping end for end, though the wheel was still vibrating violently, i felt glass raining down on my head and there was extensive air noise. I looked up and almost all the entire panoramic sunroof was gone, and what was left was falling on my head. The road was smooth, there was no overpass near, and no cars were in my immediate vicinity.i pulled off the interstate and called the dealership.
I purchased the car in march, it was my first time buying a new car. Within the first couple of days after buying the car i noticed a few rattling and clanking noises. I believed this to be the cars moving parts, and didn't think much of it at the time, especially since i was used to driving used cars that sounded worse. After a few weeks, i noticed that the noises where noticeably louder, along with a loud knocking noise when i turned the steering wheel. The dealership that i purchased the car from (universal hyundai in orlando) was booked up so i made an appointment at orlando hyundai. Shortly after bringing my car in, and having the service department look at the car, i was told that the car was sold to me defective, that "the left and right inner tire rods and lock nuts were loose, threads were damaged, and the lock nuts were left loose from the factory". The service manager explained to me that this could have easily caused an accident, and that "one tire would've went one way and the other tire would've went the other way, causing your car to come to a sudden halt". This might have caused a serious accident, and knowing that i was driving that car on the highway, taking trips with my family and children, while the car was defective was very scary and upsetting. I was very excited about purchasing a new car, and hoped that i would not have to deal with these kinds of problems. I am extremely disappointed and want absolutely nothing to do with hyundai.i have the statement from the service department stating that the factory made a mistake and i plan on filing a complaint through hyundai and the national highway safety administration.
"takata recall" 2013 elantra will disperse a huge cloud of smoke when accelerating quickly making it impossible for drivers behind me to see. This happens intermittently but most often when pulling out onto a busy highway making it incredibly unsafe for people behind me. There is so much smoke it takes about 30 seconds to a minute to for me to see the cars behind me.there are numerous complaints on line about this and videos of it happening. Dealer told me it was because of an overflow of oil because i was getting oil changes outside the dealer. The deal changed my oil it continues to happen. Different dealers have different excuses of why this is happening. It's very dangerous for the drivers behind these vehicles and i am sure not good for the car.
I was driving in a parking lot when i heard a lot pop noise. I stopped the car and noticed my entire sunroof have several cracks/shattered by was still in place. I drove home and discovered that the glass had started to cave in. I took the car to the hyundai dealer the next week and explained what happened. The hyundai dealer took pictures and sent them to the manufacture. They replaced my sunroof after an investigation. I got my car back a week later.
The trunk's latch fails to open from the inside or outside. I tried using a long screwdriver to release the latch from the inside and it won't give in, even when i try opening from the outside at the same time. I discovered this problem when the car was on and in park. I also failed to open it with the car off and the car in park.
Over the past 11 month this car has had several incidences where it just will not start.on a few occasions it started after a couple of tries and a few occasions where it would not start when i needed it to but had no problem starting an hour or two later.this weekend was the biggest issue.i parked my car friday evening with no indication that there was an issue but on saturday the car would not start, later on saturday the car would not start, sunday the car would not start.hyundai roadside assistance sent someone out to jump my car but the car would not start.they sent out a tow truck to take the car to the dealership and he used the shift override to put the car in neutral and the car started right up once it was in neutral and it drove just fine.when this issue occurs the instrument panel lights up but when i turn the key to start the car, the panel goes out and there is nothing but silence from the engine.the last time it happened i took the car to the dealership but they said they could not duplicate the issue so there was nothing they could do because it is not causing any codes to go to the computer.
Air conditioning went out at 80,0000 miles.
The car intermittently won't start. Sometimes it starts on the second attempt. Sometimes on the fifth. So far, i haven't had to have it towed, but i never know when this is going to happen. I've taken it to the dealer twice and an independent car shop once, and they haven't been able to fix the problem. There are many complaints online about this happening; a recall is needed.
The esc light illuminates periodically and will cause the car to stall while driving straight at speeds as low as 25 mph. I have had to drive with the esc system off for safety reasons, because this would be disastrous on the freeway or highway. There are no obd2 codes that are in the system. I changed out the steering flex coupler, because it had disintegrated, and was making steering difficult.
Unable to move the car out of park.the electrical worked (radio, windows).i insert the key and turn but the car wont turn over (start). I have to use the shift lock release to start the car.the problem occurs intermittently and there is no pattern.
When attempting to start vehicle the "p" does not show in the information panel and the car will not start.vigorous shaking of the gear selector sometimes allows the "p" to illuminate and then the car will start.the vehicle is not in motion and has been parked in garage.this started in october and happens more and more frequently.
Noticeda oil based leak under vehicle ,have itinspectedthe leak is coming out of a defective air conditioner compressor ,emitting toxics freon and ac oilto the air and ground. This should be a recallfor safety and pollution.
My car intermittently won't start. It happened for the third time in 10-11 months just two days ago and is in the shop again. The shop hasn't been able to find anything wrong with it, but the lights have never been left on nor has a door been left ajar because it wouldn't allow me to set the alarm if this were the case and the alarm has been set correctly each time. Last time this happened, 6 months ago, they performed a test on the battery and it tested poor so they replaced it convinced that was it, though i told them i didn't think that was the issue with it. Now, one of my warranties has timed out, but it did the same thing again with a brand new battery. I did a search and someone pointed me to this website because others have had this issue with it. I am trying to figure out the best way to get the dealership to correctly identify what the issue isso it can be fixed once and for all. I have seen, in the search i did, that others mentioned things like the shift interlock, range switch, faulty rain sensor, shifter assembly, or shifter assembly cable. I am wondering if this is a common complaint with this car? the car was sitting in my garage and had been driven with no issues less than 24 hours before. It was so dead it wouldn't even unlock using the key fab. I used the key to unlock the door, no lights went on, it was completely dead. When the tow truck came, they hooked it up to the charger to be able to move it out of the garage onto the truck and within just a few seconds the car's lights turned on and the alarm started going off. He was able to start it and drive it onto the truck then with no issues. I have invoices from the past showing what tests were performed, but essentially they have tested the alternator and starter and said they tested for a parasitic draw, but so far the only actual fix they have done is to replace the battery 6 months ago.
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 number10785827107829481078217910777921107765961074964010748705107267131072230910721075107166821071379510712467107063331070444510695023106942571069128810680416
While driving my car it had sudden surge of acceleration continue while in neutraland park. Requiring to turn off engine. Excessive rpm caused the battery and alternator to malfunction. Causing lack of control of vehicle.
They is movement in the emergency brake and a thopping when you let up off the brake.flashers freeze when its cold.
Paint is peeling in sections on bumper and door handles. Have seen this on other elantras and online
First even though it is an eight year old car. It only has 28,540 miles on it. No accidents. For the past few weeks the esc light keeps coming on. I noticed there are many others with this manufacturer having the same problem, in fact there is a recall for this model ending in 2012. The dealer wants 850 to change replace the front left hub. I believe this is a manufacturing issue.thank youmichael turner
We believe that the mpg program which we sued for is still bad, and we need some recalls done on the car.
I am having a problem with unintentional acceleration on my 2013 hyundai elantra. I have been in 2 near accidents in this car since i bought it in july of 2018. My regular mechanic thought it was a car mat problem and removed the mat. This was after my car accelerated so high that i jumped the curb and landed in the yard. It didn't stop until i put it in park. I have witnesses who saw this happen. I drove the car for 2 more weeks without the car mat and it happened again. This time with my niece in the car. It did not stop until i put it in park. I took it to my local hyundai dealershipbut they do not take the car out driving enough to duplicate the problem and they want me to pick up the car. I am terrified to drive this car. I have researched this problem and find that it is a common problem with hyundai vehicles. When is somebody going to do something about this? the first time it happened i was pulling into my parking spot in my apartment building. The second time i was driving and tried to stop at a red light when it happened. Hyundai doesn't give a [xxx]. They think that after driving for over 40 years, i am suddenly getting my pedals mixed up!!!!! tell that to [xxx] who had the same problem. Please help!!!!!!!!!information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Defective clock spring
I bought my 2013 hyundai elantra used with over $60,000 miles already driven. I received a recall letter for my car and took it to the hyundai dealer who was supposed to fix a safety issue with the brake system. When i got my car back after the 'free repair' i noticed a clicking sound coming from the left wheel or passenger side wheel. I told the dealer who said i don't have extended maintenance coverage on it unless i purchase one which i was quoted another $300 plus a month on to cover repairs. I am paying $238.22 a month on time since june 2017 and insurance. Do i have to spend more than my budget for a car sold to me with the promise it had no problems? i don't think it's right that i have taken over someone's used car that obviously i am expected to pay for double because of the issues the car had and was not disclosed to me when i bought it. The clicking sound on the wheel is loud when i am driving slowly.
