Hyundai Elantra electrical problems

I HAVE A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. FILED A REPORT ON THE SUSPENSION, STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS REPORT IS SOMETHING I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT UNTIL I SAW OTHERS WERE HAVING THESE TWO ISSUES. 1. WHEN YOU TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, IT STILL DINGS AND THE DOORS WON'T LOCK. I AM ASSUMING IT STILL THINK THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION. YOU HAVE TO PUT THE KEY BACK IN AND TAKE IT OUT AGAIN TO GET THE DINGING TO STOP. 2. I HAVE TWO CIGARETTE LIGHTER RECEPTACLES (NOW KNOWN AS 12V ACCESSORY SOCKETS). CANNOT USE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME AS IT CAUSES THE TPMS LIGHT TO COME ON. A FEW SECONDS AFTER ONE OF THE RECEPTACLES HAVE BEEN EMPTIED THE TPMS LIGHT GOES OUT. THE FIRST ISSUE HAPPENS WHILE PARKED AND THE SECOND ISSUES HAPPENS WHETHER PARKED OR DRIVING . . . MOSTLY WHEN DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, ALL FOUR WINDOWS FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUSE, WIRING, AND DOOR SWITCH FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

AS I AM DRIVING THE CAR THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON AND STARTS FLASHING AND AT THE SAME TIME THE RADIO AND THE CLOCK SHUT OFF. THE TIRE LIGHT STOPS FLASHING WITHIN THIRTY SECONDS TO A MINUTE. I ALSO CAN NOT USE MY KEY FOB TO LOCK MY DOORS UNTIL THE CAR HAS RESET. USUALLY CAR WILL RESET BETWEEN FIVE MINTUES TO AN HOUR. (WHERE I CAN PLAY THE RADIO AND SEE THE CLOCK ETC,) THIS IS STARTING TO HAPPEN MORE AND MORE NOW. THE CAR IS FOUR YEARS OLD. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I AM STARTING TO GET TIRED OF THIS AND WANT IT TO STOP. I WAS REALLY UPSET THAT DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR; WHEN CLEARLY IT HAS A PROBLEM WITH IT. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM?

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING, I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE AND THEN CAR LOSING POWER COMPLETELY ON INTERSTATE. MY FATHER CAME AND THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP AND DROVE FINE. TWO WEEKS LATER SAME THING. MY MOTHER CAME TO GET ME AND WHEN SHE GOT THERE, THERE WAS NO POWER TO CAR BUT KEYS WERE STUCK IN ON POSITION AND CAR WAS STILL IN GEAR AS I HAD TO PULL EMERGENCY BRAKE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER. MY MOTHER TOLD TOW TRUCK DRIVER THAT BATTERY WOULD MOST LIKELY BE DEAD AS THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING IN ON POSITION WAITING FOR TOW AND THEN TRIP TO DEALER. DEALER STATED BAD BATTERY AND CAR WAS OUT OF GAS. ALTHOUGH NO GAS WAS ADDED TO CAR BUT THEY PERFORMED ALL THEIR TESTS AND UPDATES TO ECM PER MANUFACTURER WITH CAR OUT OF GAS (BUT RUNNING). REPLACED BATTERY AND CAME OUT OF WORK NOT LONG AFTER AND CAR WOULD NOT START. I HIT STEERING WHEEL IN FRUSTRATION AND TRIED AGAIN AND CAR STARTED. DROVE IT HOME, LEFT IT IN ACCESSORY POSITION, LOST POWER. DID SAME THING AS BEFORE WITH HITTING STEERING WHEEL, STARTED AGAIN. RECENTLY MOVED AWAY TO COLLEGE, DROVE IT ALL DAY, WENT BACK TO MY PARENT'S HOUSE FOR A COUPLE HOURS WENT TO LEAVE AND THE KEYS WOULD NOT TURN (COULD NOT EVEN GET STEERING WHEEL UNLOCKED), IT SAT OVERNIGHT AT MY PARENTS FOR AT LEAST ONE NIGHT MAYBE TWO WHILE I DROVE MY MOTHER'S CAR. THE ORIGINAL DEALER CAME TO TAKE IT BACK AND SEE IF HE COULD FIGURE IT OUT, STARTED THE FIRST TIME HE TRIED TO START IT. TURNED IT OFF AND TRIED AGAIN AND HE COULD NOT GET STEERING WHEEL TO UNLOCK AND KEY TO TURN, WAITED A COUPLE MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT HAS BEEN RUNNING FINE SINCE. THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM IS WILLING TO LET ME TRADE THE CAR BACK TO HIM FOR SOMETHING ELSE IF I CAN FIND SOMETHING I WANT BUT I LOVE MY CAR.

