NHTSA Complaint #10550151 — 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN JUNE 2011 AND THERE HAVE BEEN THREE SEPARATE TIMES THAT MY CAR WILL NOT START. THE FIRST TIME WAS A FEW MONTHS AFTER I FIRST PURCHASED MY CAR. I WENT TO START MY CAR IN THE MORNING AND IT WOULD NOT CUT ON. AFTER LETTING IT SIT FOR THE DAY I TRIED IT AND IT TURNED ON WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED SEPTEMBER 2013. I WENT TO START MY CAR IN THE MORNING. IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT TURN OVER. I LET IS SIT FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS AND EVERYDAY I WOULD TRY IT AND IT STILL WOULD NOT START. I FINALLY HAD IT TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALER NEAR ME AND THEY RAN TESTS AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK FINE AND WAS TOLD THE CAR STARTED FOR THEM WITH NO PROBLEM AND I PROBABLY DIDN'T PUSH IN ON THE CLUTCH ALL THE WAY. EVEN THOUGH THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER ALSO TRIED IT AND WOULD NOT START FOR HIM TOO. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED. CAR WOULD CRANK AND NOT TURN OVER. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND SAW FROM ANOTHER HYUNDAI OWNER THAT THEY HAD TO PUMP THEIR GAS PEDAL TO GET THEIR CAR TO START. ONCE I TRIED THAT THE CAR STARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THIS TIME I DROVE IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND ONCE AGAIN ALL TESTS CAME BACK FINE AND THEY CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM. *TR
