  'TAKATA RECALL' WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED IF I HIT A SLIGHT BUMP OR IRREGULARITY IN THE ROAD REAR END OF CAR JUMPS AROUND. ON WET OR SLICK ROADS IT IS EVEN WORSE. FROM THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE. I NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH STABILITY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS UNSURE AS TO WHAT WAS CAUSING THE CAR TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS JUMPING AFTER HITTING SMALL BUMPS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I UNDERSTAND NOW THAT IT IS THE SUSPENSION THAT IS CAUSING THIS INSTABILITY. THE BUMPS I HIT ON THE HIGHWAY ARE NOT MAJOR BUMPS, THESE ARE JUST THE SMALL ONES THAT TRANSITION FROM SECTION TO SECTION OF THE HIGHWAY SO I KNOW IT ISN'T THE ROAD I DRIVE ON, IT IS THE CAR. ALSO WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, ANYWHERE FROM 45-65MPH THE DRIVING STABILITY FEELS UNSAFE AND THE VEHICLE WAVERS BACK AND FORTH ON THE HIGHWAY, HAVING TO ALWAYS CORRECT IT. WHEN IT IS WINDY IT IS EXTREMELY WORSE. I CANNOT BELIEVE HYUNDAI MADE A CAR THIS UNSAFE. DRIVING THIS WINTER I HAVE ONLY HOPED THAT THE JUMPING AND WAVERING DOESN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE TO FEEL THAT WAY IN A VEHICLE. THE COMPANY SHOULD BE MADE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE ISSUES. THIS HAPPENS SO OFTEN AT LEAST OVER 20 TIMES IN JUST THIS YEAR I'M AFRAID FOR MY LIFE AND SO ARE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE

WELL OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T BE HAPPENING TO MY CAR SO OFTEN. BUT AFTER REPLACING THE BRAKE LIGHT BULBS MAYBE GOING ON 6 TIMES NOW MY FIRST HEADLIGHT SOCKET BURNT OUT I WENT TO AUTO ZONE AND BOUGHT A REPLACEMENT ONE.

  Recently my car has had trouble starting, and the engine has sounded weak while running. While out my engine light came on the dash. I took my car to the parts store and they put the computer on to read the engine light. It stated that there are misfires in the coils. Yes it is available for inspection upon request. This put people inside the car at a risk as a engine failure couldve happened at full speed. No this has vehicle has not been inspected. My dash had zero lights on, until the engine light came on. This is my daily driver and can not afford this vehicle to be down.

  Confirmed the customer's complaint &found the engine didn't start. Inspected the ignition system & the air intake system, but found no concerns. Inspected the engine coolant level & condition & found the engine coolant level was fair. Filled the engine coolant to the proper operating level & continued diagnosing the vehicle. Connected an engine coolant pressure tester to the radiator & pressurized the engine cooling system to check for leaks. Inspected the engine cooling system & didn't find a leak. Removed the spark plugs for inspection & found the spark plugs were contaminated but Ok. Perform inspections of the engine compression & found compression was low. Under 60PSI. Prop the wiring to the starter & found signal was present & the starter cranks but the engine would not turn over. These results verified that Some internal components in the engine have failed. *NOTE: Found ignition coil cylinder 1 fault, causing P0301. Misfire. Replace with new ignition coil pack The tech inspected the engine. Found no obvious fault. No warning indicator. The computer shows the engine is running normally. He did check all the components & found a couple that was weak or will be going bad soon. The ignition coil for the remaining 3 cylinders is firing slightly weak. There are 4 coils, you replace 1, the remaining 3 are from the old engine, original until now. He's recommending having those coil packs replaced. That's helped the spark plug fire more properly. Also, the oxygen sensor on the exhaust pipe. the reading shows the O2 is switched late, meaning the electronic sensor is getting weak. It will fail soon, once it does, it will set the engine light .Engine Mounts: Right: With the engine at idle, performed an inspection of the engine compartment and found the engine shook. Turned the engine off & performed a visual inspection of the engine compartment & found that an engine mount was weak or damaged. The issue has been ongoing for months prior to this issue.

