2013 Hyundai Elantra UNKNOWN OR OTHER

THE ESC LIGHT ILLUMINATES PERIODICALLY AND WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AT SPEEDS AS LOW AS 25 MPH. I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE ESC SYSTEM OFF FOR SAFETY REASONS, BECAUSE THIS WOULD BE DISASTROUS ON THE FREEWAY OR HIGHWAY. THERE ARE NO OBD2 CODES THAT ARE IN THE SYSTEM. I CHANGED OUT THE STEERING FLEX COUPLER, BECAUSE IT HAD DISINTEGRATED, AND WAS MAKING STEERING DIFFICULT.

MY CAR FEEL LIKE IT DON'T WANT TO STOP I THINK IT'S SOMETHING GOING ON WITH MY BRAKES PADS IT FEEL LIKE IT'S NOTHING UNDER MY FEET LIKE I CAN FEEL EVERYTHING I DON'T KNOW IT'S IT'S LIKE A FEELING YOU HAD TO BE IN THE CAR TO FEEL IT AND IT DON'T DO IT ALL THE TIME THAT'S WHAT'S SCARY IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S WET TOO

Just bought this car used for my teenager. 127,000 miles and inspected by a mechanic and cleared with no issues. Brought it home and have driven it ONCE and it has started making a clicking sound that goes away once the car warms up. Took it back to the mechanic who said it is a piston issue and the engine will need to be replaced. $4-7k to replace an engine on a car I just paid $9k to buy. I went looking online for more information and have seen numerous complaints and even a law suit settled out of court for this exact same issue but no recall. This is nuts. That it is known that the pistons are bad on this car and can potential blow up the engine and need replacing but nothing has been done to fix it.

WE BELIEVE THAT THE MPG PROGRAM WHICH WE SUED FOR IS STILL BAD, AND WE NEED SOME RECALLS DONE ON THE CAR.

CAR SPONTANEOUSLY IGNITED WHILE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. ENGINE HAD BEEN OFF FOR 6 1/2 HOURS, KEYS WERE NOT IN VEHICLE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. HEAT FROM FIRE DAMAGED ANOTHER AUTO PARKED NEARBY. LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE BLAZE.

EVERY TIME IT RAINS . IT HYDROPLANES REAL BAD. ON THE HIGHWAY. ANYTHING OVER 40 MPH. BACK IS TRYING TO OUT RUN FRONT OF CAR. I PUT NEW TIRES ON IT ALL AROUND STILL DOESN'T HELP.

DRIVING PAST ON THE FREEWAY AND HIS TRUCK KEPT SWERVING INTO OUR LANE. I HONKED FOR OUR SAFETY TO WARN HIM AND PROTECT MYSELF AND MY TODDLER IN THE CAR FROM GETTING HIT. HE THEN PROCEEDED TO FOLLOW ME WITH HIS WIFE IN THE CAR MAKING HAND GESTURES OF SHOOTING ME AND CONTINUED TO ATTEMPT TO SWERVE HIS TRUCK. *TR

WHEN DRIVING OVER 40MPH, CAR FISHTAILS WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. WORSENS IN RAIN. FEELS VERY UNSTEADY AND UNSAFE.

MY SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME SO THERE WAS NO ADDITIONAL DAMAGE. IT LEFT MY SUNROOF SHATTERED WITH A LARGE HOLE IN THE CENTER.

PAINT IS PEELING IN SECTIONS ON BUMPER AND DOOR HANDLES. HAVE SEEN THIS ON OTHER ELANTRAS AND ONLINE

I HAVE A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA COUPE WHICH IS EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE MDPS FLEXIBLE COUPLING. THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS CURRENTLY COVERED UNDER THE RECALL FOR HYUNDAI ELANTRA AND SONATA BUT NOT THE ELANTRA COUPE 2 DOOR MODEL WHICH I HAVE. THE ELANTRA COUPE MODEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

VEH SHUTS OFF WHEN DROPS BELOW 1-0 RPMS, USUALLY WHEN MAKING TURNS OR SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A STOP. ON FEW OCCASIONS IT TURNED OFF WHILE JUST DRIVING DOWN STREET. NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN . IT'S JUST LIKE SOMEONE TURNS THE KEY OFF, NOT A STALL . THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERY DAY SINCE AT LEAST DEC OF 2018..IT IS NOW MAR 2019. IT IS HAPPENING MORE & MORE FREQUENTLY.

