2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

WAS DRIVING VERY SLOWLY ON COLLEGE CAMPUS LOOKING FOR PARKING SPACE AS I HAVE DONE EVERY TIME I GO TO THE OFFICE FOR 45 YEARS WHEN SUDDENLY THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA ACCELERATED AT VERY HIGH RATE AND ROLLED OVER UPSIDE DOWN. AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND I WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL. WINDSHIELD AND FRONT OF ROOF COLLAPSED FROM ROLLOVER! I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT PRESS DOWN THE GAS PEDAL BY MISTAKE. I AM SURE. THIS COULD VERY LIKELY KILLED ANYONE WALKING OR DRIVING IN FRONT OF THIS CRAZY CAR.

FOR A FEW MONTHS I HAD A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR WHEN MY CAR WAS IDLING ON A CITY STREET FACING DOWNHILL (AT A STOP SIGN). THEN IT GOT SUDDENLY WORSE FOR 2 DAYS, SO THAT IT RATTLED ALL THE TIME WHEN IDLING IN DRIVE OR PARK (STOPPED AT LIGHTS OR SIGNS OR IN A PARKING SPACE). THEN IT COMPLETELY STOPPED RATTLING - AND THE NEXT DAY ANOTHER DRIVER ON THE HIGHWAY, ON THE 4TH OF JULY, NOTIFIED ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS A COINCIDENCE OR NOT.

PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR BECAME DISCONNECTED AND ITS WEIGHT PULLED ITS WIRE OUT 2 INCHES SO THAT IT WOULD NOT GO BACK IN AND WOULD NOT STAY UP ANYMORE. NOW IT IS COMPLETELY OFF AND TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX. MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. WE MAY HAVE TO HAVE IT FIXED WITHOUT HAVING THE ELECTRICAL HOOKED UP TO RUN THE MIRROR LIGHT, WHICH IS REALLY ANNOYING.

I SEE THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS BUT NOT WITH MY VIN#? I WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY TESTED MY BRAKE LIGHTS AND NONE OF THEM WORKED?

I HAVE HYUNDAI ELANTRA .IT SHUT DOWN AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE CAR IN THE SLOW SPPED ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THAT ITS SHOWS THE WRONG LEVEL FOR THE HEAT METER.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND WON'T GO OFF, SO I LOOKED INTO IT AND IT CAN CAUSE THE BAGS TO DEPLOY AT ANY GIVEN TIME OR NOT AT ALL. THIS IS VERY UNSETTLING, AND NOT SAFE. PLEASE RECALL THIS.

WHILE I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD, WEATHER IT BE AT 10MPH OR 55MPH, MY EPS LIGHT AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT WILL TURN ON AND MY CAR WILL STOP. IT WILL NOT TURN OFF UNTIL MY CAR IS STOPPED, TURNED OFF. AND TURNED BACK ON AGAIN. SINCE THE POWER STEERING IS LOST I CAN NOT JUST TURN TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE TO PRAY THAT NO ONE WILL BE COMING UP BEHIND ME AND HIT ME CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. BEFORE THAT WILL HAPPEN FOR TWO WEEKS MY ALARM WILL GO OFF AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY AND NIGHT. OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL MY CARS EPS AND E BRAKE LIGHTS TURN ON WHILE I AM DRIVING, BUT THEN THE CYCLE WILL START ALL OVER AGAIN. THE MOST FREQUENT TIEM THIS HAPPENED WAS WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY 99W IN DUNDEE OREGON, I WAS GOING ABOUT 45MPH AND MY CARS EPS AND E BREAK .LIGHT TURNED ON AND I HAD TO TURN IT OFF AND THEN RESTART IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT MANY TIMES TO A DEALERSHIP TO FIX BUT THEY JUST CHARGE ME MONEY AND SAY ITS FIXED, BUT THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I WILL SUE, I AM SO OVER MY CAR THREATENING MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF MY LOVED ONES.
