FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER REFUELING, THE CAR HAS DIFFICULTY STARTING. THE CAR STALL LIKE IT HAS FLOODED. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TRYING TO START THE CAR (THE CAR SPUTTERS), IT FINALLY STARTS. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER HYUNDAI ELANTRA OWNERS IN THIS AREA HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CAR INITIAL STARTED WITH DIFFICULTY REFUELING. AFTER PUTTING IN 0.25 - $1.00 WORTH OF GASOLINE, THE PUMP WOULD CLICK OFF. REFUELING COULD TAKE UP TO 5-10 MINUTES TO FILL THE TANK. I HAVE SPENT OVER $500.00 DOLLARS TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CALLED HYUNDAI OF AMERICA AND RECEIVED LITTLE TO NO ASSISTANCE. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
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 UNEVENNESS IN 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! *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
PROBLEM: THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR FELL DOWN FROM THE UP POSITION WHEN TRYING TO PUT IT UP. FOR A WHILE, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT *ALMOST* ALL THE WAY UP, TO PRESERVE VISIBILITY. HOWEVER, I WAS UNABLE TO USE THE VISOR IN ANY OTHER POSITION. UPON TAKING APART THE MOUNT WHICH SECURES THE VISOR TO THE ROOF, I SAW THAT A PLASTIC RING HAD BROKEN OFF THE VISOR ARM. DROVE WITH THE VISOR LOW. TWO-THREE MONTHS LATER, THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR FELL IN A SIMILAR FASHION. THE PASSENGER VISOR FELL FURTHER THAN THE DRIVER'S ONE, HANGING ONLY FROM THE INTERNAL WIRE. OPENED THE MOUNT AND OBSERVED THE SAME BREAK AT THE PLASTIC RING AT THE END OF THE VISOR SHEATH. ATTEMPTED GLUE REPAIR EACH TIME, WHICH DID NOT FULLY WORK. ATTEMPTED FIX: IN BOTH CASES, SUPER GLUE DID NOT HOLD & THE RING IS STILL SEPARATED. HOWEVER, RESIDUE FROM THE GLUE ON THE VISOR ARM CAUSES ENOUGH FRICTION TO KEEP THE PLASTIC SHAFTS IN THE CEILING MOUNTS MOST OF THE TIME. THE PASSENGER VISOR FALLS DOWN MOST FREQUENTLY (EVEN THO THIS CAR HAS A SINGLE DRIVER, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR IS RARELY USED -- USUALLY TO HOLD A SUNSHADE IN THE WINDSHIELD). IT DANGLES FROM THE INTERNAL WIRE, AND IT MUST BE SHOVED BACK IN THE CEILING WITH A GREAT BIT OF FORCE AND TWISTING. SUMMARY: THE PROBLEM WITH THE VISOR ARM SHEATH IS A DESIGN FLAW. THE SHEATH NARROWS JUST BEFORE IT WIDENS OUT AGAIN TO FORM A RING. THE RING IS THE PART THAT PREVENTS THE VISOR FROM FALLING OUT OF THE CEILING MOUNT. HOWEVER, THE NARROWING OF THE PLASTIC WEAKENS THE ARM AT THE POINT WHERE IT IS BEARING STRESS, WHICH CAUSES IT TO BREAK. THERE'S NO REASON THAT A VISOR SHOULD BREAK WHEN IT'S ONLY USED 5-10% OF THE TIME. IT'S ALSO IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPLETELY REPAIR EXCEPT BY REPLACING THE ENTIRE VISOR, WHICH IS AROUND $150 EACH AT THE DEALER. HYUNDAI HAS ALREADY ADMITTED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM BY RECALLING THEM ON THE SONATA. ELANTRA OWNERS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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". *TR

WHEELS, SERVICE BRAKES
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. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN TURNING ON THE IGNITION SWITCH THE CAR INTERIOR LIGHTS LIGHT UP. TURNING THE KEY TO THE IGNITION POSITION, NOTHING HAPPENS. THERE IS NO DRAW ON THE DASH LIGHTS OR ANY OTHER LIGHTS ON THE CAR. IT SIMPLY HAS NO NOTICEABLE EFFECT. I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY OFF AND ON NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE IT STARTS. NOT STARTING IS, OF COURSE, A CONCERN. THE EXPENSES FROM TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC HAS BECOME A REAL DRAIN ON OUR FINANCES. HOWEVER, IF IT BEGINS TO TURN OFF WHILE WE ARE DRIVING, SERIOUS INJURIES MAY OCCUR. {REF: CHEVY COBALT} PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. GETTING AHEAD OF THIS COULD PREVENT MORE TRAGIC OCCURRENCES. *TR

