| Hyundai Elantra Touring in Maryland, United States Oct 2011 - Apr 2012 | |||
| Feb 201249600 mi | Intermittent buzzing noise at certain speeds from headliner near front windows. Had to take it in 3 times and on the third time had a service tech ride with me so we could pin down the noise. Headliner backing finally replaced. Noise gone. E-brake handle was out of adjustment and not fully disengage when the handle was put down, causing the dash light to come on intermittently, especially over bumps or rough road. Interior hatch handle fell out. Replaced under warranty. Fell out within a week. Replaced again and so far so good. | ||
| Apr 201251000 miUS $64 | Relief valve broke within the valve stem while getting a tire replaced. Mechanic told me it was my fault for driving without the valve stem caps on because the aluminum valve becomes brittle. I didn't attempt a warranty claim. | ||
| Hyundai Elantra Touring in Connecticut, United States Sep 2009 - Jan 2011 | |||
| Oct 20094245 mi | Door locks and keyless entry stopped working, dealer told me to pull the fuse, wait 5 minutes and try again. It worked for about two weeks. Called dealer for warranty service - keyless entry function stopped working. Dealer advised me to remove PDL fuse for 15 minutes. Keyless feature resumed working. | ||
| Nov 20095691 mi | Steering wheel cover missing stitches from factory. Door locks and keyless entry, second time. Rear wiper stopped working. TMPS light, probably just reset. Warranty service for non-functional rear wiper, cover on steering wheel missed stitches/peeling, recurrent keyless entry non-operation and power door lock failure.

| Feb 201010910 mi | New steering wheel cover installed. | ||
| Jul 201019000 mi | Vehicle ran for 3 months after previous repair completed. Without warning, car would not start, keyless entry failed, and alarm and immobilizer activated upon turning key. Dealer claimed fuse was missing. Fusebox untouched other than by dlr Fuel filler door release spring failed. Part backordered. | ||
| Jan 20118000 mi | Dealer has yet to receive parts for this problem. Suspect not ordered. Living with semi-functional fuel filler door for now. Valve stem with integral TPMS sensor broke off in hand while attempting to fill tire. Nearest dealer with parts assured problem could be fixed quickly under warranty. Dlr refused svce and attempted to charge. No damage to wheel/tire. Valve stem repaired under Hyundai warranty. Sick of dealing with Hyundai North America and spotty dealer network. Sold car, took proceeds and banked most - spent rest on used Saab 9-5. I'd rather have a fun unreliable car than a boring one. | ||

Warranty service. | ||
| Nov 201018300 mi | Turns out dealer didn't really order the part as stated last time. This time they adjusted the gas cap door (as opposed to just greasing it the last time) and it has been working fine since. | ||
| Jun 201130000 mi | Tire leaking, discovered valve stem broken. Took car to the nearest non-Hyundai tire place, they yanked out the TPMS valve and chucked it. Had to take it to Hyundai and pay $200 to have new TPMS valve put in. Warranty would have covered it. | ||
| Sep 201133000 miUS $500 | Braking at highway speeds made the car shake violently. E-brake wouldn't hold well and intermittent humming noise was heard on highway. Dealer resurfaced rotors, adjusted e-brake. Also adjusted fuel door as always. | ||
