About 3 months ago my 2013 hyundai elantra became sluggish in accelerating. It has gradually gotten worse. I tried fuel cleaners, premium gas, and now a tune up replacing coil packs and plugs. The vehicle crawls and does not accelerte as quick as it should. It cuts off or refuses to move when given gas at all stops. I switch off then on at red lights as it seems to want to take off when the engine is started. When i…

I have owned my car for a little over 3 years now. I started having problems with my fob not unlocking my car. I would had to press the unlock button several times to unlock. Then i also started having problems with not being able to turn on my car(with the push start) because the brake pedal was really stiff. I had to press hard on the brake in order to successfully turn on my car. Recently i've had a check engine…

Driver was making a left turn into a parking space on 2nd floor of parking garage. As the left turn was made, the elantra gt suddenly accelerated by itself into a wall, hitting a pole and the wall. Hyundai is investigating. Dealer is useless. Right now unsure how to proceed. Exterior can be fixed, but what about the problem? *tr

As others have mentioned, i have had both problems starting the vehicle (the car could not be started on two occasions so far, despite having adequate fuel and a charged battery), and with the rear of the car swinging out when traveling over a bump or on slippery road conditions (even at speeds as low as 35 mph, there is a noticeable kick from the rear of the vehicle, which has worsened with time). For both cases,…

Walked to a station and got a gas can; put a couple of gallons in, started the car, and the meter started dropping dramatically, going from 112 miles remaining to 104 to 98... All the way down to 82 miles remaining before i even started driving. Drove about a quarter mile, and it fell another 3 miles. Don't know yet if the car if the problem…
