2014 Hyundai Elantra Brakes Problems

Your car caught fire while driving, with loud banging noises and smoke coming from the front of the vehicle. The engine and undercarriage became engulfed in flames before you were able to turn off the car. Mechanics discovered that faulty and damaged wiring caused the fire and engine damage.

While driving at 25 MPH and attempting to avoid a tractor-trailer, your daughter pressed the brake pedal but the brakes didn't engage, causing the car to crash into a utility pole. The front passenger side was damaged, the Traction Control Warning light came on, and the airbags didn't deploy. The brake system may need complete inspection and repair to identify why the brakes failed to respond.

Your 2014 Hyundai Elantra has a pending brake system recall (Campaign 23V651000), but the required repair parts haven't been available yet. You also noticed your check engine light came on briefly, and the dealer wasn't able to diagnose or fix it. You feel the recall has been delayed longer than reasonable, and Hyundai hasn't been informed of the warning light issue.

Your 2014 Elantra has an open safety recall (Code 251) for an ABS fuse replacement, but your local Hyundai dealership shows no available appointment slots for this recall work through 2026. You've contacted both the dealership and Hyundai Consumer Affairs, but neither will guarantee they'll schedule you for the repair. This leaves your safety recall unresolved. Getting this recall completed will require contacting the dealership's service manager or general manager directly to push for an appointment slot.

Your 2014 Hyundai Elantra is subject to a brake system recall (Campaign 23V651000), but the replacement part hasn't been made available yet. You've contacted your dealer, and while you haven't experienced any brake failure, you're frustrated that the manufacturer has taken longer than reasonable to provide the repair part. The issue appears to be a delay in getting the parts distributed to dealerships.

Access noise in car very distracting...A Bluetooth connection caused a scent of a Bursted battery The causing a gas like affect almost resorting in a car accident. I heard a internal air bag burst and could visually see the gas like connection with the Bluetooth and smart ph. And the brakes went out in mid traffic. And came with no spare tire.

My car started cutting off while driving no warning lights on. I had a diagnostic test done and they didn’t find anything wrong. I’m so confused about what’s going on with this car but it’s very dangerous to drive on the highway. I have had three service checks on my car and it still cuts off in the middle of traffic. I had my brakes and rotors replaced because everytime I hit a pot hole or bump in the road my brake pad gets hard and I can’t push it to stop but after getting them replaced it still does the same thing.
