  YET ANOTHER DOOR HANDLE HAS FALLEN OFF MY 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA! THIS IS #4. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 4 YRS OLD, AND YET 4 OF THE DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN OFF. THE PRIOR COMPLAINTS I HAVE FILED HAVE BEEN 10400898 AND 10280729. I AM REALLY DISGUSTED WITH HOW HYUNDAI IS TREATING THIS. HYUNDAI TELLS ME THAT IT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THE COLD. 2 OF THE DOOR HANDLES FELL OFF IN WINTER MONTHS OF DECEMBER AND FEBRUARY. 2 FELL OFF IN THE SUMMER MONTHS OF JULY AND AUGUST. WHEN I MENTIONED THIS, THEY BACKTRACKED AND BLAMED ME FOR RIPPING THEM OFF... I AM A 150 LB, 47 YR OLD WOMAN. I DO EXERCISE, BUT I AM NOT A GORILLA! I'VE NEVER HAD ANY OTHER VEHICLE LOOSE A SINGLE DOOR HANDLE, LET ALONE 4 OF THEM! I AM UPSET THAT I AM BLAMED INSTEAD OF THEM LOOKING AND RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM! I AM NOT A CERTIFIED HYUNDAI TECHNICIAN, BUT I CAN SEE THAT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM HAVE BROKEN IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT ON THE PLASTIC! IT HAS A LITTLE PIN IT RIDES ON AND THE PLASTIC BREAKS RIGHT THERE EACH AND EVERY TIME. I'VE SEEN IT. THE HYUNDAI TECHNICIAN SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE IT ALSO. BUT THEY CLAIM IT IS NOT A PART OR VEHICLE PROBLEM. HYUNDAI CLAIMS THAT I HAVE BEEN TEARING THE HANDLES OFF IN SOME WAY! IF THAT IS TRUE, I SURE WISH I KNEW HOW I WAS DOING IT SO I COULD QUIT WRECKING MY CAR! IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO THEY DON'T CARE NOR ARE THEY INTERESTED IN MAKING SURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO ME (OR ANYONE ELSE!) AGAIN. TOO BAD, WE AREN'T REQUIRED TO DO ANYTHING NOW, SO GO AWAY IS THE RESPONSE THEY GAVE ME WHEN I SENT THEM A LETTER...DO NOT PURCHASE A HYUNDAI! *TR

  ON DECEMBER 5TH, 2020 AT APPROXIMATLY 0645AM I WAS DRIVING MY ELANTRA WITHOUT AND IISSUES OR PRE-INDICATORS THAT SOMETHING VERY BAD WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. I WAS ON A BUSY ROAD THAT IS TRAVELED ALL TIMES OF THE DAY, GETTING ON INTERSTATE 270 IN COLUMBUS HEADED WEST. I ESTIMATE (PICTURE INCLUDED FROM ACCIDENT SITE AND WHERE THE FREEWAY STARTED) ABOUT 1000 FEET UNTIL I MERGE ONTO THE WELL TRAVELED HIGHWAY. IWHEN I I COMPLETED MY SLIGHT TURN ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PATICULAR ON RAMP, I LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING, MY CAR WENT IN TWO CIRCLES. MY STEERING DID NOT WORK AS WELL AS MY BRAKES. I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO NOTE THAT THIS PATICULAR ON RAMP ALSO HAS STEADY, FAST MOVING TRAFFIC FROM ANOTHER STREET MERGING TOGETHER BEFORE WW ALL GET ON THE HIGHWAY. TWO CARS AND A TRACTOR TRAILOR WERE ABLE TO AVOID ME. I AM CONVINCED THAT ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD HIMSELF WAS I NOT SERIOUSLY HURT OR MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. MY ONLY MEANS TO STOP WAS FIANNLLY THE GUARDRAIL. I ALSO THANK GOD FOR THIS GUARD RAIL BECAIUSE THERE IS A STEEP EMBANKMENT WITH A BODY OF WATER AT THE BOTTOM. I ESTIMATE AT THE TIME OF COLLISON I WAS APPROACHING AT LEAST 40 MPH. MY HEAD HIT THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW. NO BLEEDING, JUST STUNNED. (NOBODY STOPPED BTW). WHEN I WAS ABLE TO COLLECT MY THOUGHTS AND CALL SOMEONE. I WAS ABLE TO CALL MY FRIEND FOR A RIDE. HE WAS SHOCKED WHEN HE ARRIVED THAT I WAS OKAY. HE WANTED TO GO TO THE ER BECAUSE OF THE GOOSE EGG ON MY NOGGIN BUT DURING A PANDEMIC I THINK I'LL WAIT. HE CALLS AAA FOR ME AND WE GET THE CAR TOWED BACK TO MY HOME. IT WILL NEVER BE DRIVABLE AGAIN BUT IN MY STATE OF SHOCK IT WAS MY MOST PLAUSIBLE OPTION. UPON, INSPECTING THE CAR, THE TIRE ROD SNAPPED CLEAN OFF THE WHEEL.

