2011 Hyundai Elantra Complaint Log

HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH TIRE WEAR ON THE 17 INCH TIRE PROVIDED WITH THE 2011 ELANTRA LIMITED. EVERY OTHER TIRE SET I HAVE PURCHASED FOR OTHER VEHICLES WOULD LAST 40-50K MILES OR MORE, BUT WITH THIS CAR, I WAS ONLY GETTING ~25K MILES PER SET. I WAS ON MY THIRD SET OF TIRES(NOT DISCOUNT TIRES, THREE DIFFERENT BRANDS AS WELL) WITH ONLY ~78K MILES WHEN THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE HAD A SIDEWALL BLOWOUT. I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE PURCHASED A SPARE (THE DEALER LIED AND TOLD ME IT HAD A SPARE WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR). HOWEVER, I WAS TRAVELING OUT OF TOWN WITH FAMILY AND THIS CAUSED SEVERAL HOURS OF DELAY AS I HAD TO FIND ANOTHER TIRE PLACE TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE FOR THE LONG TRIP. I WAS ALSO FORTUNATE THAT THE BLOWOUT OCCURRED WHILE GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, SO MY VEHICLE SPEED WAS NOT HIGH AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION AND INJURIES TO THE NECK AND BACK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED AND THE GEAR SECURED IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000. *TR

THE STEERING HAS A STICKY SPOT IN IT WHICH YOU HAVE TO PULL TO GET OUT OF WHICH MAKES YOU SWERVE THE CAR TO DO SO. IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT OR THE LEFT. IT MAKES IT REALLY HARD TO STAY ON THE ROAD. IT "ROAD WALKS" BADLY. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS YEAR MODEL. I BELIEVE IT IS THE VSM ON THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS I AM GOING TO END UP IN A WRECK TRYING TO HOLD THE CAR ON THE ROAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA TOURING EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR ASSURANCE TIRES SIZE 215-45-R17, DOT PJ63JU11711. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THE DRIVER REAR TIRE BLEW OUT AND A FEW DAYS LATER, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE ALSO BLEW OUT. THE TIRES WERE INSPECTED AND IT WAS FOUND THAT THE SIDEWALLS WERE CRACKED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000 AND THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,380.

2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA TOURING. ATTORNEY REPRESENTING CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FRONT AND SIDE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING ACCIDENT. *SMD PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, AND CLAIMED THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. THE LAWYER FIRST BECAME AWARE OF A RECALL, AFTER READING AN ARTICLE IN THE NEWSPAPER. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED HEAD ON INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED SEVERE LEG INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION AND A RIGHT KNEE REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,092. UPDATED 10/8/14*CN PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BECAUSE THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON. SHE WAS INFORMED, IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE CONSUMER NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. UPDATED 10/15/14 ACCORDING TO HYUNDAI, THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED. THEY STATED THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS WERE NOT INTENDED TO DEPLOY DURING EVERY IMPACT THAT WAS GENERALLY DIRECTED AGAINST THE VEHICLE'S FRONT END. FRONTAL AIR BAS WERE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY WHEN A VEHICLE SUSTAINED A SUFFICIENT FORWARD DECELERATION TO TRIGGER THE AIR BAG SENSOR. THE AIR BAG SENSOR REACTED TO EXTREME DECELERATION OF THE VEHICLE'S FORWARD MOVEMENT. BASED UPON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, IT APPEARED THE VEHICLE WAS HIT AT AN ANGULAR IMPACT INVOLVING LATERAL FORCES. UPDATED 11/26/14 UPDATED 12/17/14. *JB LAWYER ON BEHALF OF CLIENT.

PLEASE READ THROUGH THE FOLLOWING FORUM: HTTP://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T35968_DS499866 HYUNDAI EQUIPS THE SE MODEL OF THIS CAR WITH 17" ALLOY RIMS AND LOW-PROFILE TIRES. THIS COMBINATION HAS CAUSED A LOT OF PROBLEMS, AND I BELIEVE IT IS THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. I HAD PROBLEMS WITH LEAKING TIRES FROM THIS RIM/TIRE COMBO AND HAVE HAD TO REPAIR A RIM SO IT WOULD NO LONGER LEAK. NOW, IT IS COSTING ME ABOUT 1500 DOLLARS TO SWITCH TO 15" STEEL WHEELS TO FIX WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. TIRES ARE NOT A JOKE. WHEN THEY FAIL IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES. I BELIEVE THAT INVESTIGATION WOULD REVEAL FAR MORE PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM THAN HAS BEEN REPORTED. *TR

SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2011 I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MICE GETTING INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE IN SPITE OF ALWAYS CLOSING ALL WINDOWS AND DOORS. I HAVE ALSO HEARD OF A COWORKER'S FAMILY MEMBER WHO HAD THE SAME CAR AND THE SAME PROBLEM. ADDITIONALLY THERE WAS A SIMILAR COMPLAINT FILED RECENTLY WITH NHTSA (ODI ID NUMBER : 10477843). AT EVERY SERVICE STOP, I WOULD ASK IF THERE WAS ANY TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS SENT BY HYUNDAI FOR THE ISSUE. ON WED, 10/17 WHEN I GOT INTO MY CAR TO GO TO WORK, THERE WAS A MOUSE ON THE DASHBOARD INCHES AWAY FROM ME. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE AND THAT I WANTED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THEM LOCATE THE PLACE WHERE THE MICE ARE GETTING IN. I WAS AMAZED WHEN THEY SHOWED ME A LARGE OPENING IN THE METAL FIREWALL FOR THE CABIN AIR FILTER RIGHT NEXT TO A LARGE GAP IN THE COWL MEANT TO COVER IT. THAT DESIGN ALLOWS A RODENT, LIKE A MOUSE, UNINHIBITED ACCESS TO THE VEHICLE CABIN WITHOUT ANY NEED TO DAMAGE OR CHEW THE COWL TO GET IN. I SUPPLIED FOIL TAPE AND ALUMINUM SCREENING TO CORRECT THE FLAW, BUT I HAD TO PAY A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT FOR THE LABOR TO DO SO. I FILED A DISPUTE WITH HYUNDAI USA AND IT WAS DECLINED, MEANING THEY THOUGHT IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT THEIR DESIGN OVERSIGHT. IF I DID NOT SEE THE MOUSE UNTIL AFTER I WAS ON THE ROAD, THE CONSEQUENCES COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A WALL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED MUCH LATER THAN THE CRASH OCCURRED AND CAUSED HIM TO SUFFER BLEEDING TO THE BRAIN AND A BROKEN NOSE DUE TO MAKING CONTACT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 33,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

DURING ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AT DEALER, MECHANIC SAID THE REAR BRAKES WERE RUSTED SO BAD THAT THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED. GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW AND ONLY DRIVEN 1300 MILES IN TWO YEARS IT WAS ASSUMED THAT THE REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY; BUT NO, BRAKES AREN'T COVERED. CAR WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER SHOP, THEY CONFIRMED THE REAR BRAKE PARTS WERE BADLY RUSTED AND WERE CAUSING THE BRAKES TO DRAG. IT SEEMS THAT THE REAR ROTORS ARE MADE OF AN INFERIOR MATERIAL THAT IS PRONE TO RUSTING IN SNOW BELT STATES WERE LOTS OF SALT IS USED IN THE WINTER. *TR

SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR LATE FEB. 2011 (AFTER THEY RELEASE THE NEW MODELED CARS IN THE LAST DAYS OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR)...I HAVE COMPLAINED AND INQUIRED ABOUT AN OCCURRENCE THAT HAPPENS WITH THE BRAKES ON OCCASION THAT SEEMS TO BE TRIGGERING: VSM, ESC, TCS, ABS, BRAKE ASSIST AND/OR EBD SAFETY SYSTEMS UNDER NORMAL ROAD, TEMPERATURES, SPEEDS, BRAKE PRESSURE. THERE HAS BEEN AT BRAKE DELAYS, VERY LOUD GRINDING NOISE, AND AT TIMES PROVIDED A VIOLENT PUSH BACK AND PUMPING UNLIKE ANY NORMAL ABS SYSTEM AND THOSE TIMES WERE FEW BUT AGAIN UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS NO SUDDEN BREAKING. THE GRINDING SOUNDS AND FEELS A BIT LIKE A SECOND AFTER YOU APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE AN ANCHOR DROPS ON THE ROAD AND BOUNCES AND GRINDS AGAINST MENTAL AND THE PAVEMENT. IT FEELS LIKE AN EMPTY BRAKE PAD (BUT IS NOT) AND STOP AS IF ONE ALSO. HOWEVER NOT ALL THE TIME AND WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NORMAL IT FEELS SAFE. HOWEVER, IT HAPPENS EVEN SLOWLY PARKING IN MY FLAT SMOOTH DRIVEWAY SOMETIMES (NO SAND I CHECK EVERYTIME). I HAVE AVOIDED MANY ACCIDENTS JUST BARELY WHEN THIS IS TRIGGERED AND IT MOST OFTEN CAUSING DOUBLE THE STOPPING TIME. I END UP INTO THE INTERSECTING STREETS BEYOND A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT BY ABOUT HALF A CAR LENGTH. IT DOESN'T ALWAYS KICK IN RIGHT AWAY WITH BRAKE PRESSURE BUT TRIPS IT UP A SECOND LATER AND YOU HAVE TO ALMOST TRICK THE BRAKE AND STEERING TO GET CONTROL AND STOP IN TIME. THERE HAS BEEN TOO MUCH OF A PROCESS IN AN EFFORT TO CORRECT IT, OTHER ISSUES FOUND, AND MULTIPLE ACCIDENT CAUSED FROM IT ONE OF WHICH CAUSE A HOSPITAL VISIT AND AN INJURY LEAVING ME WILL A HEMATOMA AND CROOKED SMILE STILL. I NEED HELP AND MORE SPACE TO EXPLAIN. PLEASE EMAIL ME FOR DETAILS. *TR

