2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

FOR THE LAST WEEK AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT MY CAR WILL NOT START. I GET IN WHILE ITS PARKED STATIONARY ON THE STREET, TURN THE KEY, ALL THE LIGHTS COME ON, I CAN HEAR THE FUEL PUMP KICK ON, (THERE IS NO CLICK), AND NOTHING HAPPENS. AFTER I REPEATEDLY TURN THE KEY IT HAS BEEN STARTING BUT I AM AFRAID IT WILL JUST NOT START AT SOME POINT. CALLED THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THEY CAR, THEY SAID TO CALL THE HYUNDAI DEALER. CALLED HYUNDAI DEALER, THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WOULD HAVE TO REPLICATE PROBLEM (THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM) THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR WITH THEM, WITH NO CHANCE OF A LOANER (I CANNOT AFFORD TO UBER 26 MILES A DAY). I TOLD THEM ONCE I GET IT STARTED FOR THE DAY, IT USUALLY STARTS RIGHT BACK UP AFTER BEING TURNED OFF. I TOOK A VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM THIS MORNING. IT HAD THE SAME TROUBLE STARTING THIS MORNING WHEN COLD, AND THEN WHEN I GOT TO WORK, 13 MILES AWAY, I TURNED IT OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO START IT, IT DID THE SAME THING (THATS WHY I OBTAINED THE VIDEO OF THE ISSUE). I AM GOING TO HAVE TO BORROW A FAMILY MEMBERS CAR TO DRIVE WHILE THEY DIAGNOSE THIS WIDELY REPORTED PROBLEM THEY HAVE "NEVER HEARD OF". I OWNED A 2007 ELANTRA SINCE IT WAS NEW AND JUST SOLD IT TO BUY THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE.. I NEVER HAD ONE ISSUE IN 13 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY AND RECALL THIS ISSUE.

WITH LESS THAN 22,000 MILES, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND WHEN TURNED LEFT TO RIGHT WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AS TIME WENT ON. I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIRS AND FOUND THAT THE COUPLER HAD BEEN SHREDDED. THIS IS A $5 PIECE WHICH COSTS A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS TO HAVE REPLACED BY AN AUTO SHOP. HYUNDAI SHOULD BE REPLACING THESE, INSTEAD OF ITS CUSTOMERS.

WE WERE DRIVING TO TAKE ONE OF MY KIDS DR APPOINTMENT. WE STOPPED TO GET DRINKS FOR THE ROAD. WE TURNED THE CAR OFF CAME BACK TO LEAVE AND IT WOULD NOT START FIX THE PROBLEM THAT IT SAID AND THAT DIDNT FIX IT. WHEN YOU GO TO START IT IT WANTS TO TURN OVER BUT CANT CATCH EVERYTHING STILL WORKS THE WAY IT SHOULD PISTONS MOVE HAVE POWER TO EVERYTHING,TIMING CHAIN DIDNT JUMP THE SPARK PLUGS STILL ALL GET SPARK.

MY ELANTRAS BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON. MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, EPS LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ARE ALWAYS ON AS WELL. I SEE WHERE MY VEHICLE IS SHOWN THAT THE RECALLS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED ON MY CAR AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IS TRUE OR THIS WOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. MY BRAKES LIGHTS CONSTANTLY BEING ON IS A MAJOR PROBLEM BECAUSE THAT CAN CAUSE CONFUSION ON OTHER DRIVES AND ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M REALLY USING THEM TO SLOW DOWN. I'M ALWAYS HAVING TO CONSTANTLY REPLACE THE LIGHT BULBS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AS WELL WHICH IS ODD. I'M VERY CONCERNED AND FRUSTRATED AND WISH I WOULD RECEIVE ASSISTANCE IN FIXING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN ANY WRECKS WITH MY VEHICLE EITHER. I ALSO HAD SOMEONE CHECK MY CAR FOR ANY CODES AND VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR CAME UP AS WELL AS BRAKE SWITCH.

