Had oil changed at Take 5 recently as always do. 2 weeks later car cut off 3 times in traffic. Engine light came on. Car started to lose power/acceleration and engine began to make a ticking/knocking sound. I checked the oil and none was in it. I added 4 quarts to see would that help. It did not.

My car caught on fire in the parking lot of a business while I was inside of the business. The car was not started and just parked. The abs light was on since I bought the car and I had not had it looked at. I had no clue of the recall until today when this happened. The fire started under the hood somewhere. The fire department put the fire out and nothing other than that has been done. I will have a report in a few days.

The engine stopped while driving 60MPH on the highway. All dash symbol lights lit up, the brakes did not work, there was no power, the emergency brake did not work, the hazard lights did not work, loss of steering capabilities and I used the grass and rough roadside to stop the vehicle. Avoiding any accidents.

The rear brake lights keep blowing out every month! since there's no indications on the instrument cluster that my rear brake lights are out, the police and fellow drivers are the ones to tell me the lights are out. Not safe when both brake lights are out!

While driving my husband heard a loud pop. Immediately the front passenger tire went flat which caused severe loss of control. Thankfully he was on a local road with no other cars at the time. Apparently a coil spring fractured off and slashed the tire. This spring still looked brand new yet it just sheered off which must be some type of defect in manufacturing of the part. While researching this I found a recall #107096 for suspension front spring coil yet my 2011 Elantra does not show up for this recall? this defect in the spring coil could have caused catastrophic effects if we were driving faster on highway. I haven't yet been able to contact Hyundai in regards to this yet but you should be aware....this defect which could be deadly depending on the circumstances. I now have to pay $1000 to repair the struts and coils on both sides. I'm not sure why Hyundai has not recalled all cars, but this must be addressed for safety.

Awoke to garage fire in the middle of the night 04/27/2020. Hyundai on my lift for repairs. Upon clearing the debris, there was a hole/hot spot in the concrete where the car was found. Total loss of 2011 Hyundai, of my building & my shop equipment. The cause of fire was undetermined by the Maine state fire marshall's office.

The check engine light came on. We had someone get the code which is P0711. Why is there not a recall for the transmission temp sensor if this problem continues to happen to many many people. This is going to cost me $500-1000. This should be Hyundai's bill to pay.

My car won't start when turning the key it would make a click noise but won't turn on unless you try several times and sometimes it would take a hour or more to do so. Two years ago changed the battery thinking it was that but after all the dealer said it was the starter so it got changed. Three years since then now I am having the same problem. Took it to the mechanic and the car looks fine everything was diagnosed and seems ok so decided to leave it overnight so they can test it next day. Once they did the car didn't want to turn on so they boosted it and said it was the battery. After changing the battery three days later the car still giving me the same problem sometimes it won't turn on. Next step will be change the starter again but mechanics can't find the real problem because once the car desides to turn on there is no problem but it is a struggle not knowing when and where this will happen, it is very unsafe.

While driving my air bag light keeps blinking and my horn stopped working. Research shows that it is related to the steering column and the part that is defective is called a clock spring" this should be covered by recall"

Vehicle randomly does not start. When key is turned to position one lights, radio, windows, indicator lights all work as expected. When key is turned to start the engine nothing happens. The engine does not turnover or even attempt to turnover. The battery was replaced the first time this happened in April 2018. At that time I had the alternator and starter checked both were functioning properly. After repeated attempts to start the vehicle it has always started, eventually; it can take anywhere from 2 minutes to 30+ minutes for the engine to engage. When it first started occurring it happened pretty often. Prior to last Friday it had been a couple months since it took more than 30 minutes to start. I took the vehicle to another mechanic yesterday. Again starter, battery, alternator are all functioning properly. The mechanic mentioned that this model is known to have issues with the ignition and that I should contact the dealership, they may know what it is exactly. I've called two dealerships today, both say they know nothing about ignition problems in the vehicle.

My airbag light has come on a few months ago. This is an extremely common problem in the 2011 Hyundai Elantra. It is said to be the clockspring. Hyundai wants hundreds of dollars to replace this. The airbags will not deploy if the light is on, making it very dangerous to drive this car. This should be recalled! it is worth nothing that I did not have this problem until after Hyundai fixed the ECM recall. The airbag light came on as I drove home from this service.

Car will not start some times. Dealer says nothing wrong.