If i hit any bump in the road while driving my vehicle fishtails causing the vehicle to steer into the next lane. I do no know what is causing the vehicle to fishtail. I believe that one day this can cause an accident and put myself and others at risk of hitting each other.
2013 hyundai elantraon 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.
I have experienced loss of control of this vehicle several times, including today. As i have faithfully maintained my car, i have come to the conclusion the design of the car is the issue.specifically, when i attempt to apply the brakes, the car will not brake properly and is very hard to control. Today, i experienced the car hydroplane and thank goodness no other car was in front of me or on the side because it took me at least two minutes before i could gain control again. This occured when i made a right turn while driving about 25mph and no puddles of water were present.early april, i had a similar incident where i had to pump the brakes several times, although my brakes were replaced a few weeks prior.back in december 2019, i had a similar incident on the highway i-95 while driving home. I have it documented through aaa. My tire blew and the car failed to stop. I took it to my dealer and advised what happened and they insisted my tires and brakes were fine.i did some research online today and found i am not the only customer experiencing this issue. I saw several customers stating they received a recall notice, however, i have not received one. I am very concerned for my safety to the point i no longer want to drive this vehicle.
Pulling into parking spot with foot on brake - car accelerated on its own-crashed into tree-airbags deployed .hit another parked car. Car took control.
I2/2/2016when parking hyundai elantra 2013 it suddenly barreled forward completely out of control over the cement markerand 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
I have an 8 year old 2013 hyundai elantra gt. For the past month i have had several incidences where the accelerator to the car does not work. This has occurred getting on the freeway, going up hills, attempting to "go" when stopped at a red light, etc. The accelerator virtually does not work even though my foot is pressed on the gas pedal to the floor board. There are not safety warnings on the dashboard to warn me of this malfunction. The check engine light has come on and off but not consistent with these episodes. I have taken the car to the hyundai dealer for service and they have been unable to find the problem telling me the codes are all ok and that the technician drove the car several miles and could not replicate the problem. I have found several blogs and posts with the exact same problem i have been having. I cannot drive my car for fear of it not accelerating as i get onto the freeway with the cars honking at me as i have had to manually move my car out of oncoming traffic. I told the dealer when i took it in today not to give it back until they tell me what the problem is. I can't even trade it in knowing it is unsafe to drive due to the "mysterious" accelerator problem. The dealer states the problem could be due to many reasons but it will be cost prohibitive to attempt to just go through a list in an attempt to find the problem. I know there is no recall on this issue but it is a serious safety hazard. I don't know what to do.
Pulling into the parking space at work less than 5mph car accelerated and hit the parking garage wall. Reported to my car insurance company, car was taken to dealership after body shop. Dealership couldn't find anything on diagnostic report.
2013 hyundai elantra had an accident due to unintended acceleration. *ta
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 5 mph, the vehicle accelerated on its own. The contact depressed the brake pedal but the brakes did not respond. The contact applied the emergency brake in order to come to a stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 400.
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.
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 contact stated that the vehicle was emitting an odor of burning oil. While driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled and the oil and battery indicators illuminated.

Certain steering wheel controls -- including the volume controls and bluetooth phone controls -- stopped working. A few months later, more steering wheel controls -- such as other audio and media controls -- stopped working.a year later, the ability to change the steering tension, from comfort to normal to sport, stopped working.within the past year, the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel have stopped working, and the red airbag light is on continuously. Although hyundai has issued a recall for certain 2011-2014 elantra vehicles, and my vehicle meets that year range and model, the dealership will not cover replacing the airbag clock spring assembly because my vin does not match their criteria. As such, the dealership has quoted $480 to fix my vehicle's airbag clock spring assembly.if my vehicle experiences the same airbag safety issues that covered vehicles have experienced and which prompted the recall, my vehicle also should be covered under the extended clock spring warranty.
My car has 63,300 miles on it. I bought it used in december 2017, six months and my mechanic is telling me it is the engine and it needs to be replaced.when i bought the car it had a ticking sound, very low.i thought once it idled and i start driving it would go away.i was driving on the freeway recently and my car would not go over 60 mph. The rpm would not go past 2.5.when i exited the freeway, and stopped at the light i had whit smoke coming from my car.when i use my air, i can't accelerate over 40 mph.everyday it's driven it, get's worse.
Vehicle sudden acceleration after pressing brakes and trying to park:as i was turning into a parking space (less than 5 mph), in front of a grocery store to park the car, the vehicle suddenly accelerated, hit a lighting pole and completely damaged the front of the car.pressing the brakes even harder could not stop the car.the car finally came to a halt as it hit the pole (thankfully no one was injured).the air bag did not come on, my head and neck hit the brakes. Thankfully, i was not injured and no one else was either.brakes completely failed, the manufacturer was made aware of it but could not find anything defective in the car.this is very scary.
2013 hyundai elantra had an accident due to unintended acceleration.was pulling onto my parking spot, when the car just accelerated by itself, causing me to crash into my building.
I was driving the car in heavy traffic when the engine shutdown and was almost run into by several cars behind and beside the car. The cars engine has been determined to be seized up even though there was no warning of either low oil pressure or high engine temp or any engine malfunction indicator. The engine has been regularly maintained. This cold have been a disaster had the driver of the vehicle had not taken heroic measures to get the vehicle safely pulled over and stopped. This action could have caused the driver and possibly the other vehicles beside and behind serious injuries and or possibly a fatality. I have done some research on this issue and there are others that this has happened to. Something needs to be done about this issue before someone loses their life over it.
The car was purchased late 12/2012.between this date and late 11/2013 there have been 9 instances of unintended acceleration.1.backing out of parking lot at store 1/1/2013car accelerated and jumped forward. 2.in 2/2013, entering our homes garage, while traveling about 2mph, the car suddenly accelerated and jumped forward.3.in 5/2013, while backing out of garage when the car accelerated and jumped forward. 4.around 9/2013, we were moving slowly,'less than 10 mpg- and turning into a parking spot when the car accelerated and jumped forward. 5.around 10/6/2013 we were pulling into our sons driveway.we were moving slowly when the car accelerated and jumped forward.the vehicle stopped its forward movement when it hit a decorative stone column. Repairs were approx. $1750 to repair.6.later in 10/2013, we were slowing down as we approached a stop sign the car unintentionally accelerated and jumped forward. 7.in 11/2013, we experienced a similar event as in #6 while approaching a stop sign.8.later in 11/2013, we were backing out of garage when the car unintentionally accelerated and jumped forward. 9.again in 11/2013 we were accelerating as we were entering the interstate when the car accelerated very rapidly even after removing the driver'sfoot from the gas pedal.the dealership cannot replicate the problem. They have evaluated with engineers; driven with the main driver to insure it is being driven correctly.
While driving on beltway doing 55 mph the vehicle won'taccelerate and also makes sounds when pushing on gas the rpm will be moving back and front even when car not moving. Car smells like something is burning. The car will start to slow down and shut it self off.all lights will turn on then i shut car off completely then turn back on and it starts up like nothing happened this has happened multiple times. Then when sitting still at a light the car shut off.
My wife was trying to park her car when the car suddenly accelerated without her touching the gas or the brake. Luckily, she was able to stop by slamming on the brakes. I've heard recent cases of people not being able to stop when this happens.
I bought a used 2013 hyundai elantra with 29,802 miles on it on october 6, 2014.by february 2015 i started hearing a tapping noise from under the hood and a noise when i pressed the gas pedal which stopped when i took my foot off the gas pedal.i took it to a hyundai dealership in february 2015 and it was determined i needed my engine replaced.hyundai agreed to replace it under factory warranty.i had 32,500 i believe miles on it. The dealership had multiple cars sitting on their lot which needed their engines replaced.while i was waiting for a rental car business to come pick me up at the hyundai dealership to get me a rental car to drive while my car was waiting to be fixed, i spoke to a couple who came in to drop off their rental car.their 2012 hyundai elantra needed an engine replacement as well--at 23,000 miles.the dealership told me that these cars had engine problems more often in the northeast due to the more severe weather in the winter.i so regret ever buying my first ever hyundai vehicle!

