Service brakes, hydraulic, antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip, control unit/modulePark outsideSep 22, 2023
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2011-2015 Elantra, Genesis Coupe, Sonata Hybrid, 2012-2015 Accent, Azera, Veloster, 2013-2015 Elantra Coupe, Santa Fe, 2014-2015 Equus, 2010-2012 Veracruz, 2010-2013 Tucson, 2015 Tucson Fuel Cell, and 2013 Santa Fe Sport vehicles. The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module may leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrical short, which can result in an engine compartment fire while parked or driving.
An engine compartment fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury.
Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete. Dealers will replace the ABS fuse, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 10, 2024 through October 11, 2024. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 251.

Service brakes, hydraulic, pedals and linkagesNov 30, 2017
Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2013-2014 Elantra sedan, coupe and GT vehicles. The brake pedal stopper pad can deteriorate allowing the brake light switch plunger to remain extended when the brake pedal is released. This will allow the brake lights to remain illuminated continuously. It can also allow the shift lever to be moved without depressing the brake pedal, or activate the engine management brake pedal override feature.
If the brake light switch plunger does not retract as it should when the brake pedal is not being pressed, the brake lights may stay illuminated preventing accurate communication to following vehicles that the vehicle is slowing or stopping. Additionally, if the brake switch plunger is not retracted, then the transmission can be shifted out of PARK without depressing the brake pedal. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake pedal stopper pad, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin February 8, 2018. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 170. This campaign expands recall 16V574.

Exterior lighting, brake lights, switchAug 2, 2016
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model 2013 Elantra vehicles manufactured December 1, 2012, to April 30, 2013. The brake pedal stopper pad can deteriorate allowing the brake light switch plunger to remain extended when the brake pedal is released.
If the brake light switch plunger does not retract as it should when the brake pedal is not being pressed, the brake lights may stay illuminated preventing accurate communication to following vehicles that the vehicle is slowing or stopping. Additionally, if the brake switch plunger is not retracted, then the transmission can be shifted out of PARK without depressing the brake pedal. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake pedal stopper pad with an improved part, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on September 30, 2016. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 146.

TIMING CHAIN IS DAMAGED AND CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND HAVE KEPT UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE
Electrical system, Air bags, Vehicle speed control, Oct 9, 2018
I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED TO TAKATA RECALL. BUT THE ELECTRONICS CONTROLLING THE AIR BAG AND CRUISE CONTROL ARE NOT FUNCTIONING! THE POOR DESIGN OF THE STEERING COVERS SQUEEZE THE WIRES THAT ARE BENT INTO THE CONNECTOR CAUSING THESE CIRCUITS NOT TO FUNCTION. AT THIS POINT, THE RED LIGHT FOR THE AIR-BAG IS ON ALL THE TIME WHICH MEANS THE IT WILL NOT DEPLOY CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE. THIS STEERING COVER DESIGN IS COMMON ON ALL ELANTRA MODELS SO WE SUSPECT THE PROBLEM COULD IMPACT SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF CARS. I MANAGED TO TEST THE PROBLEM, BUT PULLING THE COVER OFF AND TESTING THE WIRES. WHEN THE COVER IS PULL AWAY FROM THE BODY OF THE STEERING, THE CIRCUIT FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS! HYUNDAI SHOULD RE-LOCATE THE PLUG WHERE THESE WIRES ARE CONNECTED FURTHER LOWER TO AVOID THESE WIRES GETTING SQUEEZED. AND FOR THE CURRENT MODELS, A SHORTER CONNECTOR COULD REMEDY THIS PROBLEM BY PREVENTING THE WIRES FROM GETTING SQUEEZED.

