2012 Hyundai ELANTRA
  • Date of Incident: Aug-18, 2023
  • Date complaint filed: Sep-21, 2023
  • Failed components: STEERING and UNKNOWN OR OTHER

It started around a month ago it's a thumping clicking sound in my steering wheel it's getting worse everyday when driving on the road and i hit a bump in the road it wants to jerk out of my hands it's very hard to drive and keep from swerving around it sometimes feels like it's trying to stick or lock up i fear for my life and others life as well. I do know if it locks up it will cause me to lose control and wreck my car possibly ending in death for myself or others out on the highway. My horn doesn't work and i don't know if steering is the cause of that. I don't have any warning light that come on to check anything except the tire pressure light stays on and they are new tires. I keep a check on my car to keep it serviced and everything my tires aren't low at all i checked my oil on a daily basis and it read no oil on the stick so 2 quarts were added then i keep checking to see if i have an oil leak and there isn't one. I have spoken with multiple mechanics and have been told that unless they get into tearing it down and looking at it they couldn't give me an exact solution, but sounds like either an intermediate steering shaft or a steering coupler bushing (mdps) i have spoken with a dealership that stated there is no recalls but calling the recall number i have multiple ones. But haven't seen any on the steering. I have no documentation on manufacturer dealings or anything else.

2013 Hyundai Sonata
  • Date of Incident: Sep-13, 2023
  • Date complaint filed: Sep-21, 2023
  • Failed components: ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, and FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The car continues to have inconsistent acceleration, hesitation, and sometimes lurches forward. On two occasions, the car felt like it was just going to turn off while driving. I was driving about 75 mph on i295 and driving about 15 mph on a residential road during the second occurrence. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I feel as though i am not in complete control of the acceleration but am mostly concerned with the car stopping on it's own. I am very scared i'm going to be hit by the car(s) behind me. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? I have an appointment in october for the car to be evaluated by a dealer. I hope it doesn't happen again before then. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? The only time a warning lamp came on was during the second episode when the car felt like it was going to turn off; the engine light came on and immediately off.

My car has an engine oil leak that has been happening for over a year now since i bought it. I have to change my oil every 2,000 miles because of the leak, when ive been told this car should be changing its oil for every 7,000 miles. My passenger door no longer opens from the outside once my car is unlocked. I have to put my window down in order to get inside and this is a safety hazard.
