Starting summer 2021, we began having an issue with the parking lights randomly coming on and off when the car is parked (engine off and car locked). The dealer could not duplicate the issue and therefore did not repair anything. The car went to college with our daughter and mostly sat parked and was rarely checked on. Now that she is home for the summer, we are again aware of the problem. The safety issue began on Saturday June 18, 2022 when the headlights spontaneously turned off while driving at night on a dark road. Twice! I am trying to work through the local dealer to remedy the issue; however, they say there is no known issue. In the meantime, I am reporting it here. My daughter was able to get the headlights to turn back on by turning the control knob until they came on. Other details: the headlight control is always in the auto position. The steering column has had two prior warranty repairs. The first time it was completely replaced. The second, they did some other repair that I am unsure of the details. Given the wiring goes through the steering column I can't help but wonder if it is somehow related. The dealer of course says it is not.

Driver's side headlight will not change from high beam to low beam. Oncoming traffic flash there high beams at me to warn me that my high beam is on making night travel impossible. I also can't drive through a city or I will get a citation for high beams on in city limits. The next issue I've noticed is the passenger side rear tire wears unusually fast.

Since I bought the car I noticed a lack of considerable light output coming from the front headlights. Turning on the brights is just worst as it lowers the line of sight instead of increasing it. The overall lights are dim. Changing the bulbs does nothing. This is especially dangerous at night as you can't see very well.

High beams headlights stopped working.

On October 28, 2020 I took my vehicle to joe holland Chevrolet in charleston, west virginia because my high beam headlights would not work. The technician told me that it was a faulty head light assembly and that I was at least the third person that day with this issue. The headlight assembly is on back order. Since the time change it is now dark by 5:00 pm and I don't get off work until 5:30 pm. I have had two deer strikes since November 1, 2020 to November 17, 2020, because I have no high beams my visual distance is greatly reduced. These two deer strikes have cost an estimated $8,000. 00.

The headlights on low beam have a black line across and only about 25 yard visibility, on high beam they are a very dull yellow and the visibility out is about 50 to 75 yards. The level of light is so low that you cannot see anything in the roadway. These lights are very dangerous. I have called the dealership parts and service and they told me that I could try changing the factory bulb.

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?.

The car sensors keep going up. The crank shaft sensor is not sending a signal that the car is in motion. When pull out on to a street or highway and press the accelerator sometimes my car will stall or drop speed. I fear someone will end up running into the back of me. When I come to a complete stop the car will stall or will not accelerate. Also the car headlights and tails tight bulbs blow within 4 or 5 days after putting new bulbs in. The cam sensor for the back up camera does not work as well.

While the car was sitting in the drive, the car was turned off all of the lights except the headlights and reverse lights turned on. The only way I could turn them off is if I turned the car on and back off. It has happened 3 times in the last 3 days. The first two times it happened was about 2 hours apart from each other. The second time the lights turned off on their own within 30 minutes. The third time I was at work and am not sure how long the lights were on but I walked out of work to them on.

Driver's side headlight routinely burns out. Mechanic says he has been seeing this with Elantras regularly.

This has happened about 6 times in the last two weeks.

When it went of it cause my head lights & my lights in the inside to blink off & on. Wen I got home I check my lights and notice the left signal bulb in the front was burned. I went to a auto place and replaced a new bulb. It last for @ least 4 months & it went again acting up. I change da bulb again after 4 months it starts again. I took it to a dealership the bulb was change then. I notice after serval months it starts acting up. I can't keep bringing it to the dealership or to a auto place to replace the bulb. Because it cost me I feel it is a safety hazard. Because everytime I use my left signal my headlights blinks off & on outside & inside of my car. I'm afraid I will be driving & when I'll use that left signal & nothing will come back on. The vehicles in front or back want see me or no what I'm doing. That's a big hazard to my life & others on the road also. My name is (xxxxx), when you will pull it up under the VIN# it's under my mother name (xxxxx) I (xxxx) am the driver of the car.

Two issues: (1) I purchased the vehicle on may 26, 2013. I found out that the gov. Had issued a recall for the Elantra models built from 11-12-2010 through 3-5-2013. My car was assembled on Feb, 22, 2013. I was never told about this at time of purchase and have never received any notification from Hyundai motor America. The dealers are not responsive. (2) the "auto-dimming rearview mirror with homelink & compass" rarely functions. Real problem is that mirror image and headlights are same intensity/ clarity whether unit is turned on or off--very dangerous at night. The dealer I purchased car from and another dealer refused to investigate.

I just bought the 2013 limited Hyundai Elantra over the easter weekend, on 3/31/13. Two days after buying it, I noticed the light in the dash showing whether the headlights were on or not was no longer working, but I put it up to the fact I was driving at dawn/dusk and they were probably not "on" even though the driving lights were on and showing as "on". However on 4/6/13 when driving at 10pm at night with the headlights most certianly "on" the indicator light still did not come on.

We have a 2007 Hyundai Elantra that is continuously burning up headlight bulbs. There are numerous complaints in regards to this, but Hyundai has yet to recall any vehicles. My husband is replacing at least 1 bulb month. Please investigate this. It is very dangerous when you're driving at night and the headlights go out. There is no moisture of any kind in the headlight nor has there even been.

Headlight burnt out on 2005 Hyundai Elantra. Took it to get fixed at a car repair store. Car repair store said wiring was melted to headlight, he had never seen anything like this before and felt it was a fire hazard. We had to take it to the dealer to fix the headlight. Service department at the dealer personally told me that there were burnt ends of wiring on the headlight as well as exposed wires. They told us that it is due to normal wear and tear and we had to pay $136. 05 to have it fixed. They replaced the bulb and new ends at the headlight connector. I saved the old bulb and wiring because I feel that this may have been a factory or manufacturers defect that could be potentially dangerous and if left unfixed cause a fire. I do not feel that consumers should have to pay to fix car parts that were not installed or designed correctly in the first place. Dealership said that it was 'weird' and they had no idea how it happened but refused to admit that it could have been a factory/manufacturer problem. I spoke with both the service dept. Manager and the dealership manager. The part was just recently replaced so we do not know if it will occur again.
