Recalls and investigations
Service brakes, hydraulic, antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip, control unit/moduleFeb 4, 2020
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.

Exterior lighting, brake lights, switchApr 1, 2013
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.

Wheels, Service brakes, Jun 3, 2014
AT 36,000 MILES I NEEDED ALL NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS AND THE 2 FRONT TIRES WERE COMPLETELY WORN TO EXTREME UNSAFE CONDITION. SPENT OVER $680 TO REPAIR IT ALL. *TR
Power train, Jun 3, 2014
VEHICLE SHAKES AND RATTLES INSIDE AT 35-40 MPH,ALSO DECREASED ACCELERATION! NOISY, UNCOMFORTABLE AND EMBARRASSING. *TR
Power train, Jun 2, 2014
WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE BEFORE ACCELERATING. ALSO WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS PUT INTO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE BEFORE SUDDENLY MOVING BACKWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BUT NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE DEFECT AFTER BEING DIAGNOSED. THIS IS STARTING TO HAPPEN DAILY. I HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY PEOPLE ON THIS SITE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE IT BECOMES A BIGGER PROBLEM. IT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND ENTER HIGHWAYS IT'S A PROBLEM. THE CAR HESITATES AND REVS BEFORE ACCELERATING. *TR
Steering, May 28, 2014
I STARTED MY CAR AND THE EPS AND ESC OFF LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED, AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAD HAPPENED SINCE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE USED IN 2011. THE FIRST TIME, SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING FIXED THE PROBLEM. I ALSO TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AT THE TIME, AND THEY CLAIMED THAT THE FIX WAS AN UPDATE TO THE COMPUTER. THE ISSUE DIDN'T APPEAR AGAIN UNTIL MAY 2014, AND THIS TIME THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO WORK EVEN AFTER MULTIPLE RESTARTS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE STEERING COLUMN HAS FAILED AN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND WILL COST $2100. NOT ONLY DOES THIS DEFECTIVE STEERING COLUMN THAT I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE CITATIONS OF IN THIS DATABASE PRESENT A POTENTIALLY LARGE EXPENSE TO HYUNDAI OWNERS OUTSIDE OF THEIR WARRANTY, BUT A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF THE STEERING FAILS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, AS I HAVE SEEN IN OTHER CASES. I WAS LUCKY IT WAS JUST IN MY DRIVEWAY. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI DIRECTLY ABOUT THIS, AND THEY COULDN'T CARE LESS, AND MOST CERTAINLY WOULDN'T COVER IT AS A DEFECTIVE PART, AS I AM 12K MILES OUT OF MY WARRANTY. THEY ARE CLEARLY IGNORING THE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY CONCERNS OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. BUYER BEWARE. *TR
Steering, May 19, 2014
TL * THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED ON THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND VEERED OFF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT ALL OF THE ELECTRONICS AND THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

