2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE PARKED IN GARAGE. VEHICLE WAS NOT RUNNING AND HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR OVER 5 HOURS. FIRE ORIGINATED IN THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

THE CAR WILL NOT START DESPITE THE BATTERY BEING CHARGED AND NO APPARENT ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE WHICH LEFT ME STRANDED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A RANGE SWITCH ISSUE. I DO HAVE A DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY; THIS SHOULD BE COVERED; HOWEVER, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!

SEVERE ENGINE KNOCKING FOR OVER 12 MONTHS WHEN STARTING VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS STORED IN AN ENCLOSED GARAGE YEAR ROUND. KNOCKING OCCURS NO MATTER THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE. THE VEHICLE SEIZED UP AND WAS TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO MAKE REPAIRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA TOURING. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, AN ABNORMAL TICKING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE NOISE WAS PERSISTENT.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE PISTONS WERE CAUSING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000. *BF *JB

THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF REGULARLY FOR SOME DAYS, THEN FINALLY IT STAYS ON PERMANENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL LIGHTS DOESN'T COME ON WHEN I TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS. THE CAR BOUNCES AND SWAY TO THE SIDE EACH TIME I HIT A POTHOLE NO MATTER HOW SMALL THE POTHOLE IS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE COIL SPRING SNAPPED ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AND WAS DRAGGING AGAINST THE INSIDE OF THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,700.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE EMERGING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED WIESNER HYUNDAI (1645 INTERSTATE 45 N #400, CONROE, TX 77304, (936) 523-6300) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY AND TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD LESS THEN A MILE FROM HOME. I HEARD A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND AND SEEN A PART OF MY COIL SPRING BOUNCING ACROSS THE ROAD IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE COIL SPRING ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THIS CAR AS AT ANOTHER TIME WHEN PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT THE COIL SPRING BROKE OFF AND PUNCTURED THE TIRE.

RATTLING/KNOCKING NOISE WHILE CAR IS RUNNING, INCREASE IN NOISE AS YOU ACCELERATE.

ENGINE TICKING AT IDLE AND ACCELERATION. HAD LIFTERS REPLACED AND OIL PUMP COSTING $1500. ENGINE CONTINUED WITH TICKING NOISE. BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHICH IS 2.5 HOURS AWAY. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW MOTOR. HYUNDAI HAS DECLINED THE REQUEST RELATED TO MILEAGE AND TIME. REALLY. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 79,000 MILES ON IT. HYUNDAI CURRENTLY HAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT RELATED TO THE TICKING NOISE. HYUNDAI KNOWS THAT THE ENGINES ARE FAULTY BUT REFUSE TO PUT OUT A RECALL. HOW CAN YOU LET HYUNDAI CONTINUE TO RESELL THESE CARS. THIS IS BASICALLY FRAUD. HYUNDAI ELANTRAS FROM 2011-2016 WITH THE 1.8L ENGINE ARE THE ONES AFFECTED. HYUNDAI DOESN'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A MOTOR GOING WITH ONLY 79,000 MILES ON IT. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING TO MAKE HYUNDAI ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR FAULTY PRODUCTS. TAKE THE VEHICLES WITH THE 1.8L OFF THE MARKET.
