CarComplaints.com Notes: So far the 2011 Elantra doesn't have the same volume of transmission problems that 2010 owners are fighting with. It also doesn't have the same pattern of steering and braking complaints that are piling up with the 2013 model year.
We're not saying the 2011 is perfect -- I mean, what were they thinking advertising their MPGs -- but there are worse choices.

replace crank sensor and engine harness assemblies (1 reports)
Problem was at first annoying, then concern hightened by little or no engine speed when it did start. One occasion I had to start the car a dozen times then pull off the road when it ran badly. Check engine light on and off intermittently. Difficult to diagnose if not having problem at dealer. Computer upgrade of crank sensor did not solve problem. Concerned about safety of trying to work on highway and having engine speed limited. Very expensive repair for car with about 78,000 miles. Consistently had oil changes maintenance based on manufacturer's recommendations. Will not purchase another Hyundai vehicle.
