Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2007-2010 Elantra and 2009-2011 Elantra Touring vehicles. On February 21, 2020 Hyundai expanded the recall to include 46,425 model year 2007-2008 Entourage and 2007 Santa Fe vehicles. Moisture may enter the Anti-lock Brake (ABS) Module and result in an electrical short.
An electrical short within the ABS Module may cause an engine compartment fire, even when the car is turned off, increasing the risk of an injury.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will install a relay in the vehicle's main junction box to prevent the risk of an ABS short-circuit while the car is turned off, free of charge. The recall began April 2, 2020. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 188.

Steering, electric power assist systemFeb 23, 2015
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 Elantra vehicles manufactured June 1, 2008, to April 30, 2010, and 2009-2010 Elantra Touring vehicles manufactured November 1, 2008, to April 30, 2010. The electronic power steering (EPS) electronic control unit (ECU) may sense a discrepancy in the steering input signals and, as a result, disable the steering power assist.
If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will verify the proper operation of the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) and update the EPS control unit, free of charge. The recall began April 14, 2015. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-671-3059. Hyundai's number for this recall is 127.

Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 Accent, model year 2007-2011 Azera, Sonata and Sante Fe,2006-2011 Tucson, 2009-2011 Elantra Touring, 2007-2010 Elantra, 2008-2011 Veracruz, 2009-2011 Genesis, 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, 2007-2008 Entourage, and 2006-2008 Tiburon vehicles. Originally, in April 2013, Hyundai recalled 1,059,824 model year 2007-2009 Accent and Tucson, model year 2007-2010 Elantra, model year 2007-2011 Santa Fe, model year 2008-2009 Veracruz, model year 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, and model year 2011 Sonata vehicles. In September 2013, Hyundai informed the agency that it was adding more vehicles to this campaign, representing an additional 652,512 units. The total number of vehicles being recalled is now 1,712,336. In the affected vehicles, the stop lamp switch may malfunction. A malfunctioning stop lamp switch may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or may cause an inability to deactivate the cruise control by depressing the brake pedal. Additionally, a malfunctioning stop lamp switch may also result in intermittent operation of the push-button start feature, affect the operation of the brake transmission shift interlock feature, preventing the shifter from being moved out of the PARK position and cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) malfunction light to illuminate.
Failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or inability to disengage the cruise control could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, when the ignition is in the 'ON' position, the transmission shifter may be able to be moved out of Park without first applying the brake. This may lead to unintentional movement of the car which may increase the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the stop lamp switch, free of charge. The safety recall began on April 22, 2013. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's recall campaign number is 110.

WHILE MY WIFE, LINDA, WAS DRIVING LESS THAN 1-2 MPH, TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ENGINE STARTED RACING AND LEAPED FORWARD. HITTING THE BRAKES HAD NO EFFECT ON STOPPING THE VEHICLE. SHE DESPERATELY TURNED THE WHEEL TO MISS PARKED CARS, A STEEL POLE WAS HIT AND TORN OUT OF THE GROUND BY THE RUNAWAY VEHICLE. FINALLY THE CAR CAME TO REST AFTER HITTING A LARGE CONCRETE LIGHT POLE, WHICH MUST HAVE STALLED OUT THE ENGINE. MY WIFE WAS IN A STATE OF SHOCK AND HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL FOR TESTS / XRAYS. EVEN WITH THE SEAT BELT ON, SHE RECEIVED MAJOR IMPACT FROM THE STEERING WHEEL TO HER CHEST.

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.

THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM CHECK VALVE SUDDENLY FAILED WHILE DRIVING RESULTING IN VASTLY REDUCED BRAKING POWER AND NEAR INABILITY TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LET THE CAR SLOW NATURALLY AND TURN ONTO A SIDE ROAD. IF I HAD BEEN APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN INJURED OR KILLED. WHEN INSPECTED THE VACUUM LINE WAS COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED FROM THE VALVE RESULTING IN NO POWER FROM THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS PART OF THE VEHICLE HAD NEVER BEEN SERVICED.