WHEELS, TIRES
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. *TR

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!! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY 2012 ELANTRA HAS FAILED TO START 3 TIMES WHILE IT WAS IN PARK AND 2 TIMES WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY IN A PERIOD OF 12 MONTHS. THERE WAS NO WARNING WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE ON, RADIO WAS ON AND IT WAS UNTIL I TRIED TO ACCELERATE WHEN I REALIZED THAT THE CAR HAD TURNED OFF ON ME. LUCKILY, IT WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC GOING ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOUR, NONETHELESS, IT WAS A PRETTY NERVE WRECKING UNSAFE EXPERIENCE. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON AFTER 3-4 ATTEMPTS. MY BIGGEST FEAR IS THAT THE CAR CAN POTENTIALLY TURN OFF ON ME WHEN I'M GOING 60+ MPH. I DRIVE MY KIDS EVERYWHERE IN THIS CAR AND I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AFTER EVERY INCIDENT AND THEIR MAIN RESPONSE IS THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEREFORE, THEY CAN'T FIX IT. AT ONE POINT, THEY CLAIMED THAT IT COULD BE DUE TO CARBON BUILD UP IN THE ENGINE SO I PAID ~$300 FOR THAT SERVICE WHICH DID NOT HELP BECAUSE THE CAR TURNED OFF ON THE FREEWAY SEVERAL MONTHS LATER. I HAVE EVEN HAD THE HYUNDAI TOW TRUCK FROM ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TOW MY CAR FROM MY WORK PARKING LOT TO THE DEALER IN HOPES THAT IT WAS PROOF THAT THE CAR DID NOT TURN ON. TOW TRUCK DRIVER CONFIRMED THE CAR DID NOT TURN ON, THEN PREPPED CAR TO PLACE ON TOW TRUCK BED. HE GOT THE CAR TO DEALER, THEN ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON THE CAR AND IT DID. I TRIED TO GET DOCUMENTATION FROM HIM BUT HE DECLINED. ALL I GOT WAS A LETTER THAT STATED THAT THE CAR WAS TAKEN FROM MY WORK PARKING LOT TO THE DEALER WITH ZERO DETAILS. THE DEALER IS BEING IRRESPONSIBLE AND DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF PURSUING THE LEMON LAW AND GOING TO BBB FOR ARBITRATION IN HOPES THAT THEY TAKE THE CAR BACK. I FEEL LIKE I DON'T HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE. I CANNOT, WITH A CLEAR CONSCIOUS, SELL THIS CAR TO A DEALER OR A PRIVATE PARTY KNOWING THAT IT IS DEFECTIVE. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
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 AND THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE AND FELL INTO MY FACE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT HOLDS IT INTO THE ROOF OF THE CAR IS NOT ATTACHED. THE ONLY THING HOLDING THE VISOR THERE IS A BLACK WIRE. THE VISOR CANNOT BE USED TO SHIELD FROM THE SUN AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH, AS IT HANGS LOW EVEN WHEN IT IS FOLDED UP TOWARDS THE ROOF OF THE CAR. TODAY, 10/7, I WENT TO CHECK THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR TO SEE IF I COULD FIGURE OUT HOW THE DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE AND FELL ALSO! THIS IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AND I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS IN MAINLY 2007 HYUNDAI MODELS ON OTHER INTERNET FORUMS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE!!!! *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR CAME DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY, HITTING ME IN THE FACE, AND OBSTRUCTED MY VIEW WHILE TRAVELING AT 65MPH. ONCE I PULLED OVER, I FOUND THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT SECURES THE VISOR TO THE TOP OF THE CAR BROKE INSIDE, LEAVING A PLASTIC RING INSIDE. UPON RESEARCH I FOUND THIS IS A FREQUENT FAILURE FOR HYUNDAI, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON THE ELANTRA ONLY ON THE SONATA ~2006, BUT THE PARTS ARE IDENTICAL. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO DO A MASSIVE RECALL AND MAKE THIS RIGHT! *TR

STEERING
I HAD DRIVEN AROUND 2 MILES WITHOUT ANY ISSUE AND WAS WAITING ON RED TRAFFIC LIGHT BEFORE ENTERING MY APARTMENT COMMUNITY. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I NOTICED THAT EPS INDICATOR HAS TURNED ON AND STEERING WHEEL IS JAMMED. THANKFULLY THE ROAD AHEAD WAS STRAIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE CAR SAFELY OVER THE CURB WITH EXTREME DIFFICULTY. I TRIED THE SEQUENCE OF COMPLETE STOP AND START MULTIPLE TIMES BUT IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THIS IS UTTERLY UNACCEPTABLE FAILURE WHICH HAS DEFINITE POTENTIAL OF RESULTING INTO ACCIDENT. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INSTANCES WHERE MY CAR HAS TROUBLE STARTING, OR WILL NOT START AT ALL. BEGINNING IN 2012, WHEN THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER (TUSTIN HYUNDAI - PATTERSON'S) AS IT WOULDN'T START. THE DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR ROUGHLY THREE WEEKS STRAIGHT, AND COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM, SO THEY DECIDED TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM. THEN AGAIN IN FEBRUARY 2013, MY CAR STILL HAD ISSUES STARTING PROPERLY, AND THE DEALER AND CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS WERE CONTACTED. ADDITIONALLY, ON OCTOBER 4TH, MY CAR WOULD NOT START ONCE AGAIN, AND FINALLY, AFTER THREE TIMES, IT STARTED. IT IS CURRENTLY AT GLENDALE HYUNDAI FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN 2012, AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. FROM THE ISSUES WITH STARTING, TO MY WINDOWS NOT ROLLING UP. THE START ISSUE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND SAFETY MALFUNCTION. AS A YOUNG WOMAN, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR ALONE AT NIGHT OR LONG DISTANCES AS I CANNOT COUNT ON IT BEING RELIABLE. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL, AS A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH BRINGS UP MULTIPLE OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES, ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE IS NOT A RESOLUTION. *TR
