My 2012 hyundai elantra would stall at stop signs and lights. It would stop and start again.. I went to hyundai to check it out and they said it was the fuel pump. The next day I was driving on the highway and turning off the highway my car stalled out and when I tried to pull over on the side of the road the brakes were hard to press. Using all my weight I got it to come to a stop. It would not crank. I tried about three times to crank it while holding down the gas. It eventually allowed me to change gears really quick and take off. I made it 5 minutes down the road to the house but it stalled as I parked. Now it won't crank at all. For the last couple of weeks I've been trying to crank it. I've had the fuel pump, the spark plugs, the camshaft sensor, and the camshaft position sensor changed and it still isn't cranking

Intermittently engine won't turn over. It will sometimes go a week or so turning over normally, & then without warning, it won't start for 10-60 min or longer according to 1000s of drivers. Last night, I was stranded for 50 min in a parking lot at night trying to get my car to turn over. Dash lights up, fuel pump goes on, but there is no crank. I filmed it https://youtu.be/nbz957tb72u it's called "hyundai elantra wont start-again. Dealership said they've never heard of this before..right." but there are 1000s of other complaints in that search. Some forums say it's a inhibitor switch. The dealership denyies such reports on hyundai's manufacturer, although many drivers say on these forums that they had to have their elantras towed to the dealership before they were told there is no problem. Helpppp me !!! It randomly turned over 50 minutes later. That cannot happen! I could be in an emergency situation. Any of these drivers could be in an emergency situation. Look at the comments on any youtube video after typing in elantra won't start. Hundreds of people stranded from this electrical malfunction hyundai refuses to acknowledge. Please read my details I typed on my video. Battery is good. I had my son with me at the lynnwood one en route to his doctor appointment after it wouldn't start for 10 min in the driveway last month. Everett I had an appointment so that will be on record. They didn't even look at it because it started when they turned the key and their online manufacturers site reported no problems and they refused to do a simple google search when I asked. There's no way the manufacturer hasn't heard of this. The examples are overwhelming. Someone is going to get hurt, if they haven't already. Major hazard to public safety. Hyundai needs to take responsibility and recall this! Please help me. It's like ford denying tranny problems in their'12 focuses.

My 2012 hyundai elantra began having acceleration problems for the past 6 to 9 months. As I step on the gas at approximately 30 to 40 MPH the automobile kicks, bucks and does not accelerate as intended. My hyundai dealer replaced the fuel pump/assembly ($700) and it seemed to get worse.failure to accelerate as expected is a danger if you are trying to enter a busy highway or trying to get out of the way of another speeding vehicle. This seems to occur at speeds up to 65 MPH when stepping on the gas. This happens on a regular basis but not every day.

I have had multiple instances where my car has trouble starting, or will not start at all. Beginning in 2012, when the car had to be towed to the local dealer (tustin hyundai - patterson's) as it wouldn't start. The dealer had the car for roughly three weeks straight, and could not find a problem, so they decided to replace the fuel pump system. Then again in february 2013, my car still had issues starting properly, and the dealer and corporate headquarters were contacted. Additionally, on october 4th, my car would not start once again, and finally, after three times, it started. It is currently at glendale hyundai for the same issue. I purchased this car brand new in 2012, and have had nothing but trouble. From the issues with starting, to my windows not rolling up. The start issue is a major problem and safety malfunction. As a young woman, I do not feel safe driving my car alone at night or long distances as I cannot count on it being reliable. Hyundai needs to issue a recall, as a simple google search brings up multiple others who have had similar issues, only to be told there is not a resolution.
