The contact called on behalf of their son who owns a 2020 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while their son was decelerating, speed was unknown, and coming to a stop sign. The next thing their son was able to recall was that the vehicle had suddenly turned right crashing into an electrical pole nearby. The air bags deployed. The driver had lost consciousness during the crash making it difficult to recall all that occurred. The vehicle was towed but they had not yet received any confirmation if the vehicle had been totaled. The electrical pole had fallen and began to catch fire. The fire department had put out the fire. The contact was not completely sure of the damage done to the vehicle. The driver lost consciousness and received an injury on their right arm. Medical attention was needed. The contact could only assume a police report had been filed but had not heard from the police department to confirm. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
Good morning, I was hearing a rubbing noise every time I turned my steering wheel on my 3020 Hyundai Elantra. I did some research and found a Hyundai service bulletin explaining the worm gear shaft. I brought it to my local Hyundai dealership in manchester new hampshire. They confirmed that it was indeed the worm gear shaft. They replaced it and charged me but when I called the Hyundai corporate office, they explained to me they would not be able to reimburse me even though it has happened on many of their Hyundai and other cars. I am requesting help for this unfortunate situation. The cost of replacement was over $500. Why is the worm gear shaft problem not a recall as of yet? if I would not have had this fixed, it would have caused other problems in the steering. Ty.
There has been a noise coming from my steering column. Its sounds a like rubbing or whirring noise. It only happens at low or stationary speeds. I took the vehicle to a local shop in my area. They diagnosed the problem as the worm shaft assembly ( located inside the steering column). If steering fails while driving, it can a crash and lead to significant injury. While my steering has not failed or led to any accidents, its very possible and a real risk.
Tens of thousands of Hyundai's and kia's are being stolen in under 2 minutes due to a design flaw Hyundai and kia engineers failed to address. With a quick removal of steering column cover and a usb male end, thieves can steal your vehicle. This puts the public and law enforcement at risk as these thieves flee from police at high rates of speed and use these stolen kia's and Hyundai's to commit other crimes.
Noise coming from steering wheel column when turning wheel, especially at low speeds. After research, seems it is an issue that is common for these cars. If the electric steering fails during driving it can seriously injure the driver & passengers, it will cause wrecks to happen. My steering is starting to make the same noise people explain it creates before it goes out.
Hello, I have a 2020 Hyundai Elantra 5npd84lf6lh525671 VIN. the car has a major problem with the steering and suspension at speeds over 45 mph. I am talking with myra at this time after dialing 1-800-633-5151 at Hyundai cust care (case #19086362). she told me she is on the west side location. I asked where is that and she stated she is unable to let me know where. the car does not hold the road and the suspension and steering is not working well at speeds of 45mph or faster. this is a very dangerous situation and this year and model of Hyundai should be examined before someone loses control because of a defect made at Hyundai. myra stated she does not have a recall for this problem and I am at a complete loss for what to do. she stated an appointment is not easily made until Dec 31st because of staffing issues. I looked online and also found other comments with this same exact issue so I know it is a major problem that needs to be addressed. please let me know what I should do before a tragic accident happens with this and other 2020 Elantra vehicles. thank you in advance.
I was in the inside left turn lane turning left and as I was turning my steering wheel my car was not turning, it was continuing to go straight. I hit my brakes so I wouldn’t crash into the car turning next to me and then my wheels finally turned as I was braking so it caused me to burn the tires and swerve. I’m not sure if any lights came on as I was trying not to crash into the vehicle next to me. I have an appointment for the dealership to look at it.
Purchased used from carvana. Steering pulls to right and left, unexpectedly and sporadically. Noticeable by both drivers, independently. Also, noticeable from passenger seat and not by driver alone. Suspected lower ball joint issue which could result in sudden loss of control, crash, and death. If this work was done, perhaps defective "repair"? carvana advised this is a death trap (my words). Have been trying to return vehicle since Monday 8/23. Driving to the 'vending machine' to hand back over their vehicle, uninvited yet announced, on 8/27 a. M. In las vegas. This issue occurs at low, medium, and highway speeds without any apparent cause, except perhaps dips and uneven road surfaces. Perhaps the mismatched set of front/back tires?.