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!

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.

EXPLODING SUNROOF WHILE DRIVING ON A CLEAR, SUNNY, 70 DEGREE DAY ON A SMOOTH INTERSTATE AT 60 MPH, RIGHT LANE ABOUT TO EXIT, SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH. SAW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AROUND ME THAT COULD HAVE HIT ME AND NOT KNOWING WHAT, QUICKLY SLOWED TO PULL OVER ON SHOULDER BEFORE MY DESTINED EXIT, WHERE I DETERMINED ON A HIGHWAY OF FAST MOVING CARS, THAT MY FORWARD PIECE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. HAD CAR TOWED AS I DIDN'T WANT MORE FLYING GLASS ON HWY. ORIGINAL OWNER FOR 25000 MILES, GARAGE KEPT AND HAVE TAKEN CARE OF MINOR RECALLS TO DATE. MY ELANTRA GT MODEL IS CLOSE TO VELOSTAR, BOTH SIMILAR WITH FULL PANORAMIC SUNROOFS, WHICH I UNDERSTAND HAS HAD ROOF RECALLS SINCE. ELANTRAS HAVE NOT? DEALER DENIED THIS BEING ANYTHING BUT A FLUKE AND FIRST EXAMINED FOR A ROCK OR BULLET, WHICH WAS NEVER FOUND. I PROVIDED MY INSURANCE INFO. WHILE IT HAS SINCE BEEN VERBALLY REPRESENTED TO ME BY DEALER THAT MANUFACTURER WOULD DO THE RIGHT THING BY ME AND WAIVE THE ONE MONTH PURPORTEDLY BEYOND 5 YR WARRANTY AND REPLACE, CAR IS STILL WITH DEALER ONE WEEK LATER AS MECHANIC HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH INSTALL. GLASS STILL IN TRACK RENDERING IT IMMOVABLE I'VE BEEN TOLD, STILL WORKING ON IT ALTHOUGH INITIALLY SUGGESTED A ONE DAY JOB AFTER PART CAME. I HAVE NO CAR 1 WEEK LATER, NO LOANER ALLOWED FROM DEALER NO INFO ON COMPLETION. DEALERS NEED TO BE EDUCATED ON THIS DEFECT THEY SEEM TO DENY, THEIR MECHANICS TRAINED AND PUBLIC NOTIFIED OF THIS CONCERN. I ALSO DON'T EXPECT TO PURCHASE A CAR THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO LATER FIX. I WAS LUCKY MY INNER SLIDE WAS CLOSED AS GLASS PIECES FLOATED ON TOP. THE EFFECTS ON MY NERVOUS SYSTEM REMAIN. THE MAIN INNER PART OF THE GLASS DISAPPEARED ON THE HIGHWAY; NEVER SAW WHERE IN MY REAR VIEW. HOPE NO ONE BEHIND ME SUFFERED WHICH I NEVER DID SEE. CHP WAS INFORMED. HELP DO THE RIGHT THING BY THE PUBLIC SAFETY AND RECALL THESE EXPLOSIVE MONSTERS.

DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING

I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION ON MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. I HAVE BEEN IN 2 NEAR ACCIDENTS IN THIS CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN JULY OF 2018. MY REGULAR MECHANIC THOUGHT IT WAS A CAR MAT PROBLEM AND REMOVED THE MAT. THIS WAS AFTER MY CAR ACCELERATED SO HIGH THAT I JUMPED THE CURB AND LANDED IN THE YARD. IT DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I PUT IT IN PARK. I HAVE WITNESSES WHO SAW THIS HAPPEN. I DROVE THE CAR FOR 2 MORE WEEKS WITHOUT THE CAR MAT AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME WITH MY NIECE IN THE CAR. IT DID NOT STOP UNTIL I PUT IT IN PARK. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP BUT THEY DO NOT TAKE THE CAR OUT DRIVING ENOUGH TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEY WANT ME TO PICK UP THE CAR. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND FIND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI VEHICLES. WHEN IS SOMEBODY GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPOT IN MY APARTMENT BUILDING. THE SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING AND TRIED TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT WHEN IT HAPPENED. HYUNDAI DOESN'T GIVE A [XXX]. THEY THINK THAT AFTER DRIVING FOR OVER 40 YEARS, I AM SUDDENLY GETTING MY PEDALS MIXED UP!!!!! TELL THAT TO [XXX] WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!! INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HOME, CITY STREET, APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR, DRY WEATHER, 8 P.M., STILL DAYLIGHT BUT INDIRECT, APPROXIMATELY 70 DEGREES, HEARD A VERY LOUD EXPLOSION AND WAS IMMEDIATELY SHOWERED WITH VERY SHARP SHARDS OF GLASS.HER INFANT DAUGHTER IN THE REAR SEAT WAS NOT INJURED AS HER CAR SEAT COVER PROTECTED HER FROM THE FLYING GLASS. MY DAUGHTER RECEIVED NUMEROUS SMALL CUTS FROM THE GLASS. ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR, ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. SHE QUICKLY CLOSED THE INTERIOR SUNROOF COVER TO PREVENT THE REMAINDER OF THE GLASS FROM RAINING ONTO HERSELF AND THE BABY. PICTURES WILL BE FORTHCOMING WHEN WE CAN SAFELY OPEN THE INTERIOR COVER- WE TRIED TO DO SO TO GET A PHOTO TO SUBMIT BUT MORE GLASS SHARDS CAME DOWN ON HER, CUTTING HER AGAIN

"TAKATA RECALL" 2013 ELANTRA WILL DISPERSE A HUGE CLOUD OF SMOKE WHEN ACCELERATING QUICKLY MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR DRIVERS BEHIND ME TO SEE. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY BUT MOST OFTEN WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY MAKING IT INCREDIBLY UNSAFE FOR PEOPLE BEHIND ME. THERE IS SO MUCH SMOKE IT TAKES ABOUT 30 SECONDS TO A MINUTE TO FOR ME TO SEE THE CARS BEHIND ME. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS AND VIDEOS OF IT HAPPENING. DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE OF AN OVERFLOW OF OIL BECAUSE I WAS GETTING OIL CHANGES OUTSIDE THE DEALER. THE DEAL CHANGED MY OIL IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. DIFFERENT DEALERS HAVE DIFFERENT EXCUSES OF WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE DRIVERS BEHIND THESE VEHICLES AND I AM SURE NOT GOOD FOR THE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING (ROUGHLY 55-60 MPH) ON HWY 50 TO TAHOE THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF ON MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. THERE WAS A LOUD SHOTGUN SOUND WHICH WAS FOLLOWED BY THE GLASS OF THE SUNROOF FALLING BETWEEN THE CLOTH COVER INTO THE CAR ON US. THERE WAS NO ROCKS OR GIANT PINECONES NEAR BY THAT COULD HAVE STRUCK THE CAR OR CAUSED THE DAMAGE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE TURNPIKE AT 75 MPH MY CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. IT JERKED VIOLENTLY AND THEN POWERED BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED IN THE DARK AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS EITHER. THIS HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 70 OR MORE. PRIOR TO THIS THE EPS LIGHT CAME ON I TOOK IT IN DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IN TO THE DEALER AS IT WILL NEED TO BE TOWED. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

MY VEHICLE HAD AN ONGOING WATER LEAK INTO THE REAR HATCH AREA AND UNDER INTO THE SPARE TIRE AREA UNDER THE CARPET/REMOVAL FLOOR. THE LEAK COULD NOT BE TRACED FOR MONTHS AND CAME AND WENT. FINALLY FROM ANOTHER OWNERS HELP WE TRACED IT TO THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF. THE OUTER PLASTIC "FRAME" THAT HELPS SUPPORT AND FIT THE SUNROOF TO THE CAR CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR. IT WAS APPROXIMATELY ABOVE THE REAR SEAT HEADREST OR JUST BEHIND IT UNDER THE HEADLINER. DROPPING THE HEADLINER WAS NECESSARY TO FIND THE CRACK AND LEAK. IF THE CAR SAT ON A SLIGHT INCLINE WITH THE REAR OF THE CAR AT THE LOWEST POINT ABOUT .5" OF WATER WOULD ACCUMULATE INTO THE SPARE TIRE AREA OVER TIME. GRANTED THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT LEAKED IN DEPENDED ON HOW MUCH IT RAINED AND FOR HOW LONG. ALSO DURING THIS SAME TIME THAT THE LEAK WAS ONGOING, THE SUNROOF WOULD MAKE EXCESSIVE CREAKING AND NOISE WHEN DRIVING OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT. I CANT HELP BUT ASSUME THAT THE CRACK WAS EITHER DEVELOPING OR ALREADY PRESENT WHILE THE NOISE WAS HEARD. THE SUNROOF ENDED UP BEING REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY.

