Random no start. Push button start will just make one click sound and not start (this is not a low battery clicking sound). After numerous attempts, the engine will start. One time it took over 10 minutes of pushing the start button on and off to finally get it to start. It seems to happen at random times. It will start fine for months and then just randomly not start. It happened in the past an just started happening again about a week ago.

2012 Hyundai Elantra. While attempting to start the vehicle, it failed to start without warning. The vehicle had to be placed in neutral in order to start it. According with numerous reviews there is something wrong with the inhibitor switch (range switch).

My Elantra limited 2012 unlock my doors or start the car unless I put the key up to the start button. I don't havean ignition my car only starts with a push button,both key fabs won't work, I've researched and alot if customer have the same complaint this happens multiple times someone mentioned the had range shaft or something replace and it works but many people are complaining about the same problem.

Cranks but does not start. Battery is fine, car only has 28000 miles on it.

My car accelerate on its own without me pressing on the gas randomly. Some days it drives normally and other days I can feel the car accelerating on its own. It was so bad 2 days ago that when I got off the highway it was trying to accelerate into the car in front of me at a red light. I had by foot on the brake and the car was revving to 5000 rpms. I took it to Hyundai who could not find a problem but charged me $250 to clean the throttle body.

2012 Hyundai Elantra randomly will not start. We replaced the neutral safety switch and about two weeks later it did it again. Does not seem to be affected by weather. It has been towed to the dealer twice, but since it starts when it is there, they say they can't replicate the problem and therefore can't fix the problem. I would say in the year and a half that I have had the car it has stranded me 4 times and not on the first turn over another 15. I usually turn the key to the off position and try again. After a couple tries it usually starts.

Car was parked and when trying to turn it on it won't start and gives me error "battery discharge" it has happened four times this week. Today car had a bad/burned odor coming from the engine.

Car is parked and when trying to turn on it won't start. Happened four times this week and today it had a bad/burning odor coming from the engine. Looks like a fuse went out.

The vehicle will not turn on when pushing the push start. This keeps happening this is not safe. This needs to be recalled, my safety could be in jeopardy.

Failure to start; car does not recognize that the car is in park and it prevents the car from starting, even though it is in park. Car cannot be taken out of park or put back in sometimes after it is started and idling. Happens intermittently, very frustrating. Have bypassed the situation by taking the samll clip from the center console off, then depressing transmission engager and moving the gear shift into reverse and then back into park. The vehicle will then start. After all the complaints I have seen for this very same situation, I cannot believe there has not been a recall Hyundai?.

My car has been having issues with starting. The problem isn't all the time. I'm not sure what the trigger is, but one or twice a week, it won't start. I thought it was the battery, but it's not. I changed it and still giving me issues. I read online and found that it might be the range switch because people that has this issue had their range switch replaced and no more issue. Before they replaced the range switch, they recommended to put in "n" position before start, which I did and it worked for a while. Now, I have to put the e-brakes on before it cranks. The last couple of weeks, I have issues with locking my car. Neither the electronic push button on the door nor remote works. I had to manual lock it with the key. But this issue isn't all the time either. It only happened 6 times so far.

Failure to start. Car does not recognize that the car is in park and the inhibitor switch prevents the car from starting, even though it is in park. Car can not be taken out of park or put back in. Could present a potential safety hazard because someone could get stranded somewhere with no way to start car. I have seen numerous complaints about this issue online and actual youtube videos about the problem. I have real concerns about my daughter driving this relatively new car and then getting stranded somewhere.

Does not start all the time. The panel lights come on when you turn the ignition on but it will not start all the time. After 5to 20 minutes and moving the gear shifter it may start.

Left tail/brake light is malfunctioning. When the headlights are on, the tail light is on; however, that same light is also the brake light, and when the brake is applied, the light will not illuminate.

