2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED WITH MAKING A CLICKING SOUND AND NOW THE STEERING IS PULLING AND QUITE FRANKLY I AM AFRAID THAT MY CAR STEERING COLUMN WILL COME UNDONE AND I WILL HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THIS CAR HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE ISSUES.

AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINS ON, BAGS HAVE NEVER DEPLOYED; KNOWN ISSUE WITH ELANTRAS - HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL?

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND BUTTONS ON STEERING WHEEL NO LONGER WORK. MANY OTHER ELANTRA OWNERS HAVE MADE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO FIX A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAGS AND IT HAPPENED BEFORE I HIT 60000 BUT COULDN'T GET IN UNTIL LATER SO THEY USED THAT TO NOT FIX IT ON THERE ON DIME.

SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. OBD HAS DETERMINED THAT THE DRIVER'S FRONT AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING HAS FAILED. VEHICLE HAS 72,175 MILES. THIS PART IS A KNOWN HIGH FAILURE ITEM AND THE WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 15 YEARS FOR 2011-2013 SONATA, 2011-2014 SONATA HYBRID AND 'CERTAIN' 2011-2014 ELANTRA. THE WARRANTY EXTENSION DOES NOT COVER MY 2013 ELANTRA GT.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BACK IN JANUARY OF 2019 & WHEN I PURCHASED IT THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A CLICKING SOUND. I MENTIONED IT TO THE CAR DEALER & WAS ASSURED IT WAS NOTHING. AFTER HAVING MY OIL CHANGED I WAS TOLD MY STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS QUITE DISHEARTENING AS I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR JUST ONE YEAR & A HALF AT THIS POINT. I WAS TOLD TO RESEARCH FOR RECALLS IN RELATION TO THIS PARTICULAR ISSUES AS IT HAS BEEN REPORTED FOR OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE, MODEL & YEAR. I AM AFRAID MY CAR STEERING WILL GO OUT WHILE DRIVING.

SINCE I OWNING THIS CAR I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ALL LIGHTS. BOTH HEADLIGHT LAMPS HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A DEFECT. ALSO I HAD BEEN REPLACING TAIL, BRAKE, AND TURNING SIGNAL LIGHTS AT EVERY OIL CHANGE BECAUSE ONE OR THE OTHER WILL BE OUT. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THIS MANY BULBS ON ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED. THIS OIL CHANGE JUNE 27, 2020 I HAD 3 BULBS OUT BREAK, TAIL LIGHT AND PARKING LIGHT ALL OUT AT THE SAME TIME. THIS HAS BEEN AND FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE AN ON GOING PROBLEM NOT TO MENTION THE COST EVERYTIME THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEM LIGHT ARE NOT CHEAP. *TR

NOTICED A OIL BASED LEAK UNDER VEHICLE ,HAVE IT INSPECTED THE LEAK IS COMING OUT OF A DEFECTIVE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR ,EMITTING TOXICS FREON AND AC OIL TO THE AIR AND GROUND. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR SAFETY AND POLLUTION. *TR

THE PARKING LIGHT COME ON RANDOMLY. EVEN WHEN THE SWITCH IT TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION. THIS CAUSES THE BATTERY TO RUN DOWN. THE ONLY WAY TO SHUT THEM OFF IS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CABLE. WHEN 1ST NOTICED THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR THREE DAYS. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I FIRST NOTICED IT. SEVERAL OTHER HYUNDAI OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. MOSTLY WITH PARKING LIGHTS , BUT A FEW SAID IT WAS THEIR BRAKE LIGHTS. *TR

THE KEY FOB IS NOT DETECTED (INTERMITTENTLY). WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I AM LEFT STRANDED. MY CAR WILL NOT START. I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERY IN THE FOB WHEN THIS OCCURS AND I HAVE TRIED TO USE MY SECOND KEY FOB. THE PROBLEM STILL IS NOT AIDED. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE FOB UP TO THE START BUTTON, AS SOME VIDEOS SUGGEST. THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES. UPON LOOKING AT FORUMS AND OTHER PLACES ON THE WEB WHERE HYUNDAI CUSTOMERS COMMUNICATE, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG HYUNDAI CUSTOMERS. DURING THIS TIME, THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE. I EVEN GOT THE BRAKE SENSOR REPLACED. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. *TR

I GOT MY CAR BRAKE RELEASE LIGHT FIXED BECAUSE IT WAS RECALLED IN 2018 2 YRS LATER SAME ISSUE BRAKE LIGHT IS STILL ON EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF
