Owner of a 2007 Hyundai elantra (<20,000 miles). Brought it in to dealership 3x for airbag light being on. Now found out the dash and floor wiring harness need to be replaced due to cupholder leaking condensation onto wiring harness and shorting it out, thus disabling the air bag system. Not covered under Hyundai warranty. Exact same problem that was issued a recall for in 2001 Hyundai elantra model "Hyundai is recalling certain my 2001 elantra vehicles. If a liquid is spilled in the area of the cupholder on the center console, it may seep through the console opening for the parking brake lever and then drip onto the air bag control module electrical connector. The spilled liquid may contaminate the air bag control module and its electrical connector to the air bag wiring harness and cause

Key gets stuck in 2007 Hyundai elantra. It will turn off the engine and power to dashboard but it cannot be released from the ignition. It is constantly stuck in the ignition releasing sporadically or when the battery is completely drained because the key is always in. I have taken it in to the dealer who says they have replaced the cylinder and switch. Problem still occurs and is draining my battery. The dealer says they won't do anything more because it costs them too much and Hyundai in s. Korea won't reimburse them. *tr

My car spontaneously catch fire on its own. The car parked on my front yard for at least 3 hours. It went aflame, the whole engine was destroyed. Every thing caught on home security camera.

Left side headlight has short in it. I have had to replace the bulb 4 times in one month and now a new one doesn't even work. *tr

A friend driving behind me noticed my brake lights not working when approaching a red light. When we parked we tested them and none of the rear brake lights work. I do not know how long my brake lights have not been working but it is a major safety issue considering I drive in rush hour traffic in a city daily. There is currently a recall (campaign 09v122000) that I would have expected to include the 2007 Hyundai elantra that I drive, but it appears that my particular VIN is not included (yet). I am also bothered that I had to do all this research. When the car dealership and the Hyundai customer service entered my VIN, this recall doesn't even show up as a possible inclusion. I understand my vehicle was not part of the recall but considering other vehicles of my make, model, and yea

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Hyundai elantra. The contact stated that both the driver and passenger side sun visors would not remain secure in the upward position. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 97,000.

Both the driver's side and the passenger's side sun visors fell completely off while I was driving (this happened three weeks apart). Because there is a vanity light in each visor, the wires broke when the visors fell. The bare wires touched and shorted out my electrical system. It's not under warranty anymore, but it seems as though this must be some kind of manufacturing defect since it happened to both visors! *tr

Yet another door handle has fallen off my 2007 Hyundai elantra! This is #4. This vehicle is only 4 yrs old, and yet 4 of the door handles have broken off. The prior complaints I have filed have been 10400898 and 10280729. I am really disgusted with how Hyundai is treating this. Hyundai tells me that it happened because of the cold. 2 of the door handles fell off in winter months of december and february. 2 fell off in the summer months of july and august. When I mentioned this, they backtracked and blamed me for ripping them off... I am a 150 lb, 47 yr old woman. I do exercise, but I am not a gorilla! I've never had any other vehicle loose a single door handle, let alone 4 of them! I am upset that I am blamed instead of them looking and researching the problem! I am no