I BOUGHT 4 MICHELIN TIRES ON 11/02/2012. A 90,000 MILE TIRE. < 40,000 MILES 2 OF THE 4 TIRES HAVE UNEXPLAINED WEARING AND 1 TIRE HAS A BUBBLE. MICHELIN DEFENDER XT 195/65R15 (GREEN X)90,000 MILE WEAR. THE CAR AND TIRES ARE SERVICED ON A REGULAR BASIS. *TR
Steering, Apr 23, 2014
AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED TO THE SIDE AND BOTH THE EPS AND ESC OFF LIGHTS BECAME ILLUMINATED. I DROVE A LITTLE FURTHER AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY HARD TO MOVE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL GARAGE AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND SERVICE. LUCKILY I WAS JUST DRIVING IN MY LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD, IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY I MAY HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Power train, Apr 22, 2014
I WAS APPROACHING HIGHWAY FROM CITY ROADS AND I HAD TO ACCELERATE TO GET IN THE FLOW. SUDDENLY, I FELT THAT EVEN THOUGH I WAS ACCELERATING, CAR DID NOT GAIN SPEED. I CHECKED RPMS AND IT WAS QUITE HIGH FOR THE SPEED THAT CAR WAS MOVING. IT LOOKED TO ME AS IF CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL GEAR BUT IT WAS NOT. THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT MY CAR BECAUSE THE DRIVER WAS EXPECTING MY CAR TO MOVE FASTER. I HAD TO STOP ON SHOULDER TO CHECK WHAT IS HAPPENING. I HAD THIS KIND OF EXPERIENCE BEFORE TOO BUT NOT LIKE THIS ONE. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS BACK IN CITY TRAFFIC. WHAT MY OBSERVATION IS, THAT WHEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GOES FROM 2ND GEAR TO 3RD, THERE IS A PROBLEM. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR, EVEN THEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SMOOTH BUT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM LIKE THE ONE I MENTIONED EARLIER. BUT AS THE MILEAGE IS INCREASING, THE PROBLEM IS GETTING BIGGER TOO. I DO REGULAR OIL CHANGE AS I HAVE PURCHASED SERVICE PLAN WHEN BUYING THE CAR. I HAD COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ABOUT IT(TRANSMISSION HAVING PROBLEM) COUPLE OF TIMES BUT THEY SAID THEY DID NOT FEEL IT. I THINK THEY WERE NEGLECTING THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE IS PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION AND THAT COSTS A BIG AMOUNT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT AN EXPERT. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Power train, Apr 18, 2014
WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR AND THE RPMS GO SKY HIGH AND THE CAR RUNS LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE TO TAP THE BRAKE BEFORE IT WILL ADJUST AND GO BACK INTO GEAR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIGGER PROBLEM WHEN CARRYING PASSENGERS. THE ADDED WEIGHT APPEARS TO BE A FACTOR. IT'S RATHER DANGEROUS SINCE IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING AND HAPPENED JUST THIS PAST WEEKEND WHEN DRIVING IN MINNEAPOLIS, MN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. MILEAGE REPORTED IS ESTIMATED FOR WHEN I FIRST NOTED THIS PROBLEM APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO. NOT KNOWING A LOT ABOUT CARS, I DIDN'T THINK TO REPORT IT. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR, I WAS TYPICALLY DRIVING FROM HOME TO WORK AND BACK, BUT HAVE BEEN TRAVELING MORE FREQUENTLY IN THE LAST YEAR DUE TO FAMILY ACTIVITIES. THE PROBLEM OCCURS MORE OFTEN ON LONGER TRIPS. *TR
Visibility, Apr 16, 2014
WHILE DRIVING I WENT TO DIM THE REAR VIEW MIRROR BECAUSE SOMEONE HAD THEIR BRIGHTS ON ME AND THE REAR VIEW MIRROR FELL OFF. IT SHOCKED ME AND SO WHEN I PULLED OVER TO LOOK AT EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED I NOTICED THAT IT WAS NOT THE ADHESIVE TO JUST WEAR OFF, A CHUNK OF THE GLASS CAME OFF WITH THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. THERE IS CURRENTLY A HOLE IN MY WINDSHIELD, IT IS NOT ALL THE WAY THROUGH BUT A MECHANIC SAID IF I EVEN HIT A POTHOLE TOO HARD THE WINDSHIELD CAN SHATTER. I AM NOT THE HULK AND CAN'T RIP APART GLASS SO THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM ARE UNABLE TO SEE ME TOMORROW AND I REALLY HOPE THAT THIS CAN BE RESOLVED. THANK YOU. *TT
Steering, Apr 8, 2014
AFTER A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, POWER STEERING AND STABILITY CONTROL NO LONGER FUNCTIONED. DEALER SAID A COMPUTER UPDATE WOULD LIKELY FIX THE PROBLEM. IT DID NOT. THEY SAID ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN. PART ALONE IS $2200. *TR
Steering, Apr 7, 2014
WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 30 MPH THE EPS LIGHT WENT ON AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OFF. I DROVE THE CAR ABOUT A MILE TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY RE-CALIBRATED THE SENSOR. THE CAR OPERATED FINE FOR TWO DAYS AND THEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN,( ALTHOUGH IT DOES RESET WHEN THE CAR IS RESTARTED). I THEN TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, WHERE I WAS TOLD THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT WAS LOCATED IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IS RATHER COSTLY TO FIX. *TR

