2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

I HAVE RECEIVE A LEGAL NOTICE FOR OWNERS OF VEHICLES WITH TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS. MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS INDICATE THE EITHER ONE OR BOTH OF MY AIRBAGS ARE NOT WORKING. I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I NEED TO DO NEXT TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

MY STEERING WHEEL MAKES A CLOCKING NOISE THAT TO ME FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE AND I WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME LOOSE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NO LONGER WORK WHICH WOULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ITS NOT COVERED FOR REPAIR NOR IS IT A RECALL WHICH IT SHOULD BE. IDK WHAT TO DO

TAKATA RECALL AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON AND IT SOUNDS LIKE ALLOT OF PEOPLE HAVING SAME PROBLEM. WE LITERALLY TURNED THE CAR ON AND IT LIT UP AND HASN'T SHUT OFF. *TR

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE CAR WHEN MOVING AT A SLOW SPEED, LIKE TAKE OFF AT A SIGNAL LIGHT, THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN. WHILE IN MOTION THE CAR WILL MAKE LOUD NOISE WHEN TAKING OFF SLOW. THE SIR BAG LIGHT IS ON BUT DEALER STATES NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A MONTH. NO ONE CAN SEEM TO TELL ME WHAT IS THE PROBLEM IS OR HOW TO REPAIR IT. I CHECKED GOOGLE FOR THE PROBLEM AND MANY HYUNDAI ELANTRA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I FEEL LIKE I WAS RIPPED OFF AND HYUNDAI ISN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. PLEASE HELP

WHILE DRIVING CITY OR HIGHWAY THERE IS A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND AND AS YOU ACCELERATE IT GETS FASTER AND LOUDER. MY CAR HAS BEEN AT HYUNDAI IN VALLEY STREAM, NY FOR 4 DAYS WITH NO CONCLUSION.

OUR CAR HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY NOT STARTING AND RATTLING. WE IT TOOK TO A HYUNDAI DEALER THREE TIMES IN 9 MONTHS AND PAID OVER $600 BUT EACH TIME THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. FINALLY THE MECHANIC DRAINED THE OIL AND TOOK A MAGNET TO IT. METAL FRAGMENTS WERE PULLED OUT. THE MECHANIC SAID THE CAR NEEDED A NEW ENGINE AS THE RESULT OF A MANUFACTURER DEFECT-SAME AS THE SONATAS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. WE CALLED HYUNDAI TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID SINCE THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY THERE IS NOTHING THEY ARE ABLE TO DO.

WHEN CAR IS IDLING OR WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT THERE IS A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND WHEEL MOVES SLIGHTLY. THIS IS NOT NOTICEABLE WHEN TURNING.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISOR HINGE BROKEN. WON'T STAY UP. HANGS DOWN IN THE DRIVERS FACE AND HINDERS DRIVERS ABILITY TO SEE.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR STALLED. THE TACH READING DROPED TO ZERO, AND ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I TRIED RESTARTING MY CAR. I COULD DRIVE SLOWLY, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON, AND THE TACH READING WAS STILL ZERO. THIS HAPPENED FOR A FEW TIMES --- WHEN I DROVE ON HIGHWAY, ON A LOCAL STREET, AND WHEN I WAITED FOR A LONG LIGHT. IF STARTING AFTER A LONG ENOUGH REST, THOSE SYMPTOMS MIGHT DISAPPEAR TEMPORARILY.

IN MAY MY STEERING COLUMN STARTED MAKING A METALLIC LIKE SOUND EVERY TIME I TURNED IT. THERE IS SOME LOOSE PLAY IN THE STEERING NOW NOTHING MAJOR BUT THE NOISE IS VERY FREQUENT WHEN TURNING.
