FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DRIVING DOWN ROAD. SOMETHING FELL OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE. ARRIVED AT DESTINATION AND SMELLED STRONG ODOR OF GAS. LOOKED UNDER VEHICLE AND SAW GAS RUNNING OUT ONTO GROUND. TOOK CAR TO MECHANIC. WAS TOLD GAS SYSTEM HAD CORRODED THROUGH ALLOWING GAS TO LEAK ONTO GROUND. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER FOR WARRANTED REPAIRS. DEALER SERVICE PERSONNEL NOT FORTHCOMING WITH CAUSE OF LEAK, WILL NOT PROVIDE AFFECTED PARTS FOR INSPECTION. I CONSIDERED THIS AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD AS A POOL OF GAS COLLECTED UNDER AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHEELS
I PURCHASED A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT WITH THE STOCK (UPGRADED AS PART OF HYUNDAI'S 'STYLE' PACKAGE) 17-INCH RIMS AND STOCK "NEXEN" BRAND 215/45-17 TIRES ON MARCH 2ND, 2015. ONLY AN HOUR LATER, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE HAD A BUBBLE ON IT FROM HITTING A VERY SMALL AND SHALLOW POTHOLE AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, AT THE SAME RATE OF SPEED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE HAD A BLOWOUT, ALSO AFTER HITTING A SMALL, VERY SHALLOW POTHOLE. THE REAR TIRES HAVE NO DAMAGE AS OF YET. IN ONLY 2 DAYS I WILL HAVE TO HAVE REPLACED 2 TIRES. I LOOKED THIS UP ONLINE AND FOUND THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE, REPORTED BY DOZENS OF PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY WITH THESE SIZE RIMS (ALTHOUGH OTHERS HAVE REPORTED IT HAPPENING WITH THE STOCK 16-INCH RIMS AND STOCK "HANKOOK" BRAND TIRES. HYUNDAI DENIES ANY FAULT ON THEIR PART AND WILL NOT COVER WHEELS/TIRES WITHOUT AN OPTIONAL PROTECTION PLAN. I HAVE HAD TO ORDER BRAND-NEW 16-INCH RIMS AND 16-INCH TIRES OF A BETTER BRAND/QUALITY AT MY OWN EXPENSE OUT OF FEAR FOR MY SAFETY WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE FACT THAT HYUNDAI PROVIDES THESE WHEELS/TIRES WHEN BUYING A CAR IS BEYOND ME, AS THEY MUST HAVE HAD COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE BEFORE AND IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THESE SAFETY ISSUES. I HAVE HEARD IT MAY HAVE TO DO WITH THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE (AS WELL AS THE HEAVY WEIGHT DISTRIBUTED TO THE FRONT WHEELS), THE EXTREMELY STIFF AND RIGID SUSPENSION, RIMS THAT ARE TOO BIG FOR THIS VEHICLE, AND LOW-QUALITY STOCK TIRES. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS COMPLAINT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED DUE TO THIS GLARING DEFECT. BETTER TO STOP IT NOW BEFORE INJURIES, DEATHS, AND A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT OCCUR. THANK YOU FOR INVESTIGATING THIS COMPLAINT. IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO BUY A HYUNDAI, BE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND PLEASE CONSIDER THE SAFETY OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FIRST BEFORE BUYING. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
I STARTED THE CAR AND COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT APPLYING HEAVY FORCE. LOOKING AT THE DASH BOARD THE ESC AND EPS LIGHTS WERE BOTH ON. I TURNED OF THE CAR AND RESTARTED AND THE PROBLEM WAS GONE. A FEW DAYS AGO I SAW THE RECALL OF THE 2009 AND 2010 CARS REGARDING THIS VERY PROBLEM. I CALLED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SUPPORT TO REPORT MY ISSUE BUT WAS TOLD MY 2011 CAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THIS VERY ISSUE APPEARING IN ELANTRA CARS AS RESENT AS 2014. I ASK THE SAFETY BOARD TO REEXAMINE THE ISSUE IN REGARDS TO LATER YEAR OF THE ELANTRA CARS. *TR

