CarComplaints.com Notes: We're not used to seeing any major problems with Hyundai, which makes the early signs of trouble with the 2013 Elantra very surprising, in a bad way.
Early trends show problems with the steering wandering / pulling to one side along with premature tire wear. Elantra owners have tried sensor adjustments, wheel alignments, even replacing axles, most with no luck. Hyundai has made vehicle buybacks through arbitration, but that rarely works out well financially for owners in the end.
Also there is a pattern of complaints about the 2013 Elantra brakes grinding at very low mileage. It seems there was a bad batch of OEM pads & rotors, but so far Hyundai is not doing a recall. Instead Hyundai issued a TSB & dealers have been replacing pads & rotors on a per-complaint basis.
The final straw is that for several years in a row, Elantra owners report significantly lower gas mileage than the EPA estimates, & there's a small trend of engine problems.
Okay, so on this date, I met with the service advisor for my dealership who promised to work with me to fix all the issues I had with the car.
He thought I did not know HOW to set my clock. My salesman called me with instructions to do so. I KNOW HOW TO DO IT!
The problem is, the clock numerals are tiny when the RADIO is on. [when it's OFF the numerals are LARGE].
Honestly, I don't care to see HUGE radio numbers on the clock panel and tine clock digits in the far corner.
Esp since the radio numerals are ALSO on the side bars of the panel. So, I have to squint to see the time vs the clock station number, which is HUGE. There is no fix for this other than a design flaw.
If you can fix this LET ME KNOW!
It's MUCH preferred to have LARGER clock numbers, vs radio station numbers!!!!
