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.

BRAKE PEDAL STOP PAD BROKE, PIECES FOUND ON THE FLOOR BOARD. TRACTION ON THE 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WAS TURNED ON AND MADE THE CAR DIFFICULT TO BRAKE AND STOP. BRAKE LIGHTS STAYED ON COMPLETELY ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. PARTS ARE NOT SOLD IN PART STORE FOR REPLACING.

HYNDAI DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED ON MULTIPLE OCCASION'S TO PERFORM THE RECALL AT A TIME THAT IS AT ALL POSSIBLE. I GAVE THEM MANY OPPERTUNITIES TO FIX THEIR MISTAKE AT TIMES I CAN BRING THE CAR TO THEM AND GHEY ARE REFUSING. THEY HAVE EVEN REUSED EVERYDAY UNTIL SEPT 30. AND ANY WEEKEND AFTER THAT OR AFTER 7 PM.

I PURCHASED A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT BRAND NEW. ADMITTEDLY I PUT A LOT OF MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND IT HAD 121000 MILES. HOWEVER, I ALWAYS KEPT UP ON MY MAINTENANCE AND ALWAYS USED SYNTHETIC OIL SINCE THE FIRST OIL CHANGE. AFTER GETTING AN OIL CHANGE I WAS ABOUT 3 MILES FROM THE FACILITY AND MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST RPM AND THE SPEED DECREASED. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF. NO LIGHTS CAME ON, NOT ENGINE OR OIL. I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON AND SUDDENLY THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A RATTLING NOISE. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY LOCAL GARAGE. THAT MECHANIC SAID HE THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN. I THEN HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DICKSON CITY HYUNDAI. THERE, THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. I BEGAN SPEAKING WITH A REPRESENTATIVE FROM HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE. I ENDED UP HAVING TO PAY HALF OF THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT AND LABOR COSTS. MY PORTION WAS $3250. THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS THAT A VEHICLE ALWAYS MAINTAINED WOULD HAVE THE ENGINE GONE A MONTH BEFORE THE FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF PURCHASING IT. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HYUNDAI IN MY LIFE.

HATCH DOOR RECALL. ON HOT DAYS THE REAR SPOILER ON THE HATCH DOOR SWELLS AND AS A RESULT IT WILL STICK AND JAM PREVENTING THE REAR HATCH FROM OPENING. THE JAMMING CAUSED THE BODY TO DENT AND CHIP THE PAINT, THIS COULD RESULT IN FUTURE PRE-MATURE RUSTING OF THE BODY.

COSTS FOR REPAIR/RENTAL/TOW APPROACHED 15000, SO RENTAL WAS TURNED IN AND ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION WHILE ARBITRATING COMPLAINT. ITS ONLY VEHICLE SINGLE PARENT AND WARRANTY COVERS REPAIR/TOW/RENTAL, BUT HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND DEALER HAVE YET TO PROVIDE ANY REMEDY (STILL AS OF 7-17-19) PER CFR RULE 703 OR MAGNUSSON-MOSS ACT CLAIM WITH BBB AUTOLINE WAS FILED CERTIFIED MAIL ON 5-15-19.

2014 ELANTRA DRIVING THE CAR IN TOWN AT SLOW SPEEDS, USUALLY AROUND 15-25 MILES AN HOUR, WITH RPMS AT ABOUT 1250. FIRST NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH EXTREMELY JERKY DRIVING, BUT ADDED GAS AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A ONE-TIME THING. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I SET AN APPOINTMENT TO THE MURDOCK HYUNDAI OF MURRAY UTAH TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE THAT WAS PUTTING MY FAMILY AND MY SECURITY IN RISK. ON JUNE 18TH AROUND 6 PM, THE DID A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK IN THE DEALERSHIP AND THEN, THEY RECOMMENDED ME TO CLEAN MY GAS INJECTORS, TO DO A TUNE-UP, TO DO AN ALIGNMENT AND TO ADD NEW FOUR TIRES CHANGE SINCE THEY WERE TOTALLY DAMAGED., SOME KIND OF HYUNDAI SOLVENT CLEANERS FOR THE GAS ENGINE. ALL OF THE SERVICES HAD A TOTAL OF $1043 DOLLARS. I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL IT NEEDED BUT NOT IT WAS NOT. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE CAR STARTED TO HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS BEFORE, LOSING POWER AGAIN, ENGINE SLOWING DOWN AND BAD GAS MILEAGE... I SET UP ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP.

