Hyundai Elantra

"The Alignment Was Not Correct From Factory. Told To Me by Alignment Tech."

"They broke and needed to be replaced"

"Loose ball joints"

"Boot cracked, ball joint had excessive movement"

"There was a recall for steering wheel "clicking" noise. A sprocket was replaced and the noise went away"

"This power steering was electrical and quit completely when I tried to start the car in the morning, but with added arm strength I was able to bring the car to a repair shop. The shop replaced the entire electrical core from the steering column at a cost of $1212."

"experienced electric power steering sudden failure"

"Clunking sound in the driver's side rear. Replaced under warranty"

"The rear end of the car flies out on bumps. We replaced the struts and added rock salt in the trunk but it still does not do well with bumps and potholes"

"Replaced rear shocks because when going over bumps or rough roads the car would be a little unstable like the back end was stepping out"

"Rear Shocks had to be replaced. Impact on tires and ride"

"This is likely because of the higher mileage, but the suspension creaks and groans all the time."

"Rear shocks started to rattle and proceeded to rattle all of the time in a very short time. Rear springs may have also become unseated."

"In the last year, I have had to replace the rear shocks 3 times and each time the shocks go out, it causes the tires to wear"

"Shocks shouldn't wear out at 50000 miles."

"passenger side rear shock absorber failure and leakage"

"Both front struts replaced under warranty...wore out making much noise"

"failed rear shocks caused uneven tire wear on the rear"

"The care is very jumpy especially on road surfaces that are uneven. It almost feels as if the wheels lose contact with the road. This can lead to a feeling of losing control."

"I work for a company that requires frequent transfers in and around Atlanta. My experience has been that the shocks and struts just were not durable enough to deal with several hundred highway miles every week. I have replaced both"

"Shock went out."

"Passenger side shock went out."

"SERVICE BULLETIN/WARRANTY EXTENSION: Lack of drainage causing corrosion to front coil springs. One front coil spring failed (snapped in half) just after Service Bulletin/Warranty Extension issued."

"The coating on the coil springs became brittle and flaky allowing the metal underneath to corrode and the coil spring to break near the button. only discovered when changing brakes and rotors myself. Luckily, the front coil springs have an added warranty for 120,000 so I was covered."

"Rear trailing arm cannot be adjusted except by shimming"

"broken"

"Clunking noise going over bumps. It was the front anti-sway bar links."

"There is a general looseness in the suspension now, given the miles. The steering feel is particularly wonky, giving strange feedback in turns. Lots of noise in other parts of the suspension. Right now I chalk it up to excessive wear as it has gotten older."

"steering linkage failed on highway trip. Had use backroads and lower speed to get home and to dealer for repair."

"Had the sway bar link on the driver side replaced at 22,000K as it broke"

"steering coupler wore out and was replaced"

"A bushing in the steering column was fixed on recall."

"Was a wiggle in the steering wheel, was under recall. Fixed. While I was in the dealer, they upgraded my computer. It created an error that caused a sporadic failure in the accelerator pedal. It was fixed with a patch."

"Wobbling after hitting potholes. Had front left axle replaced - problem solved"

"We discovered issue with the front end and called the dealer. They stated the part we needed was on back order"

"Our mechanic noted significant cupping of the rear tires"

"I've had to replace the tires on the elantra twice in 43,000 miles. I rotate and maintain my tires like clockwork and the first set was worn out in 20,000 miles. Those were replaced with Michelin Defenders and those wore out in 20,000. There is a problem on these cars with tire wear"

"The axle in the back is fixed and can't be adjusted. It's wearing the tires in a cupping way and the tires than can't be rotated because the road noise is too loud."

"Car chewed up rear tires. This car has a fixed, non-adjustable rear trailing arm"

"Stock tires wearing very fast and one has bubble on side"

"this car burns through tires like no vehicle i've ever seen. Im replacing tires due to excessive wear probably every 15-20K miles. I bought this car new, have had it aligned, and regularly rotate, maintain pressure and balance. Im very finicky but can't solve this problem. The garage acknowledged to me this is a known issue on the Elantra due to a solid rear end. This has been a good car other than that one issue so as long as willing to buy tires every year/every other year not an issue."

