An overheated accessory outlet increases the risk of fire.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Tire Mobility Kit accessory outlet plug with a direct-to-battery connection wire harness kit, free of charge.

SUNROOF SHATTERING: WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY IN VIRGINIA ON 3/25/16 I HEARD A CRACK, POP, AND THEN SHATTERING. PIECES OF GLASS COULD BE HEARD SLIDING OVER THE TOP OF THE CAR AND SEEN IN THE BACK WINDOW. NO ITEM WAS SEEN INSIDE OF THE CAR TO SUGGEST AN OUTSIDE OBJECT BREAKING THE GLASS. I DROPPED OFF THE CAR AT THE HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN WHITE FLINT.

Engine, Mar 23, 2016
OUR 2012 ELANTRA BEGAN MAKING KNOCKING SOUNDS DURING COLD STARTS. THE NOISE WAS FAINTER WHEN THE ENGINE WAS WARM BUT NEVER DISAPPEARED COMPLETELY. THE SOUND BECAME LOUDER WHEN THE WEATHER WAS COLDER. WHEN I ORIGINALLY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, I TOLD THEM THAT I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM MAY HAVE BEEN THE TIMING BELT BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THE 2012 HAD A TIMING CHAIN AND NOT A BELT. WHEN THE NOISE BECAME TOO LOUD, I FINALLY TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK OF THE ENGINE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE CONNECTING ROD BEARING AND A NEW ENGINE WAS NECESSARY. I AM AWARE THAT THE 2011-2013 SONATA WAS RECALLED IN 2015 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THOUGHT THAT THE ELANTRA WAS EXEMPT.

TAKATA INFLATORS FIRST DAY I GOT THE CAR, I WAS DRIVING SLOW DUE TO POOR CONDITIONS (SNOW) WHEN I TRIED TO STOP BRAKES MADE A GRINDING NOISE CAR PULLED OFF TO ONE SIDE. I CAME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO SMASHING INTO A SNOW BANK. I ASSUMED THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THE ROAD CONDITIONS. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY, EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE I APPLY THE BREAKS, HEAR THE GRINDING NOISE AAND LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. IM VERY LUCKY AND SURPRISED I HAVENT GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. ITS EXTREMELY SCARY AND I ABSOLUTELY HATE DRIVING THE CAR IN FEAR OF THIS HAPPENING AND CAUSING A CRASH.

MY 2012 ELANTRA LTD EDITION HAS A KEYLESS ENTRY AND PUSH BUTTON TO START. RECENTLY I AM HAVING PROBLEM TO OPEN THE DOORS OR START THE CARS. SOMETIMES IT STARTS THE ENGINE AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. I AM SURPRISED THIS PROBLEM IS LOT MORE COMMON IN THE FORUM AND IT HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE BY HYUNDAI OR NHTSA. I AM MISSING MY WORK. THIS IS MY SECOND HYUNDAI AND THIS IS IT. NO MORE HYUNDAI FOR ME. I PAID BIG BUCKS FOR IT AND NO ONE CARES. I HAVE LEFT THE MESSAGE TO THE DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING AND THEY HAVE NOT CALLED ME. I HAD OWNED MANY CARS BEFORE AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS.
Air bags, Engine, Mar 8, 2016
AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON DEALER REPORTS IT IS A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING. I SEE THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE IN THE PAST WITH OTHER HYUNDAI YEARS AND THE DEALER STATES IT IS A PROBLEM THEY FREQUENTLY SEE.

Steering, Feb 27, 2016
THE STEERING STICKS WHEN DRIVING RELATIVELY STRAIGHT, ALL SPEEDS, AND APPLYING SMALL CORRECTIVE MOVEMENT. THE DEALERS CLAIM THAT THIS IS CAUSED AS THE ELECTRIC STEERING ASSIST "IDLES" WHEN THE SENSORS SAY THE CAR IS GOING STRAIGHT, HOWEVER, WE ALL KNOW SMALL CORRECTIONS ARE REQUIRED ON STRAIGHT ROADS. VERY SCARY WHEN YOU HAVE TO MOMENTARILY FIGHT YOUR STEERING TO CORRECT FOR A POTHOLE OR UNEVEN PAVEMENT.

BRAKE LIGHTS STARTED TO FAIL FIRST RIGHT SIDE REAR THEN ALL FAILED INCLUDING THE THIRD LIGHT.

