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…

I have a 2013 hyundai elantra coupe which is experiencing issues with the mdps flexible coupling. There is a clicking noise when you turn the steering wheel. This is currently covered under the recall for hyundai elantra and sonata but not the elantra coupe 2 door model which i have. The elantra coupe model should be included in the recall.

The vehicle has a strange sound when started up in the mornings. Almost like a ticking or small knocking sound. When i put my car in reverse to back up it starts to jerk like it's about to shut off. Also that same jerking occurs while driving on the highway. When my car is at the speed 35 it starts to jerk like it's about to shut off too. It happens all day long between the speeds 35 to 65. When i turn on the ac my…

2013 hyundai elantra gt: no control of the car when you hit bumps or cracks in the road very hard to keep in the lane your driving in this is at all speeds on any city road or highway ten times worse on snow and wind. The car only works proper on a brand new road without wind, snow, ice, rain, cracks, or bumps and should only be sold as a race car not a public street driving car! I am scared for my life every time i…

Veh shuts off when drops below 1-0 rpms, usually when making turns or slowing down to make a stop. On few occasions it turned off while just driving down street. Never know when it will happen . It's just like someone turns the key off, not a stall . This has been happening every day since at least dec of 2018..it is now mar 2019. It is happening more & more frequently.

It didn't stop until i put it in park. I have witnesses who saw this happen. I drove the car…

There was a loud shotgun sound which was followed by the glass of the sunroof falling between the cloth cover into the car on us. There was no rocks or giant pinecones near by that could have struck the car or caused the damage.

Takata recall 2013 elantra will disperse a huge cloud of smoke when accelerating quickly making it impossible for drivers behind me to see. This happens intermittently but most often when pulling out onto a busy highway making it incredibly unsafe for people behind me. There is so much smoke it takes about 30 seconds to a minute to for me to see the cars behind me. There are numerous complaints on line about this…

The airbag light came on and stayed on - took to dealer to find out why - told the air bag control module needed replaced (code b1620) at a whopping cost of $1400! Plus the $110 it cost me to have it diagnosed. I have a warranty however this safety issue is not covered and i find that very upsetting as there are many complaints on air bags not going off because of this unit! The car is 5 years old and has less than…

Vehicle keeps shutting off/ stalling. First dealer claimed it was a yaw rate sensor. Sensor was changed and did not solve issue. It was also experiencing fuel pump problems, gas would leak when filling and gas would not calculate mileage or update. Second dealer did not see a fuel pump problem. Now believes its a ecm problem. They did not want to cover it under warranty.

Exploding sunroof while driving on a clear, sunny, 70 degree day on a smooth interstate at 60 mph, right lane about to exit, scared me half to death. Saw absolutely nothing around me that could have hit me and not knowing what, quickly slowed to pull over on shoulder before my destined exit, where i determined on a highway of fast moving cars, that my forward piece sunroof was shattered. Had car towed as i didn't…

When attempting to start vehicle the "p" does not show in the information panel and the car will not start. Vigorous shaking of the gear selector sometimes allows the "p" to illuminate and then the car will start. The vehicle is not in motion and has been parked in garage. This started in october and happens more and more frequently.
