2015 Hyundai Elantra Complaint Log

PAINT IS PEELING, FIRST TIME WAS ON THE FRONT ROOF AND THE MOST RECENT WAS ON THE TOP OF THE DECKLID SEE PHOTO ATTACHED. LOCAL DEALER IS UNSURE IF IT FALLS UNDER WARRANTY SO I HAD TO TAKE IT TO A PAINTSHOP OUTSIDE THE DEALER TO GET IT REPAINT. THE PAINT REPAIR TECHNICIAN SAID THAT HAPPENS WHEN SHEETMETAL GETS CONTAMINATED PRIOR TO GETTING PAINTED. SEE PHOTO ATTACHED. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN PAINT PEELED OFF. IT STARTS LIKE A BLISTER THEN PEELS OFF.

2015 HYUNDAI ELANTRA LIMITED (I BOUGHT NEW-ONLY OWNER). COLOR IS PEARL WHITE AND THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF ON HOOD AND ROOF. THE CAR LOOKS TERRIBLE. I HAVE A 1996 MAZDA PROTEJE AND A 2005 HONDA CRV AND THEY BOTH LOOKS BETTER THAN MY 2015 HYUNDAI. VERY UPSET WITH HYUNDAI THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THE PAINT.

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY DAUGHTER BACK TO COLLEGE THIS JANUARY (2020) MY HUSBAND AND I BOTH NOTICED THAT THE STEERING ON HER 2015 ELANTRA WAS STICKING. WE ONLY NOTICED IT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT SEEMED TO BE FINE AT LOWER SPEEDS AND WHILE WE WERE DRIVING IN TOWN ONCE WE GOT TO HER SCHOOL. BUT IT WAS REALLY BAD ON THE HIGHWAY, ESPECIALLY ONCE THE CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN FOR 10 MINUTES OR SO. IT WOULD DRIVE STRAIGHT, BUT AS SOON AS THERE WAS ANY KIND OF GRADUAL CURVE IN THE ROAD IT WOULD STICK IN THE STRAIGHT POSITION AND NEED EXTRA FORCE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO FOLLOW THE ROAD. THAT WOULD RESULT IN OVER TURNING THAT NEEDED CORRECTING BACK. THIS SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS. I CANNOT BELIEVE WITH THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ONLINE THAT THIS ISSUE DOES NOT AT LEAST HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN ATTACHED TO IT.

THE PAINT HAS STARTED TO CHIP ON MULTIPLES OF THIS VEHICLE. IN THE SAME EXACT SPOTS.

SMALL CONNECTER, BETWEEN THE BRAKES AND THE BREAK LIGHT SWITCH INDICATOR, MADE OF PLASTIC WORE AWAY. RESULTED IN THE BREAKS GOING ALL THE WAY AND CAUSING THE BREAK LIGHTS TO STAY ON, EVEN WHEN CAR IS OFF.

ELECTRIC PROBLEM : WHEN CAR COOLS OFF ,SITS IN HARD RAIN FOR NUMEROUS HOURS OR OVERNIGHT ,THERE IS A PROBLEM AFTER RESTARTING. NEITHER THE HEADLIGHTS NOR WINDSHIELD WIPERS OR AIR BLOWER WORKS UNTIL THE CAR IS FULLY WARMED UP AND DRIVEN FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR ALL ARE ONGOING. SUSPENSION PROBLEM : A WHILE BACK THERE WAS A RECALL ABOUT A FRONT SPRING , NO DETAILS,INCLUDING 2015 HYUNDAI ELANTRA'S WHEN THE CAR SITS OVERNIGHT, IS STARTED, IT WILL EMIT A CREAKING / RATTLING SOUND FROM THE FRONT , TRAVELING OVER A SERIES OF BUMPS , THEN DISAPPEARS . *TR

AIR BAG DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING WITH OUT IMPACT.

