UNKNOWN OR OTHER
INTERMITTENTLY, MY CAR DOES NOT START. I TURN THE KEY AND NOTHING HAPPENS. I TRY IT AGAIN. NOTHING. I TRY IT AGAIN AND IT STARTS. IT HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS SITTING OVERNIGHT IN MY GARAGE. IT HAPPENED AFTER I WAS IN A STORE FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES. IT HAPPENED AFTER I WAS IN ANOTHER LOCATION FOR 2 HOURS. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN IT HAPPENED AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG BECAUSE IT DIDN'T DO IT FOR THEM. (OF COURSE, IT DIDN'T!) THEN, AFTER ANOTHER COUPLE OF TIMES OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN, I RESEARCHED AND FOUND IT WAS PROBABLY SOME KIND OF SWITCH. I TOLD THAT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED SOMETHING WHICH SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. NOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR FOR FEAR I WILL BE STRANDED SOMEWHERE UNSAFE ONE DAY.

NOT ALL SYMPTOMS COME UP SAME TIME BUT ONE OF THEM WHILE LIGHT FLASHING. DETAILS : 1. FIRST TIME HAPPENED IN JUNE/JULY 2015 CONTACTED DEALER. SINCE DEALER CANNOT REPLICATE THEY DID TEST DRIVE AND FELT EVERYTHING NORMAL. I DROVE 1 YEAR SCARRED BUT ISSUE DIDN'T OCCURRED 2.

SUSPENSION
THE DRIVER'S SIDE COIL BROKE AND PUNCTURED THE TIRE CAUSING A BLOW OUT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A HIGHWAY. TERRIFIED BECAUSE THE THE SMOKE AND THE INABILITY TO STEER THE CAR I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET ACROSS THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED MY 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, AND HAVE ALWAYS SERVICED MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE COIL SPRING BROKE ON MAY 27TH AND THE DEALERSHIP IS HAVING DIFFICULTY LOCATING A REPLACEMENT FOR THE COIL SPRING. I AM TOLD THAT THEY COULD POSSIBLY HAVE ONE BY JUNE 8TH. THIS FACT ALONE TELLS ME THAT MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. I AM INSISTING THAT THEY REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL BECAUSE I AM CERTAIN THAT IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THAT COIL ALSO BREAKS. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT HYUNDAI WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THE SECOND COIL SPRING AS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND STARTED A GOOD FAITH REQUEST AND THEY ARE REVIEWING TO SEE IF THEY WILL COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THE PASSENGER SIDE. HYUNDAI HAD A COIL SPRING RECALL ON 2012 ELANTRA VEHICLES FOR ALL CARS PRODUCED PRIOR TO 3/31/2011. MY CAR WAS PRODUCED ON 6/9/2011 JUST MISSING THE RECALL CUT OFF DATE. OBVIOUSLY GIVEN WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR THEY NEED TO EXTEND THAT CUT OFF DATE. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT MY BLOW OUT DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MY DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN VERY GOOD DURING THIS ORDEAL AND HAS PROVIDED ME WITH A LOANER CAR.

