Got my 2011 hyundai elantra in 2017 at 94k miles. Air bag light is continuously illuminated, ESC light had been on for approx. 6-8 weeks. Also, none of the controls on the steering wheel work. None of the controls have worked since I got the car. No cruise control, I can't reset my trip odometer, I can't control the volume for my radio, nor can I control the bluetooth for my hands free usage. Was told by dealership that there would be a fee to have this problem looked at, but saw a hyundai mechanic by chance in a gas station and was told that my clock spring could be faulty. This is an issue, especially for commuters like myself. Also, mpg has drastically decreased. Was getting almost 35 mpg, now it's only about 25 mpg.

In may 2014 while utilizing the cruise control,applying the brakes did not disengage the cruise control even while my husband was braking to decrease speed as we were entering bastrop, tx on hwy 71. It took us by surprise, and my husband finally managed to bring the car under control by pressing the cruise control disengage button on the steering wheel. I took our vehicle to the dealership where we purchased the car, and the dealership replaced the brake light switch. On sunday, nov. 27, 2016, we were using the cruise control while we were traveling southbound on hwy 79 approaching hearne, tx. The car in front of us slowed, and my husband braked to slow down as well, but it seemed that the car actually sped up. He looked down to be sure that he hit the brake and not the accelerator. By the time he looked up, we were about to hit the vehicle in front of us. He hit the brakes harder, and the car seemed to speed up again. My husband swerved to the left to avoid hitting car in front of us, but there was another vehicle next to us in the lane to our left. Fortunately, the drivers of the other vehicles managed to swerve to the right and to the left so that we had room to pass between the two vehicles. Our brakes were squealing, but the car was not slowing down. Finally my husband managed to disengage the cruise control and pulled off the road so that we could collect our composure. I returned to the hyundai dealer in round rock on november 29. The service manager told me that my vehicle was no longer under warranty, so I would have to pay to have the issue fixed. I know that hyundai and kia have had recalls for defective brake light switches on other models, model years, and I believe that this is a continuation of the same type issue with my vehicle. It is truly a safety issue, and I think that hyundai should fix this again on my vehicle at no charge.

2011 hyundai elantra. Lawyer writes regarding notice of claim under the lemon law on behalf of clients *tgw the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer for a routine oil change. When the consumer returned to retrieve the vehicle, the dealer informed him, they damaged the vehicle and it would not start. The problem was determined to be the ECM. Three months later, the dashboard warning lights would blink off and on randomly. As a result, there was no way for the consumer to know if the oil pressure, RPM's, tire pressure or engine temperature were within safe limits. The cruise control and miles per gallon did not work either. Also, there was no way to tell if the ABS was working. The problem seemed to be the ECM once again. When the consumer retrieved the vehicle again, from a different dealer, he was informed that the wrong computer module had been installed in the vehicle. Apparently, the computer for a vehicle with an automatic transmission was installed; when the vehicle had a manual transmission. Once the consumer left the dealership, the warning lights malfunctioned again. The vehicle was returned to the dealer again.