SAFETY ISSUE DRIVER FLOOR MAT KEEPS GETTING ENTANGLED WITH GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS. THE HOOKS DESIGN BY HYUNDAI FOR THERE 2011 SONATA FAILS TO KEEP THEM IN PLACE. *UPDATED 12-20-12 SMCH *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCLERATED AND CRASHED INTO A LIGHT POLE. THE CONTACT WAS SEVERELY INJURED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FILTER AND MICE ISSUES *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED MICE WERE FOUND IN THE TRUNK TWICE, LAST MONTH. THE DEALER STATED THEY ENTERED THROUGH THE AIR INTAKE, THAT BROUGHT AIR INTO THE A/C AND HEATING SYSTEM. IN THE PROCESS, THEY ATE A FILTER THAT WAS PART OF THE SYSTEM.

WHEN TURNING LEFT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION, THE CAR STALLED. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. THE AIRCONDITIONING WAS STILL RUNNING AND THE CAR WAS OTHERWISE ON BUT IT COMPLETELY STALLED. I HAD TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT APPROXIMATELY 20 FEET AND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN WITH ALL THE SAME CHARACTERISTICS AS BEFORE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. *TR

VEHICLE SPUN AND HIT GUARD RAIL ON INTERSTATE 90 HEAD ON , THEN ALSO ON RIGHT SIDE BUT THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED!!! WE HAD PREVIOUS ACCIDENTS INVOLVING BOTH A 2005 SONATA AND 2007 ELANTRA IN WHICH THE AIR BAGS ALSO FAILED TO DEPLOY. IN FACT, THE INSURANCE COMPANY FOR THE 2005 ACCIDENT SPENT ALMOST $10,000 TO REPAIR THE CAR RATHER THAN TOTAL IT AND SPECIFICALLY STATED TO ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TOTALED THE VEHICLE HAD THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. *TR

I WAS TURNING FROM GAS STATION ONTO ROAD, CROSSING 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC WHEN VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND I WAS NEARLY BROAD-SIDED. ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, AND AC AND RADIO WERE ON, BUT ENGINE HAD STALLED. AFTER CALLING HYUNDAI USA I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, REPORTED AS STALLING AT LOW SPEED AND ROUGH IDLE. HYUNDAI USA REPRESENTATIVE SAID NO PROBLEMS LIKE THIS REPORTED. ALSO SERVICE ADVISER REPORTED NEVER HEARING OF THE PROBLEM WHEN TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP, DESPITE NUMEROUS REPORTS I HAD PRINTED OFF THE INTERNET. IN FACT SAID "WE DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE INTERNET REPORTS AS BEING VALID". *JS

WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IF YOU GO OVER A DIP IN THE ROAD OR A POT HOLE THE LEFT REAR TIRE/SUSPENSION BOTTOMS OUT CAUSING THE CAR TO SWAY OR ALMOST JUMP TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT SIDE. IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE CAR BOTTOMS OUT AND THE WHEEL COMES OFF OF THE PAVEMENT. IT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY. IF I GO OVER A SPEED BUMP AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS THE LEFT REAR SUSPENSION BOTTOMS OUT AND YOU FEEL AND HEAR IT BOTTOMING OUT. IT'S TERRIBLE. THERE IS A DEFECT. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR DO THIS. HYUNDAI SAID THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAVE READ MANY POSTS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER ELANTRA OWNERS. TO HYUNDAI, ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM!!!!!!! *JS