My vehicle picked up a slight vibration at about 30,000 miles. The vibration has gotten worst over time. I am currently at 57,000 miles and the vibration can be intensely felt inside the vehicle by all passengers when coming to a complete stop/idling/stationary. The vibration gets more intense when you have the A/C running. I have checked several forum pages and other drivers with similar cars are having this same issue. I have taken my car into a certified Hyundai dealership to be service. I paid $130 for a full diagnostic on July 17, 2018 after the vibrations started getting worst, and nothing was found about the vibrations. Mechanics couldn't pinpoint where it was coming from. I feel these vibrations everyday, and several times when I am in my vehicle. This issue should be looked into as soon as possible as it is causing uneasiness and stress. The vibrations can be felt at all speeds and more intense if you have the A/C on. I experience the issue in all season and weather conditions.

My car has making noise for a while. Emailed Hyundai and was told it is not under warranty and no recall for engine. Several complaints ha E been made online for this car regarding the engine which needs to be replaced. I'm afraid to drive it's my only car and I can't afford to pay $5000 for a new engine. I was stuck in the middle of a busy intersection when the car stalled and sounded like it was going to grind the engine up.

When the vehicle is in motion, the car when moving at a slow speed, like take off at a signal light, the car will shut down. While in motion the car will make loud noise when taking off slow. The sir bag light is on but dealer states nothing is wrong with the car. Engine light is not on. This has been happening for about a month. No one can seem to tell me what is the problem is or how to repair it. I checked google for the problem and many Hyundai Elantra owners are having the same issues. I feel like I was ripped off and Hyundai isn't doing anything about it. Please help

Driver and passenger sun visor hinge broken. Won't stay up. Hangs down in the drivers face and hinders drivers ability to see.

While I was driving, the car stalled. The tach reading droped to zero, and engine light was on. I tried restarting my car. I could drive slowly, but the engine light was still on, and the tach reading was still zero. This happened for a few times --- when I drove on highway, on a local street, and when I waited for a long light. If starting after a long enough rest, those symptoms might disappear temporarily.

The windshield wipers flew off of my car during a rain storm while I was driving. I was told by the place that repaired it that the dealership didn't fasten them on correctly. When I took my car in for an oil change the service technician said he fixed my recall as well - the car never had a recall repair notice ! air conditioner does not work - when service did oil change they tried to tell me it was going to be 415 dollars to fix the air because the discharge hose is leaking. The discharge hose costs $11 on the internet & valvolene instant oil change will refill the freon in your car for less than 140 dollars. The brake lights all have needed replaced consistently every other month - I'm wondering if there is some kind of short in the wiring?

City driving; there was the usual amount of "stop and go". as I was sitting at a red light, I noticed some smoke/steam coming from somewhere outside my car. I distinctly remember looking at my temperature gauge to see if it was running hot; but it was still in the normal range. I assumed it was coming from another vehicle around me. The next time I stopped at a red light, I saw the smoke/steam again; this time I noticed the distinct "sweet" smell associated to a vehicle overheating. My temp gauge was still registering as normal, but it was clear it was coming from my vehicle. I turned the heat on until I was able to pull into the next available parking lot to turn off my car and let it sit for a few minutes. After restarting it, the temp gauge registered as normal again, so I drove off. Shortly after, the temp gauge started to register the engine was overheating and smoke/steam was coming from under the hood. Just as I was pulling into another parking lot, the temp gauge spiked. After I parked and let the engine cool a bit, I opened the hood and it was clear that a hose or something had burst; there was coolant spewed everywhere and I saw a small hole in one of the hoses. I had it towed to the nearest dealership; after looking at it, they said the engine would need to be replaced because some oil/fluid had backed up into it, apparently at some point during that ordeal. I believe one of two things to be the cause: Either the temp gauge/component failed, therefore not notifying me of the engine overheating; or the engine was faulty. My "check engine" light was not on, and did not come on until after the temp gauge spiked. This issue cost me a total of nearly $6000 in repairs, including a new engine and the component that "talks" to the temp gauge. When this happened, the vehicle was less than 4 years old; I bought it used and had less than 2 years.

In the last year the mpg has dropped drastically. When purchased in 2011 (Elantra limited), I got 35 mpg. In the last month, I'm getting 16.9-20.9 mpg. My car has been in for the scheduled recalls, but nothing was detected. I called the dealership and they said that they were not notified of any such problem.
