MY HYUNDAI ELANTRA HAS HAD SEVERAL ISSUES SINCE PURCHASING IT MARCH 09, 2013. CHIEF COMPLAINTS ARE MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME TO POP OFF THE SHIFT LOCK BUTTON ON GEAR SHAFT AND MY CAR STARTED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER EVALUATION AND WAS INFORMED IT WAS A RELAY SWITCH, WHICH WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. PAID $260.00 TO HAVE THIS PART FIXED AND MY CAR STILL HAS PROBLEMS STARTING. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES AND UNABLE TO START MY VEHICLE. SECOND COMPLAINT IS MY CAR IS NOT GETTING THE GAS MILEAGE IT IS SUPPOSED TO. SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS WELL. THEY INFORMED ME TO ONLY USE SHELL GASOLINE. I STILL DO NOT RECEIVE THE GAS MILEAGE I WAS PROMISED UPON PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAS ENCOUNTERED EITHER ONE OF THESE ISSUES. *TR

2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. LAWYER WRITES REGARDING NOTICE OF CLAIM UNDER THE LEMON LAW ON BEHALF OF CLIENTS *TGW THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. WHEN THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO RETRIEVE THE VEHICLE, THE DEALER INFORMED HIM, THEY DAMAGED THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START. THE PROBLEM WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE ECM. THREE MONTHS LATER, THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS WOULD BLINK OFF AND ON RANDOMLY. AS A RESULT, THERE WAS NO WAY FOR THE CONSUMER TO KNOW IF THE OIL PRESSURE, RPM'S, TIRE PRESSURE OR ENGINE TEMPERATURE WERE WITHIN SAFE LIMITS. THE CRUISE CONTROL AND MILES PER GALLON DID NOT WORK EITHER. ALSO, THERE WAS NO WAY TO TELL IF THE ABS WAS WORKING. THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE THE ECM ONCE AGAIN. WHEN THE CONSUMER RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE AGAIN, FROM A DIFFERENT DEALER, HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE WRONG COMPUTER MODULE HAD BEEN INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. APPARENTLY, THE COMPUTER FOR A VEHICLE WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED; WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. ONCE THE CONSUMER LEFT THE DEALERSHIP, THE WARNING LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER AGAIN. *JB

3AQ23002 · Hyundai And Kia Abs Module Fires
Opened Nov 17, 2023 · No close date supplied
Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Service Brakes, Hydraulic:antilock/traction Control/electronic Limited Slip:control Unit/module
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received eight Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) and eight Kia America, Inc. (Kia) Part 573 Recall Reports between 2016 and 2023. The combined 16 safety recalls all involve the antilock braking system (ABS) modules or Hydraulic Electronic Control Units (HECU) manufactured by the equipment supplier Mando. The Part 573 Recall Reports contain varying defect descriptions and differing remedy descriptions for the same or similar equipment supplied by Mando. Safety recalls included in this Audit Query (AQ) review include: Hyundai recalls 20V-520, 20V-543, 21V-161, 21V-160, 21V-303, 22V-056, 22V-810, and 23V-651. Kia recalls 16V-815, 20V-518, 20V-519, 21V-137, 21V-331, 22V-051, 22V-800, and 23V-652 The purpose of this AQ is to evaluate the timeliness and scoping of Hyundai and Kia’s defect decision making and adherence with reporting requirements; and understand the varying defect descriptions and remedies between these recalls.
DP21003 · Throttle Control System Vulnerabilities
Opened Nov 12, 2021 · Closed Jun 20, 2023
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Vehicle Speed Control:throttle
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) received a petition letter dated October 10, 2021, requesting an investigation of possible defects in the electronic throttle control (ETC) system on certain Kia vehicles resulting in the opening of DP21-003. Accordingly, Model Year (MY) 2005-2016 Kia Optima/K5, MY 2006-2015 Kia Sorento, MY 2007-2016 Hyundai Elantra, MY 2007-2016 Hyundai Santa Fe, MY 2006-2015 Hyundai Sonatas are all part of the subject population. The petition was originally filed as a Vehicle Owner Questionnaire that can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under reference (ODI) number 11439675.On November 12, 2021, ODI opened Defect Petition DP21-003 to evaluate the petitioner?s request. ODI performed trend analyses of the VOQs related to vehicle speed control issues for all the subject vehicles and found that none of the 52 Model/Model Year Hyundai/Kia vehicles demonstrated any actionable trend that warranted an investigation.Petitioners submitted 1119 VOQs and non-VOQ cases in which sudden uncommanded acceleration (SUA) or loss of motive power (LOMP) incidents were alleged.For the 1119 reports, 220 were incidents involving crashes, from which 69 subject Hyundai-Kia vehicles were inspected by Hyundai/Kia dealer technicians, Hyundai/Kia engineers, and/or third-party representatives.ODI found the inspections identified no vehicle defects related to the ETC system.Of the 220 crash-involved reports, 13 Event Data Recorder (EDR) records were downloaded successfully and 11 of those indicated driver error: (i.e.) pedal misapplication.A condition where the accelerator pedal is mistakenly applied instead of the brake pedal when the driver wants to stop the vehicle.In addition, ODI reviewed a scientific journal paper published in Forensic Science International in 2016 by Mr. Park et al ., as well as related test videos. ODI does not believe there is any evidence of uncontrollable SUA occurrences in any of the tests reviewed. NHTSA's Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance (OVSC) reviewed the allegations regarding the potential noncompliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 124.Based on the information provided, the Agency concludes there is insufficient information for us to determine if a possible non-compliance exists.Finally, both Hyundai and Kia informed ODI that all their vehicles manufactured after 2012 were equipped with an ETC management system, in which the engine speed will go to idle when the system sees signals from both the brake pedal and accelerator pedal at the same time; this is commonly known as the brake-throttle override system.After thoroughly assessing the material submitted by the petitioner, information already in NHTSA's possession, information submitted by Hyundai and Kia in response to an Information Request letter, and the potential risks to safety implicated by the petitioner's allegation, NHTSA does not believe that a formal investigation is warranted. After full consideration of appropriate factors, the petition is denied. A Federal Register Notice (FRN) further detailing NHTSA?s reasons for denial of the petition will be published.