The clock spring contact assembly for the driver's air bag supplemental restraint system (srs) has become damaged through usage over time. The driver's air bag electrical circuit experiences a high resistance condition, causing the driver's air bag to not deploy. The clock spring develops high resistance, in the event of a crash, the drivers air bag will not deploy and will not be able to properly protect the driver, increasing the risk of injuries. Hyundai has issued a recall/tsb for the 2013 hyundai elantra sedan, but not the hatchback which utilizes the exact same part. The repair cost is almost $500 at the dealer and because the repair involves removing the airbag and removing the steering wheel it poses a safety risk for shade tree mechanics. The attached tsb should also apply to the elantra hatchback as well,

The car feels like it can't get power shakes slow to accelerate for half a block then acceleration. It's happened 5 times today. Other days it sounds like it's not running smoothly and then does ok after awhile. This happened with car in park, backing up, going forward, 2 different stops at lightsand 2 more stops til i got home.
Driver was making a left turn into a parking space on 2nd floor of parking garage. As the left turn was made, the elantra gt suddenly accelerated by itself into a wall, hitting a pole and the wall. Hyundai is investigating. Dealer is useless. Right now unsure how to proceed. Exterior can be fixed, but what about the problem?
I was pulling into a parking space on a sunday afternoon at a business park. It was mid day and dry. I was slowing down and half way into the space when the car suddenly accelerated. It seemed like the car went out of my control. The car was stopped by a 3' shrub or else i would have crashed into the building. In the process, a car parked beside me was also damaged.
Air bag light came on and buttons on steering wheel no longer work. Many other elantra owners have made complaints about this but nothing has been done. They want me to pay to fix a safety issue with the air bags and it happened before i hit 60000 but couldn't get in until later so they used that to not fix it on there on dime.

Was about 2 tenths of a mile from a stop sign.as i was beginning to make my approach, the car accelerated, lurched forward and sped across a four lane highway before i could react. The car was t-boned on the passengers side.the impact straightened my vehicles trajectory from 90 degrees to about 30 to 45 degrees. I then impacted a guardrail with a somewhat nearly head-on angle. After i went through the guardrail i then impacted a tree head-on which brought the vehicle to a stop. My passenger's side curtain air bags deployed but the front (dash) air bags did not.my passenger received a broken collar bone, fractured rib, scalp lacerations (stitches), a concussion and multiple bruises from head to toe.

A lot of acceleration. Had to tow car, what happens when car is fixed and have to drive it again?
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.
When going over any road defects or abnormalities, while driving the car, i have become aware of how the suspension is on this vehicle makes noises, fishtails, and seems to bottom out with any speed bump. Rear wheels seem to lose traction when hitting any type of small hole, crack, or drop in road flatness. Suspension also sways awkwardly with certain turns. Only getting more and more noticeable as the car continues to age.
I am not sure if this is related to takata recall.but the electronics controlling the air bag and cruise control are not functioning!the poor design of the steering covers squeeze the wires that are bent into the connector causing these circuits not to function.at this point, the red light for the air-bag is on all the time which means the it will not deploy causing serious damage.this steering cover design is common on all elantra models so we suspect the problem could impact significant number of cars.i managed to test the problem, but pulling the cover off and testing the wires.when the cover is pull away from the body of the steering, the circuit for the cruise control works!hyundai should re-locate the plug where these wires are connected further lower to avoid these wires getting squeezed. And for the current models, a shorter connector could remedy this problem by preventing the wires from getting squeezed.

I was getting off the freeway on the off ramo and came to a red light. When the light changed green my car died and i was in left turn lane. I couldn't move the car forward. I didn't have ac and the car would not start at all.
Suddenly my car developed a new issue of sudden acceleration while stopped/idle. While my foot is on gas, the car will suddenly jerk forward/rpm increase. However, so far while my foot is on the brake, i haven't moved as far as i can tell but fearful it might happen while driving or it will drive forward even with foot on brake.
On engine start up, the air bag warning light was activated indicating failure with either the airbag or supplement restraint system.dealer diagnostics indicated the "clockspring" part had failed.this part has failed often enough that hyundai has extended warranty on "some models of 2011-2014" elantra, but not the model of my car even though it is the same part that is on all 2011-2014 elantra models.should it fail while the vehicle is moving, then the driver's airbag may not deploy during an accident or the supplement restraint system may not work.the "clockspring" part connects to the speed control system.
My brake lights do not work, i've had them replaced 3 times. My rpms do not work when i push the gas, the vehicle won't go more than 20 mph, when changing my gears, it doesn't work, and when i am at a stop light or just sitting in a parking lot with the vehicle running it turns off on it's own. When i try to start the vehicle it won't turn most the time.

When turning a left hand curve it is hard to see around the ape hanger because it is to wide. Had a near miss a couple of times in my subdivision because it is hard to see around.
Wiper fluid pressure and direction is not adequate to clear windshield during winter driving conditions.the majority of the fluid never contacts the wipers before running off to the side. Inver grove hyundai dealership looked at this problem on two occasions.on the first visit, the technician who drove the car agreed there was a problem.they shimmied the nozzles and told me to bring it back if not improved.i brought it back again because i saw no improvement and the problem was getting worse with the cold weather.i told them i felt it was a safety concern.the response on the second visit was, after flushing the system, the wiper fluid was performing similar to other elantras and, since there are no adjustments to make, there was nothing further they could do.they would not say if they agreed there was a problem or not.they referred me to corporate hyundai. Their rep looked at the video referenced below and gave me the same response as the dealership.the dismissed my concerns and gave me no recourse.here is the link to the video that shows the wiper fluid under-shooting the wiper blades, taken feb 7 after my second visit to the dealership. The driver side is particularly bad on this occasion but both are effected and performance seems to vary depending on air temperature and speed:http://youtu.be/k4_xj-vylcc.
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 itis concerning to know this could happen to other drivers.
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!!
I heard an explosion and started feeling something falling down on me as i was driving. I looked up to see the sunroof part of my panoramic roof had shattered and shards of glass were falling down on me. This was in the morning, nothing above me or around me, no trucks.. Just a random break. I called the dealership and was told to contact my insurance. I looked online and see there have been many issues with the sunroofs doing the same thing on different models. The dealership is ordering the replacement right now.
Driving down highway with light rain.temperature approx 34 degrees. While at speed limit (65mph) the moon-roof exploded!not simply shattered but exploded. (inside 'sun' cover was open at the time) there were no other cars on the road within 1/2 mile of me. I did not just pass under a bridge and no construction on the roadway at the time of the explosion. Almost lost control of car but managed to maintain until i could pull over on side of roadway.suffered minor cuts to scalp, face and neck (nothing that required hospitalization).significant shards of glass throughout the interior of the car and some minor damage to paint surface from shards of glass hitting the outside of the car; rear roof of car and rear deck lid of trunk. Lodged complain with corporate hyundai (have case number), also went to local hyundai dealership gave them case number and had them take photos. Dealership initial reaction is that glass is not covered. They suspect the dropping temperature may have had something to do with it.i have escalated my claim with hyundai corporate; asking under the circumstances that this is obviously a manufacture defect, that they cover all costs of repair. Awaiting their response.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. While driving approximately 55 mph, the passenger side visor suddenly exploded. There were no injuries. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000.
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.
When the air conditioner is on and it is humid outside, the side windows fog up on the outside. There is no way to clear up the fog on the outside of the windows. In previous cars, there was a brush in the window well and all you had to do was lower the window and raise it and the fog would be removed.i have contacted hyundai three times and they refer me to my localdealer. Each time the dealer acknowledges the problem and says there is no solution that they can provide.please help me convince hyundai to put a brush in the window well.
I was driving down the interstate at about 65-70 mph when suddenly i heard a loud explosive noise like a gunshot going off inside the car. The car shook violently and i thought i had been hit, though there was not another car in my immediate vicinity. I was nowhere near an overpass. When i realized i was still going down the interstate on all 4 tires and not flipping end for end and had not been hit, it dawned on me that air was rushing into the car and glass was raining down on my head. I looked up and almost the entire sun roof was gone. It has literally exploded. I took the car immediately to the dealer. I was informed that this could happen again because of a defect in the design. How scary is that? i have been dealing with glass in the car every since.
