I received a recall notice some time ago about the ABS issue (251) Although they mention you can still drive the vehicle you shouldn-??t park near buildings. I have a driveway and do not feel compelled parking car in the street where a potential vehicle fire could harm my neighbors. It is taking far too long for a remedy in this case. I would like for Hyundai to get this resolved. Right now I have disconnected the battery for fear of fire. Luckily i currently have another vehicle to drive.

Starting in the summer of 2023 my car started making screeching noises when applying brakes, turning, etc. All 4 brakes and rotors were replaced. My car continues to screech. More concerning is that the steering wheel started clicking when turning in the Fall of 2023 and has progressively worsened, now clicking whenever moved left or right even a few inches. The steering feels very loose. Although the car is a 2011, it only has 36,000 original miles on it. This is very frustrating and feels very unsafe to drive. Repair/evaluation appointment with the dealership is scheduled for 2/1/24 to see what they say. My issues sounds VERY familiar to many other complaints on here and from other research I have done. I am not sure why this is not a recall to correct this common problem in the Elantra. Other Hyundai models have had steering column recalls. I see that the rubber coupling warranty in the power steering assembly was extended to 10 yrs/100,000 miles, however I was never informed of any safety or warranty issues when purchasing this vehicle in early February of 2020 which would have been within the 10 years. Extra disappointing is that the previous 2 owners were the sales manager and general manager of the dealership where I purchased it from.

I have been forced to park my car outside in case it catches on fire due to the faulty brake system that cannot be fixed. This puts my car in danger of vandalism and harsh winter conditions. This is unacceptable that Hyundai has not yet found a way to fix the dangerous brake system!!

- Lancaster , PA, USA

We received notice from Hyundai in mid-November about the anti-lock brake system modules problem (could leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrical short over time. This increases the risk of an engine compartment fire while parked or driving) There is still no date for fixing this problem. We now need to park this car outside our garage, which increases the risk of the car being stolen.

El carro aveces pone los frenos muy duros y no se detiene. El mismo se acelera solo y en otras ocasiones baja las revoluciones hasta apagarse. Aveces comienza a temblar y prende la luz de check. Aún desconozco si ha sido evaluado anteriormente por algún especialista. También el mismo demora en prender algunas veces. Me gustaría saber si el mismo puede ser evaluado por algún y especialista ya que entiendo que no es muy seguro el mismo. Me gustaría saber cuál es el costo de esto para así guardar el presupuesto para el mismo. Le agradeceré me dejen saber. Gracias anticipadas

My brakes light stay on and it the has something to do with the electronic stability control indicator light it just started two days ago.

My recent facebook post: Hyundai owners beware. Hyundai currently has 3 recalls that affect my car by production date, yet there are "no open safety recalls or service campaigns for this vehicle". the same last year when we tried to correct the defective transmission harness issue - it somehow didn't apply to our vehicle even though the part number was identical to that which was covered under the recall. Now there's a new issue - the vacuum assisted brake booster cannister failed due to rot/perforation, resulting in brake failure. Okay folks, are we seeing a pattern here? something like this: Industrial money matters, you don't. buy our crap, buy more of it, keep on buying. We follow the rules, yet we don't. we make 155,000 cars in a calendar year and you get to pay for our mistakes because government regulations are designed in the manufacturer's favor - they couldn't care less about you.

Brake peddle seems to collapse partially when I apply the brakes as if the master cylinder is failing, but it remains an issue even with a new master cylinder. I have been told it has something to do with the ABS system.

Rear brake pads separated after 50,000 miles of mainly highway driving (my Honda Accord, driven similarly, had brake pads last 150,000 miles). Vehicle is garaged.

