2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA — Complaint #2037035
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN filed October 31, 2024
NHTSA complaint #2037035 (ODI reference 11622991) concerns a 2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA and was filed on October 31, 2024. The owner reports the failure occurred on October 31, 2024. The report was geocoded to Pennsylvania based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as electrical system:horn, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HYUNDAI ELANTRA cohort independently describe similar electrical system:horn failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
My 2024 Hyundai Elantra limited horn stopped working, almost causing someone to hit me. The car only has 4,000 miles on it. I am extremely lucky I did not get in an accident because of this. Extremely dangerous issue and soon further research its a very common problem with some newer Hyundais. There needs to be a recall before some actually gets hurt!