I started my car, pushed the wipe blade once so that it would get the dew off windshield.wiper blades got stuck, pushed again, it came down a bit, pushed and pushed, it continued to get stuck. Took my car to the dealer 4 times now and problem still exist.they put a new switch in on 9/28/12. Drove my car that night, it was raining, wipers started doing the same thing again. Took it back on 10/1/12. On that date driving to work, it stuck again. By the time i got to dealer, it was working properly.on 10/2/12, the same thing happened. Dealer cannot find out why this is happening and states they cannot do anything unless they see what the wipers are doing as if they haven't already seen it before.the day i took it there, the wipers started doing all kind of crazy things so they know exactly what the wipers were already doing.
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.
While driving the vehicle anywhere at 35 mph or more with the sunroof tilted or open, massive amounts of air come through drivers side window to the inside of car.this makes it impossible to hear emergency sirens or your stereo.this is a safety hazard!!
As i was driving home in rain the wipers stoppedand resumed about 10 seconds later. After 5 minutes the wipers again stopped and resumed about 10 seconds later.

This is concerning the same vehicle as in my previous complaint: 10507443.while driving into work on 4/8/13, i put the front and rear defoggers on. Later when i went to switch them off, they wouldn't. I thought maybe there was a timer. I waited five minutes and then was able to switch off the rear defogger. I still was unable to switch off the front. I pushed all the bottoms to switch the air position and even turned the entire a/c-heating system off -the defogger stuck "on" and would not shut off until i shut everything down. I have reported both this and the previous incident to the dealer i bought the car from, and am hoping to schedule maintenance within the week.
Moonroof exploded while driving on highway about 60-65 mph.
Two issues: (1) i purchased the vehicle on may 26, 2013. I found out that the gov. Had issued a recall for the elantra models built from 11-12-2010 through 3-5-2013. My car was assembled on feb, 22, 2013. I was never told about this at time of purchase and have never received any notification from hyundai motor america. The dealers are not responsive. (2) the "auto-dimming rearview mirror with homelink & compass" rarely functions. Real problem is that mirror image and headlights are same intensity/ clarity whether unit is turned on or off--very dangerous at night. The dealer i purchased car from and another dealer refused to investigate.
I had just gotten onto the freeway when i noticed things flying off the back of my car.i wasn't sure what it was so i opened my sunroof slider a little and saw that my sunroof had shattered.i did not go under an underpass so i cannot be sure what happened.all i know is it cost me $500 deductible to get it fixed.my car is only 3 months old, so that doesn't seem right. I have had 4 cars with sunroofs and never had anything like this happen.please advise me as to my options. I'm afraid to drive it now!
While driving on a ca highway in the slow lane at approx. 50mph, in the morning time (60-65f degrees), i heard a sudden boom noise.it sounded like a gun shot.i was not near any overpass, nor were any vehicles in close proximity.i did not see any debris, projectiles or rocks hit the car.i pulled over on the highway, after swerving a few lanes, thinking i had blown a tire.to my surprise, the elantra gt panoramic sunroof had exploded.there were breaks along three of the four edges of the rear standing portion of the panoramic sunroof, not the moving portion of the sunroof.the breaks were near the edges only, and not in the center at all.there were no projectile holes anywhere, and the breaks were straight in nature.this seems to be an issue with hyundai panoramic sunroofs, as i know there was a 2012 recall for this issue on another model.i have also read about several 2013 hyundai panoramic sunroof explosion incidents on this nhtsa website. This is a definite safety hazard and needs to be addressed.i am fortunate there were no vehicles around me, as the loud boom caused me to swerve within two lanes.had the sunroof cover been open, the glass would have penetrated the interior of the vehicle, and the tempered glass could have caused severe lacerations, with the possibility of death, due to the speeds traveled.this issue needs to be addressed and fixed before it results in the loss of life.on a brighter note, since the vehicle only had 3k miles on it and was two months old, the dealer gave us a loaner and has agreed to fix the window at no cost; however, this doesn't remove the apprehension i will have while driving the vehicle once it is fixed, thinking it may happen again.updated 12/5/2014

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.

I heard an explosion and started feeling something falling down on me as i was driving. I looked up to see the sunroof part of my panoramic roof had shattered and shards of glass were falling down on me. This was in the morning, nothing above me or around me, no trucks.. Just a random break. I called the dealership and was told to contact my insurance. I looked online and see there have been many issues with the sunroofs doing the same thing on different models. The dealership is ordering the replacement right now.
At approx. 7:20 am on july 24, 2014 the sunroof on my 2013 hyundai elantra gt with panoramic roof exploded while traveling on rte 495 in ma.it sounded like a shotgun blast in the car.all windows were up and the sunroof was closed.the shade was open.i estimate 75% of the glass blew up and out of the vehicle.some remained in the frame of the sunroof and some fell down into the car, a small amount upon my head and down my back.there was no vehicle in front of or next to me in the three lane stretch of highway.the road conditions were perfect, the highway has been re-paved in the last few months.the outside temp. Was in the mid 70's, no rain, no heavy winds, not too warm or too cold.there was a commercial van behind that experience a spray of tempered safety glass.as i pulled over they passed me with looks of astonishment on their faces.they were checking to see if i was ok and concern for my safety.they did not stop after seeing i was not injured.after checking everything out i continued to drive the car to work.i called the dealership and they arranged to get me a loaner car and to pick up the vehicle for inspection and repair.after seeing the vehicle i was told it was not a warranty issue (really?) and that the hyundai representative said there was no apparent indication if the sunroof was struck or not struck with anything.but that "glass just doesn't break by itself" so it will not be covered under warranty.i called hyundai customer affairs and they gave me a case number and told me they would look into it.they were also surprised a hyundai engineer was available to inspect the sunroof so quickly since it typically takes several days to schedule one to go see the car in person. 5 days later they told me they spoke to someone at the dealership and that they were told the same thing that the hyundai representative had reported.

Driving along at 40mph there was a loud explosion.the panoramic sunroof exploded.stress crack along its entire perimeter, shattering glass, and creating a convex crack in the middle of the glass. This is the static-non-movable part of the sunroof and was closed at the time.glass fragments entered interior of vehicle.i have brought this to the attention of local dealership and hyundai consumer affairs.i have also noted there is a recall with same issue of the hyundai veloster and others have the same experience with the elantra as documented on your website.this has been documented when both vehicles described have been moving or parked.obviously the glass is of fault or there is a flaw in the design putting the glass under stress.i do not feel safe driving the vehicle and expect hyundai to offer an engineered solution as i am of the same discipline.i have photographs documenting the incident.dealership is prepared to replace glass.however, i worry of future incidents that could create an accident resulting in a vehicle crash or personal injury from flying glass.
I was driving down the interstate at about 68mph all of a sudden i heard a large boom. Pulled over to see what happened and notice that my moonroof/sunroof had shattered into a million pieces. The intriguing part was that i was alone with no cars around when the incident happened. The weather was cold, but not extreme the temperature was around 24 degrees.

Sun roof (moon roof) exploded.while traveling at 65 mph, with the sun roof closed and the internal ceiling shade closed, an extremely loud pop came from the roof of the car.very loud!then, the sound of wind and broken glass streaming over the car and onto the cars traveling behind us.we pulled over and found the sun roof shattered from edge to edge.we made our way to the nearest hyundai dealer and persuaded them to vacuum out the glass.they told us that this was due to a rock hitting the top and would not be covered by the warranty.we made our way home with no top but talked to many different hyundai representatives who all claimed that they'd never heard of such a thing.our subsequent research has suggested otherwise.this is a major concern for the safety of those driving and occupying these cars and for the other drivers on the road as well.
2013 hyundai elantra. Consumer writes in regards to windshield wiper design failure *tgwthe consumer stated the wiper blade on the passenger side was very short and the bottom end of the wiper blade left a semi-circular water streak right in front of the person sitting in the passenger seat on every wipe of the blade. Also, there was a spot at the bottom of the windshields where the passenger wiper blade left a short inverted "v" type spot that the driver's wiper blade did not clean which would freeze intoin the winter.the consumer stated the steering was too sensitive. The consumer was informed the vehicle has electric steering which may be related to the condition. The steering was so sensitive, that he had to constantly move the wheel left and right just to stay out of the oncoming traffic lane and stay in his lane of traffic. Several times, while driving, in a slight crossing wind with various groups of trees, the level of steering sensitivity forced him to run off the edge of the road to avoid entering the oncoming traffic lane. Also, on a few occasions, the consumer had to hit the brakes harder than normal, but not hard enough to engage the abs. With the electric assisted steering, it was impossible to feel if the vehicle was centered in his lane prior to using the brakes.