ENGINE
HAVE A TICKING SOUND IN ENGINE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WAS GOING TO CHARGE ME $62.00 TO LOOK AT IT. TOOK AROUND 45 MINS. SERVICE PERSON CAME AND TOLD ME IT SOUNDED LIKE A PISTON SLAP . WITH FURTHER LOOK AT THE ENGINE THEY SAID I NEED A NEW ENGINE. SAY WHAT! WILL I LOOKED ON LINE AND YOUTUBE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. WENT TO A WEB SIGHT ABOUT COMPLAINTS FOUND A LOT OF THEM ABOUT TICKING . CALLED AND ASKED IF IT WAS A SHORT, LONG OR CREAT ENGINE. TO ME THE SHORT BLOCK NEED REPLACED. CALLED NEXT DAY AND TOLD ME THAT ENGINE WAS ON HOLD. HYUNDAI WANTED THEM TO TAKE PICTURES AND SEND THEM TO CORPORATE OFFICE. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THEY FIND OUT WHAT HYUNDAI WANTS TO DO. HAVE READ ONLINE LINE THAT HYUNDAI KNOWS ABOUT THE BAD ENGINES AND DO NOT WANT TO REPLACE THEM. YOU GET NOTHING BUT HASSLE FROM THEM ABOUT REPLACING THE ENGINE. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT'S NOT THERE FAULT. BUT I FEEL THAT THEY ARE ALSO. THEY SOLD ME A CAR WITH A BAD ENGINE. I COULD HAVE HAD A FROZEN ENGINE WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESS WAY AND GOT INTO A BAD ACCIDENT. GOING TO CALL AGAIN ON FRIDAY TO SEE IF ANYTHING HAS BEEN DONE. TOOK IT IN ON MONDAY. DEALERSHIP TO ME NOT TO CALL THEM AGAIN. THAT THEY WILL CALL ME. ALL I WANT IS THE ENGINE REPLACED SO I HAVE A CAR.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED BY NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V871000. THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER PERFORMED CAMPAIGN # 133 ON 04/14/16, AT WHICH TIME A Y YAW RATE SENSOR REP/HECU UPD WAS (CORRECTED). ON THAT DATE, THE ODOMETER READING WAS: 53,768. PRIOR TO HAVING THIS RE-CALIBRATION I HAD EXPERIENCED NO NOTICEABLE ISSUES REGARDING THE BRAKING SYSTEM. AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED BY THE DEALER, ON SIX (X6) SEPARATE OCCASIONS, ONE OF THE BAKES HAS INDEPENDENTLY LOCKED UP UPON TRANSITIONING FROM SMOOTH TO ROUGH SURFACES, GOING OVER A MANHOLE AND/OR DISSIMILAR ROAD MATERIALS (SUCH AS BLACKTOP TO CEMENT BRIDGE, OR ONTO A SERRATED METAL BRIDGE MATERIAL). THIS HAS BEEN COMPLETELY RANDOM IN OCCURRENCE, ON THE HIGHWAY OR TYPICAL CITY STREET, BUT DOES SEEM TO BE RELATED TO BRAKING OR SLOWING DOWN IN GENERAL AS THAT IS WHEN IT IS NOTICED, EXCEPT THAT ONE WHEEL BRAKE LOCKS - CAUSING THE US (THE DRIVERS) TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION AS THE CAR SUDDENLY WILL VEER TO ONE DIRECTION OR ANOTHER UNEXPECTEDLY INSTEAD OF THE INTENDED SLOW-DOWN. RATHER THAN RECTIFY THE PROBLEM THE RECALL WAS MEANT TO RESOLVE (THAT WE HAD NOT EVEN SEEN SYMPTOMS OF), NOW THE "SUPPOSED REPAIR - HYUNDAI CAMPAIGN 137," SEEMS TO HAVE ACTUALLY REPRODUCED THE SYMPTOMS IN OUR VEHICLE, NOW MAKING US FEEL UNSAFE AND UNEASY DRIVING IT AS WE HAVE NEARLY AVOIDED COLLISIONS ON A FEW OCCASIONS DUE TO THE NEW BRAKE LOCK-UP THAT HAS STARTED SINCE RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED ON 04/14/16, WHICH WAS MEANT TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE, NOT CREATE IT.