On May 22nd I was stopped at a red light in heavy traffic. There was a lady in a Jeep infront of me. The light turned green, cars slowly began to move and as soon as I accelerated gently the lady infront of me slammed on her breaks about 15 to 20 feet infront of me. Instinctively I slammed on my breaks as well but my vehicle did not stop. Instead it continued forward right into the back of her Jeep. At the point of impact my car was going about 10mph. My foot never came off the breaks and I had more than enough space to slow down and stop. Had the breaks not failed me I would not be dealing with an accident. This is my first auto collision and I want someone to be held accountable for these faulty breaks. They have never failed before or failed an inspection. Nor were there any indicators prior to them failing to stop. The ladys Jeep only has minor scratches and the whole hood of my Elantra is destroyed, the radiator is caved in, grill is smashed, headlight is gone. I believe the car is totalled. The damage is most likely worth more than the car. I never even made it past the stoplight.

While driving the car one or more of the brakes get active without using the brakes. ABS start kicking and the car loose power. If I hate the brake the brake parks get really sensitive and the car start shaking. Happened too many times and I took the car to the dealer for diagnostic and they said they couldn't fined any problems. From my experience this is a use sensor problem and I spoke with Honda of America and they said my car and my VIN # has no recall.

The vehicle was purchased new and has approx. ~76K miles in 6.5 years of ownership. It is garaged when not in use. It has only ever been serviced at the same local Hyundai service center. At the 72,501-mile service, the brakes were assigned a yellow score on a red-yellow-green scale but no remedial work was recommended. Since then I have noticed no obvious issues with the vehicle's braking system nor received any dashboard indicators of vehicle issues. At yesterday's 76,184-mile service, I was told that the rear brakes needed urgent repair work. When I asked when I could bring the vehicle back for remedial work, I was told the repairs should be carried out immediately else I may lose the rear brakes. The inner rear pads were found to be coming apart from backing plates and "flapping". the rear brake pads were replaced and rear rotors resurfaced. For someone who drives conservatively specifically to increase brake life, it is extremely concerning that the vehicle's brakes went from ok 3500 miles ago, to now they could stop working imminently. For a fwd vehicle, it is interesting that the rear brakes specifically have this issue. Based on my experience, I am concerned those that do not service their Hyundai as frequently as I do, may experience sudden and catastrophic brake failure of factory-installed brake pads, rotors and other factory parts without warning, with obvious implications for occupant safety.

The Hyundai Elantra has an intermittent starting problem. This problem is hard to duplicate. The solution requires various attempts at trying the start switch along with the movement of shift lever. This becomes a safety problem since it requires numerous attempts to move shift lever from park to neutral position. When attempting to start vehicle after a number of times the power brakes take extreme pressure to control the vehicle from moving. At times, the shift lever will not move properly out of the park position and still not start. This has happened numerous times. The local Hyundai service warned me if problem cannot be duplicated owners are responsible for diagnostic and service costs that would likely be $200 or more. On one occasion the car was parked in my garage for about a week along with daily attempts at trying to start the car did not start the engine. Finally it started and did not have problems during the complete summer, but once the temperature has been below 40-50 degrees F problems occurred. I am very leery at allowing other family members to operate vehicle since some may have difficulty in applying the large amount of braking force to stop vehicle from moving on an incline when attempting to start vehicle. I reviewed the service bulletin no.: tsb-12-at-022-1 on Hyundai Elantra and Kia recall NHTSA campaign number: 13V114000. Note many Kia and Hyundai vehicles are similar in parts and function. After reading the NHTSA campaign number: 13V114000 about Kia, I did recall incidents of intermittent failing of brake lights and intermittent ESC light malfunction.

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that the brakes had been leaking fluid out of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was repaired and the fluid was replaced. The failure recurred and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The brake line was diagnosed as the cause of the failure and replaced. The failure recurred and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle would not start and was taken to the dealer again where the brake control unit was replaced. After driving approximately 35 mph, flames appeared from the exhaust. The contact stated the vehicle was pulled to side of the road and restarted and smoke began to flow from the exhaust and engine. The brake warning indicator illuminated during the first two failures and, during the last two failures, all the warning indicators illuminated. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 51,000.

As I was driving the skid control light came on. At first, nothing was different, then all of a sudden my car started slowing down and would accelerate with gas being applied. Then, it started moving again. After a while the light went off, but then came on and did the same thing.