STEERING
MY DAUGHTER WAS RETURNING HOME FROM WORK. THE EPS (ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING) LIGHT AND THE ESC LIGHT CAME ON. INDICATING THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING. SHE PULLED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD IN A PANIC AND CALLED ME. I TOLD HER TO GET THE CAR TO AN AUTO ZONE OR ADVANCED AUTO AND HAVE THEM CHECK THE FLUID AND THAT IN THE INTERIM THE STEERING MAY GET VERY HARD AND TO BE CAREFUL. SHE GOT IT TO ADVANCE AUTO AND WAS INFORMED THERE IS NO FLUID BECAUSE IT IS ELECTRONIC AND SHE NEEDED TO GET IT TO THE DEALER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER (GETTEL HYUNDAI IN SARASOTA) AND WAS TOLD THE COUPLER WAS OUT BUT THAT THE CAR WAS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE AND THE LIGHTS WOULD JUST STAY ON OR I COULD PAY $1500 TO HAVE A NEW STEERING COLUMN INSTALLED. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE AS I WAS DRIVING IT THERE AND I WAS HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL SO TIGHT MY FOREARMS WERE SORE BY THE TIME I GOT IT THERE. I AM STILL UNDER THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY (BUT NOT THE MILEAGE). I IMMEDIATELY CHECK FOR RECALLS ON NHTSA AND DISCOVER THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS VERY THING. BY THIS TIME THE DEALER WAS CLOSED. CONTACTED THEM FIRST THING IN THE MORNING (TODAY) AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE DEFECTIVE STEERING! THIS IS NOT SOME SORT OF COSMETIC PROBLEM!! HOW CAN A CAR BE SAFE TO DRIVE WITH DEFECTIVE STEERING? WHY ARE THEY NOT HONORING THE RECALL? WE LIVE IN THE COUNTRY AND WE TRAVERSE WINDY ROADS...IF THE STEERING DOES ACTUALLY GO OUT IT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY A FATALITY! IN THE MEAN TIME MY CAR SITS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WE HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK OR FOR ANY EMERGENCY THAT SHOULD OCCUR!!! *TR

SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS, SEATS
DRIVER OF OUR CAR, THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA TOURING, SLOWED TO ABOUT 20-25 MPH TO LET A CAR IN FRONT OF US TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY. DRIVER OF A HONDA CRV TRAVELING BEHIND US AT ABOUT 45-50 MPH DID NOT SLOW AND SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF US. FRONT SEAT PASSENGER HIT HER HEAD ON THE DASHBOARD RESULTING IN A BRUISE AND BLACK EYE AND WHIPLASH BECAUSE SEAT BELT DID NOT RESTRAIN HER, AND AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. DRIVER'S SEAT SLID BACKWARDS, LOOSENING HIS SEATBELT. HE HIT HIS HIP AND KNEE ON THE DOOR AND EXPERIENCED WHIPLASH. POLICE ON SCENE LOOKED AT SEATBELTS ON BOTH SIDES AND DETERMINED THERE WERE NO "STOP MARKS" INDICATING THE SEATBELTS HAD ENGAGED. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE ON A TRIP ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP. DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS CHEAP GAS, WHICH I JUST FILLED UP WITH MOBIL GAS. ALSO I JUST CHANGED OIL AND TOLD IT WAS CAUSED BY A PINT OVERFILL. THEY MUST HAVE PUT ON COMPUTER AND ADJUSTED SPECS AND TURNED ENGINE LIGHT OFF.

THE CHROME COVERED INTERIOR PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE CRACKED AND THE JAGGED METAL EDGE CUT MY PASSENGER'S HAND. MY PASSENGER PULLED THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, THE HANDLE CRACKED, AND THE METAL CUT HIS HAND. I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS SIMILAR (PERHAPS IDENTICAL) TO THAT IDENTIFIED IN THE 2002-3 SONATA WHICH PROMPTED A RECALL, BUT I COULD NOT FIND A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY CAR. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I PURCHASED 4 TIRES ON 6/14/2013, AND HAD TO REPLACE THEM ALL OF THREE OF THEM ON 8/11/2014. FOR BELT SEPARATION. THE COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR, IT WOULD NOT STAY ON THE ROAD. I CONTACTED BRIDGESTONE ON 8/20/2014, TO REPORT THE 3 FAULTY TIRES, AND THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN BACK WITH ME. I HAVE REACHED OUT SEVERAL TIMES TO THEM WITH NO REPLY. THEY GAVE ME A REFERENCE# AND THAT WAS IT. I DROVE APPROX.20,000 MILES ON THE TIRES. I WANT THEM TO LOOK IN TO THE TIRES TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT FAULTY. BUT I CAN NOT GET A RESPONSE FROM THEM. THE MAKE IS FUZION TOURING 91H. BY SENDING THIS EMAIL I HOPE SOMEONE WILL LOOK INTO THIS. I WOULD HATE TO THINK IF I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HWY. I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED , WORST YET THE OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD WOULD HAVE BEEN EFFECTED. I CAN NOT EXPRESS HOW SCARY THIS WAS FOR ME. *TR