2013 ELANTRA GT, 5 YEARS OLD AT 109K MILES. WE BOUGHT IT USED 3 MONTHS AGO. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON A WEEK AGO. THE PROBLEM IS THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE ON THIS TYPE AND YEAR VEHICLE. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THIS WHICH EXTENDS THE CLOCK SPRING WARRANTY TO 15K MILES AND UNLIMITED MILEAGE BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT OUR CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY BASED ON THE VIN. THE DEALER TOLD US TO CALL HYUNDAI CORPORATE AT 800-633-5151 AND ASK FOR "GOOD WILL" WARRANTY COVERAGE WHICH I DID AND I HAVE A CASE OPEN # 11648781. THE REPRESENTATIVE ON THE PHONE WAS EVASIVE AND NOT WILLING TO DO MUCH. THE SAME WITH THE DEALER. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY NHTSA ID NUMBER IS 10115229, THE MANUFACTURER SERVICE BULLETIN # IS 5NP-E9R9G-08 (ATTACHED HERE). THE ISSUE COVERS 2011-2014 ELANTRA AND 2011-2013 SONATA MODELS. THE CLOCK SPRING PART # IS EXACTLY THE SAME BETWEEN THESE MODELS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY SOME CARS ARE COVERED AND SOME NOT. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM TO TRIGGER EXTENDED WARRANTY, ALL CARS IN THE AFFECTED YEARS MUST BE COVERED. THE CLOCK SPRING SHOULD LAST HE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, THUS THE 15 YEARS EXTENDED WARRANTY. HYUNDAI SHOULD DO GOOD BY ITS CUSTOMERS AND FIX ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. EXTENDED WARRANTY IS MUCH CHEAPER THAN A FULL BLOWN RECALL. ONE LAST THING, THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IS DISABLES THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM. THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS ARE ALSO AFFECTED, THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON A MIXED UP, THE CANCEL BECAME SET FOR EXAMPLE WHICH COULD BE QUITE DANGEROUS. OTHER BUTTONS DON'T WORK AT ALL OR ALL THE TIME. THIS IS MY SECOND HYUNDAI VEHICLE AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE THE LAST. VERY FRUSTRATING.

STEERING WHEEL HAS EXCESSIVE PLAY AND MAKES NOISE WHEN TURNING TO RIGHT, FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE. THIS OCCURS EVEN WHEN STATIONARY. FEELS VERY UNSAFE AND WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE CAR. PROBLEM SUDDENLY STARTED AFTER ONLY 31770 MILES. IN OVER 40 YEARS OF DRIVING AND OWNING 15 VEHICLES NEVER HAVE EXPERIENCED SUCH A STEERING PROBLEM. TOOK IT INTO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED A FLEXIBLE COUPLING , PART ONLY COST $1.26 BUT LABOR COST WAS $270.00. THIS IS A SAFETY RELATED PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY CAR COMPANY EITHER UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY OR SAFETY RECALL. LOOKS LIKE A NEW BETTER DESIGNED COUPLING HAS REPLACED THE ORIGINAL. HYUNDAI SHOULD NOTIFY OWNERS BEFORE THE PROBLEM OCCURS .
Steering, Sep 25, 2018
STEERING WHEEL HAS A CLUNKING NOISE. IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS GOING TO COME LOOSE. IT SHOWS THAT THERE IS A SMALL GEAR INSIDE THE STEERING MOTOR, WHICH BREAKS APART LITTLE BY LITTLE, UNTIL YOU CANNOT LONGER MANEUVER THE CAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. TALK ABOUT AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

Air bags, Sep 11, 2018
THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AT FIRST INTERMITTENTLY BUT LATER CONTINUAL. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED ME IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE CLOCK SPRING. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY POLICY AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND THE REPAIR. THE CAR IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE AT THIS POINT THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER A PLATINUM PROTECTION PLAN. IM VERY DISAPPOINTED.

VEHICLE KEEPS SHUTTING OFF/ STALLING. FIRST DEALER CLAIMED IT WAS A YAW RATE SENSOR. SENSOR WAS CHANGED AND DID NOT SOLVE ISSUE. IT WAS ALSO EXPERIENCING FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS, GAS WOULD LEAK WHEN FILLING AND GAS WOULD NOT CALCULATE MILEAGE OR UPDATE. SECOND DEALER DID NOT SEE A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM. NOW BELIEVES ITS A ECM PROBLEM. THEY DID NOT WANT TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY.

