2010 Hyundai Elantra Complaint Log

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD BOOM AND THE SUNROOF SHATTERED AND FELL ON MY DAUGHTER AND ME. THE GLASS REMAINING IN THE FRAME WAS STILL CRACKLING AND WAS PUSHED UPWARD. THERE WAS NOTHING AROUND AT TUME TO HAVE HIT US AND IT APPEARED TO HAVE BLOWN OUT VS IN.

TWICE THE POWER STEERING ASSIST HAS GONE OFF . ONCE AT 20 MPH AFTER MAKING A TURN IN MALL PARKING LOT, AND ONCE APPROX 30-35 MPH WHILE GOING STRAIGHT ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET IN SUBURBS. . THE VEHICLE REQUIRED GREAT EFFORT TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. DRIVER SHUTOFF THE ENGINE, THEN RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND CONTINUED DRIVING WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE EVENTS OCCURRED THREE MONTHS APART MARCH AND JUNE 2016

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ALARM RANDOMLY ACTIVATED WITHOUT WARNING. AT TIMES, THE TRANSMITTER/FOB FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. IN ADDITION, THE FUNCTION BUTTON WAS USED TO OPEN THE TRUNK OF THE VEHICLE AND IT DRAINED THE BATTERY TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE CONTACT HAD TO HAVE THE BATTERY RECHARGED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER MORE THAN ONCE, THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE ALSO RANDOMLY FAILED TO START AND THE CONTACT HAD TO MAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE CLEAR COAT BEGAN TO PEEL AWAY ON MY CAR AND THEN THE PAINT STARTED PEELING. IT LOOKS TERRIBLE AND WHEN I WENT TO TRADE IN FOR A NEW MODEL I WAS TOLD THE PAINT DRASTICALLY LOWERS THE VALUE AND PUTS THE CAR IN "POOR" CONDITION. THIS IS VERY EMBARRASSING HAVING TO EXPLAIN OVER AND OVER WHY THE CAR LOOKS SO BAD. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES IT IS ONLY THE HOOD AND GETTING WORSE OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. THE REST OF THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN AFFECTED I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL PAINT SHOP WHO SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SINCE IT APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE CLEAR COAT USED ON THE ORIGINAL PAINT JOB. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT BUT SAYS IT IS A "COMMON COMPLAINT". I JUST WANT THE HOOD FIXED, I USE THIS CAR FOR BUSINESS. *TR

VEHICLE WAS TOOK IN TO DEALERSHIP LAST 4/22/2015 FOR EPS RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V100000 AND HYUNDAI RECALL 127. THEY COMPLETED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE RECALL DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM ON 5/26/2016 WAS DRIVING THE 2010 ELANTRA AND EPS LIGHT CAME ON CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CAPABILITY. CALLED HYUNDAI THEY SAID IT WAS NOT PART OF RECALL TAKE TO DEALER. DEALER ON 6/1/2016 STATED THAT THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS DONE BUT DID NOT FIX EPS STEERING ISSUE AND WOULD NEED TO REPLACE STEERING COLUMN $2150. THE RECALL OBVIOUSLY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE HAVE NOTICED MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IF A RECALL IS TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE RECALL SHOULD BE DONE FULLY AND CORRECTLY NOT CHEAPLY AND HALFWAY. THE EPS CAUSES STIFF STEERING MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR A PERSON TO STEER. THIS COULD LEAD TO MANY ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLY DEATH. THE LIGHT COMES ON AND IMMEDIATLEY WITH OUT WARNING THE STEERING IS AUTOMATICALLY GONE. WHILE DRIVING I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE AFTER LOSING STEERING I TRIED MAKE A TURN OFF THE MAIN ROAD INTO A SUBDIVISION TO GET OFF THE MAIN ROAD. AS I WAS TURNING AT A VERY LOW SPEED BELOW 5 MPH I WAS UNABLE TO STAY IN MY LANE AND A CAR WAS EXITING THE SUBDIVISION. ALTHOUGH THERE WOULD BE MINOR DAMAGES, THIS COULD BE DIFFERENT IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AT AN EXIT COMING AROUND A TURN. THE LOSS OF STEERING IS UNSAFE AND I DO HOPE THAT THE RIGHT MEASURES ARE EVENTUALLY TAKEN TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 45000 MILES ON IT.