The windshield washer does not work in below 24 degrees. I have had to stop while driving many times to clean windshield by hand ,putting my self and other drivers in great danger.i have used multiple brands off washer fluids including de-icerswith out success. I have been driving for 40 years and have had many vehicles and never had this problem.2013 elantra gt (not on drop down list)
The car came with continental tires and both the front tires sidewall have bubbles.seems to be tire defect.hyundai - brad benson hyundai - nj refused to cover the tires.huyndai refused to replace the tires.continental tires paid 50 % of the cost to replace both the front tires.i still paid 160/- for 2 front tires.there seems to be a defect in the tires or the elantra 2013 4 dr ltd design.i would like to be compensated.i am scared to drive the car now.maybe all 4 tires needs to be replaced.
I previously had reported that my brand new 2013 elantra gt had suffered two tire bubbles on two different oe nexen tires within weeks of each other.one of those tires blew out after i hit a pothole.after i made that report, one of the brand new nexen tires that i had just installed also developed a bubble after hitting a pothole.the low profile tire upgrade, which was included as part of the "style package"on my model car appears to be dangerous.i have now changed the 17" wheels and tires to 16" wheels and tires in order to have a thicker tire on my car and less chance for damage and injury.this is a huge problem with elantras with 17" wheel "upgrades."please do something.this wheel/tire size on this model needs to be recalled!
While driving on the highway or any roadway for that matter, if i hit any metal pieces that have been installed on the roadway, or if i go over any bumps on the road, my car seems to almost fishtail. You can briefly feel the back of it get thrown from side to side. This has made me extremely nervous, especially since we have such harsh winters. Can anything be done by hyundai to correct this problem before someone gets hurt? i've read multiple complaints online for the same problem so i know it's not just my car!
Every few months one of the tires on our 2013 elantra limited fails while driving. Our car currently has just 11,000 miles and is less than 1 year old and since we bought the car we have had 2 tires blow holes in the sidewall (months apart from each other) and a third developed a large blister. My dealer referred me to hyundai cust svc, hyundai customer service told me that they do not cover the tires at all and it is not their problem.continental tire customer service told me that they manufactured the tire specifically for hyundai and to their specifications and if there is an issue with design then i would have to pursue it through hyundai because they do not warrant against "road hazards." i do not feel that this is a safe vehicle for my wife to continue to drive unless this situation is addressed.currently we have had 2 tires blow out while driving leaving my wife stranded and without a spare (vehicle does not come with a spare!) the car then needs to be towed.oem tire brand is continental contiprocontact radial - 215/45r17 87h.
I was traveling on interstate when the tire pressure sensor indicate there was a problem with the tire.i pulled over and front passenger tire was extremely low.i used the air pump and filled tire.i exited the interstate and drove to the nearest tire repair shop. All 4 tires were below 32 psi.a digital reading indicatedthe tires range from 13 to 19 psi.i had the tires filled.on 12-17-2012 same problem.tire sensor indicatedthere was a problem.i drove to mechanic and had tires check.all four tires were inspected and no damage or punctures were founded.all four tires were filled with air. On 12-29-12, tire pressure sensor came on. I drove to mechanic all four tire were check.all four tires were low (range of 12 to 21 psi).tires were filled to 32 psi. On 1-8-2013, sensor came on again. Tire were check and all four tires were low (tire ranged from 15 to 22). All four tires were filled to 32 psi. On 1-21-13, tire pressure sensor light came on again. All four tires check and needed air.digital reading indicated the tire range from 9 to 15 psi.tires were filled back to 32 psi.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that while traveling at unknown speeds, she hit a pot hole and experienced a blow out. Upon inspection, it was found that the vehicle was not equipped with a spare tire and the equipment provided was not sufficient to repair the blow out. The manufacturer was contacted about the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 9,000.
I was at the local mall and i left to go to a nearby kohls, not even a mile away. I noticed that the lowtire indicator had come on and parked the car in kohls parking lot. A couple noticed me struggling with the equipped air pump and came to help. The tire wouldn't hold air and we tried a can of fix-a-flat. It didn't help either and we noticed that there was a small hole in the tire which had apparently blown out. I stopped at a nearby walmart and had to purchase a tire to get home. My husband and i stopped at the dealership early the next morning to speak to our salesman who immediately ushered us to the service manager who said " no" no problems with tires that we know sorry. The whole conversation and their customer service took about 2 minutes. I truly believe that there was an issue with the tire but they were reluctant to even discuss it. The car has less than 1200 miles. I guess it was easier to be friendly when selling than servicing.
On september 9, 2014, my daughter was driving our 2013 hyundai elantra (purchased january 2014) to school on a surface street.she stopped at a stop light and upon accelerating heard a loud noise and pulled over immediately into a parking space.she noticed that she had a flat tire.she called me immediately andi showed up to change the tire.i noticed a large hole in the oem hankook optimo tire and i took it to the dealer (hyundai inland empire) for repair.the hole was too big to repair and i was told that i needed to replace the tire.two hours later the service advisor called me and stated that i needed to replace the rim because it was cracked.the cost of replacement was $399 for the rim and $153.67 for the tire. I could not believe that the rim was cracked.there was no significant mechanism to crack the rim.this was a simple flat tire on a high traffic, 30 - 40 mph street, at 7:30 in the morning.both of my daughters were in the car and both confirm that they heard a loud noise and pulled over immediately.there was no tire sidewall damage and no evidence of rim damage.i have owned 8 cars in my lifetime and have had several flat tires, and i have never had a cracked rim.this is an 8 month old car with low miles and there is no other reason for a cracked $399 rim, other than manufacture defect.i have researched the internet and have found 12 other reported cases of cracked rims in the 2013 elantra.as a parent, who purchased this car for his daughter based on the safety rating, i am very concerned about the size of the tire blow-out and the cracked rim.i have contacted hyundai, both customer care and the dealer, and they have refused to cover the cost of the rim or admit any defect or fault.a nine month old rim should not crack with a simple flat tire.the fact that 12 other cases have been reported in the last 9 months is substantial.
I have bought this car brand new and have had to put it in the shop over three times this time i heard a thumping sound the sound started to get loud and when i geared to the right it would be even worse i called the dealership and they refused to check this issuessaying that don't accept walk in when i asked to speak to management than they told me to bring it in i was not contacted until 1/20 saying it was my wheel bearings on mycar with no other information i have taken my car in within the first 3 months for jerking and they also would not explain the reason the car was doing this.

I purchased a new 2013 elantra gt in may of this year. A week after taking it home the tire pressure light went off while driving. We pulled over & immediately blue link sent an alert telling me a malfunction in my tpms was found & to take the car to service asap. Took it to the dealership & was told that is was a simple learning failure. Reset code & was sent on my way. The next week the car did the same thing with the tpms. Back to the dealer it went.had it scanned again. Was told nothing was wrong & they cleared the codes thru blue link. I was then told to just ignore it & it should be ok. Mostly it is just electronically interference. I parked the car & used my husbands car for a while.i start using my car & going down 295 it happened again. Pulled over & blue link sent the alert again.called the dealership & made an appointment. I was told that they had a certified hyundai professional technician that was going to look my car over.after 4 hrs of waiting i was given a paper asking me not to use electronics in the car as this was causing my tpms issue. They paper was dated march 2007. Really? at that point i was frustrated so i called hyundai corp office. After an hr conversation i was told to take it to another dealership for service. So that friday off the car went to another dealership. At the dealership i was told that the car needed an alignment bad & that my tires were over inflated by 8lbs each. So 3 hrs & a lot of patience i was told the car was all set.20 mins after leaving the dealership the tpms light goes off again with the blue link alert to service the car asap. The following day back to the dealership again. This trip i was told i needed a sensor changed. 3 hrs later i leave & half way home tpms again. That's 5 times no repair. Now they can't provide me a loaner but want to keep the car overnight. Car has been parked for 2 weeks waiting.
My daughter has a hyundai elantra 2013 with 6700 miles, she was driving at 60mph on a freeway and her passenger front tire blew out.she lost control and ran into the concrete barrier on the freeway. She has frame and body damage to her front end. Thank god she is ok except for her collar bone area being bruised from her seat belt. She did not hit anything before the blow out.she could have been seriously hurt.no tire with only 6700miles should have a blow out like this one did.the car has nexen cp671 tires.i am waiting on nexen tire company to call me back. Hyundai really has not offered any help.
My son 2013 hyundai elantrawould not stop correctly while he was driving it causing it to turn in a semi circle and ultimately crashing into a shoulder on a freeway to stop. After which the wheels broke off on the right side of it.