"TAKATA RECALL" 2013 ELANTRA WILL DISPERSE A HUGE CLOUD OF SMOKE WHEN ACCELERATING QUICKLY MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR DRIVERS BEHIND ME TO SEE. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY BUT MOST OFTEN WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY MAKING IT INCREDIBLY UNSAFE FOR PEOPLE BEHIND ME. THERE IS SO MUCH SMOKE IT TAKES ABOUT 30 SECONDS TO A MINUTE TO FOR ME TO SEE THE CARS BEHIND ME. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS AND VIDEOS OF IT HAPPENING. DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE OF AN OVERFLOW OF OIL BECAUSE I WAS GETTING OIL CHANGES OUTSIDE THE DEALER. THE DEAL CHANGED MY OIL IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. DIFFERENT DEALERS HAVE DIFFERENT EXCUSES OF WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE DRIVERS BEHIND THESE VEHICLES AND I AM SURE NOT GOOD FOR THE CAR.

AS I AM DRIVING THE CAR ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS ETC. THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON AND STARTS FLASHING AND AT THE SAME TIME THE RADIO, NAVIGATION SYSTEM. BLUETOOTH. BLUE LINK MONITORING SYSTEM, AS WELL AS SENSORS/MONITORING EQUIPMENT SHUTTING DOWN AND RESETTING AND OTHER SYSTEMS SHUT DOWN. I ALSO CAN NOT USE MY KEY FOB TO LOCK MY DOORS UNTIL THE CAR HAS RESET. USUALLY THE CAR WILL RESET BETWEEN FIVE MINTUES TO AN HOUR. CONCERN THAT THE ISSUE WILL INTENSIFY WITH THE SUDDEN SHUT DOWN OF THE ENGINE RESULTING IN A POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST 9 MONTHS, WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS IN CORRECTING THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE CANNOT BE REPLICATED WHEN THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY HYUNDAI USA THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE DEALER CANNOT REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE. OTHER PERSONS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR ISSUES WITH NO SOLUTION AND RECEIVING THE SAME GUIDANCE FROM HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS.ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED. I HAVE HAD THE CAR INTO THE DEALER @ 6 TIMES FOR ASSESSMENT SINCE OCTOBER 15, 2017 THROUGH PRESENT. THE ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED AT A VARIETY OF SPEEDS, 30MPH UP TO 65-70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY.

WHILE DRIVING (ROUGHLY 55-60 MPH) ON HWY 50 TO TAHOE THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF ON MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. THERE WAS A LOUD SHOTGUN SOUND WHICH WAS FOLLOWED BY THE GLASS OF THE SUNROOF FALLING BETWEEN THE CLOTH COVER INTO THE CAR ON US. THERE WAS NO ROCKS OR GIANT PINECONES NEAR BY THAT COULD HAVE STRUCK THE CAR OR CAUSED THE DAMAGE.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. I DRIVE EIGHT MILES WITH IT ON. IT DIDN'T MAKE ANY SOUND OR ANYTHING THAT CONCERNED ME, ASIDE FROM THE LIGHT. PARKED IT AT HOME AND WENT TO GET A CODE READER. TRIED TO START IT AND IT WOULDN'T START. HAD TO FLAT BED IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID THE ENGINE NEEDED REPLACED. I ONLY HAVE 114K MILES. KEPT UP ON MAINTENANCE. HAD IT IN A MONTH PRIOR FOR BRAKES AND IT WAS LOOKED INNER WITH NO PROBLEMS. HYUNDAI WILL DO NOTHING BECAUSE IT IS OVER WARRANTY. PRIOR TO ALL OF THIS I HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT WITHIN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF OWNING IT. HAVE HAD THE POWER STEERING RACK REPLACED , MASTER CYLINDER, SLAVE CYLINDER TWICE, ALONG WITH MULTIPLE OTHER ISSUES INCLUDING SPORADICALLY PULLING HARD TO THE LEFT FOR NO APPARENT REASON, BEFORE IT WAS EVEN AT 16K.
