As I was turning onto a main road in my town my vehicle stalled out. I was not pressing on the brakes or the gas, just coasting into the turn. Lights came on my dashboard and I lost power completely. This is not the first time it happened, but the this was the scariest place it occurred at. I called hyundai and they referred me to my local dealer, but I'm not optimistic about the results. Definitely came close to causing an accident. I did have my pregnant friend in the car. We were the only passengers.

My hyundai elantra 2007 stalls randomly sometimes upon starting the car or at traffic stop. The eps light comes on and I lose control of the vehicle. When I turn off the car and start it again, it works normally. It used to happen in parking lots while starting earlier. Last week it stalled in the middle of a traffic stop. I had to turn off and start the car again in the middle of the road to move. I had taken my car to the dealer with this problem last year. The car was still under 5 year warranty at the time. The dealer told that there is no problem with the car after investigating and that they were not able to recreate the issue. I am extremely concerned after reading other similar complaints on the federal safety agency website as well as on the internet on the same issue where car stalls after eps light comes on. I also saw that there was a recall for 2008 elantras for stalling where fuel pump was replaced. My car's model year is 2007. I am scared that this could also happen in the middle of a highway while driving which is extremely dangerous.

When turning the steering wheel to make a turn or when backing out of a parking stall and then pulling forward you will randomly get a popping sound coming from the steering column area. You can also feel a light pop. The vehicle has been took to the dealer, for them to check but they said they could not find anything. The last time the service tech said, he did hear a small pop but it was so light he would not be able to find it. So he tighten the bolts for the steering column. However now the noise is happening more often. The problem first started when the car had about 50k miles on it. I took the car into the dealer a few times for the same problem the first time they look at it and said they could not find it. I re took the car in about a month later and this time the tech did hear it when we went for a test drive but he told me he would not be able to find it and to bring it back in later. When I did they said it would be a charge to relook at it because its been in before for the same problem. Now it have been about a year since I last took it in for this but now it is doing it more often and loader when it does do it. Also the air bags light turned on and would not reset. But after moving the steering will tilt the light then reset and stayed off.

I was driving to work on the highway at very slow speeds. At one point, I was coasting and the car stalled, turned off. I coasted off the shoulder of the road, waited for a few seconds and restarted the car. In weeks past, I had noticed the car sputtering and rocking at very low speeds on my commute home.

2007 hyundai elantra - I recently saw on the national news that there is concerns about the safety of the 2007 - 2008 elantra due to possible fuel pump stalling in traffic. I want to report the same thing happened to us about 60 days after purchasing the automobile. My wife was nearly creamed on the interstate by a semi-truck when the vehicle just died.
