Hyundai Canada refuses to replace the faulty ESC (Electronic Stability Control) module, which is also linked to the electrically assisted steering, and has been a subject of a Recall on Elantra models (although curiously, mine does not seem to qualify for some arcane reason) such as the Touring. When starting the vehicle, or even while actively driving, the ESC (identified by a yellow warning light in the gauge cluster) disengages , resulting in sudden loss of steering assistance (which could easily result in a crash by unsuspecting drivers). My ESC would do this, and restarting the vehicle would usually reset it. However, this step no longer worked for me at the time of the airbag recall. This issue first manifested itself in 2012, but didn’t return until just before the expiration of my 5-year warranty, at which point the dealer reflashed or reprogrammed the part. I reported the problem to Hyundai Canada, but was refused an out-of-warranty repair or replacement, even though I provided them with a link to a recall article (clearly identifying the models affected by the recall) for this very problem published by Global News. The light was permanently on, and steering effort increased dramatically for that period of time between the issue’s re-manifestation and the recall servicing of the airbag. Upon picking up the vehicle from the Hyundai dealer after the airbag recall replacement/repair, I noticed that the ESC warning light was off, and that the steering effort was back to normal. As this issue re-manifested itself yet once more last month (I reset it by switching off the car and starting it back up), I can only assume that the Hyundai dealer re-flashed the unit. This was not mentioned in the copy of the recall repair report given to me by the dealer upon picking up my car.

Front, passenger-side top plate was replaced due to a design flaw in the materials used, resulting in corrosion and incessant noise. The rear, passenger-side lower suspension knuckle bushing was replaced due to its cracked sleeve, which was making noise. Furthermore, a refrigerant top-up (12 fluid oz.) was required for the a/c (the only maintenance required to this system since purchasing the vehicle new) in order to bring its performance back up to specs. Total cost of parts and labor: $400 CAD.