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 5 PM ON A PARTLY CLOUDY DAY THAT WAS NOT PARTICULARLY HOT (~94F) FOR THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY. I HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS WHEN I SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD "BOOM" SIMILAR TO A SHOTGUN BLAST COME FROM THE ROOF OF MY CAR. I MADE MY WAY OFF THE INTERSTATE ONTO THE FEEDER ROAD AS QUICKLY AS I COULD. UPON GETTING OUT OF THE CAR I FOUND THAT MY SUNROOF HAD SEEMINGLY EXPLODED. ABOUT 75% OF THE GLASS WAS GONE. SOME GLASS FRAGMENTS WERE LAYING ON THE SUN VISOR (AS I HAD THE SUN VISOR CLOSED AT THE TIME), BUT MOST OF THE GLASS WAS PRESUMABLY ALONG THE INTERSTATE SOMEWHERE. THE GLASS BROKE INTO THOUSANDS OF TINY GLASS FRAGMENTS. THE GLASS THAT REMAINED WAS COMPLETELY CRACKED DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE TEMPERED GLASS. THE PIECES OF GLASS ALONG FRACTURE BOUNDARY WERE STICKING UP IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE GLASS MUST HAVE BROKEN IN AN OUTWARD DIRECTION. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE SUN VISOR. BOTH OF THESE PIECES OF EVIDENCE ALONG WITH THE FACT THAT I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING JUST PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT SHOW THAT THE SUNROOF COULD NOT HAVE BEEN SHATTERED BY AN IMPACT FROM DEBRIS. THE DEBRIS WOULD HAVE HAD TO HAVE BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY MASSIVE TO CAUSE SUCH DAMAGE TO THE GLASS. IT WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY DAMAGED THE SUN VISOR AS WELL. IN ADDITION, THE GLASS COULD NOT HAVE FLOWN OUTWARD AFTER AN INWARD IMPACT FROM DEBRIS. THIS INCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY EITHER FAULTY MATERIALS USED FOR GLASS OR IMPROPER DESIGN THAT DID NOT ACCOUNT FOR ALL LOADS THAT COULD BE APPLIED TO THE GLASS. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BY STARTLING ME AS THE DRIVER ON THE INTERSTATE. ALSO, THE RESIDUAL GLASS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED AN INJURY TO THE DRIVER OR PASSENGERS IN THE CAR IF THE SUN VISOR HAD NOT BEEN CLOSED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ENGINE TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT. I NOTICE SOMETHING WAS WRONG WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY WENT SILENT WITHOUT EVEN THE TYPICAL ENGINE VIBRATIONS. THE CHECK ENGINE AS WELL AS OTHER NOTIFICATIONS WERE ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. I CANNOT SAY EXACTLY WHICH ONES BECAUSE I WAS TOO FOCUSED ON GETTING MY CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. I TURNED THE IGNITION KEY OFF AND ON AGAIN AND THAT SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM (OR AT LEAST THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AND NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED.) THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY SCARY PROBLEM AND I AM THANKFUL IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS AT A STOP AND WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. I PLAN TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER AS IT WAS JUST THERE (3 DAYS AGO) FOR A 30K MAINTENANCE, RECALL FIX, AND HEADLIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT. *TR

I OWN A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA LIMITED, WHILE DRIVING ON A ROAD WITH BUMPS THE CAR SKIPSOR SWAYS BACK AND FORTH, THE CAR FEELS LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE CONTROL ALSO IF YOU HAVE THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND YOU HIT BUMPS THE CRUISE WELL TURN OFF BY ITSELF CAUSING THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN IN TRAFFIC. BETWEEN THE TWO PROBLEMS, IT'S A VERY UNEASY FEELING WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE OVER BUMPS, THE FEELING OF LOSING CONTROL AND SLOWING DOWN IS A VERY BAD PROBLEM. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER SHIP AND TRY BLAMED ON THE LOW PROFILE TIRES THAT COME STOCK ON THIS VEHICLE...THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED OR BUMP SOMETIMES THE SMALLEST OF BUMPS CAN CAUSE THIS. *TR
