Hyundai Elantra electrical problems

MY 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA WOULD NOT START THIS MORNING AND THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED STARTING IN MAY 2014. I HIT MY DOOR UNLOCK ON MY KEY FAB AND THE DOORS UNLOCKED FROM HERE I PROCEEDED START MY CAR. EVERYTHING STARTED BUT THE CAR. I TURNED BACK TO THE STARTING POSITION AND TRIED AGAIN SAME RESULTS. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN AMAZINGLY IT STARTED. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY CAR? THIS HAS HAPPEN BEFORE THE FIRST TIME CALLED A TOW TRUCK DRIVER AND BY THE TIME HE ARRIVED IT STARTED . THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY A VISIT TO NORTH COUNTY HYUNDAI IN CARLSBAD,CA. OF COURSE THE DEALERSHIP FOUND NOTHING WRONG . AGAIN WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR? *TR

WAS TAKING TRASH TO THE DUMP, 1 PERSON'S WORTH, GOING 5 MPH 1/ OF MILE FROM MY HOME, CAR VEERED TO RIGHT EDGE OF PAVEMENT, AND WHERE A BULLDOZER HAD DRUG ROAD EDGES AND BROKE PAVEMENT OFF, CAUSED ME TO HIT A TREE AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. I REVERSED CAR, BACKED UP 50 FT. AND CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF & WINDSHIELD GOT EXTREMELY HOT, AND I GOT OUT OF VEHICLE, SMOKE COMING FROM HOOD AREA, LEFT MY PURSE, AND WALKED ACROSS ROAD TO ASK FOR FIRE EXTINGUISHER. MAN HAD JUST GOT UP, HADN'T HAD COFFEE ,AND INVITED ME IN. I WENT BACK OUTSIDE AND SAW CAR WAS BURNING, SO I STAYED ON HIS PORCH, THEN FRONT YARD. I KNEW TRASH MAY HAVE AEROSOL CANISTERS, AND NOT WORTH MY LIFE TO TRY TO GO THROUGH FIRE TO SAVE MY PURSE. COPS CAME (9:45-10:15 AM , AND SAID I LOOKED FUNNY AND ARRESTED ME ACCUSING ME OF BEING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF MEDICATION. I WAS NOT ON ANY MEDICINE AND DEFINITELY NOT DRINKING. CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS AFTER EXPLOSION AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANOTHER FOR OVER 8 MONTHS. I AM ON DISABILITY FOR FIBROMYALGIA, NEURALGIA, & OSTEOPOROSIS, AND HOLLOW BONES. I FALL QUITE OFTEN (ONE LEG IS SHORTER THAN OTHER). OFFICER HIMSELF DREW MY BLOOD IN A PUBLIC PLACE, AND REFUSED TO LET ME SEE MY ATTORNEY 3 TIMES. I NEVER GOT TO USE A PHONE IN 2 DAYS. BUT VEHICLE WAS PROBLEMATIC FROM DAY 1 , BATTERY WOULD NOT HOLD A CHARGE, JUMP A RIDING LAWN MOWER , AND WOULD JUST CUT OFF WHILE I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD. STEERING WAS ALSO A PROBLEM FROM DAY ONE, LIKE TIRES WERE NEVER ALIGNED. *TR

MY 2012 ELANTRA STARTED FINE THIS MORNING AND EVERY DAY PREVIOUSLY, BUT WHEN I WENT TO START IT AFTER SHOPPING, IT WOULDN'T START. I TURNED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND NOTHING. HOWEVER, ALL OF THE LIGHTS INSIDE WORKED. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT TO START AND IT FINALLY STARTED. I CAME HOME AND THEN AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS, I WENT OUT TO GO SOMEWHERE AND ONCE AGAIN, IT WOULDN'T START. AFTER 3-4 TIMES OF TURNING THE KEY, IT FINALLY STARTED. I CURRENTLY HAVE IT READY TO BE PICKED UP TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP AS I AM ASSUMING IT WILL NOT START AGAIN THE NEXT TIME. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS WELL AS VIEWING VIDEOS OF THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENING. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN JUNE OF 2012 SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING STRANDED, BUT I MAY BE REGRETTING MY DECISION. *TR