DRIVING ELANTRA TOURING 2010 ( WITH LESS THAN 28500 MILES) IN A LOCAL STREET, AND ALL OF SUDDEN THE VEHICLE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE TURN SIGNAL AND UNABLE TO OPERATE THE STEERING. THERE WERE SEVERAL LIGHTS, INCLUDING THE "ESC" WAS ON. IT IS REALLY SCARY WHEN VEHICLE STOPPED RESPONDING WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET. I AM NOT SURE ANY RECALL AVAILABLE TO REMEDIATE THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

MY VEHICLE PREVIOUSLY FAILED A STATE SAFETY INSPECTION FOR FAILED BRAKE LIGHTS JUST SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE (OCTOBER 2010). JUST PRIOR TO THIS FAILED INSPECTION, I'D NOTICED THAT THE "ESC OFF" LIGHT ON THE DASH WOULD TURN ON UNEXPECTEDLY. MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH, WHICH ALSO REMEDIED THE "ESC OFF" LIGHT ISSUE. JUST OVER A MONTH AGO, THE "ESC OFF" LIGHT ON THE DASH AGAIN BEGAN TO TURN ON WITHOUT REASON. A FEW DAYS AGO, WHILE MERGING ONTO AN INTERSTATE NEAR MY HOME, A VEHICLE BEHIND MINE BARELY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT WITH ME WHEN I HAD TO SUDDENLY SLOW TO MAKE A MERGE. THE DRIVER KINDLY ALERTED ME THAT HE DID NOT NOTICE ANY BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN I SUDDENLY STOPPED. SO, IT SEEMS AS IF I AM AGAIN GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH, WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM IN A NUMBER OF HYUNDAI VEHICLES, REPAIRED. *TR

Service brakes, Dec 30, 2012
I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO FIRESTONE AUTO FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN FOUND THAT WHEN HE APPLIED THE BRAKES THEY PULSATED. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION HE FOUND THAT ALL OF THE BRAKE ROTORS ARE RUSTED AND PITTED. THE REAR ROTORS ARE WORST THAN THE FRONT. HE ALSO NOTED THAT THE REAR BRAKE SHOES ARE WORN OUT AND NEED REPLACED. NORMALLY THE FRONT PADS ARE REPLACED TWICE TO ONCE IN THE REAR. MY GUESS IS THAT THE ROTORS CAUSED THE REAR PADS TO WEAR OUT PREMATURELY. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND THEY SAID THAT THE ROTORS ARE WARRANTED FOR 5 YEARS / 60,000 MILES BUT ONLY MANUFACTURED DEFECTS ARE COVERED. THEY SAID THAT RUSTING AND PITTING FROM WEATHER CONDITIONS IS NOT COVERED. SHOULD I HAVE KEPT THEM OILED SO THEY DIDN'T RUST? I HAVE A 2006 KIA WITH OVER 113,000 MILES ON IT AND THE ROTORS ARE STILL PERFECT WITH NO RUST OR CORROSION. BOTH VEHICLES HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO THE SAME DRIVING AND WEATHER CONDITIONS. HAD I NOT PAINT FOR THE VEHICLE INSPECTION AND BEEN TOLD THAT THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS WERE BAD. I COULD HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO BRAKE FAILURE OR POSSIBLY ONE OF THEM HANGING UP AND CAUSING A SPIN OUT CONDITION. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON I85 SOUTH APPROACHING THE EXIT 17 WHERE I HAD PLANNED TO EXIT, AS I BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKE THE ENGINE WAS RACING, AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE, I COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE, I TURNED RIGHT ONTO THE EXIT, THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN, I COULD NOT MAKE THE COMPLETE TURN, I FRACTURED MY LEFT THUMB, AND BROKE THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE TRYING TO AVOID CRASHING INTO SOME TREES THAT WERE IN THE PATH OF THE VEHICLE, I CONTINUED TO TRY TO STOP THE VEHICLE BUT IT KEPT GOING; I ENDED UP CRASHING INTO AN EMBANKMENT JUST A COUPLE OF FEET OFF OF THE RAMP ROAD ON I85 NORTH. UPON THE IMPACT OF THE VEHICLE CRASHING INTO THE EMBANKMENT THE AIRBAG EXPLODED LIKE A BALLOON AND THEN DEFLATED, IT DID NOT PROTECT MY BODY FROM THE IMPACT, I EXPERIENCED BACK FRACTURES, HEMOPERITONEUM, AND BOWL PERFORATION FROM THE SEAT BELT, I FRACTURED MY LEFT THUMB WHILE STEERING THE VEHICLE, I WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR 9 DAYS, AND RECEIVED SURGERY ON MY BOWEL. THE BODY SHOP WHILE WRITING AN ESTIMATE STARTED THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE ACCELERATOR IS STILL STUCK (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL). I DID CONTACT HYUNDAI AND SENT THEM AUTHORIZATION TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER AFTER READING ABOUT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, AND THE PROBLEMS OF OTHER DRIVERS HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THE COMPONENT, I DECIDED TO CONTACT YOUR OFFICE. I DON'T WANT HYUNDAI TO TAMPER WITH THE VEHICLE AND ALTER OR DESTROY THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE AND CHANGE THE STATUS OF THE ACCELERATOR IN ITS PRESENT STATE. IS IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE? I AM CONCERNED THAT OTHER DRIVERS OF THESE VEHICLES MAY ENCOUNTER THE SAME PROBLEMS, I WAS BLESSED BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL,AND HAD THE ON COMING VEHICLES ARRIVED SECONDS EARLIER THERE COULD HAVE BEEN MULTI A CAR CRASH.

