2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT: NO CONTROL OF THE CAR WHEN YOU HIT BUMPS OR CRACKS IN THE ROAD VERY HARD TO KEEP IN THE LANE YOUR DRIVING IN THIS IS AT ALL SPEEDS ON ANY CITY ROAD OR HIGHWAY TEN TIMES WORSE ON SNOW AND WIND. THE CAR ONLY WORKS PROPER ON A BRAND NEW ROAD WITHOUT WIND, SNOW, ICE, RAIN, CRACKS, OR BUMPS AND SHOULD ONLY BE SOLD AS A RACE CAR NOT A PUBLIC STREET DRIVING CAR! I AM SCARED FOR MY LIFE EVERY TIME I HAVE TO DRIVE THIS CAR! I HAVE ALMOST LOST CONTROL THOUSANDS OF TIMES! HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE HAVE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS CAR!

TAKATA RECALL WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL I REALIZED THAT THE EPS CONTROL MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A LOUND NOISE WHEN TURNING.

WHILE DRIVING ON BELTWAY DOING 55 MPH THE VEHICLE WON'T ACCELERATE AND ALSO MAKES SOUNDS WHEN PUSHING ON GAS THE RPM WILL BE MOVING BACK AND FRONT EVEN WHEN CAR NOT MOVING. CAR SMELLS LIKE SOMETHING IS BURNING. THE CAR WILL START TO SLOW DOWN AND SHUT IT SELF OFF.ALL LIGHTS WILL TURN ON THEN I SHUT CAR OFF COMPLETELY THEN TURN BACK ON AND IT STARTS UP LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THEN WHEN SITTING STILL AT A LIGHT THE CAR SHUT OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH BRAKE LIGHT BULBS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SEVEN TIMES TO HAVE THE BRAKE LIGHT BULBS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT HAD SUDDEN SURGE OF ACCELERATION CONTINUE WHILE IN NEUTRAL AND PARK. REQUIRING TO TURN OFF ENGINE. EXCESSIVE RPM CAUSED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TO MALFUNCTION. CAUSING LACK OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE.

WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 2017 FROM DEALERSHIP. ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASE AND LESS THAN 1000 MILES AFTER PURCHASE, AND LESS THAN 64000 MILES TOTAL, THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO OIL ISSUES WITH THE CYLINDERS. ADEQUATE OIL WAS IN CAR AND DEALER INSISTED THAT ALL CHECKS HAD BEEN PERFORMED PRIOR TO SALE. I HAVE RECENTLY READ ABOUT RECALLS FOR OTHER KIA AND HYUNDAI VEHICLES DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE PROBLEMS FOR THE SAME REASON. I AM REPORTING THIS ISSUE IN HOPE THAT THIS AGENCY WILL CONSIDER INVESTIGATING TO SEE IF THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO HYUNDAI ELANTRAS. THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE REPEATING AMONG OTHER VEHICLES MADE BY HYANDAI IN THE SAME TIME FRAME MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED. I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE REPAIR THAT WAS PERFORMED BECAUSE NOW THERE ARE ADDITIONAL RECALLS BY HYUNDAI AND KIA FOR THE ENGINE REPAIRS THAT WERE PERFORMED ON THE OTHER RECALLED MODELS. THE DEALERSHIP AND HYUNDAI DID COVER MOST OF COST OF ENGINE REPLACEMENT BUT I WANT TO BE SURE THE REPAIR WAS SAFELY DONE. THERE ARE REPORTS OF ENGINE FIRES RELATED TO HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PIPES AND FUEL LEAKS.

TAKATA RECALL THE DROVERS SIDE SEAT BELT POPS OUT. IT WILL BE IN, LOCKED AND AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL JUST RELEASE. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE.

VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL MAKES NOISE AND JERKS WHEN TURNING, EITHER AT A STAND STILL OR DRIVING. I AM IN FEAR OF MY LIFE. HYUNDAI RESPONDED VIA EMAIL AND BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. THEIR EMAIL DATED 1/9/19 INDICATES MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT "CAMPAIGN TXX7," AND THAT "WEAR OF THE COUPLING DOES NOT AFFECT THE ABILITY TO STEER OR CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE." MY MOTHER IN LAW ALSO HAS A 2013 ELANTRA WHERE THE PART AND LABOR WERE COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE ISSUE IS WIDELY EFFECTING VEHICLES BASED ON A GOOGLE SEARCH. THEY WANT $125 TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE AND I ADVISED THEM THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE A ROBO CALL TO POTENTIAL VICTIMS INFORMING OF THEM OF THIS WELL KNOWN ISSUE. THAT PROCESS WOULD HAVE COST THEM NOTHING. MY MOTHER IN LAW SPENT ABOUT $1,000 IN REPAIRS TO FIX THE ISSUE BEFORE MY CAR, SHORTLY THEREAFTER, HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND I GOOGLED IT LEARNING HOW PREVALENT IT IS. HER MECHANIC CALLED HYUNDAI WHO ACTED LIKE THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS BROUGHT UP TO THEM. SHE WAS FEARFUL TO DRIVE HER VEHICLE AND BORROWED A CAR TO GO TO WORK WHILE SHE HAD THE WORN COUPLING ISSUE. HYUNDIA IS PUTTING PEOPLES' LIVES AT RISK DOWNPLAYING, NOT INFORMING, AND REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEPTH OF THE PROBLEM. BOTH MY MOTHER IN LAWS CAR (NOW FIXED) AND NOW MINE, ARE DIFFICULT TO STEER WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED.
