2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A STORE PARKING LOT AND WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP. MY FRONT SUSPENSION COLLAPSED. LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO A CAR REPAIR PLACE AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT THERE THROUGH BURNING RUBBER AND INCREDIBLY LOUD NOISE. I BOUGHT THE TIRES A MONTH PRIOR. WHOLE FRONT SUSPENSION WAS REPLACED.

I BOUGHT USED CAR WITH AIR BAG LIGHTS ON. NO ACCIDENT ON THE CAR AND AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. I CHECKED WITTH MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE CHECKED AND TOLD ME SENSOR ON PASSENGER FRONT SEAT IS BAD AND NEED TO REPLACE SEAT

CHANGED OIL AND BRIGHT GOLD LOOKING METAL FLAKES ARE IN THE OIL. MECHANICS SAY THEY ARE PARTS OF THE MAIN BEARINGS. ENGINE IS GOING TO BLOW UP. 62,303MILES

BOTH VISORS - MECHANISM INSIDE EXPLODED NOW VISORS STUCK IN ODD POSITION WHERE DOES NOT BLOCK SUN AND HITS YOU IN THE FOREHEAD IF YOU HAVE AN ACCIDENT IT WOULD KILL YOU .. THIS IS DEFECT IN PLASTIC MECHANISM THAT HOLDS THE VISOR .. I CAN SEE ONLINE THOUSANDS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.. DEFECTIVE MECHANISM IN VISOR.,

2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR MAT DAMAGES AND UNABLE TO LOCATE REPLACEMENT. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR MAT WAS BADLY WORN. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THE MATS CAN NOT BE SOLD SEPARATELY. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THAT WAS UNACCEPTABLE. *JS

ALL OIL CHANGES FOR THIS CAR HAS BEEN DONE AT A DEALERSHIP SINCE MY STEPFATHER BOUGHT THIS CAR. UPON HIS DEATH, THE CAR HAD 111,000 MILES WHEN THE TITLE WAS TRANSFERRED TO ME. COLD WEATHER WAS APPROACHING AND I WANTED TO GET AN OIL CHANGE DONE. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT GET ME IN FOR A WEEK AND EVEN CANCELLED AN APPOINTMENT I HAD TO I WENT TO EXHAUST PRO. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GOT TO 20 BELOW ZERO WIND CHILL THE ENGINE STARTED TICKING. I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM CHANGE OIL BUT THE TICKING PERSISTED. I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ABOUT TICKING NOISE AND WAS INFORMED THERE ARE METAL SHAVINGS IN OIL AND ENGINE NEEDS REPLACED COSTING $9400. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2012 AND 2013 ELANTRA BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN DONE LIKE THE SONATA. I FEEL THAT HYUNDAI SHOULD REPLACE THE ENGINE AT NO COST TO ME. IT MAY NOT BE UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE BUT HYUNDAI KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND NOT THE CONSUMER.

MY STEERING IS LOOSE AND THE WHEEL CLUNKS AND RATTLES. SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL WILL COME RIGHT OFF. I CAN HIT THE SLIGHTEST BUMP AND IT WILL RATTLE AND SHAKE LIKE I RAN OVER A HUGE POT HOLE. ALSO, WHEN I'M DRIVING THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN AND WHINE LIKE I HIT THE BRAKES EVEN WHEN I DIDN'T. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED WHEN I HIT THE GAS BUT THE CAR DECIDED IT WANTED TO SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN A FEW SECONDS LATER. THERE IS SOMETHING TERRIBLY WRONG HERE. THE ENGINE IS ALSO MAKING A TICKING/KNOCKING NOISE WHEN WARMING UP. THIS HAPPENS DAILY.

WHEN THE WEATHER GOT COLD THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE BLOCK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AND TO CONTACT HYUNDAI SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2012 ELANTRA. FYI: THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER HAS COME ON FOR THIS PROBLEM.

THE POWER TRAIN DOES NOT SHIFT AT TIMES, STICKS IN 3RD GEAR, POPS IN AND OUT WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30 AND 35 MPH.

MY VEHICLE WAS IN CAR ACCIDENT ON 2/13/18, WAS HIT WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET WITH SUCH A FORCE THAT THE CAR WAS PUSHED ACROSS MEDIAN STRIP ONTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHICH THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY?
