Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2011-2012 Hyundai Elantra and Sonata Hybrid, 2012 Accent and Veloster vehicles. The 12V accessory socket outlet may have been over-tightened during installation, possibly disabling the thermal fuse and allowing the outlet to overheat with prolonged use, such as by using the Tire Mobility Kit air compressor to inflate a tire.
An overheated accessory outlet increases the risk of fire.

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Elantra vehicles manufactured October 29, 2010, to October 25, 2011.

THE KNOB ON TO TURN ON FAN FOR A/C STARTING TO NOT WORK UNLESS I TUNED IT ON AND OFF. THEN A FEW DAYS AGO, WHILE I WAS IDLING IN A PARKING LOT, THE KNOB GOT STUCK WITH THE A/C ON. I STARTED TO SMELL BURNING & WHEN I TRIED TO TURN IT OFF THE KNOB CAME OFF AND I SAW SMOKE COMING FROM WHERE THE KNOB WAS. I TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE, REMOVED THE FUSE FOR THE A/C AND DROVE HOME. WHEN I WENT TO REPLACE IT AND REMOVE THE OLD ONE, I NOTICED THAT THE PLUG THAT CONNECTS TO THE CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT IS ALSO BURNED. THE PLUG AND THE WIRES CONNECTED TO IT LEAD TO A BUNCH OF WIRES THAT ARE WIRED TOGETHER. AT THIS POINT, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH THE FUSE FOR THE CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT ISN'T IN. IF I LEAVE THE UNIT DISCONNECTED, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE BY HAZARDS. IF I HADN'T REMOVED THE FUSE OR IF I HAD BEEN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY OR FREEWAY THE CAR MAY HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE REPLACING THIS PART. MAYBE IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE HAD SOMEONE GET THE CODE WHICH IS P0711. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION TEMP SENSOR IF THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TO HAPPEN TO MANY MANY PEOPLE. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME $500-1000. THIS SHOULD BE HYUNDAI'S BILL TO PAY.

THE LEFT FRONT MCPHERSON STRUT CRACKED AND THE SPRING PUNCTURED THE TIRE. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE RIGHT FRONT SPRING WAS ALSO BROKEN EXCEPT WHERE IT BROKE THE SPRING DID NOT DAMAGE THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. THE CAR WAS MOVING BUT SLOWLY, THANKFULLY AT THE TIME. I NEVER HAD A SPRING BREAK ON ANY CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED, MUCH LESS TWO SPRINGS ON THE SAME CAR. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME THING BUT HYUNDAI CORPORATION SAYS MY CAR WAS NOT IN THE RECALL.

MY 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HAS THIS TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE FOR OVER 12MONTHS. I HAS CONSTANTLY CALLED EVEN HAD THE CAR TOWED 4 TO 5 TIMES TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME THING THAT THE HYUNDAI MOTOR WANT AND WOULDN'T DECLARED THE CAR A LEMON. THE CAR CONSTANTLY WOULD NOT START OR WHEN IT DID START WHILE DRIVING IT WOULD SLOW DOWN AND THEN SHUT COMPLETELY OFF WHERE I WOULD HAVE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BACK UP. THE CAR IS ALWAYS KEEPED IN A CLOSE GARAGE AND REGARDLESS TO THE WEATHER IT CONTINUE TO MAKE THIS LOUD RAZZING NOISE IN THE ENGINE. SERVICE MANAGER CHAD REPEATEDLY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER. NOW THE DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO PAY 7000 DOLLARS FOR A NEW ENGINE

I RECENTLY HAD TO SLAM MY BRAKES DUE TO A DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME. AND RIGHT AT ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE ACCELERATION TO MY CAR WHILE IN DRIVE WILL NOT GO. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND ITS READING A COUPLE OF CODES T THE SENSORS. I SAW THAT IN A SEARCH WHILE TRYING TO FIX THE ISSUE THAT IT HAS BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THE ESC. I AM VERY UPSET THAT I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL THAT IS RELATED TO MY VIN NUMBER. THIS HAPPENS AT A PARKING LOT NEAR CHUCK E CHEESE ON MY SONS BIRTHDAY AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK HOME. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE MY CAR IN A WEEK NOW BECAUSE WE ARE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WICH SENSOR IT IS AND IF I REPLACE IT WHAT WILL EVEN HAPPEN.

THE CAR WILL NOT START DESPITE THE BATTERY BEING CHARGED AND NO APPARENT ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE WHICH LEFT ME STRANDED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A RANGE SWITCH ISSUE. I DO HAVE A DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY; THIS SHOULD BE COVERED; HOWEVER, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!

ENGINE TICKING AT IDLE AND ACCELERATION. HAD LIFTERS REPLACED AND OIL PUMP COSTING $1500. ENGINE CONTINUED WITH TICKING NOISE. BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHICH IS 2.5 HOURS AWAY. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW MOTOR. HYUNDAI HAS DECLINED THE REQUEST RELATED TO MILEAGE AND TIME. REALLY. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 79,000 MILES ON IT. HYUNDAI CURRENTLY HAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT RELATED TO THE TICKING NOISE. HYUNDAI KNOWS THAT THE ENGINES ARE FAULTY BUT REFUSE TO PUT OUT A RECALL. HOW CAN YOU LET HYUNDAI CONTINUE TO RESELL THESE CARS. THIS IS BASICALLY FRAUD. HYUNDAI ELANTRAS FROM 2011-2016 WITH THE 1.8L ENGINE ARE THE ONES AFFECTED. HYUNDAI DOESN'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A MOTOR GOING WITH ONLY 79,000 MILES ON IT. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING TO MAKE HYUNDAI ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR FAULTY PRODUCTS. TAKE THE VEHICLES WITH THE 1.8L OFF THE MARKET.