WHENEVER I USE THE AIR CONDITIONER OR VENTILATION THERE'S AN OVERWHELMING SMEL OF MOLD. THIS OCCURS IN STATIONARY AND WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2017. THE DEALER PASSED IT FOR STATE INSPECTION,AFTER. A DAY NOTICED A RUMBLE IN FRONT END. BROUGHT TO DEALER, WAS TOLD BRAKE ROTORS WERE WARPED. THEY REPLACED ROTORS. PROBLEM SOLVED. TWO YEARS LATER WENT FOR STATE INSPECTION AND ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS ARE WORN OUT. THIS WOULD INDICATE AN OVER HEATING OF BRAKES. HOT BREAKS WILL CAUSE LOSS OF BRAKES OR TAKE LONGER TO STOP. THIS WOULD ALSO EXPLAIN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT BRAKES,AND WHY IT CAN'T BE DUPLICATED WHEN TESTED BY MECHANICS THEY DON'T DRIVE IT LONG ENOUGH.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA IT STARTED TO SLOW DOWN, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ONE ALONG WITH THE A FLASHING OIL LIGHT. I FOUND IT FUNNY BECAUSE I HAD JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGED 1 WEEK BEFORE. THE NEXT THING I KNEW THE CAR JUST STOPPED MID DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY.. I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY CHECKED EVERYTHING OUT AND I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. I DON'T SEE HOW WHEN I KEEP MY MATIENCE UP ON MY CAR. BUT AS I LOOK UP THINGS ON THE INTERNET I SEE THE 2014 ELANTRA IS GIVING ALOT OF PEOPLE PROBLEMS WHEN IT COMES TO THE ENGINE. AND I AM NOT SURE WHY HYUNDAI HAS NOT DONE A RECALL ON THE ENGINES HERE IN THE US BUT HAVE DONE SO IN CANDA AND OVERSEAS. I AM A MEDICAL RETIRED SERVICE MEMBER AND ON A FIXED INCOME. SO PAYING 1000S OF DOLLARS FOR A NEW ENGINE IS NOT IN MY BUDGET. NOR BUYING A NEW CAR ... HYUNDAI HAS BEEN GREAT WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE THUS FAR BUT NOW I AM FRUSTRATED AND SICK TO MY STOMACH WITH THE WAY I HAVE BEEN TREATED. THANK YOU FOR NOTHING...

THE MOTOR STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE VERY FAINT AT FIRST THEN OVER TIME IT GOT LOUDER THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED THE CAR. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT NEEDED A TEAR DOWN TO DETERMINE IF THE CAR NEEDED A NEW ENGINE THEY DID THAT, THEN WE WERE TOLD SINCE WE WERE LOYAL CUSTOMERS HAD PURCHASED 3 CARS FROM MASSEY AND IT HAD 104,000 MILES 4 THOUSAND OVER WARRANTY THAT HYUNDAI WOULD PROBABLY COVER PART OR ALL OF THE COST! WE WERE TOLD THAT IF HYUNDAI DIDN'T COVER THE COST THAT IT WOULD COST US A COUPLE OF THOUSAND DOLLARS!...SO WE TOLD THEM TO FIX THE CAR HYUNDAI WAS GOING TO COVER SOME OF THE COST DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH THOUGH! WE WERE NEVER TOLD...AND WE'VE NEVER BEEN TOLD HOW MUCH HYUNDAI COVERED. THE CAR NEEDED A FEW MINOR REPAIRS LIKE THE SERPENTINE BELT WHICH WE NEEDED TO PAY FOR BUT WE ENDED UP PAYING $2300.00 DOLLARS WE HAVE TALKED TO OTHER HYUNDAI OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR ENGINES JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS FOR THE ENGINE?

WHEN WE DRIVE THE CAR THE STEERING WHEEL WILL STICK OR SEEM TO CATCH ON SOMETHING WHICH MAKES IT VERY HARD TO DRIVE STRAIGHT AND NOT ALL OVER THE RD LIKE WERE DRUNK. IT DOESN'T DO IT IF YOU ARE TURNING. ONLY WHEN YOU DRIVE STRAIGHT. IT HAS DEFINITELY ALMOST CAUSED SOME ACCIDENTS, AND ALSO TICKETS TOO! I WOULD THINK THAT THE STEERING WOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE AND I MOST DEFINITELY THINK HYUNDAI WOULD WANT TO MAKE THEIR CARE OWNERS THEIR PRIORITY SINCE WE ARE DRIVING THEIR NAME AND REPUTATION. I MOST DEFINITELY WANT TO BELIEVE THAT MY LIFE AND SAFETY OF MYSELF BUT ALSO MY KIDS AND HUSBAND AS WELL! THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS.

