Cruise Control problems of the 2013 Hyundai Elantra

I am not sure if this is related to takata recall. But the electronics controlling the air bag and cruise control are not functioning! the poor design of the steering covers squeeze the wires that are bent into the connector causing these circuits not to function. At this point, the red light for the air-bag is on all the time which means the it will not deploy causing serious damage. This steering cover design is common on all Elantra models so we suspect the problem could impact significant number of cars. I managed to test the problem, but pulling the cover off and testing the wires. When the cover is pull away from the body of the steering, the circuit for the cruise control works! Hyundai should re-locate the plug where these wires are connected further lower to avoid these wires getting squeezed. And for the current models, a shorter connector could remedy this problem by preventing the wires from getting squeezed.

Cruise control switches do not function properly on this 2013 Elantra gt. The "set" button dose not engage or activate cruise control. It "cancels it. However, pressing the cancel' button does not dis-engage or stop the cruise control it actually activates it. This is extremely dangerous.

2013 Hyundai Elantra on December 24, 2013, the vehicle was being operated on a road with a 35 mph speed limit. Without any deviation of the accelerator pedal, the vehicle jumped to 60 mph. While at the subsequent stop light, the vehicle's rpm's remained high (approximately over 5,500 rpm). The Elantra was then driven to a home depot parking lot. Upon restarting the vehicle, rpm's climbed to 5,000 (while in "park"). No other modules were being used at this time - including cruise control or "eco boost. " the vehicle's rpm rate remained at around 2,500-3,000 once put into "drive", resulting in the speed reaching approximately 20-25 mph. This is without the foot on the accelerator and traveling over small hills and grade variants. Summary: while 2013 Elantra is in park, rpm's rest at 5,000. While in drive, rpm''s bottom out at 2,500-3,000, disallowing the ability to naturally stop. This issue appears to reside in the accelerator pedal and the components located therein. This is to be confirmed at a Hyundai service center.
