Hyundai Elantra electrical problems

WHILE DRIVING THE CLOCK WILL START TO FLASH THEN THE HEADLIGHTS WILL FLASH AS THE RADIO/CLOCK FLASHES. IF HEAD LIGHTS ARE OFF THE LIGHT BY GAUGES WILL START FLASHING MAKING A CLICKING NOISE, THE BATTERY LIGHT WILL SOMETIMES COME ON AND FLASH ALSO. IF I TURN THE AIR ON THE FLASHING WILL STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 6 TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. *TR

ISSUES WITH PUMPING FUEL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO CALL IT, BUT WHILE PUMPING GAS I CAN PUMP 15 +/- CENTS AND THE HANDLE CUTS OF ASS IF THE TANK IS FULL, TAKES FOREVER TO PUT $10 IN. 2ND ISSUE IS THE ELECTRICAL, EACH TIME I BUMP THE DASH AT THE RADIO AREA THE LIGHTS EITHER COMES ON OR GOES OUT AND 2 WEEKS AGO THE RADIO QUIT WORKING (NOT THE FUSE) I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT AXLES, MOTOR MOUNT BROKEN, THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN SINCE DAY ONE THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE , I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE PLASTIC PIECE BEHIND THE BRAKE PEDAL.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND LACK OF DIGITAL ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ALERTED DRIVER TO ISSUE. UPON INSPECTION AT AUTHORIZED HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER, IT WAS NOTED THAT RODENTS HAD GNAWED THROUGH WIRING AND CONNECTORS LOCATED IN THE ENGINE BAY. PER SERVICE CENTER'S RECOMMENDATION, VEHICLE WAS CONSIDERED UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AND VEHICLE WAS LEFT AT SERVICE CENTER PENDING APPROPRIATE REPAIRS/REPLACEMENTS. IT WAS NOTED THAT THE WIRES THAT WERE CHEWED THROUGH WERE COATED WITH SOY-BASED MATERIALS INSTEAD OF PLASTIC WHICH HAD BEEN USED IN EARLIER MODELS. SERVICE CENTER CLAIMS TO SEE THIS ISSUE AT LEAST A FEW TIMES PER MONTH. RODENT DETERRENT TAPE IS BEING PURCHASED FROM HONDA (WHO ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGES THIS ISSUE AND IS CURRENT THE SUBJECT OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT). TAPE WILL BE WRAPPED AROUND WIRES FOLLOWING REPAIRS.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE'S AIRBAG LIGHT IS TURNING ON AND OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET AND ON HIGHWAYS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TRIGGERS IT TO TURN OFF AND ON. IT ALSO TURNS ON AND OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN MOTION. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SECURITY ISSUE BECAUSE IF I AM INVOLVED IN A MAJOR CAR CRASH AND THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT ON THEN I WILL NOT BE SECURED.

I HAVE A 99 HYUNDAI ELANTRA 4 DOOR. LAST WEEK THE STEERING COLUMN CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN. MORE SPECIFICALLY, I WAS AT THE TIME IN THE HARDEE'S DRIVE THRU WHEN THE SMOKE AND FLAMES STARTED. I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR TO ROLL OUT OF THE DRIVE THRU AND INTO THE PARKING LOT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO A FEW MECHANICS WHO SAY THAT IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT MELTED ALL OF THE STEERING COLUMN, DASH, CRACKED THE WINDSHIELD WITH THE HEAT, AND OTHER FIRE DAMAGE. THE CAR IS NOW TOTALED AND UNDRIVEABLE. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 2 KIDS AND THIS WAS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. ALSO ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION THAT WAS NOT MY FAULT, AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD CONTACTED HYUNDAI AFTERWARDS, BUT THEY SAID THAT THE CAR WAS FINE AND NOT TO WORRY. I HAVE NO WAY TO SCAN MY DOCUMENTS, BUT I HAVE A POLICE REPORT AS WELL AS SEVERAL EMAILS FROM HYUNDAI FROM LAST YEAR, AS WELL AS PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE ELECTRICAL POWER SEIZED AND THE ESC WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