SUSPENSION, WHEELS
DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE 2012 ELANTRA SUSPENSION/REAR END, THE REAR WHEEL TIRES ARE WORN OUT WELL BEFORE EXPECTATION. PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND AFTER 20K MILES DISCOVERED SIGNIFICANT WEAR ON THE REAR TIRES...ESPECIALLY THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. THOUGHT IT WAS A TIRE PROBLEM. REPLACED ALL TIRES, AND AFTER ONLY 16K MILES THE REAR TIRES AGAIN NEED REPLACEMENT. FRONT TIRES LOOK LIKE NEW. THE TIRES ARE LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD. AGAIN, STILL THOUGHT IT WAS A TIRE PROBLEM. WENT TO TIRE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS NOT THE TIRES BUT THE FACT THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION CANNOT BE ADJUSTED FOR ALIGNMENT. IT IS FIXED BY HYUNDAI AT A -1.50 CAMBER...WHICH APPARENTLY CAUSES THE TIRES TO WARE OUT QUICKLY. I NOW AGREE THAT IT A CAR PROBLEM AND CONTACTED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE REP SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE (WHICH I FIND DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE) AND REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE PUSHING IT BACK ON THE TIRE MANUFACTURER. THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER STATED THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT COULD NOTHING TO RESOLVE IT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW WHICH HYUNDAI IS NOT READY OR WILLING TO ADDRESS.

NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V871000 - SAME SITUATION 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA - ENGINE BREAKS AUTOMATICALLY WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE.

AFTER TURNING A CORNER, AN AUDIBLE "GRINDING" WAS NOTED, AND DRIVER STOPPED, LOOKING UNDER THE VEHICLE FOR LODGED DEBRIS. SECOND MOTORIST STOPPED TO ASSIST, AND AN ATTEMPT TO MOVE THE VEHICLE WAS MADE, AT WHICH POINT IT WAS NOTED THAT THE SUSPENSION WAS "OFF", AND THEY BELIEVED A PORTION OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS RESTING ON THE TIRE.

BOTH ORIGINAL COIL SPRINGS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE SNAPPED DUE TO CORROSION AND COLD WEATHER CLIMATE WITHIN A YEAR OF THE OTHER. HYUNDAI WILL NOT INCLUDE IN THE RECALL BECAUSE IT IS 2012 VEHICLE. THE ISSUE IS THE SAME AS THE 2011 COIL SPRING FAILURES. THIS RECALL NEEDS EXTENDED TO THE 2012 VEHICLES AS WELL.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS MY ELANTRA HAS STALLED IMMEDIATELY UPON STARTING. IT DOESNT MATTER IF THE ENGINE IS HOT OR COLD. JUST FILLED UP WITH GAS OR ANYWHERE IN BETWEEN. THE PROBLEM IS VERY INTERMITTENT. USUALLY IT WOULD THEN START ON THE 2ND OR 3RD TRY BUT HAS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS LEFT ME STRANDED REQUIRING A TOW. THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT UNLESS THEY CAN REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. IVE HAD THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED AND ALL NEW SPARK PLUGS, BUT ITS STILL ACTING UP. I DONT WANT TO KEEP THROWING MONEY AT IT GUESSING WHAT COULD BE WRONG. THIS BEGAN AROUND 10,000 MILES AND IT NOW IS APPROACHING 80,000. ID LIKE FOR HYUNDAI TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM.

RE: NHTSA 15V871000 BASED ON THE HYUNDAI SAFETY RECALL, I WENT TO TWO DEALERSHIPS AND STILL HAVE A GLOWING ESC DASH LIGHT AND AN UNRESOLVED SAFETY PROBLEM. EACH DID A FREE "CALIBRATION" OF A "STEERING" SENSOR AND TOLD ME A "YAW" SENSOR WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE FOR OVER $1200. THE NHTSA REMEDY SAID "DEALERS WILL VERIFY THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE ESC SENSORS .... FREE OF CHARGE". PLEASE NOTE "SENSORS" IS PLURAL. SURELY IT WAS NOT THE NHTSA'S INTENTION TO HAVE HYUNDAI OPERATE A "BAIT AND SWITCH" BY DOING A FREE "CALIBRATION" ON ONE SENSOR AND CHARGING OVER $1200 TO REPLACE THE OTHER. MY FAMILY AND I ARE NOW DRIVING A CAR WITH A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS KNOWN TO THE NHTSA AND HYUNDAI BUT IS APPARENTLY NOT COVERED BY A SAFETY RECALL - BASED ON HYUNDAI'S INTERPRETATION OF THE EXISTING RECALL! YOUR HELP IS NEEDED - THANK YOU. *TR