RADIO AND SOME SENSORS IN ENGINE NOT WORKING. SENSORS SHOW MY ENGINE LIGHT ON BUT WHEN CHECKED SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THE RADIO WILL NOT TURN ON, FUSE WAS REPLACED AND DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THESE PROBLEMS HAPPEN WITH THE CAR IS BOTH STATIONARY AND IN MOTION

PREMATURE WEAR ON INSIDE EDGE OF REAR TIRES. WHEEL ALIGNMENT INDICATES THAT THE REAR WHEELS ARE AT THE HIGH END OF THE SPECIFICATION BUT THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT. ON WET OR ICY ROAD CONDITIONS THE CAR LURCHES FROM SIDE TO SIDE LOSING TRACTION SHIFTING SIDE TO SIDE. TIRES WEAR OUT AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30K MULTIPLE BRANDS HAVE BEEN TRIED. DEALER DID MULTIPLE WHEEL ALIGNMENTS AND EVENTUALLY PROVIDED TWO NEW TIRES BUT NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. I KNOW OF OTHERS WHO HAVE BOUGHT THE SAME YEAR OF VEHICLE AND HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THE LURKING/SHIFTING WHEN DRIVING ON WET OR ICY ROAD IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE TIRE REPLACEMENT ISSUE IS COSTLY AS WELL. REAR TIRES ARE CHAMBERED FROM FACTORY CAUSING THIS ISSUE AND NO ADJUSTMENT CAPABILITIES. THIS SHOULD BE A FACTORY RECALL AND THE REAR AXLE SHOULD BE REPLACED TO PROPERLY ALIGN THE REAR WHEELS. MY FIRST SET OF FACTORY TIRES WHERE EVENLY ON THE FRONT THEY WERE MEASURED AT 8/32 TREAD WHEN THE REAR TIRES WHERE UNEVENLY FROM 8/32 ON THE OUTSIDE TO 0/32 ON THE INSIDE TWO INCHES INTO THE TIRE TREAD. FOUGHT WITH DEAL FIR MONTHS AND MONTHS THEY FINALLY WON AND WORE ME OUT. I JUST STOP GOING TO THEM AND REPLACE MY TIRES AS THEY WEAR OUT. VERY COSTLY AND DANGEROUS FOR OTHERS WHO DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE LURKING/SHIFTING TO DRIVE THIS CAR. THERE ARE NO AFTER MARKET SHIM KITS TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE EITHER. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE AS THE VEHICLE WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS NOT TRACKING PROPERLY WITH NO ADJUSTMENT.

THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNED, IT HAPPENS WHEN IT IS MOVING OR STILL TOO.

MY STEERING COLUMN MAKES AN AWFUL NOISE LIKE A CLICKING NOISE THE WHOLE TIME I'M DRIVING IT REALLY SCARES ME BUT I HAVE TO DRIVE IT BC IT'S MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. NOW MY BREAK LIGHTS ALL THE WAY ACROSS DOESN'T WORK AND IT'S NOT A FUSE.LAST THING IS MY AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALSO WHICH SCARES ME .PLEASE SOME ONE HELP GET THESE ISSUES RESOLVED QUICKLY I'M THE SECOND OWNER SO I PROBABLY HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE RECALLS ABOUT THESE ISSUES.PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME .THANK YOU

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON CAR STARTED TO SKIP TOOK TWO CERTIFIED MECHANIC CHANGE SPARK PLUGS TWO CONDENSERS ENGINE FLUSH AND THE ENGINE START RATTLING ENGINE BROKE LOOSE NOW ENGINE IS DESTROYED OR AFTER A TUNEUP. TOOK BACK IMMEDIATELY AND TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC FOR SECOND OPINION.

JUST BOUGHT THE 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA, 12/21/2019, AFTER ABOUT 100 MILES OF DRIVING WE NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL IS OFF CENTER. WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN AND ON HIGHWAY SHIFTING LANES IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO AND IT WILL PULL HARD LEFT OR RIGHT ALMOST CAUSING TO RUN OFF THE ROAD. 12/25/2019, WHILE ON THE WAY HOME I ALMOST STRUCK ANOTHER CAR. MORE NOTICEABLE FROM 30 TO 55 WORSE OVER 55. DRIVING ON DIRT ROAD FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO FISH TAIL. STEERING IS STICKY YET A LOT OF PLAY. INTERMITTINGLY WHILE BRAKING IT SOUNDS LIKE SCRAPPING LIKE WHEN YOUR BRAKES ARE BAD. BRAKING SLOWLY OR ABRUPTLY MAKES NO CHANGE. WET ROADS IS WORSE WITH BRAKING.
