Description of the Complaint:
Was driving new elantra (1100 miles and 12 days of ownership) on highway when vehicle started sputtering and lost power no matter how much gas i fed it. Pulled over and turned off car. Restarted vehicle with difficulty and "check engine" light indicating emissions problem came on. Car seemed fine until 2-3 miles later when same symptoms (lurching, losing power) reoccured.. This happened 2 more times, each time i managed to pull off road, turned off car, let it sit and then took multiple attempts at starting before it engaged and ran very rough, with very little power. Intent was to get to a safe place to stop. Car was towed to nearest huyndai dealership (i was 150 miles from home) where they initially diagnosed bad gas. But car ran 175 miles on that tank of gas before problem occurred. Then they diagnosed bad fuel pump and replaced fuel pump. Hyundai roadside assistance was useless -- had to arrange for own tow truck -- hyundai did not offer replacement vehicle or even reimbursement for gas for me to drive back and forth to pick up my dead new car from being repaired 150 miles from home. We've not had further problems (now have 7500 miles on it) but i am on edge expecting another break-down after reading other people's experiences.Details |

Description of the Complaint:
Took a 375 mile/ 8 hour trip. New 2008 hyundai elantra w/less than 1800 miles. Upon exiting expressway, engine struggled, as if trying to shift to next gear, but bucked & hesitated. After stopped at a red light, proceded to cross busy intersection. Car puttered and stalled .Check engine light came on and stayed on. 5 failed attempts to restart but did after 9 minutes. Made it to destination. Local hyundai service center closed. Forced to attempt trip back next day. Had to drive through very heavy traffic - including the george washington bridge, and winding mountain roads in pa. Car acted up 3-4 times, each time losing speed, sputtering & bucking. While never actually stalled, could have been catastrophic. Acted worse while accelerating - sounded like engine cutting out. Dropped it off to dealership where purchased 8/10/08. Next day, informed of broken fuel pump. Being replaced with a new one - ready today, 8/14/08. After reading so many similar stories on-line, i felt i had to inform you of my incident. I believe there needs to be a recall - especially as there are so many 2008 elantras on the road. Had we needed to make an emergency escape of our stalled car, in ny traffic, we would have likely been killed trying to exit, and probably been run over by a tractor trailer had we stayed in the car. We certainly would not have been able to get our crated puppy out of the back seat, as a parent would not be able to rescue a baby in an infant seat. This is a series of tragedies waiting to happen!!!! i will still not feel confident driving my 3 1/2 month old car, as many people contine to have trouble even with replaced parts. I implore you to probe deeper in to this matter and have hyundai correct this problem...Before many people become a fatality statistic!Details |

Description of the Complaint:
Purchased a new 2008 hyundai elantra. Left the dealership with the new car and after driving about 10 miles, noticed that the car was hesitating and could not increase speed and shift to the next higher gear. The car finally shifted to the final gear and all was well for about 10 more miles; then the car started to slow down to the point where feeding gas was not helping. The car crawled to a stop at a freeway exit (fortunately) and i contacted the dealer. They arranged towing and delivered me a loaner. The fuel pump failed after only 20 miles of driving the new car.Details |

Description of the Complaint:
My 2008 elantra se which i bought in may has had two "episodes" of stalling. The first (od 1100 mi) on july 14 occurred on the freeway and began as a slight hesitation that got progressively worse such that we took the next exit and limped home on back roads. The check engine light came on and the car stalled twice before we finally made it home. The next day i was able to drive it to the dealer about 5 miles away. Their diagnosis was a bad oxygen sensor which they didn't have in stock. They said it would be ok to drive the car until the new sensor arrived. It ran fine and 3 days later i took it in to have the sensor replaced. They ran diagnostics again and said the sensor was ok and needn't be replaced. They said maybe it was bad gas or vapor lock and sent me on my way. The car ran fine until this afternoon (aug 5) when it began hesitating (od 1432 mi) on the freeway and once again i took the first exit and limped home, unable to exceed 25 mph, bucking all the way. My wife followed me to the dealer and for the last mile were unable to go over 5 mph (emergency flashers on). We never made it as the elantra shut down completely in rush hour traffic and i had to get out and push into a nearby parking lot. I called hyundai roadside assistance and had the car trucked to the dealer, only about 4 blocks away. I understand nhtsa is investigating 07-08 elantra stalling complaints and wanted to add another data point for your consideration.Details |

