NHTSA Complaint #11319150 — 2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

MY CAR IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND I NOTICED THE SHIFT STARTED TO GET STUCK HERE AND THERE. WITHIN A COUPLE DAYS AND VERY LITTLE DRIVING, I GOT STUCK AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T SHIFT AT ALL. IT ONLY HAS 31,000 MILES SO I DIDN'T THINK IT COULD BE THE CLUTCH. AFTER 2.5 WEEKS AT THE DEALER, THEY SAID IT'S NOT A RECALL BUT IS A HYUNDAI "ALERT", COVERED BY WARRANTY AND THAT THERE'S A DEFECT THAT ALLOWS DEBRIS IN WHICH JAMS THE SHIFT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REMOVED, THE SHIFTER CLEANED UP AND A PATCH KIT PUT IN TO KEEP IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. WITHIN A COUPLE DAYS AND LESS THAN 20 MILES, I LOST ALL ABILITY TO SHIFT AND THE CAR WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. IT STARTED AGGRESSIVELY JUMPING FORWARD AND BACK WITH NO CONTROL. I WAS STOPPED BY A CURB. THIS WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND I COULD HAVE HIT A PERSON! IT WOULD NO LONGER START GOT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND I'M AWAITING AN ANSWER.
