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.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
MY VEHICLE HAS CONTROL ARM RUST AND PERFORATIONS IN THE SUBFRAME, COVERED UNDER AN EXISTING RECALL. HYUNDAI HAS ADMITTED THAT THE PARTS ARE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, BUT STATES THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLACE THE SUBFRAME AND CONTROL ARMS DUE TO RUST DAMAGE ON THE FRAME ITSELF. REPLACING THE DAMAGED PORTIONS OF THE FRAME WILL COST WELL OVER THE PRICE OF THE VEHICLE. IF THE SUBFRAME DID NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED, THE FRAME WOULD LIKELY HOLD FOR SOME TIME AND NOT REQUIRE REPLACEMENT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THE FRAME DAMAGE IS ONLY AN IMMEDIATE ISSUE BECAUSE THE RECALL REPAIR NEEDS TO BE DONE. HYUNDAI HAS OFFERED ME TO EITHER REPLACE THE FRAME DAMAGE AT MY OWN EXPENSE SO THEY CAN COMPLETE THE RECALL REPAIR, OR TAKE A BUYOUT EQUAL TO THE KELLY BLUE BOOK VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. OTHER COMPENSATION SUCH AS RENTAL FEES WAS REFUSED. IT HAS TAKEN THEM ~25 DAYS SINCE RECEIVING THE VEHICLE TO MAKE THIS OFFER.

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.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
VEHICLE WAS TOOK IN TO DEALERSHIP LAST 4/22/2015 FOR EPS RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V100000 AND HYUNDAI RECALL 127. THEY COMPLETED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE RECALL DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM ON 5/26/2016 WAS DRIVING THE 2010 ELANTRA AND EPS LIGHT CAME ON CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CAPABILITY. CALLED HYUNDAI THEY SAID IT WAS NOT PART OF RECALL TAKE TO DEALER. DEALER ON 6/1/2016 STATED THAT THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS DONE BUT DID NOT FIX EPS STEERING ISSUE AND WOULD NEED TO REPLACE STEERING COLUMN $2150. THE RECALL OBVIOUSLY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE HAVE NOTICED MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IF A RECALL IS TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE RECALL SHOULD BE DONE FULLY AND CORRECTLY NOT CHEAPLY AND HALFWAY. THE EPS CAUSES STIFF STEERING MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR A PERSON TO STEER. THIS COULD LEAD TO MANY ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLY DEATH. THE LIGHT COMES ON AND IMMEDIATLEY WITH OUT WARNING THE STEERING IS AUTOMATICALLY GONE. WHILE DRIVING I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE AFTER LOSING STEERING I TRIED MAKE A TURN OFF THE MAIN ROAD INTO A SUBDIVISION TO GET OFF THE MAIN ROAD. AS I WAS TURNING AT A VERY LOW SPEED BELOW 5 MPH I WAS UNABLE TO STAY IN MY LANE AND A CAR WAS EXITING THE SUBDIVISION. ALTHOUGH THERE WOULD BE MINOR DAMAGES, THIS COULD BE DIFFERENT IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AT AN EXIT COMING AROUND A TURN. THE LOSS OF STEERING IS UNSAFE AND I DO HOPE THAT THE RIGHT MEASURES ARE EVENTUALLY TAKEN TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 45000 MILES ON IT.

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.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT WHERE I WAS MOVING AT ABOUT 2-5MPH TURNING LEFT AND STRUCK DIRECTLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, THE VEHICLE THAT STRUCK ME WAS GOING ABOUT 40MPH AND WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON THE ROAD. BOTH VEHICLES WERE TOWED AWAY FROM THE SCENE. NONE OF MY AIR BAGS, EVEN THE DRIVER DOOR AIR BAGS DESIGNED TO GO OFF IN THIS TYPE OF ACCIDENT WERE DEPLOYED. I SMASHED THE LEFT SIDE OF MY HEAD INTO THE WINDOW OF MY CAR , A CUT ACROSS MY LEFT CLAVICLE, RECEIVED FACIAL BRUISING, A CONCUSSION, AND AM HAVING ONGOING MEDICAL ISSUES RELATED TO WHIPLASH AND THE DISPLACEMENT OF MY NECK SPINE AND SHOULDERS. I ALSO HAD A PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE WHO IS ALSO HAVING ON GOING MEDICAL ISSUES. THE DRIVER DOOR ON THIS CAR WAS COMPLETELY CAVED IN AND WOULD NOT OPEN, AND THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE BACK DOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE ALSO. THE AIRBAGS NOT BEING DEPLOYED WHEN THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN THIS CAR. OVER $7500 OF DAMAGES WERE MADE TO THIS 2015 HYUNDAI ELANTRA.

STEERING
ON THURSDAY 5/19/2016 WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN THE A.M WITH THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT TO THE STEERING WHEEL I NOTICED IT WAS MAKING A CLICKING SOUND AND FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS CATCHING (FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM)WHEN THE CLICK OCCURS AND YOU ARE MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL BACK THE OTHER WAY. WHETHER MOVING STEERING WHEEL TO RIGHT OR LEFT BUT NOT WHEN MAKING A COMPLETE TURN. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET FOUND A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR MY YEAR AND 2011 SONATAS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO BE A COUPLING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I USE AND WAS TOLD BY THE WARRANTY ADMINISTRATOR THEY KNOW ALL ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THE REPAIR WONT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SINCE I AM OUT OF BASIC. I ASKED IF IT IS DANGEROUS AND WAS ASSURED THAT IS IS JUST NOISY.