FREQUENTLY TIRE SIDE WALLS BULGE AND CRACKS. CANNOT SEE AS THE PROBLEM FOUND INSIDE AND PROBLEM INDICATED BY LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING IN DASH BOARD. SERVICE DEALER CONCLUDED TIRE DAMAGES FROM POT HOLES. FIRST TWO DAMAGES OCCURRED AT 11557 AND 13116 MILES. THIRD AND FOURTH TIME DAMAGES TOOK PLACE AT42244 AND 45634 MILES. DURING FIRST TIME FAILURE, CONTACTED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ON THEIR ADVISE CONTACTED NEXEN TIRE MANUFACTURER. THEY INFORMED TIRE DAMAGE MIGHT BE FROM POT HOLES. SERVICE DEALER ALSO CONCLUDE THE SAME. ON 12-30-17 CONTACTED HYUNDAI CORPORATE SERVICE AND THEY SAID TO CONTACT NEXEN. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NEED ATTENTION

OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS THE CAR WILL GET SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND A BLANK SPACE WILL GO WHERE THE D IS SUPPOSED TO NEXT TO THE SPEEDOMETER. UPON STOPPING AND TRYING TO PARK, THE GEAR SHIFTER GETS STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND WILL NOT MOVE TO PARK. YOU MUST RESTART THE CAR IN NEUTRAL JUST TO PUT IT IN PARK. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST THREE TIMES IN THE PAST TWO YEARS.

MY CAR INTERMITTENTLY WON'T START. IT HAPPENED FOR THE THIRD TIME IN 10-11 MONTHS JUST TWO DAYS AGO AND IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN. THE SHOP HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, BUT THE LIGHTS HAVE NEVER BEEN LEFT ON NOR HAS A DOOR BEEN LEFT AJAR BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO SET THE ALARM IF THIS WERE THE CASE AND THE ALARM HAS BEEN SET CORRECTLY EACH TIME. LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED, 6 MONTHS AGO, THEY PERFORMED A TEST ON THE BATTERY AND IT TESTED POOR SO THEY REPLACED IT CONVINCED THAT WAS IT, THOUGH I TOLD THEM I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS THE ISSUE WITH IT. NOW, ONE OF MY WARRANTIES HAS TIMED OUT, BUT IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN WITH A BRAND NEW BATTERY. I DID A SEARCH AND SOMEONE POINTED ME TO THIS WEBSITE BECAUSE OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH IT. I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO GET THE DEALERSHIP TO CORRECTLY IDENTIFY WHAT THE ISSUE IS SO IT CAN BE FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL. I HAVE SEEN, IN THE SEARCH I DID, THAT OTHERS MENTIONED THINGS LIKE THE SHIFT INTERLOCK, RANGE SWITCH, FAULTY RAIN SENSOR, SHIFTER ASSEMBLY, OR SHIFTER ASSEMBLY CABLE. I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THIS CAR? THE CAR WAS SITTING IN MY GARAGE AND HAD BEEN DRIVEN WITH NO ISSUES LESS THAN 24 HOURS BEFORE. IT WAS SO DEAD IT WOULDN'T EVEN UNLOCK USING THE KEY FAB. I USED THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR, NO LIGHTS WENT ON, IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK CAME, THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE CHARGER TO BE ABLE TO MOVE IT OUT OF THE GARAGE ONTO THE TRUCK AND WITHIN JUST A FEW SECONDS THE CAR'S LIGHTS TURNED ON AND THE ALARM STARTED GOING OFF. HE WAS ABLE TO START IT AND DRIVE IT ONTO THE TRUCK THEN WITH NO ISSUES. I HAVE INVOICES FROM THE PAST SHOWING WHAT TESTS WERE PERFORMED, BUT ESSENTIALLY THEY HAVE TESTED THE ALTERNATOR AND STARTER AND SAID THEY TESTED FOR A PARASITIC DRAW, BUT SO FAR THE ONLY ACTUAL FIX THEY HAVE DONE IS TO REPLACE THE BATTERY 6 MONTHS AGO.
