Consumer Description
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.
