Urgent safety recall (251) for fire risk was started 3 months ago. As of 12/13/2024 there is no remedy or any timeline for remedy. owners in snow conditions (Ohio) can't be reasonably told to park their Hyundais outside in winter. Maybe I don't understand the word urgent...

What 2011 Hyundai Elantra owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I have been forced to park my car outside in case it catches on fire due to the faulty brake system that cannot be fixed. This puts my car in danger of vandalism and harsh winter conditions. This is unacceptable that Hyundai has not yet found a way to fix the dangerous brake system!!
Steering wheel clunking noise, the car tries to change direction by itself especially on wet roads, and I always trying to keep it in the same lane, the problem has been reproduced 2 weeks ago, there’s no warning lamps actually either before, I had not inspected this problem.
The problem with my vehicle are many. When im driving it throws me to the side for any dents the street has, bad control. The coils are bad. The engine block has a noise that gets louder and louder every time I turn the car.im not a mechanic but I know something wrong with my car control system.
When going at low speeds in traffic car shuts off after pressing break too much. Car shuts off in reverse. Car shuts off while making turns and hitting break simultaneously. Going over 60 MPH causes car to shut off multiple times every few minutes or even seconds. (worst was 9 times in under 2 minutes) car shuts off slowing down to red light. Had car checked numerous times by mechanics. Noone can figure it out. No code comes up when plugged into computer at autoshop. Alot of other people have reported this issue with same make and model
My brakes light stay on and it the has something to do with the electronic stability control indicator light it just started two days ago.
My car has had engine light on over one year since I bought it used, different shop tried to fix it but they can't get it ,they said it is because of vehicle bad system itself so why it shakes every single time,electrical power system is not good,the heating system was down,the fixed it a couple days from now but still it isn't working properly.the problem came in when I was driving in highway I-295 maine state.
Car jerks into reverse hard. When going down road car loses power. Just acts like its not going anywhere. Very low miles onvthis car.
While steering or making turns there is a popping sound in the steering column and a hesitation
I recently had to slam my brakes due to a driver in front of me. And right at about a month later the acceleration to my car while in drive will not go. Took it to a mechanic and its reading a couple of codes t the sensors. I saw that in a search while trying to fix the issue that it has been recalled due to the ESC. I am very upset that I was not made aware of the recall that is related to my VIN number. This happens at a parking lot near chuck e cheese on my sons birthday and I had to have it towed back home. I have not been able to use my car in a week now because we are still trying to figure out wich sensor it is and if I replace it what will even happen.
