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.

During the past three years I have had to replace all of the brake lights, turn signals lights, day time running lights at least every three months and when removing the bulbs they are hard to get out and the connector is melted and burnt. The turn signals will short out and then work again regularly while in motion and stationary.

My headlights keep going out, the battery keeps dying and the car will not crank after you put gas in it with the ignition off. I have to leave the car running when I pump gas. My check engine lights comes on and off when it pleases. My tire light is usually always on, just been having lots of trouble with it here recently

Car stalls while in motion and coming to stops. Engine sounds like a diesel truck and also has a ticking noise. Constantly having to replace the headlight bulbs front and back. Also have issues with steering wheel making a winding noise when turning the wheel. My tire pressure light never goes off even when air is put in or all new tires are put on. Also constantly having issues driver side up front tire issues. Had new brakes done and shortly after there making noises again. I always have Hyundai do my work on my car except I do however go to walmart to get my tires. I have had this car for about 3 years and constantly have had issues with it. I will never ever buy another Hyundai again.

The car sensors keep going up. The crank shaft sensor is not sending a signal that the car is in motion. When pull out on to a street or highway and press the accelerator sometimes my car will stall or drop speed. I fear someone will end up running into the back of me. When I come to a complete stop the car will stall or will not accelerate. Also the car headlights and tails tight bulbs blow within 4 or 5 days after putting new bulbs in. The cam sensor for the back up camera does not work as well.

I have 2011 Hyundai Elantra. The air bag light came on at approximately 118000 M for no reason whatsoever. Took to dealer & was told car isn't part of recall, so I would need to pay for repair of approx $300. I didn't repair as I see same complaint from many owners. Also, all back end of car lighting has to be replaced every 6 months. There has got to be a defect with some way it was manufactured.