"The car started having front end noise at 80 kph or greater at about 130,000 km. The car was past its warranty period. I had to replace 2 front wheel bearings and 1 front axle, at a cost of over $1000.00"

"Front wheel bearing went out at about 52,000 miles. Repair was covered under manufacturer drive train warranty"

"Experienced wheel vibration at times when coming to a stop, jacked up front of car and wheel on one side wobbled a little as if the axle nut was loose or wheel bearing was worn. Took to a Hyundai dealer, they verified that the axle nut was loose. I asked how could it come loose, there is a cotter pin or tab that should prevent the axle nut from turning; was told there is a tab and the nuts sometimes come loose. I disagreed, said if axle nuts come loose, there is risk of wheels falling off. I had assumed the work would be under the power train warranty but was told that's not the case (the wording in the warranty is a little iffy.) I said I thought Hyundai should cover anyway, axle nuts shouldn't come loose, especially with only 26000 mileage. Unbelievably I was told that the mileage might be low but the car was 5-years-old and age is a factor; which was ridiculous, axles/wheels only wear when the wheels are turning. But I let that slide, paid and told them I would contact corporate. I contacted Hyundai consumer affairs, sent an email as they requested describing the issue, they said the axle nut was in fact not covered by the power train warranty; but they refunded my payment as a one-time goodwill. I won't be going back to that Hyundai dealer."

"Wheel bearings were shot on passenger front wheel due to a misaligned axle shaft due to a previous TSB for a ring on the axle that was plastic, part failed and was replaced by a metal ring"

"Left front wheel bearing needed to be replaced. Was covered under warranty by dealership"

"Replaceddue to defect"

"Front Left wheel bearing was loose on purchase (used from used-car dealer) at approx. 30,000 miles. Discovered at pre-purchase inspection. Hyundai dealer repaired under warranty after purchase"

"Trunk leaks and water drips in when it is opened after rain. Paint is coming off interior trim. Fogging of instrument displays"

"water leaking into car through the roof during rainstorms. Happens often during heavy rain, water enters car via glasses compartment in cabin ceiling, possibly from sunroof"

"air from windows"

"Leak of windshield above rear view mirror. Found to be caused by a gap in the calking/sealant in that area - manufacturing level defect per the glass repair shop."

"The seal don't seem to be very tight around window and there is a whistling sound at medium speeds (a bout 40-50 miles per hour) that is annoying."

"The door seals are wearing out... I live in NorCal; it's not crazy weather with temp swings, but they're going and they're really expensive to replace"

"Sun roof seal is bad, it causes extra wind noise."

"rough road causes rattles"

"Interior door panels"

"Notified the dealer and they didn't provide a solution"

"A very obnoxious vibration/rattling noise from the dash at low speeds."

"When we apply the brakes there is a squeak/rubbing noise. We have brought it intp the dealership twice to be repaired and the problem is still ocurring."

"upon starting vehicle there is a whining sound."

"All four doors squeak loudly when opening and closing despite using several different lubricants."

"Noise around 20 MPH from passenger door"

"suspension groans/squeeks over low speed bumps and curbs."

"Many Squeaks And Rattles"

"Front wheel squeak when turning"

"Transmission noise"

"The doors squeak badly when the car is on an incline"

"The pebble guards in the wheel wells are poorly attached and rattle even on a moderately rough road"

"Rattle above drivers head"

"suspension groans when backing down a curb"

"Suspension squeaks at low temperatures, below -20C"

"Difficult to isolate rattle in the roof around the dome light made more noticeable after a recall service. Vehicle is quite noisy on the highway from road noise"

"When you open the rear doors there is a loud squeek. No one has been able to correct it"

"Lots of rattles in the doors, dashboard, roof, and trunk (even when empty) after the first three years."

"The air system has developed a rattle, which does not appear to be fixable without disassembling the entire dash..."

"when we getting into our driveway or parking the noise is more...we got it into de dealership to fix it, but they couldn't, they said that it was the brakes, we went for the second time and finally they found the problem,,didn't fixed,,it was expensive."

"Wind noise is very bad when you roll down any of the windows or the sunroof"

"DRIVER'S DOOR"

"It's always had a lot of wind noise"

"It is noisy and my hearing barely exists. We're looking at another car (different brand). It's rated well and the bad issue is it's noisy... That's per CR's review. CR used to rate how loud things were. Wish it would go back to that."

"DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR AIR LEAKS"

"rear window or door not not properly sealed"

"Hear wind noise around the doors and windows while driving."

"DEALER COULD NOT FIX."

"I'm noticing more wind noise at driver's side window."

"Noise Very Annoying"

"wind noise at the passenger window mirror. Dealer said they replaced the mirror but the noise is still there. Even after taping all the seems in the door, hood and widow"

"It's actually road noise...tires, road surface and wind can produce constant background noise that interferes with conversation and radio sound!!!"

"Road noise above 60 mph"

"wind noise.....was so bad we cold not hold a conversation at freewaynspeeds....hyundai could not fix went to hyundai forum and fix it my salf..(mirrores0..about 75% fixwd"

"On Interstate,front end noise is nerve wracking.Believe its caused by wheel wells.Have to almost double volume on radio to hear it"

"At highway speeds it can be hard to hear hear another person in the car. The radio has to be turned up a notch or two"

"Wind and road noise aways present since purchase"

"Just alot of road noise."

"road noise"

"Broken rod"

"Faulty timing chain tensioner and engine internally faulty. Had the short block replaced along with a gasket kit, timing cover and all headbolts"

"The car is built cheaply. It's obvious and scares me. At @13500 miles, the engine had to be replaced. The dealership saw how clean the car engine was and didn't dispute having to replace the engine. I have all the records and it was nice they didn't ask for them. Now, I'm waiting a year and will toss it (sell it) with little value in return for it. We're dumping both cars - Kia and Hyundai and getting one (already planned) that maintains value and is built well and isn't that much more exp"

"Car became noisy shifting up gears Engine became noisy when cold...knocking longer until warm Engine was replaced...free of charge despite being beyond warrantee. Car still pings often when shifting gear, specially if cold. New engine does not knock...thank God!"

"The engine was making knocking sounds. They had to replace the block. It was probably similar issue to recall for other vehicles. It was covered by the warranty. The dealer supplied a loaner car"

"new engine installed under warranty-vehicle taken in for oil changed & requested check of noises -dealer replaced engine at no cost"

"Engine started experiencing piston slap. Hyundai replaced the engine (minus the head) with a new one at no cost"

"Engine had to be replaced because something inside disintegrated and their were metal pieces all through the system. Work was done under the warrantee"

"Piston slap. Hyundai replaced the short block on warranty with lifetime warranty in the new engine"

"recalled bad engine"

"Barring. It had 5,000 miles left under warrentary they replaced the motor."

"Ludicrous junk. Noticed hight pitched squealing when pressing on accelerator. Took it to Hyundai and they rebuilt the engine. I keep waiting for the next issue and this car doesn't disappoint me. My plan is to ditch it in the next months so I don't get nailed with another issue. Money's tight and it's scary owning this thing and the warranty will end soon."

"Loud knocking sound... diagnosed metal in oil... gave me a new engine."

"With 40000 miles the engine started making a loud tapping noise, took it to the dealer who determined the engine needs to be replaced. It is a month out of warranty but Hyundai is going to cover the engine replacement."

"At around 97000 miles, the engine started to mis-fire. After talking to the mechanic, it was determined that one of my cylinders had low compression and a total engine replacement would be neccessary. Since I'm not the original owner, it wasn't covered under the warranty. Apparently, this model, with this engine, is a well-known problem among the local mechanics. We've seen this before isn't something you want to hear when you thought you bought a car that would last over 200,000 miles."

"oil was not getting to the engine properly"

"Engine had to be replaced due to a problem from Hyundai. The car was two months off warranty, so I had to pay for labor."

"The engine had a manufacturing defect. Manufacture replaced the short block of the engine after showing maintenance records. Have heard others with similar problem, engine caught fire from non dealer mechanic. And without maintenance record the manufacturer will not start replacement process."

"These engines are KNOWN to fail at about 60,000 miles. While driving, when you take your foot off of the gas, the engine dies. This means that you could be on the highway or a local street and all you have to do is lift your foot off of the gas and it dies. You have to put it in neutral and re-start it, while other cars are coming you at high rates of speed and you are slowing down. It is an extremely dangerous car to own. We found many complaints about this just by Googling it. Hundai did replace our engine."