ON NOV 8TH 2019 I WAS T-BONED ON MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE, BY A DRIVER THAT RAN THEIR RED TRAFFIC LIGHT. MY LIGHT WAS GREEN AND I WAS IN MOTION THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING THE TIME OF IMPACT. I HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL IN AN AMBULANCE BECAUSE OF INJURIES. AS I READ COMPLAINTS THOUGH, I SEE PEOPLE AIRBAGS ARE DEPLOYING WITHOUT IMPACT.

THE VEHICLE ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING AROUND 80,000 MILES. AT 101000 MILES THE ENGINE HAD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD TERRIBLE LOUD KNOCKING AND CRUNCHING NOISES WITH VERY LITTLE POWER. THIS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 70MPH. THE KNOCKING ISSUE HAD BEEN BROUGHT UP SEVERAL TIMES TO ALLEN TURNER HYUNDAI IN PENSACOLA, FL AND IGNORES. THE SERVICE STAFF TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS NOT GETTING THE OIL CHANGED (I STOPPED GOING TO THEM BECAUSE OF THEIR TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE). ONCE I PRODUCED RECEIPTS PROVING THEM WRONG THEY SAID THAT I WASN'T GETTING IT CHANGED OFTEN ENOUGH EVEN THOUGH I GOT IT CHANGED ACCORDING TO THE TIME FRAME THEY TOLD AND WHAT WAS STATED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. THEY EVENTUALLY AGREED TO FIX IT FOR $500 AFTER HAVING TO GET LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS WITH EVERYONE UP TO THE GENERAL MANAGER. IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST STRESSFUL SITUATIONS I'VE EVER HAD. THE VEHICLE STILL HAD $10,000 OWED ON THE LOAN. EVEN AFTER THE ISSUE WAS CORRECTED THE CAR NEVER GOT BACK TO WORKING WELL AT ALL. TO GET RID OF IT I HAD TO LEASE A VEHICLE FOR NEARLY $600 A MONTH TO RID MYSELF OF THE NEGATIVE EQUITY. BUYER BEWARE

THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA WAS STATIONARY AND HOOKED UP TO JUMPER CABLES TO JUMP A DEAD CAR. THE ELANTRA WAS RUNNING TO ALLOW THE OTHER CAR TO CHARGE. THE FUSE BOX ON THE ELANTRA CAUGHT FIRE WHICH SPREAD TO THE JUMPER CABLES AND TO THE OTHER CAR. THERE WAS MUCH MORE DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR OF THE ELANTRA THAN THERE WAS TO THE OTHER CAR, WHICH ONLY HAD MINOR COSMETIC BURNING. THE FIRE STARTED IN THE ELANTRA AND THE DAMAGE HAS NOT YET BEEN ASSESSED.

2015 ELANTRA-ENGINE KNOCK/TICKING ON STARTUP. CURRENTLY WITH EVERY START. VEHICLE HAS 53000 MILES. QUIETS DOWN SLIGHTLY WHEN NORMAL OPERATING TEMP IS REACHED. MORE PRONOUNCED UPON ACCELERATION AND LESS WHEN COASTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL AMOUNT OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST TIP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER SANSONE HYUNDAI (90-100 US-1, AVENEL, NJ 07001, (888) 566-5311) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT FAILURE WAS DUE TO OIL DEPOSITS BLOCKING THE VALVES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

I STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND WENT TO MOVE UP A FEW FEET. I TOUCHED THE GAS PETAL AND THE CAR FLEW INTO THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY WITH THIS FRONT END COLLISION. I WAS ON A 4 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY IN 5 O'CLOCK TRAFFIC. NO RAIN. I AM UNSURE IF IT WAS THE GAS PETAL OR SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE GAS LINE ITSELF