THE VEHICLE HAS ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN TWICE NOW -- TODAY AND ABOUT A MONTH AGO. BOTH OCCURRENCES WERE EXACTLY THE SAME. THEY WERE WHILE PARKING IN MY OFFICE'S PARKING LOT AFTER DRIVING 20-30 MINUTES ON THE HIGHWAY. AS SOON AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE IT WAS IF I WAS PRESSING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT I WAS NOT. WHEN I STOPPED AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK THE RPM SHOT ALL THE WAY UP AND ENGINE WAS REVVING AS IF I HAD MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS DID NOT STOP UNTIL I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I THEN RESTART THE CAR AND IT IS NOT HAPPENING. THEN, WITH THE CAR STILL IN PARK, I GENTLY TAP ON THE GAS AND IT STARTS AGAIN. THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE PHYSICALLY STUCK. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER I START THE CAR AND TRY TAPPING ON THE GAS AND CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. I SEE THESE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO OWN UP AND ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY.
Electronic stability control (ESC), Feb 25, 2016
WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN NORMAL NON SLICK ROAD CONDITIONS, MY VEHICLES ESC LIGHT BEGAN TO BLINK. UNEXPECTEDLY, AND WITHOUT MY FOOT DEPRESSING THE BRAKES, MY VEHICLE DECELERATED FROM 55MPH TO 20MPH. THE FRONT LEFT TIRE CEASED TO ROTATE AND TORQUE WAS LOST TO THE ENGINE. THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND I IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE ESC SYSTEM AND DROVE HOME. THAT EVENING I RECEIVED THE NOTICE RECALL FOR EXACTLY THE ISSUE I HAD ENCOUNTERED. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TWO DAYS LATER TO SANSONE HYUNDAI WHERE THEY AGREED AFTER READING THE CAR'S COMPUTER THAT THE ESC ISSUE HAD INDEED OCCURRED. THE TECHNICIAN THEN EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THEY "RESET THE COMPUTER AND THIS PROBABLY SHOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN". HE WENT ON TO EXPLAIN THERE IS NO CURRENT SOLUTION, AND I HAVE TO BE PATIENT. I APPRECIATE THE FACT A SOLUTION HAS NOT YET BEEN FOUND BUT, I AM NOW FEARFUL TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I WAS UNBELIEVABLE LUCKY THAT THERE WERE NO DRIVER'S BEHIND ME AND THAT I WAS NEAR THE SHOULDER WHEN THE SYSTEM FAILED. IF THOSE LUCKY CONDITIONS HAD NOT BEEN PRESENT I COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I FEEL I SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROVIDED WITH A LOANER VEHICLE IN THE MEANTIME. I PURCHASED MY HYUNDAI BECAUSE I FELT THEY WERE SAFE, RELIABLE CARS WITH GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. MY CAR ACTUALLY EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE THAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL WHICH ITSELF STATES THAT, "INAPPROPRIATE BRAKE APPLICATION TO ONE OR MORE WHEELS AND/OR REDUCED ENGINE TORQUE CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH". KNOWING THIS, HYUNDAI HAS SENT ME ON WAY IN A VEHICLE WHICH CAN "INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH". I NOW HAVE TO WAIT AND BE GENUINELY SCARED OF THE VEHICLE WHICH I RELY ON. I HAVE PATIENCE TO WAIT FOR A SOLUTION, BUT I NEED A SOLUTION FROM HYUNDAI NOW. NOT WHEN SOMEONE IS ABLE TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE IN THE VEHICLE.

