1 Clutch Pedal/linkage problem of the 2018 Hyundai Elantra

Failure Date: 03/15/2019

I have a 2018 Hyundai Elantra having problems with my transmission. When in traffic or taking off from a stop the car shudders like a manual transmission car when you don't give it enough gas. Also the car does not want to move sometimes when you depress the gas pedal followed by sudden acceleration the car is equipped with a dual-clutch transmission which I am familiar but these are not normal characteristics of a dual-clutch transmission.

2 Clutch Pedal/linkage problem of the 2012 Hyundai Elantra

Failure Date: 10/28/2013

I purchased this car in June 2011 and there have been three separate times that my car will not start. The first time was a few months after I first purchased my car. I went to start my car in the morning and it would not cut on. After letting it sit for the day I tried it and it turned on with no problems. The second incident happened September 2013. I went to start my car in the morning. It would crank but not turn over. I let is sit for about 3 days and everyday I would try it and it still would not start. I finally had it towed to a Hyundai dealer near me and they ran tests and everything came back fine and was told the car started for them with no problem and I probably didn't push in on the clutch all the way. Even though the tow truck driver also tried it and would not start for him too. The most recent incident the same issue happened. Car would crank and not turn over. I did some research online and saw from another Hyundai owner that they had to pump their gas pedal to get their car to start. Once I tried that the car started after a few minutes. This time I drove it to the Hyundai dealer where I purchased the car and once again all tests came back fine and they cannot find a problem.

4 Clutch Pedal/linkage problem of the 2002 Hyundai Elantra

Failure Date: 01/08/2009

Clutch failure I purchased the car new and at 42,196 miles the clutch went out, dealer claims normal wear. The car now has 73,026 miles and again the clutch needed replaced. This started when the replaced clutch had less then 29,000 miles on it. Again they claim normal wear. The clutch pedal has no pressure when engaged and there is no adjustment. Customer service or dealer will do nothing and I had to pay for another clutch. If you look at the list of complaints on this problem it has to be a defective clutch or transmission. I had over 130,000 miles on my other car with no problem. I also taught driving and know how to operate a clutch. Thank you.

5 Clutch Pedal/linkage problem of the 2008 Hyundai Elantra

Failure Date: 10/30/2008

The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Elantra. While driving 65 mph with the cruise control activated, the vehicle began to jump when the cruise control was deactivated. The contact did not apply any pressure to the brake pedal. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road and the contact shut it off. The vehicle was able to be restarted, but when he released the clutch to place the vehicle in first gear, it would stall. After a few attempts to release the clutch to shift into first gear, the contact applied pressure to the brake pedal and the vehicle moved forward. The manufacturer advised him to take the vehicle to a local dealer. The vehicle was driven to the dealer and they stated that the abs module needed to be reset and indicated low voltage. The VIN was unavailable. The current mileage was 22,000 and failure mileage was 19,000.