ON THURSDAY 5/19/2016 WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN THE A.M WITH THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT TO THE STEERING WHEEL I NOTICED IT WAS MAKING A CLICKING SOUND AND FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS CATCHING (FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM)WHEN THE CLICK OCCURS AND YOU ARE MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL BACK THE OTHER WAY. WHETHER MOVING STEERING WHEEL TO RIGHT OR LEFT BUT NOT WHEN MAKING A COMPLETE TURN. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET FOUND A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR MY YEAR AND 2011 SONATAS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO BE A COUPLING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I USE AND WAS TOLD BY THE WARRANTY ADMINISTRATOR THEY KNOW ALL ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THE REPAIR WONT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SINCE I AM OUT OF BASIC. I ASKED IF IT IS DANGEROUS AND WAS ASSURED THAT IS IS JUST NOISY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EPS CONTROL UNIT NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V100000 (STEERING); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 44,000.

MY 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WAS RECALLED FOR A PROBLEM WITH THE ASSISTED POWER STEERING. THE PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT M.J. SULLIVAN DEALERSHIP IN NEW LONDON, CT IN APRIL OF 2015. THIRTEEN MONTHS LATER THE SYSTEM FAILED AND THE STEERING IS NOW DIFFICULT, ESPECIALLY DURING ATTEMPTS TO MAKE TURNS OF SHORT RADIUS. PRESUMABLY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE SAME RECURRING PROBLEM FOLLOWING THE 2015 RECALL. MY PURPOSE IS CONTACTING YOU IS TO BRING THE PROBLEM TO YOUR ATTENTION, TO INQUIRE AS TO THE FREQUENCY OF FAILURE OF THE "FIX" TO THE POWER ASSISTED STEERING SINCE THE 2015 RECALL, AND TO ASK IF A FOLLOW-UP RECALL IS ANTICIPATED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST! [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON WHILE DRIVING ON ROUGH ROAD ON HWY APPX. 59K MILES. HAD PASSENGER IN CAR APPX 200 LBS. TOOK TO DEALER AT 60,500 MILES. IS EITHER A FAULTY SEAT BRACKET $2500+ TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SEAT OR DAMAGED SRS MODULE $1000+, OR POSSIBLY BOTH. DEALER RECOMMENDS BRING CAR IN FOR ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTIC TO REMOVE SEAT AN CENTER CONSOLE $300+ IN LABOR JUST FOR THAT. MY WARRANTY CONVENIENTLY EXPIRED AT 60K. DEALER COULD NOT GUARANTEE A 500 MILE EXTENSION TO MY WARRANTY SO I WILL NOT BE PROCEEDING WITH REPAIRS. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE PRACTICE FROM HYUNDAI, I DID NOTHING WRONG TO MY CAR, THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT.

DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER, THIS VEHICLE RAN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH AND THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. WHY? THE DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE WAS SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WITH SUCH VIOLENT FORCE, HER STERNUM WAS FRACTURED AND HER HEART MUSCLE BRUISED. HYUNDAI DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE TAKATA RECALL LIST. WHOM DOES HYUNDAI UTILIZE FOR ITS AIRBAGS?

