| 2003 | AIR BAGS:FRONTAL | I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE PASSENGER'S DID. THE DEALESHIP TELLS ME THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE I HAD MY SEATBELT ON AND THERE WAS NO WEIGHT ON THE SEAT AND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE DEPLOYED BECAUSE THE WAS NO SEATBELT ON AND THERE WAS WEIGHT ON THE SEAT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS MAKES SENSE BECAUSE THER WAS NOTHING OR NO ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS DRIVING AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SO I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND. |
| 2013 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I BOUGHT MY 2013 ELANTRA ON 7/17/12 FROM ORLANDO HYUNDAI. ON 8/4/12 WHILE DRIVING ON I-95, THE TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED INTO THE NEAREST TIRE SHOP AND HAD THE TIRE PRESSURE CHECKED ON ALL 4 TIRES AND THEY WERE ALL FINE. THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED I HAVE MY DEALERSHIP TAKE A LOOK AND POSSIBLY HAVE THEM RESET THE SENSORS. UPON MY ARRIVAL HOME, I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REASON FOR THE SENSORS GOING OFF. THE ISSUE PERSISTED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS CAUSING ME TO SPEND COUNTLESS HOURS AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY EVEN WENT AS FAR AS TO KEEP MY CAR FOR OVER A WEEK, DRIVE IT SEVERAL MILES AND REPLACE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM INCLUDING ALL FOUR TIRE SENSORS. DESPITE THIS, THE TPMS LIGHT STILL FLASHES. THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONVINCE ME THAT USB AND AUX CORDS IN MY CAR (USED WITH MY PHONE) ARE CAUSING A SIGNAL INTERFERENCE WITH THE SENSORS. IN MY OPINION THAT IS A BOGUS EXCUSE. THE CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE THE FEATURES IF THEY ARE UNABLE TO COEXIST. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ALSO ATTEMPTED TO REASSURE ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE EVEN WHILE THE TPMS LIGHT IS FLASHING. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS EITHER AS I CONSTANTLY HAVE A SAFETY FEATURE ALERTING ME TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE. I HAVE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP AND HYUNDAI HEADQUARTERS THAT I BELIEVE THIS CAR IS A LEMON ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THEY INFORMED ME THAT A CAR IS ONLY A LEMON AFTER HAVING THE SAME ISSUE FIXED 3 TIMES. THUS FAR I HAVE HAD MY TPMS FIXED TWICE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE AT ALL DRIVING THIS CAR WITH DYSFUNCTIONAL FEATURES. *TR |