"Engine will need replacement, tapping is noticeable even though not too loud yet"

"I heard a strange noise coming from the engine. Had 52K miles on the vehicle. I took it to the Hyundai dealer and they told me that I needed a new engine.I had the oil changed every 5K miles. This should not have happened. I bought this car on your ("

"Clicking sound (like noisy lifters) that continued to get worse over time. I was never told why but got a complete engine rebuild under warranty"

"Car would not run"

"Car was smoking. Not sure of exact problems, but had something to do with pistons or rings"

"It began making noises and the Hyundai dealer had to replace the "short block". The problem was piston slap"

"Loud ticking in engine. Did not affect drivability. There was a TSB on this problem and Hyundai replaced the engine under warranty"

"Piston slap. Was told that this dealership has replaced approx. 20 engines for exact same year and model for this issue"

"Dealership had to replace engine. Covered under warranty"

"Ticking noise detected in engine. Brought car into dealer. They said engine was failing at 98, 700 miles. They replaced the engine and intake manifold at no charge. The 100,000 mile warranty worked out quite well."

"Engine knock. We read that it was a common problem with 2013 Elantra. Car had an extended warranty so after some arguing, they finally agreed to replace the short block under the warranty."

"Found metal in the oil, valves were ticking. Engine rebuild and rental replacement covered by warranty."

"This is a known problem with the engine bore hole, caused serous knocking. Fortunately had all maintenance records to show the car was maintained and the fault was due to maintenance. Manufacturer replace the inside part of the engine at minimal cost. According to mechanic other cars has engine fire, or not replace due to no records. So very weary about Hyundai."

"Heard knocking sounds at only 70,000 mi. Found the engine was throwing metal...don't know why. We had a limited warrenty but not sure that is why hyundai replaced with rebuilt engine but they wouldn't cover labor. We assume they knew engines were failing in these cars but didn't want to admit it or issue broad recall"

"Engine noise just past warranty. Hyundai fixed it at no charge to me as it seemed to be a known major issue with the engine. Runs fine now."

"It was diagnosed by dealer to have rod going out. Dealer had 200,000 mile warranty and engine replacement was covered with warranty on new engine!"

"Ticking sound that indicated future engine failure."

"There was a known problem with the engine but dealer was hesitant to acknowledge it. After my husband insisted, they admitted the issue and the manufacturer replaced the engine."

""Chrome" trim around window dislodged and lost. Wheel center on one wheel dislodged and lost"

"For the second time since purchased the chrome trim below one of the small rear side windows fell off. Dealer repaired at no charge"

"Trim on door at top of window area cracked and peeled"

"Severe ice build up in wheel wells. Hit a bump (even a small one) car bottoms out, ice build up cracks the fender liner and entire plastic front bumper. Happened two winters in a row. AND this car handles terribly in winter roads! NOT a cold"

"Door edge rubber loosens Started after two years"

"Protective Cover under vehicle broke off and the under cover was lost."

"We bought the plastic wood trim kit which was very pretty and added a lot of elegance to our Hyundai Elantra. After 12 months the wood trim started cracking in multiple spots and Hyundai refuses to fix it or replace. Also, our leather steering wheel began to peel and looks very bad. Hyundai also refused to fix the steering wheel claiming it was normal wear and tear. Of course, there was no way this was normal. While I love the look of the Elantra I would never buy one again due to additional issues."

"Around 70,000 miles the driver side sun visor started to sag."

"Parts of r the paint has started to chip away small parts of the paint and one big scrap on the back driver side wheel fender"

"Paint began to fail on the driver's door handle. Had to have it fixed out my own pocket. One month later found paint failure on the driver's side mirror and the driver's side passenger door. Have decided that Hyundai doesn't know how to paint cars am changing cars"

"Some of the window trim has peeling paint"

"The body of this car dents very easily and the paint chips frequently with normal use"

"Paint is very thin on Hyundai products. It frequently chips and is so thin in some areas that the undercoat can be seen thru it."

"Just one area is chalking and fading, and it is a plastic, not a metal part."

"The steering wheel leather cover is disintegrating, to the point that it has marked clothing causing stains that are tough to remove."

