Hyundai Elantra electrical problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2008 HYUDAI ELANTRA. WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE AFTER DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES, IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND FILED A REPORT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH FAILED WIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED ISSUES STARTING SPORADICALLY. IN ADDITION, ALMOST ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL EXCEPT THE PARKING INDICATOR. IT TOOK NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS FOR THE VEHICLE TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE KEY FOB WOULD NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS. THE DOORS HAD TO BE OPENED MANUALLY. ALSO, WHEN THE KEY WAS INSERTED IN THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE VEHICLE DID NOT START. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS JUMPSTARTED AND DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V100000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

VEHICLE WAS TOOK IN TO DEALERSHIP LAST 4/22/2015 FOR EPS RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V100000 AND HYUNDAI RECALL 127. THEY COMPLETED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE RECALL DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM ON 5/26/2016 WAS DRIVING THE 2010 ELANTRA AND EPS LIGHT CAME ON CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CAPABILITY. CALLED HYUNDAI THEY SAID IT WAS NOT PART OF RECALL TAKE TO DEALER. DEALER ON 6/1/2016 STATED THAT THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS DONE BUT DID NOT FIX EPS STEERING ISSUE AND WOULD NEED TO REPLACE STEERING COLUMN $2150. THE RECALL OBVIOUSLY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE HAVE NOTICED MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IF A RECALL IS TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE RECALL SHOULD BE DONE FULLY AND CORRECTLY NOT CHEAPLY AND HALFWAY. THE EPS CAUSES STIFF STEERING MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR A PERSON TO STEER. THIS COULD LEAD TO MANY ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLY DEATH. THE LIGHT COMES ON AND IMMEDIATLEY WITH OUT WARNING THE STEERING IS AUTOMATICALLY GONE. WHILE DRIVING I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE AFTER LOSING STEERING I TRIED MAKE A TURN OFF THE MAIN ROAD INTO A SUBDIVISION TO GET OFF THE MAIN ROAD. AS I WAS TURNING AT A VERY LOW SPEED BELOW 5 MPH I WAS UNABLE TO STAY IN MY LANE AND A CAR WAS EXITING THE SUBDIVISION. ALTHOUGH THERE WOULD BE MINOR DAMAGES, THIS COULD BE DIFFERENT IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AT AN EXIT COMING AROUND A TURN. THE LOSS OF STEERING IS UNSAFE AND I DO HOPE THAT THE RIGHT MEASURES ARE EVENTUALLY TAKEN TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 45000 MILES ON IT.

THE CAR WILL NOT TURN ON. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN TEST AND IS FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR. THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND STATIONARY, WHEN THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION ALL LIGHTS TURN ON BUT THE CAR DOES NOT TURN ON. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO MULTIPLE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES IN RURAL AREAS.

WHILE LEAVING A PARKING LOT IN THE CITY, IN DRIVE, CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO NEXT GEAR, UNABLE TO GO ABOVE 25MPH; WITH ADDITIONAL PRESSURE TO GAS SENDING RPMS HIGH WITHOUT ALTERING SPEED OR SHIFTING GEAR. AFTER FINDING A PLACE TO PARK, NO CEL. UPON RESTARTING CAR, CEL IS ILLUMINATED, AND CAR WILL NOT SHIFT INTO PARK, REVERSE, OR NEUTRAL, AND UPON PUTTING INTO DRIVE THE CAR JERKS FORCIBLY. THE SHIFT INDICATOR ON THE DASH ALSO FAILS TO REGISTER P, R OR N. ONLY DRIVE. HAD CAR TOWED AND LEFT AT AUTOREPAIR SHOP AND THE NEXT MORNING THEY WERE ABLE TO PULL CODE U0101 FROM DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, AND AFTER PLUGGING THE TCM BACK IN AFTER EXAMINING PINS AND CONNECTORS, THE TRANSMISSION RETURNED TO NORMAL FUNCTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED MORE THAN ONCE DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED MORE THAN ONE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL AT THE DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,500. UPDATED 05/24/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE RANGE SWITCH WAS REPLACED . THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.
