general problems of the 2010 Hyundai Elantra - part 2

There have been many break ins since 2014. I got this car 02/2014 and since 07/2014 there have multiple break ins into this vehicle. Confirmed by lakeland Hyundai dealership in 2016. This dealership agreed to take the car for a day to do a thorough inspection to search for anything that should not be on the vehicle if I agreed to pay a fee. I was advised by this dealership to take it back to holler Hyundai in maitland or winter park, FL and see if they would agree to do the inspection here without charge even though you're out of warranty. Holler Hyundai does not have the equipment to do the inspection, only few selective stores in the state of florida have this equipment. I have complained to holler Hyundai since early 2015, and they never did anything about it. I contacted Hyundai motor finance at 800-633-5151 and all they did was take information down on paper but nothing beyond was resolved. Because of the break ins, this has affected our radio reception while parked sitting inside the car or in motion even when most of the time reception should be clear not cloudy. Electrical wires seem to cause skipping, and how the car functions when in motion. Just two days, I discovered a black jacket was taken from the car. Other items missing from the vehicle since then was: a very expensive burgandy handheld blow dryer; clothes; and other personal items that were hidden inside the vehicle were stolen. I have been very disappointed and upset with holler Hyundai and the car since all of this, and feel I shouldn't have to pay anything for this inspection. I'm not involved in any form of illegal activity neither my daughter. We are the only two with keys to this car and we drive together in the car 95% if not 100% of the time.

The rear passenger automatic door lock has stopped working. It has to manually unlocked and lockedfrom inside the car! I wonder what this will cost???.

Driving to work today the eps light came on while in the process of changing lanes. The steering wheel locked up causing the vehicle to do a bit of swerving. Managed to pull off to the side. Prior to all this, I complained about the eps as it was something that was happening before. The light would come on, the vehicle would lock up and upon turning off the ignition and restarting the vehicle, it would reset itself. I went and saw a mechanic , they alleged testing the vehicle for the eps problem however nothing came up and they refused to address that issue. , I called Hyundai warranty department and filed complain since I just run out of warranty and prior to this I had my car at the dealership before and left without repairs being done due to no code showing . I was told I should get the issues fixed and hope I mid be refunded. This is a serious safety issue and a defect on their part which needs to be addressed and at the expense of Hyundai. I am filing this complaint as I expected more from them and have gotten nothing besides bills left to pay for something Hyundai knew was an on going issue with the vehicle they had been selling. With the excuse they cant work on a car unless the code is showing. Well dear Hyundai the light shuts off when u turn the car off and it is dangerous to drive to an dealership for them to lock at the issue and it is ridicules to have a run around for a well know issue on your product that can cause an accident.

Purchased Elantra July 12, 2012. I called my brother for financing information. He came to the dealership. Mazda of orange. When he started reading the contract the became very upset. He called out the salesman for the extra charges, taking advantage of me, by not telling me I didn't have to add these things. The manager, ask me to come to his office to close the deal. I needed a CO-signer. A friend of mine said he would CO-sign. We signed. The first malfunction was the cruise control. I was in the number one lane the traffic began to slow. So I tapped the brake, again and again, it would not shut off. Even though I was applying the brakes. I was terrified and trembling. The second incident was when, I was pulling into a parking place, with my foot on the break. Even though I was applying the brakes, the car sped up went over two cement stops ultimately hitting another vehicle head on. This vehicle was pushed back approximately 6 ft. The third malfunction, was September 25th, 2013. Upon the request of a friend, I pick up her daughter from school. When we got home, I parked in the driveway on a slant. We removed the packages from the trunk into the house. I sat down in the drivers seat, with my feet outside the car on the pavement. The car lunged very hard and fast backwards. I, subsequently was pulled down and under the car. I was dragged 12 to 15 ft. When it stopped, my car had hit another car. I ended up under my vehicle, in serious condition. The national highwaytraffic safety administration had reported on-line that there were extensive recalls on this very model. I have yet to receive any notice.

With my car running, I was sitting in the drivers seat, with my legs and feet outside the car, on a drive way. My car came out of park, into reverse and drug my feet and legs under the car, while shooting backwards. My car stopped when it came to rest on another car. The person, whose car I hit and the women from the house, where I was visiting pulled me out from under the car.

When I purchased the car on the 23 of feburary the salesman assured me nothing was wrong with this car had only had one owner noticed that in the interior of the car there were water rings and a mold substance slaesman assured it was not mold took it basck 2 days later they replaced struts and again voiced my concern about mold was assured again it was not took it back on 13 of March the owner called and advised me to pick up car stated they had some one come out and inspect the car and they determined it was not mold when ask for a copy of document was told inspector refused to leave one. Esc light kept coming on sales manager instructed service dept not to touch my car got test run to check for reports on esc it came back with 2 code c1260(steering sensor)the other b1322(airbag controll)was told if it came back on to bring it back. I have tried to get these issues corrected on more that 4 occasions the owner didn't see a problem with the way I was treated . Mold is a health hazard I use my car for work. I am in home health and drive the elderly around this is very unhealthy and I think the dealership should correct this at their cost.

In October 2010 my 6-month old Hyundai Elantra touring caught fire after sitting in my driveway for nine hours. The vehicle was completely totaled. My insurance company (geico) secured the car and hired a forensic engineering company (down forensic engineering, inc. , cary nc) to investigate the origin of the fire. Down concluded that the fire was electrical and originated in the engine compartment. Hyundai motor America conducted its own inspection, which did not conclusively determine the cause or origin of the fire. Hyundai motor America did, however, offer to reimburse my insurance policy deductibles and to pay me $500 for “goodwill�, but has refused to replace the vehicle or reimburse me for any other expenses related to the fire. As far as I know, Hyundai motor America has not issued a recall or TSB on the car. I have refused to accept Hyundai motor America’s offer.

Water leaks from windshield area into behind dashboard and accumulates on floor mats(front area). Front right wheel scraping noise. Already replaced tire, premature tire failure. Heater control lights turns off.

I have a 2010 Hyundai Elantra. Filed a report on the suspension, steering and brakes. This report is something I didn't think about until I saw others were having these two issues. 1. When you take the key out of the ignition, it still dings and the doors won't lock. I am assuming it still think the key is in the ignition. You have to put the key back in and take it out again to get the dinging to stop. 2. I have two cigarette lighter receptacles (now known as 12v accessory sockets). Cannot use both at the same time as it causes the tpms light to come on. A few seconds after one of the receptacles have been emptied the tpms light goes out. The first issue happens while parked and the second issues happens whether parked or driving . . . Mostly when driving.
