• 12/30/2012· SERVICE BRAKES

  I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO FIRESTONE AUTO FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN FOUND THAT WHEN HE APPLIED THE BRAKES THEY PULSATED. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION HE FOUND THAT ALL OF THE BRAKE ROTORS ARE RUSTED AND PITTED. THE REAR ROTORS ARE WORST THAN THE FRONT. HE ALSO NOTED THAT THE REAR BRAKE SHOES ARE WORN OUT AND NEED REPLACED. NORMALLY THE FRONT PADS ARE REPLACED TWICE TO ONCE IN THE REAR. MY GUESS IS THAT THE ROTORS CAUSED THE REAR PADS TO WEAR OUT PREMATURELY. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND THEY SAID THAT THE ROTORS ARE WARRANTED FOR 5 YEARS / 60,000 MILES BUT ONLY MANUFACTURED DEFECTS ARE COVERED. THEY SAID THAT RUSTING AND PITTING FROM WEATHER CONDITIONS IS NOT COVERED. SHOULD I HAVE KEPT THEM OILED SO THEY DIDN'T RUST? I HAVE A 2006 KIA WITH OVER 113,000 MILES ON IT AND THE ROTORS ARE STILL PERFECT WITH NO RUST OR CORROSION. BOTH VEHICLES HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO THE SAME DRIVING AND WEATHER CONDITIONS. HAD I NOT PAINT FOR THE VEHICLE INSPECTION AND BEEN TOLD THAT THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS WERE BAD. I COULD HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO BRAKE FAILURE OR POSSIBLY ONE OF THEM HANGING UP AND CAUSING A SPIN OUT CONDITION. *TR

  December 4, 2021 while driving to San Diego, CA, interstate 8W, Hyundai started jerking and pulling very hesitant. I took the car to my mechanic on December 13th and he informed me that the transmission had a slippage problem! Shifting from 1st to 2nd and then again from 4th gear! Bottom line, I needed another Transmission! I called NHTSA at 888-327-4236 to report this issue, but only a written complaint was taken! We 2010 Hyundai Elantra owners need to file a Civil Lawsuit against Hyundai! There are numerous complaints that I've read regarding this same suspension Faulty!

• 12/21/2022· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINECrash

  I have a 2010 Hyundai elantra. Two times in the last 3 months I was driving and for no reason at all my car would rev up and my speed would accelerate. In October this happened I was so scared that I quickly turned into a gas station and was hit by another vehicle. The next time it happened I was lucky on the road that wasn't busy and I was able to just take my foot off the gas until it returned to normal. After that I had no more issues until about 2 weeks ago. I was driving around 30 miles an hour when the engine just shuts down. But the power was still there. I honestly don't know how to explain it. first I tried pressing the gas pedal nothing happened no movement, no sound, nothing. So I put the car and park because it was still in drive. After that I tried restarting car and it sounded like it wanted to start but it wouldn't. Try it again nothing. thinking it was a bad connection to the battery I got out and checked battery and terminals. It looked fine and I had no way of testing so I had to push my vehicle out of the street. Luckily Two Gentlemen came over and help me push. Thinking still it was just the battery I called roadside assistance and someone from the company came and tried jump starting my car with no luck. I ended up having to get my car towed. Next day I tried starting with no luck. Try it again yesterday and it makes this fast ticking or clicking noise automatically before I even try to start it and it doesn't stop until I turn off the key. And the worst part about all this is I'm not even in the town I live I'm at a friend's house sitting an hour and a half away from my apartment. I can't bring to a mechanic because it doesn't drive and I don't have the money to fix it. I won't be able to have Christmas with my family because of this issue. I'm honestly just dumbfounded I don't have a clue of what to do or what happened. Please file a report so no one else ends up in my situation if you could provide any help in this matter I would be grateful

• 12/17/2014· STRUCTURE

  THE PLASTIC CHROME ON THE INSIDE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE IS "DELAMINATED" AND A RAZOR SHARP EDGE IS EXPOSED. WHEN I REACHED ACROSS THE SEAT (FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE) TO OPEN TO PASSENGER DOOR, THE SHARP EDGE DEEPLY CUT MY FINGER WHICH HAD TO HAVE PRESSURE FOR ABOUT THREE HOURS BEFORE IT WOULD STOP BLEEDING. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 27K MILES AND RARELY SEES SOMEONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT SO THIS IS NOT DUE TO EXTENSIVE USE AS STATED IN PREVIOUS RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM. IF THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED AND RECALLED IN 2009 THEN WHY IS IT STILL A PROBLEM IN 2014? THIS CAR WAS IN FOR SERVICE AND A NON-RELATED WARRANTY FIX LAST MONTH AND NOTHING WAS SAID ABOUT THIS PROBLEM (AND SUBSEQUENTLY, THE DEALER WAS NOT INSPECTING FOR THIS PROBLEM). *TR

  OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ON MY 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HAS FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES - THE POWER STEERING STOPS AND THE EPS LIGHT ON THE DASH ILLUMINATES. LUCKILY I WAS ALWAYS CLOSE TO HOME AND NO ONE WAS HURT. IT HAPPENS UNDER ALL KINDS OF CONDITIONS, GOING UPHILL / DOWNHILL / 50MPH OR 5MPH / TURNING / DRIVING STRAIGHT - THERE IS NOT A SINGLE 'ROAD CONDITION' OR 'DRIVING CONDITION' THAT CONSISTENTLY TRIGGERS THE FAILURE. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO HYUNDAI IN CONNECTION WITH LAST YEAR'S 'STOP LAMP SWITCH' RECALL. I HAD HOPED THE PROBLEMS WERE RELATED - THEY ARE NOT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES (RUDE AND UNHELPFUL IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT). I HAVE HAD THE 'STOP LAMP SWITCH' REPLACED AS PART OF THE RECALL, AND ALSO THE 'AIR BAG CLOCKSPRING' REPLACED (WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR), AND THE STEERING 'RE-CALIBRATED'. SINCE THESE REPAIRS THE EPS HAS FAILED ON A FEW SEPARATE OCCASIONS, AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE MECHANIC TWICE MORE, AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHY THE EPS IS JUST SHUTTING DOWN. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY FATAL DESIGN FLAW. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND HOW TO SOLVE IT. BY NOW HYUNDAI HAS TO KNOW THIS WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. *TR

  THERE HAVE BEEN MANY BREAK INS SINCE 2014. I GOT THIS CAR 02/2014 AND SINCE 07/2014 THERE HAVE MULTIPLE BREAK INS INTO THIS VEHICLE. CONFIRMED BY LAKELAND HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN 2016. THIS DEALERSHIP AGREED TO TAKE THE CAR FOR A DAY TO DO A THOROUGH INSPECTION TO SEARCH FOR ANYTHING THAT SHOULD NOT BE ON THE VEHICLE IF I AGREED TO PAY A FEE. I WAS ADVISED BY THIS DEALERSHIP TO TAKE IT BACK TO HOLLER HYUNDAI IN MAITLAND OR WINTER PARK, FL AND SEE IF THEY WOULD AGREE TO DO THE INSPECTION HERE WITHOUT CHARGE EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE OUT OF WARRANTY. HOLLER HYUNDAI DOES NOT HAVE THE EQUIPMENT TO DO THE INSPECTION, ONLY FEW SELECTIVE STORES IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA HAVE THIS EQUIPMENT. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO HOLLER HYUNDAI SINCE EARLY 2015, AND THEY NEVER DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI MOTOR FINANCE AT 800-633-5151 AND ALL THEY DID WAS TAKE INFORMATION DOWN ON PAPER BUT NOTHING BEYOND WAS RESOLVED. BECAUSE OF THE BREAK INS, THIS HAS AFFECTED OUR RADIO RECEPTION WHILE PARKED SITTING INSIDE THE CAR OR IN MOTION EVEN WHEN MOST OF THE TIME RECEPTION SHOULD BE CLEAR NOT CLOUDY. ELECTRICAL WIRES SEEM TO CAUSE SKIPPING, AND HOW THE CAR FUNCTIONS WHEN IN MOTION. JUST TWO DAYS, I DISCOVERED A BLACK JACKET WAS TAKEN FROM THE CAR. OTHER ITEMS MISSING FROM THE VEHICLE SINCE THEN WAS: A VERY EXPENSIVE BURGANDY HANDHELD BLOW DRYER; CLOTHES; AND OTHER PERSONAL ITEMS THAT WERE HIDDEN INSIDE THE VEHICLE WERE STOLEN. I HAVE BEEN VERY DISAPPOINTED AND UPSET WITH HOLLER HYUNDAI AND THE CAR SINCE ALL OF THIS, AND FEEL I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR THIS INSPECTION. I'M NOT INVOLVED IN ANY FORM OF ILLEGAL ACTIVITY NEITHER MY DAUGHTER. WE ARE THE ONLY TWO WITH KEYS TO THIS CAR AND WE DRIVE TOGETHER IN THE CAR 95% IF NOT 100% OF THE TIME.
