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.

Latches/locks/linkages, Oct 12, 2016
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE TRUNK OPENED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,887.
Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Engine, Oct 12, 2016
VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND LACK OF DIGITAL ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ALERTED DRIVER TO ISSUE. UPON INSPECTION AT AUTHORIZED HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER, IT WAS NOTED THAT RODENTS HAD GNAWED THROUGH WIRING AND CONNECTORS LOCATED IN THE ENGINE BAY. PER SERVICE CENTER'S RECOMMENDATION, VEHICLE WAS CONSIDERED UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AND VEHICLE WAS LEFT AT SERVICE CENTER PENDING APPROPRIATE REPAIRS/REPLACEMENTS. IT WAS NOTED THAT THE WIRES THAT WERE CHEWED THROUGH WERE COATED WITH SOY-BASED MATERIALS INSTEAD OF PLASTIC WHICH HAD BEEN USED IN EARLIER MODELS. SERVICE CENTER CLAIMS TO SEE THIS ISSUE AT LEAST A FEW TIMES PER MONTH. RODENT DETERRENT TAPE IS BEING PURCHASED FROM HONDA (WHO ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGES THIS ISSUE AND IS CURRENT THE SUBJECT OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT). TAPE WILL BE WRAPPED AROUND WIRES FOLLOWING REPAIRS.
Steering, Other or unspecified, Oct 11, 2016
IF I HIT ANY BUMP IN THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE FISHTAILS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STEER INTO THE NEXT LANE. I DO NO KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO FISHTAIL. I BELIEVE THAT ONE DAY THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND PUT MYSELF AND OTHERS AT RISK OF HITTING EACH OTHER.
Electrical system, Air bags, Electronic stability control (ESC), Oct 11, 2016
I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE'S AIRBAG LIGHT IS TURNING ON AND OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET AND ON HIGHWAYS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TRIGGERS IT TO TURN OFF AND ON. IT ALSO TURNS ON AND OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN MOTION. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SECURITY ISSUE BECAUSE IF I AM INVOLVED IN A MAJOR CAR CRASH AND THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT ON THEN I WILL NOT BE SECURED.

SEPT. 2ND, 2016, MY 26-YR-OLD DAUGHTER (AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER) LEFT WORK, APPROACHED A "T" COUNTRY ROAD INTERSECTION AT MODERATE SPEED, ON A SOMEWHAT ROUGH ROAD, AND APPLIED BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN. NOTHING HAPPENED - THE CAR DID NOT SLOW. THE CAR DROVE ACROSS THE INTERSECTION INTO A FARMYARD. SHE PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, BUT IT DID NOT STOP THE CAR. IT SKIDDED, BUT SHE WAS ABLE TO STEER AROUND A WOOD PILE AND AVOID TREES. CAR STOPPED WHEN IT CRASHED INTO A DIRT MOUND. THIS WAS TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. BUMPER WAS RUINED, AND THERE IS DAMAGE IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT. NO FIRE OR INJURIES. NO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, WHO NEXT DAY DROVE CAR AROUND DEALERSHIP LOT AND FOUND NO BRAKE PROBLEM. CRASH DAMAGE MADE CAR NOT ROAD-WORTHY TO TEST BRAKES AT HIGHER SPEED. CAR HAS ABOUT 42,200 MILES ON IT. BACK IN MID-SUMMER, THE DEALER HAD REPAIRED A PROBLEM THAT APPARENTLY WAS BRAKE STOPPER RECALL-RELATED (A LATE-AUGUST RECALL). WE REPORTED THE FAILURE AND CRASH TO HYUNDAI AMERICA.

