SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
08-26-16 WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT A PUBLIC PARK WHILE DOING LESS THAN 5 MILES PER HOUR, I EXPERIENCED RAPID UNINTENDED ACCELERATION, PLOWED THROUGH A FENCE, SIDESWIPED A TREE, WENT OFF A GRASSY MEDIAN BACK UP ONTO A GRASSY MEDIAN AND THEN BOUNCED OFF OF THAT BEFORE THE CAR FINALLY CAME TO REST. MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK AND I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. IT IS A MIRACLE THAT I AM NOT DEAD AS THE PARK IS ON A VERY BUSY 4 LANE ROAD AND IS USUALLY FULL OF CHILDREN.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
AFTER LESS THAN 2 YEARS, THE CAR BATTERY DIES AND DISABLES THE CONTROL OF THIS PARTICULAR CAR AND YEAR. MANY CUSTOMERS, ACCORDING TO REVIEWS, SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. SHOULD THE BATTERY FALTER WHEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, SERIOUS ACCIDENTS COULD RESULT. MY VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT A SLOW PACE IN THE PARKING LOT WHEN THE BATTERY DIED. I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. I WAS NOT EXPECTING THE BATTERY TO DIE AS IT IS ONLY ABOUT 18 MONTHS OLD. I DO NOT HAVE A PICTURE. THE CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I'VE HAD TROUBLE STARTING THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES. ALL LIGHTS WILL WORK FINE, RADIO, POWER LOCKS AND WINDOWS ALL WORK, THE CAR JUST DOESNT START. I HAD IT BROUGHT BACK TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE GUYS IT STARTED UP NO PROBLEM FOR THEM AND THEY COULDNT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I'VE NOTICED THAT WHEN IT HAPPENS, TAKING THE CAR OUT OF PARK, AND THEN SHIFTING BACK TO PARK SEEMS TO TRIGGER SOMETHING AND THEN THE CAR WILL START. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THE CAR WILL NOT TURN ON. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN TEST AND IS FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR. THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND STATIONARY, WHEN THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION ALL LIGHTS TURN ON BUT THE CAR DOES NOT TURN ON. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO MULTIPLE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES IN RURAL AREAS.

ALTHOUGH THE IMPACT WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO BREAK RIBS; HOWEVER, THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY . THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. I PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND STOPPED WHEN I SAW A VEHICLE HEADING MY WAY.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I HAVE A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WHICH FOR SOME REASON WHEN GOING INTO A TURN ON A ROAD OR STREET THAT HAS SOME BUMPS ON IT THE CAR WHEN HITTING THE BUMPS CHATTERS SIDEWAYS. I HAD FILED A COMPLAINT ONCE BEFORE ON THE SAME PROBLEM NOW TO ADD TO THE PROBLEM IS THE FACT THAT JUST YESTERDAY ON 25 APRIL WHILE DRIVING ON A 2 LANE ROAD DOING ABOUT 50 MPH THERE WERE BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND I AS I NAVIGATED THE TURN MY CAR SLID SIDEWAYS APPROXIMATELY 2 FEET AND HIT THE SHOULDER WHICH BLEW MY REAR TIRE. I JUST CALLED THE SERVICE STATION AND IT WILL BE APPROXIMATELY $161 TO REPLACE THE TIRE. THE SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS. I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT SERIOUSLY OR KILLED, THE CALL WAS VERY HARD TO CONTROL AFTER HITTING THE SHOULDER AND BLEW OUT THE TIRE

SUSPENSION
WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR A STREET AND ENCOUNTER A CURVE IN THE ROAD, WITH SOME BUMPS IN THE ROAD, THE CAR JUST CHATTERS SIDEWAYS. SOMETIMES ENOUGH TO ALMOST GO INTO THE OTHER LANE. WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP STRAIGHT ON IT JUST FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS BOTTOMING OUT. IN MY OPINION I REALLY FEEL THAT THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE AND IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IF YOU HIT MORE THAN ONE BUMP THE CAR LITERALLY MOVES FROM 2 TO 3 FEET SIDEWAYS. I HAVE READ ON HYUNDAI FORUMS OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS AND IT SEEMS HYUNDAI DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PROBLEM.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED A PRE-OWNED 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT ON APRIL 22, 2016. WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE CAR DEALER I HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE, IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. I LOOKED UP AND NOTICED THAT THE PANORAMIC SUN ROOF HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED AND I QUICKLY EXITED AT THE NEAREST HIGH WAY EXIT. I WAS TRAVELING 60 M.P.H ON A STRAIGHT AWAY ON HIGHWAY 80 NEAR VACAVILLE, CA. THE SUNROOF GLASS WAS CLOSED BUT THE INTERIOR SCREEN WAS OPEN. IT HAD BEEN RAINING EARLIER THAT DAY BUT IT WAS CLEAR AND SUNNY AT THE TIME THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. I HAD ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 3 HOURS IN MY POSSESSION WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF OF OUR 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. WE WERE TRAVELING ON I-75N, ABOUT 25 MILES N OF BRADENTON, FL AT 65 - 70 MPH IN SUNNY CONDITIONS, TEMPERATURE AROUND 70, ABOUT 10:30 A.M. THERE WERE NO CARS/TRUCKS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF US AND WE WERE NOT NEAR AN OVERPASS. ALL WINDOWS WERE ROLLED UP AND THE AUTOMATIC HVAC SYSTEM WAS ON. WE HEARD A LOUD BOOM SOMEWHAT LIKE A SHOTGUN BLAST IN THE EAR. WE LOOKED AROUND AND SAW THE ENTIRE FRONT SECTION OF THE SUNROOF SHATTERED. GLASS RAINED IN THE CAR - FRONT SEAT, BACK SEAT. THERE WERE LARGE CHUNKS OF GLASS, SMALL CHUNKS, AND EVEN A PIECE OF METAL SUNROOF ASSEMBLY IN THE CAR. WE WERE FRIGHTENED BUT MANAGED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. WE PULLED OFF AT A REST STOP TO ASSESS THE PROBLEM. WE ARE NOW AFRAID OF THE CAR - EVEN IF REPAIRED, WHAT NEXT? ANOTHER EXPLOSION? OTHER SAFETY PROBLEMS? AT THE TIME OF THE EXPLOSION, THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 3500 MILES ON IT. WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE OCTOBER 28, 2015 HAVING PURCHASED IT AS A NEW CAR FROM HARRISONBURG HYUNDAI IN VIRGINIA.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR HAD LESS THAN 10,000 MILES WHEN A BUBBLE IN THE TIRE WALL FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOTICED DURING A PROFESIONAL INSPECTION (9/23/2015). I WAS ADVISED TO REPLACE THE TIRE IMMEDIATELY WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP.I DID SO. THEN DURING A STATE INSPECTION IN JANUARY OF 2016 I RECEIVED A CALL THAT THE TIRE WALL ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE HAD A BUBBLE. MY CAR HAD 17,800 MILES ON IT AT THIS POINT.THIS TIRE WAS ALSO REPLACED AND THE OWNER OF THE INSPECTION SHOP TOLD ME THAT HE HAD SERVICED OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. AT THIS POINT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING MY CAR FOR FEAR THAT A TIRE WILL BLOW OUT. NEITHER OF THE BUBBLES WERE NOTICEABLE TO ME. THEY ARE NOT EASILY FOUND UNLESS SOMEONE IS WORKING ON THE CAR. I BELIEVE THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEM AND FEEL THAT A RECALL IS WARRANTED DUE TO DANGER FROM TIRES BLOWING OUT WHILE DRIVING.
