Hyundai Elantra Change Vehicle

“Apparently computer problem”

“Car herks and jerks like it cant decide which gear to change into. Most annoying when trying to excelerat onto a freeway of when it changes into a higher gear. it dumps into a gear then jerks the entire car when it changes started 10 months after we”

“Transmission replaced under warranty when it was 2 years old. The shifting problem restarted approximately one year later after it was out of warranty. No warning lights have come on but it still shifts roughly from 2nd to 3rd gear”

“It occurs occasionally and has gone away each time. Dealer could not identify. I think it is a computer problem. Shifting through gears is jerky and uncertain when it occurs - somewhat unnerving, until it gets back to normal mode”

“Periodically car lurches as gears shift. Seems to be more frequent in lower temps”

“Slipping transmission similar to previous comment, it slips in and out of gears, but then the problem disappears”

“When shifting into a higher gear the transmission would slip as indicated by a jump in RPM's”

“trans slips from 2-3 dealer states it is normal”

“Not sure if its slipping or just cant figure out which gear it should be in. The car herks and jerks which is really annoying to drive Lousy mileage way less than sticker of 28-30 avg miles Best we ever got was 25”

“The automatic transmission would slip, especially when climbing up and down mountain hills. However, the Hyundai Dealorship/Garage said that their computer diagnostics could not find the problem, so they did nothing to fix it. (They did not test driv”

“Car made a 'clunking" sound as it was switching gears. It was a problem with a computer part which was replaced under warranty”

“The transmission was very slow going into reverse, up to 3-4 seconds delay, which I felt was potentially dangerous. The dealership made adjustments to correct the problem which did not help. Eventually the transmission was replaced”

“Whenever the car was placed in to a gear, P, R, D, or M, it would jump the whole car and jerk the passengers. This also happened when the car was in drive and the transmission would shift gear, which would cause the car to lose control a little”

“the trans has started to slip on occasion and once the trans light went one . it happened just as I was leaving town the next day so I could not bring it in to get checked”

“From the date of purchase the transmission has a hesitation shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. The hesitation has become lengthier and noisier”

“Difficulty shifting into reverse”

“Transmission shifting was sometimes not as expected and the ECP light would come on. Transmission sensor for RPM replaced (no cost) and problem disappeared”

“Car would hesitate/miss while accelerating. particularly before it warmed up Took 2 trips to Hyundai to determine issue and fix it. determined to be the trans temp. sensor. Fixed it and no problems since”

“Temperature sensor in transmission fluid failed, which caused transmission to kick and sputter a lot. Service was unable to identify the problem (we took it in several times) until the "malfunction" indicator light illuminated, and then they were ab”

“faulty temperature sensor that made it shift roughly”

“Problem was with uneven shifting and bucking when starting the car. Service at dealer attributed it to a faulty sensor and kept the car until repair parts were available. They supplied a loaner vehicle”

“My trans started slipping luckily just before the warranty went out. took it to the dealer and they said it was a sensor or solenoid Im not sure but they fixed it but it still makes a funny sound. the Hyundai dealership in Lincolnwood sucks !”

“Shock/strut went out creating steering issues that were not dangerous but rather bothersome. When brought to attention of dealer, they immediately replaced it under warranty”

“Both struts were leaking and caused steering wheel vibration”

“Coil spring broke, punctured tire”

“One side leaking and needed replacement”

“Leaking...failed”

“noise in front end - right strut had to be replaced”

“Immediately after the warranty ran out (2 months after) and it had been at the Hyundai Service department just prior to that, the timing belt needed to be changed as per the maintenance guidelines. An inspection was done for the 96000KM maintenance at that department which was where they came back with a $3200 bill for repairs. This included brakes, rotors, struts, and the timing belt replacement. Found out from a 2nd opinion later that the brakes did NOT need replacing but the front struts did”

“Front-end very bouncy on any size bump in road. Hyundai found passenger side strut bad and replaced it under warranty”

“rear suspension has had several part replaced. suspect poorly engineered”

“replaced within 5 years one struts”

“2 shocks leaked oil. Replaced with manufacture warranty. Still terrible ride on bumps, potholes, driveways”

“The squeaks indicated in the previous question are most likely due to springs or shocks failing in the back end of the car”

“This car has Pirelli P4 touring tires which are highly rated and excellent tires. When these tires come from the rear and are rotated to the front, they have a serious noise and vibration issue. They were replaced once already under a tire warranty”

“steering column and rack had to be replaceed”

“it might not have been a tie rod exactly, but a bolt came loose that made the suspension bottom out on even minor bumps”

“One of the tie rods was causing noise in the rear of the car and was replaced under warranty in the previous year. It is making noise again now”

“The steering wheel became loose and skipped when turning. They added bushings to correct, but then I had to return to have them tightened a second time”

“After one brief use to update the GPS maps, the box containing the USB port failed. The replacement part is over $400”

“doesn't work”

“Will not connect with my cell phone anymore”

“Doesn't stay paired”

“Initially phone pairing worked but now it is no longer functional. Unable to link phone to car's bluetooth”

“radio doesn't work”

“System has electrical short that creates loud feedback over the system when the engine is running and the stereo is on. Loud static and crackling from the speakers when driving over bumps”

“Complete failure of radio unit had to be replaced three times”

“radio would switch to auxiliary channel in cold weather (<-5C). New radio replaced has the same problem but less frequently”

“AM Static when car is warm, dealer unable to replicate, still present, out of warranty, dealer did not address prior to warranty expiring”

“in cold weather the FM radio often switches to Aux mode”

“Control buttons, other than on steering wheel, work sporadically, if at all. Often begins to scroll through all the stations or ipod selections. Button seems to get stuck”

“No sound comes out of them, fuse keeps burning out”

“Twice in the time I've owned the car the sound goes out on all audio functions. it isn't the speakers, its the amp This second time was not under warranty. Removing and reinstalling the amp works temporarily. but amp works when bench tested”

“The bluetooth phone system does not work because the overhead speaker is faulty. The dealer did not have one in stock and I gave up on repairing it because of the cost”

“The backup camera failed completely. No picture appeared in the viewer in the dash. The dealer replaced the camera (for several hundred dollars)”
