Hyundai Elantra Touring Reliability through March 31, 2013
General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

| Hyundai Elantra Touring in New York, United States | ||||
| Month | Year | Odometer (in miles) |
Cost | Problem/Repair Description |
| Aug | 2009 | 0 | Purchased new, missing one pin-stripe (dealer installed) and rear hatch finger pull cup fell out. | |
| Jul | 2010 | 14000 | 0 | One of the rear sway bar fasteners came loose, resulted in rattling and clunking sounds from the rear of the car. Dealer re-torqued the bolt, everything seems fine now. Gas tank cap doesn't pop out, need to pry it with my fingers. At first dealer lubricated the lock, worked for 1 day. This time they ordered whole new assembly, will replace it when it arrives. Warranty service. |
| Nov | 2010 | 19000 | 0 | Turns out dealer didn't really order the part as stated last time. This time they adjusted the gas cap door (as opposed to just greasing it the last time) and it has been working fine since. |
| Jun | 2011 | 30000 | 0 | Tire leaking, discovered valve stem broken. Took car to the nearest non-Hyundai tire place, they yanked out the TPMS valve and chucked it. Had to take it to Hyundai and pay $200 to have new TPMS valve put in. Warranty would have covered it. |
| Sep | 2011 | 33000 | 500 | Braking at highway speeds made the car shake violently. E-brake wouldn't hold well and intermittent humming noise was heard on highway. Dealer resurfaced rotors, adjusted e-brake. Also adjusted fuel door as always. |

| Oct | 2011 | 48000 | First odometer entry | |
| Feb | 2012 | 50300 | 0 | Intermittent buzzing noise at certain speeds from headliner near front windows. Had to take it in 3 times and on the third time had a service tech ride with me so we could pin down the noise. Headliner backing finally replaced. Noise gone. E-brake handle was out of adjustment and not fully disengage when the handle was put down, causing the dash light to come on intermittently, especially over bumps or rough road. Interior hatch handle fell out. Replaced under warranty. Fell out within a week. Replaced again and so far so good. |

| Sep | 2009 | 2000 | First odometer entry | |
| Oct | 2009 | 4000 | 0 | Called dealer for warranty service - keyless entry function stopped working. Dealer advised me to remove PDL fuse for 15 minutes. Keyless feature resumed working. |
| Nov | 2009 | 6000 | 0 | Warranty service for non-functional rear wiper, cover on steering wheel missed stitches/peeling, recurrent keyless entry non-operation and power door lock failure. TPMS system also non-functional. |
| Jan | 2010 | 9300 | 0 | Warranty service for recurrent airbag light, rear wiper (again), and keyless entry/door locks (third time). The door locks now only work when the car is on and running and neither keyless remote functions. |
| Feb | 2010 | 10700 | 0 | New steering wheel cover installed. |
| Jul | 2010 | 19000 | 0 | Fuel filler door release spring failed. Part backordered. |
| Jan | 2011 | 26000 | 0 | Dealer has yet to receive parts for this problem. Suspect not ordered. Living with semi-functional fuel filler door for now. Valve stem with integral TPMS sensor broke off in hand while attempting to fill tire. Nearest dealer with parts assured problem could be fixed quickly under warranty. Dlr refused svce and attempted to charge. No damage to wheel/tire. Valve stem repaired under Hyundai warranty. Sick of dealing with Hyundai North America and spotty dealer network. Sold car, took proceeds and banked most - spent rest on used Saab 9-5. I'd rather have a fun unreliable car than a boring one. |
