ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Horn has failed twice. The first time it was taken to the dealership and “fixed” - now it has failed again. The second issue is that the car accelerates on its own, both at a high and low rate of speed. While traveling at approximately 60 mph on multiple occasions, when the engine transitions from the electric motor to the gas engine, it will suddenly rapidly accelerate without any additional pressure on the gas pedal. While braking at a low rate of speed, the car seems to fight the brakes and will accelerate instead, propelling the car forward. This has almost caused multiple accidents. At the first occasion (Mar 2023), the dealer did a “transmission relearn” which mostly fixed the issue, but it has aggressively returned only 3 months later (one week ago) and is extremely dangerous. While trying to move to the side of the road and stop the car, the car continues the stop-go jerking/propelling forward and is nearly uncontrollable. The vehicle is currently at the dealership again and has not been diagnosed. On the first occasion they claimed they could not reproduce the issue. There is an open case with Hyundai regarding this. There were no warning lights or signals on the vehicle.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
My daughter was driving the car to work. The car accelerated even thou her foot was lightly placed on the gas pedal, it was like pressing the gas pedal to race the car. This happened 4 times on her 4.5 mile drive to work. When she was turning into the parking lot, she had her foot on the brake and the car accelerated again which scared her as she didnt want to crash into the cars in front. I read a lot of such complaints on the hyundai forum. I talked to the dealership service mechanics and they say that they will have to replicate it. This is the first time this has happened in the last 2 years. The contact stated that this information is incorrect and applies to their other VOQ 11525448 for their 2021 Hyundai Elantra. The 2022 Hyundai Elantra has issues with loss of power.

LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
Vehicle was being driven on access road when the LKA jerked the steering wheel to the right, causing a collision with a vehicle entering road from commercial drive. The road lines were straight with no breaks, hands were on the steering wheel. The vehicle was made to swerve out of its lane without enough time to correct before collision.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
The Cruise Control will automatically set itself to either 20mph or 120mph when engaging it as usual. This happens with no common circumstances that I can see, but as it has happened over 10 times and I have only had the brand new car since Aug 31 2022 and the dealership does not seem concerned about it, I though I should report it to you. It HAS put both myself and others at risk, as the first time it happened, the car began to accelerate as fast as possible and the digital readout on the dashboard had the Cruise Control set for 120 mph and I almost ran into the car ahead of me. I have taken it to Schomp Hyundai in Aurora, CO and they were unable to reproduce the issue and no codes came up, with the exception of the LKA, which they did not deem a problem. This happens regularly and the only recourse is to pull over and restart the car. This first occurred around 20,000 miles and continues to happen without any rhyme or reason and makes me feel unsafe in my first brand new car. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope if this is happening to others, that Hyundai will be made aware of it and remedy the problem before someone get seriously hurt.

ENGINE
Our Jiffy Lube service center performed and oil change to Hyundai Elantra. A day later customer came back with vehicle being towed. Customer stated vehicle seized for no reason. Our technicians inspected vehicle engine oil and found it to be at proper level, but vehicle was completely dead as if no power at all. Customer towed vehicle to nearest dealership, dealership states vehicle seized due to oil starvation due to improper placement of oil filter. This is a canister filter. There is no right or wrong way to place a canister oil filter. Our service center is left with a $9855 bill. Would like to know if dealership statement is true(2022 Hyundai Elantra under warranty, but denied). Please read dealership statement on third page under description.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
Car horn failure. Almost had an accident. Tried to honk the horn, so that i could warn the other driver coming toward my lane, nothing, no sound at all. I swerved my car out of the way... it could have been bad if there was a car next to me. Took the car to the dealership. Verdict, they said the car horn needs to be changed. Nope, did not notice any warnings that the horn gonna malfunction. It is messed up. I hardly use the horn and yet it is broken. Isn't the horn supposed to last a while?

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
After driving the vehicle for about 5 miles I stopped to make a left turn and when I let off the brake and pressed the gas pedal the car crept forward but wouldn't speed up and the gas engine wasn't starting or even cranking. After about 20 to 30 seconds to gas engine started and the car drove fine for about 15 miles then I went to slow down and the car speed up on it own and the adaptive cruise control was off. Then it drove fine for a few more miles then I stopped at a red light and then began to make a right turn and the car did the same as before. It crept forward and the gas engine wasn't starting or even cranking. Then after 20 to 30 seconds the gas engine started and I was able to speed up some but then the engine would rev up but the car wouldn't speed up. It seemed like the transmission wasn't engaging. The car was parked for about 8 hours and then drove to the dealership without any issues. The service department at the local Hyundai dealership looked at the vehicle and test drove it without any issues

SERVICE BRAKES
When I come to a stop the nose doesn't nose drop. Took them a while at the shop to agree something was wrong, they had to vehicle for 2 months cut the rotors, a week later it's doing the same thing. So now it's easier to calipers hanging up heating up the rotors but they say I'm running out of warranty on it when it started I noticed it 2,000 miles and I'm reaching 10,000 now and they say the brakes run out at 12,000 even though they had my vehicle for 2 months just to cut the rotors.
