2015 WINTER ENGINE STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE TOOK CAR TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD CAR NEEDED A NEW ENGINE LIFTER WAS MAKING THE KNOCKING NOISE I WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY BECAUSE I HAD MY OIL CHANGED AT ANOTHER GARAGE AND THE OIL COULD HAVE BEEN CONTAMINATED.THE KNOCKING STARTED 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO HAVING MY OIL CHANGED.I KNOW ANOTHER PERSON THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND AFTER A BATTLE WITH THE GARAGE THEY REPLACED HER ENGINE AT NO COST.I HAVE HAD MY CAR TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND THEY FELT I SHOULD PURSUE THE MATTER

I FOUND A FLAT TIRE ON MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE YESTERDAY AS IT WAS SITTING STATIONARY IN MY WORK PARKING LOT. (19MAY2016). UPON FURTHER INSPECTION IT WAS FOUND THAT MY WHEEL/RIM WAS CRACKED AND DENTED. I DID NOT HIT A POTHOLE, RUN OFF THE ROAD, HAVE A WRECK, ETC.. SO THERE IS NO REASON IT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

OUR HYUNDAI ELANTRA HAD SUSPENSION PROBLEMS AND HAD TO HAVE THE WHEEL BEARINGS AND DRIVE SHAFT REPLACED, BUT NO ONE EVER TOLD US THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS. A WEEK AGO, ONE OF THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS SNAPPED AND GAVE US A BLOWOUT WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. LUCKILY FOR US, WE WERE ON A SIDE ROAD AND NOT THE FREEWAY. WE BROUGHT IT TO A LES SCHWAB FOR REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS CLOSER. IT WILL TAKE 3 WEEKS FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN, SO I LOOKED IT UP. TURNS OUT THERE WAS A RECALL NOTICE WE NEVER GOT. I DIDN'T TAKE A PHOTO BEFORE WE TURNED IT IN, BUT AM ATTACHING A SERVICE ESTIMATE FROM LES SCHWAB.

AFTER FOUR NEAR ACCIDENTS I FEEL IT'S TIME TO REPORT THE FOLLOWING. I WOULD APPLY THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD TRY TO STOP AND AT THE SAME TIME SPEED UP. WITH NO ANSWER FROM MY DEALER I HAVE HAD TO FIND THE ANSWER MYSELF. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS 4 " WIDE. THE DISTANCE TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ACCELERATOR IS 3 " AND THE ACCELERATOR IS 2" WIDE. I WEAR A SIZE 9 SHOE WHICH IS FOUR AND ONE QUARTER INCHES WIDE. THIS MEANS THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO APPLY THE BRAKE AND ALSO THE ACCELERATOR AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE OF THE ONE AND A QUARTER INCH POSSIBLE OVERLAP. IT WOULD BE VERY EASY TO EXTEND THE BRAKE ARM 2-3 '" TO THE LEFT, UPDATED 05/18/16*LJ

THE REV LIGHT COMES ON AND MY CAR LOSES POWER. I HAVE TEKEN IT TWICE TO AN AUTHORIZED HYUNDAI DEALER, AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT IN THE MAIN DASH CONSOLE STAYING ON. WAS CONCERNED AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN ACCIDENT. HAD VEHICLE SERVICED AT DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TOO TIGHT/DEFECTIVE AND THERE IS A 50/50 CHANCE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. MY VEHICLE JUST WENT OUT OF BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. IF THERE IS ANY QUESTION THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY DUE TO THIS MANUFACTURING ISSUE THEN I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL.
