My 2012 Hyundai Elantra is a good car overall, but 1 year after purchase, I also started to have the car not starting up thing. It started with minor no starts, which would start on the 2nd or 3rd try. Then as months went by, it started to get worse, sometimes requiring a 5 minute wait or more. The first time I took to the dealer, they couldn't find the issue. The second time, they knew exactly what it was. I'm guessing I wasn't the only one complaining. They changed the 'RANGE SWITCH' on the transmission, and it's been fine ever since. Has been 2 years now and still good. It was covered under the standard warranty too. Hyundai stand by their products.
I own a 2012 Hyundai Elantra which about every 3 days while sitting at a red light or waiting to pull out into traffic stalls for no apparent reason. I took the car to my auto mechanic who could find no reason for the problem. Have been trying to get a hold of the dealership service department to no avail. This may turn into a serious problem should this happen and I end up in an accident because no one wants to figure this out. I also have had issues with it not wanting to start.