Description of the Complaint:
The contact owns a 2008 hyundai elantra. While turning at 15 mph, the vehicle suddenly began to lose power when the accelerator pedal was depressed. Instead of accelerating, the engine slowed down, but never lost complete power. The contact pulled the vehicle over for approximately 20 minutes and attempted to restart it, but was unsuccessful. When she proceeded to accelerate, the check engine light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact drove the vehicle back to her residence. The following day the vehicle was towed to a dealer and they stated that nothing was wrong with the vehicle; however, they suspected that the failure could have been due to the fuel quality. Through online research, the contact found numerous complaints and even an investigation on the same failure she is experiencing. The current and failure mileages were 1,115.Details |

Description of the Complaint:
On may 26 2008 my wife and i were involved in an accident. Another car ran the red light and hit us. My wife and i were injured and our car was totaled. None of the airbags went off on our brand new 2008 hyundai elantra. We were later told by hyundai that passenger airbags don't always go off because of weight variations in some adults. My wife is 5' 4" and her weight is normal for her height. Hyundai never told us of this potential problem with airbag deployment. This company should be required to inform the potential buyer limitations involving safety features! many unsuspecting people could be severely injured without this knowledge. Also this information should be given to the potential buyer prior to purchasing the vehicle not after! we purchases a second hyundai ( 2008 tucson) and this vehicle has had problems with its passenger airbag - in fact it was during this repair that hyundai informed us of the weight issue involving airbags.Details |

Description of the Complaint:
I got into my car 120 miles from home and noticed my check engine light was on. I called my dealer where i bought the car from and told them. They made an appointment for me to bring it in. I proceeded to travel back home 120 miles away and was at a light. The light changed i put my foot on the pedal and it went 5 miles and hour. I pulled over called the 800 number on the car for hyundai was told they would tow the car to the closest dealer. I had no problem with that but i wanted to know how i could get back home 120 miles. They told me the dealer should give me a loaner car. They would not because i did not purchase the car from them..I continued to try and make it home and the car broke down 30 miles into the drive. Called the dealer i got the car from and they had a tow truck come and get me. The final part of the story is that it was the fuel pump. There should be a recall. I could have killed myself and others if i did not stay in the right hand lane. Hyundai was not a pleasure to work with. I have not even had my car 30 days and it broke down.Details |

Description of the Complaint:
I have a 2008 elantra that stalled on july 21, 2008 on the new jersey turnpike when it had 3,455 miles. The car decelerated so quickly that i was almost rear ended by an 18-wheeler. A half hour earlier it nearly stalled in an intersection and almost caused an accident. The check engine light turned on approximately 10 minutes before the the intersection incident and 40 minutes before almost being rear ended by the truck. A state trooper stopped to make sure i was okay and to escort me to the toll both / exit but i don't imagine he filed a report. I push the car off the turnpike exit and had it towed to the local hyundai dealer. They diagnosed the problem as a failed fuel pump and replaced the part. There was no accident and no one was injured but the possibility of injury was very real.Details |