OUR CRUISE CONTROL (CC) SWITCHES ON THE STEERING HAVE STOPPED WORKING! THE BEHAVIOR WAS UN-PREDICABLE AND DANGEROUS FOR WHILE WHEN HITTING CANCEL BUTTON WOULD "ENGAGE" THE CC. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN ON THE CONNECTOR THAT CONNECTS THE WIRES FROM THE CC SWITCHES TO THE STEERING CASE. THE CONNECTOR IS PLACED RIGHT UNDER THE HORN COVER AND WE BELIEVE THE CONNECTOR GETS SQUEEZED EVERY TIME THE HORN IS USED. I TESTED THIS MYSELF AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE CC TO WORK AFTER LIFTING THE HORN COVERS FORWARD SECTION WHICH REDUCED THE PRESSURE FROM THE CONNECTOR RIGHT UNDERNEATH IT ! WHEN I DID THIS, HITTING THE CC. ONCE AGAIN THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE CAUSE DRIVERS COULD ASSUME THEY ARE DISABLING THE CC, WHEN THEY COULD ACTUALLY BE ACTIVATING CC WHICH WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS.

UPDATE TO TICKET # 1119161 - 4 SEPARATE APPTS, WITH,90 PLUS DAYS ACCUMULATED TOTAL AT A HYUNDA SERVICE CENTER EXPANDING 21 MONTHS AND 15000 MILES. 43 DAYS AT CURRENT SERVICE DEPT WITH NO UPDATE, VEHICLE CONTINUES TO STALL WHILE DRIVING, ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS CONTINUE TO EXPAND AFTER INTERIOR WAS SOAKED FROM A CONFIRMED/REPAIRED DEFECT IN SUNROOF FRAME. BEYOND THE ABILITY OF SERVICE TECHNICIANS TO DIAGNOSE, ENGINEER INSPECTED AND CONFIRMED VEHICLE STALLING WHILE DRIVING AND MESSED UP INTERIOR JULY 2016 FROM SUNROOF LEAK, REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE BUT VEHICLE CONTINUES TO STALL WHILE DRIVING, IN ADDITION ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS CONTINUE TO DEVOLOP THAT HYUNDAI WILL NOT RESOLVE, VEHICLE WAS IN BUYOUT REVIEW WITH HYUNDAI BUT WAS STOPPED DUE TO MY COMPLAINT FILED WHICH SOUTH CAROLINA CONSUMER AFFAIRS REQUESTING A REPURCHASE THAT HYUNDAI DENIED. VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE NOR AM I BEING TOLD WHAT'S GOING ON. IF TECHNICIAN CANT DIAGNOSE A CONFIRMED ISSUE BY THEIR ENGINEER THEN WHY IS VEHICLE STILL AT SERVICE CENTER AND WHY ARE THEY NOT CALLING TO ADVISE AFTER 43 DAYS.

THE CAR IS NOT COVERED ON THE CAMPAIGN #146 EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE'S MAKE, MODEL & YEAR WERE CORRESPONDING TO THE RECALL. THEY NEED TO WIDEN THE VIN NUMBERS EFFECTED AS MY VEHICLE WAS EFFECTED BY THIS SAME ISSUE. THE BREAK STOPPER BROKE INTO MANY PIECES ALL OVER MY FLOORBOARDS AND MY BREAK LIGHT WAS CONTINUOUSLY ON. IT THEN KILLED MY CAR BATTERY BY USING THE BATTERY TO POWER THE BREAK LIGHTS WITH THE CAR OFF AND KEYS OUT THE CAR. IT WONT SHOW IF YOU ARE PRESSING THE BREAKS AND IT MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS DRIVERS BEHIND YOU WILL NOT KNOW IF YOU ARE HITTING THE BREAKS. PLEASE ADVISE THEM TO BROADEN THE RECALL #146 AS THIS AFFECTS MANY DRIVERS.
