In Elantra N, the plastic piece (splash guard) under the engine is prone to coming loose and/or coming off while driving. This has happened to me and many many others. Its poorly manufactured, and fasteners (push pins) are really cheap. Part # should be 29110-IB000 The warranty doesn't cover this. This reddit thread has many people reporting same issue. Still there's no recall or TSB: [XXX] People are saying stuff like: "I was driving and the undercarriage guard just fell off. I ended up having to rip broken pieces off and zip tie the rest because I was in the middle of nowhere." Another person- "2022, during the next service the Hyundai mechanics went “Haha yeah, I’ve heard that happens…” and proceeded to do nothing about it." Another person- "Oh boy, this has been a sore spot for me... Mine came damaged when I bought the car, went through hell confirming part numbers, sourcing who had it cheapest (ended up being the dealer because all 3rd party Hyundai part sites want insane shipping for this), finally get it on, just for the same exact experience to happen at 75-80mph... Thought a tire was about to let go as the sound got more violent then CRACK. Realized what it was, then a second chunk broke off, and watched it almost boomerang into the car behind me 🤦‍♂️." For reference [XXX] n This causes part to drag and come off also causing potential harm to other vehicles. Could you make Hyundai recall this or something to come up with a better solution to this part ? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Clutch failure at 28,000 miles. Was getting off from a hike and all of a sudden I couldn’t shift gears after shifting to 4th gear.
LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION Apr 1, 2024
I was driving on the highway, got a flat tire. The second my tire popped. I started getting a few lights on my dashboard abs, forward safety light, limited differential light, blind spot light, rear cross traffic light. Worst of them all is a red steering wheel light which makes the vehicle difficult to steer. This is a new car with under 20k miles and it’s a lease. After the tire was replaced the lights are still on and the car is still non drivable.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS Feb 1, 2024
I had 4 warning signs appear while driving in show. Those 4 warnings were Forward Collision Warning, rear cross traffic warning, Cruise control warning, vehicle stability control warning. They were simply not working. After driving for around 5-10 minutes, my steering gradually became very heavy making it difficult to steer. I had to pull over to the side eventually. Controlling the steering wheel put my safety and others at risk. The problem was confirmed by a dealer and they have mentioned it was due to an ABS sensor. No the parts were not inspected by the manufacturer, police, or the insurance companies. Yes the warning lights of 4 error appeared before the steering wheel became heavy.

The car is a ticking time bomb and dangerous to the public. My car has stalled and broke down in the highway several times. Had to wait for 3-6 hours tow trucks in between. The latest one, I reported to the service advisor that my car stalled all of a sudden at a neighborhood. She told me they didn't find any error codes therefore there is nothing wrong with the car. I was also told to keep driving it till it breaks down and only come back to them when that happens. Lo and behold not even 3 days later on Christmas night it broke down on me and had to wait in the middle of the highway in between the highway and on ramp. Had to wait several hours in the cold as the car would not start for a tow truck to come. After dropping off the Vehicle at the same dealership again it will be almost 4 days and they have not touched the car since. They don't know what's wrong with it because it doesn't show an error code on their GDS scanning tool. Now it wont even scan because the car will not start. Therefore they don't know how to fix it. Rather than trying to look for the source of the issue, they only replace the damaged parts caused by the issue. Same exact scenario happened back in September, car broke down on the highway, 6+ hour wait for a tow truck, the service advisor said the Catalytic Converter melted and they just went to replace that and not what led up to that issue. The stalling has happened several times, I would lose all power and just coast to the side of the road with check engine, battery, oil light, everything on, on the dash and if the onboard Bluelink system does not get a code then the service center will not know what to do with the car. They heavily rely on the error code before they can attempt to do anything to the vehicle. My ODB scanner shows me all the DTC codes but the dealership just brushes it off and doesn't listen to the customer. I keep telling them you don't get fouled spark plugs and melted catalytic converter if there's no issues.

There is a recall on this vehicle, but Hyundai is prioritizing new, unsold cars over cars that are currently in use. It has been several months since the recall was announced, and I have seen many, many unsold cars repaired so that they could be sold, but haver yet to hear of any cars on the road and in use that have been repaired. Hyundai is prioritizing profits over the safety of their owners.
