    Service Brakes · Steering · Unknown Or Other

    My elantras brake lights are always on. My traction control light, eps light, abs light, and brake warning light are always on as well. I see where my vehicle is shown that the recalls have already been repaired on my car and i do not believe that is true or this would not be happening. My brakes lights constantly being on is a major problem because that can cause confusion on other drives and especially when i'm…

    Heating hose assembly and upper and lower radiator hoses wore out in less than 2 years on a brand new car. I was told it was due to normal wear and tear. 5 days after i had an oil change and multipoint inspection done on my car, the engine overheated while i was driving. I took it back to the dealership where i had gotten it serviced.

    Unknown Or Other · Vehicle Speed Control

    I was slowly going into my parking spot and the car suddenly accelerated and lurched forward. I tried to brake, didn't seem to do any good. It hit concrete protecting a street light and was smashed up and stopped. It was terrifying. I the car did this on it's own. I know where my feet were and i was in good shoes. I'm a classically trained professional ballet dancer and i know where my feet are in space and what…

    Steering · Unknown Or Other

    Steering is quite tight at times on slow turns; however, when full speed 0-70, seems the power steering is cutting off and on and sticking. Going around a curve causes the steering to tighten up and it takes massive effort to bring it back center, and sometimes this causes you to over correct which is a safety issue. It's like a sticking sensation in the wheel, pulling. Tires are good, alignment is amazing. None of…
