general problems of the 2001 Hyundai Elantra

Electrical issues with power locks. The vehicle overall is unsafe due to the progressive motor, electrical, and complex issues effecting the basic usage of my car.

Turning onto main street when a large oak tree fell from left side of road, catching lower drivers sidefront fiberglass bumper and tow bar. Making the car stop abrubtly. Air bags deploid, passenger side shattered windshield and ripped dash area on passenger side. The bag hit my wifes right arm and shattered all the bones from her elbow to her fingers. We are 74,and 75 yrs of age. As driver my lip was split open. I was able to drive the car to my home 5 blocks away looking through a shattered windshield. But the wife had to spend 5 days in hosp. And two surgeries to put her arm back together. The air bag did all of the bad damage to my vehicle and my wife. All attempts to have legal help has been turned down saying not enough to take to court. Can you help. The air bag almost killed her. They are supposed to help not mame. . . Thankyou.

I have a pending case no. [xxx] with Hyundai. My sons vehicle has been at advantage Hyundai in hicksville, NY (the "dealer") since April 5 pending a recall repair (NHTSA campaign id no. 09v125000). I contacted the dealer again today and spoke to michael keily (516-465-7700) who informed that he had no idea when the needed part will be available and therefore he was unable to give me a date by which I can expect the vehicle to be repaired. Mr. Keily also informed me today that Hyundai corporate will only pay $35 per day for a rental replacement vehicle. I contacted enterprise car rental and they informed me that a compact vehicle will cost $58. 50 per day given that my son is 21 years old. My son has been without a vehicle for a month, has no means of transportation to get to his summer job and cannot afford the economic hardship of paying an additional $23. 50 per day. I contacted Hyundai corporate (1-800-633-5151) and after being on music hold for over 2 â½ hours, two different customer service representatives informed me that they would need an additional 2 to 3 business days before they could provide me with an answer as to whether Hyundai would absorb the full cost of a rental vehicle. Hyundai has failed to repair my son's vehicle within a reasonable time" (page 14 NHTSA "motor vehicles safety defects and recalls- what every vehicle owner should know") and therefore they should be compelled to pay for the full cost of a rental vehicle without further delay. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Unable to control front wheel direction when car started to slide into oncoming traffic, was unable to control car to turn in opposite direction, happened without warning. Received motor vehicle recall on 3/9/2010 about possibility of this happening. Hyundai Elantra 2001. Also side door air bag did not inflate.

2001 Hyundai Elantra was taken to ourisman Hyundai Mazda of laurel, MD to have them perform the Hyundai recall no. 88 (NHTSA campaign 08v532000). Dealer failed to install the recall repair item yet dealer claimed the recall work was completed. Photos of unmodified vehicle are available. Subsequently and on the same day of claimed repair, the srs (air bag) control module began to show a failure light on the vehicle dashboard. Vehicle was returned to ourisman Hyundai to correct the failure on 8/28/09. Dealer claimed the srs control module was (now) defective and must be replaced at owners expense. The srs control module on this vehicle appeared to perform its function correctly for 8 years; no failure symptoms were evident. Dealer recall work has rendered the srs control module inoperative. Due to dealer action, our family is not longer protected by the safety restraint system.

I was involved in a pretty intensive accident on 2-3-04 and I could have really hurt myself bad and the airbags did not release to save my life. I could have really been hurt, I bought my car based on its safety features and at the time when I need my car to work the most the safety was not there.

The vehicle was involved in a frontal collision at 30 mph in which the vehicle was also hit on both sides by another motorist. None of the air bags deployed upon impact. As a result the driver sustained injuries to her neck, head, shoulder and hip.

Hit other car going about 45-50mph. Both driver and passenger airbags did not diploy. Would have had 2 fatalities if seatbelts were not worn.

As I applied the brakes on a wet road surface, the brakes locked and I hydroplaned. In an attempt to avoid hitting another vehicle, I swerved and slammed into a utility pole. The car hit the pole just a few inches off dead center, causing such severe damage to the car it has since been totalled by the insurance company. In the accident I sustained neck, back, mouth and hand injuries. None of the 4 front air bags deployed. Dt.

Consumer applied brakes at 30-35 mph, vehicle did not slow down. Consumer pumped brake pedal numerous times, no braking action, vehicle hit a concrete wall. Vehicle was totalled. Driver and passenger suffered injuries. None of the air bags deployed in the accident.

While traveling at 50 mph, a vehicle pulled in front of consumer. Consumer hit the vehicle, causing consumer to t-bone. None of the airbags deployed.
