general problems of the 2011 Hyundai Elantra - part 2

The steering coupler started making noises at about 80, 000 miles but I did not know what it was at the time . When I brought the car in at over 100,000 miles, I was informed of the loose couplet, to cost about &400 to fix andit wasn’t covered, because over the 100, 000. I did not have it fixed at that time. (I believe mileage was about 110, 00 at that point). I never received any info on this issue, and feel it should have been covered and that Hyundai should still cover it. There is approximately 128, 000 miles now.

To whom it may concern: it grieves me to escalate this concern to the national highway safety administration. I have attempted to seek resolution with Hyundai, but the corporate office is unresponsive and ignorant to the safety concern. The problem lies in the defect of the power steering coupler on Hyundai Elantra models that affects tires, steering, balancing, alignment. The manufacturer is aware of the defect and has either repaired or reimbursed owners of Hyundai Elantra for the defect up to 100,000 miles or 120,000 miles with extended warranty. I purchased the Elantra at 89,000 miles and inquired about a noise in the car. The dealer ignored it, and the carfax did not have any mention of the defect. After two sets of tires, 3 alignments, and additional repair, I began to wonder after, several tires blew during my drive after loading on the groceries! how can the tires with 50% life left--all of them--blow on the road? there is nothing mentioned in the manual? sadly, during my several visits to Hyundai dealerships (both in tampa and orlando), nobody at the dealer mentioned once about this issue?! finally, the local mechanic where I replaced the tires indicated about the coupler issue. I reached out to Hyundai's corporate office and was informed to repair and will be reimbursed. Well, I repaired the issue upon discovery at 122,800 miles, but Hyundai is refusing to reimburse for the defect of their issue. I wrestle to understand how this is not a safety issue when the tires blow up on the road, several sets of tires must be replaced with alignment and additional repair? I wrestle to grasp that Hyundai does not inform buyers in any way of the issue, and the dealers are silent on the issue. How is it possible? after hours of spending time on this issue, all that I would like is the reimbursement of $340 I paid to fix the defect of the car. This is not my fault!.

�takata recall� (1) suspension problem. . It drifts or bounces to one side when I hit a bump or when I go into a pothole. . . I have had to take it to different auto mechanics to fix this but haven't gotten any solution. . Changed sway bar links, tie-rods, struts and ball joints, still no improvement. (2) steering issues - steering feels stiff when turning and sometimes makes funny sounds (3) clunking noise in front right side of car.

While driving the car one or more of the brakes get active without using the brakes . Abs start kicking and the car loose power . If I hate the brake the brake parks get really sensitive and the car start shaking . Happened too many times and I took the car to the dealer for diagnostic and they said they couldn't fined any problems . From my experience this is a use sensor problem and I spoke with Honda of America and they said my car and my VIN # has no recall .

While driving and applying pressure to steering wheel, the steering wheel makes a clicking noise and attempts to make steering corrections, possibly due ot the electronic power steering. Manufacturer says it's not a safety issue, but makes driving a hazard.

I started the car and could not turn the steering wheel without applying heavy force. Looking at the dash board the esc and eps lights were both on. I turned of the car and restarted and the problem was gone. A few days ago I saw the recall of the 2009 and 2010 cars regarding this very problem. I called Hyundai customer support to report my issue but was told my 2011 car was not on the recall list. Upon further research I have found this very issue appearing in Elantra cars as resent as 2014. I ask the safety board to reexamine the issue in regards to later year of the Elantra cars.

I haven't had any accidents but I had many almost accidents. It is very dangerous and scary. I can't even go over a bump or look to the left or right because it steers off so bad. I have to hold it very tight the whole time. I'm scared for my life as well as whoever is with me. Hyundai dealership just says its because its electric steering but I think they just dont want to deal with it. I hope there is something done soon.

I was traveling to memphis, TN. The rear end of the car would constantly jerk out tot the left when I would hit bumps. I have taken it to the dealer several times, and was told this was a normal reaction for this kind of suspension. The problem has been constant, and during the winter, it tried to spin out of control. On several occasions I have almost lost control, and it is scary because I never know if or when it's gonna crash. I have read several other people having the same problem, including those who have had an accident. This will eventually kill someone unless something is done to fix the problem.

The steering wheel and car briefy moves comes out of alignment each time I drive over any size pothole or at random times. This has happened since I bought it arround July of 2013.

I was driving my Elantra when the ems elec. Stability control light came on and the auto began to shake as I was driving. The road was dry and weather was regular. It feels as if the auto is driving on flat wheels or on ice. I lose stability in my steering. I have taken my auto to Hyundai twice. They claim they there computers can't find any errors. This is an issue that randomly occur and can't be created at will. I don't feel safe driving while these incidents happen. I've found similar complaints of this issue online with other Elantra 2011 customer. Hyundai doesn't want't to acknowledge that there is an issue with the electronic stability control and steering.

When vehicle is at any speed, the steering just off of center is a really quick jerk. Driving straight is no problem at all, but as soon as any correction is made right or left at any speed, the car quickly jerks. On icy roads, it is very difficult to control, and extremely tiring even on dry straight roads. The car is very quiet to drive and gets great mileage, but is a little scary at times. I feel there is a design error that needs to be remedied. This will kill people. . .

The steering has a sticky spot in it which you have to pull to get out of which makes you swerve the car to do so. It pulls to the right or the left. It makes it really hard to stay on the road. It "road walks" badly. I have seen many complaints for this year model. I believe it is the vsm on the vehicle. I believe it is very dangerous I am going to end up in a wreck trying to hold the car on the road.

Drove the new Elantra for the first time in snow and it was hard to control. Tried not to drive it that winter and thought would buy snow tires the next winter. That summer during rainstorm the Elantra handled poorly. Discovered passenger rear tire was bald. Dealer checked and alignment was within factory specs. ???? helpful Hyundai mechanic agreed something was wrong and shimmed rearend for better alignment. Company paid for two tires. Now it handles great. Wonder how many accidents happened in cars with similar problem. Couldnt believe how hard it was to control on a road with slight snow coverage. Dealer saw other cars with similar problems. 2.
