Description of the problem | I purchased a new 2013 elantra gt in may of this year. A week after taking it home the tire pressure light went off while driving. We pulled over & immediately blue link sent an alert telling me a malfunction in my tpms was found & to take the car to service asap. Took it to the dealership & was told that is was a simple learning failure. Reset code & was sent on my way. The next week the car did the same thing with the tpms. Back to the dealer it went. Had it scanned again. Was told nothing was wrong & they cleared the codes thru blue link. I was then told to just ignore it & it should be ok. Mostly it is just electronically interference. I parked the car & used my husbands car for a while. I start using my car & going down 295 it happened again. Pulled over & blue link sent the alert again. Called the dealership & made an appointment. I was told that they had a certified hyundai professional technician that was going to look my car over. After 4 hrs of waiting i was given a paper asking me not to use electronics in the car as this was causing my tpms issue. They paper was dated march 2007. Really? At that point i was frustrated so i called hyundai corp office. After an hr conversation i was told to take it to another dealership for service. So that friday off the car went to another dealership. At the dealership i was told that the car needed an alignment bad & that my tires were over inflated by 8lbs each. So 3 hrs & a lot of patience i was told the car was all set. 20 mins after leaving the dealership the tpms light goes off again with the blue link alert to service the car asap. The following day back to the dealership again. This trip i was told i needed a sensor changed. 3 hrs later i leave & half way home tpms again. That's 5 times no repair. Now they can't provide me a loaner but want to keep the car overnight. Car has been parked for 2 weeks waiting. *jb |
