2011 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Structurebody Problems

FROM PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE IN 2 PIECES AS I PRESSED HANDLE TO OPEN MY 2011 HUNDAI ELANTRA. THIS IS DOOR I RARELY USE. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SAME ISSUE OCCURS TO DRIVER SIDE DOOR? I BELIEVE MATERIALS ARE DEFECTIVE FOR PURPOSE. THE PRESENTS BIG SAFETY ISSUE IN EMERGENCY EGRESS SITUATION. ONLINE SAW OTHER HUNDAI VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM. CAR WAS PARKED UNDER CARPORT AT TIME AT MY RESIDENCE.

ON MARCH 07, 2014, MY HYUNDAI ELANTRA WAS HIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY A LARGE JEEP. WE TOOK OUR 17 YEAR OLD GRANDSON TO THE HOSPITAL TO BE CHECKED OUT BECAUSE OF A HEADACHE BUT OTHER THAN THAT THERE WERE NO INJURIES. MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP AND NOW TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. MY CONCERN IS; THERE HAVE BEEN TWO (2) FRONT AXLES PUT IN MY CAR AND NEITHER WORKED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WERE DEFECTIVE. THEY ORDERED A THIRD (3) ONE AND IT WAS DEFECTIVE. THEY DID NOT INSTALL IT. NOW THEY HAVE ORDERED THE FOURTH (4) AXLE TO INSTALL, IF IT ISN'T DEFECTIVE. IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR ALMOST 3 MONTHS. I DO NOT TRUST LUCK FOR ANOTHER DEFECTIVE FRONT AXLE. *TR

FRONT OF ELANTRA TRAVELING AT 40 MPH HIT ANOTHER CAR ENTERING 4 LANE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE.(T-BONED") THE CAR WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. NONE OF THE HEAD , FRONT OR SEAT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.

SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2011 I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MICE GETTING INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE IN SPITE OF ALWAYS CLOSING ALL WINDOWS AND DOORS. I HAVE ALSO HEARD OF A COWORKER'S FAMILY MEMBER WHO HAD THE SAME CAR AND THE SAME PROBLEM. ADDITIONALLY THERE WAS A SIMILAR COMPLAINT FILED RECENTLY WITH NHTSA (ODI ID NUMBER : 10477843). AT EVERY SERVICE STOP, I WOULD ASK IF THERE WAS ANY TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS SENT BY HYUNDAI FOR THE ISSUE. ON WED, 10/17 WHEN I GOT INTO MY CAR TO GO TO WORK, THERE WAS A MOUSE ON THE DASHBOARD INCHES AWAY FROM ME. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE AND THAT I WANTED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THEM LOCATE THE PLACE WHERE THE MICE ARE GETTING IN. I WAS AMAZED WHEN THEY SHOWED ME A LARGE OPENING IN THE METAL FIREWALL FOR THE CABIN AIR FILTER...
