I’ve had my vehicle for 3 years. As soon as the warranty went out, my AC stopped working, my floorboards got soaking wet because of it. My battery died, my key fob stopped working the week before. Today I had plans to go trade it in, and it won’t even start. I will never own a Hyundai again. It has caused the most inconvenience for me during the holiday.

The paint started peeling, dealer tried three times to fix and did a real crappy job. Tried to contact Hyundai and they won't even respond. Bought the car for the warrant, but Hyundai won't back the warranty, will never buy a Hyundai again. No support.

My only two complaints is that the electric steering is hard to adjust to. Feels stiff. The road noise and ride could improve more.

I don't really know what model I had beyond a four for but I'm guessing it was the cheapest one. The plusses first. Boys love this car. Maybe it's the Transformers type design or the shiny red color, but I got a lot of compliments on this car for the week that I had it. But after a week of driving it and many hours behind the wheel I was really happy to get rid of it. I've driven a 2205 xB for the last 11 years so I will say the Elantra was quieter and had a smoother ride, but The visibility out of the elantra was really bad. At night it was worse because various parts of the interior reflected light that was distracting. Also a lot of glare from the windows. The acceleration and the brakes were inconsistent sometimes barely responding and sometimes over responding. Twice the car accelerated on its own when as far as I could tell I hadn't changed the pressure on the gas pedal. The bells and whistles were a 50/50 of good and bad. The stereo was decent and there was an aux port and an iPod port as well as a regular USB port on the passenger side. My biggest beef was that the interior light had to be controlled manually instead of coming on when the doors were opened. I would have easily traded the cruise control in favor of an automatic light. As to comfort, there wasn't any. The steering wheel had these weird lumps right at 10 and two that made the grip uncomfortable. The wheel was so small that trying to grip above the lumps put my hands at 11 and one with barely a couple inches between. There was no place to grip on the bottom half of the wheel. I tried various hand positions in an effort to be comfortable but by the end of the week my wrists and hands were aching. As to the drivers seat, it was pure torture. There was a metal framework that ran up the left side of the seat cushion that ground into my left hip socket. All the shifting position in the world couldn't let me escape it. By the end of my road trip I was nearly in tears. I'll take the noise and rough ride of my xB any day over the Elantra torture on wheels.

Only 3 years old and already having issues

I have only been driving my car for 3 years and the "shark fin" on top of my antenna fell off in the car wash. I went to the dealership and was told they were not responsible and it was not covered under warranty. Antenna covers should not be falling off in just the car wash, obviously there is a manufacturing issue there that they refuse to own up to. The replacement was going to cost me over $300. I looked it up and this seems like a re occurring issue.I have also already had to replace the battery. They also tried to charge me way more than a battery should cost to replace it so I had to do it myself. So far in this experience the Hyundai dealership has been absolutely no help, not willing to work with you at all.
