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.

I TOOK MY CAR IN TO ROSEVILLE TO HAVE THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL CHECKED AND DID NOT GET A DEFINITIVE ANSWER DUE TO TIME RESTRAINT AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO BRING IT BACK FOR THE DAY. THEY STATED THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG. THE TEMPERATURE AT 73 WAS BLOWING COLD AIR SO IF I INCREASED TO HIGH I WOULD GET HEAT.. I COULD THEN START BRINGING THE TEMPERATURE DOWN AND I WOULD GET WARM AIR AT 73 DEGREES, BUT IF I DID NOT DO THIS, IT WOULD STAY COLD AT 73 DEGREES AND UNDER. I TOOK IT TO FOLSOM HYUNDAI BECAUSE THEY WERE CLOSER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. THE CAR IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. I WILL RETURN TO ROSEVILLE AND HAVE THEM RE EVALUATE THE HEATER. PRIOR TO THIS PROBLEM AT 73 DEGREES IT WORKED AND WAS VERY WARM. VERY FRUSTRATED, MY CAR ONLY HAS 35,000 MILES ON IT!
