ENGINE
BELOW 50 DEGREES IT TAKES THE HEATER AN EXTREMELY LONG PERIOD FOR THE CAR TO REACH NORMAL OPERATING TEMP AND THEN WHEN THE HEATER IS TURNED ON IT FALLS BACK TO ALMOST INTO THE COLD POSITION AND BEGINS TO BLOW COOL AIR. THE TEMP GAUGE WILL THEN GO UP WHILE DRIVING BUT WILL GO DOWN TOWARD THE COLD POSITION WHILE IDLING. MY OTHER CAR IS A 2011 ELANTRA AND HAVE NO ISSUES WITH IT AS IT WARMS UP IN JUST A COUPLE OF MILES AND STAYS WARM AND BLOWS HOT AIR. DEALERSHIP HAS CHECKED IT OUT AND SAYS ITS WORKING FINE BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL CASES ON THE INTERNET REPORTING THE SAME WITH OTHER OWNERS AND EVEN FOUND WHERE HYUNDIA HAS ISSUED A TSB REPLACING SOME THERMOSTATS IN THE 2017 MODELS.

THE 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA ALL-WEATHER FLOOR MATS HAVE DEEP RUBBER GROOVES THAT RUN PERPENDICULAR TO THE DRIVER'S LEGS CAUSING THEIR SHOE TO BE MOMENTARILY TRAPPED IN THESE DEEP RUBBER GROOVES. THE EXTRA MOTION NECESSARY TO RELEASE YOUR SHOES FROM THESE GROOVES CAN PROMOTE A SAFETY HAZARD IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. ARE THESE FLOOR MATS BEING RECALLED?

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SE DOES NOT HAVE A SERVICE LIGHT. DROVE ABOUT 8K MILES AND NO SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO SERVICE AND ASKED WHY THE LIGHT DID NOT COME UP? UPON COMPLETION THEY CONFIRMED THIS CAR IS BASIC AND DOES NOT COME WITH A SERVICE LIGHT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THEY GIVE AN MSRP OF OVER 21K AND FAIL TO PUT A VERY IMPORTANT FEATURE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS IN AN OPEN PARKING LOT, I REVERSED MY CAR OUT OF THE PARKING STALL WITH 1 CAR ON THE PASSAGE SIDE, NO CAR ON THE STALL RIGHT NEXT TO THE DRIVER SIDE BUT THERE WAS A PARKED CAR RIGHT NEXT TO THE EMPTIED STALL. WHEN MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF THE PARKING STALL, I TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT (NOT ALL THE WAY) SO THAT I WAS IN AN 45 DEGREE ANGEL TO DRIVE OUT. I PUT MY FOOT ON MY BRAKE TO CHECK IF THERE WAS ENOUGH ROOM FOR ME TO DRIVE OUT. SUDDENLY, I FELT MY CAR MOVED SLOWLY ON ITS OWN, MY INSTINCT AT THAT TIME TOLD ME TO PUT THE CAR ON PARK GEAR. AS SOON AS I DID THAT THE CAR ROLL BACKWARD FASTER AND STOPED UNTIL I STRUCK THE PARKED CAR NEXT TO THE EMPTIED STALL IN THE PARKING LOT . MY CONCERN IS WHY THE CAR STILL MOVED IF IT WAS ALREADY IN PARK GEAR. OR IS THE CAR SUPPOSED TO STOP WHILE IN PARK GEAR? I DON'T KNOW CAR REALLY WELL SO I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BUT IT SCARED ME TO KNOW THAT PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK GEAR IN THIS SITUATION DID NOT STOP THE CAR FROM MOVING. I AM NOT SURE IF THE MANUFACTURER EVEN TEST THE CAR IN THIS SCENARIO.

ENGINE
MY CAR WILL NOT START SOMETIMES, AND THE KEYS WON'T HANDLE THE SIGNALS TO THE CAR. IF I WERE TO WANT TO TURN IT ON IT WON'T, WHEN THIS SITUATION HAPPENS. ALSO, THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. I PARK MY CAR, AND IT WON'T TURN ON, NOT EVEN THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS. THE ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON SO I THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T SCAN IT SUPPOSEDLY. I AM WORRIED THIS WILL HAPPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING.
