• Recall 74630 [USA]: The front passenger air bag could deploy in crashes in which it should not deploy, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant from the deployed air bag.
  Hyundai is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 elantra vehicles manufactured from july 14, 2006, through november 1, 2008. The front passenger seats in the vehicles contain a weight sensor designed to deactivate the right frontal airbag when occupants of certain weights occupy the seat. The electrical connector for the weight sensor is located under the center console, between the front seats. Under certain circumstances the connector could become contaminated and malfunction such that the front passenger airbag will deploy regardless of the weight of the occupant.
  dealers will install a protective cover over the weight classification system connector to prevent contamination. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expecting to begin during april 2011. Owners may contact hyundai's customer assistance center at 1-800-633-5151.

• Recall 76106 [USA]: A higher pressure deployment than intended increases the risk of injury resulting from airbag deployment.
  Hyundai is recalling certain model year 2007-2008 elantra vehicles manufactured from july 14, 2006, through august 29, 2007. The driver's seat track position sensor determines the seat's fore and aft position and allows the driver's frontal air bag to deploy at the pressure appropriate for that seating position, with a lower pressure deployment in the most forward seating positions. The air bag control module may receive an unstable electrical signal from the seat track position sensor such that, in a crash that requires driver frontal airbag deployment, the driver's airbag may deploy at the higher pressure than intended if the seat was position in one of the forward positions in which a lower pressure deployment is intended.
  dealers will reprogram the air bag control module free of charge. The safety recall is expecting to begin during april 2011. Owners may contact hyundai's customer assistance center at 1-800-633-5151.
  hyundai's safety recall campaign number is 100.Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.Safercar.Gov .

• Recall 2015089 [Canada]: Steering
  Certain vehicles equipped with electric power steering (eps) may experience a sudden loss of power steering assist that could occur at any time while driving.

• Engine stalling - fuel pump failure investigation # PE08044

  On august 19, 2008, hyundai submitted a defect information report to nhtsa concerning fuel pump failure resulting in engine stall in approximately 65,000 model year 2008 hyundai elantra vehicles with 2.0 liter beta engines produced from november 5, 2007, through june 28, 2008 (nhtsa recall no. 08v-429, hyundai campaign 086).The recalled vehicles are equipped with fuel pumps manufactured with upper body components from a different supplier than those manufactured prior to november 5, 2007.According to hyundai, the new suppliers upper body components had incorrect dimensional characteristics resulting in misalignment of the armature shaft, which caused some of the fuel pumps to experience poor brush-to-commentator contact conditions that could result in engine stall. The use of ethanol blend fuel, containing up to 10 percent ethanol, causes a film build-up that creates high resistance between the brush and commutator.The misaligned armature shaft prevents the brush and commutator from making sufficient contact to overcome the high resistance film build-up, therefore producing less pumping pressure than required to supply the fuel injection system. Sixty-four of the complaints (72%), including the crash and injury allegation, involve the recalled vehicles.The complaint rate in the subject vehicle population is 98.5 per 100,000 vehicles, compared with 21.4 in the remaining population, which has on average been in service over a year longer.The warranty claim rate is also significantly higher in the recalled vehicles, which had 569 claims (0.9 percent claim rate) compared with 126 claims in the remaining population (0.1 percent claim rate). Hyundai will replace the fuel pump subassemblies in the recalled vehicles free of charge.This preliminary evaluation is closed with hyundais recall.

When i am driving the vehicle all of a sudden it will jump back really fast and the check engine will go on and if i continue to drive the vehicle it seems like i'm putting pressure on the gas for it to go but then once i turn off the vehicle the check engine light will all of a sudden be gone. If i drive the vehicle again the problem won't happen right away it will be some time before it happens again all of a sudden.

I was laying on the couch asleep and woke up to a sound almost like firework going off looked out my window and saw the entire front end in flames. Car hadn't been driven since 6pm that night. Noticed fire around 12am.

The eps light will flash repeatedly on and off while stationary and driving causing loss of power steering. Restarting the vehicle fixes it temporary.

My car wouldn't start and hissed when it did king hyundai said "hissing was the condensation because it hadn't been driven for so long" (3 years - just went out and started it once in a while). Kh told me after extensive checking & videoing the underside of car (they sent me video) that it was the battery. It died on the way home ! And then: - kh misdiagnosed my car three times ! - head gasket now - kh told me they took "several test drives" yet the mileage in & the millage out on their invoice was exactly the same ! - took over a month to give me estimate - will not return my calls (30+ calls) to the service manager - dealer manager failed to return my calls also - even though hyundai customer care dept themselves suggested the dealer honor the 100,000/10 year warranty - kh refused ! - kh had put an erroneous lien on the car the day of purchase and it took me over a month to have removed - please note: my mother bought the car new from this same dealer - i was with mom and she wrote them a check for the full purchase price. Kh convinced mom to allow them to put lien on the car which kh told us would be immediately removed so they could get the financing bonus or whatever they call it. So when i went to sell the car earlier this year (mom passed away as well as my sister in boca raton and i'm trying to orchestrate this from california where i live ) and i had to get a duplicate title the lien was right there !!! Long story short it took me over a month to have erroneous lien removed so i could even get the title ! The kh denied putting the lien on (remember i was there) and when i called the lien holder - they also denied ever putting it on - blah blah blah. It took me dozens of phone calls to get to the bottom of this - please help me! And this is the short version !
