36 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/24/2018

Don't buy Hyundai car. I was so proud of being Hyundai car owner who have two Hyundai vehicles. However, I started to dislike Hyundai. The reason is the navigating system that I got into. It pointed wrong location while I am driving to go to golf course where I did not know how to get there. I got panic in the freeway. What if it was night time in the middle of freeway? what if I was driving for the very important meeting? I could stop on the rail road or the dangerous place. Even more I had to drive one hand because I had to use one hand holding the handphone with map app directing me to the place. I had to stop in the side road of freeway. It was so dangerous. 2015 year Elantra which is kind brand new. Dealer said no warranty, Hyundai America said no warranty or recall. I found many owners of Hyundai vehecle drivers having the same problem like me. However, there is no responsiblity from Hyundai. Just pay and fix in the dealer. They should cover this by recalling. It is very dangerous. It may be more dangerous than broken break. Don't buy Hyundai they are not responsible manufacturer. They should go out of u. S. A if they do not do anything for this problem. .

Failure Date: 01/01/2017

The pearl white paint on my 2015 hyndaui Elantra has been chipping continuously. In 2017 I had the car repainted and also in 2019 I had the car repainted. Now it’s 2023 and the car is chipping paint again. I was told my cars VIN number wasn’t apart of the known paint recall for this color. But clearly the 2015 pearl white Hyundai’s should be included. I see many white Hyundai’s with chipping paint. It’s ridiculous.

It is unknown to us what caused the fire but we feel it had to be something electrical.

I was in a car accident where I was moving at about 2-5mph turning left and struck directly on the driver side door, the vehicle that struck me was going about 40mph and was traveling straight on the road.

I also had a passenger in my vehicle who is also having on going medical issues.

The remote control on all Hyundai's will within a certain range will cause my trunk to open. Just the trunk.

45 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/03/2015

I purchased a 2015 Hyundai Elantra on November 26th, 2014. The car was brand new when I purchased it. On December 23rd I noticed that my break lights would not turn off after having parked and removed the key. I was unable to get the light to turn off, but I had a trip scheduled to visit family during the holidays. I was forced to leave the car at my house in its present state. When I reached my destination on December 24th I called Hyundai (lithia springs) to tell them about the issues and to ask them how they wanted to handle this issue. The service representative told me to bring the car in on January 3rd. When I returned to georgia I brought the car to Hyundai. While driving the vehicle I could smell a strong odor reminiscent of spoiled milk. When I arrived at the dealership they examined the car and initally told me that the issue was with the break clutch not depressing properly. After the technician replaced this part he returned to tell methat he was unable to correct the issue and that he suspected it to be an electrical issue. He requested that I leave the car with him so that it could be worked on and placed me in a loaner vehicle. I received a call today (January 6th, 2015) and was told that the issue had been isolated and that the car was not sealed properly and water had caused the electrical issues I was having. Mr. Donald lampkin told me that the car would need to have the windshield removed, carpet removed, dried, and resealed. I expressed my concern with this and let him know that I wanted the car replaced immediately, to which he did not reply. He told me that Hyundai manufacturing would most likely not replace my brand new vehicle and that all he could do was try to fix the issues. I am truly unhappy and want my money back or a brand new car. I havent even driven this car 1,000 miles and not only am I without a car.

The issue is related to air ventilation in the car if I set the options correctly to get outside fresh air with no a/c running, after some time I feel like I am inhaling engine exhaust.
