2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT CAN'T GET POWER SHAKES SLOW TO ACCELERATE FOR HALF A BLOCK THEN ACCELERATION. IT'S HAPPENED 5 TIMES TODAY. OTHER DAYS IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S NOT RUNNING SMOOTHLY AND THEN DOES OK AFTER AWHILE. THIS HAPPENED WITH CAR IN PARK, BACKING UP, GOING FORWARD, 2 DIFFERENT STOPS AT LIGHTS AND 2 MORE STOPS TIL I GOT HOME.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. THE LIGHT IS SUPPOSED TO GO OUT AFTER 6 SECONDS OF THE CAR BEING STARTED. MINE DOES NOT GO OUT AND REMAINS LIT. THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR 15 YEARS FOR THIS ISSUE DUE TO THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDING REPLACED.

THE STEERING COUPLER IN MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WENT BAD AROUND 150,000 MILES... NOW THERE'S A CLICKING SOUND AND 'PLAY' IN THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE HYUNDAI USED AN INFERIOR PART. ONCE I STARTED RESEARCHING I REALIZED IT'S AN INCREDIBLY COMMON ISSUE THAT THE DEALERSHIP WANTS SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THIS SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE REPAIRED UNDER A RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY (WELL BEYOND THE 100K MARK) SINCE THIS IS NOT PART OF NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OR ABUSE.

1-THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME ! 2- THE CAR WAS RECALLED FOR A BREAK ISSUE, SINCE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE PADDLE FEEL LOSER(( I NEED TO PUSH THE BREAK TWO TIMES TO GET THE CLIPPERS WORKS! I HAVE CHANGED THE BREAK CLIPPERS AND THE SAME PROBLEM!!!!

CAR CHUGGED AND SHUT OFF; WAITED AND IT STARTED AGAIN, BUT SINCE HAD TICKING NOISE. DEALER IS SAYING NEW ENGINE NEEDED; STATED HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF THE ENGINE WEARING OUT PREMATURELY AND HYUNDAI IS TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE OUT IF IT IS PAST THE WARRANTY BY PAYING 90% OF THE COST. HYUNDAI SHOULD PAY 100% IF THEY ARE AWARE THAT IT IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. AND THEY SAY IT IS GOING TO TAKE 2-4 WEEKS TO REPAIR.

STEERING CUPLER MAKES A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN TURNING. MY FAMILY MACHINIC STATED THAT THAT THESE CARS HAD A RECALL ON THEM. BUT WHEN CALL DEALERSHIP THEY SAID MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL FOR SAME ISSUE?

RED LIGHT WITH AIRBAG PICTURE STAYS ON IN THE DASH UNDER THE GAUGES. IT COMES ON AND STAYS ON DURING DRIVING WITH SEAT BELTS FASTENED AND EVERYTHING SECURED. MIGHT BE INDICATING SOME SORT OF MALFUNCTION IN SAFETY AIRBAG SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL POPPING SOUND IN THE STEERING. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MCCONNELL HONDA DEALER, (2840 EASTERN BLVD, MONTGOMERY, AL 36116, (334) 271-2500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROUTER CUFF ON THE STEERING WHEEL HAD WORN OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 19,602.

BRAKE LIGHT REPLACED COUNTLESS TIMES ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. IT CONTINUES TO BURN OUT.

THE ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE A TICKING SOUND A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN THE FIRST COLD FRONT CAME IN.
