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.

really awful

use a fire extinguisher or call fire brigade (1 reports)
You would think that Hyundai would take just a tiny little bit of interest when my car, 18 months old, sitting in my driveway and not used for several hours, catches fire. But no, they have tried their best to ignore it. Investigations indicated a mechanical/electrical fault. I had reported a fault at the last service with the auto ignition. It was being too auto and trying to engage the starter even when not required. On the day of the fire you could hear the starter engaging the motor as the fire brigade put out the fire. Hyundai of course say there is no issue unless I can prove that it was a mechanical/electrical fault. Not to worry, you can't take on big car makers or expect them to look after you in such situations was my lesson. Otherwise a very nice car - ( if you buy, just buy a fire extinguisher, the auto ignition really is what it says.........it ignites).