TRUNK LID OPENS BY ITSELF EITHER WHEN DRIVING OR WHILE PARKED. HAD MY 2010 ELANTRA TOWED TO DEALER SATURDAY 03/05/11 AFTER HEARING A LOUD SOUND UNDER REAR OF CAR AS IF SOMETHING METAL HAD BROKEN, THEN IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING UNDER THE REAR OF THE CAR HAD DROPPED, THEN A LOUD SCRAPING NOISE OCCURRED, THIS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING RIGHT INTO MY PAVED DRIVEWAY. I STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND LOOKED UNDER THE CAR, THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE ROAD OR MY DRIVEWAY. AS I PULLED THE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY LOUD RATTLING AND SCRAPING SOUNDS AND SOUNDS OF SPRINGS STRETCHING AND BREAKING WERE COMING FROM THE LEFT REAR WHEEL, I LOOKED FOR ANYTHING FOREIGN STUCK IN THE WHEELS AND SAW NOTHING. THE DEALER SAID ALL THEY FOUND WAS RUST ON THE ROTOR. GIVE ME A BREAK, ALL ROTORS RUST AND IT RAINED ALL DAY SUNDAY BEFORE THEY LOOKED AT THE CAR. I HAD DRIVEN THE CAR AT LEAST 45 MILES THAT SATURDAY BEFORE THIS ALL OCCURRED, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO RUST LEFT ON THE BRAKING SURFACE OF THE ROTORS BY THEN. BESIDES RUST DOES NOT CAUSE THE SOUNDS THAT I HEARD. ALSO WHEN THE CAR WAS UP ON THE FLAT-BED I NOTICED THE LEFT REAR WHEEL WAS ON A SLANT. I WILL ASK THE DEALER TO FULLY INSPECT THE SUSPENSION AND IF THEY CAN PULL THE REAR ROTORS OFF TO INSPECT THE EMERGENCY BRAKES AND TO CHECK OUT WHY THE TRUNK LID OPENS BY ITSELF ON TUESDAY 03/08/11, AND I WILL LET THE NHTSA KNOW THE RESULTS. UPDATED IVOQ 03/11/11 *TR