WHEN I START MY CAR ON A DAILY BASIS IT WORKS PERFECTLY FINE. SUDDENLY ILL GO OUT TO START MY CAR AND ITS NOT STARTING AFTER REPLACING THE CAMSHAFT SENSORS, BATTERY, STARTER AND MORE. IVE GOT MY CAR PUT ON THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS AT THE ACTUAL DEALERSHIP AND THERE IS NOTHING SHOWN. IVE HAD MY CAR TOWED TWO TIMES TO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND IVE MANAGED TO FIND THE ISSUE WHICH AFTER REASEARCHING AS WELL THAT THE "RANGE SWITCH" COULD BE THE PROBLEM OR "SHIFT INTERLOCK". SOMETIMES IT WILL START AND SOMETIMES IT WONT START AT TIMES UNTIL I HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED THESE LAST COUPLE OF TIMES. THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE WITH MY EVERYDAY LIFE GETTING BACK AND FORTH TO WORK AND WITH A CHILD! ITS STRESSFUL! IT DOESN'T MATTER IF ITS HOT OR COLD OUTSIDE THE CAR WILL NOT START CERTAIN TIMES OF THE YEAR.

I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA THAT NOW HAS 72,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER EXPERIENCING RECENT ISSUES WITHIN THE ENGINE OF THIS VEHICLE, I TOOK IT TO DAVE HALLMAN HYUNDAI IN ERIE, PA WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT. IT WAS ALSO DECIDED THAT I WOULD PAY THE COSTS OF THE LABOR, WHICH TOTALS $2,345. DURING THIS EXPERIENCE I HAVE FOUND THAT HYUNDAI SONATAS, SANTE FES, AND ELANTRAS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. AS A MATTER OF FACT, WHEN I INITIALLY TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, EMPLOYEES WERE ALSO WORKING ON A SANTA FE THAT HAD EXPERIENCED ENGINE FAILURE, LEADING ME TO QUESTION THE QUALITY OF THESE VEHICLES WHEN THE ISSUE IS SO PROMINENT. IN THE PAST 4 YEARS I HAVE BOUGHT TWO VEHICLES FROM HYUNDAI, BUT FOR REASONS BEYOND MY CONTROL, HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FIRST AND NOW POTENTIALLY THE SECOND. MOREOVER, I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR FOUR WEEKS NOW. I WAS INFORMED A CASE MANAGER COULD ASSIST ME, BUT OF THE MULTIPLE HYUNDAI REPRESENTATIVES, NONE WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE EVEN A PHONE NUMBER. EIGHT DAYS AFTER REPRESENTATIVES TOLD ME THE CASE HAD BEEN SUBMITTED, THE CASE MANAGER CONTACTED ME ONLY TO TELL ME HE COULD OFFER NO ASSISTANCE. I WAS NOT INFORMED MY CASE WOULD BE DEEMED VOID IN TWO DAYS, BUT JUST HAPPENED TO CALL AND CHECK. I UNDERSTAND HYUNDAI MAINTAINS POLICIES AROUND THE SERVICE THAT CAN AND CANNOT BE PROVIDED TO SECOND OWNERS. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT AS A SECOND OWNER, MY VEHICLE'S WARRANTY WOULD HAVE EXPIRED 12,000 MILES AGO. HOWEVER, I AM ASKING THAT HYUNDAI CORRECT ITS MISTAKE AND PAY FULL PRICE FOR SELLING A DEFECTED PRODUCT THAT INHIBITED THE SAFETY, RELIABILITY, AND QUALITY OF MY VEHICLE. THERE IS NO REASON MY CAR SHOULD HAVE COMPLETELY FAILED THIS EARLY ON. I DO NOT FEEL HYUNDAI'S CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING TO CORRECT SUCH A PROMINENT MISTAKE.

THIS IS NOW THE THIRD TIME THAT MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY CUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING AND IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS THERE IS ALWAYS A BURNING SMELL COMING THROUGH THE VENTS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AT ALL. HYUNDAI DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS AT ALL.

MY WIFE WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO WORK, AND SHE REAR-ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER. WE WENT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP NEARBY AND THEY TESTED IT FOR TWO DAYS AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. ON ONE OF THEIR TESTS THE ENGINE DIED AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED BUT THEY HAD NOT YET HOOKED UP THE DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT SO THEY NEVER CAPTURED THE SOURCE OF THAT FAILURE. ALL OTHER TIMES THE BREAKS AND THE ENGINE WORKED FINE. THE RESULT WAS THAT THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.

THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN YOU TRY TO TURN INTO A CURVE YOU HAVE TO BE VERY FORCEFUL WITH TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH LEADS TO EITHER ENDING UP IN THE OTHER LANE OR IN THE DITCH. THIS IS A SAFETY RISK AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THIS IS NOT JUST HAPPENING WITH MY CAR, ITS HAPPENING WITH SEVERAL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM FURTHER BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE ENGINE WOULD RANDOMLY SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND 1 TIME WHILE STOPPING. WHEN SITTING IN PARK, THE OIL LIGHT STATS TO FLASH. AFTER TAKING IT INTO A DEALER, THEY INFORMED ME THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS ONLY 112,000 MILES ON A 2014 CAR. IT HAS HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND KEPT IN GOOD CONDITION. THIS LOOKS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE HYUNDAI PUTS IN THEIR VEHICLES. THE SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY PEOPLE.