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE PROFUSELY WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS BEING DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (ADVANTAGE HYUNDAI, 440 PLAINVIEW ROAD, HICKSVILLE, NY 11801) WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

• 12/28/2015· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA ON DECEMBER 24, 2013, THE VEHICLE WAS BEING OPERATED ON A ROAD WITH A 35 MPH SPEED LIMIT. WITHOUT ANY DEVIATION OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE JUMPED TO 60 MPH. WHILE AT THE SUBSEQUENT STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE'S RPM'S REMAINED HIGH (APPROXIMATELY OVER 5,500 RPM). THE ELANTRA WAS THEN DRIVEN TO A HOME DEPOT PARKING LOT. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, RPM'S CLIMBED TO 5,000 (WHILE IN "PARK"). NO OTHER MODULES WERE BEING USED AT THIS TIME - INCLUDING CRUISE CONTROL OR "ECO BOOST." THE VEHICLE'S RPM RATE REMAINED AT AROUND 2,500-3,000 ONCE PUT INTO "DRIVE", RESULTING IN THE SPEED REACHING APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MPH. THIS IS WITHOUT THE FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND TRAVELING OVER SMALL HILLS AND GRADE VARIANTS. SUMMARY: WHILE 2013 ELANTRA IS IN PARK, RPM'S REST AT 5,000. WHILE IN DRIVE, RPM''S BOTTOM OUT AT 2,500-3,000, DISALLOWING THE ABILITY TO NATURALLY STOP. THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO RESIDE IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE COMPONENTS LOCATED THEREIN. THIS IS TO BE CONFIRMED AT A HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER.

  I own a 2013 elantra and was sent in the mail in the spring a class action lawsuit from Hyundai stating there was an engine piston knock which could lead to engine failure. There was a timeframe to submit the claim to coorprate so I brough the vehical in to be diagnosed with the engine issue. Sport Hyundai had the car for months stating they were waiting for the tool. First the wrong size was ordered then the tool broke. The dealership had our car for about four months and still didn't have the correct tool. So I had the car moved to Millville dealership which finally after six months of having the car was diagnosed and by that time cooperate office said we missed the deadline. I was back and forth with the dealership and cooperate stating the issues. No one helped us I have documentation that when we brought the vehicle in to be diagnosed when it was moved to another dealership. No one has helped I reached out to cooperate multiple times and they stated there was nothing they can do. The car we now have back still with the engine knock that could lead to engine failure or catching on fire while driving.

  THE BRAKES MAKE HORRIBLE CREAKING AND GRINDING NOISES WHEN WET. SOMETIMES IT WILL EVEN CAUSE THE CAR TO SHAKE. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY DO NOT TAKE THIS SERIOUS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT. I JUST TOOK IT IN LAST WEEK AND THEY EVEN TRIED TO GET ME TO PAY 100 FOR A CLEANING OF THE BRAKE COMPONENTS, I FEEL I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO FIX A PROBLEM WE HAVE HAD SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND HAVE HAD IT IN SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT. I AM NOT CONFIDENT DRIVING THE CAR NOW AND CLEARLY NO ONE WOULD WANT IT BUY IT OFF US WHEN IT MAKES SUCH HORRIBLE NOISES. I ALSO BELIEVE IT CANNOT BE SAFE AND WILL CAUSE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE CALIPERS AND / OR POSSIBLE THE BALL JOINTS OR FRONT STEERING SUSPENSION. I THINK THEY HAVE A FAULTY DESIGN IN THE BRAKE HYDRAULICS AND THE DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURES BETWEEN THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES ARE NOT RIGHT. *TR

  ABOUT 4 TIMES PER YEAR, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I MUST USE THE SHIFT RELEASE BUTTON AND THIS TAKES AWHILE TO WORK. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS IDLING IN A PARKING LOT, PARKED AT A DRIVE-THRU, TRYING TO LEAVE A PARKING LOT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 12 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN AND ON HIGHWAY SHIFTING LANES IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO AND IT WILL PULL HARD LEFT OR RIGHT ALMOST CAUSING TO RUN OFF THE ROAD. 12/25/2019, WHILE ON THE WAY HOME I ALMOST STRUCK ANOTHER CAR. MORE NOTICEABLE FROM 30 TO 55 WORSE OVER 55. DRIVING ON DIRT ROAD FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO FISH TAIL. STEERING IS STICKY YET A LOT OF PLAY. INTERMITTINGLY WHILE BRAKING IT SOUNDS LIKE SCRAPPING LIKE WHEN YOUR BRAKES ARE BAD. BRAKING SLOWLY OR ABRUPTLY MAKES NO CHANGE. WET ROADS IS WORSE WITH BRAKING.