WE JUST BOUGHT THE CAR TWO MONTHS AGO FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP. MY SON WAS DRIVING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS FLASHED ON THE CAR AND THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A CAR DEALERSHIP NEARBY AND THEY LOOKED AT THE ENGINE AND SAID THAT THE ENGINE LOCKED. ALSO, WHEN YOU OPEN UP THE HOOD OF THE CAR THERE'S ALSO OIL ON THE INSIDE OF THE HOOD OF THE CAR.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH TRYING TO KEEP THE CAR DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE HIGHWAY. AT "IN TOWN SPEEDS" IT SEEMS FINE. IT FEELS AS IF THE STEERING WHEEL GETS STUCK IN PLACE OR LOCKED UP. THE CAR WANTS TO ALWAYS GO EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT, WHICHEVER WAY THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED TO SLIGHTLY. I THOUGHT THAT IT MAY BE THE TIRES SO I HAD THEM ROTATED, NO CHANGE. I BOUGHT NEW TIRES, STILL NO CHANGE. I HAD THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED AND ALL STEERING AND SUSPENSION ITEMS VISUALLY INSPECTED AND ALL WAS FINE. IT HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, AND NOW IS TO THE POINT WHERE I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH TODAY TO SEE IF OTHERS HAD RUN INTO THIS ISSUE FOR A POSSIBLE SOLUTION. WOW WAS I SURPRISED TO SEE HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. I THEN CAME TO YOUR SITE AND ENTERED MY VIN AND FOUND THAT THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE. AS I WAS READING ON I FOUND WHERE TO ENTER A COMPLAINT HERE SO I AM DOING SO IN HOPES TO HAVE A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM THAT MANY ARE HAVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND NOTICED AN OIL LEAK. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. A DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,103.

WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR STARTED TO FLICKER AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED AND THE ENGINE OIL AND FILTER WERE CHANGED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. SOUTH BAY HYUNDAI (20433 HAWTHORNE BLVD, TORRANCE, CA 90503, (310) 974-8180) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,659.

THE ENGINE ON MY CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND GET IT STARTED AGAIN. I TURNED AROUND TO GO BACK HOME AND IT STARTED KNOCKING AND STALLED AGAIN. AFTER THAT, IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHO SAID THE ENGINE WAS SEIZED. THEY WERE ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN BUT IT WAS KNOCKING LOUDLY. I ENDED UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE WHICH COST CLOSE TO $6000 FOR A USED ENGINE. I HAD CLOSE TO 127,000 MILES ON THE CAR (I DRIVE 100 MILES PER DAY FOR WORK) AND HYUNDAI WOULD NOT HELP SINCE I AM OUT OF THE WARRANTY MILEAGE.

I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND A DRIVER BEHIND ME INFORMED ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT ILLUMINATE. I CHECKED AT HOME AND THEY DID NOT LIGHT UP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE STOP LAMP SWITCH IN THE VEHICLE IS MALFUNCTIONING.

I T-BONED ANOTHER VEHICLE WHO TURNED ACROSS MY LANE IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 TO 35 MPH AND HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR WITH THE FRONT END OF MINE. NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I INJURED MY NECK DUE TO THAT CRASH. ALSO MY CHILD AND HUSBAND WERE INJURED AS WELL. I AM REPORTING A FAULTY 2015 HYUNDAI ELANTRA AIRBAG. IT DID NOT DEPLOY IN MY CRASH. WE WERE INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT.

CAR USED TO RUN WELL , BUT LAST WEEK STARTED TO MAKE A VERY LOUSY NOISE FROM THE ENGINE , I DONT FEEL SAFE TO USE IT ANYMORE ,ALSO THE CAR DONT HAVE THE SAME PUSH TO MAKE IT RUN I HAVE TO PUSH THE PEDAL ALMOST COMPLETELY BUT STILL IT DONT .IT DONT WORK AS IT USED TO BE

SEEKING TO ACCELERATE AS I MERGED ONTO A HIGHWAY, VEHICLE RPM EXCEEDED 6,000 WITHOUT ACCELERATION. DEPRESSED ACCELERATOR, TRIED AGAIN AND THE ENGINE BACKFIRED. RESULT: BLOWN HEAD GASKET ON VEHICLE WITH ONLY 62,000 KM. I CHANGED THE OIL EVERY 8,500 KM AND HYUNDAI IS DEBATING THE WARRANTY.

