I was pulling into a parking space on a Sunday afternoon at a business park. It was mid day and dry. I was slowing down and half way into the space when the car suddenly accelerated. It seemed like the car went out of my control. The car was stopped by a 3' shrub or else I would have crashed into the building. In the process, a car parked beside me was also damaged.

I bought a 2013 Hyundai Elantra limited new. 3 years later the car stalls out when stopped and it difficult to start. Have taken the car to the dealership so many times (10) within a 2 month period, I use the loaner more than my own car. The last time I picked it up they had changed out the timing cover with oil pump, cam shaft and timing chain. Called me to come pick my vehicle up as it was ready. When exiting the dealership, I came to the stop light and the car stalled once again with it being difficult to start. Turned around and the vehicle would not drive faster than 20 mph. The service manager came out and asked what was wrong. I asked him to get in the vehicle that they had just fixed. He drove it and they now have my car once again and I'm driving the loaner. They can't seem to find out what the problem is and say they keep calling the manufacturer for input. Apparently no one knows what is wrong and I will not buy another Hyundai as it seems they can't repair their vehicles with these similar problems.

2013 Hyundai Elantra on December 24, 2013, the vehicle was being operated on a road with a 35 mph speed limit. Without any deviation of the accelerator pedal, the vehicle jumped to 60 mph. While at the subsequent stop light, the vehicle's RPM's remained high (approximately over 5,500 RPM). The Elantra was then driven to a home depot parking lot. Upon restarting the vehicle, RPM's climbed to 5,000 (while in "park"). no other modules were being used at this time - including cruise control or "eco boost." The vehicle's RPM rate remained at around 2,500-3,000 once put into "drive", resulting in the speed reaching approximately 20-25 mph. This is without the foot on the accelerator and traveling over small hills and grade variants. Summary: While 2013 Elantra is in park, RPM's rest at 5,000. While in drive, RPM''s bottom out at 2,500-3,000, disallowing the ability to naturally stop. This issue appears to reside in the accelerator pedal and the components located therein. This is to be confirmed at a Hyundai service center.

When going over any road defects or abnormalities, while driving the car, I have become aware of how the suspension is on this vehicle makes noises, fishtails, and seems to bottom out with any speed bump. Rear wheels seem to lose traction when hitting any type of small hole, crack, or drop in road flatness. Suspension also sways awkwardly with certain turns. Only getting more and more noticeable as the car continues to age.

I bought a used 2013 Hyundai Elantra with 29,802 miles on it on October 6, 2014. By February 2015 I started hearing a tapping noise from under the hood and a noise when I pressed the gas pedal which stopped when I took my foot off the gas pedal. I took it to a Hyundai dealership in February 2015 and it was determined I needed my engine replaced. Hyundai agreed to replace it under factory warranty. I had 32,500 I believe miles on it. The dealership had multiple cars sitting on their lot which needed their engines replaced. While I was waiting for a rental car business to come pick me up at the Hyundai dealership to get me a rental car to drive while my car was waiting to be fixed, I spoke to a couple who came in to drop off their rental car. Their 2012 Hyundai Elantra needed an engine replacement as well--at 23,000 miles. The dealership told me that these cars had engine problems more often in the northeast due to the more severe weather in the winter. I so regret ever buying my first ever Hyundai vehicle!

Driver was making a left turn into a parking space on 2nd floor of parking garage. As the left turn was made, the Elantra GT suddenly accelerated by itself into a wall, hitting a pole and the wall. Hyundai is investigating. Dealer is useless. Right now unsure how to proceed. Exterior can be fixed, but what about the problem?
