Good Morning, This model and year of vehicle has had so many defects. I have paid hundreds of dollars over simple vehicle factors that Hyundai Manufacturers should really assess while pushing them to the market. This mode has had many brake light defect all consisting of the electrical wiring. I have changed MANY times the Brie lights bulbs only for them to blowout within a week. This is a roadway safety issue. Worse of all the ENGINE Is Faulty and the vehicles for this specific year tend to seize up or blowout due to the vehicle burning oil WAY BEFORE 3000 miles. I-??ve had to change oil now every month because the engine will literally start making a screeching noise under the hood. Only to realize that the car has zero oil yet zero leaks under 1000 miles of driven. The dealership recently changed my oil and filter and after 1,500 miles I realized the engine making this noise for the 3rd time. I have now filed a complaint with their head office, to only have them dismiss me and not care for the safety of others. I am most definitely not the first person that owns this model and has been phasing with this SAFETY problem. Please help us out and investigate this matter. This is not ethical practice and we should not be worried about our safety on a manufacturing defect.
I was involved in an accident where I was rear ended at a high rate of speed and pushed into the vehicle in front of me. I was thrown forward, hitting my head/left eye on something inside the vehicle. I received significant facial injuries and neck pain. My car was totaled from the impact but not a single airbag deployed. I cannot believe this is how airbags are intended to function, why have them if they are not going to deploy in a situation like this!
I have made numerous oil changes and I was driving home one night. The car left side front tire started screeching and the car kept jerking. Then there was a loud knocking coming from the engine. I drove it the next day and was on my way home and as soon as I pulled into my driveway, the car stalled and will not crank up at all.
I purchased my Hyundai Elantra in 2018 from a dealer in gilbert. The vehicle was pre-owned but records do not indicate any accidents. Recently I have started to have an issue with the airbag light being illuminated. It started out as an intermittent issue but now the airbag light is always on. I learned the illuminated airbag light means my airbags will not deploy in a crash. I've never had an issue with airbags in any vehicle I've owned. Some having over 300,000 miles. Hyundai has numerous complaints regarding the airbag system failing. This is a safety issue and it needs to be addressed by Hyundai America. I've tried contacting them for support thru email but have not received any response.
Front airbag clock spring bad. Air bag light stays on. Dealer states not part of warranty. Other Hyundai with same problem have warranties that have been extended. This needs to be included also

I have noticed that the sound coming from the engine is delayed kinda, almost like its not getting enough air at the right time. My car will have a hard time accelerating and it will hit high rmps then shift. I have to just slow down before the shift cause sometimes it scares me. I hear a ticking sound sometime but that could be music. My breaks are really touchy and sometime seem to have no traction when I need it most. All these things happen when I am driving. When I am trying to accelerate or break I can fill some kind of pull from behind the car.
I was in an accident on 11/30/17 that had three impacts and not one airbag deployed. I had an accident in 10/2016 and it did not deploy either, but I figured maybe because it wasn't as violent of an accident. The November accident was hard and several people have indicated that they were shocked they did not deploy including a deputy, a couple of doctors, and two insurance representatives. My car was totaled so I do not own it anymore. I was driving about 45-50 mph on a straight road and a person came from side street stop sign at me to clip the front passenger side, caused front driver side to hit a guardrail, and finally the car went head first into shallow ditch (hit rotten post and a lot of bushes). Driver door would not open all the way, a hole was in the driver front tire, the front passenger tire looked concaved/misshapen on the car.
