NHTSA Complaint #10419379 — 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

AT MY NEXT SCHEDULED SERVICE (6K), I AM GOING TO MENTION THIS WHILE MY CAR IS AT THE DEALER, BUT IT'S HAPPENED QUITE A FEW TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT MY 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA IN APRIL. I LIVE IN FLORIDA, AND AS IT'S SUMMER I'VE BEEN USING MY BRAND NEW A/C QUITE A LOT. HOWEVER, WHEN IT IS ON AND I AM AT A STOPLIGHT (ONLY AT A STOPLIGHT OR WAITING AT IDLE WITH THE CAR IN DRIVE), WHENEVER THE COMPRESSOR CYCLES ON/OFF, MY CAR WILL SLOWLY MOVE FORWARD (AND BRAKE PEDAL SINKS A LITTLE). I HAVE TO PUSH ON THE BRAKES EVEN HARDER TO KEEP THE CAR FROM MOVING. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW TIMES WHEN I'VE ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE PEDAL ONLY SINKS AN INCH OR TWO AND IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE A/C COMPRESSOR CYCLES. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERYDAY OR AT EVERY STOP LIGHT, BUT IT HAPPENS AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK DURING MY WORK COMMUTE, AND I FIGURED IT'S WORTH MENTIONING. *TR
