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…

Just bought the 2013 hyundai elantra, 12/21/2019, after about 100 miles of driving we noticed the steering wheel is off center.

More noticeable from 30 to 55 worse over 55. Driving on dirt road feels like it…

My brake lights went out at same time, so i was researching what to do and read about the one recall (#146) that i had done already. It said something about starting your car without depressing the brake pedal. I do not depress the pedal when i start my car. Is this an issue?

Tl* the contact owns a 2019 hyundai elantra. While driving 53 mph, a deer collided with the vehicle. While coasting over to the side of the median, the brake pedal was depressed to the floorboard and failed to stop the vehicle. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The contact quickly engaged the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic…

My recent facebook post: hyundai owners beware. Hyundai currently has 3 recalls that affect my car by production date, yet there are "no open safety recalls or service campaigns for this vehicle". The same last year when we tried to correct the defective transmission harness issue - it somehow didn't apply to our vehicle even though the part number was identical to that which was covered under the recall.