Periodically my car refuses to start. The battery is good, all lights on the dash are normal, headlights work, radio works, car is in parked position, yet when I turn the key it refuses to start. This is the second set of occurrences of the same issue. I experienced this issue last year (2014), at which time I had to take the car into service on more than three occasions before the figured it out. They eventually sorted out the issue in November of 2014. Now 6 months after, in may 2015, the same issue occurs only to find out that Hyundai will only warranty the part but not the labor costs. Today while at the dealership, there was at least one other Hyundai Elantra owner with the same issue. I'd hate that the car refuse to start in an emergency situation this is obviously something that Hyundai is aware of, yet refuse to take full responsibility and remedy the situation for myself and all other customers. I believe there should be a recall for this. I also have a second issue with this car, from the day of purchase. The car shakes at speeds between 40mph and 55mph. I have taken the car in on multiple occasions to two different Hyundai dealerships, yet they cannot figure out the issue. They have balanced the tires, aligned the wheels, rotated the tires, etc, yet none of their attempts have resulted in a solution. This issue make driving the car feel very unsafe, and very unpredictable in wet conditions.

Brake lights started to fail first right side rear then all failed including the third light.

Yesterday afternoon I got into my car to go to the store, and it wouldnt start. I continued to turn the key to on position, then back off and wouldnt start. Then tried again in then it finally started barely. Again I got into my car to go to work, and it wouldnt start again. I switched the key back off position and on again and still no start. Tried it again 2 more times to start and finally it started up. I had this issue about a year ago about a month after I purchased my vehicle and got it towed to dealership and they found nothing because it started right up for them. Please let me know what to do to get this issue from accuring.

I left home for a 1,000 mile road trip starting on the date specified above. Mileage indicated above is a close approximation to when the incident first occurred. On the first day, I stopped for gasoline at a station. When I tried to start the car back up, I had power to everything but my car made no attempt to start. After trying several times over the course of about 5-10 minutes, it finally started and ran fine. This happened five times over the course of the trip lasted 8 days. I have made an appointment at the dealership to look it over, again. I say "again" because I took the car in to the dealership less than 500 miles prior for what I believe to be a related issue. The automatic transmission shift lever would not leave the "drive" position when I stopped at one point and needed to get out of the car. I could not because I could not put it in "park", gear shift lever was stuck in "drive". Back to the "won't start" issue - wiggling the automatic transmission shift lever seems to have helped me start the car when it previously would not. Dealer said they could not find the cause of the stuck automatic transmission shift lever.

A few days before this incident, a warning indicator light appeared on my instrument panel. I made an appointment for that weekend to have it checked at a local dealership. As I was driving home from work, the first unusual thing that happened was the Hyundai logo appeared on the nav screen while the car was in motion. Typically the Hyundai logo only appears when the car is first started-never while vehicle is in motion. About 10 miles later, all of the power to the vehicle disappeared as I was driving about 65 mph in heavy traffic. When this happened, it felt as if I had been rear-ended in an accident. After determining that was not the case, I looked at the instrument panel to see all the warning lights illuminated. Now I'm trying to move to the side of the highway when the power was magically restored and the warning indicator light that had appeared a few days prior was now gone. I did not have an opportunity to pull to the side of the road, put the transmission in park and attempt to restart the vehicle. No, it restarted all by itself! I took it to two different dealerships who both assured me the car was fine and that what I described was impossible to occur. Trust me when I tell you that unless you've experienced losing all power to a vehicle while driving at 65 mph, yet here is not another feeling like it. I no longer felt safe in my own vehicle and made arrangements for it to be replaced. I would have felt much more comfortable had the dealership(s) found something that could have been repaired. Given that they could find nothing wrong left me very leery of the vehicle's electrical system. Also, the mpg gauge would reset itself; at idle, it frequently almost stalled; at night, the headlights would flicker at idle; the compass readout on the rear view mirror would also flicker at idle when the vehicle almost stalled---very bizarre behavior from a vehicle.

Whenever I try to turn on my car everything turns on except the engine. The lights and everything are fine. The battery tests fine. I have been to the dealer 3 times and they say nothing is wrong with it. It has not started approximately 15-20 times. Based on accounts from others with the same vehicle who have had this problem the engine has also stopped in the middle of driving. Thankfully the issue has only ever occurred when my car is parked, but I'd really rather not risk it happening on the road in rush hour traffic.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced issues starting sporadically. In addition, almost all the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel except the parking indicator. It took numerous attempts for the vehicle to start. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be replicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

Driver attempting to brake but the brake system failed and hit another car, also upon impact the airbags did not deployed to protect the driver considering how severely the front area of the car were damaged. 2 days prior to the accident, car was not starting, was jumped- start and vehicle was brought to Hyundai service and they did not see anything wrong.

