2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Complaints

PUCHASE MY ELANTRA IN JUNE 2017, WHEN IT RAIN OR FIRST THING IN THE AM THE BRAKES WILL MAKE A SOUND LIKE I NEED NEW BREAKS AND LIKE THE ROTOR NEED REPLACED. I TOOK IT IN AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FIND. ONE YEAR LATER STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SEATBELT LIGHT COMES ON AND CONTINUES TO BEEP WITH NO ONE SITTING IN THE SEAT AND THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET IT TO GO OFF IS TO SNAP THE SEATBELT. SOMETIMES I HAVE ACCESS TO MY BLUETOOTH PHONE AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T WORK OR THE DISPLAY IS NOT ACCESSIBLE

BLOWS COLD AIR WHEN IDLING IN COLD WEATHER(BELOW 0) TEMP GUAGE DROPS TO COLD ,WINDSHIELD STARTS FOGGING UP HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN BLOWER DOWN ONE SPEED OR IT WON'T HEAT UP AGAIN !! PRETTY DANGEROUS IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC ! HAD IT BACK TO DEALER TWICE AND SAID IT WAS THERMOSTAT ,BUT IT DID NOT FIX PROBLEM ........HAVE TALKED TO OTHER SAME VEHICLE OWNERS AS WELL AS INTERNET SEARCH AND SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHER OLDER ELANTRA VEHICLES . WHAT IS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS ONGOING PROBLEM AND DEFINITE SAFETY AND NUISANCE PROBLEM ??????

WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF AROUND 25-30 MPH...CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLOWED DOWN SO I ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN. I PRESSED ON BRAKE PEDAL BUT CAR DID NOT STOP. IF FELT LIKE IT STARTED TO START THEN SLIPPED AND GAINED SPEED RESULTING IN A FRONT END CRASH. THIS MODEL HAS A RECALL BUT WHEN I PUT IN MY VIN IT SAYS NOT AFFECTED BYTHE RECALL ON THESE BRAKES BUT I'M SEEING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS.

O WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, MY SON WAS IN AN ACCIDENT THIS PAST TUESDAY 4/3/18 WHERE HE REARED END ANOTHER VEHICLE.. THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON BUT THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. IT WAS ENOUGH DAMAGE TO TOTAL THE CAR.. APROX 9-12 THOUSAND DOLLARS IN DAMAGE.. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING. THE ADJUSTER FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY ALSO WAS WONDERING WHY THEY DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE READ THERE IS SOME ISSUES WITH THE 2017 ELANTRA AND AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING CORRECTLY BUT NOT SURE IF APPLIES TO THIS SITUATION I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO REVIEW THE DAMAGE AND GIVE ME SOME KIND OF IDEA WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY..

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ONE NIGHT AND AFTER LEAVING GAS STATION PULLING OUT OF PARKING LOT I WAS STOPPING BEHIND CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHEN MY ENGINE STALLED SO I PUT CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT ONLY TO MOVE ABOUT FIVE FEET WHEN ENGINE STALLED AGAIN WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND GET OUT ONTO HIGHWAY UNTIL I CAME TO A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT AS I PROCEEDED TO STOP ENGINE STALLED AGAIN AFTER RESTARTING IT NO ISSUES ALL THE WAY HOME TWO DAYS LATER I WAS HEADING OUT OF WORK TO GET LUNCH AND COMING AROUND A JUG HANDLE CAR ENGINE STALLED AGAIN RESTARTED AND MADE IT BACK TO WORK. NOW I AM WRITTING TO TRY AND SOLVE THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE AT HAND.

TAKATA RECALL- VEHICLE WAS TURNING LEFT WHEN HIT FROM DRIVER'S SIDE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. DRIVER WAS INJURED, AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. SEE PICTURES. STATE POLICE SUSPECT THAT NONE OF THE AIRBAG SENSORS WERE TRIGGERED DURING THE COLLISION WHEN IT WAS EXPECTED THEY WOULD DO SO UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR. TODD ARCHER HYUNDAI IN BELLEVUE, NEBRASKA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS PERFORMING AS IT SHOULD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE BODY SHOP; HOWEVER, A DETERMINATION HAD NOT BEEN MADE REGARDING IF THE VEHICLE WAS STILL OPERABLE. THERE WAS ALSO A PREVIOUS BRAKE FAILURE THAT RESULTED IN A CRASH. THERE WAS ONE INJURY, BUT MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. THE CONTACT SUFFERED MODERATE ABRASIONS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT PROVIDED.

BELOW 50 DEGREES IT TAKES THE HEATER AN EXTREMELY LONG PERIOD FOR THE CAR TO REACH NORMAL OPERATING TEMP AND THEN WHEN THE HEATER IS TURNED ON IT FALLS BACK TO ALMOST INTO THE COLD POSITION AND BEGINS TO BLOW COOL AIR. THE TEMP GAUGE WILL THEN GO UP WHILE DRIVING BUT WILL GO DOWN TOWARD THE COLD POSITION WHILE IDLING. MY OTHER CAR IS A 2011 ELANTRA AND HAVE NO ISSUES WITH IT AS IT WARMS UP IN JUST A COUPLE OF MILES AND STAYS WARM AND BLOWS HOT AIR. DEALERSHIP HAS CHECKED IT OUT AND SAYS ITS WORKING FINE BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL CASES ON THE INTERNET REPORTING THE SAME WITH OTHER OWNERS AND EVEN FOUND WHERE HYUNDIA HAS ISSUED A TSB REPLACING SOME THERMOSTATS IN THE 2017 MODELS.
