2024 Hyundai Elantra

NOVEMBER 2023: PURCHASE VEHICLE. SEPTEMBER 2, 2024: DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 50-55MPH IN RIGHT LANE. NO ONE/NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME. CLEAR DAY. VEHICLE COLLISION ALERT STARTS BEEPING, VEHICLE ABRUPTLY BRAKES AND STEERS ITSELF INTO THE LEFT LANE. I FEARED FOR MY LIFE AND ALSO FOR THE PERSON WHO WAS BEHIND ME. SEPTEMBER 16-17, 2024: DROP OFF VEHICLE AT DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE. NOTFD SERVICE ADVISOR OF SEP 2 INCIDENT, REQUESTED INVESTIGATION. WAS TOLD I'D HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND THEY WOULD LIKELY NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I WAS ALSO TOLD IN SUMMARY: "NOTHING SEEMED WRONG, INCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN A GLITCH, WE CAN TALK ABOUT TURNING OFF THE ENTIRE SAFETY FEATURE." -- I FELT COMPLETELY DISMISSED. SINCE EARLY 2024 (SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING): • VEHICLE RANDOMLY DISABLES ALL SAFETY FEATURES WHILE I AM DRIVING. YELLOW ICONS APPEAR ON MY DASH, AND DINGING NOISES KEEP ALERTING. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY! I SHOWED PHOTOS AND VIDEOS TO A SECOND DEALERSHIP, AND SENT THEM TO HYUNDAI CORPORATE (DEC 2024). NO ONE HAS MADE ANY RESOLUTION FOR THIS. • NOTICING MOISTURE BUILD-UP IN WINDOW CREVICES. REAR WINDOWS HAVE ROLLED DOWN WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2024: • VEHICLE MAKING HIGH PITCH WHISTLING NOISE. PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AS CRACKED HEATER CONSOLE. SEALED/REPAIRED TWICE, IN TWO DIFFERENT SPOTS. WHY WOULDN'T THEY JUST REPLACE IT?! • HORN NOT WORKING. I WAS UNAWARE UNTIL DEALERSHIP TESTED IT. • REAR DOORS BARELY OPENING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. PEOPLE NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT (AND IN). BROUGHT VEHICLE IN, WAS TOLD THEY "LUBED IT UP", YET THE DOORS ARE NOT OPENING FULLY AGAIN AS OF DECEMBER 2024-JANUARY 2025. DECEMBER 2024: • CONTACTED CORPORATE TO FILE COMPLAINT. SINCE I FILED IN DECEMBER 2024, WHICH IS 13 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE, I WAS TOLD I DON'T QUALIFY FOR ILLINOIS LEMON LAW BUYBACK OPTION. ONE MONTH TOO LATE?! DANGEROUS AND ANNOYING PROBLEMS, AND I'M STUCK DEALING WITH THIS? MY VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP!

I had my oil changed in September at McGovern Hyundai in Leominster, MA. I have the invoice on file and my app that I have with them. I went out of town on [XXX]. At approximately [XXX], I heard a loud pop, saw smoke and immediately pulled over, a large amount of oil came out of the bottom of my car. The car was undrivable and I had to have it towed to the closest Hyundai dealership in North Plainfield, NJ. They provided me with a write up that stated I need a new engine due to the damage. We called McGovern and they are claiming that is isn't their issue and to contact my insurance company or cooperate. The cost right now is over $11,000, $300 for a tow, $200 for an uber driver to my destination where I was going, $223.86 for a diagnostic test, $350 car rental for my parents to come and get me, approximately $100 in gas fees to get me and my dad lost a day of pay. This all happened just a little over 1,000 miles and there is only 14,421 miles on the car. The dealership I bought it from isn't taking responsibility for it and Hyundai has yet to. This happened on a major highway on NJ and I was left on the side of the highway alone for over 2 hours waiting for a tow. This was such a scary and dangerous position to be in. This seems to be an issue with Hyundai cars and they aren't helping. I am now without a car and no one seems to care.

I was driving around 34 miles per hour in traffic and my speedometer turned red indicating a problem. I attempted to accelerate in traffic and it made a funny noise and would not speed up. I was able to drive home which was about a mile away. Once I got home I turned the vehicle off and back on and the speedometer was blue again. I took it to the dealer and they advise they could not locate the problem , They put it on a level 3 scope and drove it a lot. Since then it happened as I left home and I stopped the vehicle and started it again which solved the problem. The car has around 3100 miles.I was not at risk because I was in slow traffic and could run about 30 mph during the first event.

My 2024 Hyundai Elantra limited horn stopped working, almost causing someone to hit me. The car only has 4,000 miles on it. I am extremely lucky I did not get in an accident because of this. Extremely dangerous issue and soon further research its a very common problem with some newer Hyundais. There needs to be a recall before some actually gets hurt!

The car was giving me an issue with the Forward Radar blocked which was coming and going as if the radar was loose. This issue persisted for a week and the error was still coming and going after every 10-15miles of drive. Later after a week the error was constant screen and the radar is still intact to the car. Error on the screen: ######Forward Safety system disabled. RADAR BLOCKED.#####

Roughly over a couple weeks, I noticed when pressing on the horn it was NOT responsive when pressing the horn section of the steering wheel, so I took it over to Napleton Hyundai dealership, to take a look at the issue base on what they said, they would have to ordered the part however, it’s on back ordered and would call when it arrives, my issues if the horn is of a safety issue, won’t it be a better quicker response to get the part than get it fix? How many other drivers are having the same issue?

Vehicle shut off 8 times on my wife while driving. Check engine light did come on with a warning from the vehicle stating a possible issue with our Engine Control System. Shortly after, while ON the roadway, at about 35-40 mph, the car completely shut off. Luckily my wife was going to a church and the church men were able to push her car safely, with our kids inside, off the roadway and into the parking lot. Hyundai Roadside Assistance was contacted and vehicle was towed to Matt Bowers Hyundai in Gulfport, MS on June 5th. During a 12 day stint at the dealership, it was determined that the problem was caused by the open safety campaign (Bulletin 206) and the EGR Valve Assembly was replaced. We took back delivery of the vehicle June 18th, 13 days after the tow/problem.