Within the first year of owning my 2012 Elantra, I started having an issue with the car not starting. Dash would light up normally, and radio, etc worked fine, however the engine would not try to turn over at all or make any noise whatsoever. The problem is that the car is not sensing that the car is in park. The dash will normally display p (for park), however in these instances the dash is blank where the transmission position should be displayed. The shifter is also stuck in park so I can not move to any other gear. In order to resolve this issue, I have to use the shift overide and move the car out of park and then back into park. The dash will then display the p, and I can start the car normally. I have taken to the dealer on two occasions, and their computer diagnostics don't detect any problems. They said if they can't repeat the problem then they won't change out any components. This is frustrating because there is no way I can get it to the dealer when the problem is occurring.

Tl-the contact owns 2012 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 25 mph, the contact heard a loud grinding noise and the vehicle stalled and the electronic stability control warning light illuminated. The vehicle was coasted to the right and was able to be restarted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but it was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure recurred on several ocassions. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 33,000. Kr.

The odometer is completely unreadable. I know this sounds strange, the only time I can see it completely clear is in cold fall weather in the early morning. It has been this way for quite a while. It was not covered under warranty when I reported it to the dealer. We cannot afford to replace the cluster lighting that would fix it. This is in motion or stationary. We have no way of knowing how many miles we have on it until the weather is right for viewing. I know I have seen this issue on forums before. It should be a recalled part.

Car will periodically not start - all warning lights come on and there is a humming sound. Often occurs when wheel is on an angle. Car will typically not start 4-5 times in a row. Overhead lights work at the time of the failure. A few minutes later, after much jiggling of the steering wheel while turning on ignition, it starts fine. One time it started after emergency brake was released and the car rolled a bit. Brought to dealer who could not replicate problem but acknowledged this problem had occurred with other Elantras. Dealer was about to release car when driver demonstrated that gear shift would not move out of park. Dealer found code c1513 brake switch shorted. Brake switch was replaced. Dealer kept car a few days with no replications. 7 days later, starting problem reoccurred at driver's home and again after a day at work. In both cases, wheel was not in "12 o"clock" position. In conversation with dealer, we discussed that when the steering wheel is locked (not sure of definition), car should not start. He recommended jiggling the wheel while turning ignition. He also explained that the gear shift will only move out of park if 1) ignition is in on position and 2) foot is on the brake. Why is steering wheel locking so often?.

The vehicle has the same problems described in the 2011 recall with the brake switch. My cruise control sometimes does not work and 3 times has cut off on its own. It will not cut back on till vehicle is pulled over and stopped. I was told the problem could not be reproduced but its happening more frequently and im not satisfied with either cocoa beach or melbourne dealer. I have a recurring clutch pedal issue as well and do not trust their technicians any longer. I will just drive the car till it leaves me stranded or in a wreck. Westland Hyundai however has never had a repeat repair. Im not sure why their techs are so much more reliable. Wish I still lived in utah to have my issues resolved.

Several times a day when going to crank the car it would crank. Also you could not shift the car from park to drive. (throttle plate stuck).

Purchased car new Jun. 2012, car was not started for about three days tried to start car, would not start. I jump started car to get it to the shop, said water in battery low, about 1 month later, same thing, dealer kept car, replaced battery several times, unplugged wires, chased wires from front to back, dealer called twice, went to pick up car, would not start at dealer. Out of shop, kept about 3 weeks, same thing, dealer kept in shop for another 35 days, plus this time it had a big dent in left door, gas leak,part of heat sheild had not replaced, rust on the frame where battery acid was spilled, rust on engine and surrounding parts. Got out of shop, had it for 1 week, same thing not start, dealer called wrecker, hauled off, contacted me said would title it as a lemon. There was a recall on those size tires, matter of fact they were made in vn.

Car lurched, engine shut off. Car became uncontrollable and all the warning lights on the dash lit up. Eventually managed to get to side of road where the transmission locked into place. Electrical system was still functional but car was completely unresponsive. Occurred again 800 miles later after "repair" both incidents nearly caused accidents.

While driving the vehicle cut of completely. Electrical, engine, power steering, windows, everything was completely unresponsive and shutdown. I was forced to manually force the vehicle on the side of the road away from traffic/into safety. This is the second time this has happened in 2 weeks! the dealership stated that they had replaced the pcm/ecm. Once on the side of the road the vehicle was completely unresponsive and it was towed to the dealership again. This is completely inexcusable.
