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.

Please be warn of purchasing a Hyandai Elantra!!! I can't stress that enough!!! The car won't start at times. The car will remain in park and the brake pad will lock itself. I've had to call the tow truck several times to get my car going and it's always the same issue. Again I took it in to the dealership but the computer scan shows no defects and because of that I got brushed off. I'm stuck with making payments to a lemon car. I'm not the only one with the same issue there have been several other owners as well. Hyundai has not done a recall on these vehicles. Refer to http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-t40609_ds554427 for more complaints. DO NOT BUY!
