For a few months i had a rattling noise coming from the rear of the car when my car was idling on a city street facing downhill (at a stop sign). Then it got suddenly worse for 2 days, so that it rattled all the time when idling in drive or park (stopped at lights or signs or in a parking space). Then it completely stopped rattling - and the next day another driver on the highway, on the 4th of july, notified me…

While i drive down the road, weather it be at 10mph or 55mph, my eps light and emergency brake light will turn on and my car will stop. It will not turn off until my car is stopped, turned off. And turned back on again. Since the power steering is lost i can not just turn to the side of the road. I have to pray that no one will be coming up behind me and hit me causing an accident. Before that will happen for two…

Passenger side sun visor became disconnected and its weight pulled its wire out 2 inches so that it would not go back in and would not stay up anymore. Now it is completely off and too expensive to fix. Many people have reported this problem and it should be a recall. We may have to have it fixed without having the electrical hooked up to run the mirror light, which is really annoying.

The air bag light came on in my 2007 hyundai elantra. When i took it to the dealership, they said that there was some kind of electrical failure in the driver's side buckle assembly. I have heard of similar issues in 2006-2008 sonatas. I am concerned that this may be a factory defect. *tr

My airbag lights came on and i took it to the dealer. It took them over two hours to find the problem: the entire floor harness is corroded from some sort of "meltdown" and needs to be replaced. Cost = $4800. I feel this is a major design flaw in the vehicle and hyundai should replace the floor harness as a goodwill warranty issue. There is no way a 6 year old car with only 35,000 miles on it should be experiencing…

According to hyundai customer service this problem was repaired on march 09, 2010. I understand now there is a new recall out there for the same issue. I did not receive any notification of this recall that was issued in april of 2013. So i am assuming that according to hyundai my vehicle is not a…

Vent fan (which is required for proper functioning of the defroster during winter) stopped working. Consumers will be out of pocket to fix this or will be left forcing to drive in unsafe conditions with foggy windows. If there is a pattern here, please have hyundai issue a recall. Thanks. *tr

The incident is liquid that dripped into the emergency brake causing wires to melt for the airbag system. The cup holders are located directly beside the emergency brake. The emergency brake housing, contains the wiring harness for the vehicle. There is no sort of protective device to keep liquids from getting on the wiring. What happened in my instance is that liquid must have dripped off of a cup in the cupholder,…