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HWY AND HAD TO STOP FOR A STOP LIGHT AS I PULLED AWAY THE ESP LIGHT CAME ON TURNING OFF MY POWER STEERING CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO STOP AND TRY TO PULL OVER TO TURN CAR OFF TO RESET THE ESP LIGHT SO I COULD TURN MY CAR SAFELY I HAD TO DO THIS SEVERAL TIMES IT HAVE TO MAKE A 90 DEGREE TO TURN ON MY ROAD OR OFF ON TO THE HWY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT WAS NOT ON RECALL THE PART TO FIX MY CAR ENDED UP COSTING ME 2100.00 FOR A PART THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER GONE OUT. I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN. FOR A PART THAT WAS IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI COSTUMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THAT MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT I HAVE WENT ON THERE COMPLAINS AND SEE THAT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AWHILE THEY HAVE COMPLAINTS FOR 2009 AND UP TO 2012 I TOLD HYUNDAI THAT IT WAS NOT THAT IT WAS NOT THE WARRANTY I WAS COMPLAIN ABOUT AND THAT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE I THEN CONTACTED THE BBB AS INSTRUCTED TO TO HEAR THE SAME THING I THANK THAT THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOME ONE GETS HURT IT IS ALL READY COSTING CONSUMERS THOUSAND OF DOLLARS TO FIX AFTER HYUNDIA STATES THAT THERE VEHICLES ARE SAFE IT IS NOT SAFE WHEN YOU LOSS YOUR POWER STEERING WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A TURN A CAN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION AND E-MAILS THAT I COMMUNICATED WITH HYUNDAI AND THE BBB IF YOU NEED IT I CAN E-MAIL IT TO YOU.

WHILE LEAVING A PARKING LOT IN THE CITY, IN DRIVE, CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO NEXT GEAR, UNABLE TO GO ABOVE 25MPH; WITH ADDITIONAL PRESSURE TO GAS SENDING RPMS HIGH WITHOUT ALTERING SPEED OR SHIFTING GEAR. AFTER FINDING A PLACE TO PARK, NO CEL. UPON RESTARTING CAR, CEL IS ILLUMINATED, AND CAR WILL NOT SHIFT INTO PARK, REVERSE, OR NEUTRAL, AND UPON PUTTING INTO DRIVE THE CAR JERKS FORCIBLY. THE SHIFT INDICATOR ON THE DASH ALSO FAILS TO REGISTER P, R OR N. ONLY DRIVE. HAD CAR TOWED AND LEFT AT AUTOREPAIR SHOP AND THE NEXT MORNING THEY WERE ABLE TO PULL CODE U0101 FROM DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, AND AFTER PLUGGING THE TCM BACK IN AFTER EXAMINING PINS AND CONNECTORS, THE TRANSMISSION RETURNED TO NORMAL FUNCTION.

WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK ON A INCLINE THE TRANSMISSION FAILS TO HOLD THE CAR RESULTING IN THE CAR ROLLING AWAY WHILE UNOCCUPIED, I PUT MY 2010 ELANTRA IN PARK GOT OUT OF IT TO GET SOMETHING FROM THE BACK SSEAT, THE CAR WAS ON AN INCLINE AT THE TIME IN MY DRIVEWAY. AS I REACHED TO OPEN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR I HEAR A LOUD BANG AND THEN I HAD ABOUT A SECOND TO LOOK AROUND AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION MADE A REPETITVE BANGING AND CLICKING SOUND AS THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. I HAD TO OPEN THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR AND HOP IN THE CAR WHILE IT WAS MOVING SO I COULD HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE CAR. AFTER THIS I WENT TO A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER AND TALKED TO THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE THE TOLD ME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE AND HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSIONS IN THE CARS AFFECTED. I BOUGHT MINE FROM A USED CAR LOT ABOUT TEN DAYS AGO I AM TAKING IT BACK AND THEY ARE GOING TO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE CAR, HOWEVER I WOULD LIKE A RECALL ISSED SO I CAN TAKE THIS CAR TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED SO I KNOW FOR SURE THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPPEN AGAIN.. AS OF RIGHT NOW I HAVE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO HOLD THE CAR TO BE SURE ITS NOT GOING TO ROLL AWAY WHEN NO ONE IS THERE TO STOP IT.. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND A GOOGLE SEARCH WILL CONFIRM THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THESE CARS YEARS 2007 TILL 2010. I CAN GO OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW AND GARANTEE IF AND STRESS IS CREATED BY PARKING ON A SLIGHT INCLINE THE CAR WILL ROLL AWAY IN PARK.. I SHOWED THE DEALER THAT I GOT THE CAR FROM THIS YESTERDAY AND IT DID THIS 2 OUT OF 3 TIMES THAT I PUT THE CAR IN PARK ON A SLIGHT HILL..... THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION. ANOTHER DRIVER WAS TRAVELLING TOO FAST ON SNOW AND SLID INTO MY LANE WHILE I WAS TRAVELING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. HIS AIRBAG DEPLOYED, MINE DID NOT. THIS WAS A 6 AIRBAG SYSTEM, WITH NO PASSENGERS IN CAR. I NEED ASSISTANCE PULLING OUT THE EVENT DATA RECORDER AND CRASH DATA BEFORE THIS CAR IS SALVAGED SO WE CAN GET HYUNDAI TO RECALL THIS SYSTEM.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING,HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS. UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM AT DEALER. REF. TSB-15-01-019-1

