SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHILE I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD, WEATHER IT BE AT 10MPH OR 55MPH, MY EPS LIGHT AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT WILL TURN ON AND MY CAR WILL STOP. IT WILL NOT TURN OFF UNTIL MY CAR IS STOPPED, TURNED OFF. AND TURNED BACK ON AGAIN. SINCE THE POWER STEERING IS LOST I CAN NOT JUST TURN TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE TO PRAY THAT NO ONE WILL BE COMING UP BEHIND ME AND HIT ME CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. BEFORE THAT WILL HAPPEN FOR TWO WEEKS MY ALARM WILL GO OFF AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY AND NIGHT. OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL MY CARS EPS AND E BRAKE LIGHTS TURN ON WHILE I AM DRIVING, BUT THEN THE CYCLE WILL START ALL OVER AGAIN. THE MOST FREQUENT TIEM THIS HAPPENED WAS WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY 99W IN DUNDEE OREGON, I WAS GOING ABOUT 45MPH AND MY CARS EPS AND E BREAK .LIGHT TURNED ON AND I HAD TO TURN IT OFF AND THEN RESTART IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT MANY TIMES TO A DEALERSHIP TO FIX BUT THEY JUST CHARGE ME MONEY AND SAY ITS FIXED, BUT THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I WILL SUE, I AM SO OVER MY CAR THREATENING MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF MY LOVED ONES.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND WON'T GO OFF, SO I LOOKED INTO IT AND IT CAN CAUSE THE BAGS TO DEPLOY AT ANY GIVEN TIME OR NOT AT ALL. THIS IS VERY UNSETTLING, AND NOT SAFE. PLEASE RECALL THIS.

STEERING
WHEN TURNING THE CAR IT WILL SQUEAK CONSTANTLY. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 98000 MILES AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. I AM TOLD THE CAR NEEDS A PART IN THE STEERING WHICH WILL COST $2000.00 JUST FOR THE PART.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BROKE AND KEPT FALLING DOWN. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANTED $278 JUST FOR THE PART AND SAID THEY WOULD CHARGE EXTRA FOR INSTALLING. THIS WAS WAY TOO COSTLY, SO I TRIED TAPING UP THE SUN VISOR, BUT THAT DID NOT WORK AS THE TAPE KEPT GIVING AWAY AND THE SUN VISOR FALLING WOULD INTERFERE WITH MY VISIBILITY OF THE ROAD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY INSTALLED A USED SUN VISOR AT THE COST OF $117. THE VERY NEXT WEEK THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE AND FELL DOWN IN EXACTLY THE SAME MANNER AS THE DRIVERS SIDE (THAT I HAD REPAIRED THE WEEK BEFORE). I DECIDED TO DO AN ONLINE SEARCH FOR A REPLACEMENT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR AND EVERYWHERE I LOOKED I FOUND PEOPLE WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI SUN VISORS NOT ONLY MY 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA BUT OTHER YEARS MODELS OF HYUNDAI AND MODELS. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AS THE SUN VISOR KEEPS FALLING DOWN IN YOUR LINE OF VISIBILITY AND INTERFERES WITH YOUR ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD AHEAD CLEARLY AND IT CLEARLY IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND I ONLY HAVE 72000 MOLES ON MY VEHICLE. THE INTERIOR OF A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE FALLING APART ESPECIALLY SOMETHING LIKE THIS, WITHOUT TOUCHING IT OR MOVING THE SUN VISOR IT JUST FALLS AND WILL NOT STAY UP.

STRUCTURE:BODY
PASSENGER VISOR FAILED A FEW MONTHS AGO. DRIVER VISOR FAILED SHORTLY AFTER (AROUND 60,000 MILES). THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI'S MANUFACTURED AFTER 2007. DEALER WOULD CHARGE $176 PER VISOR, BUT ABSORB THE COST OF INSTALLATION. ONE PASSENGER BANGED HER HEAD WHEN GETTING IN THE CAR. DRIVER'S VISOR HAS FALLEN ON MY HEAD SEVERAL TIMES -- A HAZARD IN MY OPINION.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE SWITCH HAD TO REPLACED TWICE WITHIN A FEW MONTHS. THE THREE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. THIS WAS A COMMON REPAIR ON OTHER MODEL YEARS OF THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA. 2007 SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE EXISTING RECALL. (RECALL CAMPAIGNS 110 AND 113.)

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY 2007 ELANTRA IS (LIKE ALL OF THESE OTHER COMPLAINTS EXPERIENCING A BREAK LIGHT THAT IS CHRONICALLY GOING OUT, EVEN AFTER GETTING THE STOP LAMP SWITCH REPLACED AND BEFORE THAT MULTIPLE LIGHT BULBS. AFTER GETTING THE SWITCH REPLACED, I WAS NOTIFIED 2 MONTHS-ISH LATER THAT MY BREAK LIGHT IS NOT ALLUMINATING. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT WAS NOT SHOWING UP AS A RECALL, EVEN THOUGH I KEEP FIND IT IN SERVICE CAMPAIGN #110 WHICH SAYS IT CAN CAUSE A CRASH. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING THING FOR YEARS. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME I GET IT FIXED IT WORKS FOR A SHORT TIME AND THE NEXT TIME I GET AN OIL CHANGE THEY TELL ME MY BREAK LIGHT IS OUT.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE SUN VISOR ON MY 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT DID NOT BREAK OFF COMPLETELY, BUT HUNG LOW, OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW. I TRIED TO PUSH IT BACK IT UP AND IT WOULD NOT STAY FOR LONG AND CONTINUED TO FALL AS I WAS DRIVING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AS IT CONTINUES TO FALL UNEXPECTEDLY AND OBSTRUCT MY VIEW. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD TO NOT HAVE A SUN VISOR AS IT SERVES A CRITICAL PURPOSE IN ENSURING VISIBILITY. THE SUN VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE IN A SIMILAR MANNER SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, HOWEVER THAT IS NOT AS IMPACTFUL AS IT DOES NOT CORRECTLY CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD AND VISIBILITY DEFICIENCY WHILE DRIVING. THE COST TO REPAIR IS NEARLY $300.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING ON A NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD AND THE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN IN FRONT OF MY VIEW. I HAVE TRIED TO SHOVE IT BACK INTO PLACE, BUT IT WILL NOT STAY FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES. THIS IS IMPEDING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD AND MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR A FEW MONTHS AGO.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE SUN VISOR ON MY 2007 ELANTRA BROKE, AND IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND TRYING TO ADJUST THE VISOR TO SHIELD MY EYES FROM THE SUN. SPECIFICALLY, THE ARM HOLDING THE VISOR IN PLACE BROKE, RENDING THE SUN VISOR INOPERABLE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT! THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN! I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH ONLINE, AND THIS IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 ELANTRA. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL!