"paint is peeling off the door handles"

"Honday would not fix the painting that was peeling off of my roof stop stop I had to have it painted myself. I’m not happy"

"Small, 1/8 inch spot where paint has peeled off"

"Peeling paint around the drivers door"

"Wheels are becoming discolored. Turning from silver to brown/rust color"

"peeling paint on door handles, above trim"

"The trim around the door easily faded and peeled away requiring replacement."

"some parts especially handle, other areas"

"The problem has never been resolved. Around 2 years old it started to rust around any small chips. Eventually the paint started to peel around many of the chipped areas. While researching the issue on recalls.gov I noticed this to be a common problem on many 2013 Hyundai Elantra models."

"Drivers side rocker panel had one rust through hole, about the size of a quarter"

"spots of rust on the front edge of the hood which didn't quite result in perforation, thus weren't covered under the warranty."

"I paid extra for the clear coat which is supposed to help with rock chips. I have to make an apt for chips that have rusted on my car"

"Hood rust due to paint chips"

"The A/C compressor failed- and Hyundai replaced it under warranty at no charge. I was very satisfied with their service and warranty."

"Stopped cooling. Had to be replaced."

"Turning on A/C resulted in warm air and a high-pitched whine from the fan. Thought that this should have been covered by the extended warranty, but it wasn't."

"This goes back to the engine rebuild. When the engine is replaced after it fails at 60,000 miles. the A/C loses it's freon and the system had to be replaced."

"Air Compressor replace under warranty"

"This took a while to diagnose. The technicians had to fill the system with dye and have me drive it for a week to find the coolant leak. The repair was not covered by the extended warranty."

"It started at the beginning of April. The car ac was not as cold. The car would stutter and sometimes it would turn off. I changed the map sensor, it improves but I was still having the same issues. So I changed the fuel pump assembly and that improved the car's performance, but now the ac was cool. In hot days you couldn't feel the ac at all. I will be ordering a new ac compressor and installing it with a friend. I will sent you a feedback when I'm done."

"Re-laced under 5 year warranty"

"The control to direct heat to feet, upper body, etc. will automatically for the the windshield defroster in cold weather causing me to take my eyes off the road to try to change. Dashboard lighting failed and had to have that console (showing speedometer, etc.) replaced."

"short in the rad fan motor and had to be replaced."

"Over the course of six years the blower motor slowly lost speed and quietness. I had to put it on the fastest fan speed to get any sort of cooling effect in the summer and it got to the point it did not keep up. I read about the possible solutions and ended up ordering a replacement fan blower motor and resistor. That did the trick for keeping the car cool in the summer, it just doesn't seem as quiet as it was when new."

"The blower does not blow quietly anymore but is rather raucous. The passenger area doesn't cool down or warm up as it should in more extreme weather."

"In the middle of summer the a/c stopped doing it's job well. Everything seemed to be working but I finally figured out the the motor was not blowing fast enough to push the air. I bought a cheaper non-oem blower motor and resistor to I stall myself. While they weren't a perfect fit they ended up doing the job well enough to make me happy."

"Small stone kicked up through the grill and punctured the condenser"

"Stopped blowing cold air. Dealer replaced condenser and problem went away"

"the defogger does not work very well in this model"

"Heater is incapable of keeping windows defrosted in cold weather"

"A/c is intermittent and was recharged. Remains a problem. Not blowing cold"

"It cost me almost 800$ to fix the leak. First the put a dye in the refrigerant. They discovered a pin hole in a tube. Replaced the tube and added refrigerant. It took 3 visits to get it fixed"

"Leaking discharge hose."

"A/C initially leaked fluid."

"Air Conditioning worked fine up until this spring when I turned it on and it doesn't blow cold air anymore."

"Had to recharge system. Not under warranty. Cost $170"

"The AC started blowing warm over the winter. I took it to my local Midas shop, and they actually mis-diagnosed it: they said the whole AC tube/hose assembly was bad, and needed to be replaced. I bought the part myself on rockauto.com, and had a local shop put it in. The part wouldn't fit, and the local shop actually found the problem was in one particular hose. They were able to replace the hose same-day, recharge the AC system with refrigerant, and everything worked. My 2013 Elantra GT ran and drove fine during when the AC didn't work, it was just warmer than it should be."

