general problems of the 2011 Hyundai Elantra

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated while driving 40 mph, a fellow motorist alerted the contact that the vehicle was smoking. The contact pulled over and waited for an extensive period before restarting the vehicle. The contact was able to drive to the destination while driving at a slow speed. The contact stated that the abs warning light was illuminated on the instrument panel since owning the vehicle. The contact also stated that the vehicle stalled upon depression of the accelerator pedal while driving at various speeds. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and the contact was informed that the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 23v651000 (service brakes, hydraulic); however, the recall was not serviced due to poor customer service. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was not available.

The vehicle experience rod knock with 57,000 and vehicle has erratic transmission shifting. The dealer explained they would cover 60 percent but my cost is still 4,000. 00 for which the vehicle is only worth 6,000 on trade. Plus $600 to fix transmission problem. Requested picture from dealer but only sent pictures of metal shavings in oil pan and valve cover.

Car jerks into reverse hard. When going down road car loses power. Just acts like its not going anywhere. Very low miles onvthis car.

Car will lose power while driving, on occasion it can be jumped / restarted, but it will suddenly lose power again. Have towed it 6 times in 5 months. Now I'm looking for an entirely new engine. Side note: you can't put the car in neutral to tow it if there is no power, so you have to hope jumper cables will get it enough power to put the car in neutral. No manual steering either, so we had to use a tow truck several times since you couldn't turn corners manually at all the steering wheel just locks, even with the key in the ignition.

The car will not start despite the battery being charged and no apparent issues with the vehicle which left me stranded. The vehicle only has 40,000 miles on it. This appears to be a range switch issue. I do have a drivetrain warranty; this should be covered; however, this should not be happening with as many complaints that have been reported. This should be a recall!.

My car won't start when turning the key it would make a click noise but won't turn on unless you try several times and sometimes it would take a hour or more to do so. Two years ago changed the battery thinking it was that but after all the dealer said it was the starter so it got changed. Three years since then now I am having the same problem. Took it to the mechanic and the car looks fine everything was diagnosed and seems ok so decided to leave it overnight so they can test it next day. Once they did the car didn't want to turn on so they boosted it and said it was the battery. After changing the battery three days later the car still giving me the same problem sometimes it won't turn on. Next step will be change the starter again but mechanics can't find the real problem because once the car desides to turn on there is no problem but it is a struggle not knowing when and where this will happen, it is very unsafe.

After getting on the on-ramp on the highway I shifted my manual transmission from 4th to 5th gear to accelerate to 50 mph but the gear didn't shift to 5th and the engine was inadvertently revved up to 4 on the tachometer without any increase in speed; it felt as if I stepped down on the gas pedal while in neutral. I drove the next 25 miles home in 4th gear at 45 to 50 mph.

Intermittent issue with starting the vehicle (2011 Hyundai Elantra) , mostly after overnight parking, generally from a parked, non start position. When you turn the key, a single click. You may try a second or sixth time, and the vehicle will start and run normally. It may be fine for a day or two, then have problems again even several times throughout the day. Shifting into reverse or neutral, then back into park seems to help, but only that time. After initial problem ten months ago, car was taken to dealer for testing. It was found the prior owner had replaced the starter (so was relatively new and may be proof prior own experienced same issue), battery has been replaced. Everything tested normally and issue could not be recreated at dealership. Two weeks ago, the issue began again, happening quite frequently. It is winter season again, which is a dangerous condition to not have your vehicle start, and it has caused owner to be late for work and be temporarily stranded. We have researched the issue to be related to a technical service bulletin (no. 15-at-001) stating a range sensor switch may be the cause of this issue. Vehicle will be brought in again to dealer, hoping this issue can be recreated, or they will not repair. In fact, at the first visit they acted as if they never heard of this issue. We have records from first visit and will the next for our records. A recall should be issued for all affected vehicles in this service bulletin.

But soon after the check engine illuminated plugged I'm my diagnostic tool . . Po711. . Trans fluid sensor. . .

While driving my vehicle on the freeway traveling at speeds of about 60 mph, my tire pressure light came on, although all 4 tires were previously checked for pressure. When the tire pressure light came on, it triggered the traction control light to begin blinking uncontrollably. The engine then began to clicked loudly as my speed decreased, out of my control, to about 40 mph, although I had my petal to the floor. I then had to exit, taking local roadways as to my speed would not increase past 40 mph with my rpm was at about 4. 5. After notifying the dealership and taking it in to be serviced, I was informed nothing was wrong but reset the computer just in case. Since then it has happened 3 other times with no explanation and diagnostic coming back clear.

On March 07, 2014, my Hyundai Elantra was hit on the passenger side by a large Jeep. We took our 17 year old grandson to the hospital to be checked out because of a headache but other than that there were no injuries. My vehicle was taken to a repair shop and now to a Hyundai dealership. My concern is; there have been two (2) front axles put in my car and neither worked. The dealership said they were defective. They ordered a third (3) one and it was defective. They did not install it. Now they have ordered the fourth (4) axle to install, if it isn't defective. In the meantime I have been without a vehicle for almost 3 months. I do not trust luck for another defective front axle.

My Hyundai Elantra has had several issues since purchasing it March 09, 2013. Chief complaints are my vehicle will not start. Took it to dealership and they informed me to pop off the shift lock button on gear shaft and my car started. Took it to the dealer for further evaluation and was informed it was a relay switch, which was not covered under my warranty. Paid $260. 00 to have this part fixed and my car still has problems starting. I have been stranded several times and unable to start my vehicle. Second complaint is my car is not getting the gas mileage it is supposed to. Spoke to the dealership about this issue as well. They informed me to only use shell gasoline. I still do not receive the gas mileage I was promised upon purchasing this vehicle. I did some research and have found that I am not the only person that has encountered either one of these issues.
