Hyundai Elantra electrical problems

TAKATA RECALL: WE HAVE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO GET INSPECTED DUE TO ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF AND HAVE HAD TO MAKE PAYMENTS ABOUT DIFFERENT FIXES THAT WOULD APPARENTLY HELP ONLY TO NOTICE NO CHANGE AND THE LIGHT WOULD COME BACK WITHIN DAYS OR WEEKS AND COME ON AND OFF . THERE IS A SUDDEN CHANGE IN THE WAY THE VEHICLE DRIVES AFTER THE LIGHT COMES ON, AND THEN GOES AWAY. THIS NORMALLY HAPPENED IN FREEWAYS.

I TRIED TO START MY 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA LIMITED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT DEPRESS AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START BUT MADE AN ELECTRONIC CLICKING NOISE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW BUT BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. IT HAS STRANDED ME AMD MY INFANT CHILDREN TWICE THIS PAST YEAR AND MYSELF TWICE. THE DEALER HAS MADE SUGGESTIONS BUT NONE WORK. LOOKED ONLINE AND HUNDREDS OF OTHER OWNERS OF ALL MODELS HAVING STARTING ISSUES. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHYISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED BUT I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TRADE MY CAR IN FOR NEW ONE AS I NEED RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION FOR MY CHILDREN. ALL INSTANCES OCCURRED AFTER VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN, PARKED AND STARTING ATTEMPTS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. IT MAY HAVE NOT RECIEVED MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS PAGE, HOWEVER, ONLINE BLOGS ARE FULL OF SAME ISSUE WITH AN LARGE AMOUNT OF HYUNDAI OWNERS.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK, I'VE HAD THEM REPLACED 3 TIMES. MY RPMS DO NOT WORK WHEN I PUSH THE GAS, THE VEHICLE WON'T GO MORE THAN 20 MPH, WHEN CHANGING MY GEARS, IT DOESN'T WORK, AND WHEN I AM AT A STOP LIGHT OR JUST SITTING IN A PARKING LOT WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING IT TURNS OFF ON IT'S OWN. WHEN I TRY TO START THE VEHICLE IT WON'T TURN MOST THE TIME.

THERE HAVE BEEN MANY BREAK INS SINCE 2014. I GOT THIS CAR 02/2014 AND SINCE 07/2014 THERE HAVE MULTIPLE BREAK INS INTO THIS VEHICLE. CONFIRMED BY LAKELAND HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN 2016. THIS DEALERSHIP AGREED TO TAKE THE CAR FOR A DAY TO DO A THOROUGH INSPECTION TO SEARCH FOR ANYTHING THAT SHOULD NOT BE ON THE VEHICLE IF I AGREED TO PAY A FEE. I WAS ADVISED BY THIS DEALERSHIP TO TAKE IT BACK TO HOLLER HYUNDAI IN MAITLAND OR WINTER PARK, FL AND SEE IF THEY WOULD AGREE TO DO THE INSPECTION HERE WITHOUT CHARGE EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE OUT OF WARRANTY. HOLLER HYUNDAI DOES NOT HAVE THE EQUIPMENT TO DO THE INSPECTION, ONLY FEW SELECTIVE STORES IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA HAVE THIS EQUIPMENT. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO HOLLER HYUNDAI SINCE EARLY 2015, AND THEY NEVER DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI MOTOR FINANCE AT 800-633-5151 AND ALL THEY DID WAS TAKE INFORMATION DOWN ON PAPER BUT NOTHING BEYOND WAS RESOLVED. BECAUSE OF THE BREAK INS, THIS HAS AFFECTED OUR RADIO RECEPTION WHILE PARKED SITTING INSIDE THE CAR OR IN MOTION EVEN WHEN MOST OF THE TIME RECEPTION SHOULD BE CLEAR NOT CLOUDY. ELECTRICAL WIRES SEEM TO CAUSE SKIPPING, AND HOW THE CAR FUNCTIONS WHEN IN MOTION. JUST TWO DAYS, I DISCOVERED A BLACK JACKET WAS TAKEN FROM THE CAR. OTHER ITEMS MISSING FROM THE VEHICLE SINCE THEN WAS: A VERY EXPENSIVE BURGANDY HANDHELD BLOW DRYER; CLOTHES; AND OTHER PERSONAL ITEMS THAT WERE HIDDEN INSIDE THE VEHICLE WERE STOLEN. I HAVE BEEN VERY DISAPPOINTED AND UPSET WITH HOLLER HYUNDAI AND THE CAR SINCE ALL OF THIS, AND FEEL I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR THIS INSPECTION. I'M NOT INVOLVED IN ANY FORM OF ILLEGAL ACTIVITY NEITHER MY DAUGHTER. WE ARE THE ONLY TWO WITH KEYS TO THIS CAR AND WE DRIVE TOGETHER IN THE CAR 95% IF NOT 100% OF THE TIME.

MY CAR WAS PARKED ON THE SIDE OF MY DRIVEWAY AND ON MONDAY MORNING, I PUT MY KEY IN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR CRANKED BUT DID NOT WANT TO TURN OVER. THE NIGHT BEFORE, MY CAR WAS RUNNING FINE. I'M LUCKY THAT IT HAPPENED AT HOME AND NOT STRANDED ELSEWHERE. I CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS AND CHECKED THE FUSES AND SENSORS AND STILL IT DID NOT WORK. AFTER READING OTHER FORUMS, THERE WERE ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. A MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD CHANGE THE IGNITION SWITCH. I WENT TO HYUNDAI PARTS TO BUY ONE AND THE GUY WHO WORKS THERE TOLD ME THAT THE SWITCH IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND IS MADE OF PLASTIC THAT CAN EASILY CAUSE CRACKS OR CONDENSATION WHERE WATER CAN GO INSIDE. IN ADDITION, HE MENTIONED HYUNDAI KNEW ABOUT THIS AND MADE AN UPDATED PART WHICH IS MADE OF METAL. KNOWING THAT THIS WAS FAULTY AND HYUNDAI HAD HID THE INFORMATION, THE IGNITION SWITCH SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE.

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.

ON 09/17/2018 I WOKE UP AROUND 5 AM TO FIND THE ELANTRA FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES IN THE FRONT END. IT WASN'T RUNNING, NOTHING LEFT ON, IT HAD NOT BEEN RUN FOR 4 HOURS SO THE ENGINE SHOULD HAVE BEEN COLD. NO DRIVABILITY PROBLEMS BEFORE. POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED, PUT THE FIRE OUT AND STATED THAT THEY SAW NOTHING SUSPICIOUS ABOUT THE FIRE AND THAT I SHOULD CHECK ON PROBLEMS WITH HYUNDAI. THIS CAR ONLY HAD 70000 MILES ON IT WITH A 10 YEAR 100000 MILE WARRANTEE .I WENT TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT COVERED WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT IT. THIS CAR WAS COLD, PARKED, NOTHING ON, NO KEYS IN IT, I DON'T SEE ANY REASON IT SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THANK YOU.