ITS A LOUD CRACKLING TICKING NOISE THAT COMES FROM MY 2015 HYUNDAI ELANTRAS ENGINE. WHEN I DRIVE THE THE TICKING TURNS INTO KNOCKING AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY IN MOTION. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE WHAT THIS ISSUE COULD BE. I'VE READ COUNTLESS STATEMENTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A URGENT MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO FIXED IMMEDIATELY.

CAR IS STALLING AND ENGINE TURNS OFF WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS HEAVY TRAFFIC. HAVE TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND RESTART. ALL INDICATORS ON DASH TURN ON SUDDENLY AND ENGINE SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS OCCURRED REPEATIDLY WHENEVER I AM IN TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY

I WAS ON THE WAY TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO HER SISTER'S HOUSE, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE WE WERE STOPPED BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY. SO, I HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK OR NEUTRAL, AND TURNOVER THE CAR ONCE I TURNED IT OFF FOR A MOMENT.

I BOUGHT MY 2015 HYUNDAI ELANTRA FROM THE CARMAX IN OAK LAWN ILLINOIS IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018 AND SINCE THEN I'VE EXPERIENCED A FEW PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE AND CARMAX IS ONLY TELLING ME THAT IT WAS A PLASTIC BAG ON THE EXHAUST PIPE AND THAT IT WILL BURN OFF ON ITS OWN. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THEM ON APRIL 17, 2019 AND TODAY IS MAY 14, 2019 AND I'M ALMOST POSITIVE THAT IT DOESN'T TAKE A WHOLE MONTH FOR A BAG TO BURN OFF AN EXHAUST PIPE. ALSO I HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY BRAKE SYSTEM, WHEN I BRAKE THE CAR ACTS LIKE IT'S STALLING AND IT MAKES A CLICKING NOISE AS IF THE CAR IS ON ICE AND THE EXTRA BRAKE IS HELPING THE VEHICLE TO STOP. I KNOW THIS ISN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN THIS WAY. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN THAT TRAVEL IN THIS VEHICLE EVERYDAY AND I CAN'T DRIVE A FAULTY VEHICLE AND SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THEM WHILE DRIVING IT.

VERY LOUD TICKING NOISE FROM ENGINE. WOULD NOT STOP WHEN CAR WAS WARMED UP AS I WAS ORIGINALLY TOLD BY THE DEALER IN THE FALL OR 2018. CONTINUALLY GOT LOUDER AND LOUDER AND I KNEW IT WAS NOT RIGHT. TOOK TO DEALER HAVE BEEN TOLD NEEDS A BRAND NEW ENGINE. FAULTY PISTONS.

VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A STOP WITH FOOT STILL DEPRESSING BRAKE PEDDLE. BRAKES RELEASED AND CAR SURGED FORWARD HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED BEFORE LUNGING FORWARD ON SOUTHBOUD EXIT 185 OF I95 IN BANGOR MAINE04401

ENGINE BEGAN KNOCKING AT VERY LOW MILEAGE. KNOCK WAS APPARENT WHILE STATIONARY, DRIVING, ACCELERATING. ENGINE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. IF ENGINE HAD FAILED DURING OPERATION IT WOULD HAVE CREATED A DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION.

I WAS IN MOTION ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS AND THE VEHICLE WOULD MAKE AN AWFUL TICKING AND GRINDING NOISE AND THEN STALL. I LOSE STEERING AND BRAKES AND HAVE BEEN IN TOO MANY CLOSE ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS. I HAVE KIDS AND THIS IS NOT SAFE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THERE ARE NO DASH INDICATORS ON NOR ANY CODES COMING UP WHEN SCANNED. I READ ABOUT THIS FROM OTHER PEOPLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THE SCARIEST TIME WAS WHEN I WAS GOING DOWN A STEEP HILL, CARS IN FRONT AND BACK OF ME. MY CAR STALLED AND WITH NO POWER STEERING AND NO BRAKES I BARELY MANAGED TO SWERVE AROUND THE CAR IN FRONT, DODGE THE ONCOMING CAR IN OTHER LANE, I THEN HAD TO GO INTO AN INTERSECTION PRAYING TO GOD THAT NO OTHER CARS WERE COMING THRU AT THE SAME TIME AND THEN MANAGED TO PULL OVER. DID I MENTION MY KIDS WERE IN THE CAR!!!! PLEASE RECALL THESE CARS FOR STALLING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