APRIL 1ST 2014 AT APROX. 9:15AM WHILE PERFORMING AN EMERGENCY ACCELERATION IN A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SE WITH APROX.103000 MILES CAR BECAME STUCK ACCELERATING AND CONTINUED TO DO ONCE FOOT WAS LIFTED FROM BOTH PEDALS. BRAKES WERE EFFECTIVE AT SLOWING VEHICLE BUT ENGINE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AT FULL THROTTLE. TAPPING ACCELERATOR WAS TRIED AND WAS INEFFECTIVE. CAR WAS SHIFTED BY OPERATOR INTO NEUTRAL AND RED-LINED ON RPM. OPERATOR SLAMMED ACCELERATOR PEDDLE TO FLOOR AGAIN AND UNINTENDED ACCELERATION STOPPED AND CAR RETURNED TO NORMAL FUNCTION. NO CRUISE CONTROL WAS BEING USED, NO HAZARD WARNING SYMBOLS CAME ON. CAR WAS SHIFTED BACK TO DRIVE AND NO ACCIDENT OR INJURY OCCURRED. CAR ACCELERATED TO APROX 70MPH UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. CAR WAS BROUGHT TO A HYUNDAI DEALER FOR SERVICE A FEW HRS LATER WHO NOTED AND SHOWED CUSTOMER HOW OEM FLOOR MATS WHEN PROPERLY INSTALLED CAN POP UP AND TRAP ACCELERATOR PEDDLE DOWN IF ACCELERATOR PEDDLE IS FORCED TO FLOOR RAPIDLY. DEALER WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE ISSUE AND REMOVED FLOOR MAT FROM MOUNTING ON FLOOR AND LEFT LOOSE IN DRIVER'S FOOT AREA. CUSTOMER PUT FLOOR MAT IN BACK SEAT TO AVOID ISSUES. *TR
Steering, Mar 25, 2014
FIRST TIME THE INCIDENT OCCURRED, DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 20MPH, SLOWING DOWN AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND THE ESC LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO STOP THE CAR AND RESTART IT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC TO REGAIN POWER STEERING. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING DAY. I WAS TOLD THE POWER STEERING NEEDED AN "UPDATE". AFTER THE UPDATE THE SAME THING HAPPENED A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WE WERE TOLD THE STEERING WHEEL NEEDED CALIBRATION, SO THE STEERING WHEEL WAS RE CALIBRATED AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED AND SO THE MALFUNCTION WOULD NOT REOCCUR. HOWEVER, THE MALFUNCTION HAPPENED A 3RD TIME, ON 3/25, WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20MPH IN TRAFFIC, POWER STEERING SHUT OFF AND THE ESC LIGHT CAME ON. WE WILL TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. THIS ISSUE IS UNSAFE AS WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT, WE HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE MALFUNCTION OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING AND POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK IF IT OCCURS AT A HIGH SPEED. *TR

Vehicle speed control, Engine, Feb 8, 2014
WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, I SUDDENLY HAD A UNINTENDED AND VERY RAPID ACCELERATION. WITH MY FOOT MASHING THE BRAKE PEDAL I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE CAR ENOUGH TO COMPLETE THE PARK (IT DID NOT COMPLETELY STOP). I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE REALLY REVVED UP. ONCE I WAS SURE THE CAR WAS NOT GOING ANYWHERE, I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE I WAS STEPPING ON THE BRAKE (AND NOT ON THE GAS PEDAL). I THEN TOUCHED THE GAS PEDAL (OR SHIFTED IN PARK) AND THE ENGINE WENT BACK TO NORMAL. I CHECKED THE FLOOR MAT AND IT WAS IN NORMAL POSITION. I HAD A SIMILAR BUT WAY LESS DRAMATIC (MUCH LOWER RPMS) A MONTH PREVIOUS. THE CAR ACTED FINE AFTER THIS. I REPORTED THIS TO HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA AND THEY ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER TO ME. I BROUGHT IT TO A HYUNDAI DEALER AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THIS EVENT WAS VERY TERRIFYING AND I AM NOT SURE I WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR

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 DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IN A RAIN STORM AND LOST HER POWER STEERING. THE EPS (ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING) LIGHT ILLUMINATED. SHE WAS LUCKY SHE DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. SHE PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER, TURNED HER CAR OFF, THEN STARTED IT AGAIN. THE EPS LIGHT WENT OUT AND THE POWER STEERING WAS AGAIN WORKING. I PERFORMED AN INTERNET SEARCH AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THE HYUNDAI EPS SYSTEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED IMMEDIATELY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR
