“Car cut off while driving. Was able to restart but I fear that this will occur again. I have taken the car to a near by car repair shop, not hyundia because I fear the car might turn off again on the express way to hyundia. The master mechanic hooked up my car to the diagnostics and it is a fuel pumpissue. With so little miles this is concerning.”
NHTSA complaint #10425802, filed 2011-09, 35,000 miles“Was driving very slowly on college campus looking for parking space as I have done every time I go to the office for 45 years when suddenly the Hyundai Elantra accelerated at very high rate and rolled over upside down. Airbags deployed and I was rushed to the hospital. Windshield and front of roof collapsed from rollover! I absolutely did not press down the gas pedal by mistake. I am sure. This could very likely killed anyone walking or driving in front of this crazy car.”
NHTSA complaint #11011407, filed 2017-07, 56,275 miles“2007 Hyundai Elantra - I recently saw on the national news that there is concerns about the safety of the 2007 - 2008 Elantra due to possible fuel pump stalling in traffic. I want to report the same thing happened to us about 60 days after purchasing the automobile. My wife was nearly creamed on the interstate by a semi-truck when the vehicle just died.”
NHTSA complaint #10235628, filed 2008-07, 1,500 miles“I was driving my 2007 Hyundai Elantra with 73,000 (about I need to get the final death mileage) miles on it. I heard a slight rattle when I pushed in the gas pedal. I noticed it happened when I started. I was about a mile from home and figured it was a loose screw and drove carefully. All gauges and lights were normal, no smoke ect. I started up a hill. The rattle got louder quickly (10-15 seconds). The temp gauge spiked suddenly and my RPM's dropped down to 1 and below. I pulled into a left hand turn lane at a light. The car died. …”
NHTSA complaint #10421419, filed 2011-08, 73,000 miles“Hyundai Elantra 2007 stalls intermittently while driving and at a stop.
