Clockspring Failure. 2016 hyundai elantra, 123k miles. Airbag light on, horn does not function. Likely unavailable for inspection due to being replaced soon. Inability to use horn to alert reckless drivers swerving into my lane. Airbag will not deploy if needed in an accident. The dealership seemed aware that the clocksprings go out in Hyundai's and is confident this is the issue. Warning lamp prior/at the same time as the horn stopped working.
My Hyundai Elantra started completely shutting off while I was driving. This happened on multiple occasions like in slow traffic and while going high speeds on the highway. This is scary and dangerous when my toddler child is in the car. I took it to 3 different mechanics and no one can find any codes or anything wrong with it---but it continues to happen and put my life and my daughters life at risk. I have seen so many people complaining of the same thing--but nothing has happened? This last dealership has had my car for 3 weeks (and counting) but still cannot find the issue. I have about 125,000 miles on the car.
My Elantra stalled while driving twice the other day. The first time I occurred on a Highway inter belt and the second occurred in slow moving traffic. I had the car evaluated by 2 different repair shops. Both said they could not reduplicate the problem or find any malfunctioning codes. No warning lights appeared when the car stalled. I had this happen before last fall. I had it repaired. They changed spark plugs, performed engine oil system purge, serviced fuel injector and air induction and realigned tires. Until the day before yesterday, the car performed well. In researching my car issue, I have learned that this is a top complaint of many 2016 Elantra owners.

Front headlights need replacing one monthly. Had it repaired at the dealership while still under factory warranty. I was told it was a wiring issue but several months after the problem still persists. The front highbeams and daylights have been replaced for going out (no longer working) 12 times in 2 years.
The car does not turn over when you initially start car you have to turn the key back and try starting again it has been consistently doing this for over a year and no mechanic can figure out what the problem is. Other than that there is no issues with the driving.
When I attempt to start the car the engine turns but won't turn over. The car does this more often in very cold weather. Even in warm weather it will start sometimes and sometimes I have to try multiple times and sometimes it will not start at all. There are no check engine or other indicators that there is an issue with the car. The only other thing that may or may not be related that is different from what I normally expect is that sometimes the while driving, the car will not accelerate in a timely manner. There is a bit of a hesitation as if the fuel output is not increasing. This happens while I'm already driving (for example when I'm going from the access road and entering the highway or when there is a speed limit increase of some kind). I was told by a mechanic that the part affected is connected to other systems in the car that have an electrical component such as the fuel pump.
Hi... I own 11 Elantra's. 4-2013, 3-2016, 2-2018, 1-2019, 1-2020. I own a driving school. They all have a problem with burning out light bulbs, headlights, side markers and tail lights. I am replacing bulbs 2 to 3 times a week. I also had to replace sockets because they melted. The plastic holders for the headlights and the center brake light also melted. I would like to know if there is a remedy for this or one in the process. I also have a complaint on why it so difficult to remove the headlight bulbs.
Started ascending over a bridge when car started to putter. Then smoke came out of the tailpipe. Power flickered then went off. Was able to coast to the side of the road. Turned off the car and it was smoking. Looked underneath the car and saw dripping fluid then a spark. That is when the car caught on fire.
When car is slowing at intersection, car will shake violently and completely shut down. Once car is put in park and key is taken out, car starts up immediately. Has happened 5 times over the course of 2 weeks. Seems like I have to put more pressure on gas pedal to go even slightly faster.
While driving the clock will start to flash then the headlights will flash as the radio/clock flashes. If head lights are off the light by gauges will start flashing making a clicking noise, the battery light will sometimes come on and flash also. If I turn the air on the flashing will stop. This has happened about 6 times in the last two weeks.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Elantra. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The driver coasted to the side of the road, restarted the vehicle, and resumed driving. On another occasion, while driving 55 mph, there was a knocking noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the air conditioner compressor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 21,000.
