Car will lose power while driving, on occasion it can be jumped / restarted, but it will suddenly lose power again. Have towed it 6 times in 5 months. Now I'm looking for an entirely new engine. Side note: you can't put the car in neutral to tow it if there is no power, so you have to hope jumper cables will get it enough power to put the car in neutral. No manual steering either, so we had to use a tow truck several times since you couldn't turn corners manually at all the steering wheel just locks, even with the key in the ignition.

The vehicle experience rod knock with 57,000 and vehicle has erratic transmission shifting. The dealer explained they would cover 60 percent but my cost is still 4,000.00 for which the vehicle is only worth 6,000 on trade. Plus $600 to fix transmission problem. Requested picture from dealer but only sent pictures of metal shavings in oil pan and valve cover.

The car will not start despite the battery being charged and no apparent issues with the vehicle which left me stranded. The vehicle only has 40,000 miles on it. This appears to be a range switch issue. I do have a drivetrain warranty; this should be covered; however, this should not be happening with as many complaints that have been reported. This should be a recall!

My car won't start when turning the key it would make a click noise but won't turn on unless you try several times and sometimes it would take a hour or more to do so. Two years ago changed the battery thinking it was that but after all the dealer said it was the starter so it got changed. Three years since then now I am having the same problem. Took it to the mechanic and the car looks fine everything was diagnosed and seems ok so decided to leave it overnight so they can test it next day. Once they did the car didn't want to turn on so they boosted it and said it was the battery. After changing the battery three days later the car still giving me the same problem sometimes it won't turn on. Next step will be change the starter again but mechanics can't find the real problem because once the car desides to turn on there is no problem but it is a struggle not knowing when and where this will happen, it is very unsafe.

Intermittent issue with starting the vehicle (2011 hyundai elantra) , mostly after overnight parking, generally from a parked, non start position. When you turn the key, a single click. You may try a second or sixth time, and the vehicle will start and run normally. It may be fine for a day or two, then have problems again even several times throughout the day. Shifting into reverse or neutral, then back into park seems to help, but only that time. After initial problem ten months ago, car was taken to dealer for testing. It was found the prior owner had replaced the starter (so was relatively new and may be proof prior own experienced same issue), battery has been replaced. Everything tested normally and issue could not be recreated at dealership. Two weeks ago, the issue began again, happening quite frequently. It is winter season again, which is a dangerous condition to not have your vehicle start, and it has caused owner to be late for work and be temporarily stranded. We have researched the issue to be related to a technical service bulletin (no. 15-at-001) stating a range sensor switch may be the cause of this issue. Vehicle will be brought in again to dealer, hoping this issue can be recreated, or they will not repair. In fact, at the first visit they acted as if they never heard of this issue. We have records from first visit and will the next for our records. A recall should be issued for all affected vehicles in this service bulletin.
