general problems of the 2009 Hyundai Elantra

Air bag light is on as soon as car power on until it turns off passenger airbag is off I dont know if my airbags will deploy if I get in an accident . While driving steady speed of 50-60 mph while pressing gas sometimes it doesn’t increase speed but instead jerks until I let go of the gas and then depress it again it happenes maybe 2-3 times during a drive .

Drove about 1 hour using cruise control part of the time. Don't usually use it, but used it 2 months ago with no problem. After 1. 5 hour visit, drove home. Did not use cruise control, but at last 10 minutes acceleration issue started where car would "rev" even though I was not accelerating. Able to manage it with brake and normal driving. Tried to reset cruise (turn on/off), but car still had episodes of "revving". Did not accelerate to dangerous level and controllable. After car sat in garage for 2 hours, I drove out of neighborhood to empty stretch of road and accelerated to 50 with no problems and no revving of engine. Service check scheduled.

Acceleration faulty cruse control.

Tl the contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that the vehicle accelerated when the gear was placed in reverse. When the brake pedal was applied, the vehicle surged to an unknown high rate of speed. When placed in neutral, the vehicle failed to decelerate. As a result, the contact sideswiped another vehicle. A police report was not filed. The driver was not injured. A dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was parked at the contact's residence due to the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

I was pulling out of a parking lot today going about 20mph when my car started speeding up. I started braking, but the engine seemed to just want to go. I was coming to a stop sign and cars were coming so I just turned off the switch and it stopped. When I restarted it, it seemed normal and I drove very carefully home. I am going to try to rent a car till this gets checked. It scared me to death and has never happened before.

This has happened to me 2 times, upon driving the car it randomly accelerates all on its own. Its as if someone is putting the pedal to the metal and trying to brake at the same time. . Slamming on the brakes only slows it down but not enough then I proceed to pull the emergency brake all the way which only assits a little. . So at this point I am at the complete mercy of a vechicle with a mind of its own. . Im stuck driving a car that wont stop for 3 exits in the breakdown lane and 2 seconds away from calling the state police for assistance. . . Putting it into neutral didnt stop it either it kept going!!! took it immediatly to the Hyundai dealership and after putting 100 miles on it to try and recreate the issue ( which thats a very dangerous issue to recreate ) it didnt occor for them so I was handed my keys and told to drive off in a possible death machine with a mind of its own. I take my car for the scheduled maitinece and do my part so Hyundai should not want thier loyal consumers driving such hazards. . . . Ive read several simailar stories and people have had no luck in getting this matter resolved thier soulution was to get a new car . . . If only it was that easy.

I was driving to work, went to pass a car, my vehicle kept accelerating. I pulled back into the right lane, stepping on the brakes as the car kept going faster. I stood on the brakes , no luck, pulled the emergency brake, it slowed down a little, so I turned the car off and coasted onto the side of the road. I turned the car on again to put it in park, I had to fight with it and the engine was just screaming. I got it in park and shut it off again. It was very scarey to have no contol of the speed. When the tow truck came the ar would not start at all, he said the battery was dead. Now I'm waiting to hear from the dealer.

I was driving home from work on sun night prior to my accident went around a curve and car started loosing control was able to regain control and headed home. Next morning was driving vehicle noticed esc light was on and would not reset even after shutting car off. Driving down another road at approx. 40-45 mph went to negotiate a slight turn to the left when car started sliding out from under me tapped brakes trying to get them to grad and car under control but had no response car did a 180 and slammed in a telephone pole on passenger side vehicle seemed to hit with more force than 40 miles an hour. Thankfully I had no passenger because they may not have made it.

Tl- the contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while driving 2 mph the vehicle accelerated independently only to be stopped by the concrete parking chocks. The failure recurred whenever the contact would attempt to park the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the throttle body was filling up with gasoline causing the surge. The mechanic stated that the accelerator needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the would contact him at a later date. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 13,135. Pmb.
