The car will not start once it is turned off. It could start once and go to the store, and then lock up for a few hours. Eventually it will act normal again ad then start all over again.

My 2012 Hyundai Elantra would not start this morning and this was the third time this has happened starting in May 2014. I hit my door unlock on my key fab and the doors unlocked from here I proceeded start my car. Everything started but the car. I turned back to the starting position and tried again same results. I waited a few minutes and tried again amazingly it started. What is going on with my car" this has happen before the first time called a tow truck driver and by the time he arrived it started. This was followed by a visit to North county Hyundai in carlsbad, ca. Of course the dealership found nothing wrong. Again what is wrong with my car"

The car just wouldn't start, it worked fine the previous evening and it locked as well. Today morning nothing works, I had to manually open the car with the key, after I placed the key in the ignition nothing lighted up on the dashboard. Tried multiple times.

Whenever I try to turn on my car everything turns on except the engine. The lights and everything are fine. The battery tests fine. I have been to the dealer 3 times and they say nothing is wrong with it. It has not started approximately 15-20 times. Based on accounts from others with the same vehicle who have had this problem the engine has also stopped in the middle of driving. Thankfully the issue has only ever occurred when my car is parked, but I'd really rather not risk it happening on the road in rush hour traffic.

The car intermittently will not start. Initially, it would spontaneously start after about 5 minutes of waiting. Later, it would not start until you'd wait about 3 hours. Been in the shop, where I purchased it new, about six times for the same problem. I have to have the car towed in. They say they have no idea how to fix the problem. If this problem happens at night, and I'm stuck in my rural town or at my urban office, my very life is at stake. And I can't get the dealer to fix or replace this lemon.

The vehicle has the same problems described in the 2011 recall with the brake switch. My cruise control sometimes does not work and 3 times has cut off on its own. It will not cut back on till vehicle is pulled over and stopped. I was told the problem could not be reproduced but its happening more frequently and im not satisfied with either cocoa beach or melbourne dealer. I have a recurring clutch pedal issue as well and do not trust their technicians any longer. I will just drive the car till it leaves me stranded or in a wreck. Westland Hyundai however has never had a repeat repair. Im not sure why their techs are so much more reliable. Wish I still lived in Utah to have my issues resolved.

I have the 2012 Elantra and from the day we bought it I noticed it was hard to drive in a straight line out on the highway thought it was just me because my wife never said anything about it then I started seeing complaints from other people online I agree it is a safety issue and hyundia needs to take care of the problem. Also lately when U try to restart the car after sitting sometimes it will not start unless U press on the gas pedal its been in the dealer shop two times (busted strut and was popping in frontend) and the can not find anything wrong with it as far as the steering I know its not the tires or the alignment just had new tires installed and realigned.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled causing all of the warning lights to illuminate. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the failure. The dealer replaced the computer's electrical system but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified and a claim was filed. The failure mileage was 3,010 and the current mileage was 6,000.

Almost every time I have started the vehicle and placed in drive from reversing out of my driveway, the vehicle jolts and seems that transmission is lagging or changing gears abruptly. The service engine light went on and I had made an appointment. When I took it in for inspection, the dealer said they could not recreate what I was talking describing. In addition, when I drive the power steering has had some issues. It has never drove in a straight line after two alignments. And it can be tough to turn the wheel. When I contacted the dealer about how I hear a clunking sound when driving over bumps, he test drove it and was confirmed that he agrees that there is clunking noise, but said he cant pinpoint it and it will have to get worse before he could tell.

When I accelerate and every time the gear changes, the car would jolt as if I went over a speed bump. It's really uncomfortable when the car jolts while I accelerate, but the real problem is when I'm applying the brakes. The car would jolt and the speed would increase which nearly caused several accidents. I currently have about 13,000 miles and purchased this vehicle about 1.5 years ago. Within that time, the ignition wouldn't start. I would ignite the car and the car would eventually die on me. People said it might be the spark plugs, transmission or even the battery. However, it didn't make sense because the car was purchased only a couple of months before that incident. I never even wasted my battery in any way either. What if the car decides to turn off while I'm on the freeway? I can't afford that to happen.

Car lurched, engine shut off. Car became uncontrollable and all the warning lights on the dash lit up. Eventually managed to get to side of road where the transmission locked into place. Electrical system was still functional but car was completely unresponsive. Occurred again 800 miles later after "repair" both incidents nearly caused accidents.
