How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? This recall states that at any moment my engine can catch fire and that I cannot drive the vehicle until further notice. What am I to do in the meantime for basic needs like driving to work, groceries, kids, etc.?
Brake failure caused by corrosion on rear brake lines. Also significant corrosion on front crossmember. There appears to be a recall in Canada for brake lines but I don't see one in the US.
The car was driven by my family. They narrowly missed a collision with another automobile. The breaks went out. The car was taken to a repair garage and, upon inspection, found the break line was rusted completely into allowing the break fluid to escape. I had the car towed to a Hyundai dealer in Clearwater Florida and got the same report. Hyundai has a service recall for underbody corrosion and has recalled nearly 300,000 vehicles in Canada to replace this problem. But now Hyundai is telling me this isn’t covered by them. This is a server safety problem with no brakes and a possible gas line explosion. I would like this problem correct before possible lives are destroyed. I hav email correspondence to back up this claim. Hyundai case number [XXX]. MARCH 14, 2023 — A Hyundai brake line recall involves more than 295,000 vehicles because the brake lines under the vehicles can corrode, fail and leak brake fluid. A driver may suddenly find out their brakes aren't working correctly, or maybe not at all. The current Hyundai brake line recall has been announced for Canada only and includes these models and model years. 2011-2016 Hyundai Elantra 2011-2016 Hyundai Equus 2009-2014 Hyundai Genesis 2010-2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2013-2018 Hyundai Santa Fe 2010-2011 Hyundai Tucson 2012-2017 Hyundai Veloster Transport Canada didn't announce more details about the brake line leak recall, and to date a Hyundai brake line recall has not been announced for U.S. vehicle owners. Hyundai didn't say when the brake fluid leak recall will begin, but Hyundai dealerships will inspect the underbody brake lines and apply an anti-corrosion treatment. However, it's possible Hyundai may need to replace the brake lines. Canadian owners who have questions about the Hyundai brake line recall should call [XXX] and ask about Transport Canada recall number [XXX].

Start out brake pedal is very stiff and have to push pedal to much to engage gear selector, then as you are driving when let off accelerator pedal vehicle slows down to fast like something is engaging the brakes on the rotor.
The same issue that caused recall of these vehicles for several models years, such as this campaign: 2013-2014 Hyundai Elantra (MD/UD, JK, GD) Brake Pedal Stopper Replacement (Recall Campaign 170), is occurring in this 2012 vehicle, which does NOT yet have this recall. The Brake Pedal stopper Pad has deteriorated. I am reprinting the language of the above referenced recall as it exactly explains the safety issue with this vehicle. "The brake pedal stopper pad can deteriorate allowing the brake light switch plunger to remain extended when the brake pedal is released. This will allow the brake lights to remain illuminated continuously. It can also allow the shift lever to be moved without depressing the brake pedal, or activate the engine management brake pedal override feature."
I honestly believe I was ripped off for this vehicle I’ve been having to replace one thing after another since I’d gotten it. The brake system on the front passenger side seems to keep grabbing when I’m not even touching the brake. every time I change the brakes only the front passenger side gets worn down way more then the others. I was thinking it was brake drag, but I litteraly greased my brakes and guide pens then it started making the squeeking noise again when I wasn’t touching the brake. It also compromises my engines functions. my engine lags out and I have a feeling it’s putting more torque into the engine and transmission than it was supposed to, and now is causing problems in them. It causes safety issues because the brakes are one of the most important systems on a vehicle it can cause me a bad accident if the caliper becomes to worn from heat damage, because it excessively is putting pressure on it. I haven’t taken it to the dealership to recreate the issue yet, but I did mention it in the very beginning because I had suspicions of my vehicle having problems, but they said they couldn’t find anything when they ran the vin. They didn’t actually test my vehicle which was what I needed. My check engine light has been on.
1 month after purchasing the car brakes messed up then rodors then bearings. Airbag and engine light came on and wheel light. I put over 1000 and $200 in this car within four months
Each time I hit the brakes then release I hear a clicking sound from the brake paddle that makes me nervous that something may be wrong. This happens every time I use the breaks when driving.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 hyundai elantra. The contact stated that while driving and then depressing the brake pedal, it went to the floorboard causing the distance to be extended.

Brake lines get corroded by the holding bracket screws probably because of not water resistant type of metal and start leaking.
Stability control malfunction, I lose control and the brake applied unexpectedly and the crash my car I am ok but I have damage in my car. I went to dealer for this recall and they did not fixed now I dont know if they are going to pay for it
After about 60,000 miles all of my exterior lights are constantly going out completely. Within the last six months I have changed my brake lights at least 8 times. My head lights have been changed about four times and my high beams both went out at the same time. One day I was driving on the inner state and all my back exterior lights went out. Some days they may work if I have the lights position in the on position instead of automatic daylight position and vice versa. This started happening roughly around the end of 2017 and over time it has gotten worse.this is very unsafe to operate a vehicle and all your lights go out not to mention its expensive to continue to replace bulbs that won't work beyond a month.
Grinding noise when applying brakes in 2012 hyundai elantra after just 22000 miles. Mechanic smooted rotors but said the calipers are not functioning properly and it would happen again. Happened a few months later and in checking online found literally thousands of similar complaints. Most of us are concerned that the brakes can't possibly be functioning properly. In particular I try to leave a great distance just in case a sudden stop is needed and the brakes don't work like they should. Every person on the forum is getting the same line from the hyundai dealers, it's your rotors and pads, not covered by warranty, we are replacing our rotors and pads only to have them ruined within a few months. My independent mechanic (not affiliated with the hyundai dealer) insists that the calipers are the problem, they are not functioning properly and are ruining the rotors and pads. The calipers just happen to cost $700 for the part alone, and I'm sure labor would be steep. In addition, if it was the calipers, those would be covered by our warranties. It really appears that hyundai has bad brake calipers on it 2012 and 2013 elantras and they are unwilling to acknowledge the problem and perhaps are hoping to put us all off until the calipers are no longer under warranty. My concern is there are a lot of us out there driving around like this and what happens when an urgent stop is needed and the brakes don't function properly. This could have very dire consequences.
