CarComplaints.com Notes: So far the 2011 Elantra doesn't have the same volume of transmission problems that 2010 owners are fighting with. It also doesn't have the same pattern of steering and braking complaints that are piling up with the 2013 model year.
We're not saying the 2011 is perfect -- I mean, what were they thinking advertising their MPGs -- but there are worse choices.
My fan comes on when you tap on it from under the hood, it won't stay on, car runs hot and A/C stops working. I replaced the thermostat but that did nothing. It sounds like the fan wants to come on but when it tries it makes this clicking noise. I am trying to get this issue fixed so I can get out of this car for good. I just replaced the engine a year ago and now this. 1 year later and the car is broke down and not driveable AGAIN! I have spent more money fixing this damn car that it's even worth and I have been out of it more than in it because there is always something wrong with it. Anytime I have called Hyundai about any of the problems, they just want me to trade it in for a new one and I told them I wouldn't take a brand new one from them if they gave it to me.
I tried to use the A/C at the beginning of summer 2018 and I only felt warm air coming thru the vents for a couple of hours. After that, It started working throughout the season not as cold as it used to. Yet I tried to use it today (outside temperature 20 Deg C) with no success. I noticed the compressor isn't kicking in. Maybe it lost the gas or the compressor itself is gone. It feels like the quality of this vehicle is within medium and poor.
