ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Climate control switch melted and caused a small fire. I had to pull my dash apart very quicky to put it out. The Hyundai dealership would not help me even though a 2014 Elantra and Veloster has had technical service bulletins regarding this issue. They charged me 200$ dollars to tell me the switch melted even though I had already pulled it apart and showed them the issue. I spoke to Hyundai USA about it and they did not help me either. I bought the part and replaced it myself after the dealer tried to tell me it was almost 700$ for the repair. My son was in a panic because the cab of the car was filling with smoke as we were driving. No warnings or anything.

On 8/2123 my son had left school, once on the major road his car would not accelerate. As he was turning, at a light, to get off the major road his car went limp and could barely move. An on coming car just missed him. I opened a claim with hyundai because they have a open case with their engines. They verified that the car is on the list for the extended warranty of the engine. Towed the car to a dealership and based off their diagnostic they say it's not the rod bearings it could be the camshaft or crankshaft and therefore the car is not qualified for the extended warranty. It is clear that they are covering themselves to not replace my engine. My son almost got into a major accident due to their faulty engine.

STEERING
The steering coupler for the MDPS (Motor Driven Power Steering) was disentegrated mostly. There are 8 cutouts on the coupler. 4 catch the motor and 4 catch the steering box. Its original and made of soft rubber. The steering always seemed vague for a sports car. The new coupler Dorman 926-990 looks like a urethane, some type of firmer material. The car steers perfectly now. The danger is from the chance that the coupler wouldn't catch when turning the steering wheel which supplies input to the MPDS and the steering wheel would turn and the front wheels wouldn't or maybe only sort of follow the intended direction.

ENGINE
Unknown. I was driving my car home after work and basically the engine blew a piston out of the side of the engine while going 20mph, was just driving normally them a loud boom sounded like I hit a pothole or something but their where no objects in the road. And in my review I seen a trail of oil and one the car stopped all the oil was dripping from the underneath the car. The car had been sending a check engine light/coil misfire. And from what I know the recall is for some type of misfire code. I got no help from the dealer as to why my engine blew up other than it was my fault I lost the car in a accident and don’t have it anymore but I put in 7,000-10,000 on a turbo system and refurbished engine. And I strongly believe it has something to do with the recall at hand But I had no choice at the time and the recall didn’t come to me till after I lost the car.