• 12/25/2015· STEERING,POWER TRAIN,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

  THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE 1. STEERING- THE ELECTRIC STEERING MAKES THIS VEHICLE HARD TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE ON THE FREEWAY. THE AUTO STEERING OR SELF CORRECTING STEERING IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD HAVE AN OFF SWITCH. 2.TRACTION CONTROL- THE TRACTION CONTROL IS DANGEROUS IN ICE,SNOW AND RAIN. IT HAS THE OPPOSITE EFFECT IN THESE CONDITIONS, IT WOULD SAFER AND WOULD HAVE MORE CONTROL IF IT IS SIMPLY TURNED OFF. 3. STALLING- THE VEHICLE STALLS VERY EASY, BUT I BELIEVE IT DUE TO SAVING GAS AT IDLE WITH LOWER RPM. (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) REQUIRES MORE GAS WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP THAN ANY VEHICLE I'VE HAVE OWNED. 4. TPS- TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR NEVER WORKS ALWAYS SAYS THERE IS AN ISSUE EVEN AFTER REPLACING SENSORS. THESE PROBLEMS ARE CONSTANT SINCE PURCHASE!

  **STEERING WHEEL SAFETY HAZARD** I HAVE A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SE COUPE, 50K MILES. I NOTICED THAT ALL THE SUDDEN IN THE PAST WEEK OR SO THERE IS A FEW INCH GAP AND A CLUNKING NOISE IN MY STEERING WHEEL. I BROUGHT IT TO MY DEALERSHIP (KING HUYNDAI AND DEERFIELD BEACH FLORIDA) AND THEY ADVISED THAT MY "STEERING WHEEL COUPLER" NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED HIM IF THERE ARE ANY POSSIBLE HAZARDOUS OR DANGEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS FAULTY STEERING WHEEL COUPLER. HIS RESPONSE WAS, "ABSOLUTELY, YOUR STEERING WHEEL CAN LOCK UP AND CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT"! HE ALSO ADVISED ME THAT IF I DO NOT HAVE THIS REPAIRED ASAP IT CAN RESULT IN MY ENTIRE ELECTRICAL STEERING SYSTEM TO ALSO BREAK & NEED REPLACEMENT. HE ALSO ADDED, "IF THAT HAPPENS I WILL END UP SPENDING A LOT MORE MONEY FOR THAT REPAIR ALSO"! I DID SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS BAD "COUPLER" IS MADE OF ONLY PLASTIC!! THE AVERAGE COST IS ONLY ABOUT $10 FOR A NEW ONE. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE ME OVER $300.00 (OUT OF THE DOOR) FOR THIS SPECIFIC REPAIR. THIS GAP AND CLUNKING SOUND HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS TOTALLY STOPPED (BUT STILL RUNNING) AND ALSO DURING NORMAL AVERAGE DRIVING. THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE AND I TRANSPORT MY THREE YOUNG CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE. I AM SO SCARED TO DRIVE IT NOW, I AM TRYING TO FIND OTHER TRANSPORTATION METHODS. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING I AM ABLE TO FEEL EVEN THE SMALLEST PEBBLE UNDER A TIRE AND THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES AND TRULY DOES NOT FEEL SAFE AT ALL AND IS VERY SCARY. MOST IMPORTANTLY, IF THIS IS SUCH A DANGEROUS MATTER REGARDING THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, WHY WOULD THEY USE ONLY PLASTIC FOR THIS COUPLER AND NOT SOMETHING MORE RIGID AND STABLE WITH NO WORRIES OF ANY WEAR?

WHEN I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AGAIN IN REGARDS TO ALL OF IT IN MAY OR JUNE 2020, THEIR EXACT WORDS TO ME WERE "WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO ABOUT IT?" AND NOW, AFTER FINALLY GETTING THE COUPLER ISSUE RESOLVED IN NOVEMBER, MY EPS JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN QUIT WORKING WITH NO WARNING. I WAS DRIVING AND OUT OF NOWHERE, THE WHEEL VIOLENTLY TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT AND LOCKED. NO EPS LIGHT, NO WARNING, NO NOTHING! THIS LUCKILY IN MY CASE DID NOT CAUSE ME TO WRECK, BUT IT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURIES HAD THERE BEEN ANOTHER CAR NEAR ME WHEN IT HAPPENED! IT ALSO DID IT SEVERAL TIMES SITTING STATIONARY WHEN BEING LOOKED AT IN THE SHOP!
