CarComplaints.com Notes: There's an emerging trend of transmission problem with the 2010 Elantra at fairly early mileage.

So far owners report having the transmission replaced under warranty but that won't hold up for much longer. It may be a bit premature but for now we're putting the "CLUNKER" rating on the 2010 Elantra just to be safe.

Speaking of being safe, you might not be unless Hyundai can figure out why their airbags aren't deploying.

Elantra L 2.0L

Here in Canada not only does rain rush into the trunk when opening it, but large chunks of snow fall in too. Lovely! Doesn't anyone test these kinds of things before they are sold to the public?

Elantra 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 9,000 miles

ever since i bought the elantra, when it rains, upon opening the trunk, water from the trunk lid just runs right into the trunk onto anything in the trunk..( groceries, packages, etc. ) my carpeting in the trunk is going to get MUSTY< etc. plus under the carpeting, the spare tire rim will be getting rusted from the dampness coming from the water in the trunk ...... the dealer said " JUST TAKE A BIG BATH TOWEL AND WIPE THE TRUNK LID BEFORE OPENING THE TRUNK " !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A CROCK OF B.S. !!!!! I didn't pay all this money for a car that i would have to WIPE OFF THE TRUNK BEFORE I STORED ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING IN MY TRUNK.. THEY SAID IT IS A '' DESIGN PROBLEM'' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! does any other elantra owner have this problem ??????? please give me some input. thanks
