I have had a ton of issues. My blind spot sensors only work occasionally. (I actually know someone else with a Hyundai that is having the same problem). Additionally, sensors go off at random. I have had the warnings for flat tire pop up multiple times when there was no flat tire. One of the tones my steering wheel actually locked up and I was unable to drive. I have also had issues with my radio screen and the radio playing. My push to start button also has issues. Sometimes it will not turn the whole car off. They replaced something in the bottom but it is still happening. Today it actually had a hard time starting. This has been happening since I got the car. I've had it less than a year and it has been to the shop a couple dozen times. This happens at all times both when I'm moving and not moving depending on the issues. It has also happened when I was driving slower and faster. My screen has also frozen and I have been unable to use it. Both in motion and parked. P

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. While reversing the vehicle, the back up camera became inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (gerald Hyundai, 209 hansen blvd, North Aurora, il 60542), but the failure was unable to be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact also stated that the vehicle would intermittently start and then turn off, and the driver and passenger windows failed to operate correctly. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer where it was diagnosed that there were failures with the engine bracket mount and electrical system. The vehicle was repaired. While driving various speeds, the steering wheel seized. The vehicle was returned to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the mdc bolt needed to be replaced; however, the dealer recommended that the steering column be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified and informed the contact that they would assist by deducting one vehicle payment. The failure mileage was approximately 4,200.

The car hesitates, jerks and pulls at the acceleration moment when stoped. Foor instance im ligths or traffic jams. It causes a completely lost of power and terrible shaking. This happens after 20mins drive and the goes for the rest of the day, it is more evident driving in city.