MY SON 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WOULD NOT STOP CORRECTLY WHILE HE WAS DRIVING IT CAUSING IT TO TURN IN A SEMI CIRCLE AND ULTIMATELY CRASHING INTO A SHOULDER ON A FREEWAY TO STOP. AFTER WHICH THE WHEELS BROKE OFF ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF IT.
Air bags, Structure, Sep 9, 2016, crash
MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON APRIL 9TH 2016 IN HER 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. . BOTH VEHICLES WERE AT A DEAD STOP AT AN INTERSECTION BEFORE EITHER OF THEM STARTED MOVING. MY DAUGHTER WAS GOING STRAIGHT AND THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS TURNING, BOTH OF WHICH WERE GOING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH. MY DAUGHTERS CAR HIT THE FRONT FENDER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE CAUSING A BENT WHEEL AND A SMALL DENT TO THE FENDER. MY DAUGHTERS HYUNDAI, TOTALED. EVERY AIRBAG IN THE HYUNDAI DEPLOYED, INCLUDING THE BACK SEAT WHICH SEEMED STRANGE SINCE IT WAS A FRONTAL CRASH. THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T GO IN TO ANY OTHER GEAR IT WAS STUCK IN DRIVE. THE HOOD WAS SMASHED UP TO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR WAS OVER $12,000 THERE HAS TO BE SOME FAULTY PART(S) OR EQUIPMENT ON THE CAR TO CAUSE SUCH DAMAGE AT SUCH LOW SPEEDS. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN A CRASH IN A HYUNDAI. I WROTE TO HYUNDAI ABOUT SAFETY CONCERNS OF THEIR HYUNDAI ELANTRAS, THEIR RESPONSE WAS UNACCEPTABLE: "WE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE DESIGN OF THE 2013 ELANTRA AND WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY DISAPPOINTMENT THIS HAS CAUSED YOU. THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN FORWARDED TO ALL APPROPRIATE PARTIES WITHIN HYUNDAI FOR REVIEW, INCLUDING HYUNDAI MANAGEMENT." REALLY HYUNDAI! PEOPLE CAN BE SEVERELY INJURED OR DIE IN THESE VEHICLES WHICH I FEEL HYUNDAI NEEDS TO BE A LITTLE MORE CONCERNED.
Suspension, Sep 7, 2016
THE VEHICLE FISHTALES AND MISHANDLES ON THE HIGHWAY ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS 40-60. I HAVE TO GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHT TO HAVE SAFE CONTROL. AT TIMES IT IS A WHITEKNUCKLING EXPERIENCE. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 7 WEEKS AGO. THE DEALER HAS REASSURED ME ON 3 VISITS TO SERVICE THAT IT IS SAFE. HOWEVER THERE IS SOMETHING DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT.

THE ESC INDICATOR/TRACTION CONTROL ACTIVATED WHILE I WAS DRIVING 50 MPH. I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, THE CAR HEADED STRAIGHT FOR A CEMENT GUARDRAIL ON A BRIDGE. THE CAR DECELERATED, I WAS UNABLE TO STEER AND THE TIRES SCREECHED ON THE GROUND. I WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE ESC OFF BUTTON AND RECOVER CONTROL OF THE CAR, AVOIDING THE CRASH. I KNEW ABOUT THE OFF BUTTON ONLY BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE JUNE AND HYUNDAI WAS UNABLE TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT DID NOT DUPLICATE FOR THEM. PREVIOUSLY WE WERE DRIVING AT A VERY SLOW RATE OF SPEED, THIS TIME IT ALMOST KILLED MY DAUGHTER AND ME! MY CAR HAS BEEN WITH HYUNDAI AUTO-NATION, COLUMBUS, GA SINCE AUGUST 24, 2016 I CALLED ON AUGUST 25 BUT THE CAR VIN # WAS NOT ASKED OF ME, THE COMPLAINT TICKET NUMBER IS 1010763 THE FIRST TIME THE ESC ACTIVATED MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING. THE ESC TURNED ON, WHILE HE WAS ACCELERATING ONTO AN ON-RAMP BACK IN JUNE 2016. WE TURNED THE CAR OFF, RESEARCHED IT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, FOUND THE "OFF" BUTTON AND BROUGHT TO HYUNDAI THE NEXT DAY AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM! A WEEK LATER THE ESC TURNED ON IN A PARKING LOT WHILE I WAS DRIVING, HIT THE ESC OFF BUTTON AND THE CAR BEHAVED UNTIL AUG 24TH. I CALLED HYUNDAI TO REPORT, BUT SINCE IT DIDN'T OCCUR AGAIN, THEY SAID DO NOT BRING IT IN. ON AUGUST 24TH, THE ESC CAME ON WHILE I WAS IN A SCHOOL ZONE, I HIT THE OFF BUTTON, I TOOK THE OFF BUTTON OFF, TO SEE IF IT WOULD ACTIVATE AGAIN SO I COULD BRING IT INTO HYUNDAI (THEY SAID IT HAD TO BE MALFUNCTIONING AT THE TIME OF VISIT TO BE FIXED) IT MALFUNCTIONED! ALMOST KILLING MY MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER! IF I HADN'T KNOWN ABOUT THE ESC OFF BUTTON, I WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE CRASHED!