VEHICLE WAS MAKING A "TICKING" SOUND. GETS LOUDER AS YOU ACCELERATE. TOOK VEHICLE TO MECHANIC - ADVISED PISTONS/ENGINE ARE CAUSING SOUND TO CONTACT HYUNDAI DEALER AS THERE HAS BEEN MANY ISSUES WITH THE CARS ENGINES. CAN DRIVE THE CAR AT THIS TIME, WAITING ON DEALER TO RESPOND AND HOPE ENGINE DOESN'T BLOW UP ON ME. CAR ONLY HAS 55,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD ABNORMAL NOISES COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. BILLION AUTO HYUNDAI (3401 W 41ST ST, SIOUX FALLS, SD 57106) DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS RETURNING HOME THIS AFTERNOON AND MY WIFE'S HYUNDAI ELANTRA WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS LIT. I FIGURED MY WIFE HAD LEFT HER LIGHTS ON AND LOOKED IN THE CAR TO SEE THEY WERE OFF. I STARTED THE CAR AND PRESSED THE BRAKE A FEW TIMES BUT THE LIGHTS REMAINED ON SO I THOUGHT THE SWITCH HAD GONE BAD. MY WIFE WATCHED AS I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH MANUALLY AND THE SWITCH WORKED BUT THE PEDAL DID NOT COME FAR ENOUGH BACK TO DEPRESS THE SWITCH AND I SAW ONLINE THAT A PAD WAS SUPPOSED TO BE PRESENT BUT WAS MISSING. I FOUND RECALLS FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS MENTIONING AN ISSUE WITH PAD DETERIORATION AND FIGURE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE HAPPENING TO THIS MODEL AS WELL.

MY ENGINE BEGAN MAKING A CLICKING NOISE IN JANUARY 2019. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT AND THE BATTERY LIGHT ALL WOULD START FLASHING WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND MY ENGINE WOULD DIE. I TOOK IT TO MY CAR DEALERSHIP, WHO SAID THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT, BUT THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY SO THEY ARE REPLACING IT. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND NOTICED MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT CARS BUT I DO KNOW THAT AN ENGINE TOTALLY DYING AT 58,000 IS NOT GOOD. THEY DID MENTION THAT THEY WOULD CHECK THE OIL FOR METAL SHAVINGS. I LOOKED THAT UP ONLINE, WHICH HAPPENS WHEN AN ENGINE IS POORLY MADE AND THE MOTORS ARE SCRAPING AGAINST EACH OTHER, PRODUCING METAL SHAVINGS, WHICH THEN GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE ENGINE THROUGH THE OIL. EVERY TIME THE ENGINE DIED I WAS DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET, GOING ABOUT 30 MPH.

2015 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WITH 43,000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR VIBRATES AND SHAKES WHILE IN THE DRIVE OR REVERSE WHEN STOPPED WITH THE DRIVER'S FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE VIBRATION AND SHAKING VARY IN INTENSITY. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE CLEANED DUE TO ROUGH IDLE. I HAD THE SERVICE PERFORMED AND IT HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HYUNDIA NEEDS TO ADDRESS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START INTERMITTENTLY AND WOULD STALL. THE FAILURE LEFT THE CONTACT STRANDED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. WALSER HYUNDAI (8100 LAKELAND AVE N, BROOKLYN PARK, MN 55445, (651) 705-0151) WAS NOTIFIED AND REPLACED THE ENGINE ASSEMBLY, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE ASSEMBLIES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT ASKED FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

"TAKATA RECALL". NOTICE WHEN PRESSING THE BREAKS AND HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD OR MAN HOLE COVER THE BRAKES SEEM TO RELEASE AND SKIP FORWARD LOSING CONTROL TO SOME DEGREE. I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE FIX AFTER INSTALLING BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS BUT IT STILL CONTINUES. I'M CONCERNED WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN DURING THE WINTER IN ICEY ROAD OR SNOW COVERED ROAD CONDITIONS.