  A FRIEND DRIVING BEHIND ME NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING WHEN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. WHEN WE PARKED WE TESTED THEM AND NONE OF THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WORK. I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG MY BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING BUT IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE CONSIDERING I DRIVE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN A CITY DAILY. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL (CAMPAIGN 09V122000) THAT I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED TO INCLUDE THE 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA THAT I DRIVE, BUT IT APPEARS THAT MY PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED (YET). I AM ALSO BOTHERED THAT I HAD TO DO ALL THIS RESEARCH. WHEN THE CAR DEALERSHIP AND THE HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE ENTERED MY VIN, THIS RECALL DOESN'T EVEN SHOW UP AS A POSSIBLE INCLUSION. I UNDERSTAND MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL BUT CONSIDERING OTHER VEHICLES OF MY MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THIS PARTICULAR RECALL, I WOULD HAVE HOPED THAT IT WOULD RED FLAG OTHER VEHICLES THAT COULD BE SUSCEPTIBLE. OR AT THE VERY LEAST, WHEN A RECALL DOES OCCUR, OTHER OWNERS OF SIMILAR VEHICLES SHOULD BE INFORMED IN AN EFFORT FOR THOSE OWNERS TO WATCH OUT FOR THE SAFETY ISSUES THAT MAY ARISE. *TR

  I WAS DRIVING AT A LOWER RATE OF SPEED IN A HIGHLY RESIDENTIAL AREA WHEN THE SUN VISOR BROKE OFF FROM ITS PIN FROM THE CEILING OF THE TRIM, HIT ME IN THE FACE, AND DANGLED FROM THE ELECTRICAL CORD, BLOCKING MY WHOLE LINE OF VISION. THE INCIDENT SCARED ME WHEN IT HIT ME IN THE FACE AS WELL AS BLOCKED MY SIGHT AND I SWERVED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC NEARLY HITTING A CAR. I HAD TO PHYSICALLY HOLD THE VISOR OUT OF MY WAY UNTIL I COULD PULL OVER. THE VISOR HAS A PLASTIC POST WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT THE WHOLE WEIGHT AND MOVEMENT OF THE VISOR, WITHIN WHICH AN ELECTRICAL CORD FOR THE ILLUMINATED MIRROR PLUGS INTO A CONNECTION (THUS HOW IT WAS DANGLING). THIS SAME PIECE WAS RECALLED IN THE SONATA BUT NOT IN THE ELANTRA, AND THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

  WHILE ENTERING FREEWAY, WHEN TRYING TO USE SUNVISOR TO SAFELY NAVIGATE TRAFFIC THE SUN VISOR COMPLETELY FELL APART, THE ONLY THING HOLDING IT TOGETHER IS THE ELECTRICAL CORD FOR THE MIRROR. THIS WOULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF THERE WAS ANY TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD. RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE SHOWED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD AND THAT HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF; THEY HAVE REVISED THE SUN VISOR TO FIX THE ISSUE AND HAVE RECALLED IT IN THE SONATA, BUT WHEN I CALLED HYUNDAI TO DISCUSS THIS ISSUE ON NOVEMBER 4TH, THEY DENIED THAT THEIR WAS ANY ISSUE WHATSOEVER WITH THE ELANTRA SUN VISOR.

  I REARENDED SOMEONE IN MAY DESPITE THE FACT THAT I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED. I HAD MY FOOT COMPLETELY DEPRESSED ON THE BRAKE AND STOPPED AT A LIGHT, BUT STILL, MY CAR HIT THE CAR INFRONT OF ME WITH INCREDIBLE FORCE. I THOUGHT THAT I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND AND PUSHED INTO THIS CAR BUT WHEN WE PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT, THERE WERE NO SCRATCHES OR ANYTHING ON THE BACK OF MY CAR. IT CAME DOWN TO BEING MY FAULT SINCE THERE WAS NO-ONE ELSE AND I COULDN'T PROVE THAT MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. THEN, TODAY, AS I WAS REACHING DOWN TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK, IN A PARKING LOT WHERE I WAS, AGAIN, COMPLETELY STOPPED, MY CAR REPEATED THE FORCEFUL THRUST FORWARD. THIS TIME THERE WAS NO CAR INFRONT OF ME, THANK GOODNESS, BUT MY CAR HIT AND BOUNCED OFF OF THE CONCRETE CURB IN THE PARKING LOT RESULTING IN ME GETTING A HEADACHE FROM THE FORCE. AGAIN, I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AND MY CAR LURCHED FORWARD LIKE I WAS REARENDED. I KNOW THAT THE INCIDENT IN MAY WAS NOT BECAUSE I HAD TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE BUT THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY CAR AND NOW THAT IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN, I KNOW I'M RIGHT. ONCE, IT HAPPENED TO HAPPEN WHEN I WAS BEHIND A CAR AND THEN TODAY IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS IN A PARKING LOT, BUT I'M SCARED OF WHAT MAY HAPPEN IF THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE INFRONT OF ME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO GET HURT BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY CAR, SO THIS IS MY LAST HOPE OF GETTING SOMEONE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

