Takata recall on 9/23/2018, about an hour after a rainstorm (car was garaged during storm) my car was in motion at 40 mph in the left lane on a curve of a southbound interstate exit i275. The car suddenly went sideways, and began fishtailing. I tried to pump the breaks but they were not working. The vehicle then smashed the front side of bumper into the guard rail, and pushed me across two traffic lanes. The vehicle…

The esc (traction control) randomly comes on while cruising at highway speeds on straight, level, dry roads (often on interstates). Sometimes the abs lights also light up. Brakes are applied and power to the engine is suspended making the can nearly impossible to control properly. My car has been in the shop now under warranty for over 60 consecutive days and the dealership and hyundai cannot determine the reason…

After less than 2 years, the car battery dies and disables the control of this particular car and year. Many customers, according to reviews, seem to have the same problem. Should the battery falter when driving on a highway, serious accidents could result. My vehicle was moving at a slow pace in the parking lot when the battery died. I lost control of the car. I was not expecting the battery to die as it is only…

This has happened about 4 times, but yesterday was the latest. While driving on the turnpike at 75 mph, the traction light came on (which is for the esc) and the car immediately de-accelerated to about 35 mph. I had no control over the car could not accelerate or brake. The car made a grinding noise and sounded like it had a flat tire - it was hard to maintain control of the car. It finally returned to normal. I…

On 5/30/14 i purchased a 2013 hyundai elantra close out with 54 miles on it. At 4300 miles i lost all control of the steering and the car went across 3 lanes of interstate 3 times before i regained control of the car. I returned the car to the dealer and had to "trade it in" to get a different car. I left the dealer with a 2014 elantra limited on 7/21/14 having to pay them an $4500 extra. The 2014 felt better on the…
