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.

I've loved this car and it only has 51,000 miles. There is no reason a gently run car should need a new transmission.
I also have engine knocking. In 2018 I had my oil changed at the dealership and they forgot to put the plug back in so my engine was ruined. They put in a new (faulty engine) on July 29, 2018. The Hyundai Elantra engine ticking noise has caused a proposed class-action lawsuit that includes all consumers who are former or current owners and lessees of 2011-2016 Hyundai Elantras equipped with “Nu†1.8-liter engines. I'm now experiencing that and the dealership says it is not conclusive.
Why is it that I purchased a Lease vehicle and was the first actual OWNER yet the warranty does NOT cover me?
