Hyundai Elantra electrical problems

PERIODICALLY MY CAR WILL NOT START OR TURN OVER TO START. THE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR PARTS ARE YOUNG AND A COUPLE FORUMS I HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET SHOW THAT OTHER PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR MODEL YEARS AND THE SAME YEAR ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. IT WAS REPORTED IT MIGHT BE THE RANGE SWITCH OR THE SHIFT INTERLOCK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN. WHEN I CALLED INTO MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP THEY SOUNDED PERPLEXED. *TR

PURCHASED ELANTRA JULY 12, 2012. I CALLED MY BROTHER FOR FINANCING INFORMATION. HE CAME TO THE DEALERSHIP. MAZDA OF ORANGE. WHEN HE STARTED READING THE CONTRACT THE BECAME VERY UPSET. HE CALLED OUT THE SALESMAN FOR THE EXTRA CHARGES, TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ME, BY NOT TELLING ME I DIDN'T HAVE TO ADD THESE THINGS. THE MANAGER, ASK ME TO COME TO HIS OFFICE TO CLOSE THE DEAL. I NEEDED A CO-SIGNER. A FRIEND OF MINE SAID HE WOULD CO-SIGN. WE SIGNED. THE FIRST MALFUNCTION WAS THE CRUISE CONTROL. I WAS IN THE NUMBER ONE LANE THE TRAFFIC BEGAN TO SLOW. SO I TAPPED THE BRAKE, AGAIN AND AGAIN, IT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. EVEN THOUGH I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES. I WAS TERRIFIED AND TREMBLING. THE SECOND INCIDENT WAS WHEN, I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING PLACE, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK. EVEN THOUGH I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE CAR SPED UP WENT OVER TWO CEMENT STOPS ULTIMATELY HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE HEAD ON. THIS VEHICLE WAS PUSHED BACK APPROXIMATELY 6 FT. THE THIRD MALFUNCTION, WAS SEPTEMBER 25TH, 2013. UPON THE REQUEST OF A FRIEND, I PICK UP HER DAUGHTER FROM SCHOOL. WHEN WE GOT HOME, I PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY ON A SLANT. WE REMOVED THE PACKAGES FROM THE TRUNK INTO THE HOUSE. I SAT DOWN IN THE DRIVERS SEAT, WITH MY FEET OUTSIDE THE CAR ON THE PAVEMENT. THE CAR LUNGED VERY HARD AND FAST BACKWARDS. I, SUBSEQUENTLY WAS PULLED DOWN AND UNDER THE CAR. I WAS DRAGGED 12 TO 15 FT. WHEN IT STOPPED, MY CAR HAD HIT ANOTHER CAR. I ENDED UP UNDER MY VEHICLE, IN SERIOUS CONDITION. THE NATIONAL HIGHWAYTRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION HAD REPORTED ON-LINE THAT THERE WERE EXTENSIVE RECALLS ON THIS VERY MODEL. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY NOTICE. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN STALLING FOR MORE THAN A YEAR. THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR READ AS BAD AND I HAVE REPLACED IT TWICE. I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL SEP 11, 2000. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 00V259001 . I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED SEVERAL YEARS AFTER THE RECALL WAS IN EFFECT. WHEN I E-MAILED HYUNDAI, THEY RESPONDED BACK THAT THERE NO OPEN CAMPAIGNS ON MY VEHICLE. HOW DO I GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT FROM THE VEHICLE STALLING. *TR

CAR DOES NOT START - KEY IS IN IGNITION, LIGHTS AND SENSORS ALL WORK - TURN KEY IN IGNITION TO "ON" POSITION - NO START. GOING THROUGH SEVERAL GYRATIONS IE: JIGGLE THE SHIFTER, STEP ON BRAKE, LOCK AND UNLOCK CAR FROM INSIDE WITH FOB - THEN CAR STARTS USUALLY. CAR WAS TAKEN TO COLLEGE PARK HYUNDAI - SERVICE FOUND POOR CONNECTION AT MPS BOX; SECURED CONNECTIONS, NO SHOW ON DIAGNOSTICS. GOT IN CAR AT DEALERSHIP, DID NOT START ON 1ST TIME. TOOK CAR HOME - SAME THING - NOT STARTING ON FIRST TRY (SOMETIMES). RETURNED CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP 2-24-15 - STILL CANNOT DUPLICATE OR FIND PROBLEM. RETURNED CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP 3/2/15 - CANNOT FIND PROBLEM. AM PICKING UP CAR TODAY 3-10-15. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE TRUNK LID OPENED INDEPENDENTLY, THE ALARM ACTIVATED, AND ALL THE DOORS LOCKED AND UNLOCKED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE, WHICH FAILED TO SHIFT INTO THE PARK POSITION. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND DIAGNOSED THE FIRE AS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

I BOUGHT MY HYUNDAI ELANTRA NEW IN 2011 SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE IT'S BEEN A NIGHTMARE AND I GET VERY LITTLE IF ANY HELP FROM THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING (CAR IS SILENT WHEN I TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, CAR CRANKS BUT WON'T TURN OVER, ENGINE STARTS BUT DIES, CAR DIES WITHOUT ANY REASON). I'VE BROUGHT UP COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP BUT THEY ARE NEVER OF ANY HELP. I RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE THE STARTER REPLACED BUT IT WAS ONLY REPLACED BECAUSE MY CAR ONE DAY WOULDN'T START AT ALL. SINCE THE REPLACEMENT I AM STILL MET WITH MY CAR NOT STARTING AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK IF NOT MORE. YESTERDAY MY SUN ROOF WOULD NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY, IT RETRACTS A FEW INCHES FROM CLOSING, THIS IS NOT NEW TO ME, MULTIPLE INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES, SUCH AS IS OCCURRING NOW - THE SUN ROOF RETRACTING ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ANY VISIBLE REASON. OR WHEN THE GEAR SHIFT IS PUT IN PARK/REVERSE, ETC. SUNROOF WILL TAKE ON A MIND OF ITS OWN. I'M FED UP WITH THIS LEMON OF A CAR AND AS I SEE FROM ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT STARTING ISSUES HYUNDAI NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT - FIGURE OUT THE REASON WHY AND LET US CONSUMERS KNOW. *TR