WHENEVER I TRY TO TURN ON MY CAR EVERYTHING TURNS ON EXCEPT THE ENGINE. THE LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING ARE FINE. THE BATTERY TESTS FINE. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. IT HAS NOT STARTED APPROXIMATELY 15-20 TIMES. BASED ON ACCOUNTS FROM OTHERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM THE ENGINE HAS ALSO STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. THANKFULLY THE ISSUE HAS ONLY EVER OCCURRED WHEN MY CAR IS PARKED, BUT I'D REALLY RATHER NOT RISK IT HAPPENING ON THE ROAD IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. *TR

I ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR LAST NIGHT AND IT DIDN'T START, LIGHTS WERE ON FULL POWER AND EVERYTHING BUT NOT A SOUND FROM THE ENGINE... TRIED MANY MANY TIMES DIDN'T START. THEN RANDOMLY IT STARTED. DROVE HOME PARKED WENT OUT THIS MORNING AND TRIED AGAIN DID NOT START. I HAVE TRIED MANY TIMES THIS MORNING BUT AGAIN IT HAS NOT STARTED. *TR

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM: CAR DIDN'T TURN OVER. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES, TRIED IT AGAIN AND IT STARTED. DEALER COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. SECOND OCCURRENCE: WOULDN'T START, THEN IT DID WHEN I TRIED IT A THIRD TIME. THAT SAME DAY, CAR WAS IDLING FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES AS I WAS SITTING IN IT. I HAD PUT IT IN PARK AND WHEN I TRIED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE, IT WOULDN'T BUDGE OUT OF PARK. I TURNED THE CAR OFF (FEARING THE WORST) AND IT STARTED AND ALLOWED ME TO PUT IT IN DRIVE. *TR

THE LIGHT INDICATING THERE IS LOW AIR PRESSURE CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO HAVE THE TIRES LOOKED AT. THE PRESSURE IS SUPPOSED TO BE SET AT 32. THEY WERE ALL BETWEEN 29-32 SO THEY ADJUSTED THE PRESSURE TO THE CORRECT SETTING. SAID MY TIRES WERE FINE AND THE SENSOR IS STILL ON. WHY IS THIS? AND HAS THERE BEEN ANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS LIGHT? *TR

ONE DAY IN JUNE, I TRIED TO START MY CAR AND THE PARK SENSOR ABOVE MY ODOMETER WOULD NOT SHOW. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE CAR WOULDN'T START AT ALL. I HAD TO CONTINUE TO TRY TO START THE CAR, BY TURNING THE KEY MULTIPLE TIMES INSIDE THE IGNITION AND PRESSING MY FOOT ONTO THE PEDAL. IT FINALLY STARTED, BUT NOT WITHOUT APPREHENSION ON MY PART. THE REST OF THE TIME, THE CAR WORKED OK FOR THE MOST PART, BUT WHENEVER I REACHED A TRAFFIC LIGHT IT WOULD ACT AS IF IT WERE PARKED AND ACTED A BIT FUNNY. THE STORY ABOVE HAPPENED 8 MORE TIMES OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. I HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED TO SEE IF IT WAS A BATTERY PROBLEM, ONLY TO REALIZE THE BATTERY WAS FINE. I TRIED OTHER TECHNIQUES, SUCH AS TURNING THE KEY COMPLETELY 90 DEGREES, BUT THAT DIDN'T SOLVE IT. FINALLY, I WENT TO THE DEALER AND UPON MY STORY BEING SHARED, THE MECHANICS IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH WAS NOT WORKING. THEY HAD NOTICED MORE HYUNDAI ELANTRA 2012 CARS IN THE PAST FEW DAYS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. SINCE I AM UNDER THE 5 YEAR / 60,000 MILE WARRANTY, THIS ISSUE WAS FIXED AT NO COST. HOWEVER, WHILE THIS ISSUE WAS FIXED AT MY END. I WOULD HOPE THIS STORY WOULD SPUR A FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCHES ON ALL HYUNDAI ELANTRA 2012S AND SEE WHAT ISSUES (IF ANY) COULD RESULT OVER A FAULTED TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH. *TR