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR NO LONGER STAYS UP AND IS A VISIBILITY HAZARD. LOOKING ON LINE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND SOME MODELS ARE ALREADY LISTED FOR THE RECALL HOWEVER NOT THE 2010 ELANTRA TOURING. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY TIME WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY IN MOTION ETC.

TRANSMISSION FAILS EVERY 35,000 TO 45,000 MILES. REPLACED TWICE UNDER 90,000 MILES. STARTS AS THE CAR HESITATES TO SHIFT OR DOES NOT SHIFT FOR A FEW MINUTES. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.

RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON 4/22/15 AT NO CHARGE. BOUGHT CAR FROM DAD ON 5/26/15. 7 MONTHS LATER THE (EPS) LIGHT COME ON AND I LOSE STEERING. IF YOU SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN ON THE LIGHT GOES OUT. ITS HAPPENING EVERY OTHER DAY. I THINK THIS STILL FALLS UNDER THE RECALL. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET FIXED FOR NO CHARGE. PLACES ARE WANTING MONEY AND HAVE MY CAR FOR A FEW DAYS. RECALL SAYS 1HR . SAYS IF NOT SATISFIED TO WRITE YOU. PLEASE REVIEW. PRETTY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION. HAVE NO OTHER CAR. EPS LIGHT COMES ON IN MOTION, TURNING, MOSTLY AT SLOW SPEEDS. THEN LOSE STEERING. HERE IS A PICTURE. I ALSO HAVE VIDEO ON THE ROAD BUT IT WONT SEND.

LAST WEEK THE DAY AFTER DLST ENDED, I USED BY HEADLIGHTS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MONTHS. THIS SEEMED TO COINCIDE WITH THE START OF THE CLICKING OF MY STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING. I STOPPED & TALKED W/ A MECHANIC, HE SAID A DEALER WOULD HAVE TO DO A COSTLY REPAIR BECAUSE IT INVOLVED THE COMPUTER LOCATED IN THE STEERING COLUMN. IT WOULD PROBABLY NEED REPLACEMENT. I AM WORRIED IT MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE. HE SAID IT WAS NOT BUT I DECIDED TO CHECK RECALLS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25-40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THE EPS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY INCLUDED AND REPAIRED ACCORDING TO A RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING.

TIRE AIR VALVE BROKE AND TIRE WENT FLAT INSTANTLY. CAR WAS IN DRIVEWAY AND I WAS CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AND USING THE STEERING, THE STEERING WHEEL CLICKS WHEN YOU TURN IT ANY WHICH WAY. ALSO THE STEERING FEELS LOOSE & SLOPPY. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE IT.

THE ORIGINAL STEERING WHEEL ON THIS CAR HAS BEEN CRACKING AND NOW IS DISINTEGRATING IN MY HANDS. SLOWLY BUT SURELY IT IS POSING TO BE AN ISSUE WITH SHARP EDGES WHICH HAS CUT MY HAND. I BELIEVE IF THIS KEEPS GOING THE SKELETON OF THE STEERING WHEEL WILL BE EXPOSED. I AM ATTACHING PICTURES OF THIS. I HAVE TALKED TO HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO INFERIOR MATERIAL USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL.

CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING ON BOTH HIGHWAY AND SIDE STREETS. WON'T START UP RIGHT AWAY. EACH TIME IT HAPPENED IT TOOK LONGER AND LONGER FOR IT TO START.

NOISE WHEN TURN RIGHT AND LEFT. ALSO WHEN IS DRIVING MAKE A NOISE UNDER THE STERING WHEEL COLUNM-DASH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V100000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROTORS WERE RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,044.

THE DASH LIGHTS FLASH AND THE KEY WHEN REMOVED FROM COLUMN IS HOT.

MY WIFE OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA AND THE COMPLAINT I'VE GOT IS ABOUT THE LUG NUTS. I HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKE PADS, BRAKE SHOES AND ROTORS. THE FIRST PROBLEM I RAN INTO ON THIS PROJECT WAS THAT THE LUG NUTS WERE SO RUSTED THAT THE LUG WRENCH SUPPLIED WITH THE CAR WOULDN'T FIT OVER THEM - THE CHROME PLATING ON THE NUTS HAD DETERIORATED ALLOWING RUST TO BUILT UP UNDERNEATH THE PLATING SO THAT THE WRENCH WOULDN'T FIT. (I THOUGHT OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAD TO CHANGE FLAT TIRES ON THE ROAD AND WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET THE FLAT TIRES OFF.) I CALLED THE DEALER TO SEE IF NEW LUG NUTS WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY SAID NO, THAT THEY'D GIVE ME A 'DEAL' OF $10/NUT - AROUND $200 TO REPLACE ALL THEM ON THE CAR! I STILL HAVE THE RUSTED LUG NUTS ON THE CAR BUT CARRY AN ADDITIONAL WRENCH THAT WILL FIT OVER THEM. I DID MANAGE TO REPLACE ALL THE PARTS, INCLUDING RUSTED AND WARPED ROTORS MENTIONED IN SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I'VE SEEN BUT CAUTION ANYONE WHO PLANS TO TACKLE THIS JOB TO BE PREPARED FOR A GRUELING JOB.

ON JULY 15TH I ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR AND THE ESC LIGHT AND THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING LIGHT BOTH CAME ON. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER THE CAR. I CALLED MY MECHANIC AND THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE SHOP. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE COMPUTER CODE FOR THE EPS WAS NOT IN THE SYSTEM. THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN DRIVE FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO REPROGRAM THE SYSTEM. THE FOLLOWING DAY I AGAIN ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE CAR AND THE SAME LIGHTS (ESC AND EPS) CAME ON. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE POWER STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED. I SEE NO REASON THE POWER STEERING SHOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED ON A CAR THAT IN 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED.

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW MY CAR FEELS AS IF IT IS SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL WHEN I TRY TO SPEED UP ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I AM DOING CITY DRIVING I CAN FEEL A JERKING MOTION WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP POSITION OR SLOW MOVEMENT. MY CAR ONLY HAS ABOUT 45,000 MILES ON IT. TRYING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY CAN BECOME VERY NAIL BITING WHEN YOU TRY TO SPEED UP AND YOUR CAR SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL. I FIND THAT I HAVE TO PUT THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, AND GET THE RPMS TO 5, IN ORDER TO GET IT INTO GEAR. I'M SEEING FAR TOO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS AND I'M NOT SURE WHY IT'S NOT BEING RECALLED. ARE THEY WAITING FOR A FATALITY????

