Elantra ES 4 Cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 3,000 miles

Got the car brand new and had to wait for it due to flooding. When I did finally get my new car I was excited for the first two months then the issues started. First the engine would pick up on it's on and idle hard at lights and act like it was going to go on its own. I took it in and was told nothing was wrong with the car it was basically in my head. The car did good for a couple more months then it did it again so I AGAIN took it back but of course they found no problem. I just let it go cause nothing major was happening it was more or less annoying. I had barley had the car a year when the battery went out in it and Hyundai stated that was what caused all the isues to begin with. I got that taken care of and a few months later it started again and the check engine light was coming on as well. The issue is only getting worse and more violent and Hyundai wont do anything about it. I wanted to get a different vehicle or money back and nothing. I have stated I wont pay another dime until issue is resolved and have gotten no where. This is by far the worst car ever made at least that I have seen. They need to resolve this issue. I shouldn't have to worry about a car that is only 2 years old passing inspection or not this early on in the game.

Elantra Sport 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1 miles

STUMBLES (No Acceleration for 2 to 4 seconds) sometimes. when turning, lane changing, or on loop to merge onto freeway. Dealer "can't"? fix (in twice), everything "normal". But everything is not "NORMAL". It's a VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I WORRY CONSTANTLY about not being able to get out of someones way & my wife and/or I DYING in an accident. I'm VERY sorry I bought this car. I think it's only RIGHT that I PUBLICIZE this DANGEROUS CONDITION further on the INTERNET and elsewhere, so as to possibly PREVENT SOMEONE from being injured or DYING due to this condition. I believe a "BUYER BEWARE" may be appropriate for this brand...