Description of the Complaint:
My fiancee and i recently purchased a brand new(had 7 miles on when we got it) 2008 hyundai elantra. In about the third week of ownership, we took a road trip out of state. While returning home, on the ny state thruway, the car began to shake and shudder, and lose speed rapidly. The engine light came on and i pulled over to the shoulder. After about half an hour, i tried to drive again and had the same problems. We were towed off of the thruway, then to a hyundai dealership by hra, where they looked at the vehicle for a morning. The problem was diagnosed as 'bad gas'. We were told to buy a container of dry gas and sent on our way. The car seemed to behave for about 5 days, then the next weekend i ventured out of town again in my still new car. About an hour into my trip, the car started shuddering and shaking on interstate 84. I pulled off at the nearest exit, and the car died completely. I was not in a safe location, so i tried to start it to move the car. It would no longer start. I got towed all the way home at great expense to myself, and brought the car to the dealership where i bought it. After 5 complete days of working on the car, they replaced the fuel pump. I am now reading that other people have had similar problems, sometimes with far worse consequences. I have not yet operated my new car on a highway since the fuel pump replacement, but i plan to tonight, and am quite nervous about it.Details |

Purchased 2008 hyundai elantra in mid-may 2008. Withing two weeks the car encountered problems stalling and running sluggish. First time it happened, i took it to the dealer they had an error code, said a sensor had went out. Car worked fine for less than 24 hours, i was on a major highway and the car just sputtered and wouldn't go over 5 miles an hour. I spent 20 minutes dodging traffic trying to get off the highway intersection to where i could have the car in a safe spot. Let it sit and it started back up no problems, until the next day, it just died on the road. Had it towed to the dealer, five days later they said they replaced the fuel pump. It's been a month now since the repair and haven't had any problems with the car so far, but i am crossing my fingers every time i start it up and drive somewhere.Details |

Description of the Complaint:
Purchased brand new 2008 hyundai elantra june 5, 2008. Since purchasing the car it broke down within 30 days with the check engine light coming on and the engine losing power. The dealership replaced the oxygen sensor and part of the exhaust because the sensor was seized up inside it. Within 2 days of getting the car back the check engine light came on again and the car lost power and the engine was rough. The first time it happened was in heavy traffic and during a left hand turn into oncoming traffic. Fortunately, the engine regained power and i was able to avoid an accident. The dealership now plans to replace the fuel pump. However, it is on backorder and we will probably be without the car a total of at least 30 days or more due to these repairs. We have contacted an attorney because we no longer have trust in the safety of the vehicle especially since it will be used to transport our 4 month old to day care every day. We haven't even had the car 60 days yet.Details |

I've 2008 elantra se automatic with 5400 miles on it. Yesterday my wife was driving from boston to upstate after finishing my younger one's treatment at bch. And half way through she stopped at a rest area. After pulling out from rest area the car started decelerating and it was feeling as if car was trying to shift gear but having issues. It reached up to speed of 60-65 and after that no matter how much gas she applies it wont go any further but started to decelerate. Luckily she was able to pull over on side and called hra to get car towed to nearest dealership. Just hour ago got call back from dealership stating it was issue with fuel pump and they have replaced it and car is ready for pickup. This is first time this failure happen while she was driving. We have felt couple of times while driving like car with has some kind of thrust (probably trying to change gear in automatic transmission). But this was first time when it wont take anymore gas after pushing gas pedal. It is serious issue and manufacturer needs to be made aware of it or should take some action against manufacturer.Details |

I purchased a brand-new, 2008 hyundai elantra gls on july 8. I drove the vehicle for about 100 miles from the time i drove off the lot through the end of the 24-hour new ownership period. About 24-25 hours after i bought the car, the vehicle lost power during a typical left-hand turn that i made while pulling out into an intersection. The car had about 125 miles on it. The car lost complete power in the middle of the intersection. The vehicle malfunctioned at about 5:00 pm on wednesday, july 9. I had to place the vehicle in park and restart it (still in the middle of the intersection during the malfunction). I drove the car to the nearest hyundai dealer after not being able to get towing assistance through hyundai. The hyundai service department ran tests on it for two days. They found a "misfire code on cylinder 1", but could not find how to repair the problem. The car has been transferred back to the dealer i purchased it from. It has been in the shop from wednesday, july 9 at 8:56pm until today. The car poses a danger to me and others. The vehicle lost complete power in the middle of the intersection while i was trying to drive in normal conditions. Had this happened on a busier road, i may have been hit by oncoming traffic.Details |

