NHTSA Complaint #10560536 — 2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

MY HYUNDAI ELANTRA HAS HAD SEVERAL ISSUES SINCE PURCHASING IT MARCH 09, 2013. CHIEF COMPLAINTS ARE MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME TO POP OFF THE SHIFT LOCK BUTTON ON GEAR SHAFT AND MY CAR STARTED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER EVALUATION AND WAS INFORMED IT WAS A RELAY SWITCH, WHICH WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. PAID $260.00 TO HAVE THIS PART FIXED AND MY CAR STILL HAS PROBLEMS STARTING. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES AND UNABLE TO START MY VEHICLE. SECOND COMPLAINT IS MY CAR IS NOT GETTING THE GAS MILEAGE IT IS SUPPOSED TO. SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS WELL. THEY INFORMED ME TO ONLY USE SHELL GASOLINE. I STILL DO NOT RECEIVE THE GAS MILEAGE I WAS PROMISED UPON PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAS ENCOUNTERED EITHER ONE OF THESE ISSUES. *TR