  PROBLEM: THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR FELL DOWN FROM THE UP POSITION WHEN TRYING TO PUT IT UP. FOR A WHILE, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT *ALMOST* ALL THE WAY UP, TO PRESERVE VISIBILITY. HOWEVER, I WAS UNABLE TO USE THE VISOR IN ANY OTHER POSITION. UPON TAKING APART THE MOUNT WHICH SECURES THE VISOR TO THE ROOF, I SAW THAT A PLASTIC RING HAD BROKEN OFF THE VISOR ARM. DROVE WITH THE VISOR LOW. TWO-THREE MONTHS LATER, THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR FELL IN A SIMILAR FASHION. THE PASSENGER VISOR FELL FURTHER THAN THE DRIVER'S ONE, HANGING ONLY FROM THE INTERNAL WIRE. OPENED THE MOUNT AND OBSERVED THE SAME BREAK AT THE PLASTIC RING AT THE END OF THE VISOR SHEATH. ATTEMPTED GLUE REPAIR EACH TIME, WHICH DID NOT FULLY WORK. ATTEMPTED FIX: IN BOTH CASES, SUPER GLUE DID NOT HOLD & THE RING IS STILL SEPARATED. HOWEVER, RESIDUE FROM THE GLUE ON THE VISOR ARM CAUSES ENOUGH FRICTION TO KEEP THE PLASTIC SHAFTS IN THE CEILING MOUNTS MOST OF THE TIME. THE PASSENGER VISOR FALLS DOWN MOST FREQUENTLY (EVEN THO THIS CAR HAS A SINGLE DRIVER, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR IS RARELY USED -- USUALLY TO HOLD A SUNSHADE IN THE WINDSHIELD). IT DANGLES FROM THE INTERNAL WIRE, AND IT MUST BE SHOVED BACK IN THE CEILING WITH A GREAT BIT OF FORCE AND TWISTING. SUMMARY: THE PROBLEM WITH THE VISOR ARM SHEATH IS A DESIGN FLAW. THE SHEATH NARROWS JUST BEFORE IT WIDENS OUT AGAIN TO FORM A RING. THE RING IS THE PART THAT PREVENTS THE VISOR FROM FALLING OUT OF THE CEILING MOUNT. HOWEVER, THE NARROWING OF THE PLASTIC WEAKENS THE ARM AT THE POINT WHERE IT IS BEARING STRESS, WHICH CAUSES IT TO BREAK. THERE'S NO REASON THAT A VISOR SHOULD BREAK WHEN IT'S ONLY USED 5-10% OF THE TIME. IT'S ALSO IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPLETELY REPAIR EXCEPT BY REPLACING THE ENTIRE VISOR, WHICH IS AROUND $150 EACH AT THE DEALER. HYUNDAI HAS ALREADY ADMITTED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM BY RECALLING THEM ON THE SONATA. ELANTRA OWNERS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS. *TR

• 10/16/2012· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  THE BRAKE LIGHT FUSE WAS BURNING OUT REPEATEDLY. THE PROBLEM WAS DETERMINED TO BE COMING FROM THE 1157 BULB SOCKET. THE SOCKET IS PART OF A 3 BULB PIGTAIL THAT CONNECTS TO WIRING HARNESS. I WAS TOLD BY TWO DEALERS AND HYUNDAI AMERICA THAT A $700 WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE PURCHASED. APPARENTLY HYUNDAI DOES NOT MARKET THE PIGTAIL SEPARATELY. I FIND THIS VERY IRRESPONSIBLE. YOU CAN NOT SAFELY OR LEGALLY DRIVE WITHOUT BRAKE OR BLINKER LIGHTS. THE 1157, 1156 AND 194 BULBS HAVE BEEN IN USE FOR HALF A CENTURY. THE PIGTAIL OR A REPLACEMENT SOCKET SHOULD BE AVAILABLE WITHIN 24 HOURS AND AT A REASONABLE RATE. *TR

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 11V179000 (AIR BAGS: FRONTAL: SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE). THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR AND WAS UNSUCCESSFUL DUE TO THE SEVERE CORROSION WITHIN THE AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS. THE MALFUNCTION CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 11/16/11*LJ UPDATED 11/18/11

  THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BROKE AND KEPT FALLING DOWN. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANTED $278 JUST FOR THE PART AND SAID THEY WOULD CHARGE EXTRA FOR INSTALLING. THIS WAS WAY TOO COSTLY, SO I TRIED TAPING UP THE SUN VISOR, BUT THAT DID NOT WORK AS THE TAPE KEPT GIVING AWAY AND THE SUN VISOR FALLING WOULD INTERFERE WITH MY VISIBILITY OF THE ROAD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY INSTALLED A USED SUN VISOR AT THE COST OF $117. THE VERY NEXT WEEK THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE AND FELL DOWN IN EXACTLY THE SAME MANNER AS THE DRIVERS SIDE (THAT I HAD REPAIRED THE WEEK BEFORE). I DECIDED TO DO AN ONLINE SEARCH FOR A REPLACEMENT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR AND EVERYWHERE I LOOKED I FOUND PEOPLE WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI SUN VISORS NOT ONLY MY 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA BUT OTHER YEARS MODELS OF HYUNDAI AND MODELS. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AS THE SUN VISOR KEEPS FALLING DOWN IN YOUR LINE OF VISIBILITY AND INTERFERES WITH YOUR ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD AHEAD CLEARLY AND IT CLEARLY IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND I ONLY HAVE 72000 MOLES ON MY VEHICLE. THE INTERIOR OF A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE FALLING APART ESPECIALLY SOMETHING LIKE THIS, WITHOUT TOUCHING IT OR MOVING THE SUN VISOR IT JUST FALLS AND WILL NOT STAY UP.

• 10/09/2013· STEERING

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA.

THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE PROBLEM RECURRED ON EVERY TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 17,709.

• 10/09/2009· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  THE CAR IS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEDAN. WHILE DRIVING THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON SO AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE WITH THE DEALER (HAMILTON HYUNDAI, CHAMBERSBRUG, PA TO HAVE IT CHECKED. THE DEALER SAID THAT MOISTURE FROM THE CENTER MOUNTED CUP HOLDER GOT INTO A ELECTRICAL CONNECTION DIRECTLY BELOW AND CAUSED THE WIRING HARNESS TO GET HOT, MELT TOGETHER AND THE WIRING HARNESS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE UNDER THE DASH, ALSO MELTED. NO FUSES OR CIRCUIT BREAKERS ACTIVATED. THE AIR BAGS AT THIS POINT WERE INOPERABLE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THE CAR COULD POSSIBLY CATCH FIRE WHILE OPERATING. THE CAR WAS ALSO THERE FOR THE RECALL ON THE BRAKE SWITCH THAT COULD CAUSE A CRASH SINCE THE BRAKE LIGHTS COULD OR COULDN'T ILLUMINATE. THE PARTS AND LABOR TO REPLACE THE WIRING HARNESS ARE QUITE EXPENSIVE AND ALL DUE TO A POORLY ENGINEERED DESIGN. THE FACT THAT WE WERE WARNED THAT THE CAR COULD CATCH FIRE IS DISTURBING AND HYUNDAI SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP. THERE IS ANOTHER 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA AT THE DEALER THAT HAS THE SAME HARNESS MELTED DOWN. *TR

• 10/09/2008· SEAT BELTS

  PASS SEAT BELT STICKS. PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT UNLATCH SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A HYUNDAI DEALER THEY JERKED ON SEATBELT IT AND IT UNLATCHED, THEN STATED THEY COULD DO NOTHING ELSE. THIS BELT JUST UNLATCHES WHEN YOU PULL IT. *TR

  THE VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE AND FELL INTO MY FACE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT HOLDS IT INTO THE ROOF OF THE CAR IS NOT ATTACHED. THE ONLY THING HOLDING THE VISOR THERE IS A BLACK WIRE. THE VISOR CANNOT BE USED TO SHIELD FROM THE SUN AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH, AS IT HANGS LOW EVEN WHEN IT IS FOLDED UP TOWARDS THE ROOF OF THE CAR. TODAY, 10/7, I WENT TO CHECK THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR TO SEE IF I COULD FIGURE OUT HOW THE DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE AND FELL ALSO! THIS IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AND I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS IN MAINLY 2007 HYUNDAI MODELS ON OTHER INTERNET FORUMS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE!!!! *TR

• 10/07/2014· VISIBILITY/WIPER

  THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR CAME DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY, HITTING ME IN THE FACE, AND OBSTRUCTED MY VIEW WHILE TRAVELING AT 65MPH. ONCE I PULLED OVER, I FOUND THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT SECURES THE VISOR TO THE TOP OF THE CAR BROKE INSIDE, LEAVING A PLASTIC RING INSIDE. UPON RESEARCH I FOUND THIS IS A FREQUENT FAILURE FOR HYUNDAI, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON THE ELANTRA ONLY ON THE SONATA ~2006, BUT THE PARTS ARE IDENTICAL. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO DO A MASSIVE RECALL AND MAKE THIS RIGHT! *TR