Power train, Aug 16, 2016
THE GEAR SHIFT IN MY AUTOMATIC DRIVE 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WILL NOT SHIFT BACK INTO PARK OCCASSIONALY. WITH SOME TRYING IT HAS GONE BACK INTO PARK OR USING THE SHIFT LOCK. I ASSUME THAT THIS COULD CAUSE SOME POTENTIAL DANGER HAD I NOT BEEN ON A FLAT SERVICE OR IN AN AREA WHERE I COULD TRY TO GET IT TO GO BACK IN TO PARK. LUCKILY I WAS STATIONARY ON A LEVEL LOT DURING THE 5 TIMES THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND MY CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 55K MILES.

Other or unspecified, Aug 7, 2016
REPEATEDLY WHITE CLOUD SMOKE FROM TAIL PIPE WHEN SUDDENLY ACCELERATING FROM 20 TO 40 MILES/HR. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW. SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN ENCOUNTERED BY OTHER SAME MODEL CAR OWNERS AS I FOUND ON INTERNET. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW THE CAUSE SOME THEORIES - OIL OR COOLANT BURNING FROM WORN-OUT VALVE RINGS, OR WATER CONDENSATION POSSIBLY FROM MUFFLER LEAKING. SEEMS OTHER HYUNDAI MODELS, SUCH AS ACCENT, HAVE ALSO SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR HAS DONE ONLY 30K MILES. OTHERS HAD SAME PROBLEM AT AS LOW AS 14K MILES.
Engine, Aug 4, 2016
ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, MY CAR WOULD STALL OUT DURING LEFT TURNS ( MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS) AND WHILE ACCELERATING ON AN ENTRANCE RAMP. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS PRIOR TO STALLING. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE/ DIAGNOSTICS. I WAS TOLD IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE ELANTRA TO SUCK UP TO 1QT OF OIL PER 1000 MILES! DUE TO THE MECHANICS OF THE CAR, IT COULD STALL OUT WHILE TURNING IF LOW ON OIL. I WAS DUE FOR MY REGULAR OIL CHANGE AND IT WAS COMPLETED DURING THIS SERVICE AT WHICH TIME THEY STATED I WAS 2 QTS LOW !! IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I COME IN EVERY 2000 MILES TO HAVE IT CHECKED. MY CONCERN IS -WITHOUT WARNING LIGHTS, DO I HAVE TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION TO LET ME KNOW MY OIL IS LOW ????
Power train, Aug 2, 2016
THE GEAR SHIFT IN AN AUTOMATIC DRIVE ELANTRA CAR WILL NOT SHIFT BACK INTO PARK OCCASSIONALY. WITH SOME TRYING IT HAS GONE BACK INTO PARK. THIS COULD BE POTENTIALLY DANGERS TO SOMEONE WHO STOPS ON A HILL AND CANNOT MANUEVER THE GEAR SHIFT BACK INTO PARK. I WAS STATIONARY ON A LEVEL LOT BOTH TIMES IT HAPPENED TO ME AND BOTH TIMES WERE IN A PARKING LOT. THIS OCCURRED 2 IN THE LAST 4 DAYS AND THE CAR HAS A LITTLE LESS THAN 75,000 MILES.

Service brakes, Jul 21, 2016
MY CAR HAS 7000 MILES AND THE BRAKES GRIND EXCESSIVELY AND WHEN BRAKING AT SPEEDS 40 MPH OR HIGHER, THE CAR SHAKES AND VIBRATES SO HARD I AM AFRAID THAT THE BRAKES WILL FAIL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MORE THAN A YEAR. LAST YEAR, I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER (FAIRFAX HYUNDAI IN FAIRFAX, VIRGINIA) FOR THIS PROBLEM AND ALL THEY SAID WAS THAT THIS WAS DUE TO RUST BUILDUP EVEN THOUGH MY CAR JUST HAD LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON IT AND I JUST NEEDED TO BRAKE HARD TO GET RID OF THE RUST. THIS HAS NOT HELPED AND I BELIEVE THAT THE BRAKES PADS AND ROTORS ARE DEFECTIVE AND NEED TO BE REPLACED.
