While vehicle is in motion the suspension is making rattling noises. While vehicle is in motion there is a very loud squeaking noise coming from the rear drums and also while braking.
The 2017 Hyundai Elantra all-weather floor mats have deep rubber grooves that run perpendicular to the driver's legs causing their shoe to be momentarily trapped in these deep rubber grooves. The extra motion necessary to release your shoes from these grooves can promote a safety hazard in an emergency situation. Are these floor mats being recalled?
Leased a brand new Hyundai Elantra 2017 with a known brake safety issue without the issue being repaired prior to or being notified immediately of the issue at the time of the sale. The purchase was made 4 months after the recall started from the bay ridge Hyundai dealership in brooklyn, NY. NHTSA recall #17V063000
My 2017 Hyundai Elantra SE does not have a service light. Drove about 8K miles and no service light came on so I took it to the dealer to service and asked why the light did not come up? upon completion they confirmed this car is basic and does not come with a service light. This is ridiculous. They give an msrp of over 21K and fail to put a very important feature. This is not acceptable
When I start my vehicle is shakes very bad. I let it sit for a few minutes and it will stop however when I'm stopped at a red lightning it will begin again. I just got my car less than a year ago, less than 20.000 miles and I'm up to date on all maintenance.

Leased the new Hyundai Elantra SE on June 28th 2017 and on august7 2017 the dealer called and was told the car has been recalled and has to be serviced. The recalls were from feb2017 and April 2017 and never repaired. I was leased this car as new with two existing recalls and never been informed.
I was in an open parking lot, I reversed my car out of the parking stall with 1 car on the passage side, no car on the stall right next to the driver side but there was a parked car right next to the emptied stall. When my car was completely out of the parking stall, I turned the wheel to the left (not all the way) so that I was in an 45 degree angel to drive out. I put my foot on my brake to check if there was enough room for me to drive out. Suddenly, I felt my car moved slowly on its own, my instinct at that time told me to put the car on park gear. As soon as I did that the car roll backward faster and stoped until I struck the parked car next to the emptied stall in the parking lot. My concern is why the car still moved if it was already in park gear. Or is the car supposed to stop while in park gear? I don't know car really well so I am not sure what the problem is, but it scared me to know that putting the car in park gear in this situation did not stop the car from moving. I am not sure if the manufacturer even test the car in this scenario.
I have had my Elantra for a little over a year now and it has around 13,000 miles on it. Almost three weeks ago my electric power steering light came on, so I took it to the dealership as soon as it came on. To make a long story short, they tested my car, replaced the wiring harnesss and still couldn't figure out the problem. I got a call on Tuesday of this week and was told that a mouse had chewed through all the wiring in my fuse box. I was informed not only by the guys at the dealership but also by my regular mechanic that this is a common problem amongst new cars due to the fact that a soy based insulation is used to protect the wiring instead of patroleum based. I was also informed that there are guards that can be put on the wires to prevent this problem from happening in the future. I strongly believe this should be a recall due to the amount of people having the same problem and that it can be avoided just by simply putting a guard on the wiring. I have to go through my insurance to fix this problem now because Hyundai won't fix it themselves since it is not covered under warranty.
We just purchased an Elantra limited. It was discovered that the Elantra can be turned off while not in park without any kind of warning/buzzer going off to remind the driver that a very hazardous situation is in play. Most drivers grab the key when leaving the car and cannot physically remove the key when the car out of "park". this prevents the car from rolling down a hill as the driver walks away. The key-less ignition has bypassed this safety feature. This situation will likely be address by class action sooner than later. It would be very thoughtful if someone could prevent the human cost that is likely to ensue.
If I'm with in 100 feet of my car anybody can open my doors..... my safety is now a concern!!! this is a huge problem!! also while driving or parked my trunk opens up if you can't resolve this safety issue I will be returning this vehicle and requesting one that is safe for me and my family.. P.S. I am very much aware of a pending law suit pertaining to the lemon law.
While driving, my car started to make a beeping sound I had not heard before. I looked at the dashboard and the multi-media system and I did not see any warning indicators/lights. When I stopped at a red light I put the car in park, turned the car off and turned the car back on (push to start). I proceeded to drive again and the car began to beep that unfamiliar sound again. Still no visible warning indicators/lights. I pulled over, put the parking break on, put the car in park, turned the car off and then turned the car back on. I began to drive again and the car was no longer beeping. While driving I stepped on the break pedal with the intent to slow down because of slowing traffic, my car did not slow down. I slammed on the break, the car still did not slow down and I hit the car in front of me. After I hit the car in front of me my car was still pushing, I stepped on the break again and the car felt as if it was still trying to push forward, I pulled the emergency break and the car stopped. A police officer was already on the scene, then notified us park police to come and take a report.
