I purchase a brand new Hyundai Elantra end of January 2016. When I start driving it the car started giving me problems for 2 and 7 months I've been having so much problem with my car when going to dealer constantly since I had it now I took my car back to the dealer on Tuesday and the dealer called me on Wednesday with the mechanic explain what's going on with the car on Thursday the dealer called me back saying the corporate company came out they have to replace my whole engine on my car I am really not happy with my car I don't want it I want them to take the car back I am so done and the service department is so bad there. They gave me the run-around norm reeves Hyundai in cerritos and also the henry inn in garden grove also.
When entering a fairly severe curve, like a 270 degree freeway on-ramp or off-ramp to an overpass, or 90 degree curves on mountain roads, at normal speeds, the ESC appears to sporadically turn on and off aggressively. The behavior is severe. The brakes are applied, hard, about twice per second. Hard enough to feel like you hit a pothole. The throttle seems to be cut as well. Pressing the accelerator does nothing while in this state, as if its been disconnected. After straightening out of the curve, the behavior stops. Disabling via the ESC button has no effect, the problem persists. A trip to the dealer (10/2015) resulted in the diagnosis of a bad 'lateral sensor' - that it wasn't communicating to the ESC. However the problem apparently was more involved: They kept the car for 17 days and had two other 2016 Elantra GT models in the service department with the same issue. Ultimately they could not find a fix for the problem and returned the car, stating that the problem was not a "safety concern". however they intended to continue troubleshooting the issue with one of the problem cars being used as a "test mule". the service department stated that the problem seems to be limited to the 2016 Elantra GT. I am not entirely convinced of the "safety" verdict. While I agree that its fairly safe for "me", since I'm aware of the behavior and its consistent, it might be a surprise for another Elantra GT owner whose first experience might be in the rain or snow. Winter is coming, and while I'm aware of the issue and therefore will take curves slower as to not antagonize the car - what about others?