I rented a 2020 Hyundai Elantra from pittsburgh PA to rockville MD. It was raining. Because the steering wheel was sensitive compared to other cars I had driven, I turned on the car's lane keeping assistance, which tightened the steering wheel a bit and made an alarm sound and steered back by itself when the car got close to a lane line. I drove under the speed limit and exercised all caution necessary on a raining day. On highway 70 east close to hagerstown MD, I noticed the car deviate towards the left on a curve. Lane keeping assist did not alarm. To prevent it from hitting the left divider, I tried to steer back to the right but the steering wheel was locked up. I pressed the brake pedal, but the car did not slow down. The car suddenly slid to the far right, left the highway pavement, rolled over on the lawn. All of the front and side airbags on the driver’s seat and CO-driver’s seat popped out. Smoke was everywhere. I got bruises on my knees and legs, and cuts in left hand and arm. The mileage was 43316 according to the rental company after the incident. I purchased the damage waiver so the rental company did not charge me or provide a report.
At approximately 16,000 � 17,000 miles the car started having technical and electrical issues. There seemed to be an issue with the regular headlights and high beam setting. On the passenger side of the car, the glove box light, the overhead reading light, and the charging port for car adapters all stopped working. Shortly after those things went out in the vehicle, we were in an accident. We were driving from missouri to California and while driving on a 2 lane highway through kansas, the car unexplainably jolted to the left into the opposite direction lane of travel. I was going around 65 mph when this happened. It seemed the car then accelerated on its own with the rpms going to the red. The steering wheel locked up after the car had jerked over. The steering wheel wouldn't budge. Another vehicle was coming right at us. I was trying to get the car to go any direction but the steering wheel was locked. So we had a head on collision. The 2 other occupants in the car did not make it, I was the only survivor. These cars have electric steering. The car was having electrical issues, I did not know about the type of steering it had. I am wondering if anyone else has had any of the same experiences/problems?.
At around 4,000 the miles the vehicle became increasingly difficult to steer with the steering wheel remaining very stiff at all speeds. I do not feel confident in the handling or safe maneuvering of this vehicle. Sought help at dealership through warranty but they were unable to diagnose the issue. I am continuing to purse help on this matter.
First the car was in the shop for a week having the steering fixed. A week later and steering is broken again. Steering wheel does not stay in place. Makes it for a fun drive on the freeway. I hope I get into an accident because of this because then Hyundai might listen to my concerns.
The car had many small problems to begin with. The steering wheel never sat straight and there were many lights for low tire pressure even though the pressure was fine. The transmission also broke 3 months after purchasing. I noticed the car started to shake and handle became very hard to control. Suddenly the rpm went all the way 8 on the highway. The car started to shake violently and I had to pull over to the side of the interstate. This was a near miss accident. If I had driven a little further where there was a merge in the highway, I would have definitely lost my life. When I called Hyundai customer support, they also informed me that other Hyundai Elantra's were also experiencing transmission problems and they predicted a recall in the near future.
While driving the car at the speed range of 40-70 mph the steering wheel undergoes abrupt stiffness change from stiff to very soft causing sudden jolt of the vehicle right or left depending on the road condition. This happens all the time at this speed range. Lost control resulting in almost crashing into a divide barrier. Driving requires maintaining the steering wheel in strong grip at all time and a lot of experience to avoid loss of control.
I was sold to me new I took it in for an inspection in the first week of ownership and the tech slipped me a notice of a accident and repair completed at 0-5 miles of its life I purchased at only 6 miles they keep telling me I'm lying. Incident date 9/1/19 repair date 2/10/20 completed repair 2/11/20 date I purchased 2/12/20 I took it in because lka keep moving the wheel right left over n over, over correcting itself I believe. Very scary when on the freeway in traffic in downtown los angeles. I do not know anything detail of this repair or incident I was only given this paper after purchase they didn't disclose it before purchase. When I look up the VIN it never comes up with my cars model either.
My car sold to me with out it being disclosed that it was crashed now my lka will kill you if used and the fender is obviously repainted my steering is weird and it was supposed to be new purchased at 6 miles crash reported at 0 repair completed 2/10 my purchase 2/11.
When I pulled out of my drive way at about 5 mph and began increasing speed (10-15 mph), I felt like my front tires may have needed air. I checked my dash and confirmed that all the sensors for tire pressure were on and working and the air pressure seemed to be fine. I began to increase speed and by this time was traveling east bound at aprox. 55 mph on the hwy, when the front left tire suddenly felt loose. I wasn't sure if it was my tire or the road itself but before I could even switch lanes my tire seemed to jerk me over to the left side of the road. My back tire fell off the ledge of the hwy and caused me to pull the wheel to try to correct the imbalance but I didn't have enough time before the steering wheel was wandering off toward the left causing me to smash head on into a tree into the center divider.
