This dealership refuses to work on recalls on weekends, even though they are open for repairs on Saturdays. They are prioritizing paying customers. This is the second recall I've had this issue with them. Tasca Central Ave Hyundai 111 south central avenue, Hartsdale NY 10530
The traction contril indicator is always light is always showing up on the dashboard at the night time till morning since a couple of months so far.
unknown
A safety recall has been issued since September 2023 and still no remedy. The car should not be driven because it could catch fire. There is no time frame for the remedy. What am I suppose to do about transportation now itβs been 6mos Iβve had to borrow a vehicle.
N/A
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ("ABS") MODULE remains a threat to my life. Hyundai should be required to fix this in a timely manner.
The sunglasses console for the 2014 Hyundai Elantra is not closing anymore. The latch has deteriorated and it will continue to keep opening if you try to shut it close no matter what you do. This is a hazard because it blocks the rearview mirror which in turn can block your view of the car behind you if you are trying to switch lanes, watch out for emergency vehicles, or even pedestrians. I literally have to use tape to keep it closed till it can be fixed.
The manufacturer taking unreasonable long time to fix the recall, its urgent recall thats limiting usage of the vehicle. High risk recall associated with vehicle catching fire
sunglass holder continuously pops open for no reason and blocks my view in my rearview mirror while driving. Has happened since I bought it in 2019. they had tape on it when I bought it So I'm assuming this has been a problem for a l9ng time.

The contact stated that the vehicle then inadvertently stalled. The check engine and oil warning lights were illuminated. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was pushed to the side of the road with assistance. The contact stated that the battery was jumped but the vehicle would not start. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The contact became aware of an unknown recall for rod bearings failure and the vehicle was towed to the dealer for the recall repair; however, upon inspecting the vehicle, the dealer informed the contact that her vehicle did not need the recall repair as the rod bearings had not completely failed. The contact also stated that oil was leaking underneath the vehicle onto the ground and the steering wheel was shaking while driving. The dealer diagnosed that the valve, the alternator, and the head gasket needed to be replaced. The alternator was replaced; however, the vehicle was not completely repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The manufacturer also referred the contact to NHTSA. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.
THE SUNGLASS HOLDER ON THE CEILING REPEATEDLY BREAKS AND HANGS DOWN BLOCKING THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. LESS THAN A YEAR OR 2 AFTER I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW, THE CLASP WHICH HOLDS THE SUNGLASS HOLDER UP BROKE. I'VE HAD IT REPLACED 2 OR 3 TIMES NOW AND IT NEVER LASTS MORE THAN 6 MONTHS OR A YEAR BEFORE IT STARTS FALLING AGAIN. IT STARTS JUST FALLING WHEN I HIT A BUMP AND THEN WON'T STAY UP AT ALL. NOW THAT MY CAR IS NO LONGER COVERED BY WARRANTY, HYUNDAI IS TELLING ME IT'LL COST $420 TO FIX SO WE'VE KEPT IT DUCT TAPED UP SO THAT WE CAN SEE OUT THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. THIS SOMETIMES WORKS IN THE WINTER, BUT IN THE FLORIDA HEAT, EVEN THE STRONGEST GORILLA TAPE MELTS AND DOESN'T STAY UP FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES AT A TIME.
HYNDAI DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED ON MULTIPLE OCCASION'S TO PERFORM THE RECALL AT A TIME THAT IS AT ALL POSSIBLE. I GAVE THEM MANY OPPERTUNITIES TO FIX THEIR MISTAKE AT TIMES I CAN BRING THE CAR TO THEM AND GHEY ARE REFUSING. THEY HAVE EVEN REUSED EVERYDAY UNTIL SEPT 30. AND ANY WEEKEND AFTER THAT OR AFTER 7 PM.
WHENEVER I USE THE AIR CONDITIONER OR VENTILATION THERE'S AN OVERWHELMING SMEL OF MOLD. THIS OCCURS IN STATIONARY AND WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION.
