The clouds have opened at  1 800 LEMON LAW headquarters providing one of those days where you are paranoid that your sunroof is open or your windows are down.  But imagine parking your brand new car, and returning to find the trunk open and full of water. You know the trunk was not open previously.  What happened?  It’s a question that is baffling quite a few 2013 Hyundai Elantra drivers.

We are representing a number of distressed Hyundai Elantra drivers who are complaining of random trunk openings, in some cases leaving their belongings out in the open for people to take and/or  causing water to fill up the trunk compartment leading to mold and mildew.  The message boards are also lighting up with the Hyundai Elantra trunk opening issue.  Unfortunately, in many circumstances, the service advisors do not know what is causing the trunk to open.

If you are experiencing your Hyundai Elantra trunk opening, make sure you get back to an authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the matter addressed.  After each visit, you should be presented with a repair invoice that outlines the problem and what was done to address the problem.  This issue is covered under the Hyundai manufacturers warranty.