I'M WRITING TO INFORM YOU THAT THE SUNROOF EXPLODED I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM SEATTLE, WA TO BELLEVUE, WA TODAY AFTER DROPPING OFF A FRIEND. I WAS SOMEWHERE ON I-90 EASTBOUND IN BETWEEN W MERCER WAY AND THE I-405 INTERCHANGE WHEN I HEARD A LOUD SOUND ABOVE MY HEAD THAT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION ON THE ROOF OF MY CAR. NOT WANTING TO STOP ON THE FREEWAY, I CAME HOME AND STOPPED THE CAR. AFTER GETTING OUT, I NOTICED THAT THE SUNROOF ON THE GLASS WAS SHATTERED AND THERE WAS A BIG HOLE IN IT. BITS OF BROKEN GLASS ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE SLIDING INTERIOR COVER ON THE SUNROOF. LUCKILY THE COVER WAS CLOSED OR THE GLASS WOULD HAVE FALLEN ON ME AS I WAS DRIVING. I WAS VERY TIRED AFTER MY TRIP, SO I WENT TO SLEEP AND TOOK PHOTOS IN THE EVENING. I HAVE TRIED MY BEST TO SHOW HOW THE GLASS HAS EXPLODED UPWARD FROM THE ROOF OF THE CAR. THIS SHOWS THAT IT WAS NOT DUE TO A STONE OR OTHER PROJECTILE LANDING ON THE SUNROOF, AS THAT WOULD HAVE LED TO THE GLASS BEING PUSHED IN NEAR THE CENTER OF THE IMPACT. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I NOTICED THAT THERE WERE OTHER REPORTS OF SUNROOFS EXPLODING SPONTANEOUSLY. I SAW THAT HYUNDAI AND KIA AUTOMOBILES HAD MANY REPORTS OF THIS, AND DECIDED TO REPORT THIS TO YOU. I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF THE DAMAGE AND SHARED MORE PICTURES HERE: HTTPS://1DRV.MS/F/S!AQD1R2WKHCN6IKUNUVI3NVNRMWNGHW

THE CAR STALLS WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP AFTER THE ENGINE HAS WARMED UP FROM DRIVING. STALLS EVERY TIME THE CAR IDLES AFTER WARM UP. CAR IS DRIVE BY WIRE WITH ALL ELECTRONIC GAS PEDAL AND THROTTLE BODY. NO MEANS OF INCREASING THE IDLE SETTING. STALLING CAN BE AVERTED BY KEEPING RIGHT FOOT ON THE GAS AND BRAKING WITH LEFT FOOT. NOT A SAFE WAY TO DRIVE.

1ST TIME THIS HAPPENED 3/15/18 AROUND 2:30-3:00 WE TOOK RIDE TO DAIRY QUEEN IN N L R , HUSBAND DROVE HOME WHEN WE GOT TO THE PARKING LOT IN OUR COMPLEX RIGHT BEFORE PARKING LOT IN FRONT OF OUR BUILDING AFTER TURNING THE CORNER LEFT WHEN THE CAR TOTALLY SHUT OFF. ALL LIGHTS LIT UP ON DASH, AFTER PUTTING IN PARK IT RESTARTED AGAIN AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO OUR APARTMENT PARKING AREA. 2ND TIME THIS HAPPENED WE WERE AT THE LIGHT TO TURN LEFT INTO PROMINADE! 5/13/18 AT 4:20-4:30 WE WERE TURNING INTO THE CHENAL PROMINADE AT THE RED LIGHT WHEN IT STALLED WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND US. MY HUSBAND PUT IT IN PARK RESTARTED THEN LEFT US DRIVE AGAIN.

