Multiple safety recalls issued for many models of hyundai cars. most recent that affects the 2014 hyundai elantra and other models is faulty ABS system which could result in engine compartment fire while parked or driving. There is no available repair for this problem. I received notice in the mail on 01/03/2024. I noticed that the safety recall was issued in September of 2023. How is it acceptable that I was informed of a serious safety issue 4 months after it was found out? As I stated previously, there is not an available repair for this serious safety issue and fire risk. They are not offering free services to determine if this issue is affecting my car. Seriously negligent of Hyundai.
Engine light has been on for almost a year with NO prior failure or issues after car hit a dangerous pot hole in the road which caused coil packs and spark plug replacements. After the repair, the engine light stayed on for almost a year and the car has been taken to multiple shops and a Hyundai dealer & diagnosed by Hyundai same answer of "maybe" leak and gas cap being loose. gas cap has been tightened and even replaced few times. Engine light stays on and no one can figure out why. The battery eventually died months later and when battery was replaced engine light came off and then back on days later. same result from mechanics of not knowing true reason engine light is on. 1 month after battery died alternator went out and no signs of knowing and safety concern because engine light stays on but not indicating true reason. 1 day after alternator went out car begin overheating on and off. the engine alert has still been on and never comes on for true reason which can indicate safety concern. problems within vehicle is starting to rise back to back. The signs of a leak but unaware to find is a safety issue
At 8am coming back from kinstone nc driving on hey 70 at 60mph second lane my 2014 Hyundai Elantra suddenly braked on me. Car started sliding from one side to another spin around twice before went down hill.
Since I bought my 2014 Hyundai elanyra it has had a problem with leaking water to the inside of the vehicle on the passengers side. Apparently it's a leak from the ac hose and it's clogged? now my floor is weak and it is rotting out due to the water damage. I've had it repaired but it continues to leak after several weeks of being fixed! I've had enough!!! the water only flows when its moving around any corner... no one can sit in the front seat because they get a shower every few seconds!!!
Hatch door recall. On hot days the rear spoiler on the hatch door swells and as a result it will stick and jam preventing the rear hatch from opening. The jamming caused the body to dent and chip the paint, this could result in future pre-mature rusting of the body.

Takata recall on 9/23/2018, about an hour after a rainstorm (car was garaged during storm) my car was in motion at 40 mph in the left lane on a curve of a southbound interstate exit I275. The car suddenly went sideways, and began fishtailing. I tried to pump the breaks but they were not working. The vehicle then smashed the front side of bumper into the guard rail, and pushed me across two traffic lanes. The vehicle stopped in the right lane, facing North in a southbound exit. I tried to put it in reverse to get into the shoulder, and there was no acceleration. The engine had shut off on me while driving on the interstate. I do not know what failed the engine, or why it shut off. Hyundai corporate was contacted and they opened a case, and performed a full inspection. On 11/12/18 Hyundai claimed "we cannot agree that the accident involved a product defect and are declining any financial assistance." A third party mechanic was then contacted, and found code C1555 and a failing vvti cylinoid. There is no recall. There is no way to prove this car is unsafe with the routes I have taken so far. I will not accept this answer. The engine of this car shut off and could have been fatal. It is also terrifying to think about who would to be blamed for such a fatal or dangerous accident since Hyundai "couldn't find any defect." I asked for results of the scan and the case manager, christina replied that I am not authorized to see them, for "results are for proprietary use only." This company needs to own up to their risky product!
