Passing a car on the highway when the Elantra died. Pulled over on the side of the road and all service lights came on. Fire started coming up from the hood. Barely got out of the car before the entire car was engulfed in flames.
2014 Hyundai Elantra fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 24 of 24, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My 2014 hyundai is a great car, except lately, I've experienced an issue that apparently is all too common with hyundai's. The gas gauge is not functioning and I was told that to repair is about 800 - 1000 to repair. I'm a college student and work part time this repair is too expensive, this is a part that should never go bad and always be under warranty, it speaks to the quality of the parts of this vehicle. At this time I've been stuck a few times without gas, when I put in the gas every 2 days I have to put more in to make sure I don't get stranded again. Saving for this part has been hard for us to do. Please consider this being a repair that should be taken care of by the manufacturer. It is dangerous.
I got a tune up on my car then discovered that the misfire in my engine coils is a manufacturer defect. This needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Some times when I crank my car the engine will try to start but makes a constant sputter and then I cut it off I have to let it sit for an hour and then try to crank it again to seee if it will start. My battery, starter, and alternator are good.
When being driven and slowing down for a stop light, car decelerates and stalls, goes to 0 MPH. Brake lights malfunction. Left signal light malfunctions.
Engine has rough idle since I got it I believe it has knock engine issues and should be on the recall list I have replaced engine coils injection system cleaning the RPM at idle is so rough my transmit fluid when I had my meter plugged in is so hot I'm afraid of a fire. But hyundai I've had such bad experience I'm afraid of the run around I just want it replaces fixes it is faulty engine now it surges. I don't want to die for this mystery hyundai engine issue.
The car was in motion on a street. It kept jumping and would not accelerate, the steering wheel got really hard to move. It makes a clicking noise when I try to turn it on, when I turn on the car white smoke that smells really strong starts coming out of the exhaust and the car won't drive, if I put it on drive it jumps a lot and turns off by itself. I have read an article in which many users of the hyundai elantra from the years 2011 to 2015 have this same motor issues. Something is not right with the engine. Even before this happened, the steering wheel feels really rough, its not smooth its not easy to move the steering wheel especially when making a u- turn or turning on a street, I have to pull really hard to make turns, I don't think this is safe.
I was driving on a state roadway, a revved the engine a bit to get over a small hill, and heard loud fan like noises, sputtering, and all the warning lights went on. No smoke came out of the car, it literally sputtered to a stop. I tried to start it, it turned over once and that was it. Tried hooking cables to jump it, even bought a new battery. After changing spark plugs, it was determined one blew. We tried to replace, same thing happened, the engine is shot, the dealer is claiming $7,000 to fix this, and I'm seeing there are issues with the engine, not just me. I work for penndot maintenance, so I'm on top of maintaining, oil, filters, check ups. Tires were a bit low, but next on my list. I need help.
When I start my car on a daily basis it works perfectly fine. Suddenly ill go out to start my car and its not starting after replacing the camshaft sensors, battery, starter and more. Ive got my car put on the diagnostic tests at the actual dealership and there is nothing shown. Ive had my car towed two times to different dealerships and ive managed to find the issue which after reasearching as well that the "range switch" could be the problem or "shift interlock". Sometimes it will start and sometimes it wont start at times until I have to have it towed these last couple of times. This has been a major issue with my everyday life getting back and forth to work and with a child! Its stressful! It doesn't matter if its hot or cold outside the car will not start certain times of the year.
As I was driving my oil light came on, it was flickering on and off then all of a sudden my car just stopped and the check engine, battery, and oil light came on. I took it to the shop the told me it was the battery, so I replaced it. 2 months later the same thing happened and I was told it was the fuel pump, so I replaced the fuel pump, and had the oil changed. Now it's been 3 months and I am having the same issue. I love my elantra but this issue is causing me more money and time. No codes come up when they hook it up for diagnostics so this has to be an issue with a faulty part in the car.

Wants to stall when pushing on brakes, and when I let off brakes it wants to stall, my gas mileage stays the same ,and my temperature gauge goes up fast when's I start the vechicle. My lights in my car don't come on to much. And it's seem to be running rough in certain areas then it goes back to running good when I get further away from my house I had my car at dealerships 3 times and they say no codes. And the car does this when I sit still and when I push on the gas. It does it in city highway seems to be running normal. Dealers don't know what's wrong
My daughter and I started smelling gas pulled over to see and looked under the hood of the car and noticed gas squirting everywhere turned the car off and removed the cover that is over the engine to see where it was coming from and noticed the clap that claps to the hose on the engine had came a loose I also noticed that the plastic was cracked in the inside of the hose. I had someone temporary place it back on til I can get it to the company I purchased it from.
My daughter attends a university in the los angeles area. I bought her this car thinking it would keep her safe on the hectic freeways. Three times now the car has stalled on the freeway. Each time the traffic was moving very slowly with stop and go traffic. I advised her to take it to the nearest dealership and she did. They called her and asked to keep the car because they were unable to duplicate the problem so they couldn't diagnose it. She picked the car up the next day and it still wasn't diagnosed. I've seen forums on the internet where this problem seems to recur with hyundais and is traced to the 1) maf sensor 2) fuel system; pump, injectors, filter 3) catalytic converter. If a technician has to "duplicate" the problem in order to diagnose it, it may never be fixed! Now I tell my daughter to stay in the slow lane just in case. So much for "safety".
I was on a highway driving the vehicle (a 2014 hyundai elantra) at highway speed when it inexplicably "stalled" for lack of a better term. I quickly lost speed and could not accelerate despite the fact that I was pressing the gas pedal all the way to the floor at one point. The vehicle simply did not respond. There was plenty of gas in the vehicle, so I had not run out of gas. The vehicle appeared to have shut off in the middle of operation. This resulted in a major accident on a highway where I, along with the other occupants within the vehicle, sustained significant injuries. Notably, no airbags deployed--even though the vehicle was struck several times from different angles and sustained heavy damage, including being crushed in from the rear.