CAR STALLS WHEN STOPPING OR IDLING IF YOU DO NOT KEEP YOUR FEET ON THE GAS. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN IN THE FIRST 10 MINS OF WARMING UP THE CAR BUT THEN HAPPENS FOR THE REMAINING TIME. I HAVE HAD A TUNE UP, THROTTLE BODY SERVICED, CRANKSHAFT SENSOR REPLACED, AND FUEL PUMP REPLACED. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS FIXED FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS AND NOTHING HAS HELPED.

ON SUNDAY, APRIL 15, 2018, I WAS PREPARING TI MAKE A RIGHT TURN ON MERRIMAC AVE IN NORFOLK VA, ON MY WAY TO CHURCH,, WHEN I HEARD A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE AND LOSS OF STEERING. A CAR WITH NO OCCUPANT WAS SITTING TO CAR SPACES FROM THE CORNER AND MY CAR STRUCK THE CAR. I GOT OUT OF MY CAR AND SAW MY RIGHT FRONT WHEEL LAYING ON THE GROUND AND MY RIGHT FRONT FENDER WAS SMASHED. I CALLED THE POLICE AND AAA. WHEN TRIPLE AAA ARRIVED THE DRIVER SAID THAT MY AXLE WAS BENT. MY AIR BACK DID NOT IMPLOD. THE POLICE CAME AND SO SUMMONS WAS GIVEN, JUST A REPOTR THAT IT WAS A NON-REPORTABLE ACCIDENT. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN A COLLISION SHOP SINCE THAT DAY. THE SHOP CALLED AND SAID THERE WOULD BE A DELAY BECAUSE THE AXLE THE MANUFACTURE SENT WAS DAMAGED!! THE SHOP HAD TO ORDER ANOTHER AXLE . I WENT ON LINE TO DETERMINE IF THIS MODEL HAS HAD OTHER REPORT OF AXLE AND SUSPENSION DEFECTS AND THERE WAS ONE REPORT THAT WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS MINE. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THIS MODEL MAY BE A DEFECTED ? I DID NOT TAKE ANY PICTURES I HAD LOST MY CELL PHONE

ON SUNDAY, APRIL 15,2018, I WAS PREPARING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ON MERRIMAC AVENUE IN NORFOLK VA , ON MY WAY TO CHURCH,WHEN I HEARD A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE AND LOSS OF STEERING. A CAR WITHOUT AN OCCUPANT WAS SITTING TWO CAR SPACES FROM THE CORNER,MY CAR HAD STRUCK THIS CAR. I GOT OUT OF MY CAR AND SAW MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE LAYING FLAT ON THE GROUND AND MY RIGHT FENDER WAS SMASHED. THE POLICE AND AAA WERE CALLED. WHEN THE AAA DRIVER CAME HE STATED THAT MY AXLE WAS BENT. MY AIR BAG DID NOT IMPLOD.THE POLICE CAME AND NO SUMMONS WAS ISSUED. I WAS GIVEN A COPY OT THE POLICE REPORT THAT STATED THAT THE EVENT WAS A NON-REPORTABLE INCIDENT >THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION CENTER SAID THAT THE AXLE WAS BENT.THEY ORDERED ANOTHER AXLE AND THE ONE SENT BY THE MANUFACTURE WAS DAMAGED! . I FEEL THAT THIS CAR MAY BE , THOUGH REPAIRED MAY BE UNSAFE( THE SUSPENSION WAS DAMAGED ALSO I HAVE A COPY OF THE POLICE REPORT AND THE COPY OF THE REPAIR WOK=RK DONE WHICH TOOK OVER 20 DAYS. AM I SAFE IN THIS CAR? I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO UPLOAD , SO I AM GOING TO SEND THIS REPORT IN THE MAIL TO YOU. I HAD SENT A REPORT EARLIER , BUT MY COMPUTER CRASHED AND HAVE NOT BEEN TO USE IT TO SEND ANOTHER FORM ,. SHOULD I CONTACT HYUNDAI? I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO! I AM SENDING THIS REPORT AGAIN BECAUSE I LOST ALL OF MY EMAILS *JS

CAR STALLS WHEN EVER IDLING OR COMING TO A STOP.