I BOUGHT MY HYUNDAI ELANTRA NEW IN 2011 SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE IT'S BEEN A NIGHTMARE AND I GET VERY LITTLE IF ANY HELP FROM THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING (CAR IS SILENT WHEN I TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, CAR CRANKS BUT WON'T TURN OVER, ENGINE STARTS BUT DIES, CAR DIES WITHOUT ANY REASON). I'VE BROUGHT UP COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP BUT THEY ARE NEVER OF ANY HELP. I RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE THE STARTER REPLACED BUT IT WAS ONLY REPLACED BECAUSE MY CAR ONE DAY WOULDN'T START AT ALL. SINCE THE REPLACEMENT I AM STILL MET WITH MY CAR NOT STARTING AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK IF NOT MORE. YESTERDAY MY SUN ROOF WOULD NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY, IT RETRACTS A FEW INCHES FROM CLOSING, THIS IS NOT NEW TO ME, MULTIPLE INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES, SUCH AS IS OCCURRING NOW - THE SUN ROOF RETRACTING ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ANY VISIBLE REASON. OR WHEN THE GEAR SHIFT IS PUT IN PARK/REVERSE, ETC. SUNROOF WILL TAKE ON A MIND OF ITS OWN. I'M FED UP WITH THIS LEMON OF A CAR AND AS I SEE FROM ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT STARTING ISSUES HYUNDAI NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT - FIGURE OUT THE REASON WHY AND LET US CONSUMERS KNOW. *TR

HYUNDAI MECHANIC, [XXX], CLAIMED THAT THE SHAKING OF THE REAR SUSPENSION IS A "NORMAL" FEATURE FOR ALL HYUNDAI ELANTRAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE "REAR DRIVE TRAIN IS A SOLID PLATFORM NOT INDEPENDENT." THIS WAS THE CERRITOS HYUNDAI'S TECHNICIANS EXACT STATEMENT FOR MY CAR'S MALFUNCTION. I PROVIDED PROPER DOCUMENTATION FROM A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC, ROBERT VELIS FROM RENNSTAR MOTORS, STATING THAT MY HYUNDAI ELANTIC HAS "ERRATIC DIRECTIONAL STABILITY AT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AT SPEED BUMPS." THIS "NORMAL" FEATURE NOT ONLY IS UNSETTLING BUT CAUSES UNDO STRESS TO THE DRIVER CAUSING DISTRACTIONS WHEN DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A ROAD HAZARD, AND I BELIEVE THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS UNSETTLING FEATURE. I AM PRESENTING MY DISTRESS TO YOU SINCE, HYUNDAI WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. "ERRATIC DIRECTIONAL STABILITY" IS NOT A BIG ENOUGH OF A MALFUNCTION FOR HYUNDAI TO TAKE INTO SERIOUS CONSIDERATION. SO, WHO IS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY: THE PURCHASER OR THE MANUFACTURER? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THREE SEPARATE INCIDENTS OVER THREE YEARS BEGINNING IN 2012 AND CONTINUING TO 2015. TWO CRACKED RIMS, THREE SIDEWALL BULGES, RESULTING IN TWO TIRE BLOW-OUTS AND ONE ALMOST-READY-TO-BLOW. CAR HAS LOW-PROFILE TIRES, WHICH COMBINED WITH HYUNDAI STIFF FRONT SUSPENSION RENDERS CAR UNABLE TO HANDLE ANY KIND OF ROUGH ROADS OR POTHOLES. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SKID. THE REAR END SWAYED AND THE ESC WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL AND CONTINUED DRIVING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. IN 2013, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V871000 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL); HOWEVER, THE REMEDY WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE TIRES BLOW OUT OR GET A LARGE BULGE IN THE SIDEWALL. AND THE RIMS ALSO BEND. THE LITTLEST POTHOLE OR BUMP WILL CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. THIS IS BECAUSE OF A POOR DESIGN BY HYUNDAI . THESE LOW PROFILE WHEELS AND TIRES DON'T BELONG ON THIS CAR AS THE SUSPENSION IS WAY TOO STIFF FOR THESE WHEELS AND TIRES. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT BRAND OF TIRE I PUT ON THE CAR THE SAME THING STILL KEEPS HAPPENING.,BLOW OUT AFTER BLOWOUT.THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. SOMEONE COULD GET KILLED FROM THESE TIRES SO EASILY BLOWING OUT. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS THE 17 INCH ALLOY WHEEL WITH THE LOW-PROFILE TIRE NOT HAVING MUCH CUSHION BETWEEN THE ROAD AND THE RIM AND THE REALLY STIFF SUSPENSION. *TR

