CarComplaints.com Notes: We're not used to seeing any major problems with Hyundai, which makes the early signs of trouble with the 2013 Elantra very surprising, in a bad way.
Early trends show problems with the steering wandering / pulling to one side along with premature tire wear. Elantra owners have tried sensor adjustments, wheel alignments, even replacing axles, most with no luck. Hyundai has made vehicle buybacks through arbitration, but that rarely works out well financially for owners in the end.
Also there is a pattern of complaints about the 2013 Elantra brakes grinding at very low mileage. It seems there was a bad batch of OEM pads & rotors, but so far Hyundai is not doing a recall. Instead Hyundai issued a TSB & dealers have been replacing pads & rotors on a per-complaint basis.
The final straw is that for several years in a row, Elantra owners report significantly lower gas mileage than the EPA estimates, & there's a small trend of engine problems.

Calgary Hyundai said there was a leak in the clutch to get fixed and it would cost a grand. Went to BC after the clutch started smelling and slipping. I think 120,000 kms is a little excessive for a clutch to go. I had it towed to Canadian Tire in Chilliwack and fixed there. At the last oil change at Calgary Hyundai they were saying my clutch was going and I am wondering if these guys are honest in there service. Now with engine issues I want to sue Hyundai for a new car.