CAR BURNS OIL WHICH HAS NOW DESTROYED CATALYTIC CONVERTER. DEALER REFUSES TO CORRECT

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH APPROXIMATELY 35000 MILES ON IT, AND SINCE THAT TIME, ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THERE IS A BRIEF LACK OF RESPONSE FROM THE VEHICLE. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GET UP TO SPEED WHEN MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, OR EVEN WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN ROLLING, AND WHEN I PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL THERE IS A 2-3 SECOND HESITATION FROM THE ACCELERATOR. THIS ONLY HAPPENS ONCE IN A WHILE. DUE TO IT NOT HAPPENING EVERY TIME, IT IS HARD TO DUPLICATE AT THE MECHANIC SHOP FOR TESTING.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BACK IN 2015. SINCE THEN, I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO BE SERVICED BECAUSE MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. MY AIRBAG HAS NOT HAD ANY MAJOR ACCIDENTS.THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 4 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. EVERY TIME I GET THE PROBLEM FIXED, THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON AFTER A FEW MONTHS. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS TO THE SERVICES CENTER EACH TIME AND IT SEEMS AS IF THE ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS NOT BEING RESOLVED. ALSO, I RECEIVED SOMETHING IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE WHICH HEIGHTENS MY CONCERN ABOUT THE AIRBAGS SINCE I WAS HAVING THIS ISSUE BEFORE RECEIVING THIS NOTICE. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT HAPPENED ABOUT A WEEK AGO.

DON'T BUY HYUNDAI CAR. I WAS SO PROUD OF BEING HYUNDAI CAR OWNER WHO HAVE TWO HYUNDAI VEHICLES. HOWEVER, I STARTED TO DISLIKE HYUNDAI. THE REASON IS THE NAVIGATING SYSTEM THAT I GOT INTO. IT POINTED WRONG LOCATION WHILE I AM DRIVING TO GO TO GOLF COURSE WHERE I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO GET THERE. I GOT PANIC IN THE FREEWAY. WHAT IF IT WAS NIGHT TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF FREEWAY? WHAT IF I WAS DRIVING FOR THE VERY IMPORTANT MEETING? I COULD STOP ON THE RAIL ROAD OR THE DANGEROUS PLACE. EVEN MORE I HAD TO DRIVE ONE HAND BECAUSE I HAD TO USE ONE HAND HOLDING THE HANDPHONE WITH MAP APP DIRECTING ME TO THE PLACE. I HAD TO STOP IN THE SIDE ROAD OF FREEWAY. IT WAS SO DANGEROUS. 2015 YEAR ELANTRA WHICH IS KIND BRAND NEW. DEALER SAID NO WARRANTY, HYUNDAI AMERICA SAID NO WARRANTY OR RECALL. I FOUND MANY OWNERS OF HYUNDAI VEHECLE DRIVERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM LIKE ME. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO RESPONSIBLITY FROM HYUNDAI. JUST PAY AND FIX IN THE DEALER. THEY SHOULD COVER THIS BY RECALLING. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT MAY BE MORE DANGEROUS THAN BROKEN BREAK. DON'T BUY HYUNDAI THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE MANUFACTURER. THEY SHOULD GO OUT OF U.S.A IF THEY DO NOT DO ANYTHING FOR THIS PROBLEM.

ON A RECENT TRIP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I NOTICED A BINDING IN THE STEERING WHEEL.WHEN TRYING TO MAKE CORRECTIONS TO THE VEHICLE TRACKING THE STEERING WHEEL TOOK EXCESSIVE FORCE TO MAKE THESES CORRECTIONS.THIS EXCESSIVE FORCE OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS EXCLUSIVELY.THE STEERING IN NORMAL IN TAKE OFF AND CITY DRIVING CONDITIONS.