MY CAR ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ME PRESSING ON THE GAS RANDOMLY. SOME DAYS IT DRIVES NORMALLY AND OTHER DAYS I CAN FEEL THE CAR ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. IT WAS SO BAD 2 DAYS AGO THAT WHEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY IT WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT A RED LIGHT. I HAD BY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR WAS REVVING TO 5000 RPMS. I TOOK IT TO HYUNDAI WHO COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM BUT CHARGED ME $250 TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY.
Electrical system, Jan 22, 2016
2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA RANDOMLY WILL NOT START. WE REPLACED THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH AND ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN. DOES NOT SEEM TO BE AFFECTED BY WEATHER. IT HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE DEALER TWICE, BUT SINCE IT STARTS WHEN IT IS THERE, THEY SAY THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEREFORE CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I WOULD SAY IN THE YEAR AND A HALF THAT I HAVE HAD THE CAR IT HAS STRANDED ME 4 TIMES AND NOT ON THE FIRST TURN OVER ANOTHER 15. I USUALLY TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND TRY AGAIN. AFTER A COUPLE TRIES IT USUALLY STARTS.
Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Engine, Jan 19, 2016
CAR WON'T START. AT FIRST, WE THOUGHT IT'S THE BATTERY SO WE GOT OUR BATTERY JUMP STARTER. BUT IT WASN'T THE CASE. LIGHTS AND ELECTRICAL WORKS BUT THE CAR STARTER WON'T TURN OVER. TOWED IT TO THE DEALER. THE FOLLOWING DAY, WENT TO DEALER TO CHECK IT AND THE CAR STARTED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. DEALER'S MECHANICS STILL HASN'T SEEN IT YET THAT DAY. THERE MIGHT BE SOME LOOSE WIRING OR INHIBITOR SWITCH PROBLEM.
Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Jan 18, 2016
MY CAR HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH STARTING. THE PROBLEM ISN'T ALL THE TIME. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE TRIGGER IS, BUT ONE OR TWICE A WEEK, IT WON'T START. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY, BUT IT'S NOT. I CHANGED IT AND STILL GIVING ME ISSUES. I READ ONLINE AND FOUND THAT IT MIGHT BE THE RANGE SWITCH BECAUSE PEOPLE THAT HAS THIS ISSUE HAD THEIR RANGE SWITCH REPLACED AND NO MORE ISSUE. BEFORE THEY REPLACED THE RANGE SWITCH, THEY RECOMMENDED TO PUT IN "N" POSITION BEFORE START, WHICH I DID AND IT WORKED FOR A WHILE. NOW, I HAVE TO PUT THE E-BRAKES ON BEFORE IT CRANKS. THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, I HAVE ISSUES WITH LOCKING MY CAR. NEITHER THE ELECTRONIC PUSH BUTTON ON THE DOOR NOR REMOTE WORKS. I HAD TO MANUAL LOCK IT WITH THE KEY. BUT THIS ISSUE ISN'T ALL THE TIME EITHER. IT ONLY HAPPENED 6 TIMES SO FAR.
Other or unspecified, Jan 11, 2016
CAR WON'T START UNTIL I DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND HOLD AS I START THE VEHICLE.
Electrical system, Jan 10, 2016
CAR JUST WOULD NOT START 2 TIMES IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS WITH NO WARNINGS. I GOT IT JUMPED BOTH TIMES, AND IT WAS OK. I HAD THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTER CHECKED AND THEY WERE ALL OK. I WENT ON A FORUM ABOUT IT AND MANY PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE ON THE 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. MANY PEOPLE WERE SAYING IT WAS THE RANGE SWITCH THAT NEEDS REPLACED. PLEASE RECALL THIS. THANK YOU! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING OVER A BUMP, TAR, OR ROUGH PAVEMENT, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME UNSTABLE AND SWAY VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE AN ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. DUE TO THE FAULTY SUSPENSION SYSTEM, THE TIRES WOULD BECOME WORN AT AN ACCELERATED RATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 750.

I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR ON COMPACTED SNOW OR ICE. THE BACKEND FISHTAILS SO BAD I FEAR LOSING CONTROL. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO 30 MPH TO CONTROL THE CAR. I WILL NOT DRIVE ON ANY BIG HIGHWAYS BECAUSE I CAN'T GO OVER 30 MPH. LIKE OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE LIVED IN MN ALL MY LIFE AND HAD MANY CARS. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED WHAT I AM WITH THIS CAR. THEY BACK END HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN. IF YOU GO TO CARCOMPLAINTS.COM YOU WILL SEE WHAT OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING. THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. LOOK UP THE 2013'S TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON. I LOVE MY CAR BUT NOW FEEL I HAVE TO GET RID OF IT. IN GOOD CONSCIENCE I CAN'T SELL THIS TO A PRIVATE PARTY. I DON'T WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR DEATH. ONLY CHOICE IS THRU A DEALER AND LOSE MONEY. I SUPPOSE A HYUNDAI DEALER IS MY ONLY OPTION BECAUSE SOME OF THEM ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. ONE ADMITTED IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW. LET THE DEALER SHIP CAR TO A SOUTHERN STATE WHERE THERE IS NO SNOW AND ICE. PLEASE HELP. MAKE HYUNDAI FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH CONSUMER REPORT WHO RECOMMENDED THIS CAR. THEY MUST NOT HAVE TESTED IT ON WINTER ROADS. THANK YOU *TR