DROVE THE NEW ELANTRA FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SNOW AND IT WAS HARD TO CONTROL. TRIED NOT TO DRIVE IT THAT WINTER AND THOUGHT WOULD BUY SNOW TIRES THE NEXT WINTER. THAT SUMMER DURING RAINSTORM THE ELANTRA HANDLED POORLY. DISCOVERED PASSENGER REAR TIRE WAS BALD. DEALER CHECKED AND ALIGNMENT WAS WITHIN FACTORY SPECS.???? HELPFUL HYUNDAI MECHANIC AGREED SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND SHIMMIED REAREND FOR BETTER ALIGNMENT. COMPANY PAID FOR TWO TIRES. NOW IT HANDLES GREAT. WONDER HOW MANY ACCIDENTS HAPPENED IN CARS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM. COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW HARD IT WAS TO CONTROL ON A ROAD WITH SLIGHT SNOW COVERAGE. DEALER SAW OTHER CARS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. 2 *TR

VEHICLE SUDDENLY BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER, ESPECIALLY AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN BRAKING, JUST LEFT AND RIGHT OF CENTER. FEELS AS IF THE POWER ASSIST IS EITHER FAILING OR RESISTING - REQUIRES UNDUE EFFORT TO TURN THE WHEEL. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED AND DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE EPS UNIT. PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED, BUT NOW DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. STATES THAT EVEN THOUGH IT IS A COMMON COMPLAINT THEY HEAR ABOUT THIS CAR, AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF IT, IT IS "NORMAL" FOR THIS MODEL. THEY CLAIM THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING, AND THAT IT IS NOT DANGEROUS. HOWEVER, I AM AFRAID IT IS POTENTIALLY QUITE DANGEROUS. *TR

AT 17K MILES, AND MY 4TH OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT HYUNDAI RECOMMENDED THE REAR BRAKES BE LUBRICATED AT 15K MILES TO AVOID FUTURE ISSUES WITH THE CALIPERS/PADS/ROTORS. I FOUND THIS TO BE VERY UNUSUAL BECAUSE THE FRONT BRAKES SHOULD BE DOING MOST OF THE BRAKING ON THESE FRONT WHEEL DRIVE CARS AND THEY ONLY MENTIONED THE ISSUE HAPPENING WITH THE REAR BRAKES. I TOLD THEM IF THIS WAS ACTUALLY TRUE THEN THERE MUST BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AS I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS OCCUR WITH ANY OF THE OTHER FOREIGN CARS WE HAVE OWNED IN THE LAST 10 YEARS. ( 4 HONDA'S, 2 SUBARU'S) THIS DEALERSHIP IS ACTUALLY BEING PROACTIVE IN THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO PREVENT HIGHER FUTURE REPAIR COSTS, THEY MENTIONED THE ROTORS HAVING TO BE REPLACED IF THIS "PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE" WASN'T PERFORMED. HEARING THIS, I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THE FOLLOWING: MANY PEOPLE REPORTING REAR PADS WEARING OUT WAY EARLIER THAN FRONT PADS, BRAKE CALIPERS WERE GETTING RUSTED AND STICKING, EVENTUALLY SEIZING, OVERHEATING THE REAR DISCS AND EVENTUALLY DAMAGING THE ROTORS. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING DEFECTIVE IN THE REAR BRAKING SYSTEM IF HYUNDAI ADMITS THAT THE REAR BRAKES SHOULD BE LUBRICATED AT 15K MILES. BUT NOT THE FRONT BRAKES AND THAT THE REAR BRAKE PADS WEAR OUT FASTER THAN THE FRONT PADS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FLAT TIRE REPAIR KIT THAT CONSISTED OF FIX-A-FLAT AND AN AIR COMPRESSOR FAILED TO REMEDY A FLAT TIRE. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THE FLAT TIER REPAIR KIT WAS A HAZARD SINCE THE VEHICLE DID NOT COME EQUIPPED WITH A SPARE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE HORN FAILED TO FUNCTION WHEN ENGAGED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY WHEN DRIVING AT ANY GIVEN SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE MALFUNCTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000. UPDATED 10/27/11*LJ UPDATED 11/02/11

