I have had my car since 201. I brought it brand new. In that time, I have had to replace the tire sensors (TPMS) on my tires multiple times. They keep failing or something is wrong with the system. Even after brand new tires (and sensors) the warning fault light on the dash illuminates intermittently. Sometimes after 45 miles, it goes off. If I go on a rough road it sometimes illuminates and stays on for some time. The only fix mechanics have is to replace them every time, just for me to have the issue repeat later.

My steering wheel started making loud rattling and clunking noise. This happened when I turned or slowed down or went over a bump. It got worse very quickly. I suddenly could not steer at all. So I ran into a pole. Thankfully it wasn't another car or a person. Many people have this same issue. This needs to be recalled ASAP. It's either the pinion and rack issue or the steering wheel issue.
The airbag light on my dash came on about a month ago for no apparent reason and I had my car inspected and no codes were shown. The reason for the airbag light is still unknown and I worry that the airbag wont deploy if I get into an accident. I've heard this happening to several different hyundai elantra owners and I think there should be a solution for this common problem.
One TPMS sensor failed december 2018, now the other 3 failed in the span of the last 6 weeks. This is an important item. How do you know if the tire is really low when driving, other than a visual or an air gauge. I'm not the only one with this problem. The first time I was driving, on the last 3, the code showed on start-up
Takata recall. I bought this car from the original owner in 2016 around the time a recal for it went out and I didn't know until today. My car sometimes takes two times to actually start. I turn key and have to either hold it or stop and do it again. My car hydroplanes extremely easily compared to other vehicles. Normally it is only a second besides the time I rear ended someone with no bad weather then another while it was raining and I lost complete control and thank god no one was around me and I am used to the vehicle so I could gain control again truly a miracle. Other smaller issues I ignore.
My car highlights has went out several times and I have replaced the lights and they still goes out . And the brakes lights goes out, and now my rack pinyon is gone out. This car has cost me more money than its worth
Steering wheel clicks when moved either left or right, even when not moving.
I noticed I had to air my tire up once every few days, so I thought there was a nail or slow leak in my brand new tire, but then I had to start airing it up daily, I then took it to the tire shop, they told me I had to get a new rim because there was a crack on the inside of my rim. By the time my new rim came in I was having to air my tire up every hour. I kept the cracked rim. I was driving when I noticed it going low. It did cause a blowout on my new tire, there is no reason a 4 year old rim should have cracked on the inside. They are alloy wheels. But I had to pay almost 200 dollars for a new rim and then another 100 on a new tire after I had just bought 4 of them. There has to be a manufacturer's defect on the alloy wheels. If the rim would have happened to be on the front of my car it could have caused a fatal crash.
Both rear calipers were substantially frozen and had to be replaced. Auto has 20,000 miles.
