2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE REAR AXLE DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED BEFORE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR AXLE WAS ROTTED AND THERE WAS FRAME CORROSION ON THE REAR SIDE OF THE FRAME. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO RIVERHEAD HYUNDAI (1800 OLD COUNTRY RD, RIVERHEAD, NY 11901, (631) 369-0600) AND WAS ADVISED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY RIGHT FRONT AXLE COMPLETELY CAME OFF THE FRAME. AFTER TAKING IT TO A HYUNDAI MECHANIC I WAS TOLD THAT MY FRAME WAS CORRODED AND THAT CAUSED MY AXLE TO DISLOCATE. I ASKED IF THE REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER THE TT1 CAMPAIGN AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS ONLY FOR PREVENTATIVE MEASURES AND DID NOT COVER REPAIRS.

THE IGNITION IS NO GOOD AND, THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND, HE TOOK FUSES OUT BEFORE THEY COULD GET THE CAR TO SHUT OFF. THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION BUT THE FLASHER LIGHT KEEP COMING ON AND THE THE SPOTTER AND THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE ME THE AUTOMATIC PART OF THE KEY. UNABLE TO START CAR.

THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING PROPERLY THEN ONE DAY THE BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. ALL OTHER VEHICLE COMPONENTS WORK AS INTENDED INCLUDING THE NIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD LIGHTS. I PUT IN NEW FUSES AND REPLACED THE BREAK LIGHTS BUT THE ISSUE REMAINS. ALL THREE BRAKE LIGHTS (LEFT, RIGHT, TOP CENTER) DO NOT WORK.

RAN INTO THE REAR END OF A STOPPED VEHICLE AT OR ABOUT 25MPH - STRAIGHT. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE SEATBELT STOP DID NOT ENGAGE CAUSING DRIVER'S CHEST TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL.

MY CAR SPONTANEOUSLY CATCH FIRE ON ITS OWN. THE CAR PARKED ON MY FRONT YARD FOR AT LEAST 3 HOURS. IT WENT AFLAME, THE WHOLE ENGINE WAS DESTROYED. EVERY THING CAUGHT ON HOME SECURITY CAMERA.

SOLICITO DE FAVOR ME AYUDEN A REALIZAR EN MI VEHICULO LA APLICACION DEL RECALL 11V143000 Y 11V179000, INTENTO COMUNICARME CON EL DISTRIBUIDOR HYUNDAI PERO NO TENGO RESPUESTA.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE I WAS INJURED DUE TO THE FACT THE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY.

BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS HAVE SUDDENLY BROKEN AND FALLEN DOWN EITHER COMPLETELY OR PARTIALLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, OBSTRUCTING LINE OF VISION AND BECOMING UNUSABLE. THE BREAK OCCURRED AT THE SAME LOCATION ON BOTH SUN VISORS - THE PLASTIC ROD BROKE JUST ABOVE WHERE THE VISOR IS SCREW MOUNTED ONTO THE CEILING OF THE CAR.

MY STOP LAMP SWITCH FAILED. THE NHTSA SITE SHOWS THAT THERE IS A RECALL HAVING TO DO WITH MY YEAR AND MODEL FOR THE STOP LAMP SWITCH AND OR ASSEMBLY. MINE FAILED, BUT THE DEALER STATES THAT MY SPECIFIC VIN IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. WELL THE PROBLEM IS WIDER THAN REPORTED OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE THE PROOF IS MY SWITCH FAILED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM THE CAR HAD BEEN ON THE DRIVEWAY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN. THE FAILURE MANIFESTED ITSELF RANDOMLY WHILE THE CAR WAS NOT IN USE AND HAD NOT BEEN IN USE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN ON GOING, BUT I MIGHT NOT HAVE NOTICE.
