Car does not start - key is in ignition, lights and sensors all work - turn key in ignition to "on" position - no start. Going through several gyrations jiggle the shifter, step on brake, lock and unlock car from inside with fob - then car starts usually. Car was taken to college park Hyundai - service found poor connection at mps box; secured connections, no show on diagnostics. Got in car at dealership, did not start on 1st time. Took car home - same thing - not starting on first try (sometimes). Returned car back to dealership 2-24-15 - still cannot duplicate or find problem. Returned car back to dealership 3/2/15 - cannot find problem. Am picking up car today 3-10-15.
On or around may 29, I noticed some rust spots in the hood of my Hyundai Elantra 2011. Being a 2 year old vehicle, rust it something that I wouldn't expect. So I took it to global auto mall in north plainfield, NJ, on June 12, 2013 to have the issue inspected and, I hoped, resolved. After patiently awaiting for about 3 hours, I received the following diagnose: "paint chip due to impact from rock kicking up on vehicle". I stressed to both the servicer advisor, ted contoleon, and the person that worked on the issue, mr. Julio mejia, that I could not believe a simple rock hitting a hood of the car could cause rust damage. We've driven the santa fe for almost 7 years and it has no rust stains at all, even thought rocks have hit the hood and other parts of the santa fe quite a few times. Furthermore, rocks have hit a few times other parts of the Elantra body and the rest of the body shows no rust damage. I do believe it's unacceptable for a 2 year car to have rust damage. Cnsidering that global auto mall refused to address the rust issue, I reached out to Hyundai on June 23 via e-mail, but Hyundai refused to address the issue. . Read more...
I bought my Hyundai Elantra new in 2011 since owning the vehicle it's been a nightmare and I get very little if any help from the local Hyundai dealer. I have had numerous issues with the vehicle not starting (car is silent when I turn the key in the ignition, car cranks but won't turn over, engine starts but dies, car dies without any reason). I've brought up complaints and concerns to the local dealership but they are never of any help. I recently had to have the starter replaced but it was only replaced because my car one day wouldn't start at all. Since the replacement I am still met with my car not starting at least once a week if not more. Yesterday my sun roof would not close completely, it retracts a few inches from closing, this is not new to me, multiple intermittent electrical issues, such as is occuring now - the sun roof retracting on its own without any visible reason. Or when the gear shift is put in park/reverse, etc. Sunroof will take on a mind of its own. I'm fed up with this lemon of a car and as I see from all the other complaints online about starting issues Hyundai needs to do something about it - figure out the reason why and let us consumers know.
On numerous occasions the tires blow out or get a large bulge in the sidewall. And the rims also bend. The littlest pothole or bump will cause this to happen. This is because of a poor design by Hyundai . These low profile wheels and tires don't belong on this car as the suspension is way too stiff for these wheels and tires. It doesn't matter what brand of tire I put on the car the same thing still keeps happening. ,blow out after blowout. This is a huge safety concern. Someone could get killed from these tires so easily blowing out. Something has to be done. Please help me with my problem. The problem is the 17 inch alloy wheel with the low-profile tire not having much cushion between the road and the rim and the really stiff suspension.