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
I purchased this vehicle back in january of 2019 & when i purchased it the steering wheel made a clicking sound. I mentioned it to the car dealer & was assured it was nothing. After having my oil changed i was told my steering column needed to be replaced. This is quite disheartening as i have had the car for just one year & a half at this point. I was told to research for recalls in relation to this particular issues as it has been reported for other vehicles of the same make, model & year. I am afraid my car steering will go out while driving.
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.
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.
I bought my 2013 hyundai elantra used with over $60,000 miles already driven. I received a recall letter for my car and took it to the hyundai dealer who was supposed to fix a safety issue with the brake system. When i got my car back after the 'free repair' i noticed a clicking sound coming from the left wheel or passenger side wheel. I told the dealer who said i don't have extended maintenance coverage on it unless i purchase one which i was quoted another $300 plus a month on to cover repairs. I am paying $238.22 a month on time since june 2017 and insurance. Do i have to spend more than my budget for a car sold to me with the promise it had no problems? i don't think it's right that i have taken over someone's used car that obviously i am expected to pay for double because of the issues the car had and was not disclosed to me when i bought it. The clicking sound on the wheel is loud when i am driving slowly.
The esc indicator/traction control activated while i was driving 50 mph.i lost complete control of the vehicle,the car headed straight for a cement guardrail on a bridge.the car decelerated, i was unable to steer and the tires screeched on the ground.i was able to push the esc off button and recover control of the car, avoiding the crash.i knew about the off button only because we have had this problem since june and hyundai was unable to fix it because it did not duplicate for them.previously we were driving at a very slow rate of speed, this time it almost killed my daughter and me!my car has been with hyundai auto-nation, columbus, ga since august 24, 2016i called on august 25 but the car vin # was not asked of me, the complaint ticket number is 1010763the first time the esc activated my husband was driving. The esc turned on, while he was accelerating onto an on-ramp back in june 2016. We turned the car off, researched it on the side of the road, found the "off" button and brought to hyundai the next day and they were unable to fix the problem! a week later the esc turned on in a parking lot while i was driving, hit the esc off button and the car behaved until aug 24th. I called hyundai to report, but since it didn't occur again, they said do not bring it in.on august 24th, the esc came on while i was in a school zone, i hit the off button, i took the off button off, to see if it would activate again so i could bring it into hyundai (they said it had to be malfunctioning at the time of visit to be fixed)it malfunctioned! almost killing my myself and mydaughter!if i hadn't known about the esc off button, i would definitely have crashed!
Second side wall tire blow out on hyundai elantra was driving on a pretty typical road (bumps etc) but no huge chuck holes and tire sidewall gave out.
I purchased this car in july 2014. A.2013 hyundai elantra and after 3 weeks the front passenger tire went out after barely hitting curb around by september 2014, the drivers tire was deflating replaced. On 2/10/2015 the tire in rear went out while driving on highway, the dealership says it could because a nail got into the tire and caused the problem.it just seems a bit unusual for 3 tires in less than a year of owning this vehicle, which was new purchased july 2014.2013 hyundai elantra.
2013 hyundai elantra.consumer writes in regards to problems with vehicle tires.the consumer stated snow compacted in the wheel wells and in the tire rims, which resulted in the vehicle vibrating, as if the tires were not balanced. The dealer recommended replacing the tires and rims with 15 inch wheels and rims at a cost of $800. The consumer has since traded the vehicle.
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
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.
I was driving on the highway when all of a sudden my low pressure tire light came on. As i was slowing down, the passenger rear tire suddenly blew and i began fishtailing until i could control the vehicle and come to a complete stop on the side of the road. The vehicle came with hankook optimo tires, and they are only 10 months old with about 22000 miles on them, well under the warranty. Had to get a flatbed tow and purchase a brand new tire from local dealership.
Purchased new 2013 from dealer.mileage at pick up - 212.i picked the car up, approximately 2 wks after signing paperwork, because my mom was hospitalized.i drove the car for a couple of wks - to work, the hospital. I'm 48 yrs old, i drive cautiously.it's my first new car in 17 years. I'm parking far from all cars + being very careful with the car.the car has been having some problems so i gave it a really close inspection + discovered the front tire had a small bubble, the size of a quarter, in the outer wall.at that point mileage was under 700 miles.i returned to the dealer, salesman implied they would fix it - not the case.the dealer said not our product and sent me to a tire company who they said deals w/ nexen warranty paperwork - not the case.i called nexen on june 12th (mileage was approximately 726 miles) + reported it.i gave them tons of information + told them the name of the dealership manager i've been dealing with on the multiple car issues.they said they would call the dealership + see if they could get them to cooperate with them.they also said they were going to see about replacing the tire on a 1 time basis.to date i have heard nothing.the tires are written about extensively online - many people have trouble with this tire on this car.some think it could be the combination of the tire size 17" + the car, speculating the car might not be able to handle this size.it's a huge safety issue.bubbles equal blow outs, endangering the lives of those in the car + those driving or walking in close proximity. Hyundai is also misrepresenting the car and so are the sales people at mirak.i told them i did not want low profile tires.they told me they were not low profile tires.and they told me to look at the sticker.the sticker does not say low profile tires.but the tire pros say - they absolutely are low profile tires.
Owned car since new. Had to replace all 4 tires four times. Each time with a different brand. Each time with only 5000 to 15000 miles the tires will get sidewall bubbles.
Noticed a golf ball sized bulge on left front tire side wall. Tire brand are hankook optimo 215/45 r17.
After i bought the car new in 2012, a couple weeks later i began noticing and still to this day, when i hit any size of bump in the road, the back tires feel like they are coming off the ground and the rear of the car fishtails. This happens from about 45 mph on up.on the highway, i hold on for dear life when i see a bump, and let off the gas.(not sure how much that helps, but it's just my instinct). If there is a row of bumps/holes, i have trouble keeping control of the car.also i have to replace two tires about 24,000 miles, as they get uneven wear from a fixed? rear axle that is designed to not be aligned.not sure if that is related to the car fishtailing.i bought the car with intention of passing down to my daughter, but would never let an inexperienced driver behind the wheel of this car for fear of them dying.
Car purchased new (limited trim) in december 2012.during winter 2013 (dec/jan timefrime), i hit a significant pothole ona local highway on-ramp blowing out the front passenger-side tire.after being towed to a local repair shop (no spare tire supplied), tire was replaced with a new identical tire.service station called asking for authorization to replace d/s front tire also since it had a side-wall bubble.i declined permission and when i picked up the car brought it to advantage hyundai for the second tire.on july 11, 2014, i found another sidewall bubble on the d/s front tire and had the same dealer again sell me a new tire. Today 10 days later, another front d/s tire sidewall bubble. No abnormal potholes encountered.including the blowout, this is four tire failures in 19 months and 25,000 miles.tires are 17" low profiles and rubber is from hankook.situation is unsettling.this is a dangerous situation for anyone driving in this vehicle.
When driving on the freeway approx 65 mph and you hit a pothole or uneven road the car sways back and forth like a boat i have new tires and just got it aligned thinking it would help but it still sways and feels like it will jump into the other lane. I had noticed it before but didn't think too much until my son drove it and mentioned something. I have viewed the other complaints about this so i know i am not alone thinking this is unsafe.
While driving my 2013 hyundai elantra down the highway @ approx 50mph, the left rear tire failed in the center of the tread. No warning. The car is driven by my teenage daughter for school and work. She hit nothing in the road. Hasn't hit anything with the tire. Dealership says it was due to a puncture. I refuse to believe that. If you have wire(s) showing, seems to me that would be a tire failure and not a simple puncture. This is not acceptable with me. Hankook tire warranty in new jersey said to have the dealership send them the tire and they would inspect it to make a determination of failure or puncture. I have as much faith in them as i do the dealership at this point.
I own a 2013 hyundai elantra limited. The standard tires that came with the car upon purchase were continental tires conti pro size 215/45/17. Three tires have developed bulges on the sidewall. I replaced the front right tire once through my hyundai dealership 6 months ago - mileage was around 5,000 miles. The dealership blamed the failure on potholes/impact and i had the tire replaced at my own expense. The front right tire has again developed a bulge in addition to the back right tire also developing a bulge. I have not had any abnormal impact with curbs or potholes to cause such damage and believe there is a systemic problem with the engineering of the car or with the manufacturing of the tires.i shared my concerns with the hyundai customer care national call-in and a case report was created.the local dealership has also been made aware of the problems and the tire manufacturer as well. The car has 15,000 miles and should not have this this type of tire failure.i'm concerned for my safety - the tires could blow at high speeds, especially if there is another problem that i am not aware of. Neither the car manufacturer, the local dealership or the tire company were willing to provide assistance.
