TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS AND/OR TPMS MODULE PROBLEM. I PURCHASED THIS 2018 HYUNDAI ELANTRA FROM SAN TAN HYUNDAI, GILBERT, AZ 86297 IN LATE MARCH 2018. THE TIRE PRESSURE IN EACH OF THE 4 TIRES WAS 36 PSI, THE COLD TIRE PRESSURE FOR THIS AUTO.IN THE FIRST WEEK OF AUGUST 2018 THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON . I CHECKED THE THE TIRE PRESSURE IN EACH OF THE 4 TIRES WITH A ANALOG AND DIGITAL TIRE PRESSURE METER AND THE PRESSURE IN EACH TIRE WAS ABOUT 32 PSI. I RE- INFLATED EACH TIRE UP TO 36 PSI (SPEC REQUIREMENT) BUT THE WARNING LIGHT STAYED ON. I NOTIFIED HYUNDAI HEADQUARTERS CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER AND SUGGESTED I TAKE THE NEW AUTO WITH ONLY ABOUT 1500 MILES ON ODOMETER TO SAN TAN HYUNDAI. I HAD TO WAIT ABOUT 2 WEEKS FOR A OCT.18,2018 APPOINTMENT. THE TIRE WARNING LIGHT TURNED OFF JUST BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT, SO I CANCELED THE APPOINTMENT. ON 12-18-2018 THE TIRE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON AFTER THE 4 TIRES WERE RE-INFLATED AGAIN FROM 32 PSI UP TO 39 PSI. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH HYUNDAI'S INDIVIDUAL TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR AND/OR TPMS MODULE ON MY NEW 2018 HYUNDAI ENTRANT. WHEN EACH OF THE 4 TIRES ARE RE-INFLATED TO 36 PSI,THE DASHBOARD TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT SHOULD TURN OFF. I HAVE MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH SAN TAN HYUNDAI BUT WHAT I HERE FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE IS: IT MAY COST YOU DOLLARS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM INSTEAD OF INDICATING THAT IT IS COVERED UNDER MY NEW CAR WARRANTY. THIS IS WHY I AM REPORTING MY PROBLEM TO NHTSA. ON LINE REPORTS INDICATE THAT THIS MAY ALSO BE A PROBLEM WITH OTHER HYUNDAI ELANTRA VEHICLES FROM PREVIOUS YEARS.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CAR SPUTTERS AT IDLE, ACTING LIKE IT'S GOING TO CUT OFF. DOES NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY, BUT ONLY INTERMITTENTLY. ONE DAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND IT WOULD SPUTTER AT LIGHTS. DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO ADVANCE TO GET THE ENGINE LIGHT CHECKED; NOTHING CAME UP. STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND IT DROVE FINE, LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. FINALLY, AFTER LETTING IT IDLE AWHILE, WERE ABLE TO GET A CODE ON THE COILS. REPLACED THEM ALL. CAR WAS RUNNING FINE AFTER THAT. THE SPUTTERING AT IDLE HAS NOW STARTED AGAIN.....LESS THAN 2 MONTHS LATER.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
WAS NOT GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO TEST DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY UPON PURCHASE. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE HOME AND GOT IT UP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE FLOATS, OR SWAYS LEFT AND RIGHT LIKE ITS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. HYUNDAI HAS TOLD ME UNFORTUNATELY THAT IS JUST THE WAY THE VEHICLE RIDES, THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE I FEEL THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU ADD WIND IN THE EQUATION IT IS A CONSTANT FIGHT THE KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT OR IN ITS LANE. DROVE 650 MILES PLUS TO GET THIS RESOLVED AND NO RESOLUTION HAS BEEN MET. THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO SWAY AND FLOAT MORE ON PAVED HIGHWAYS, BLACK TOP IS A LITTLE BETTER BUT STILL THE SAME. I WAS GIVEN A LOANER ELANTRA SAME YEAR AND THE SAME ISSUE.

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT WHEN THE "ENGINE HAS OVERHEATED" WARNING CAME ON, AFTER WHICH I MANAGED TO MAKE IT TO A LOCAL ROAD NEAR BEFORE THE CAR STALLED. I HAD IT TOWED TO A HYUNDAI CENTER THE NEXT DAY, WHERE THEY TOLD ME I HAD A TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK AND THEY FIXED THE ISSUE. TODAY, LESS THAN A WEEK LATER, I WAS DRIVING AND ABOUT TO GO ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE "ENGINE HAS OVERHEATED" WARNING CAME ON AGAIN. I FELT LIKE IT WOULD BE TOO DANGEROUS TO CONTINUE DRIVING IN CASE THE CAR STALLS AGAIN AT NIGHT ON A FREEWAY, AND AM WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM HYUNDAI TO EITHER FIX OR REPLACE THE CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CAR HAS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH ACCELERATION. WILL GO INTO A FAIL SAFE MODE, WONT ACCELERATE PAST 40-60 MPH. I HAVE HAD VERY CLOSE CALL ON MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE FACT I AM UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. MY CAR LOST POWER AND COULD NOT PICK UP SPEED AT ALL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND THE CAR DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HELP ME.
