general problems of the 2013 Hyundai Elantra - part 1

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the brake hydraulic system failed due to a rusted and leaking brake line running from the front to the rear of the vehicle. The damaged brake line is still on the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? the brake line leak caused the brake pedal to go to the floor, significantly reducing or eliminating braking ability. This created a high risk of being unable to stop the vehicle, which could lead to a collision and put myself, passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers in danger. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? yes. The issue was confirmed by an independent service center (busse automotive) during a brake system evaluation. They traced the brake fluid leak to a rusted brake line section that needs replacement. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? no, the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. The only inspection so far has been by the independent repair shop. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? not that I know of.

After the recall at Hyundai, my car wouldn't run and there were many lights on the dashboard. It was later checked and the instability light problem persisted. They fixed on the same time, and say something problem with the update. They later informed me that I have a problem with the brake switch, and the brake lights don't work because of it. I replaced and doesn’t work, I went back to the store and they want me to pay a fee to have it analyzed again. Even though before the recall, the lights and the car were working perfectly.

Under carriage steel brake line rust through at support bracket and causing a loss of brake fluid and risk of stopping condition that raise a concern of an accident and protentional risk of injury to the owner/operator and other drivers on the road. This rust condition and due to road salt condition in state that use road salt and Hyundai clearly lacks undercoating protection. This issue has been seen by other 2013 Hyundai Elantra gt owner and been clearly documented in Hyundai discussion forums. The brake light did come on and I drive it to the first repair shop to fix the issue by replacing the rusted brake line. The repair shop noted the lack of manufactures undercoating of this product cause numerous rusting concern on the under carriage of this vehicle include steel brake line, steel fuel line and steel evp emission lines along with safety concern associated with each issue.

Hi I recently brought my car in for recall repairs involving the abs fuse and brake pedal stopper. Right after the service, my traction control light came on, and the car struggled to move forward. I took it to a mechanic who said the front brakes were locked. When I brought it back to your service center, I was told the hydraulic calipers were bad and that the brake pads and rotors were rubbing against each other. I was also told it’s just an "unfortunate coincidence. " however, since I had no brake issues before the recall work, I’m very concerned that something may have gone wrong during the service.

Brake failure. Corroded brake lines. There is a recall in canada for this model year for the same exact issue (https://recalls-rappels. Canada. Ca/en/alert-recall/transport-canada-recall-2023125-Hyundai). Why did NHTSA not force a recall for the same issue at least in cold-weather states?.

I have had a fire risk warning safety recall on my car for 1. 5 years and there is no remedy for it. This puts my safety at risk daily, as well as everyone around me.

Hyundai recall 251 happened in sept. 2023 and a remedy was not made available until summer 2024. This was a "park outside due to fire risk" recall and a completely unacceptable amount of time to put families in danger. Fast forward to when the remedy was available. I went to my dealer, alm Hyundai west, who completed the recall. A week later I checked the Hyundai website and the recall was not marked complete. Alm told me I needed to come back in so they could confirm it was done correctly and take pictures. I wasn't happy but I went back and they took their pictures. That was a month ago. My recall is still not marked as complete and alm is so disorganized, I am not sure if my car was actually fixed at this point.

I (finally) received a letter with instructions for what to do to make an appointment to get my car fixed so it doesn't catch on fire per recall 251, but I was unable to do so. I followed the instructions exactly. . Read more...

As the original and sole owner of this 2013 Hyundai Elantra, I was notified of campaign # 23v65100, by letter, from Hyundai. I set an appointment with suburban Hyundai, troy, mi after confirming with said dealership that needed part(s) were on hand. I arrived as scheduled on Monday, June 10, 2024 for needed repair. Service department examined vehicle and determined that my vehicle did need ordered repair: but stated they do not have the part(s). I inquired as a. Why they do not have the part when they knew fully well that that was what was needed to enact the repair. ;b. Why they did not tell customer, after taking one day off from work and driving 50 miles round trip. . . That they do not carry the parts they are mandated to replace. Suburban Hyundai stated that they would call me in 7-10 days when the part arrived, so I could get repair completed and, of course, take another day off from work, drive 50 miles, and fear my garage does not burn down as I have a contract with state farm insurance that I will park my vehicle in an enclosed garage each night for storage. Also, Hyundai and kia have a distinct reputation for vehicle theft, and leaving my vehicle parked on-the-street is a sure way to have a vehicle stolen! I then called elder Hyundai in macomb, mi, they stated that Hyundai does not yet have a solution to fix the abs fire and fuse issue and that a "parts kit", as I was told by sean, svc. Manager at suburban Hyundai, does not yet exist. I feel defrauded by Hyundai manufacturing and suburban Hyundai in particular. Do I need to park my vehicle at the grosse pointe woods, fire station? I called the Hyundai corporate number regarding recalls and could not, in any way, connect with a person or voicemail to leave a message a response: can this/will this repair be made and: why must I now face another day off from work and another 50 mile drive, to what effect?.

Traffic ahead of me rapidly decelerated. Upon applying the brakes, the peddle froze and then went to the floor without any resistance. I attempted to pump the brakes without success. I impacted the car ahead of me at 40 mph, the posted speed limit, creating substantial damage to both vehicles. The brakes failed to operate and the airbags failed to deploy upon impact. The vehicle failed to slow down and was reacting as if the accelerator was stuck. There were no system warnings at the time of the accident or afterwards. Braking abilities resumed immediately after impact. There is no visible evidence of any fluid leaks, brake fluid or otherwise. The vehicle was last serviced by the dealership for an oil change at the end of January 2024. A brake inspection was performed at that time. I was aware of a recall notice campaign 251 regarding the brake abs system. When I inquired at the last service date, I was informed no fix was available at that time. Current mileage is 49,779. I am still in the process of locating a repair shop.