Was making a left turn at a intersection and t boned a pick up truck, extensive damage to front end of the elantra front end,[ air bags did not deploy on the elantra ] even though the whole front end was tore off. Driver door damaged,windshield cracked both front fenders damaged, plus unknown if transmission and or transaxle has been damaged until the car can be repaired. Hyundai has stop any repairs until they send a hyundaiinvestigator to look at the car, which they say could take up to 6 to 8 weeks to check it.
Driving on the pa. Turnpike at 65 mph, hit a small pot hole and the back left tire blew. I needed to be towed because the car air pump did not work. This was the second flat in one month. The first was due to hitting a curb at 2mph which punctured the side wall of the tire which had to be replaced.
Tires that came factory on the vehicle did not last as long as the tire was rated from the manufactures website.they are nearly bald, due to highway driving, and the manufacture and car company will not honor the tread life warranty.they said that there is not an owner warranty because i did not purchase the tires.this is confusing to me, only because i bought a $24,000 car! continental was contacted by me to discuss this, and i've taken my vehicle to the dealer.neither is willing to accept the fact that the tires did not last like they had advertised.next vehicle i purchase i plan on removing anything with the name continental on it.
Flat tire. Brand new from the dealer only 22000 miles on the tire. Not past warranty. No work was ever done on the tire. Found out that it was purchased brand new with a plug in it.
No spare tire , no jack or tire iron.
I bought my 2013 elantra on 7/17/12 from orlando hyundai. On 8/4/12 while driving on i-95, the tpms (tire pressure monitoring system) light began to flash. I immediately pulled into the nearest tire shop and had the tire pressure checked on all 4 tires and they were all fine. The mechanic suggested i have my dealership take a look and possibly have them reset the sensors. Upon my arrival home, i took my car to the dealership and they were unable to provide a reason for the sensors going off. The issue persisted for several months causing me to spend countless hours at the dealership. They even went as far as to keep my car for over a week, drive it several miles and replace the entire system including all four tire sensors. Despite this, the tpms light still flashes. They have attempted to convince me that usb and aux cords in my car (used with my phone) are causing a signal interference with the sensors. In my opinion that is a bogus excuse. The car should not have the features if they are unable to coexist. The dealership has also attempted to reassure me that nothing is wrong with the car and it is safe to drive even while the tpms light is flashing. I do not believe this either as i constantly have a safety feature alerting me to believe otherwise. I have told the dealership and hyundai headquarters that i believe this car is a lemon on several occasions. They informed me that a car is only a lemon after having the same issue fixed 3 times. Thus far i have had my tpms fixed twice. I do not feel safe at all driving this car with dysfunctional features.
I had just owned my brand new 2013 hyundai elantra limited for 6 months when i hit a small pothole while crossing a bridge and the passenger side front tire blew out and the rim got dented as well. I have owned it now for 1.5 years and have had 2 blown tires and 3 dented rims in total, all from minor potholes that had never given me any type of issue with any of my previous vehicles. I'm 39, never speed and a careful driver, i had never had this issue before. Dealership says it's because of bad new york city roads and that they are not aware of any problems but i think that the 17 inch rim and low profile tires that the elantra limited comes with are not really compatible with the cars stiff suspension. I don't know what i'll do now, i might have to spend over 1,000. Dollars to buy new 16 inch rims and larger profile tires, i don't think this is fair after paying top dollar for a new vehicle.
I was driving on i278 west bound in brooklyn, ny, and my driver side front tire went over a pot hole. It wasn't a deep pot hole since the impact was not severe, so i continue driving. After a minute of driving, the tire pressure indicator came on. That's when i pull over to the side of the highway, and called road side assistance.this has happened four times since i purchased the car. Three out of the 4 cases happened on the driver front wheel. They either had bubble on the sidewall, or completely blew out. There is definitely a problem with the tire design, or the material used. It is becoming extremely unsafe to drive the vehicle due to the frequency of tire blow out.
At around 38000 miles i noticed that i was hearing a lot of noise out of the rearend of the vehicle. Thinking it was a bad wheel bearing i took it to a dealer and they said my rear tires were bald and needed replaced. I took a look at the rear tires after leaving the dealership and noticed it was a very uneven and irregular tire wear pattern so i took it back to the dealership and they told me it was because i needed to rotate my tires more often (tires were rotated every 3000 miles when oil was changed) and that was why the irregular wear on only the 2 rear tires. The wear appeared as wavy spots where the tire had no tread then right next to that it had plenty of tread left. So i gave in bought all 4 brand new tires and after 1500 miles i went ahead and rotated the tires noticing that the rear tires had already began to wear in the exact same pattern so i took it back to the dealership and they told me it was a bad set of tires. Needless to say i took it to a local tire shop and had them check the alignment on the back tires even though it is a solid rear axle. The alignment check showed that the rear wheels do not track straight and that is what is causing the rear tires to wear very fast. I took this information back to the dealership which refused to check the alignment on the rear wheels because it is a solid axle vehicle and there is no adjustment for it. They continued to blame the tires and rotation schedule for the problem. After doing more research on the web this is a known problems with the hyundai elantras and the dealerships refuse to fix it even knowing that problem with this particular vehicle. If a tire ends up blowing out due to the rear axle not being mounted correctly i could see that being a big problem.
I have a 2013 elantra gt and have had numerous issues with wheels and tires.in the winter of 2013-14, i had this car for only 4 month and started having issues with bubbles in sidewalls of the tires.the original tires were kumho 245/45r17 tires and bubbled or went flat after normal driving or upon encountering a bump or pothole.the tires were replaced with falken 245/45r17 tires in february of 2014.in november of 2014, another bubble appeared and a second on december 4, 2014.it is a concerning condition of unsafety and unreliability when a vehicles tires are so prone to damage.i was able to purchase the road hazard warranty with the replacement tires, but have learned that this will no longer be available and the 17" tires will be considered 'low profile' going forward and replacements will not be covered and will need to be paid out of pocket.not only is this a scary situation, it is expensive and time consuming.please look into this complaint and the many others that have been submitted for the same issue.
Purchased 2013 elantra less than a year ago with hankook tires. Driver side tire blew out on 6/15/14 at 11k miles. Thank god it happened going around a corner at slower speed than highway driving. Another tire on the rear was also blistered and ready to pop - we had to change before driving to avoid bending another rim should tire blow. Anyway, to make a long story short, neither dealer or tire manufacturer would take responsibility for this defect and cover under it their warranty. Out of pocket expenses currently at $1600. Had to purchase 4 good year tires (including rim, alignment, strut, etc) since no one is safe driving with tires that came with vehicle (18 yr old daughter is primary driver).
* first occurrence: hit pot hole on highway, driver side front tire blows and rim bent. Replaced rim/tire at dealership.*second occurrence:mid-year 2014 slow leak in front passenger tire, dealership sealed/plugged.*third occurrence june 2015 hit small dip in parking lot.two days later tire sensor light came on. Added air.two days later, tire sensor light came on again. I added air to this tire 5 times in 8 days.also noticed bulge in front passenger tire.took to dealership.both tires need replaced and car has under 40,000 miles.the tires are hankook omni 60,000 mile tire.tires are 215/45r17. I have never had the issue with tires that i am having with this car which is 2 years and 9 months old.after reading several reviews for this size tire on this car at http://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t35968_ds499866, many people have had same/similar problems with wheels/tires.the danger seems to be from a 17 inch rim on this car when it should be a 15 or 16 inch rim.i am concerned about the safety of driving this car after all the reviews and complaints i have read with this size wheel on this car.to change out the wheel/rim and add 4 new tires i am looking at well over $1200 in cost.i should still be driving with the original tires on this car and still have sufficient tread, not dealing with blowouts, bent wheels, leaking tires, and bulging tires.it is not the tire but the tire/wheel ratio that causes this road hazard with the wheels/tires and this is how the car is manufactured from hyundai!many people have contacted them and complained about this issue but hyundai says it is the tire manufacturer.it doesn't matter what brand of tire you put on this car the wheel/tire ratio is what causes the danger and problems.hyundai needs to be held accountable for the manufacturing of the vehicle in this way.
