I am literally scared to death to drive this car again in the winter. On monday, november 30, 2015, we received our first storm of the season. I was driving on almost entirely clear roads until i went over an overpass that must have had a thin layer of ice on it. My car began fishtailing so bad that i had to use both lanes to recover. Thank god no one was in the lane next to me, or one or both would be severely…

My car was sitting at my apartment. Went to go to the store and the car wouldn't start. The car would not turn over no matter many times i would try and start it. I had to call my dad who told me to hold gas pedal down and start the car. This happened twice. Took it to the dealership, said they couldn't do anything about it because it wasn't happening at that moment. Car starts to jerk while driving. Started off…

2012 elantra limited fails to start when in park. Battery is fine, all electrical equipment is working. Engine does not crank when the push to start button is pressed. Sometimes it starts after a few tries, but it would not start after trying 10 minutes yesterday. I tried again in the morning and it started without any problem. I search the web and have read that a lot of people are having this problem. People…

My car won't start the first 4-5 times i hit the start button. The first time it happened my car was lower on gas and the outside temperature was very low. I filled the car up, ran at highway speeds for 20 minutes. The next day it was the same situation. I took it to a service garage and they tested the battery and alternator, both were perfect. I thought it might just be the cold, even though i never had these…

On three occasions the past 2 weeks, my car would not start. In researching the issue, i find that this is a common occurrence with 2012 and 2013 elantras. While this is not a safety problem with vehicle performance, it is a safety issue for the driver finding out that your car won't start and it's the middle of the winter. Hyundai needs to address this common issue and issue a recall to repair the defective…

Car won't start on several occasions. For about a week straight, i would try to start my car in the morning and it would not start. All lights come on in the car so it's not the battery. After about 3 tries, car starts. Also happens when i leave work at lunch time after it has been just sitting for a few hours. Usually it starts after 2 or 3 tries and turning the key all the way and holding it there until it does. A…

When turning on the ignition switch the car interior lights light up. Turning the key to the ignition position, nothing happens. There is no draw on the dash lights or any other lights on the car. It simply has no noticeable effect. I have to turn the key off and on numerous times before it starts. Not starting is, of course, a concern. The expenses from taking it to a mechanic has become a real drain on our…

I have had multiple instances where my car has trouble starting, or will not start at all. Beginning in 2012, when the car had to be towed to the local dealer (tustin hyundai - patterson's) as it wouldn't start. The dealer had the car for roughly three weeks straight, and could not find a problem, so they decided to replace the fuel pump system. Then again in february 2013, my car still had issues starting properly,…
