2024 Hyundai Elantra Steering Problems

Your car is vibrating significantly at highway speeds and when braking, making it hard to control. The rear brake pads have worn down to metal-on-metal at just 35,000 miles and are wearing unevenly, while the front pads are fine — even the dealership can't explain why. The dealership resurfaced the rotors once, but the problem came back, and you didn't get any warning before the brakes failed. Fixing this will likely require a thorough inspection of the rear brake system, including the brake calipers, pads, and rotors, to find out why the wear is so uneven.

Your car becomes unstable and bouncy when you're driving it, with poor steering control and difficulty coasting smoothly. The car also experiences aggressive acceleration and braking that you can't control. You believe this issue is specific to your presence in the vehicle and may indicate a widespread safety problem that warrants professional investigation.

Your horn stopped working after you reached 10,000 miles and hasn't worked since, even though you're now at 34,250 miles. You received a recall letter from Hyundai about potential issues with your car, though you don't have the paperwork anymore. A dealer visit didn't resolve the problem. Fixing this will likely involve diagnosing the horn circuit, which may include checking the horn relay, wiring, or the horn itself.

This is a repeat incident. While driving, the speedometer stops working, tachometer, all of the collision warning systems start going through a self test, the check engine light comes on, and most concerning is the power steering. It becomes heavy, as if it is working at half power. The dealer kept the car for over a week recently, and they said that they were unable to duplicate the issue. It happened again while I was on a road trip , and I stopped by five star Hyundai in Albany ga. The service advisor was aware of similar issues have occurred on Hyundai's, but that they were too busy to look at it. She wouldn't even come out of the building to look at the car and wasn't interested in looking at my video. I tried to upload video to this form, but was unable to do so

The horn stopped working in our 2024 Elantra. This is a widespread issue (see NHTSA complaints and Reddit posts). I called ahead to verify with the San Leandro dealership that parts were in stock to perform this repair under warranty (prior to scheduling appointment). We arrived and were told that parts were actually not available (after a 3-hour diagnostic). What changed? Hyundai issued a TSB (technical service bulletin) informing dealerships of how this issue is to be repaired (designating a specific part number, while excluding otherwise qualified Hyundai parts). Without TSB, the dealership could have performed this repair under warranty with the in-stock parts. The dealership could still perform the repair, but Hyundai would not reimburse them under warranty. With a[XXX] wife, I was unable to wait and return later for the warranty to cover the repair. I paid $429 to the dealership for the repair to be done with in-stock parts. I left the dealership with a genuine & working Hyundai horn, but it was not covered by Hyundai’s warranty. Hyundai has refused to reimburse us. Two key takeaways: 1 - Hyundai is denying there is a widespread issue while secretly telling dealerships how to address it. The unpublished TSB demonstrates that Hyundai is aware of a widespread safety issue, and is failing to issue a recall. The majority of NHSTA complaints for this vehicle reference horn failure. This is a safety issue. I was involved in an accident where I could not warn another driver before the collision. 2 - The TSB is a mechanism by which Hyundai is refusing to perform repairs that should be covered by warranty. This is a violation of Hyundai’s stated commitment to customers that is not stated even in the fine print of the warranty.

Towards the end of January, my car computer was reset because the car was telling me that I needed an oil change early and the dealership told me it could just be a computer issue. I then took my car to get an oil change and full vehicle inspection on February 24th, 2 days after that on the 26th I was leaving my school parking lot when the vehicle accelerated awkwardly when I was leaving out of a parking spot, I was then able to gain control back over the speed until the vehicle again abruptly accelerated and jerked to the left sending my car over a curb, deploying the air bag, and completely totaling out the vehicle.