SITTING IN TRAFFIC ON 405 FREEWAY NEAR EXIT 52 GOING SOUTH TO WORK WHEN I WAS REAR-ENDED BY A 2013 NISSAN. BACK AND FRONT OF CAR FOLDED UP, I WAS EJECTED FROM THE SEAT BELT (OPENED UP AND FLEW INTO PASSENGER SEAT) AND NOT ONE AIR BAG OPENED. I COULD NOT MOVE, MY FOOT WAS FRACTURED, STOMACH HURT, NECK, BACK AND ARMS IN PAIN. CHP ON THE SCENE. CAR THAT RAN INTO THE BACK OF ME PUSHED ME INTO A LARGE TRUCK AND PUSHED THE TRUCK INTO A CAR. 4-CAR ACCIDENT. CAR HAS BEEN TOTALED AND I AM REPORTING THE FAILURE AND DEFECT WITH THE SEAT BELTS AND AIR BAGS. MA 10/5 UPDATED 11/06/2017*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA TOURING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE EXITING THE DRIVEWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE EPS AND ESC WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY HYUNDAI 2010 I HIT A PARKED CAR DRIVING ABOUT 35MPH NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE KEY FOB WOULD NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS. THE DOORS HAD TO BE OPENED MANUALLY. ALSO, WHEN THE KEY WAS INSERTED IN THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE VEHICLE DID NOT START. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS JUMPSTARTED AND DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V100000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY I NOTICED THAT THE RED EPS COME ON ,AT FIRST I DIDNT NOTICE ANYTHING THEN I MADE A LANE CHANGE AND FOUND THE STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL I STRUGGLED TO PARK THE CAR IT TOOK EVERYTHING I HAD TO TURN THAT WHEEL AROUND A CORNER AND PARK IT,THIS SEEMS LIKE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND HOPEFULLY IT SHOULD PROMPT A HYUNDAI RECALL.

WHEN TURNING THE CAR OFF AND REMOVING KEYS, IT DOESN'T TURN COMPLETELY OFF. I HAVE TO PUT THE KEYS BACK INTO THE IGNITION, TURN ON AND REMOVE AGAIN ROUGHLY TO MAKE THE CAR TURN OFF. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW MONTHS.

STEERING WHEEL MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE EVERY TIME YOU TURN IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THE EPS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMIANTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE LOWER STEERING COUPLER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V100000 (STEERING) BUT THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE REQUIRED REPAIR WAS IN ADDITION TO THE SOFTWARE UPDATE RECALL REPAIR THAT WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHILE MY CAR WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY THE BACK GLASS SHATTERED. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA AND NO ONE WAS AROUND. I HAD JUST WENT OUT AND OPENED THE BACK DOORS AND WALKED AROUND THE BACK OF THE CAR AND GONE BACK INTO THE HOUSE FOR A MINUTE AND WHEN I CAME BACK IT WAS SHATTERED. *TR

I NOTICED WHEN TUNING THE STEERING WHEEL, THAT IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS A BALL ROLLING BACK AND FORTH IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND IT MADE A STRANGE SOFT "THUD". I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS PROBABLY THE STEERING COLUMN COUPLER GOING BAD. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO AGREED WITH THE DIAGNOSIS AND HE ALSO PRINTED OUT A TECHNICAL SAFETY BULLETIN STATING THAT THE COUPLER IS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED IF A "THUD" OR "CLICKING NOISE" APPEARED. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT AT THE SAME TIME I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER REGARDING THE ELECTRONIC STEERING SOFTWARE. THE RECALL STATES THAT THE COMPUTER COULD GET CONFUSED AND STOP THE POWER STEERING WHICH WOULD RESULT IN THE MANUAL STEERING OF THE VEHICLE. SINCE I WAS OUT OF THE 50K MILE WARRANTY THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REPAIR THE STEERING COUPLER UNDER WARRANTY. IT WILL COST ME $260 TO GET THAT REPAIRED. THE STEERING SOFTWARE IS BACK ORDERED AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO GET THAT FIXED UNTIL AFTER MAY 22ND. I FEEL THAT THE STEERING COUPLER ISSUE IS DANGEROUS IN THAT I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE ONCE IT FINALLY GOES BAD. I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