"In 2015 the air conditioning stopped working. They filled the refrigerant and it didn't seem to help. Then they realize there was a leak somewhere causing the refrigerant to drain. We thought that would fix the problem. However, again in 2020 the air-conditioning is not working. I really don't want to have to fix this again!"

"The air conditioner stopped working correctly and is now undergoing a diagnostic, which cost almost $250. I don't know how much the repair will cost."

"Sometimes the gear cannot be put into REVERSE or PARKING from DRIVE. You have to shut off the car and restart"

"Clutch doesn't work. Don't know if it is master or slave"

"I don't know if I checked the proper box but my ignition cylinder had to be replaced"

"Shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear transmission hangs briefly. Dealer couldn't solve problem until gets worse"

"The clutch shifted very close to the floor. It evolved to where the engine would engage with the clutch fully to the floor. I would have to put the car in neutral when stopped. My ignorance that there was a problem until it was out of warranty."

"When first starting the car in the mornings, the transmission slipped. The dealer said the temperature sensor had failed and told it it was at -21 degrees. Even though the sensor only a few dollars, I had to pay over $200 for the transmission fluid. NOT a valid “warranty” repair. Not my fault the fluid had to be drained to do the repair.."

"Rough shifting. They adjusted the computer to fix the problem"

"Within first 1000 miles, the six-speed electronic automatic transmission would lock in third gear. On-board computer was replaced and solved the problem."

"absolutely poor shift calibration, down shifts to soon, stays in a lower gear too long. had computer reset"

"Did not know I had developed a leak until it was brought to my attention during routine maintenance. I have found over the years that my dealer does not recommend anything without a full explanation and this minor issue was fixed at what I considered to be a rather modest cast."

"Could not get shifter out of park. Had to restart the engine to get it to shift."

"The transmission shifted roughly in hot weather due to the Transmission Heat Sensor Harness failure. The faulty part was covered under warranty and replaced at the dealer in about 2 hours."

"Prevented me from putting the car either in drive or park depending where it was at the time. replaced solenoid and that fixed the problem"

"The transmission temperature sensor failed and had to be replaced. It was a 3 hour repair but was covered by warranty"

"Car would not start when in park. It took four dealer visits and a Hyundai troubleshooting team to find and resolve the problem"

"It took two visits for the garage to acknowledge the problem...and changing the engine took more than a month. Car was annoying to drive. The lighter ping (after the engine change) was brought to the attention of the dealer service department...will have to leave it at the garage overnight for them to test it when cold...no date set yet"

"At around 70,000 miles the engine developed a continuous ping noise, especially once started up and when given gas at lower speeds"

"diagnosed as possible crank shaft issue. not repaired"

"engine was recalled"

"tapping started a few months ago. I'm concerned that its going to cost a lot to fix"

"Ticking noise in time with the acceleration. Starts loud then becomes negligible after a few miles of driving."

"Ticking sound. The Hyundai dealer said it was the oil pump but that everything was alright. When I went to the internet there were similar cases where it turned out to be an engine. Most indicated that the engine had to be replaced. My car is under warranty. I didn't push it but will in the future."

"Car started to sound like an old diesel of the seventies. It was very loud when started cold, but problem went away somewhat when it warmed up. Went to dealership to assess the problem and they told me that my lower block needed to be replaced"

"Related to the other issue, once the smoke cloud came from the car, the car vaulted itself forward (as a lot of energy finally turned into acceleration). This happened three times before I traded that Elantra (the other one is great) in for the CX-5"

"cold engine is very noisy, and especially so after my favorite mechanic changed the oil the first time. Took car to dealer who told us the oil filter was the wrong type. I'm not sure I believe that, but have been spooked into using Hyundai's filter"

"started 20000 kms ago, problem 90% resolved 02-20"

"At 25000 miles took the car in for state inspection and the techs noticed the motor mount was loose because the engine was shaking. I took it back to dealership and they fixed it immediately"

"I have not yet taken it to be fixed but it is not something I expected for a 3 year old car with low milage. The car also slides on rainy surfaces when brakes are applied to avoid a collision. Disgusted with this car"

"Oil pan was replaced"

"loss of power until the coil was replaced"

"The engine idled rough and stuttered on acceleration. This continued after I replace the the spark plugs. The problems stopped after replaced the ignition coils."

