Description of the problem | I'm writing to notify you of my reoccurring issue on my 2013 hyundai elantra. Upon purchasing my vehicle on or about 5,000 miles, my car would have false starts. I brought the issue up during one of my early maintenance visits at danbury hyundai which was on december 1, 2012, in which they stated to me that they were my headlights. Any individual with common sense knows transmission and starter issues have no correlation to headlights. In any event, my car began not igniting at all on or about 56,000 miles (video footage of this will be provided if needed). Prior to this, it would have false starts occasionally throughout the year but never on a daily basis until recently. I've had my car towed twice in the month of august to danbury hyundai and both occasions they said there is nothing they can do for me. As you can imagine, having lemon of a car since the purchase is extremely frustrating and i warn everyone around me to never purchase a hyundai unless you want to pump your gas and wait an hour for your car to start, if that's the kind of reliability you want then go for it. On september 9th, 2015, my car was returned to me and was working properly until yesterday september 16th. Please be advised that at 4:08 p. M. Leaving work my car would not recognize the gears and would not start and at 7:19p. M. The same issue occurred. Google search yielded others with my car who have the same issue! These are brand new cars being issued!! Http://www. Carcomplaints. Com/hyundai/elantra/2013/electrical/engine_wont_turnover_wont_start. Shtml http://www. Hyundai-forums.