AT MY NEXT SCHEDULED SERVICE (6K), I AM GOING TO MENTION THIS WHILE MY CAR IS AT THE DEALER, BUT IT'S HAPPENED QUITE A FEW TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT MY 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA IN APRIL. I LIVE IN FLORIDA, AND AS IT'S SUMMER I'VE BEEN USING MY BRAND NEW A/C QUITE A LOT. HOWEVER, WHEN IT IS ON AND I AM AT A STOPLIGHT (ONLY AT A STOPLIGHT OR WAITING AT IDLE WITH THE CAR IN DRIVE), WHENEVER THE COMPRESSOR CYCLES ON/OFF, MY CAR WILL SLOWLY MOVE FORWARD (AND BRAKE PEDAL SINKS A LITTLE). I HAVE TO PUSH ON THE BRAKES EVEN HARDER TO KEEP THE CAR FROM MOVING. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW TIMES WHEN I'VE ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE PEDAL ONLY SINKS AN INCH OR TWO AND IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE A/C COMPRESSOR CYCLES. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERYDAY OR AT EVERY STOP LIGHT, BUT IT HAPPENS AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK DURING MY WORK COMMUTE, AND I FIGURED IT'S WORTH MENTIONING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, THE NOZZLES AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF DEVICE FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY AND AS A RESULT, FUEL LEAKED ONTO THE GROUND. IN ADDITION, FUEL ALSO LEAKED INTO THE REAR TRUNK AREA. THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT PLANNED TO NOTIFY THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE AS WELL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,800.

SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHILE PERPENDICULAR PARKING.

ON 6/27/2011 THE CAR WAS HARD TO START THEN SHUT OFF AS IT WAS BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. THE CAR WOULD NOT START FOR TWENTY MINUTES. THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE CAR AFTER IT WAS TOWED TO THEM AND THE CAR ALMOST STALLED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE DEALER COULD NOT IDENTIFY A PROBLEM (NO ERROR CODES) AND DECIDED TO CHANGE THE FUEL PUMP. ON 7/8/2011 THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THE CAR WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS THE DEALER THINKS THE WIRING HARNESS AND COMPUTER ARE TO BLAME. THE DEALER HAS NOT LOCATED A NEW COMPUTER OR HARNESS AS OF 8/01/2011. THIS ELANTRA ALSO HAS HAD FIVE INCIDENCES WITH THE TRANSMISSION LOCKING IN EITHER DRIVE OR PARK. WE WERE TOLD TO JUST STICK A SCREW DRIVER IN THE FRONT OF THE TRANSMISSION CONSOLE AND HIT THE RESET SWITCH. THE DEALER HAS MADE ONE FAILED ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING A BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. THE DEALER HAS SINCE REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH FOR THE SECOND TIME, NOT SURE IF IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. WE ONLY HAD THE CAR BACK FOR A SHORT TIME.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TWO DIFFERENT CONTINENTAL CONTIPRO CONTACT TIRES SIZE: 215 45 R17 DUE TO SIDEWALL DAMAGE. (BUBBLES ON SIDEWALLS). CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW 6 MONTHS AGO AND ONLY HAS 6,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN FIRST TIRE NEEDED REPLACED CAR HAD ABOUT 3,000 MILES. THAT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT. THE ONE THIS WEEK WAS THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 27 YEARS. AND PRIOR TO THIS HAVE ONLY HAD ONE TIRE WITH A PROBLEM THE SIDEWALL AND THAT WAS OVER 20 YEARS AGO. AGAIN, SECOND TIRE NEEDING REPLACED FOR BUBBLES ON SIDEWALL ON A 6 MONTH OLD CAR WITH 6,000 MILES. TIRE DEALER SAID THEY SEE ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE "45" TIRES. THESE TIRES ARE BEING PUT ON MANY BRANDS OF CARS AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT. AS THEY WERE ON MINE. IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE THESE TIRES ARE SAFE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. AS A FAILED SIDEWALL CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS, IF NOT DEADLY. *TR

