| While driving in heavy traffic, inching along at low speed for about 1/2 miles; stopping and starting all the way, suddenly during one of these stops, the motor started to revve and the car accelerated on its own. had to brake hard to avoid hitting the car in front of me. about 10 minutes later, while parking the car in a parking space, the same thing happened. i had already stopped and was putting the car in park. i took the car to the local hyundai garage where they did road testing. computer tests showed no codes; so no repairs were made. when the tech line of the manufacturer was contacted on this matter was told that there were no cases relating to this problem on file. have had this problem sporatically since 2010. last reported an acceleration problem to the hyundai garage early in the month of december 2012. no one at hyundai wants to help me. | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2008 hyundai elantra. while turning at 15 mph, the vehicle suddenly began to lose power when the accelerator pedal was depressed. instead of accelerating, the engine slowed down, but never lost complete power. the contact pulled the vehicle over for approximately 20 minutes and attempted to restart it, but was unsuccessful. when she proceeded to accelerate, the check engine light illuminated on the instrument panel. the contact drove the vehicle back to her residence. the following day the vehicle was towed to a dealer and they stated that nothing was wrong with the vehicle; however, they suspected that the failure could have been due to the fuel quality. through online research, the contact found numerous complaints and even an investigation on the same failure she is experiencing. the current and failure mileages were 1,115. | |||

| My 2008 hyundai elantra started losing power at 70 mph, and almost stalled on the highway. i pulled off the road at the next exit and the car continued to reduce speed. i safely parked the car, and had to have the car towed. i was 300 miles away from my home. if i had stalled on the highway it would have been extremely dangerous. *tr | |||

| I have a 2008 elantra that stalled on july 21, 2008 on the new jersey turnpike when it had 3,455 miles. the car decelerated so quickly that i was almost rear ended by an 18-wheeler. a half hour earlier it nearly stalled in an intersection and almost caused an accident. the check engine light turned on approximately 10 minutes before the the intersection incident and 40 minutes before almost being rear ended by the truck. a state trooper stopped to make sure i was okay and to escort me to the toll both / exit but i don't imagine he filed a report. i push the car off the turnpike exit and had it towed to the local hyundai dealer. they diagnosed the problem as a failed fuel pump and replaced the part. there was no accident and no one was injured but the possibility of injury was very real. *tr | |||

| 2008 hyundai elantra with 9082 miles @ time of incident yesterday, on the way home from work on i-90 in massachussets traveling at highway speed, the vehicle lost power and would not accelerate or maintain speed. had to make an emergency lane change to get over to the breakdown lane - this could have been dangerous. vehicle at first would not accelerate beyond 20 mph after pulling over, then ran ok for a while. this morning, it stalled at the end of my driveway, but i was able to start again. then it would not accelerate above 20 mph several times and would buck/run rough once at 20 mph. i was able to limp it to the local hyundai dealership in arlington ma, where it is currently. *tr | |||

| Purchased brand new 2008 hyundai elantra june 5, 2008. since purchasing the car it broke down within 30 days with the check engine light coming on and the engine losing power. the dealership replaced the oxygen sensor and part of the exhaust because the sensor was seized up inside it. within 2 days of getting the car back the check engine light came on again and the car lost power and the engine was rough. the first time it happened was in heavy traffic and during a left hand turn into oncoming traffic. fortunately, the engine regained power and i was able to avoid an accident. the dealership now plans to replace the fuel pump. however, it is on backorder and we will probably be without the car a total of at least 30 days or more due to these repairs. we have contacted an attorney because we no longer have trust in the safety of the vehicle especially since it will be used to transport our 4 month old to day care every day. we haven't even had the car 60 days yet. *tr | |||
