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.

Car power goes out for a few seconds while driving. Happened several times such as when turning lights on or signal and all lights on dash go out. Car has also lost power when putting it into reverse and had to restart it. Its an automatic so shouldn't be happening. Also auto locks aren't at times. Hyundai has already replaced the radio and locks thinking this was the fix and clearly its not.