DRY DAY, NORMAL ACCELERATION, TRACTION CONTROL KILLED POWER UPON ENTERING HIGHWAY TRAFFIC LEAVING US SITTING IN 50-55 MPH TRAFFIC, THEN CLEARED UP, TWICE WITHIN 3 HOURS. ALSO ON SAME DAY, 60 MPH ON A TWO LANE ROAD THE SKID CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND APPLIED THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE PULLING ME INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, I REACTED QUICKLY AND BROUGHT AUTO BACK TO MY LANE AND TURNED OFF SKID CONTROL. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE.FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC. THE SKID CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON THEN WENT BACK OUT BOTH TIMES. ONE FAILURE SEEMED TO BE THE TRACTION CONTROL, THE OTHER WAS THE SKID CONTROL. I SUSPECT A BAD WHEEL SPEED SENDING UNIT. SO FAR THE DEALER HAS FOUND NOTHING. *TR

2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. LAWYER WRITES REGARDING NOTICE OF CLAIM UNDER THE LEMON LAW ON BEHALF OF CLIENTS *TGW THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. WHEN THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO RETRIEVE THE VEHICLE, THE DEALER INFORMED HIM, THEY DAMAGED THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START. THE PROBLEM WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE ECM. THREE MONTHS LATER, THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS WOULD BLINK OFF AND ON RANDOMLY. AS A RESULT, THERE WAS NO WAY FOR THE CONSUMER TO KNOW IF THE OIL PRESSURE, RPM'S, TIRE PRESSURE OR ENGINE TEMPERATURE WERE WITHIN SAFE LIMITS. THE CRUISE CONTROL AND MILES PER GALLON DID NOT WORK EITHER. ALSO, THERE WAS NO WAY TO TELL IF THE ABS WAS WORKING. THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE THE ECM ONCE AGAIN. WHEN THE CONSUMER RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE AGAIN, FROM A DIFFERENT DEALER, HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE WRONG COMPUTER MODULE HAD BEEN INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. APPARENTLY, THE COMPUTER FOR A VEHICLE WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED; WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. ONCE THE CONSUMER LEFT THE DEALERSHIP, THE WARNING LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER AGAIN. *JB

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

2011 Hyundai Elantra. Driver side coil spring fractured. I had both front struts/springs replaced. I have all parts. This is a safety issue as the missing piece can cause the vehicle to lose control. Fortunately mine broke as I entered my garage. As my local dealer could not see my car for 7-10 days, I opted for local repair. I brought my documentation and parts to my local dealer for validation. Before I did anything, I verified that there was a recall on this exact issue (number 15V629000). My VIN did not appear nor was I ever notified of the recall. I then began to chase Hyundai for reimbursement. I will attach my communications with them. Basically I was denied as the VIN was not on the list and I was further told that they do not reimburse for non dealer repairs which is incorrect, as I started my process on their campaign website which addresses reimbursement.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL INTERMITTENTLY AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE HOSE, CAUSING GASOLINE TO LEAK ONTO THE GROUND. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 3,300.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE THE CONTACT WAS SHIFTING INTO DRIVE.

THERE IS SUDDENLY NO THROTTLE RESPONSE AT SPEEDS EXCEEDING 60 MPH REQUIRING THE CAR TO BE COASTED TO SAFETY IF POSSIBLE. AFTER TURNING OFF THE KEY AND RESTARTING, THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE GONE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 DAYS IN A ROW FOR ME. *TR

BRAKES ON MY 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA IN A EMERGENCY, PULL HARD TO THE RIGHT . CONSUMER AFFAIRS SAID THE BRAKES WERE OK AS LONG AS I DO NOT STOP QUICK. BUT IF I DO, THE CAR WILL PULL QUICKLY TO THE RIGHT AND DIP WHICH PUTS THE CAR IN THE NEXT LANE OF TRAVEL. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM.

CAR DEALERS ARE ALLOWED TO SELL NEW CARS WITH NO SPARE TIRE OR JACK. I ASSUME THIS IS TO INCREASE THE POTENTIAL GAS MILEAGE FOR ADVERTISING. THEIR POLICY IS TO ONLY INCLUDE A CAN OF AIR WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT WORK WHEN NEEDED. THEY ARE ALSO NOT KEEPING REPLACEMENT TIRES IN STOCK. THIS CAN OF AIR IS A HAZARD TO KEEP IN A CAR IN ARIZONA WHEN THE TEMPERATURES IN THE SUMMER REACH 115 DEGREES. AND WITH THE DEALERSHIP NOT STOCKING THE TIRES, MY CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND STRANDS THE MOTORIST. *TR