A week after purchasing my brand new 2008 hyundai elantra my car cut off in the middle of the road and failed to start. I luckily was able to eventually get it started in lieu of waiting a hour in the heat at rush hour for the roadside assistance. The car sputtered to the dealeship where i got a loaner. I was called today and told it was the fuel pump. I then decided to research the issue because a brand new car should not be shutting down in the middle of the road. I could not find anything from hyundai acknowledging the issue. After reading this website( http://townhall-talk.Edmunds.Com/direct/view/.F14ffd5) i realized this is a common issue facing new elantra owners that needs to be addressed!Details |

My husband and i bought 2 brand new 2008 hyundai elantra gls pzev engines on june 6, 2008. On july 2, 2008 with less than 400 miles on my husband's car he stopped in the middle of a highway going 55 miles an hour and because of him being in the left hand land there ended up a 3 car accident. My husband did not get hit, but in order to avoid him a car swerved, got rear-ended and pushed into an 18 wheeler on rte 24 in millburn nj. There is a police report because of this. It turns out hyundai know there is a fuel pump problem. Our service manager told us after road side assistant towed my husband's elantra up from nj to goshen ny. The service manager also said hyundai is aware of this problem but are not ordering a recall to have the 2008 fuel pumps changed. We called hyundai to find out why there is no recall and they said our service manager was lying about the fuel pumps. But at the same time they said korea stopped making the fuel pumps and are re-designing a new one. To date they have no idea when the fuel pumps will be shipped from korea. But they are still denying there is a problem. If you go to www.Edmunds.Com and then click on carspace discussion and type in 2008 hyundai elantra you will see people are getting stranded all over the us. Hyundai can't fix the problem but yet they are leaving these unsafe cars on the road. We had ours less than a month. My service manager said the fuel pumps are going from 5 miles to 1500 miles and that hyundai does not fix them till they go. My husband was almost killed on july 2, 2008 due to the fuel pump. I have less than 200 miles on my car and any day my car too can have the same thing happen. Please do something. Hyundai won't. All they do si tow you to your hometown and our nearest dealer because they know there is a problem. We have a police report showing my husband's car just stopped and it is the fuel pump and it is not only happening to us, it is a major problem with the 2008 hyundai elantra's.Details |

We purchased the vehicle new in april of 2008. The vehicle abruptly looses engine power, shuts down and stops. This has now occurred three times. On june 6th the vehicle broke down in traffic. It was towed to the dealer. They repaired a pvc hose that had collapsed. After picking up the vehicle the following day, the same event occurred, stranding us in the middle of a divided, heavily traveled, road. The vehicle was again towed to the dealer for repairs. This time the fuel pump was replaced. After waiting five days for the part to be delivered, i picked up the car once again. My wife had earlier noticed a very strong odor of gasoline after we brought it home. On june 19th i was out running errands with my children. The vehicle, again shut down in the middle of the road. I again had the vehicle towed to the dealer. The service manager then informed me he had just found out hyundai was having a problem with the fuel systems on their 2008 elantra models. I then called hyundai customer service to file a complaint about the vehicle. I also ask the representative to check on any recalls or campaigns against my vehicle. After checking his system he informed me that there were no campaigns or recalls registered against the car. So far this dangerous event has occurred three times in the past few days. I am very concerned for the safety of my family when we use this vehicle. So far the collapsed pvc hose and fuel pump have been replaced without correcting the problem. I just received a call from the dealership that the vehicle had no gasoline in it. I explained to the service manager that when the vehicle shutdown, the vehicle was registering 3/4 tank. Now they are checking other problems with the fuel system. I have no confidence in the vehicle. I am deeply concerned that they are unable determine the defect with the vehicle. I am also deeply concerned that if i have to use this vehicle again it will shutdown again and i or a family member may be injured.Details |

While on vacation in michigan, my spouse and i were hit by a drunk driver. We were traveling north bound on us 127 at 35mph, crossing over addison rd (in the town of addison) when the other driver crossed the road hitting us.