"Car has a rough idle. This was improved by TSB 14 FL-006"

"The parking interrupter switch was defective. The dealer would not acknowledge it, and we had to prove the problem before they would fix it, even though the NHTSA identified it as a known problem"

"Brought in veh. because could not accelerate over 2MPH. Dealer inspected, could not duplicate. Brought back next day w/same problem. They kept my veh. for a month, said they understood 3 other vehicles related same problem but no recall issued. They provided a N/C loaner and then charged me $3,100 for replacement of the eng. harness. Very upset and disappointed."

"There was a sensor that determined if the car was in park when starting the car. This sensor failed, so the car would only start sporadically"

"Engine has misfired twice due to spark plug failure, which leads to the check engine light coming on and engine not running properly"

"Replace an electrical component out of guaranty"

"Car wouldn't start. The plugs were only over the recommended change mileage by about 3,000 miles."

"Dealer diagnosed rough running as needing spark plug change. Plugs and wires changed at 98,000 miles rough running still there"

"one spark wire was loose. engine kept feeling it was going to die out....especially stopped at red light....but it nevervstalled"

"On occasion the car doesn't start. We have had the problem addressed at the dealership several times. The problem is apparently common in Elantras"

"Within a month or two of the warranty expiration the starter stopped working."

"We felt like the brake problems were essentially normal wear & tear, although it did seem like they wore out rather fast. But the axle/drive train problems were rather unexpected, given the age of the car and the relatively easy driving done with it."

"front axle bearings required replacement"

"Axle nuts were loose, causing a loud thunking sound when changing direction, acceleration or decelerating. No known cause was determined"

"The axle nut was not completely tightened at the factory"

"The right transaxle fell off. I had extended warranty"

"My battery died, overnight, with no warning. It took over 8 minutes to jump it, and the garage had to jump it again to get it into the bay. There was nothing left on, or plugged in. The mechanic said the battery had failed completely and was corroded"

"The manual climate control system stopped working (AC wont engage, fan controls don't work etc). The vehicle has been in to the dealer numerous times for the same problem."

"Inhibitor Switch"

"had to replace a Crankshaft Position Sensor, which is unacceptable for a 2013 car driven for only 45,000 miles"

"The ESC light comes on without warning and stays on. Had the ESC sensor fixed once by Hyundai and the problems has occurred again and needs resolved"

"Progarming is not right at all. grew up in snow belt near Erie PA, used to snow, have to turn traction control off to get in driveway. Car does great in snow, as long as T/C is turned off. If any slip is noted it shuts engine down to where it will not move at all if any slip is detected. Have new dedicated snow tires on car for winter"

"Seatbelts in rear of vehicle are seldom used. They frayed and had to be replaced."

"seats often don't latch properly when moving them backward or forward"

"Driver seat warmer stopped working. Not covered by warranty because electrical."

"Sunroof leaking issue...currently waiting for repair"

"Trim piece to the left of the sunroof popped off when opening the sunroof. Was cover under warranty at the time and has not happened since"

"Piston on Tailgate hatch failed."

"chrome molding on extreme rear (fixed) window of my 5 door fell off. I noticed it at 69000 miles and car was 4 years old. Hyundai refused to honor repair/replacement under warranty and to fix I need to replace the entire window rather that the 6 inch chrome molding"

"Driver's window switch replacement"

"Purge control valve failed resulting in car not starting. Had to be towed to dealer"

"Fuel cap will not open at times. Have had it to the local Hyundai shop twice to no avail. It always opens when I am there. Have had to stop driving the car at times until I can get the cap to open again. Hyundai shop says it is not a problem but that is only for them that no problem exists."

"twice the gauge showed empty when it wasn't"

"fuel pump went bad around 3700 miles on it"

"Recall"

"The TMPS tire pressure sensors NEVER worked correctly from the day I purchased the vehicle. The light would flash or stay on, etc. I took it back to the dealership and they kept it a couple of times for about a week at a time and never could fix it. They replace the vehicle sensors, computer, etc. The way it was finally fixed is rather unbelievable. The bluetooth on the car radio quit and I replaced the entire radio with an aftermarket system and now my TPMS sensors work the way they should. That has been over a year ago."

"Auto transmission 'died in first three weeks'. Car wouldn't backup"

"The clutch and transmission problems were tied together."