I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2017. THE DEALER PASSED IT FOR STATE INSPECTION,AFTER. A DAY NOTICED A RUMBLE IN FRONT END. BROUGHT TO DEALER, WAS TOLD BRAKE ROTORS WERE WARPED. THEY REPLACED ROTORS. PROBLEM SOLVED. TWO YEARS LATER WENT FOR STATE INSPECTION AND ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS ARE WORN OUT. THIS WOULD INDICATE AN OVER HEATING OF BRAKES. HOT BREAKS WILL CAUSE LOSS OF BRAKES OR TAKE LONGER TO STOP. THIS WOULD ALSO EXPLAIN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT BRAKES,AND WHY IT CAN'T BE DUPLICATED WHEN TESTED BY MECHANICS THEY DON'T DRIVE IT LONG ENOUGH.
FOR ABOUT A MONTH MY CAR WOULDN'T START EXCEPT AFTER A FEW TRIES IT THEN STARTED. I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO THE WEATHER, BUT I LATER LEARNED IT WASNT. I HAD SPARK PLUGS CHANGED LINES FLUSHED AND BATTERY CHECKED AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. IT WON'T START AT ALL.
WENT TO SHUT CAR OFF AND KEY IS STUCK IN IGNITION. I HAVE TO USE MY OTHER SWT OF KEYS TO LOCK DOORS FOR SAFETY...CAR NOT BEING STOLEN. NO ONE CAN FUGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO TAKE IT TO THIS PLACE AND THAT PLACE OR THE TIME. I WENT TO THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. IT SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD BE ON TGE MANUFACTURER TO MY IT RIGHT. REALLY MY CAR IS ONLY A 2014 I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE.
THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WON'T TURN OFF TO ALLOW YOU TO PULL THE KEY OUT. THE ONLY WAY TO PULL OUT THE KEY IS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY.
HYUNDAI ELANTRA 2014 ROLLS BACK IN PARK MODE.
DRIVING DOWN FREEWAY AND CAR STOPPED RUNNING AND WITHIN A MINUTE CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNT. MY SON GOT OVER TO SHOULDER AND GOT PUT AND AWAY FROM CAR SAFELY. THE CAR IS 100 PERCENT DESTROYED. I HAD READ TODAY THE HYUNDIAS HAVE BEEN HAVING SOME FIRE ISSUES SO THOUGHT I WOULD REPORT THIS INCIDENT.
CAR INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT START WITHOUT WARNING, PARK RUNNING FINE, GET BACK IN AND IT WILL NOT START, HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES, TOOK TO DEALER UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY CANNOT GET IT TO REPLICATE .. NO ERROR CODE... THEY JUST SCRATCH THEIR HEAD AND SAY SORRY WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO... TELL THAT TO MY WIFE WHEN SHE IS STRANDED.
CAR RANDOMLY COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE DRIVING IT AT LOW SPEEDS. ALL LIGHTS COME ON AND VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE. I TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND VEHICLES STARTS BACK UP AGAIN. OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES IN SEVERAL DAYS. HYUNDAI TOLD ME THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE UNLESS IT REPLICATES WHILE IN THEIR POSSESSION.
I PURCHASED A PRE-OWNED 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT ON APRIL 22, 2016. WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE CAR DEALER I HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE, IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. I LOOKED UP AND NOTICED THAT THE PANORAMIC SUN ROOF HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED AND I QUICKLY EXITED AT THE NEAREST HIGH WAY EXIT. I WAS TRAVELING 60 M.P.H ON A STRAIGHT AWAY ON HIGHWAY 80 NEAR VACAVILLE, CA. THE SUNROOF GLASS WAS CLOSED BUT THE INTERIOR SCREEN WAS OPEN. IT HAD BEEN RAINING EARLIER THAT DAY BUT IT WAS CLEAR AND SUNNY AT THE TIME THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. I HAD ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 3 HOURS IN MY POSSESSION WHEN THIS HAPPENED.
