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.

The passenger side mirror turn blinker failed, rendering the old light ineffective. I attempted to replace both indicator lights with compatible LEDs, and the driver's side works fine, but the passenger's side remains ineffective. There are no visibly damaged components to the electrical leads or wires, either at the mirror or at the pigtail cluster under the hood, and none of the car's fuses are out. I tested the passenger's side connection with the working driver's side light, and it didn't work on the passenger's side. Very likely a draw somewhere, but an inscrutable problem that seemingly arose for no reason.
