There is an issue with mice getting into the front of the car. It smells like urine and is unsafe to breathe. I have cleaned out air filters monthly and find nests every time and have even found a dead mice. My car has nothing that would attract the mice. I have tried everything and spent so much money to prevent this from happening. Apparently with this car it is a known issue, and has not been fixed.
I was pulling into a parking spot, moving very slowly, and the car suddenly accelerated. I’m not sure if it was the brakes only because I was slowed down and preparing to stop. I was lucky that I only went into a PVC fence and no one was injured. There was no indication of any sort of a possible problem. No one looked at it because I had no idea that that could be done, and I wouldn’t know where to go.
On six seperate occasions since I purchased new my traction control light flashed and the vehicle jerked and would lose power. It would then gain and lose power again. Four of these occurances happened in the last few months. It would not subside until I stopped the car. I took the car to the dealer three times and they said they could not duplicate the problem. They also said there were no codes in the car system history that showed any problems. I contacted Hyundai USA for advice. They said to bring it into the dealer and ask them to inspect the car again. That was visit number 3 and the results were the same. The person from Hundai said she would let her supervisor know of my concern for the vehicle safety but I never heard back.
Rear view back up camera no longer functioning correctly. Has been to dealership where purchased with system update but no remedy.
Unknown, "no remedy available"
The horn has malfunctioned. It stopped working today for the first 10-15 minutes of my driving and this poses as a safety concern as I was not able to communicate with other drivers. After 15 minutes the horn started picking up but it sounded faint. It does not sound nearly as loud or the same sound. I am worried the horn will stop working again. It is not making the same noises it usually does. Currently there are no warning lights on the dash regarding this. I am also seeing in social media communities that other Elantra drivers are facing the exact same issue and this poses a safety concern. If the horn stops working while driving in the highway or even local roads and we are unable to connivance with drivers it can cause or fail to prevent accidents.
Car losing coolant and hyundai refuse to fix it says couldn’t find leak
My horn failed and keeps blowing fuses which is A band-aid for the current problem; my car poses A risk to me and my family and others on the road if A new horn cannot be installed promptly. The problem was acknowledged by "MATTHEWS HYUNDAI OF GREECE - ROCHESTER NY(14626) and I was told it'd be A couple of weeks, now i've been told an ETA of (03/30/22) which I have A email stating so. The vehicle has no warnings on the dash that let me know that the horn has malfunctioned. I was offered no options from Hyundai Corporate other than to wait for the horn.
I attempted to make a complete stop at a stop sign. The brakes wouldn't stop the car. The car kept driving, had to swerve several times. I attempted to put the car in neutral didn't work, tried to put it in park didn't work. It abruptly stopped in the middle of the road eventually. Several lights displayed on the dashboard. Scariest moment of my life! Hyundai needs to fix this problem! I called the dealership to speak with the service manger ART at World Hyundai in Matteson, IL, left several messages no call back! Final call, I was told that ART couldn't come to the phone, I could drop off the car, but they have no loaner to give me in the meantime.
