Unknown. When financing the vehicle through adonis auto group I was unaware of the unrepaired safety recall. Also I am under the impression nothing was done to the car before purchasing it, I have had to make repairs to the car only after 10,000 - 15,000 miles of driving. For example replacing the control arm, axle, brake hardware. My point is they are selling cars without repairing them and not advising the customer upon purchase. I also asked for the repair paperwork for what has been done to the car before purchase and never received it.
There's a piston slap ,the engine block is damaged to the risk pin bushing ,connecting rods needs replacing the piston slap noise is in the upper end of the engine ,the gas tank want hold gas.

My check engine lights comes on and off when it pleases . My tire light is usually always on , just been having lots of trouble with it here recently.
The Hyundai Elantra has an intermittent starting problem. This problem is hard to duplicate. The solution requires various attempts at trying the start switch along with the movement of shift lever. This becomes a safety problem since it requires numerous attempts to move shift lever from park to neutral position. When attempting to start vehicle after a number of times the power brakes take extreme pressure to control the vehicle from moving. At times, the shift lever will not move properly out of the park position and still not start. This has happened numerous times. The local Hyundai service warned me if problem cannot be duplicated owners are responsible for diagnostic and service costs that would likely be $200 or more. On one occasion the car was parked in my garage for about a week along with daily attempts at trying to start the car did not start the engine. Finally it started and did not have problems during the complete summer, but once the temperature has been below 40-50 degrees f problems occurred. I am very leery at allowing other family members to operate vehicle since some may have difficulty in applying the large amount of braking force to stop vehicle from moving on an incline when attempting to start vehicle. I reviewed the service bulletin no. : TSB-12-at-022-1 on Hyundai Elantra and kia recall NHTSA campaign number: 13v114000 . Note many kias and Hyundai vehicles are similar in parts and function. After reading the NHTSA campaign number: 13v114000 about kia, I did recall incidents of intermittent failing of brake lights and intermittent esc light malfunction.
Driving down road. Something fell off the bottom of the vehicle. Arrived at destination and smelled strong odor of gas. Looked under vehicle and saw gas running out onto ground. Took car to mechanic. Was told gas system had corroded through allowing gas to leak onto ground. Had car towed to dealer for warranted repairs. Dealer service personnel not forthcoming with cause of leak, will not provide affected parts for inspection. I considered this an extreme fire hazard as a pool of gas collected under and around the vehicle.
My engine light came on and I took it to the local firestone auto center and they told me that the code was a p2096 and it was a service recall with Hyundai. The service no. Is 13-FL-006. I called Hyundai and they told me that my car was not on the list,but firestone told me it was. Who shall I believe?can some one help me with this. Thanks. . . .