My hyundai came with kumho tires. Just a little over a month old and one of the tires is defective. Dealer and hyundai say it is not their problem, call the manufacturer. Tire has a ping pong ball size buldge. Manufacturer is rude and says sorry but we don't care. Sears says that all the other manufacturers they deal with (goodyear, michelin, etc) would cover but they always have problems with this company. They have many unhappy costumers but don't seem to care. I suggest hyundai think about the fact that a supplier with this attitude also reflects badly on them.
Wanted to correct one part of my previous complaint with info on an online discussion about elantras developing bubbles and blowouts on a regular basis.the correct forum website ishttp://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t35968_ds499866?actionmessages=your+answer+has+been+posted.
2013 hyundai elantra. Consumer writes in regards to spontaneous wheel fracture. *ld
Brake lights keep intermittent working and burning out. Steering wheel makes clicking noise. Keep having to replace tires in front. Even after alignment, car still pulls.
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.
I purchased the car in march, it was my first time buying a new car. Within the first couple of days after buying the car i noticed a few rattling and clanking noises. I believed this to be the cars moving parts, and didn't think much of it at the time, especially since i was used to driving used cars that sounded worse. After a few weeks, i noticed that the noises where noticeably louder, along with a loud knocking noise when i turned the steering wheel. The dealership that i purchased the car from (universal hyundai in orlando) was booked up so i made an appointment at orlando hyundai. Shortly after bringing my car in, and having the service department look at the car, i was told that the car was sold to me defective, that "the left and right inner tire rods and lock nuts were loose, threads were damaged, and the lock nuts were left loose from the factory". The service manager explained to me that this could have easily caused an accident, and that "one tire would've went one way and the other tire would've went the other way, causing your car to come to a sudden halt". This might have caused a serious accident, and knowing that i was driving that car on the highway, taking trips with my family and children, while the car was defective was very scary and upsetting. I was very excited about purchasing a new car, and hoped that i would not have to deal with these kinds of problems. I am extremely disappointed and want absolutely nothing to do with hyundai.i have the statement from the service department stating that the factory made a mistake and i plan on filing a complaint through hyundai and the national highway safety administration.
The contact owns a 2013 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that the vehicle did not have a spare tire or jack. The vehicle had an air compressor to fill the tire in the event that it would become flat. The contact was concerned because the inflation device would be of no assistance in the event that the tire was bent. There were no repairs made to the vehicle and the manufacturer had not been contacted. The failure mileage was unknown, but the current mileage was 13,000.
Tmps lamp illuminates intermittently, had tire pressures checked and they are/were in compliance with manufacturers standards, the tmps continues to come on and off randomly so it is difficult to know for sure if their is a problem with a tire.
The tires that came with my elantra ((hankook h426 215/45 17) had to be replaced in less than 18 months as the side wall was bulging dangerously.my son who has a 2010 elantra with hankook tires had a blow-out while driving.i think these hankook tires are dangerously unreliable.thank you.
Tires are damage and manufacturer nor hyundai wants to replace them even though is a safety issue
The accident happened while i was driving on the freeway with light traffic traveling around 60 mph. It first began when i felt an unbalance of the front right tire. The car suddenly veered to the right regardless of my efforts to maintain control. My car fishtailed for a moments and almost caused me to crash into another car. I had no control of the car when my car crashed into the wall that lined the right side of the freeway.after visually inspecting the wheel, it appeared that the front right rim was cut in a half vertically and all around.it was cut in a near-perfect straight line - similar to what a opened can looks like. The tire remained fully intact without any damage. The body shop mechanics told us that they have never seen the rim cut like that before and said the only explanation would be a defect in the rim. We have pictures and can provide them upon request.the body shop mechanics and insurance adjusters are all clueless to how and why this occurred. Please open an investigation to help us determine the cause. The total estimate of the costs have estimated to be around $14000.
Premature wear on inside edge of rear tires. Wheel alignment indicates that the rear wheels are at the high end of the specification but there is no adjustment. On wet or icy road conditions the car lurches from side to side losing traction shifting side to side. Tires wear out after approximately 30k multiple brands have been tried. Dealer did multiple wheel alignments and eventually provided two new tires but never fixed the problem. I know of others who have bought the same year of vehicle and had the same issue. The lurking/shifting when driving on wet or icy road is very dangerous. The tire replacement issue is costly as well. Rear tires are chambered from factory causing this issue and no adjustment capabilities. This should be a factory recall and the rear axle should be replaced to properly align the rear wheels. My first set of factory tires where evenly on the front they were measured at 8/32 tread when the rear tires where unevenly from 8/32 on the outside to 0/32 on the inside two inches into the tire tread. Fought with deal fir months and months they finally won and wore me out. I just stop going to them and replace my tires as they wear out. Very costly and dangerous for others who don't know about the lurking/shifting to drive this car. There are no after market shim kits to correct this issue either. This should be a safety recall for this vehicle as the vehicle wheel alignment is not tracking properly with no adjustment.
Our elantra began making grinding noises when we pressed on the brake pedal that sounded like the brakes or rotor were defective. When the shop inspected the car, they said they could not duplicate the noise, and told us the car was in perfect shape. Over the next few months, the noise became louder when braking, plus it began making a whump-whump-whump noise that appeared to be directly related to the speed and rotation of the wheels. The sound would increase when we steered the car to the right, and would decrease when we steered left. The whumps were barely audible at 5 mph, but were overly loud at 40 mph. I thought it was plastic trim fluttering in the wind, but could not find anything loose.when we took it to the shop again, i think in august, i told them the car was not drivable that they needed to find out what was causing the whump noises and the grinding noises when we applied the brakes. This time they found the problem was caused by the bolt holding the left wheel coming unscrewed. They tightened the bolt under warranty repair service, and the car has not made the whump noise or had grinding brakes since the repair.i doubt this problem was limited to one car in the fleet, and i believe hyundai should have issued an advisory to their shop managers to be watching for this problem so that it would have been found and corrected the first time that we took the car in.
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.
Since buying this car my traction control light has been coming on. It is happening more and more frequent.it is causing my car to slow down without me using the brakes by as much as 10-15 miles per hour. At this time i'm not sure if my break lights are staying on.
The night i bought this car i drove home and there was a snow dusting on the road.the car seemed to float all over the road.whenever i hit a small bump, pot hole, or a seam in the road (no matter how small) the car jerks out of control and swerves dangerously across the road. I thought i had to get used to the steering, but it has been a constant issue.i am very nervous for winter to lose control of the car and get into a serious accident.
Vehicle fishtails and sways when hitting a bump or a seam in the road.this happens every time.yesterday evening i hit a seam in the road on a curve (dry pavement) and it threw me into the other lane.i'm grateful there was not a car in the other lane it would have caused an accident.dealership states there is no recall or known issue but this is a very dangerous characteristic of this vehicle and it's going to cause great injury to an owner or passenger.in researching this problem there are many other 2013 elantra owners experiencing this same issue.
On friday, may 26 2017, at 7am while driving on curve, the driver side front rim broke apart and the tire flew completely off.the car crashed to the pavement where the wheel had been. The road had recently been resurfaced so there were no pot holes or hazards. Hyundai was notified and they said to bring it in admitting this was a defective rim. After having the vehicle towed to sacramento hyundai, we were told, 'it's an insurance issue'. The insurance said, 'it's a manufacturer issue'. Then we contacted safe-guard regarding the platinum protection program purchased with the vehicle, and were told that it's not covered because it's a defect and they don't cover defects.
I have a brand new hyundai elantra gt with 17" wheels.it has about 3200 miles on it.i know that i recently hit a pothole on the highway, but nothing that i thought was very serious.i discovered a bubble on my left front tire shortly thereafter and ordered a brand new nexen 215/45r17, which is the brand the car came with.when the shop installed the tire, they discovered that my other front tire also had a smaller bubble on it.i am now getting that replaced as well.there are discussion forums online detailing case after case of elantras with 17" wheels having bubbles, blow-outs on the highways etc.here's one for example: http://www.cars.com/hyundai/elantra-gt/2013/consumer-reviewsguessa few people will have to die before anything is done but hoping that isn't true.
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-lbwas, 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
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.
2013 hyundai elantra.consumer writes in regards to problems with vehicle tires.the consumer stated snow compacted in the wheel wells and in the tire rims, which resulted in the vehicle vibrating, as if the tires were not balanced. The dealer recommended replacing the tires and rims with 15 inch wheels and rims at a cost of $800. The consumer has since traded the vehicle.
