My brake lights are not going off when I take my foot off of the brake pedal. I have had to start disconnecting the battery cable so it will not drain the battery. I stop lamp switch replaced when it was recalled. And the steering wheel tilt does not stay in the high spot it falls to the lowest position.

As I was driving, the steering wheel and brakes locked up so I couldn't steer nor brake. Luckily I was in a parking lot so I cruised the vehicle to a stop without crashing. If I had been on a road or turning, I would have crashed. No indicator lights went on. I took the car to a Hyundai dealership where they couldn't find any problems and recommended I replace the steering column. I searched online and several others have reported a similar issue.

2010 Hyundai Elantra: Recently experienced a vehicle fire. It occurred on Tuesday, December 29, 2020.. I parked my vehicle on the street per usual and maybe 15 minutes after arriving home from work my mother began yelling that was my vehicle was in flames! I opened the front door and saw it was indeed in flames and popping and smoking. I immediately called 911 whom sent out the fire department. After they were able to distinguish the fire, they determined the cause to be electrical in nature considering the battery of the vehicle was completely gone. I have the case number as well. My vehicle was turned off and parked and randomly caught fire. Thankfully I wasnt in it when it happened or things could have beem alot worse. But I am now without a vehicle and on top of that I had to pay to get the vehicle removed from my apartments property.

Eps light randomly came on again and locked my steering which is dangerous while driving on the road and parking, can't move the steering left or right. Issue has occurred before around the initial eps recall, took it then to the same dealer (sport Hyundai Dodge) where car was originally purchased to update or patch up fix. Recently went to the dealer to also fix the ABS module recall and run a diagnostic on the eps. They stated it's the steering column that needed to be replaced. A $2100 repair, which they will file with the manufacture to see if it's covered. By reading these repeating complaints, something tells me that they will continue to ignore the problem till it's in harms way instead of preventing the safety issues. Currently had to give up working hours and in financial stress over a manufacturing problem that should have been addressed correctly in the beginning.

We received a letter in regards to a safety recall on the 2010 Elantra. We own two of this vehicle. I contacted huntington Hyundai, in huntington, N.Y. to schedule the repair. As per joe santiago who answered, they are not taking appointments for this repair, and will only be accepting vehicles on a first come first serve basis Monday - Friday 9 am - 5 pm. It was explained that we may have to come back multiple times before the vehicle is accepted for repair. As a first res ponder I am still working during the outbreak and will be unable to take multiple days off from work to "try" to get the car in. They were very unhelpful and unnecessarily rude throughout the entire conversation.

My model, make and year have had recalls to rust under the carriage and underside. I had to replace my rotors due to rust. I SE that you recalled in Delaware and I'll. Due to salt. I live in the state of Virginia and we have salt. I would appreciate if you would consider my rotors as included with this recall. I am enclosing pictures and am hoping maybe to recover some of the expense that I incurred.

The car creaks when you go at a slow speed or over a hump. The steering wheel also makes a clicking or knocking sound when steering it and when you turn the car to the left or right it makes a creaking noise. When you get out of the car, it seems that it creaks once the weight is lifted. The creaking is either when stationary or when going at a low speed over humps and when turning the wheel. When driving at normal speed or doing the speed limit, you don't hear the creaking, but the steering wheel still knocks. And when putting on brakes after normal speed, the steering wheel knocks badly.

While my wife, linda, was driving less than 1-2 mph, turning into a parking space, all of a sudden, the engine started racing and leaped forward. Hitting the brakes had no effect on stopping the vehicle. She desperately turned the wheel to miss parked cars, a steel pole was hit and torn out of the ground by the runaway vehicle. Finally the car came to rest after hitting a large concrete light pole, which must have stalled out the engine. My wife was in a state of shock and had to go to the hospital for tests / xrays. Even with the seat belt on, she received major impact from the steering wheel to her chest.

My wife owns a 2010 Hyundai Elantra and the complaint I've got is about the lug nuts. I had to replace the rear brake pads, brake shoes and rotors. The first problem I ran into on this project was that the lug nuts were so rusted that the lug wrench supplied with the car wouldn't fit over them - the chrome plating on the nuts had deteriorated allowing rust to built up underneath the plating so that the wrench wouldn't fit. (I thought of those individuals who had to change flat tires on the road and wouldn't be able to get the flat tires off.) I called the dealer to see if new lug nuts were covered under warranty but they said no, that they'd give me a 'deal' of $10/nut - around $200 to replace all them on the car! I still have the rusted lug nuts on the car but carry an additional wrench that will fit over them. I did manage to replace all the parts, including rusted and warped rotors mentioned in some of the other complaints I've seen but caution anyone who plans to tackle this job to be prepared for a grueling job.
